After a few deaths of family members, the Fowudo Clan decided to submit. The news of every island of Islands of Kitar had submitted to Kei spreads and placed his flag on government buildings or the former ruler's home. Of course the former rulers became vessels, they would still be taking care of their individual lands as before but under watchful eyes.

The conquest of Islands of Kitar accomplished!

A week had passed since the Fowudo Clan declared their loyaties towards Kei. It was time to return back to Yogol.

A few weeks had passed since their return home.

Polin, Kori, and Kei were currently in the family room. A living room used by all family members for recreation and relaxation. They were sitting on the rug trying to teach Kori a few words.

"Okay now Kori. Say, daddy. Dadddddyyyy." Kei said towards Kori while pointing himself.

"No Kori, forget him. Mooommmy. Moooomm---my. Repeat it." Polind said, while also pointing herself and pushing Kei's face away.

Kei and Polin were having a little compeition who first to get Kori to say their name.

After a few minutes of no results, Polin pulled a bag of cherries and started to eat a few.

"Yum-yum. Say, mommy. And you can get some. See look." Polin again took a few cherries and ate them. "Mmmm~ Delicious."

"I see how it is." Then Kei pulled out a roasted chicken drumstick from his dimensional storage, and started to munch on it.

"Da! Daaa! Dadd---! Daaddy!"

"Ha ha ha ha! Good girl! Here's your treat." Kei gave the chicken leg to Kori and she began eating it.

"Cheating! Cheating!"

"Who cheating who?"

"If she gets fat, I'll blame you. Hmph!" Polin crossed her arms and turned her head away from Kei.

Kei then hugged Polin from behind. "Yeah, it will be all my fault." Polin continued to pout.

Then Kei began to feel a tingle in his head. It's a telepathy from SG Talwar.

Kei let go of Polin and said, "I will be gone for a bit. Tell the others for me, okay."

"I got it. When you're gone, Kori will forget about you and only loves me."

"Yeah, yeah." Kei then whispered into Kori' ears, "Be careful of mommy. She's evilll~~"

Polin carried Kori away from Kei and walked away. "Don't worry Kori. The evil man will be gone a few days. Only me, you, and the other mommies."

The war between the Vita Empire and the Life Church was still ongoing and near its end.

Kei flew towards the capital of Vita Empire. A once, powerful empire, with history that goes back to the beginnings of the worships of the Life Goddess. That's why their was a strong ties between the nation and religion.

Kei flew towards the center of capital. It seemed to be a plaza with a large, beautiful sculpture fountain at the center. But the surroundings were no different from the carnage when previous towns and cities were attacked by Kei or Deco Parade. Homes were destroyed, smoke were seen rising everywhere, and corpses littered the ground. But one thing that was different that he didn't witnessed before, was a line of people in chains and collars.

Kei approached a witch on the ground and commented, "There's definitely a lot of people."

At first, the witch fidgeted a bit before answering: "Yeah... They quickly surrendered and gave up." The witch scratched her head.

Kei did said to enslaved people, only the survivors. But people just outright surrendering was something that escaped his mind. Would people be willing to be slaves in the face of death? He shrugged and saw several other lines of people. They were heading outside of the capital.

Kei then walked towards the castle, that colossal building at the north side of the capital. The closer he walks, he can see piles of soldiers. Wait a minute, that one was still alived.

The dying man in a suit of armour was breathing slowly and haggardly. Kei stood over him and the dying man didn't realize someone was near. Kei saw him bleeding from his abdomen.

The dying man muttered: "Why? Why is this happening?"

Kei then moved along, striaght towards the castle, leaving the man to die.

***

Within the castle, the throne room was already a bloodbath.

The emperor's family was already taken, and him and his last remaining soldiers were gathered at the throne.

The emperor said on his throne facing death in the face, his empire was runined and the a skeleton told him someone wanted to meet him.

Then Kei showed up. Kei walked up towards the emperor until he was blocked by the emperor's men.

Kei tried to take a good look at the emperor and one word came into mind was old. With wrinkles, baldness, grey beard, big belly, and extravagant clothing. Someone told him that the emperor had many concubines and children, yet this old to continue reproducing with his young lovers.

Kei thought he would had some conversation with this emperor, like listening to his last words. Will this bloated belly, old man had anything intelligent or sincere to say?

One of the soldier, protecting their emperor, yelled: "Who are you!?"

Instead of Kei answering, SG Talwar answered: "That is our Lord!"

The enemy widen their eyes in surprised. That this person right in front of them was the leader of Deco Parade. Then their blood started to boil! This was the man who tore their home and kill innocents! Their family and friends were most likely dead!

What's unexpected happened was that the emperor laughed like no tomorrow! The emperor's men turned their head towards him and wondering what's going on with the emperor? Had he gone crazy?

"This is the demon. The one who will claim the world. Came here to gloat? Came to kill me yourself? Capture me and put on display?" The emperor asked in his own insanity.

Kei pondered a moment and said: "What's the point anymore?"

Kei saw that they had accepted death, what's their to talk about? Kei was mistaken to take him seriously. "Kill them."

SG Talwar and the undead warriors began to attack.

Then Kei began searching for the treasury and all sorts of valuables. Also, rob the kitchen.

***

Kei then head to the ballroom where all the royal family was held. Once there, there was almost a hundred people.

Once everyone took notice of the newcomer, instead of shock, they were filled with fear. Soon, an undead warrior brung the head of the emperor, now everyone began to fear their fate.

One man stood up and said: "What will happen to us?"

Kei thought for a bit. What use for this royal family? The empire was gone and there will no chance for revival.

So Kei responded: "Death. There was no use for you. Hey skeleton, why do you guys not kill them in the beginning?"

"Since you requested to speak with the emperor, we assumed there will be a use to keep the family alive."

"Oh... Just kill them."

"Wait! Wait!" A woman stood up and yelled in despair. "Please let me live! I will do anything! Be a wife, concubine, slave!" After that woman begging for her life, other women were doing the same pitch in desperation.

"Okay! I want only want slaves. Those who accept to be a slave come forward, everybody else accept your fate." With the majority became slaves and the rest dies.

Then a little girl stared at Kei and asked: "Why? Why are you doing this?" The little girl cried a little.

Why? Why Kei doing this? Was there better ways to achieve his goals? A path of lesser blood? Probably not. Would the world allow the revival of the demon race?

Before Kei can answer, a young man answered in a low whisper to her: "Because he's a demon."

"Excuse me, I think she was asking me slave." Then the young man received pain from his slave collar. Ignoring him on the floor in agony, Kei gave his answer. "Well, little girl. If taken history lessons, then you know of a war happened 20 or so years, right?"

The little girl nodded.

"Then can you tell me what happened?"

She fidgeted a bit before answering. "Isn't it because life goddess thinks demons of evil? And we kill them?"

"Yeah, but. A lot of people died. Homes burned, innocent people died, and almost driven demons into extinction. It's not so nice when something bad happened to you, isn't it?"

"..."

"But that doesn't make it right!" A young woman yelled. She continued, "There got be a better solution! We can always talk!"

"Hah! Talk! I got stones thrown at me and people refused to do business with me! What's there to talk when discrimation against demons is priority number one!"

"But!"

"I don't expect much from a spoiled princess to understand our plight. Besides, when this is done, do you think demons are redeemable in people's eyes? Rather make everyone a slave than humans and beastmen causing a revolt."

"No! Peace exists. If I become Empress, I will make sure demon will have rights or special privileges!"

Now Kei was having a headache. What is this? A second Elen?

"Yeah sure. And everyone won't shun mix-breeds and drawves stop drinking liquor. Do good work as a slave and your freedom might be granted. Take them away."

But the young woman wouldn't give up! She tried to get closer to Kei but was shocked by her collar!

She laid on the ground while her family members around eyed her with distain or mocking.

Not a unified family, huh... Or maybe she's special?

Kei waited until the people left the room, while the young woman still laying on the ground. Kei walked closer and stared at her. Kei was curious about her history or maybe she offered something in return for her freedom.

Kei think back at Yogol. It's peaceful but... Kei wanted growth. Like everyone being able to read or write, focused on the science aspects, or better ways to grow food. Kei wasn't into politics, economics, or an expert in any field. If he had access to the internet back on Earth, then he could do all sorts of things.

What if this girl had some talents or skills? Kei decided to just asked. "There's no way you will be empress of anything. But if things go well, I will make you a vessal queen or whatever down the road. Consider your words carefully, what can you do?"

After the young woman get a gripped and listened to Kei. Her mind was going chaotic, this was her chance!

She answered: "I... I studied politics, I know how taxes worked, I had some ideas to improve farming..."

She was filing in her mind on what can she offer. She assumed that Kei was a new power. A power that needed aides on how to manage his new kingdom. His military was uncompared but when it comes to managing the people or land, he might needed help. When she saw Kei had a blank stare. Was he losing interest? So, she bowed her head to the floor!

"I will be a great asset! I do everything to make your country prosperous! Please! Let me serve you!"

Kei scratched his head and thought, Wouldn't being a slave already serving me?

Nah, Kei knew what she meant. Kei really needed capable personnel after this!

"Fine, you're hired! I'll get your slave collar off later. Get up and let's go."

"Oh yeah, what's your name?" Kei asked the young woman.

"It's Lena nul Lite. Just called me Lena, since the royal family is no more."

...

"Can I ask you something my... King?"

King? Kei never thought of any title for himself. Wouldn't he be king or emperor since he now own a majority of the world?

"Just call me Kei. I'm not used to any titles yet. Ask me anything."

"What will happen to the others. Those who become slaves?"

"Work, I guess. Rebuilding some towns and cities, farming and stuff."

"That's it? How many slaves have you gained? Do you have enough to feed them? Are you planning to sell them? Where are you be housing them? Whose managing them?" Lena was bulleting these questions at Kei.

Lena was already started her 'job,' which wasn't clarified yet. But she's energetic.

Kei never thought these things through, and was too lazy to.

"Okay, first job! You will handle the slaves."

"Eh."

Kei patted her shoulder and said: "Good luck and perform well."

This was last job she wanted!
