Chapter 252

At this moment, a strange magical power suddenly surged in the Adol Canyon. Like invisible air currents, it gushed out from the air, the earth, and all the natural environment in all directions, then surged into the depths of the canyon and gathered there.

"Woo …"

"Ow …"

At the same time, the cries of various monsters rang out one after another, echoing continuously.

However, these cries were filled with fear, sorrow, and pain. It was as if they had encountered something extremely terrifying.

Shien and Ai Yi clearly sensed this strange phenomenon, causing their expressions to change.

"This is …"

Shien's expression froze.

Because this phenomenon was exactly the same as when Shien and Rosie entered the mountain where the half-human, half-centipede monster lived.

"Tsk …" Ai Yi was speechless and said, "It seems that the ritual has begun."

Ai Yi's words attracted Shien's attention.

"Ritual?" Shien asked, "What ritual?"

Before Ai Yi could answer this question, Shien spoke in an unquestionable tone.

"I don't care about the shame or dignity of the Demons. The current situation is obviously not right. Even if you don't explain the whole story clearly, at least explain to me what this ritual is. Otherwise, if I accidentally encounter it later, don't blame me for being impulsive and reckless, okay?"

Sean's words successfully blocked the words that Ai Yi was about to say.

Ai Yi was speechless for a while, and after a while, she sighed.

"I will only say it once."

Ai Yi said.

Sean's spirit was immediately lifted, and he began to concentrate.

In such a situation, Ai Yi slowly spoke.

"First, I have to tell you something." Ai Yi said coldly, "The half-human, half-centipede monster you mentioned is not a Demons, nor a monster, but a Demon Dweller."

— — Demon Dweller.

When this word came out of Ai Yi's mouth, even Shien's heart skipped a beat.

That was because this term could not be casually applied to other existences.

"Perhaps you don't know what the meaning of a Demon Dweller is, so I will explain it to you in simple terms."

Ai Yi spoke in a calm tone.

"Because the first Demons were born under the influence of the Demon King's magic, you can regard Demons as the lower species of the Demon King, the servants of the Demon King. Just like the branches and leaves that grow out of the tree, they are loyal to the Demon King and rely on the Demon King."

"And Demons are the first existences born beside the Demon King. They are the closest to the Demon King in nature. If you compare the Demon King to a towering tree, and the Demons to branches and leaves, then Demons are probably saplings. Once they grow up, they can theoretically grow to the level of the Demon King."

"Of course, that is only in theory. The Demon King is the origin of life born from nothingness together with the Almighty Goddess. The original concept and individual is even above the world. Therefore, even Demons cannot grow into a Demon King in this world. You can understand it as the quality of the soil is not good enough, and the nutrition is not enough, so the growth of the saplings is naturally not ideal."

"But even if they can't become the Demon King, Demons are still existences above the Demons. They are between the Demon King and the Demons, and there is a huge gap between them and ordinary Demons. Even the strongest Demons at level 100 may not last more than three minutes in front of Demons."

"It is precisely because of this that Demons are very powerful. Even among the three Goddesses of the Protoss, only one is stronger than Demons, while the other two Goddesses are weaker than Demons. This is also the power gap between the Protoss and Demons at the beginning, leading to the fact that Demons have always suppressed the Protoss."

Ai Yi looked at Shien.

"Because of this reason, a thousand years ago, when the Demon King was attacked by the Heroes of the Mithra Kingdom and the possibility of resurrection was cut off by the High God, some Demons decided to find a way to cultivate a new Demon King when there was no hope of resurrecting the Demon King."

"And because Demons are the concept closest to the Demon King, even if it is only in theory, Demons who can grow into a Demon King naturally become the target of those Demons."

"But the six Demons did not want to go along with this plan and began to work on the peace between the Demons and the other two races."

"Without the assistance of Demons, those Demons were unwilling to give up, and as a result, they had an idea."

"That is to create the seventh Demon, and then cultivate this Demon to become the Demon King."

This was a plan that lasted for a thousand years.

In order to realize the birth of the "Second Demon King," the plan to create the "Seventh Demon King" was derived.

"I won't go into details on how this Demon King plan should be implemented, and what methods should be used to realize it. I'll just tell you the result." Ai Yi said: "In the end, after a thousand years, their Demon King plan seems to have entered the final stage, and the seventh Demon King seems to be about to be successfully born."

At this point, there was no other emotion on Ai Yi's face, but extreme disgust and anger.

Obviously, the existence of this so-called "Seventh Demon King" touched Ai Yi's bottom line, and also touched the bottom line of the Demons.

"What you destroyed before is probably the larva of the Seventh Demon King, a tentacle that split from the real Seventh Demon King to collect the materials to complete the main body."

Ai Yi said coldly.

"When those larvae of Demon King appear, they only have one purpose, and that is to collect the materials needed to complete the main body."

For this, the place where the larvae of Demon King appear will immediately start a magic ritual.

"The ritual will imprison, attract, charm, and control all the Demons and Demons within a certain range, causing them to fall into a violent turmoil and kill each other, causing all the magic and bodies of demons and Demons to mix together."

"In the violent turmoil, whether it is Demons or Demons, once they kill other Demons or Demons, they will absorb their opponent's magic and fuse with their body, becoming a stronger and more violent monster."

"In the end, when there is only one Demons or Demon left in the ritual, the monster that has the most types of magic and body will be eaten by the Demon King."

"At that time, the Demon King will completely absorb the offerings born in the ritual, becoming a part of the Demon King's main body, gradually completing the seventh Demon King."

"This is the completion ritual of the Demon King — — 'Demon Refinement'."

Hearing this, another term appeared in Shien's mind — — 'Demon Refinement'.

It was a witchcraft that placed many poisonous creatures in a sealed container or environment, allowing them to eat each other and absorb the toxins of other creatures into their own bodies, gradually becoming stronger and more poisonous.

When there is only one poisonous creature left in the container or environment, allowing this poisonous creature to accumulate the toxins of all the other poisonous creatures and become the strongest and most poisonous, this poisonous creature will become the so-called 'Gu'.

The Demon Refinement ritual that Ai Yi mentioned was essentially the same as Gu Refinement.

The difference was that in this ritual, all the Demons and Demons were only offerings, and when they become one, they will be absorbed by the tentacles of the Demon King's larva, allowing the Demon King to become a part of the true Demon King, allowing the Demon King to be born gradually.

This was the creation plan of the seventh Demon King.
