With these questions in mind, Theresa continued to listen to Demoness Medusa.
Demoness Medusa said, "Legend has it that in the last moments of the Crimson Queen's life, she left behind a prophecy thousands of years in the future. She said that although the first war to conquer the glorious human world failed, it was only because the time was not right. She also said that she would separate the Bloody Battle Demon World and the glorious human world so that the people of the Emerald Continent could enjoy a short period of sunshine. After losing the threat of the demons, the people of the Emerald Continent would be devoured by their own ambition, greed, and laziness. They would gradually forget their past glory and kill each other, drowning in the double vortex of power and arrogance.
"Finally, on this day thousands of years later, a new Crimson Queen would be born in the Bloody Battle Demon World. She would complete the hegemony that had not been done for thousands of years and unite the Demon World and the human world with an unstoppable momentum!"
"How ridiculous."
Dragon Lady Hera scowled. "What 'Crimson Queen's prophecy'? It's all nonsense!"
"Is that so?"
This Demoness Medusa was quite eloquent. She immediately retorted, "You people who live under the sun always put all the dark and evil things on us demons. However, it has been thousands of years since the so-called 'Immemorial Demonic Calamity'. In these thousands of years, the demons have never attacked the glorious human world on a large scale. Let me ask you, did the flames of war on the Emerald Continent stop burning?"
"This …"
Dragon Lady Hera was speechless.
"You are a dragon."
Demoness Medusa carefully sized up Dragon Lady Hera and showed a smug smile. She said, "You just said that the dragons suffered heavy losses in the Immemorial Demonic Calamity and were forced to migrate to Dragon Scale Island in the depths of the Ocean of Storms to recuperate. I'm afraid that's not the truth, right?
"Everyone knows that the dragons showed too much strength during the Immemorial Demonic Calamity and the fierce battle with the demons. The humans were deeply afraid of them. In the end, right after the Immemorial Demonic Calamity ended, the humans burned the bridge after crossing the river and killed the donkey after the donkey had left the millstone. Taking advantage of the fact that the dragons were at their weakest, they drove you to the depths of the ocean that surges all year round. Tsk tsk tsk tsk. Now, you still think of the demons as your greatest enemy?"
"You!"
Hera's sore spot was poked, and she couldn't refute it for a moment, so she decided to start another battle. "Isn't your Bloody War Demon World constantly at war all year round, with all the demons killing each other?"
"That's right. This is something that the Crimson Empress had foreseen long ago."
"That's why she left behind an entire 'crimson palace'. It stores ancient magic and magic devices, as well as the hope that will unite us and control the stars!" "That's why she left behind an entire crimson palace.
Dragon Lady Hera still wanted to say something, but Blackjack waved his hand to stop her.
"Alright, the legend of the Scarlet Empress is indeed very interesting."
Blackjack looked at Medusa and said, "But how can you be sure that the legend is true and not just a rumor? You have to know that there are at least eight thousand, if not ten thousand, legends like 'Immemorial Legacies, Secret Treasures of Gods and Demons' on the Emerald Continent. To start a full-scale civil war in the Demon World for an illusory legend, even someone as ambitious as Kuba wouldn't be so careless, right? "
"That's right. Although the Crimson Empress' palace and prophecies have been circulating in the Bloody War Demon World for thousands of years, because it was too bizarre and distant, not many people took it seriously. But this time, it's different. This time, we have irrefutable evidence."
Medusa said, "In the past three to five years, small-scale earthquakes have frequently occurred in the Bloody War Demon World. Although the damage caused is not too serious, it's becoming more and more frequent, and the range of the impact is also becoming larger and larger.
"The Bloody Battle Demon World is a sealed space with walls on all sides. If the earthquake continues like this, it is very likely that it will cause the entire Demon World to collapse, causing people to panic. Many demons are worried about the arrival of doomsday.
"However, while the earthquake was a disaster, it also brought hope. Many power furnaces that had been sealed for a long time were somehow reignited during the earthquake, generating abundant and stable spiritual energy. A lot of secret arsenals were automatically activated during the earthquake, too. Great Monarch Kuba benefited from the arsenals, which was why he was able to arm the army of the Prison Exterminators to the teeth.
"At this time, the Great Elder of the Turin Clan received a revelation in the intense earthquakes, and he seemed to have found unquestionable evidence. He mobilized the strength of the entire Turin Clan to search for the new Crimson Empress and excavate the Crimson Palace together.
"The Great Elder of the Turin Clan has always been the wisest person in the Bloody War Demon World. He also has a lot of secrets and classics from the primordial times. It is impossible for him to be confused by groundless legends. Besides, we don't have a choice right now. Kuba is at our doorstep, and the Crimson Palace is our last hope. Only the new Crimson Empress can compete with Kuba!"
"That explains a lot …" Black Jack was deep in thought.
"Wait. I have a question," Hera said.
"Hasn't the Bloody War Demon World always followed the law of the jungle, and the winner is the king? If Kuba is so strong, why doesn't the Great Elder of the Turin Clan surrender to Kuba directly and offer the so-called 'Crimson Palace' to Kuba so that he can get the heritage of the Crimson Empress? Why does he have to fight Kuba with his life?"
Medusa seemed to be smiling, which made her look very weird.
"Did you not hear me clearly, my wise dragon lady?"
Medusa said, "It's because the Great Elder of the Turin Clan is looking for the new Crimson Empress, the 'Empress'!
"Legend has it that only a woman can pass the trial of the Crimson Palace and inherit Demoness Kelly's legacy. As for a man, no matter how great his talents and demonic arts are, it is impossible for him to become the new Crimson Empress. That is why Great Monarch Kuba never had a chance from the very beginning. No wonder he was so furious and wanted to destroy everything before the new empress was born."
"There's … such a thing?"
Hera had an expression of disbelief.
However, the world of magic was full of mysteries. Even the bloodline of the dragon race had many strange rules and taboos. "Only women can inherit a certain bloodline" was not too strange.
Theresa listened from the back of the crowd, and her mind was enlightened. She connected Kuba's ambition, the ancient black magic book, and the evil experiment that he had asked 'Slime' Eric to do like a pearl necklace.
She seemed to know why Kuba was researching the evil black magic that could change men and women.
