YM778.TV Chapter 268 Sister-Wife
But seeing them now, so lively and smiling together, made her reconsider her opinion of their nature. Perhaps not all demons are bad, she thought.
If they were truly as vicious and hateful toward humans as the stories said, Bella would never have accepted Aria as Aengus\'s second partner so easily.
It\'s just a first impression, she reminded herself.
They still need to be judged fairly.

Belial\'s spear, crafted with painstaking care and forged to the highest S-grade quality he could manage, vibrated with power under his firm grip. His aura swelled like crashing waves, saturating the field with a pressure that felt almost suffocating.
But Aengus remained as unmoving as a mountain, standing casually with an air of effortless superiority.
Belial\'s stats, capped well below the 15,000 mark, posed no threat to Aengus\'s immense power.
"Who do you think will win?" Sienna asked her brother, Sen, who had grown noticeably stronger since the last battle.
Sen chuckled, finding the question almost amusing.
"Haha, Isn\'t it obvious? Haven\'t you seen our Lord\'s power in battle?" he replied, laughing.
"Yes, of course. But I\'ve never seen Duke Belial fight, so I was curious," Sienna said, driving her sword into the ground as she sat to watch.
Sen settled beside her, his eyes shining with admiration. "Relax sister, this isn\'t just one of our Lord\'s clones. He\'s here in person, in the flesh. His strength must have grown to levels we can\'t even imagine."
"You\'re right, Sen. I\'m just being dumb..." Sienna muttered, her gaze flickering with a hint of unreadable sadness as she turned to the unfolding battle.
Aengus stood like an unyielding peak, radiating an aura of supreme confidence.
"Don\'t die, boy!" Belial bellowed, grinning fiercely as he launched himself forward.
His speed was blinding to everyone present, the ground trembling beneath the force of his acceleration, because of his full strength unleashed.
Yet Aengus did not move, waiting with the patience of an unshakeable giant, his eyes tracked onto Belial\'s extreme charge.
Belial\'s mental attacks were no threat to Aengus, but as a powerful Incubus with an exceptionally strong physique, he remained a formidable force. Demons typically had stats three times that of humans, and Belial\'s activated special physique further tripled those numbers, making him an unstoppable force for anyone within the same rank.
This was the core of his strength, and he wasn\'t just any Incubus—his semi-royal bloodline gave him an even greater edge.
"BOOOOM!"
With a fierce glint in his eyes, Belial drove his spear forward, aiming directly at Aengus\'s chest. He didn\'t hold back, certain that Aengus\'s overwhelming confidence and the sheen of his aura meant he could take it. In fact, Belial felt his attack might not even be enough to truly challenge his son-in-law.
It was all the power he could summon, and he poured everything into the strike.

The collision was cataclysmic, a deafening explosion erupting from the point of impact. The shockwave tore through the air, gouging the earth as it spread outwards from the center of the clash.
"Fu*k!"
The spectators were horrified as the terrifying shockwaves surged towards them, gouging the earth with their force.
Bella and Aria braced instinctively, preparing to defend others like they had done just an hour before—but surprisingly their intervention wasn\'t needed.
An invisible barrier suddenly appeared, cast in a protective circular dome, which absorbed the shockwaves before they could reach the crowd.
The demon soldiers exhaled in relief as the dome held firm, dispersing the devastating energy and sparing them from the fallout of the immense power unleashed.
Belial was thrown back by the sheer force of the collision, his own power rebounding against him. He coughed awkwardly as he got to his feet, attempting to regain his composure.
Yet, he couldn\'t fully mask the shock he felt—his son-in-law had surpassed him by an unbelievable margin in such a short amount of time. Not only that, but Belial was certain Aengus had already reached the level of a Demon Lord, and a particularly powerful one at that.
"Duke, are you alright?" Aengus asked, wearing an expression of mild guilt. He wanted to ease Belial\'s embarrassment, knowing full well that Bella would make him pay if he humiliated her father.
"I\'m fine... but you gave me quite a surprise," Belial admitted, before grinning. "And call me Father-in-law from now on. You\'re not going to start showing disrespect just because you\'re stronger than me, are you?"
"Ah, of course not," Aengus said with a chuckle. "Unless I have a wish to get the cold shoulder from your daughter."
"Haha, that\'s the spirit, my Son-in-law!" Belial laughed heartily, then his expression turned more serious. "But remember, Aengus—don\'t be too soft on women, especially if you have multiple wives. Trust me, I\'m speaking from my own experiences. If you pamper them too much, they\'ll expect it all the time. But you can\'t neglect them either," he advised with a knowing look.
Aengus was amused by the advice but nodded solemnly. "Yes, Father-in-law. I\'ll keep that in mind."
"What are you two whispering about?" Bella\'s voice cut through the air, startling her father.
"Nothing, daughter," Belial replied hastily, quickly regaining his composure. He then gave a bemused smile. "Now, why don\'t you introduce the new member of the family?"
Bella turned to Aria, noting the purity of her aura, which even surpassed Belial\'s in certain ways.
"Father, this is Aria Silvermoon," Bella said, a bit unsure. "She... well, I guess I should call her my Sister-Wife." Bella\'s words carried a hint of awkwardness as she made the introduction.
Aria stepped forward, offering a polite nod to Belial, her presence gentle yet dignified despite the situation.
"Hello, Uncle," Aria greeted politely, trying her best to suppress the awkwardness of meeting the Incubus Duke for the first time.
Belial\'s expression softened at the respectful address, clearly pleased by the gesture and the initial harmony among them.
"Very talented," he said with genuine approval. "You are truly worthy to stand as my daughter\'s equal. That makes you part of our family now." His eyes gleamed with admiration. "You\'re so beautiful—like a fairy."
There was a sincerity in his praise that surprised Bella and Aengus, and though Belial would never admit it outright, he couldn\'t help but feel that Aria\'s ethereal beauty, coupled with her strength, might even outshine his own daughter\'s.
For a moment, it was a hard realization for him to swallow, but his smile remained warm and welcoming.
Belial accepted Aria wholeheartedly, fully aware that strong men like himself often couldn\'t resist the allure of a beautiful and powerful woman.
The fact that his son-in-law, someone of such immense strength, had only a two women by his side rather than a dozen spoke volumes about Aengus\'s character and restraint.
For Belial, this was a great reassurance. It meant his daughter, Bella, was being valued and treated as an equal, not overshadowed by others. His concerns about his daughter\'s future had been eased, knowing she had a place of honor and respect in Aengus\'s life.
