After recovering the control of his body, Yale went to the place where the lizardmen were gathered, and there he saw the shocking scene of all the lizardmen kneeling in front of him.
"We are all glad to become the subordinates of the Demon Lord. We will obey any order without hesitation."
All the lizardmen spoke simultaneously like if they had planned it beforehand.
The powerful aura leaking from Yale before due to the resonance had scared them to the point that they decided that turning into the subordinates of the Demon Lord was the only option to cease the fury of the mighty being hidden nearby without losing their lives.
Although Yale didn't expect that kind of situation, he didn't reject the intentions of the lizardmen because they knew the area very well and would be useful as subordinates. Moreover, they were so scared of Yale's background that they couldn't even think of betraying him.
After that, Yale released the Shirk's group that had been waiting on the Storage Space until Yale confirmed the situation.
Except for Wyba who was focused on the sweets the lizardmen prepared for her, the rest were wondering why the lizardmen started to treat them with so much respect to the point that the lizardmen seemed their servants.
It wasn't that they mistreated them before, but they were treated only as important guests. Especially they seemed to be taking special care of Wyba, which the group thought that it was as a compensation for the problem the previous night.
However, the truth was that since they know how important was Wyba to Yale and she was easier to please than the former, they focused on making her happy to make Yale happy.
After all, they all knew that Yale was the leader and that he wasn't a simple as he seemed since he advanced many levels in one night. Normally speaking, that was impossible even with enlightenment at high ranks, so they guessed another possibility.
The possibility that Yale had been hiding his strength from the beginning and he was far more powerful than he seemed on the outside.

Moreover, since the lizardman chief, who was at the Sage Rank, wasn't able to notice anything, everyone thought that Yale was a Law Master in disguise or that he was near to become one.
That day Yale obtained information that wasn't in the books from the lizardman chief. It was classified information that shouldn't be disclosed to others, but the tribe had already decided not to hide anything from Yale.
"Dragon Race? Are you speaking about true dragons?"
Strictly speaking, the dragons were still a kind of beast although their number of types of divine beasts was far superior to that of wolves and lions, and they seemed to dislike being considered beasts.
Moreover, they were quite prideful even among divine beasts which made them existences that one would want to avoid interacting with because winning an argument was almost impossible due to their stubbornness.
"They aren't true dragons. They are similar to us, but they possess some dragon bloodline, so their potential is higher than ours. However, I heard that they have a true divine dragon as a backer, but I am not sure if that is true."
That dragon race was the one who cursed the lizardmen. Since both races may seem a bit similar at first sight, there had been a lot of struggles between them to show who was superior and the lizardmen tribe needed paying for it after continuing acting like that after they lost most of their power.
Of course, the Lizardman God Cult were the ones who had sought battle to show that they were superior disregarding their current status.
After hearing that part of the story from the lizardman chief, Yale couldn't avoid but comment.
"Attacking a group of people with dragon bloodline after having been weakened, you really deserved to be punished by them."
Yale didn't know anything about that Dragon Race, but he felt that their actions were still mild given that even though their old enemies had turned weaklings and such enemies had even dared to start another conflict with them.
Usually, it wouldn't have been any strange if the lizardmen had been wiped out.
"We indeed deserved it."
The lizardman chief didn't try to defend their past actions because he was the first who knew that it hadn't been a wise decision, but at that time he wasn't the chief, nor he held the authority to say anything about that matter.
"Since the tribe of the Dragon Race isn't far, I want to take a look. You shall guide me there."
The forest of the lizardmen was surrounded by territory of the Dragon Race, so they didn't have any chance to expand their territory, and they should already thank the Dragon Race to not care about their forest.
The Dragon Race didn't need too many terrains because their fertility rates were extremely low, so their numbers weren't too much higher than those of the lizardmen tribe, but overall, they were far stronger.
"Going there, but... wouldn't they try to make the things difficult to us?"
The lizardman chief didn't dare to be in contact with the Dragon Race after the punishment they received from them.
"I feel that you have a wrong impression of them. Anyway, do you really feel that they can make things difficult for me and end unscathed?"
Yale felt that the actions of the Dragon Race were too strange if he believed the whole story of the lizardman chief about lizardmen and Dragon Race being enemies and he felt that there was a big misunderstanding there probably provoked by the Lizardman God Cult.
At that moment, the lizardman chief remembered the mighty aura he had felt that same day and then shook his head.
"Of course not. There is no way they dare to harm the Demon Lord."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter remembering Yale's shocking background, the lizardman chief didn't dare to think that someone could take advantage of him easily.
Moreover, even though the lizardman chief didn't know if the Dragon would be affected by the title of the Demon Lord despite having dragon bloodline, if there was really a divine dragon in their tribe, it should care about it.
"Then, why are you hesitating about this matter. Bring some of your subordinates with you, and we will depart immediately."
Yale didn't feel like arguing about that topic and since he was considered the boss, he just needed to give orders; asking for the opinion of the lizardman chief was useless. Moreover, the lizardman chief had already shown a lack of discerning eye for having such an evil wife that was able to harm the interest of the whole tribe for her desires of superiority.
While Yale was gathering the members of his group and the lizardman chief arranging some of his best subordinates to guide Yale's group to the place where the Dragon Race lived, in another place of the continent a pair of lovers were hugging each other while a woman was looking at them.
"You two, remember that until both of you became Essence Gods, you can't marry nor act like a married couple, so don't try anything when I am not looking at you."
The rules in the woman's family were too strict, and since her little sister was still a Law God, she couldn't marry even though her boyfriend already obtained enough power to have the qualifications to marry her.
That rule was the main reason why the woman never dared to let those two alone for fear that they wouldn't be able to resist and decided to break the rules.
The couple didn't reply to her words, but she knew that they wouldn't try anything as long as they were in the reach of her teleportation.
After speaking, the woman teleported because she was looking for the help of a certain sea monster who was a Law Master and had control over the Space Law.
"From now on, you will obey me. If you do your work well, I will give you some benefits; if not, you are dead meat. This is how it works, your decision?"
The woman spoke directly at the moment she appeared before the sea monster, but he aura was strong enough to make the monster surrender instantaneously.
"Go and find this group, you need to make a bit of trouble for them, but you can't kill them."
The woman sent images of Yale's group to the sea monster, and then it left to look for them. Given the power of that woman as an Essence God, checking all the continent with her Spiritual Sense wasn't hard at all, so she transmitted the appearance of Yale and his group to the sea monster without problems.
Of course, even she wasn't able to know about the people who hadn't left the Storage Space since she had reached that world.
"You are still the son of the best friend of my father, the master of my future brother-in-law, and someone with a piece of the legacy, so we can be considered allies, but you are still too weak. Take this as a chance to hone yourself and recover your previous power. You have already wasted too much time playing."
