Three ex-husbands and a marriage

One truth

The Demon King countered the White Dragon's threats with decisive action, wordlessly channeling a renewed force along his barrier, infusing it with fiery energy. The ground below the barrier transformed into a furnace hell, serving as a searing punishment for the celestial legions. In response, Bai Longwang roared, unleashing deafening showers upon the barrier. The battleground evolved into a theater of elemental warfare, with power against pure might colliding, and their legions maneuvering like chess pieces above and below the barriers on two battlefronts.

A surge of fear clawed at my heart as the Demon King faced the full force of the dragon's deadly attack head-on, bravely blocking the poisonous tsunami that swept over the barrier. Flying by his side, I unleashed my healing energies to protect and mend him, yet a lingering apprehension weighed on me. The consequences of his defeat loomed in my thoughts, but I pushed those dire images aside, focusing on the critical task at hand.

The demons, once dominating the ground thanks to the strengthened barriers erected by the Demon King, felt the immediate effects of the White Dragon's assault. The acidic mist burned their demonic forms, and the pressure in the air intensified, causing them to cower in pain. The once-victorious legions now found themselves momentarily incapacitated, creating a vulnerability that the celestial army eagerly seized upon.

Empowered by the opening created by the Demon King's momentary weakness, the celestial forces pressed forward with renewed vigor. The tides of battle shifted as the celestial legions took advantage of the demons' temporary incapacitation. The once-unassailable barrier of the Demon King wavered, and the celestial army gained the upper hand.

Flying between the realms of power and chaos, I spread my healing powers across the barriers, mending the demons and their king. The wounded Demon King, slowly rising from the acidic onslaught, locked eyes with me. There was an intensity in his gaze that transcended the chaos of the battlefield. I shook my head, ignoring the silent plea in his eyes. I couldn't afford to waver now; both he and the demons must emerge victorious.

His steely eyes glinted with defiance and arrogance as he turned his gaze towards the White Dragon. Flying directly towards his adversary, the Demon King passed through the barriers and hovered in front of the gigantic eyes. The harsh light of conflict bathed the battlefield as it bore witness to the challenge between these mighty beings.

"Return her to me."

"No."

"I will destroy this realm like I did so many millennia ago. Man Chiu, when will you learn? Demons can never win against the celestials," Bai Longwang sneered, his voice echoing across the battleground, a declaration of celestial supremacy.

The Demon King's response was a smirk that held the weight of millenniums of defiance. "Times change, and so do the tides of power. Celestials may have forgotten, but demons are creatures of adaptation. Your arrogance blinds you to the shifting sands of destiny."

"She is mine. You cannot keep her. She belongs with me," Bai Longwang asserted, his voice echoing with possessive fervor that reverberated through the chaotic battleground.

The Demon King scoffed, his tone laced with defiance. "You are wrong. She is her own person, making choices of her own accord. She stands here willingly, forming a partnership with demons to challenge the heavens. No matter what you do or desire, she will never belong to you. Haven't you learned that by now?"

Bai Longwang roared in frustration, a primal sound that seemed to shake the very foundations of the battlefield. "You dare defy me, Man Chiu? Demons will never triumph over celestials and you are condemned for all eternity!"

"We nearly did last time. If not for that little celestial's sacrifice, would you and your weak emperor stand a chance against the might of the demons?" the Demon King taunted, his eyes ablaze with both confidence and defiance. The celestial forces, momentarily distracted by the exchange, looked on with uncertainty.
