Chapter 504 The First One
Reign continued to blend into the dense crowd as he watched the reunion unfold before him.
'Anna reached Demon King level just like me?'
He found it hard to believe.
He knew that he had the system helping him grow stronger—making it easier for him to learn new skills, level up, and beat tough enemies. That explained why he had gotten powerful so quickly.
But Anna? She had done it all by herself. No special help, no system boosting her abilities.
Every bit of power she'd gained was her own. If anything, her growth was even more impressive than his.
But Anna's growth wasn't the only thing that caught his attention.
'Lilith was one thing,'
he thought, remembering her current power'
but an all-out war with Hell?'
That was on another level entirely.
He didn't feel fear exactly—just a bit of shock at the scale of it all.
To him, whether it was devils or demons wreaking havoc on humans, it hardly made a difference.
If Hell's forces started attacking, he'd simply devour them down as a food replacement. Either way, he wasn't going to lose much.
As he contemplated the situation, he began to see the possibilities unfold.
This set of events might even accelerate his growth, providing him with countless opportunities to prove himself and gain even more power.
He couldn't wait for them to start their invasion.
While he continued to listen, Reign's ears perked up at another piece of juicy news.
'They want to recruit me?'
The shock hit him again. He'd done plenty of bad deeds—actions that would send most demons running in the opposite direction.
But according to Elizabeth, the Abyssal Alliance was willing to overlook it all and offer him a chance to join them.
A ripple of interest passed through the crowd, some nodding in recognition.
"Did you hear? She's the Demon Queen who improved living conditions for humans in her territory," one voice said, filled with admiration.
"Yeah, I heard she made sure they had access to good food and shelter. " another replied, excitement in their tone. "She's really looking out for everyone, isn't she?"
"She has a reputation for being fair and compassionate. She's perfect for the role of ambassador," a third voice chimed in, the approval clear in their words.
"Imagine what she could do for us all if she leads this alliance!" someone else added, hope blossoming in their eyes.
As the murmurs grew louder, it was clear that Elizabeth's good reputation had preceded her, making her an inspiring figure for both demons and humans alike.
'Wow, talk about a good PR move,' Reign chuckled to himself, leaning against a nearby wall and watching the crowd's reactions.
He found the tactics of the demon alliance more interesting than he had initially thought.
And it was working. As Elizabeth continued her speech, the atmosphere shifted.
One by one, humans began to clap and cheer for her, their voices rising in support.
"Queen Elizabeth! Queen Elizabeth!" they chanted.
'I'm out of here. I'll just go back when all this commotion is gone,' he muttered to himself, feeling the excitement in the air was too much for his taste.
With a slight shake of his head, he turned around and made his way through the crowd.
In no time, he found himself walking down the familiar alley streets he had passed through earlier.
Reign was about to search for a nearby hotel to change bodies when a strange sensation prickled at the back of his mind.
'Someone is following me,'
he thought, glancing over his shoulder.
"Why are — "
"Reign!"
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Anna, and in the next moment, she leaped into his arms.
He barely had time to brace himself before she wrapped him in a tight hug.
