Demon Emperor's Rise: Becoming The Greatest Villain For My Daughter

Step

Max halted in his steps as the hand that was reaching forward started to shake.

The system truly and unconsciously became his first-ever companion, with whom he spoke with an open heart. Sure, he did speak with Tobi, but that was only when he was in need of something.

'Give me a good reason quickly as to why I can't meet my daughter?' Max said, holding back his strong urge.

[ Host, there is a rule set by the God of Destiny. The rule is that when a hero and a demon meet or cross paths, only conflict and destruction will ensue. So, if you get close to your daughter, she will somehow see you as the biggest enemy in her life. ]

Max's eyes widened as he felt someone burning his heart with fire. He turned back and walked toward the city's gate.

Ravenna followed behind him, then she gave one last look at Ana, whom Max was so desperate to meet. She wanted to ask why Max was leaving so suddenly. She had stopped him from getting into the crowd as it might reveal their identity, but she didn't say they could meet her while sneaking into the castle later.

So, she was very confused and wanted to ask what the reason was for his sudden change of heart.

But she stopped herself from asking as she could feel a rage building inside Max that was subconsciously spilling out. For that reason, she didn't say anything, as Max might accidentally reveal everything.

Slowly yet surely, Max and Ravenna got outside of the city and headed toward the nearby forest.

Just after they entered the forest, Ravenna asked. "Max, why did you leave?"

Max didn't stop in his tracks and just stumbled his way forward. While he walked like that, he said to Ravenna. "Ravenna, do you believe in God?"

"God? Like the ones humans say, Who created them and made this world?" Ravenna said while poking her right cheek. She was a demon, so she didn't know it at first, but after mixing with humans and learning from Max, she was able to learn about the concept of gods.

"Yes, do you believe?" Max asked again with a stern voice.

Ravenna racked up her brain and used all her intellect to come up with an answer, as she didn't want to make Max disappointed. "Yes, I do. If there is talk or a rumor about something, or if something many people believe in, then that thing has to be true—that is what you taught me."

"Good, then Ravenna…" Max halted in his tracks finally and turned his head back at Ravenna. With an ear-to-ear grin on his face, Max said. "I want to kill A God."

Ravenna also halted in her tracks and looked at Max dumbfoundedly. She couldn't believe her ears after hearing what she just heard. "Are you serious, Max? Can we even kill a god?"

Ravenna was skeptical because, from all the information she had heard, she had grown to believe that gods were omnipotent.

"Why can't we?" Max continued walking forward after saying that. "If these gods are real and their powers too then they should have heard my words. But look, I am still fine; they are not some strong omnipotent and all-knowing deity you are thinking of, Ravenna, they are just beings with god-like powers."

Max said that with absolute belief. Because he had thought this through when he was heading here, and even if they were omnipotent, Max would still vow to kill them.

Then, Max, what should we do now?" Ravenna asked with awe, as Max's words had the same charm as when she met him for the first time.

"Now, I will regain the years I have lost," Max answered softly. "Then we will go on the search for this god."

Ravenna nodded her head, feeling that was the best thing to do. He was very weak now; even a normal beast could kill him now.

In a few minutes, Max and Ravenna arrived before a cave that was surrounded by tall, majestic trees.

"Ravenna, I have to let you work hard for a few years. I hope you will provide food for us, clean our clothes, and do other kinds of necessary stuff too." Max said while entering the cave.

Ravenna happily said with a smile. "It's okay, I am here to serve you my entire life."

…

Baron Arash's fief.

Arash and Vienna were still showing off their daughter, Ana, to everyone.

At that moment, Ana's eyes opened slowly as thoughts appeared in her mind. "Where am I? Papa?"

Opening her eyes, Ana looked around and found two strange people who were smiling at her. "Paaaa!" Ana wanted to call her father, but not a proper word escaped from her mouth; instead, a baby's cry came out.

"Awww, she is awake, and she's calling your name already," Vienna said with joy, seeing their daughter speak for the first time.

Ana was just born a few hours ago, and when she came out, she didn't make any noise like a normal child. So, they were scared at first but fortunately, they found there was nothing wrong with her when the royal doctors came.

"Hahaha, whose daughter is she, you have to see that first," Arash said proudly, puffing up his chest,

Tears started to come out of Ana's eyes as she could not understand what language they were speaking, and it was making her scared. She started calling Max again in panic. "PAAA! AHH! WAAHH! PAAA!"

However, still, no clear words came out of her mouth as her vocal cords were not fully delivered.

"Hey, why is she crying? Is she hungry?" Arash asked in concern, seeing Ana crying so suddenly.

"Let's take her inside, enough with the show-off." Vienna took Ana inside with love and care.

Arash followed behind her without dispersing the crowd.

Like this started their nightmare and blessing.
