The Lord is Empire

However, just as Zhao Fu turned, another ten or so female Devils appeared behind him.

The Devil in the lead wore red samurai armour and had three samurai swords at her waist. Her black hair fell to her shoulders, and even though she had a smile on her face, her black eyes had a hint of savageness within them. She was quite valiant-looking and had great ambitions.

She was Momijigari and was much more magnificent and renowned than Shuten-douji.

When she was younger, Momijigari had been called Kurei. However, she had been slain by a samurai called Taira no Koremochi with a holy katana. Momijigari, who had wanted to bring peace to the world, could only temporarily hide within the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and hundreds of years later, she reappeared as a man called Oda Nobunaga!

“Your Majesty, why are you leaving? Could it be that you look down on Devils like us? Your Majesty is the Emperor of Great Qin, someone with supreme authority. You should have whatever you want; Your Majesty, don’t be like those other fake men,” Momijigari said as she smiled at Zhao Fu.

Zhao Fu stared and could not understand what she was saying, so he asked, “What do you mean?”

Momijigari gave a slightly mocking smile as she replied, “Those who say they can only love one woman – are they really telling the truth? If they could, who wouldn’t want to have many wives and have as many beauties as the clouds?

“In this world filled with desires, it’s not just men but women who also want to have multiple husbands and be surrounded by handsome men.”

Hearing this, Zhao Fu nodded and agreed. After all, this was quite true – in this world, how many people truly loved each other to the death? Most of these people only existed in books, as people all desired true love. However, in reality, things were not so because humans were things of desire.

Seeing Zhao Fu agree, Momijigari’s smile became brighter, “Then Your Majesty shouldn’t be one of those fake people; since Your Majesty’s harem is so big, I’m sure you wouldn’t mind Devils like us joining.”

Hearing this, Zhao Fu lightly laughed; he had never thought that she would have these intentions.

At that moment, Momijigari suddenly squatted down and suddenly started taking off Zhao Fu’s clothes as she gave a confident smile and said, “Then, Your Majesty, let me taste you…”

“Wait, tell me your goal first. We are here for proper business and have many things to attend to.” Before Momijigari could finish speaking, Zhao Fu cut her off because he was not someone who would neglect proper matters for his own desires.

Seeing Zhao Fu be so serious, Momijigari could only stand up and say, “Your Majesty, we have three goals. The first is about our Young Miss; we hope that Your Majesty will not continue to neglect her like this. The second is that all of us Devils are quite exceptional, but Your Majesty has also sidelined us; this is not good. Third, we would like Your Majesty to create a Devil World for us.”

After hearing Momijigari’s words, Masanori Hano’s figure appeared in Zhao Fu’s mind. He realized that she had some feelings towards him.

As for the second goal, back then, Zhao Fu knew that the Devil City had countless Devils, but he did not know much about them. Now that he had seen them for himself and knew that they were all quite powerful, he realised that they could serve the Great Qin.

Moreover, because the Devil City was still where Japan originally had been, it was to the side of the Great Qin, and was quite far from the Great Qin’s centre of power. Their intention was quite clear: they wanted to join the Great Qin’s centre of power.

As for the Devil World, Zhao Fu did not know what they meant by this, so he asked, “I can agree to help you with your first and second goals, but what do you mean by the Devil World?”

Hearing Zhao Fu’s reply, Momijigari gave a happy smile before saying, “The Devil World is a world created by us. Of course, Your Majesty has not unified a world yet, so we are unable to truly create a Devil World.

“However, you can prepare in advance and give us ten or so regions. All of us Devils will set up a Ten Thousand Devil Barrier that will turn all of the heaven and earth spirit qi into devil qi. Anything that possesses a certain type of item, whether it be people, beasts, or plants, will be able to become Devils.”

Zhao Fu thought about it and asked, “Tell me the advantages and disadvantages. If it is possible, We will support you in this.”

Momijigari smiled and nodded before saying, “Your Majesty, the advantage is that you will gain a Devil army that will be incredibly savage, bloodthirsty, and evil. It will become Great Qin’s most vicious army. The disadvantages are that those ten or so regions will become completely chaotic and lawless places where the strong devour the weak.”

Hearing this, Zhao Fu frowned because he could imagine what it would be like within the Ten Thousand Devil Barrier. It would definitely be an incredibly dark and bloody place, like a hell on earth.

This was in conflict with Zhao Fu’s principles. Zhao Fu could do anything to his enemies, but he was very kind to those within Great Qin. Even though the Devil World would only span ten or so regions, if it were to develop, he would have to send in a large number of living creatures and have them fight and kill each other. Only by continuously killing and devouring would they be able to create powerful Devils.

The Devils created would not have any virtues or humanity, and they would be pure monsters that lived to kill.

These Devils would be different to those born into the Devil Race. Those from the Devil Race were usually creatures that had Cultivated and had intelligence similar to humans. They were also humanoid and just had the Devil Race’s bloodline.

However, these Devils were essentially mutations, and anyone from any Race under extreme circumstances could become Devils.

For example, if a person continuously killed 1,000 people, the evil devil qi could turn that person into a Killing Devil. A saber that was stained with too much blood could become a Devil Saber, and a person who had died in immense pain or hatred could also become a Devil.

Evil devil qi was a type of pure dark and evil power, and if one turned into a Devil through evil devil qi, one would most likely become a savage existence.

Did Great Qin want to create a Devil army through such a bloody method? If they threw in some of their enemies, because of their hatred of Great Qin, even if they became Devils, they would not obey Great Qin and would do all they could to take revenge.

However, Zhao Fu could not bear to throw his own people in either because he could not treat his own subjects so cruelly.

“Eh, Your Majesty, you’re here. Also, why are you all here?” a surprised voice sounded out, cutting Zhao Fu off in his thoughts.

Masanori Hano appeared, looking at the scene before her in confusion. Why were all of the female Devils and Zhao Fu together?

Momijigari smiled as she replied, “Of course it is for the Young Miss’ future happiness and to prevent Young Miss from continuing to think nonsense to herself.”
