About ten thousand years ago, when the world effect of this world was not so perfect, an unknown low-level demon accidentally came to this world through a Gate of the Abyss.
Such new worlds were born every day in the Infinite Worlds, so discovering a new world was not something new.
But as more and more demons broke into this world, it began to become chaotic.
There were actually quite a lot of worlds with Purgatory Spaces, but it was quite rare to see such a large Purgatory Space in this world. After many demons entered this place, they treated it as their new territory, lived here, and built lairs. They fought each other for territory and hunting grounds, causing this place to become chaotic.
The demons frequently traveled between the Abyss and the Purgatory Spaces here, and they quickly attracted the attention of the angels, so they began to descend frequently to this world and continue the Eternal War with the demons.
As long as Heaven was not destroyed, the angels would not stop, the Abyss would not be empty, and the demons would not stop. This was the so-called Eternal War.
Both sides treated this newly discovered world as a new battlefield and began to fight back and forth. This time point was about nine thousand years ago.
Sparda came to this world in this world. At that time, he was not a demon lord yet and was only a relatively powerful high-rank insect-type demon. After coming to this world, not only did he fight against the angels, but he also fought against his demon compatriots because of the chaos in the Demon World.
Until one day, Sparda encountered a … demon that was extremely ugly but had strange behavior!
At that time, this strange demon was standing beside an angel he had just killed. But what was strange was that he did not devour the angel's soul and tear apart its body like other demons did. Instead, this demon guarded the angel's corpse, rubbing and licking it in intoxication.
Angels with pure bloodlines would turn into light and disappear after death, but artificial angels would leave behind flesh and blood bodies. The angel in front of him was an artificial angel.
Sparda found it strange at that time, so he hid and watched secretly. Then he found that not long after, this strange and ugly demon actually tore off the angel's wings, put these two white wings on his back, and then began to skin the angel! It seemed like he wanted to wear the angel's skin on his body.
Sparda was puzzled. He could not understand this demon's behavior, so he could not help but stand up and ask.
But unexpectedly, this demon seemed to have flown into a rage out of humiliation and attacked Sparda. After fighting, Sparda discovered that this strange demon was actually very powerful and was already a demon lord. Sparda was not his match at all and was defeated by this demon.
However, after defeating him, the demon did not kill him. Instead, he let him go, but the condition was that Sparta had to obey him.
Submitting to the strong was very normal for demons, so Sparda did not think too much about it and followed behind this demon.
Needless to say, this strange demon was naturally Mundus. After subduing Sparda, Mundus brought Sparda to fight in the Demon World, attempting to unify the demons of the entire Demon World and fight against the angels.
During the battle, Mundus would not appear unless he encountered an opponent of the same level. Otherwise, he would leave it to Sparda to deal with. Mundus spent most of his time hiding behind the scenes and rarely appeared in front of his demon subordinates.
After following Mundus for a long time, Sparda discovered that Mundus seemed to have a morbid fascination with the appearance of angels. He hated his original demon form very much. After all, in Sparda's aesthetics, if it could be called ugly, then in the eyes of other demons, Mundus was equally ugly.
Even demons thought that Mundus's demon form was ugly, so it could be imagined how strange Mundus's demon form was. It could be said that Mundus was a mutated species among demons … Therefore, Sparda could understand Mundus's desire to hide his appearance. Although he felt that it was strange that this guy wanted to turn himself into an angel, Mundus was very strong. For demons, strength covered all ugliness. As long as the boss was strong enough, it was fine. As for what special hobbies he had, Sparda did not care.
In those years, although the humans of this world had already been born, they were still in a state of eating raw meat and drinking blood, so demons did not pay attention to them at all. To demons, human souls at that time were no different from animal spirits, and they could only be used as a way to replenish their food. The main opponents of demons in this world were still angels.
During the thousands of years of continuous battles, Sparda became stronger and stronger. He crossed the limit of high-rank demons, completed the promotion ritual, and became a demon lord. As for Mundus, his progress was slow. Although he was also becoming stronger, the gap between him and Sparda was shrinking as time passed.
With Sparda's help, Mundus defeated the other demon lords of the Demon World and unified the entire Demon World. But because Mundus was hiding behind the scenes most of the time, the reputation of this demon swordsman, Sparda, gradually began to overshadow Mundus among the demons.
Sparda did not feel that there was anything wrong with it at that time. He still regarded himself as Mundus's subordinate and fought for him, but Mundus became more and more anxious.
Because … Mundus's path to becoming a demon king was not very smooth.
All demon lords wanted to become demon kings, but the difficulty of demon lords promoting to demon kings was a hundred times more difficult than high-rank demons promoting to demon lords. After thousands of years, the Demon World had been unified, but Mundus's hopes of becoming a demon king were still slim.
Then one day, Mundus suddenly disappeared.
No one knew where he went. About ten years later, Mundus returned. His disappearance was not too long for demons, so Sparda and his subordinates did not find it strange. At that time, the war between demons and angels was still going on, and Mundus's demon army was still operating according to inertia, and there were no accidents.
But from the day Mundus returned after disappearing, he gradually began to become stronger and stronger.
As time passed, Mundus's magic power took a tremendous leap, far surpassing that of demon lords like Sparda and the others. His soul also began to change qualitatively.
Demon lords were called demigods, and their greatest symbol was their immortal bodies. Demon kings would go one step further, becoming immortal souls and truly undying. Mundus was transforming into this form at that time.
It could be said that once Mundus obtained the power of 'authority', he would become a true demon king and become as powerful as a god.
This was also why many demon kings were called 'demon gods' …
The powerful strength that Mundus occasionally displayed made the demons of the Demon World rejoice, including Sparda. They looked forward to Mundus becoming a true demon king and leading them to attack Heaven.
The development of things did not exceed the demons' expectations. The angels were retreating step by step, and the Eternal War in this world was about to end, and the demons would win the final victory.
But at this moment, Sparda discovered something abnormal.
As Mundus's right-hand man, Sparda had always been a frontline general, the kind who led the most troops. In the past, Sparda could often see some familiar faces in his troops. The so-called familiar faces meant that even if these demon subordinates were killed in battle, it would not be long before they returned from the Abyss and continued to join the battle.
As long as their souls were not purified and destroyed by the angels, these demons would definitely return.
But gradually, Sparda found that these familiar faces were becoming fewer and fewer.
At first, Sparda did not think too much about it. He thought that these familiar faces had been completely killed by the angels and could not return. But as time passed, he found that something was wrong. There were too many familiar faces disappearing!
With doubts in his heart, Sparda naturally wanted to investigate what was going on. As the investigation unfolded, Sparda discovered a shocking situation: the Ouroboros Marks among the demons were gradually disappearing!
Originally, something like the Ouroboros Mark was engraved in the soul the moment it passed through a Gate of the Abyss. For millions of years, demons had long become accustomed to it, and it had become instinctual. Therefore, many times, demons would never deliberately check the Ouroboros Mark in the depths of their souls.
This caused the demons to not notice the disappearance of the Ouroboros Mark in the depths of their souls. It was the same for Sparda. If he had not deliberately checked, he would not have realized that this was happening.
Losing the protection of the Ouroboros Mark was equivalent to losing the protection of the Abyss. After demons were killed, their souls could not accurately return to the Abyss. Instead, the moment they returned, they would fall into spatial turbulence and be completely erased!
After discovering this situation, Sparda was naturally very surprised, so he began to investigate the reason for the disappearance of the Ouroboros Marks. In the end, he was astonished to find that the Ouroboros Marks bestowed upon demons by the Abyss did not disappear inexplicably but because someone had gathered these Ouroboros Marks together.
This person was naturally their boss, Mundus …
Only then did Sparda understand why Mundus had become so powerful in recent years. It was because he had used some special method to gather the Ouroboros Marks belonging to thousands of demons into him! His so-called immortal soul was achieved by plundering the marks of other demons!
The furious Sparda abandoned the troops he was leading and found Mundus alone to question him. However, Mundus, who had been exposed, knew that his method of plundering the marks of other demons to achieve immortality could be said to have violated a great taboo of the Abyss. Once this matter was exposed, it was very likely that he would be attacked by other demons. Therefore, Mundus immediately began to silence Sparda, who had discovered the truth.
This time point happened to be two thousand years ago. At this time, Mundus's other subordinates had proposed to attack the human world and plunder a large number of souls. But because the angels had not been completely defeated yet, if they were distracted now, it was very likely that they would give the angels a chance to catch their breath, so Sparda rejected it.
Therefore, Mundus did not mention Sparda's questions. Instead, he framed Sparda for standing with humans and betraying his compatriots.
Two thousand years ago, at that time, the humans of this world were still in a slave society, and they were still ignorant. Only Sparda would be crazy to stand on the side of humans …
This excuse could be said to be full of flaws, but Mundus was the ruler of the Demon World at that time, and no one dared to refute his words. Just like that, Sparda became the traitor in his words, and Mundus sent the entire demon army of the Demon World to encircle and kill Sparda …
At that time, Sparda was also very fierce. Facing the demon army under Mundus, not only did he not retreat, but he even charged forward. After breaking through the demon army's defense line, he killed his way into the demon king's palace alone and found Mundus.
Mundus's strange method of becoming a demon king was not a true demon king. More importantly, Sparda also grasped Mundus's most critical weakness!
He knew Mundus's true name …
