"Do you have any ideas?" Hearing Theola mention the ruler also aroused the interest of Artevans.

After all, the condition that he agreed to join forces with Xiola was to gain the power to control the demons. Now that Sheola has got what he wanted, and Artevans has the power he wants, all that's left is the question of dominance.

The reason why Kaina was allowed to temporarily rule the Demon Clan in name was to use her prestige in the Demon Clan in order to boost the fighting spirit of the warriors and defeat the Necromancy. Now that the war is over, what should be done after that is really something that needs to be discussed.

"Kaina-sama has made it clear that she will not become the new king of the demon race, and she will still be the high priest of the Black Temple, but Kaina-sama hopes that the new demon king will recognize the Black Temple and give him full respect."

Sheola's implication is obvious, this is another condition she offered. Sheola, or the entire "Black Temple", can help Atvance become the new Demon King, but Artevans must give the "Black Temple" the corresponding treatment.

"Isn't the founder of the Black Temple the Dark Pope in your mouth, according to the worship of the demons about him, the Black Hall shouldn't have enough status." Artevans understood what Sheola meant, but was a little confused about the condition.

"The Dark Pope is a descendant of the Demon ancestor Berans, and no one knows his real name. Two hundred years ago, the Hellern was invaded, and the Dark Pope single-handedly repelled the invaders and was revered and adored by the entire clan, and this influence is still present today.

"Relying on the benefits brought by this merit to himself, the Dark Pope privately built the Temple of Notis in Dimor, and created the Black Temple, which was opposed by the Demon King at the time. However, due to the reputation of the Dark Pope, the Black Hall has continued, but the Demon Kings of all generations have been afraid of the growing power of the Black Temple."

"Although the Dark Pope has made it clear that he will not do anything unfavorable to the Demon Race, the Black Temple continues to benefit the Demon Race and is gaining more and more support, and at the same time, it inevitably touches the interests of the Demon King's forces. Therefore, the Demon Kings of the past generations have been secretly restricting the power of the Black Temple."

"Later, the Dark Pope died, and Lord Kayla became the new High Priest. At that time, the Demon King thought that this would be able to suppress the Black Temple, but failed. But as you know, Lord Kayla even gave birth to an heir because she fell in love with a god heir, which became a reason for the newly appointed Sark to overthrow the Black Temple."

Sheola patiently described a piece of history about the "Black Temple".

(In other words, although the Black Temple is in the Dark Hell and has enough reputation in the Demon Clan, it is actually the same as the Demon King...... No, it should be that the demon kings of the past saw it as a threat. ）

Theola's words allowed Artevans to understand the seemingly embarrassing situation that the "Black Temple" had been in in the past, and the conditions she proposed that Atvance could give the "Black Temple" enough attention after becoming the Demon King were indeed acceptable to Artevans.

However, Artevans had something else in mind.

Theola's alliance with himself is actually a collaboration between the "Black Temple" and himself. If you get what you want and immediately suppress the "black temple", it is indeed not benevolent, and it is even likely to face danger. Atellance didn't think that his current self was capable of dealing with the three strong men in the "Black Temple" at the same time, and Atellance didn't think that Kaina would never attack him because he was the heir of Caila.

But on the other hand, Artevans also does not want to be a puppet of the "Black Temple". Sheola's ingenuity, and her methods, Artevans was still afraid of it. From the time it was confirmed that he was going to join forces, it was more like he was being led by the nose by Sheola than a team.

"So, Lord Artevis, what do you think?" Seeing that Artevans was pondering, Theola asked tentatively, although she didn't want to disturb.

(I seem to have missed something, Sheola's condition is not just to win the respect of the new king for the Black Temple.) ）

Looking into Sheola's eyes, Artevans felt that he didn't realize her true purpose.

After thinking for a moment, the corners of Artevan's mouth suddenly curled.

"Of course I'm willing to accept your terms, the Black Temple helped me get what I wanted, how could I live up to your efforts. If Kaina-sama doesn't mind, I'd like to let her help me deal with the demons after I become the Demon King. After all, I'm not that good at managing a race, and I'm sure Kaina will be much better at governing than I am. But at the same time, I also hope that the power of the Black Temple can be used by me.'"

Artevans figured out Sheola's intentions, and the "Black Temple" needed not only recognition, but also power. Proposing to let Kaina assist her in governing the demon clan is actually to hand over the demon clan to her control, so that the "Black Palace" can really hold real power.

In this way, it seems that Artevans's power as the Demon King is hollowed out, but Kaina only claims to assist the outside world, and the ultimate ruling power is still in the hands of Artevans. Moreover, if power is used as a price code and the power of the "Black Temple" is used for himself, in fact, Atvance has nothing to lose.

Atvance wanted to sit on the throne of the Demon King, not to rule over a race, but simply to gain his own power. When it comes to governance, he's not really good at it, and he's not interested in it.

Kaina seems to attach more importance to the affairs of the demons, so let Kaina be called assistance, but in fact, she is the one who really governs the demons, and she can take away a lot of pressure on Artevans. At the same time, it also allows Artevans to do what he really wants to do, which is about the "revenge" plan against the Divine Heir.

What Artevans could think of, Sheola could of course think of, and she understood what Artevans' intentions were.

"I see, I'll pass on what Master Artevans said to Lord Kaina, and she'll be happy." Having gotten the results she wanted, Sheola smiled with satisfaction.

"Well, forgive me for being out of company." With that, Sheola disappeared in place.

Judging by Sheola's expression, she should have agreed and accepted Artevans' conditions.

"Master Artevis, what are you going to do after that?" Rusa's voice rang in Artfans' head.

After the war with the Necromancy, Artevans let Rusha stay in his inner space to cultivate, and the powerful energy made Rusha's strength increase a lot.

"Even if I become the new demon king at this time, I must win the hearts of the people first, otherwise it will be easy to have accidents in the future." Atfans thought it through. If you don't bring some benefits to the demon clan, even if you become a demon king, you won't be able to get enough respect.

The identity of the demon hero is far from enough, and the demon people will not think that Artevans is also a qualified king just because he is a hero who defeated the necromancy.

"So, Rusa, what are you going to do?" Atellance also wanted to know what Rusha thought, after all, since joining forces with Siola, there had been a lot less conversation between Atelas and Rusa.

"I'm willing to work for Lord Atvance forever." Rusa's answer was resolute.

"yes, that's great." Hearing Rusa's answer, Artevans smiled.

————————————

A few days later.

After a few days of post-war work, thanks to the addition of the "Black Temple", the city of Dimore was largely restored to its original state, and the environment of Trier was restored to a habitable level. As long as the houses were built for some more time, some of the civilians who had fled from Trier to Dimoror would be able to return to their hometowns.

And the day after the end of the war, Kaina summoned everyone to the central hall of the Notis Temple, along with several civilians of some prestige.

"I'm here today to talk about the new Demon King, Dvoga and Ive, what do you think?" Kaina looked at Dvoga and Iver first.

"As long as it can bring stability to the demons, I don't care who the demon king is." Iver gave his answer almost without thinking.

"Won't Kaina-sama become a Demon King? You have that prestige and ability. However, if the new Demon King can be recognized, I am willing to offer my loyalty.'" Dvoga thought for a moment before answering.

"I'm still the High Priest of the Black Temple, this won't change, as for the new Demon King, I've already thought about it, and it's the most suitable thing for Artevans to take the position."

Seeing the surprised expressions on the faces of everyone present except for Sheora and Actri, Kaina continued, "You can recall the contribution of Artevans in the battle against the Necromancy, and without him, I am afraid that by the time the Eye of the Dead descended on the sky over Dimor, the demons would have perished."

"I'm not against that, but I'm worried about whether Artevans has the ability to rule the demons." Dvoga took a step forward and said. His concerns were legitimate, and as Artevans had predicted, the things needed to be a hero and a ruler were completely different.

"I know your concerns, so I will assist Artvance in governing the demons, and from now on, there will be no more barriers between the demon king and the black temple. The Black Hall will become the direct organization of the Demon King. And if that's not enough, then let's talk about identity, Artfans? Black? Berans' name, and who is Caila? Ace? The heir of Berans, I don't know if this identity is enough."

Since the situation of the Notis Sanctuary would be transmitted to the entire Hell, the entire demon clan heard Kaina's words.

When Kaina told the bloodline of Atvance, not only Devoga, but also the entire civilian population of the demon clan were surprised. It turns out that this hero who has saved the demons several times is the owner of Berans's family name and a descendant of the Dark Pope.

The demons attach great importance to bloodline and identity, Artevans, with his name, may seem a little ridiculous in any other race, but in the demons, this is enough to make him the new demon king.

As for whether Artevans has the ability to become a demon king, Kaina also said that she will help him govern the demon race, and the power of the "Black Temple" will also be used, which also dispelled Dvoga's last concerns.

"In order to prove that the barrier between the Demon King and the Black Temple has been eliminated, the Temple of Notis will become the residence of the new Demon King, and here, the new Demon King Palace, and that throne will be the new Demon King's Throne." Kaina said, gesturing to the ornate yet majestic throne behind her.

In this way, Artevans succeeded in becoming the Demon King without being questioned by anyone with Kaina's words and his natural bloodline. The moment he sat on the throne of the Temple of Notis, he would never forget it.

Atfans sat on his throne, looked at the people bowing down in front of him, and then looked at the solemn and magnificent temple, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

(Demon King Atvance, I will make this name resound throughout Ostia.) ）
