Vienna, Bianca''s mother, was worried after noticing another woman sitting beside Be''s husband.


    She mistakenly thought that Belial had called everyone together to punish Aengus for cheating on his daughter or something simr.


    Noticing her mother''s worry, Bianca leaned forward and whispered the real reason for the gathering.


    Vienna''s eyes widened as she absorbed what Bianca told her.


    If what Bianca said was true, her new son-inw was more terrifying, stronger, and more ambitious than her own husband.


    Bianca exaggerated a bit, iming that her brother-inw was nearing the power of a Demon God, which made Vienna skeptical a bit.


    Their Progenitor, the Demon God''s power, was said to be unrivaled and world-surpassing, so theparison seemed exaggerated—at least for now.


    However, Vienna was certain of one thing: after noticing Aengus'' missing horns and the strange ancient red mark on his forehead, he looked more devilishly powerful—far more than her husband—with the confidence he exuded while sitting in the middle of his wives, Aria and Be, right in front of them.


    Everyone shifted their attention towards the Duke, sensing he was finally about to speak.


    "Today, I have gathered all my wives, children, and important officials to announce that from this day forward, I will be handing down my rule to my Son-In-Law, the Leader of the Rising Liberation Army. This decision will be official from now on, and those who disagree with his rule will be swiftly executed by me personally."


    "What!"


    Duke Belial''s words were powerful and unmistakably clear, but they sent ripples of shock and confusion throughout the room. Who, in their right mind, would hand over their rule to a Son-In-Law, despite having so many heirs in line among the Duke''s children?


    "This is unfair! Please, Lord Husband, please reconsider!"


    A few concubines wore displeased expressions at the announcement. Duchess Vienna, having no son, had assumed that the rank of Duke would naturally pass to the children of her rivals, and Belial''s sudden decision felt like a bolt from the blue. The idea that their human-looking Son-In-Law would take over the Dukedom permanently was unthinkable to them.


    Aengus and his wives remained silent, allowing Belial to finish his speech without interruption.


    Duke Belial''s gaze hardened as he looked at his wives, recognizing the limits of their understanding. He couldn''t entirely me them, as they didn''t yet grasp Aengus'' true potential. Aengus wasn''t someone who would stop at ruling the Lust Dukedom like a mere Son-In-Law content with scraps of power. His eyes were set on the world itself—what was one Dukedompared to his ambitions?


    "Does everyone think I am being foolish by handing the rule to my Son-In-Law?" Belial''s sharp voice echoed across the hall, his piercing gaze sweeping over everyone present, including his children.


    "Lord Duke is wise. We trust you have a grand vision," a few officials quickly responded, eager to align with his decision. Their loyalty was evident, though a few others remained visibly hesitant, unsure of the reasoning behind such an unusual choice.


    "Lord Father, we will do as youmand. I am certain you have thought carefully about our future!" Some of Belial''s children, both young and old, voiced their agreement obediently, though hints of curiosity lingered in their expressions.


    "Good," Belial dered, his tone softening slightly, but the satisfaction in his voice was clear. He was pleased that his authority remained unquestioned by the majority, even in such a controversial decision.


    "Aengus,e here," Belial called, his voice firm andmanding.


    Aengus rose to his feet, his two wives, Be and Aria, offering him encouraging smiles. Their support was unwavering as he walked forward to receive his new title.


    Belial stood tall and regal, holding out the Duke''s Seal.


    "This Lord''s Seal is now yours, and the 20 million minions of Lust Dukedom are now under yourmand. You are now the new Lord of Lust Dukedom, the Supreme Leader of the Liberation Army. From this moment, everyone here is at your beck and call. Good Luck on leading us to a better future that you have shown us."


    The deep resonance of Belial''s voice carried through the room, his words carrying weight and finality.


    The audience fell silent, their gazes fixed on Aengus. The announcement was not just a simple transfer of power; it was a deration that would forever change the bnce of the demon world.


    Aengus epted the Duke''s Seal, the powerful artifact that would allow him tomand an army of 20 million demons. With a single gesture, the lives and fates of countless beings now rested in his hands.


    Aengus marveled at the small creation: a metal rod with intricate runes, spread like spider webs, connecting to the souls of the demon minions. He would like to create a Seal like this for himself, but it was a big gamble—if the enemy forces got their hands on such an artifact, it could pose a significant risk.


    However, for future needs, it could serve as a valuable reference when he couldn''t single-handedly control his billions-strong army. It could be an evil mean of keeping possible betrayal in check.


    Holding the Seal, Aengus finally broke his silence, looking at the audience.


    "You are now under the Liberation Army. Our goal is now united: To conquer the world. To betray us from henceforth, means death and eternal imprisonment."


    The evil fiendish aura emanating from Aengus sent a chill down everyone''s spine, making them feel like ants before him.


    His deration was bold and unthinkable, but they were now under hismand. Even if some felt unwilling and considered their new lord foolish, strength is what matters in the demon world. Disobeying meant death.


    Now, whether they would follow their doom or glory, only time would tell.


    "Glory To Lord Of Liberation!"


    "Long Live Lord Of Liberation!"


    .....


    With shouts of cheers and apuse, the power transfer ceremony came to an end.


    Aengus, Aria, and Be headed outside to n their next action: to conquer a Demon Lord''s territory.


    "Did you do the right thing, Lord Husband? It means going against Demon Lord Crimson, isn''t it?"


    As they left, Duchess Vienna asked Belial worriedly inside the now-empty hall.


    Belial nced their way and replied with a chuckle, "Our vision is narrow, Vienna, but not his. He is an anomaly that even those gods would be shocked by. What''s a demon lordpared to it?"
