The demon ancestor, however, just shook his head.

"My apologies; you can continue."

Azaroth bowed his head a bit.

\'Hmmm….\'

Alex, unaware of what was going on throughout the world just because of his becoming the demon lord, also shrugged and turned back to look at the giant wooden door in front of him.

\'If I can\'t push through with my legendary stats, then what about this?\'

Alex grinned as he activated his incubus bloodline and human bloodline together.

This time, however, unlike before, he activated the Celestial Incubus bloodline first, and then he activated the supreme human one.

*Shiver*

The demons, however, had a shiver run down their spines when they felt the purity of the incubus bloodline.

Yes, it wasn\'t the first time they felt it, but it was the first time they felt it without trying to resist it.

They could feel their bodies getting weak and wanting to kneel. Their minds told them to kneel as well, but they stood straight.

It was not the right time, after all.

All of them could see the wide grin on Alex\'s face, and they grew curious as to what Alex was going to do.

The doors required a machine to open them, and if someone wanted to open the gate manually, they needed to have mythical-ranked stats.

It was unfair, sure.

Who would expect a newly summoned demon lord, who is supposed to be very weak, to open the door manually?

But it is what it is.

This is the demon empire; things here are always unreasonable.

The only way to survive here is to have strength or authority.

Alex didn\'t have authority yet; he wasn\'t crowned to be the demon lord yet.

As for strength, the demon empire would know soon enough.

\'Let\'s see what he does.\'

They were looking forward to how he was going to overcome his first hurdle.

They knew he was strong—way stronger than he was supposed to be—and the battle they had was still fresh in their minds.

They knew that he could open the door, but they wanted to see him do it.

Striking someone with the force of a mythical ranker and softly applying the same force to a door, trying to open it, were both different things.

If Alex punched the wooden door with his full power, then it would shatter, and although that would be enough to shut the demons inside while proving his strength, it wouldn\'t be the right way.

Right now, they are waiting for Alex to make a move.

Would he just smash the door, shattering it into pieces?

Or would he do something else?

That was the question.

As the demon generals resisted their urge to kneel, they saw Alex lifting his right palm up again.

This time, however, things were a lot different.

Alex\'s palm was covered with thick demonic energy and blue-colored mana.

The demons couldn\'t see it, but they could somehow tell that Alex\'s arm was stronger than before.

That arm gave them the same feeling as Alex in his incubus transformation.

"Partial transformation."

Azaroth nodded his head as he revealed what Alex had done—muttering out loud.

The demon generals could tell that as well.

But just as they thought this was it, they saw a black, jelly-like substance start covering Alex\'s hands over the white gloves he was wearing.

They were confused for a second before they recalled the moment when Alex had summoned Varethian, his weapon.

\'Sigh….\'

All of them sighed in amazement.

No matter how many times they see it, they will still be amazed by it.

The weapon screamed of uniqueness.

They saw it as the Varethian transformed into a glove before they heard Alex mutter in a low tone.

"Let\'s see now."

With those words, Alex placed his hands on the wooden door.

*Tap*

The hallway was silent, and for some unknown reason, even the throne room across the door seemed silent.

The hushed atmosphere made it possible for even the sound of Alex\'s palm touching the door to resound in the hallway.

*Creak*

Alex pushed a bit, applying some force, and the door creaked, showing signs of moving.

Alex\'s grin widened, and so did Luna and the demons.

Alex turned to look at Azaroth with a grin, and the demon ancestor grinned back with a nod.

As if it were a signal, Alex lifted his left palm, placing it on the other door, and the same thing happened.

It got covered in demonic energy, pure blue mana, and Varethian.

Alex pushed the door open with a wide grin still plastered on his face.

Luna, who was now standing a meter away from Alex, also smiled at it.

She knew politics more than Alex, so she knew what was going on, and she also knew that the step Alex took was the best in the given situation.

*Creak**Rumble*

The doors creaked and rumbled, but given their age and weight, it was only natural, yet they heard no sound from the inside.

No cheers or howls from the demons inside the throne room caused the demon generals and the demon ancestor to frown.

Even Nyx, who was not feeling very loyal to Alex, frowned.

This was not normal.

The demons are never so quiet.

They were the type of race that would start shouting for every little thing.

\'Why is it so quiet?\'

All five of them hurriedly spread their mana, trying to sense what was happening, until they saw what was happening.

\'Ah…\'

Their frowns relaxed as they realized what was happening; a smile automatically formed on their faces, all of them except Nyx.

But no one could tell since he, unlike the others, was not wearing a suit or something like that.

Nyx was wearing his assassin dress, and he was going to disappear as soon as they entered the throne room.

His role was never to be seen and to protect the demon lord from within the shadows.

No matter how unwilling he was, he still followed his role.

Alex, who always had his perception active, didn\'t try anything.

He already knew the reason for the pin-drop silence.

*Creak* X2

Both of the doors creaked until they reached the wall, and then...

*Boom* X2

With a boom, they stopped, finally letting Alex and the demons get a clear picture of the inside.

The hall in the throne room was huge—so huge that it could be used to accommodate thousands of people inside.

There was a majestic, yet ominous black throne situated on an elevated platform at the end of the throne room for the demon lord.

The throne was colored black, but it seemed to be made of bones.

The seat of the throne was covered with soft, spotted fur; it looked much like the fur of a cheetah.

There were four more thrones situated a step below the large throne, probably for the generals, also known as the archdukes of the demon empire.

There were not many decorations in the throne room, only some chandeliers that brightened the hall and a large carpet that covered the hall completely.

Alex\'s eyes scanned the whole throne room as he walked inside.

Luna was now back in his arm as he strolled toward the throne.

Luna, although happy, was still shocked by the spectacle she was looking at, but she knew the reason for it as well.

The three demon lords nodded their heads in appreciation, and so did the demon ancestor.

\'This is the attitude our lord should have.\'

All of them had the same thought.

Nyx, who wasn\'t sharing their thoughts, was already invisible, moving behind Alex\'s throne.

Although he didn\'t like Alex, the demon empire was another thing.

His loyalty to the demon empire was still the same, so he did his job as the demon lord\'s shadow without raising a question.

*Step**Step*

Alex, oblivious to others\' thoughts and Nyx\'s internal struggle, walked straight to the throne. Luna, still in his arm, observed the surroundings with a light smile.

It was not until Alex reached the throne that Luna moved away.

Alex, however, didn\'t let her move away.

"Stay."

Alex purred before he sat on the throne, and with a graceful movement, he pulled Luna onto his lap.

Luna was too stunned to speak, but just as the situation finally sank into her mind, her face turned red and her eyes were teary, but she controlled her urge to cry.

She knew how important this moment was and what kind of impact her face could have, so she put up a cold expression, matching that of Alex.

"Rise."

Alex let out a low hum, but it resounded throughout the hall.

*Shiver*

The depth and majesty of his voice sent shivers down everyone\'s spines.

The hundreds of demons that were kneeling on the ground even before Alex had entered the hall, stood up with a fearful, yet respectful expression.

They were awed by Alex\'s grandeur; even Luna was.

She didn\'t know that Alex could be this dignified as well.

\'I guess he was born with it…\'

In the end, Luna just sighed, still maintaining her expression and trying to match Alex\'s.
