Chapter 770

"Boom!"

Amidst the loud sound of water splashing, the group of seven descended from the sky and rushed straight into the giant lake at the top of the mountain, causing a huge splash.

Shien rushed into the water and subconsciously held his breath, only to find that he could breathe underwater.

Not only that, but his clothes were not wet at all. It was as if he had not entered a lake, but a pool of clouds that looked like a lake. He could not even feel the water pressure.

This made Shien curious.

"Let's go, let's continue."

Lide, who was in Sean's arms, urged him to hurry up.

Her voice traveled underwater without any hindrance. Only when she opened her mouth would a series of bubbles appear, as if water was pouring into her mouth.

Shien tried to open his mouth, and bubbles also appeared, but the water did not flow into his mouth.

"This is neither magical nor scientific."

Leaving such a thought, Shien carried Lide and plunged into the water.

The rest of the Devil Cultivator s immediately followed and dived down.

As the group continued to dive, the visibility did not decrease in an unscientific and magical manner.

But Shien was already used to it. He simply dived down and did not express any thoughts.

After diving for who knew how long, Shien finally saw the bottom of the lake.

There was actually a mansion there. It was like a villa under the water, standing there quietly.

"That is …?"

Seeing the mansion, Shien could not help but stop diving.

There was no other reason than that the mansion was not unfamiliar to Shien.

Although Sean had only seen it once, he still had a deep impression of the paradise-like mansion with birds chirping and fragrant flowers.

The mansion had another name.

"Flowering Mansion."

Or perhaps, "Devil King Tavern".

It was the mansion that Lésia had invited Vivian's team and Shien to when they were in Lamegion. It was said to be the private mansion of the Demon King.

Sylar spoke.

"That is the Demon King Mansion, the treasure that Demon King Claudius left for the Demons." Sylar said as she noticed Shien's shocked expression. She could not help but ask, "What's wrong? Is there a problem? "

"No, nothing." Shien shook his head subconsciously, but he could not help but ask, "Isn't the Demon King Mansion in Lésia's hands?"

"Lésia?" Sylar was stunned at first, but immediately realized who Shien was talking about.

The rest of the demons also raised their eyebrows, but none of them said anything.

The demonic dwellers were naturally aware of the existence of Lai Xia and even Ru Xia.

One was a magical life created by using the magic of the Demon King as a core medium.

The other was a magical life created by using the body of the Demon King as a core medium.

The master and servant of the twins were inextricably linked to the Demon King. They were the only two Demon King's pure bodies in the world, which were the remnants of the Demon King's replicas.

It was impossible that the demons did not know about the existence of the master and servant.

However, the demons obviously did not want to talk about this topic.

Even Sella only said one sentence.

"You are talking about the space mage who betrayed the [Slaughterer Faction], stole mother's body from the Mithra Kingdom's palace, and took away mother's mansion, right?" Sylar avoided the topic and said, "Although the mansion in her hands is also the Demon King Mansion, there is nothing special about it. The only thing that can be called special is that mother used to live there, right?"

The Demon King Mansion in front of them was different.

"This is not mother's mansion, but the holy land of Demons that mother forged with her own hands. It has the effect of drawing out other people's magic, turning it into pure power, and passing it on to others."

Sylar's explanation surprised Shien once again.

"Passing power?"

Shien looked at Sylar in surprise.

But at this moment, the rest of the Demons spoke up.

"Don't be surprised, it is indeed passing power," Chafine said. Shafne explained: "The Inner Temple left behind by the Overgod allows humans to directly come into contact with the existence of [Truth], thereby increasing their understanding and strength. Demon Kings like us are unable to do such a miraculous thing"

"That's right," Lide said. "Although in terms of power, the Devil King is definitely stronger than the Overgod, the Overgod is the true omnipotent Goddess. Even the world was created by her. The Devil King can destroy the world, but he can't create it." Lide also spoke up.

"This has always been the difference between Demons and Protoss," Kamina said. Kamina spoke up and said, "The Demon Race is famous for their strength. Their pure strength is undoubtedly better than the God Race's, but the God Race's unique ability in various fields, the power called Authority, can achieve all the miraculous effects that we Demons can only look up to."

This was also why the demons were so powerful but still couldn't solve the problem that the Ice Ladies faced and couldn't remove the [Ice Net Flow]'s frozen state. On the other hand, among the Protoss goddesses, there was more than one who could do this.

Demons were undoubtedly more powerful than the Protoss, but the Protoss also had their own advantages. They could exert special powers in various domains. Each goddess was in charge of different domains, different concepts, and could do all kinds of things that Demons and humans couldn't.

Therefore, as the true omnipotent goddess, the Inner Sanctum created by the Supreme God could allow humans to easily come into contact with the existence of [Truth] without any side effects, obtain extraordinary understanding, and thus improve their combat power.

On the other hand, the Demons, who were proud of their power, couldn't do such things.

Of course, as mentioned before, when power reached a certain level, many things that couldn't be done could also be done.

Magic, for example, was a concept created by the Demon King. The Protoss could only follow the trend in the use of power, which was why they created magic such as holy magic and recovery magic.

Monsters were also a race created by the Demons. They used the power of magic to create life, and this was how living creatures created magic.

But it was undeniable that the things that could be done with power alone were certainly not as perfect as the Protoss.

For example, monsters. The original intention of the Demons' creation was to imitate the Protoss' creation of humans and use them as combat power on the battlefield.

Unfortunately, the monsters created by the Demons were generally not very intelligent, and they were fierce and cruel. Like wild beasts, they only knew how to eat raw meat and drink blood. In the end, most of them didn't listen to orders. Unless they were domesticated, otherwise, even the Demons, the creator, couldn't make them obey.

This had already shown that the Demons were not as clever and dexterous as the Protoss in areas other than power.

The Demon King was the same. Although he could create a Demon King Hall to enhance the combat power of the Demons, compared to the Inner Sanctum created by the Supreme God, it was undoubtedly flawed.

Its flaw was that it needed "materials" to increase its strength.

And this "material" was magic.

It was not the ownerless magic that existed in magic crystals, sources of magic, or even the atmosphere of the world, but the magic that was born with power.

Through the sacrifice of the person who supplied the magic, this part of the magic would be converted into pure power by the Demon King Hall and absorbed by others, thus achieving the purpose of enhancing power.

"In the past, there were many people in the Devil Race who used this Devil King Dojo to train their juniors."

Ai Yi spoke of the more cruel history in a calm tone.

"Some Demons who were already old and about to die, or Demons who were about to die because of injuries, would bring the younger generation of their race here when they felt that their days were numbered. They sacrificed all their magic to enhance the power of the younger generation of Demons."

Therefore, the use of the Demon King Hall was not like the Inner Sanctum of the human race, which was gentle and had no side effects. Instead, it was built on many sacrifices.

"Of course, since the end of the war a thousand years ago, the Demon King Hall has been sealed here by the six of us. Unless there are special circumstances, it will not be used."

Sylar pointed at the surrounding lake.

"Don't think that it was easy for you to come in. That's because we accompanied you. If someone were to trespass here, the water would instantly turn into poison. Even a Transcendent Level existence wouldn't be able to escape unscathed."

A poison that even a Transcendent Level existence couldn't avoid?

Could it be …

Shien turned to Kamina.

"It's my arrangement." Seeing this, Kamina immediately said straightforwardly, "It's not just me. My sisters also left behind their own methods."

"Yes!" Mi Lu raised her hand and echoed, "Mi Lu also left behind!"

In other words, if one wanted to break into this place and enter the Demon King Hall, they must pass through the various protective measures left behind by the six demons.

Looking at the entire Omnippertansen, the only person who could do this was probably the strongest Goddess of Fate, Lidas, right?

And that goddess shouldn't be interested in such a Demon King Hall.

As a result, there was no one who could break into this place and enter the Demon King Hall safely.

However …

"Why did you bring me to a place like this?"

Shien poked at the bull's eye.

This was a matter of course.

According to the demons, they wanted him to enter the Demon King Hall and use the effects of the Demon King Hall to enhance his own strength.

However, the premise was that someone was willing to sacrifice themselves and offer their demonic power for Shien to absorb.

Other than Shien himself, there were only six demons who came here today.

What did this mean?

Shien had already guessed it, but he didn't dare to believe it.

However, his guess was undoubtedly correct.

"We have already discussed it." Ai Yi stared at Shien and said word by word, "We will provide demonic power for you to absorb."

Ai Yi's words perfectly confirmed Shien's guess.

These demons actually planned to use their own strength to help Shien grow.

"Alright, let's go back."

Without hesitation, Shien turned around and prepared to leave.

It wasn't that he didn't want to improve his strength, but if the price of improving his strength was the sacrifice of others, then he wouldn't be interested.

Especially the six demons present. They were either his fiancée or his secret lover, and the rest were all existences he was friends with. Even Kamina was his sister-in-law.

You want them to sacrifice their own strength to help me?

Forget it!

Just as Shien was about to leave, Chafne seemed to have expected this and hugged his arm.

"Don't get too excited," Chafne said with amusement. "This won't affect us as much as you think."

"That's right." Ai Yi also grabbed one of Shien's hands, looked at him, and said, "We are demons, and each of us is stronger than the Goddess of Life and the Goddess of Nature combined. If it's us, we only need to sacrifice a little power, and it'll be enough for you to benefit a lot."

"Moreover, the six of us will sacrifice together, so each of us will need to sacrifice less power." Lide also tried to persuade him: "This way, the sacrifice will have little effect on us, and you will be able to use this opportunity to improve yourself."

This was the decision made by the demons during the meeting that day.

It was a gift for Shien, and also to prove something.

"Don't worry." Sala said to Sean, "If nothing goes wrong, even if you break through to the limit level, the cost will not be worth mentioning when it is shared among the six of us."

This was not Sala and the others purposely trying to coax Shien, but it was the truth.

The six demons only needed to sacrifice a little bit of power, and that little bit of power added up would be very shocking for someone who hadn't transcended yet.

As long as Shien could absorb it, he could use this opportunity to break through to the Limit State.

The six demons didn't lose much power either. It might be an exaggeration to say that it wasn't worth mentioning, but it wouldn't affect them too much.

Otherwise, even if Ai Yi and Chafnie didn't say anything, the other demons might not be willing to sacrifice so much for Shien.

"… Are you sure?"

Sean was silent for a while, then he stared at the group of Devil Dwellers.

The demons nodded one after another.

Kamina did the same.

"Don't worry. If I really have to sacrifice so much, I won't just stand by and watch my sister and sister sacrifice themselves to this extent for an outsider, let alone myself."

Kamina said very directly and very realistically.

But this kind of statement made Shien feel at ease.

At the same time, Shien also understood that he might owe these demons a big favor.

Perhaps, for them, this bit of power was nothing, but Shien still benefited a lot from it.

Was this the Demon Race's way of drawing him to their side?

Or did Ai Yi or Chafnie arrange all this for him?

"Don't think too much."

Sylar couldn't read Shien's mind like Chafnie, but she could see through Shien's thoughts at this time and suddenly smiled at him.

"We are helping you, not only because you are about to become our family, but also because we have other considerations. It's not all for you. You can accept it with a clear conscience, there's no need to worry too much."

The other demons also laughed, nodded, or disagreed, and some were even very happy. But in the end, it didn't seem like they were deliberately showing kindness to Shien.

Shien also didn't know why they made such a decision.

But he could not trust Sylar, Lide, Kamina, and even Chafnie and Milu, but he absolutely trusted Ai Yi.

So …

"Okay, I got it."

Shien nodded.

This also meant that Shien remembered this favor.
