Lustful Demon King: Summoned by the Demon Goddesses!-Chapter 151: A Surprise Encounter!

After that, Jax left Alexi to sleep in a private room and headed to his personal Throne Room to get some updates.

Jax was sitting on the throne, leaned to one side with his chin resting peacefully against his knuckles, golden eyes half-lidded in calm focus.

Standing before him was Sabrina.

The Succubus Saintess held a stack of floating crystal slates orbiting around her in perfect formation, each one glowing with dense informational sigils.

Her posture was flawless, her expression composed, yet her eyes held unmistakable admiration, the quiet kind that came from witnessing overwhelming success in the past few weeks.

"The total asset acquisition from the Merchant Coalition exceeds projections by thirty-two percent," she said smoothly.

A slate rotated forward and projected light filled the chamber.

"Material wealth alone is very significant. There’s a large amount of gold reserves, enchanted armaments, artifacts, rare resource stockpiles, and other valuable information,"

Another slate shifted as she finished that sentence, "But the true gain is infrastructural control."

Jax’s gaze sharpened slightly as he heard that, "Continue."

Sabrina inclined her head, "We now possess full authority over their transport networks, interregional trade routes and storage vault grids. We have people stationed at key points to protect all of these spaces and maintain our control, and the geographic advantages of these locations benefit us retaining this control long term,"

A faint smile touched Jax’s lips as he heard this, "And their surviving leadership?" he asked.

"Fragmented," Sabrina replied immediately, "Some fled to territories under the protection of the Goddess of Light, others are still bargaining with us trying to retain any sense of power, but none possess meaningful leverage."

Another slate shifted forward, this one glowing with a much colder, sharper light, "The external response is... more complex."

Jax straightened slightly, as this was the more interesting part to him and Sabrina’s expression also grew more serious as she began speaking, "The powers aligned with the Goddess of Light have entered coordinated alert status."

Images flickered across the air. Multiple Fortified cities, Holy Armies being mobilized and Divine Banners being raised.

"The Hero faction has increased patrol operations along all major boundary zones. Defensive sanctuaries are reinforcing barrier networks."

Jax listened to that and nodded, "Understood. Just keep an eye on them, I think they’ll figure out a plan sometime soon,"

"Yes, my King," Sabrina said, and the crystal slates dimmed, dissolving into drifting motes of light.

Sabrina bowed deeply."All primary reports have been delivered, my King."

Jax gave a small nod, "You’ve done well, though I’m sure I told you to call me Jax,"

A flicker of warmth crossed her features, brief, but real and she nodded, "Yes, I’ll be sure to keep that in mind next time,"

Then she turned gracefully and departed, her heels clicking softly against obsidian until the great doors closed behind her.

And the Throne Room returned to silence with Jax being there all alone, thinking about what happened.

For a long moment, he simply breathed. Strategy flowed through his mind like branching lightning.

The board was shifting toward open confrontation and he very much welcomed that outcome, knowing he was stronger than all of the Heroes combined, and would easily win.

His thoughts were just beginning to narrow toward next-stage initiatives when he felt something interesting brushing against his mana senses.

It was very subtle and refined, but brilliantly pure, unlike anything he’d ever sensed among the Demons.

It was a thread of power that did not belong anywhere within the Demon Capital. His eyes narrowed slowly as he recognized it as Divine Aura, inside the Capital which shouldn’t be possible.

Every defensive system woven into the capital monitored celestial signatures. Any unshielded divine presence would trigger immediate alert cascades.

Yet this presence was here, contained but here. Quietly luminous... like sunlight passing through crystal.

Jax did not call guards or raise any alarms, instead deciding to simply step forward and vanish.

The city pulsed with life beneath twilight skies. Lanterns drifted like embers across the air. Markets hummed. Demonic citizens moved in celebration and routine, unaware of anything unusual.

But Jax felt it clearly. A trail of divinity... carefully restrained moving around the City like a beacon that was calling for him.

Whoever this Divine presence was, they knew he could sense it, and was beckoning for him.

He walked through the capital as an unremarkable noble traveler, his aura folded inward, identity masked beneath layered reality distortion. To all observers, he was simply another powerful but ordinary figure.

But his senses stretched outward like invisible threads, tracking and following that aura until he finally found who he was looking for.

She stood at the edge of a high terrace overlooking one of the capital’s great plazas. Golden hair spilled down her back like liquid sunlight, each strand faintly radiant. Her form was slender yet perfectly balanced, clad in white and gold that seemed woven from living luminance.

Her skin carried the soft glow of dawn.

Her presence... was breathtakingly pure, and completely wrong for this place.

Demons passed nearby, some glancing curiously at the beautiful stranger, but none sensed the true magnitude hidden within her restrained form.

She stood very still, watching the city, its people and the overall Kingdom and Jax just approached quietly, stopping a short distance behind her.

For a moment, neither spoke. Wind moved across the terrace. Lantern light drifted between them.

Then she spoke softly, without turning, "You’ve done quite the job since we last spoke haven’t you, Mr. Demon King?"

She said, turning to look at him.

"What are you doing here Kayle?" Jax asked, recognizing her as an Avatar for the Goddess of Light, Kayle.

This Avatar had pretty much none of her power, which was why the Divine Sensors didn’t go off, as she had no power to accomplish anything and would be vaporized the second any power was sensed.

"Can’t I come to chat, it’s been quite a while since we last spoke and so much has changed," The Goddess spoke and walked off into the festival, and Jax followed her.
