Chapter 1634 – 1634. God’S Atlantis
“First, the dancers. Hand over the dancers of the Desert Forest to me.”
There can be no such thing as ‘there are no dancers.’
In this desert where entertainment is extremely scarce, dancers are indispensable. Since the Desert Forest is also a desert region, there will surely be dancers.
“Of course, the dancers must be elves.”
Helian’s expression hardened.
“Heavenly Demon Lord, we do not engage in human sacrifice.”
“Who said anything about human sacrifice? I said hand over the dancers. I will not kill the dancers. After a year, I will give the dancers who have worked under me the right to return to their hometowns.”
“Can you swear on that?”
“As much as you like.”
I grinned.
I said I would give them the right, not that I would send them back. The dancers would choose whether to stay with me or return to their hometowns of their own free will.
‘Just treat them well. Give them a lot of money, provide them with food… and give them some power.’
The social status of dancers is higher than that of prostitutes or commoners, but lower than that of warriors. If they get a real taste of power, the thought of returning to their hometowns will disappear completely.
“What is your second condition?”
“So, you’ve decided to send the dancers? Do you even have the authority to do that?”
“The final decision rests with Lord Callas, but we can send about ten dancers.”
“The second is territory.”
“Pardon?”
Helian narrowed her brows. She didn’t seem to understand. I understand. This isn’t the central continent, so the concept of territory is unfamiliar.
“…Are you asking for a portion of the land within the district? That is impossible.”
“My words were wrong. I’m just used to the word territory. There must be desert areas that are not part of the alliance. I will attack those guys. I want to be recognized for my rule over them, and I want the allies to not interfere with my conquest activities.”
There must be many areas that are not part of the alliance. There’s no need to step forward when desperate guys like the Desert Forest will be the first to fight the owners of the oasis. In return, they offer human sacrifices. Offering humans to a god. Since this is a world where gods exist, human sacrifice, though rare, is not heavily criticized. For a powerful person like me, offering a few women is not difficult. As Enas said in the past, offering old, useless women is also an option.
“That is a request that exceeds my authority. We need the opinions of not only Lord Callas but also the other allies. It will take a long time to get an answer.”
“You are the one proposing and leading the alliance. Get the answer yourself.”
“If the alliance does not accept the Heavenly Demon Lord’s proposal, what will you do?”
“Of course, I’ll do whatever I feel like.”
“……”
“You brought the space teleportation scroll, right? Bring the answer within two days.”
I wanted to go directly and get the answer, but there was no way the other side would allow it. In this desert region, the rulers of the districts have power no different from that of a king of a country. If I moved recklessly, it would immediately lead to war.
“I will take my leave now.”
They left the palace and used the space teleportation scroll.
I called the maids again and relaxed while drinking. Enas cautiously approached me.
“Heavenly Demon Lord, are you planning to expand your territory?”
She asked directly. She had overheard the conversation outside. It was something I had tacitly allowed.
“I was originally planning to do that. I just wasn’t doing it because I was worried about the other districts.”
The Heavenly Demon Church is not invincible. The desert region is vast. As vast as it is, there is potential.
‘If I recklessly invade other districts and start a war… other districts might stab me in the back.’
I’ve experienced war in the Baekhwan world. I can figure this out with just a little thought.
‘In the worst case, I could become a common enemy.’
It was something that could lead to the destruction of the Heavenly Demon Church. So, I was quietly building up my strength while staying as quiet as possible.
‘But thanks to the owner of the oasis or whatever, the board has been shaken.’
From now on, the desert will be divided into two. Those who have joined the alliance and those who have not. The alliance will be annoyed by the non-allied who are trying to get a free ride. And among them, there will be guys like me who are aiming for the non-allied districts.
“Enas, a war will break out. Prepare for war.”
“The Heavenly Demon Church is always prepared. If the Heavenly Demon Lord commands, the warriors of the Heavenly Demon Church will charge towards the enemies.”
“That’s reassuring. Now then… suck my dick.”
“Yes, Heavenly Demon Lord.”
Enas’s fellatio skills were improving day by day.

The envoy of the Desert Forest, Helian, from District 5,140, came the next day.
“Lord Callas welcomed the Heavenly Demon Lord’s joining the alliance.”
“So, my conditions have been accepted.”
I looked behind Helian. Behind her were ten women. Dressed in black, they took off their clothes as soon as they made eye contact with me. The black cloth slid down their smooth, tanned skin.
I swallowed hard as I saw the dancers in their revealing, flowing clothes. As expected of elves, they were all beautiful. Their breasts and vaginas were vaguely visible. Their pubic areas were also tanned and smooth, without a single hair. It seemed they were thoroughly managed.
“However, there is a condition.”
“W-What condition?”
My eyes were fixed on the dancers, and I stammered as I asked.
“The dispatch of an embassy. We wish to dispatch embassies to each other’s districts. If the Heavenly Demon Lord allows it, I will stay in this district as an ambassador.”
“Really? Enas, dispatch an embassy to the Desert Forest.”
“Yes, Heavenly Demon Lord.”
With the brown-skinned elf dancers in front of me, who cares about an embassy?
Right now, I was seeing the future.
A future where the elf dancers and the existing dancers would have a sexy dance battle!
‘That’s amazing.’
My mouth was watering. I wanted to run to the banquet hall with the dancers right away.
But Helian’s business was not yet finished.
Helian took out a wooden board. The wooden board, which emitted a strange energy, caught my eye.
“What is that? It doesn’t seem like an ordinary object.”
“It is the oath ledger. It is made from the sacred tree of the Desert Forest. It will be the source and proof of the desert alliance.”
I received the ledger.
「Oath Ledger
Write your name on the ledger and swear by smearing blood on it.
You will suffer penalties if you break the oath.
Rank: A」
An item of Rank A. It was definitely not a light object.
“What kind of penalties will I receive if I break the oath?”
“I don’t know for sure, but you will receive a terrible curse.”
A curse of Rank A.
Sounds doable?
In the worst case, even if I died, I had complete recovery. And in this world, there were naturally items that could block or dispel curses. The problem was that they were rarer and more valuable than the items that cast curses.
I wrote my name on the ledger.
I wrote Heavenly Demon. Smoke came out of the ledger, and the name was erased.
Helian opened her mouth when she saw that.
“Heavenly Demon Lord, you must write your true name.”
“My true name is Heavenly Demon.”
“But…”
No matter what Helian said, I wrote my name again.
The same Heavenly Demon as before. But unlike before, I used Deception (SS). And as I expected, the ledger did not erase the name.
“How… was Heavenly Demon your real name? No, when you wrote it like that before, the ledger reacted…”
Helian’s face was full of confusion.
It’s Deception of SS rank. There was no way a ledger that was only Rank A could resist it.
“I am the Heavenly Demon.”
Helian’s mouth twitched. She seemed to have something to say, but she closed her mouth. She was a smart woman.
Now it was time to smear blood on the ledger. I tore my palm with a knife. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. More blood came out than I expected. I pressed my bloody palm firmly on the ledger.
“Heavenly Demon Lord! I will bring a potion!”
“It’s not necessary.”
I looked down at my palm. The bleeding had already stopped, and the wound was regenerating so quickly that it was visible to the naked eye.

“The alliance is now established.”
I threw the ledger to Helian. Helian received the ledger with both hands and bowed her head.
“Yes, I have confirmed it.”
“Looking at the ledger, there are only four places in the alliance, including me. Is this okay?”
“Three more rulers will join the alliance soon.”
“Is the search for the owner of the oasis going well? Even if we form an alliance, it’s meaningless if we can’t find the location of the owner of the oasis.”
“The high-ranking shamans of the Desert Forest are doing their best. We will definitely find the owner of the oasis. We have already found out that the owner of the oasis is somewhere in the desert.”
Helian said confidently.
It is said that the power of the elf shamans of the Desert Forest, District 5,140, is very outstanding.
• • •
The period that the owner of the oasis had mentioned had passed.
Of course, I did not offer any sacrifices.
「The owner of the oasis (僞) is taking back the oasis.」
「There is no longer an oasis in the Scorpion Desert, District 5,146.」
「The owner of the oasis (僞) is showing generosity.」
「If you offer 10,000 sacrifices to the owner of the oasis (僞), the blessing of the oasis will descend upon the desert.」
The oasis had dried up.
There was not a single drop of water, not even wet sand, in the place where the oasis had been.
“10,000 sacrifices? Bullshit.”
I conspicuously gulped down bottled water.
Crack! I crushed the empty plastic water bottle and threw it behind me.
Rumble.
Dark clouds gathered. Soon, rain began to pour down from the dark clouds. The cheers of the citizens could be heard from here.
‘Yonggil Princess is doing her job properly. Enjoy yourselves to the fullest today. War will break out soon.’
