Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)

In the halls of the Palace of the Ruler of Hell.

The King of Cities and King Libra were chained to the walls. The more that they looked at each other, the more unpleasant they felt.

It was all because of each other that the space between them was so small. How embarrassing! Then all of a sudden, there was a massive rumbling sound. The space in the palace also started to rumble.

The two Kings were baffled and said simultaneously: “Did you feel that?!” The King of Cities was stunned: “What just happened...? Something feels different...” They couldn't figure out an answer no matter how hard they tried, because the Palace was suppressing them. They could only feel that something was different, but they weren't sure what it was.

After an uncountable amount of time had passed with them deep in thought, the two of them suddenly spun into the air, and were thrown outside of the space with a bang.

The King of Cities and King Libra remained seated on the floor, and when they looked up, they could see a silhouette of someone small sitting on the throne...

They could tell who it was even if they were turned into ash! “It's you!” King Libra gritted his teeth. “You despicable little pest!” “It was a mistake then | didn’t kill you off back then!” They were exposing themselves...

Suddenly they felt that the atmosphere was off, and when they turned their heads, they could see a few people seated around them.

The Kings of Styx, Contemplation, the Five Offices, and Transformation... They were all here.

King Libra: “...” His face sank, and asked: “Why are all of you here? Where's the King of Judgement? And the King of Reincarnation?” At first, the three of them had some private meetings together before, but now that King Libra and the King of Cities were imprisoned, where could the King of Reincarnation have gone?” The King of Styx snorted. “So you *are* traitors!” The King of Transformation shot the both of them a look. “Turns out that you can be demoted after all.” The King of Cities was still in his first rank.

King Libra was locked up for too long and starved. When the new Order took effect, he was demoted back to the ranking of a mere ghost king.

The King of Contemplation remained quiet. But he suddenly had a sense of danger, an urge of sorts. Although he was not the same as the King of Judgement, he, too, wanted to be the head of the Ten Palaces.

Who would condescend themselves to a woman when they could be number one themselves? But looking back on it now, everything has changed. Under the new Order, true strength was the most important. He felt that the Ruler of Hell wasn't actually going after being the head of the Ten Palaces. And yet, they were still chasing after superficial fame and fortune.

The functional ranking of one in the Underworld did not equate to one’s true strength! In the “functional” ranking of the Underworld, the Emperor Prosper was the one who governs the realm. He was the true “big boss”.

And the Ruler of Hell was the leader of the Ten Palaces. And under the Ruler were judges, the top ten dark generals...

These are all regarded as “official positions”.

But in terms of strength, he was incomparable even with Pablo, who was already in the final rank.

Sure, the King of Contemplation might rank higher in terms of “functional ranking”, but Pablo was much stronger strength wise.

The thought of that made the King of Contemplation clench his fists, as he realized that the goal he was after was fundamentally wrong.

In the face of absolute strength, what was even the point of holding an official position? Everyone was going to become big bosses eventually in the future, to the likes of being high ranking kings and emperors. So what if he was the head of the Ten Palaces? He still had to bow down to someone else.

What a joke...

After realizing that, he looked at how pathetic the King of Cities and King Libra were. What an even bigger joke.

And King Libra was still asking with such a naive face: “Where is the King of Reincarnation?” Lilly raised her gaze and said stoically: “The King of Reincarnation is dead.” “He was trying to kill my father, so my father killed him instead.” The King of Transformation: “...” Um... Are you sure that it wasn’t your father who was trying to kill the King of Reincarnation instead? Even though he knew the truth, he was certainly not going to speak up about it.

The others were shocked. Blake MacNeil was just a mortal human being, how was it possible? The King of Cities retorted: “Impossible!” King Libra snorted angrily: “Your father?” When he was trying to kill Lilly before, her father wasn't even as powerful as a mere practitioner, he was just as powerful as an ant.

There was no way that he would believe that it was Blake MacNeil who killed the King of Reincarnation.

The King of Reincarnation was the strongest one out of their trio after all.

The King of Transformation sighed. “The two of you should take a look at yourselves. The Ruler of Hell has returned to the throne, and established a new Order for the Underworld. Things are not the same as they used to be anymore.” The King of Cities and King Libra were trying hard to figure out an answer before. But now, it made sense.

The King of Cities felt that he was in the early rank at first, which didn’t amount to much. But looking at the people around him, he only realized that he was one of the weakest. Even Pablo was in the final ranks... He ranked even higher than himself?! King Libra could not accept his fate, and snapped: “What?! Just a mere ghost king?! How can | be just a mere ghost king?!” What nonsense! This must be a joke! “I am *the* King of the Ninth Palace, not some mere, ordinary ghost king! Can you be serious for even one second?” Lilly raised her hand. A notebook with a dark red cover and gold embellishments appeared on her palm.

She said: “Correction, you are not King Libra, King of the Ninth Palace, anymore.” King Libra’s heart sank within his chest. “You're stripping me of my title?!” He screamed.

He was extremely angry. “Who gave you the right to do that?!”
