Divinity: Against The Godly System

Chapter 78: I'll slaughter them

"These are the ’Boots of the Wind Blessing.’ They will make you fast as the wind," The High Duke said as he gave Ryder a pair of Golden Shoes.

[Unique Grade Item: Boots of the Wind Blessing received]

"Thank you," Ryder thanked the 4th High Duke as he wore the Boots of the Wind Blessing and kept his old boots back in the storage space. He was surprised that he got treasures like these before he could even enter the treasury. This came as a pleasant surprise. The treasures were high class too which made him even more happy.

The 4th High Duke also walked back.

"From now on, you’re the Prince of the Demon Realm. The newest addition to the Royalty. Let’s go. It’s time to introduce you to the citizens," High Duke Magna said as he started walking towards the exit.

The others Dukes and Ryder also left the room. Ryder looked at the statue once before vacating the room.

They locked the doors before they all walked back to the hall where all the Dukes were staying.

"We greet the Prince!"

All the Dukes saw the crown on Ryder’s head and realized that the coronation was completed. They all greeted Ryder, but none of them bowed down or did anything excessive. They only needed to bow down before the king and no one else, not even in front of a prince, and Ryder wasn’t their king yet.

"Follow us to the balcony. It’s time for the declaration," High Duke Oris informed the dukes.

The other Dukes nodded and followed after them. In no time, everyone was standing on the balcony on the front of the palace.

The balcony had plenty of space for everyone.

Ryder stood at the front of the balcony. The 1st High Duke and the 3rd High Duke stood on his right while the other 2 High Dukes stood on his left.

All the Dukes stood behind them.

The crowd was suddenly silent as they saw all the Dukes and High Dukes together, but all of them had the same question in their mind.

’Who is that boy?’

"I would like to thank everyone for coming here today. Throughout the history of our Demon Realm, we have had many historical moments, and today shall be one of those moments," High Duke Magna said.

Although he was speaking in his normal tone, everyone was able to hear his voice clearly.

High Duke Magna spoke till here before he looked at High Duke Oris.

"We have been without a king since His Majesty left us all those years ago, but not anymore. The boy you see beside me is the disciple of His Majesty. He is the new Prince of our Demon Realm. Even the Demon God has blessed him. He will be your future King once he completes the Kingship Trial! All Hail Prince Hades!" High Duke Oris announced.

The demons standing over the ground heard all the words clearly, but they were having difficulty processing this information. They thought that High Duke Magna would be the King, but a kid became the King candidate? But then they realized that he was a disciple of their king. He had the right to the throne and the backing of their king.

After a moment, they processed all the information before they all started chanting together.

"All Hail Prince Hades!"

"All Hail Prince Hades!"

"All Hail Prince Hades!"

The chant continued for over 5 minutes. The more they chanted, the more enthusiastic they got.

"That’s enough! Now the Prince will speak to you," High Duke Oris said to the demons.

"Go on. Give a speech. Also, you need to show them that you can be their king. You must maintain your dignity," High Duke Oris whispered to Ryder.

This came as a surprise to Ryder as he hadn’t expected that he would be asked to give a speech. If he had known, he would have prepared something.

"I don’t have the magic to enhance my voice like you guys. Will my voice reach them?" Ryder inquired in a low voice.

"Don’t worry. None of us used any enhancement. It’s the magic of this balcony. As long as you stand here and don’t intentionally speak in a low tone, they’ll be able to hear the things you say," High Duke Oris explained.

"Ah, Alright," Ryder nodded his head before he started looking at the crowd.

"Intimidation," Ryder used the skill he had received because of absorption.

It was a skill that made his aura stand out. As soon as he used the skill, the ones that looked at him would feel as if he was a fierce existence that was not worth offending.

Although this skill was pretty useless in battle as it didn’t work on beasts, it did work on most of the other species. He had used this skill on Bulga, and the effects were more than satisfactory.

"Everyone, I’m the new Prince of the Demon Realm, but that’s only a temporary title as I will soon become your King, and as a King, I want to promise you something! No matter what happens, I will never let anyone trample the dignity of our Demon Realm, just like my master! Let alone the Death Domain, even if the gods tried to target my land, I’ll slaughter them all!" Ryder said passionately.

Although he was only saying this stuff to sound badass, there was something inside him that was making him feel as if he was not lying.

As soon as Ryder said the last line, he saw an abrupt vision. In the vision, he was standing in the void, and all the gods were surrounding him, but he could feel no fear. He had a pitch-black sword in his hand as he said a similar thing.

"I’ll slaughter everyone that stands against me!"

"Yaaaaaaa," The demons started roaring loudly as if they were also supporting Ryder’s declaration. They could feel a patriotic feeling in their heart and deep respect for Ryder.

"All Hail the Prince!"

"All Hail the Prince!"

They started chanting once again.
