Unrivaled Demon's Odyssey

Emilia was sleeping on a luxury bed of a magnificent castle. 

It was morning, and the sunlight was brimming on her face from the open window.

She jerked her brows and opened her eyes.

She sat up and muttered, "Why is it morning already?"

She got off the bed and conjured clothes around her body before leaving the room.

She walked through the hallway but couldn't see anyone.

"Where did everyone go?" She wondered.

After walking for a while, she stumbled upon a little boy with blonde hair, who looked to be two years old, and he was crawling on all four.

Emilia hurried over to the boy and picked him up in her arms.

The boy looked surprised at first, but after seeing Emilia, the boy calmed down.

"Where is your mother?" Emilia asked.

The boy pointed his finger further into the half.

After walking for a while, Asteria came rushing in and asked, "Lady Emilia, Have you seen—"

SIGH!

Asteria sighed in relief after seeing the kid and said, "I was breastfeeding my daughter, and he slipped away.

Emilia handed the boy to Asteria and said, "That's our everyday life now."

Asteria and Emilia walked together and entered another hallway.

"Where is Leto? You two are always together," Emilia asked curiously.

"She is in the dining room with Zeus," Asteria answered.

"Oh! Right. It was her turn last night." 

"Yeah," Asteria nodded.

"Isn't it exciting for you?" Emilia asked with a grin. "Like her kids are also your siblings. And your kids are Leto's grandchildren. But they are of the same age."

After a brief pause, Emilia asked, "So who was handling Leto's kids if it was her turn last night?"

"I was going to take care of them, but Elise insisted she wanted to do that. She said, 'I am pregnant, so I will have some practice on how to handle kids'."

Emilia raised her brows and asked, "But… doesn't Elise sleep with Sophia since Elise is close to giving birth?"

"Yes."

"So… what about Sophia's kids?"

Asteria didn't answer and kept walking.

"Asteria?"

Asteria shrugged and replied, "They are with your kids."

"You have got to be kidding me!"

Emilia immediately dashed and entered the room located at the end of the hallway.

However, she was surprised to see it was empty.

Asteria stopped behind Emilia and uttered, "They are also with Sophia."

"And where is that bitch?!"

"Whoa! Language."

Nero appeared out of nowhere and smacked on Emilia's head.

"But she has my kids… our kids," Emilia retorted.

"So?"

"She will take them away from me."

Nero squinted his eyes and uttered, "Don't you always hog her kids whenever you see them?"

"It's okay if I do that." Emilia asserted and continued, "I am the queen of your harem, so naturally, I am the mother of all your kids."

Nero took a deep breath and sighed in disbelief.

He glanced at Asteria and grabbed her hand, "Let's go."

Emilia rushed to them and grabbed Nero's other hand. She hugged his arm and said, "I am ready to have another kid."

"You are already pregnant. So stop stressing yourself," Nero answered.

"And don't run. Also, don't eat too much," he added.

After walking for a few more minutes, they reached the dining room.

Sophia and Leto were setting up the table, and Elise was taking care of the kids.

When Sophia saw Emilia, she grabbed a black-haired girl and kissed her on the cheek.

"Look who is here. Your good of nothing mother, who sleeps and eats all day," Sophia remarked.

Emilia turned to Nero and pointed her finger at Sophia.

"See? This is what I was talking about."

"But she is telling the truth," Nero scoffed with a grin.

"...!"

— 

"Nooo!" Emilia woke up yelling from her sleep.

"Shut up!" 

She glanced around and sighed in relief.

"Did you have a nightmare?" Sophia asked.

Sophia was patting the girl on her lap and looking outside of the window of the hut.

"Uh… I don't know if I should call it a nightmare or not." Emilia answered. "It was a happy dream, but it turned into a nightmare."

"Not that you have woken up…" Sophia grabbed a black-haired newborn girl from her lap and handed her to Emilia.

"I am tired. You take care of her."

"Where are the other girls and Nero?" Emilia asked as he placed the girl on her lap.

"Nero went to talk to the mayor of the village, to rent a mansion for us."

"Yeah." Emilia nodded. "It's hard to sleep on the mattress."

"Also, the mayor's daughter called Nero to have some talk with her father," Sophia added.

Emilia's face twitched as she said, "I hate her."

"Oh? I quite like her."

"..." Emilia raised her brows and said, "But just yesterday, you said you hated her."

"Yes. I hated her." Sophia scoffed. "But if there is a girl you hate, then I must be friends with her so that I can annoy the hell out of you."

"Do you hate me that much?" Emilia asked curiously.

"Of course."

Suddenly, the door of the hut opened, and Nero walked in. His left eye was covered with an eye patch, and he was wearing a pendant on his neck.

"Emilia is awake; nice." Nero sighed and said, "Let's go."

"Did you rent the mansion?!" Sophia exclaimed.

"Uhh… no."

"You didn't?!" Emilia exclaimed. "Nuu! I don't want to sleep on the ground with a mattress."

"I bought the entire village," Nero asserted nonchalantly.

"What?!" Sophia and Emilia exclaimed.

"Stop yelling. The kid will wake up."

"Where are the other girls?" Sophia asked with a curious look on her face.

"They are already at the mansion. They said, 'We will get the best room before Emilia or Sophia does.',"Nero answered.

Emilia and Sophia got up and walked out of the hut.

"Slow down. I was kidding."

They both slowed down.

"I wasn't kidding."

They started walking hastily.

Suddenly, they were covered by a shadow that looked like wings.

Nero, Emilia, and Sophia looked up to see a male angel with silver hair— looking down at them.

Nero gritted his teeth as his form changed. The eye patch disappeared, and his eye revealed a dark Abyss. Three stripes covered the left side of Nero's face, and a horn sprouted from the right side of his forehead.

He clenched his fists and muttered with pure rage in his voice: "Lucifer."

"I have come to retrieve my daughter."
