Everyone gawked at the image released from the crystal: it was Y'zaks in his demonic form.
The gigantic demon in the image seemed to be standing on a cracked, scorched land. Beneath his feet was the red and burning land. Behind him was a distorted chaotic gate that seemed to lead to an endless dark abyss. The demon's body was riddled with wounds. Molten iron dripped from his wounds onto the ground. That iconic broken horn and body shape was undoubtedly Y'zaks.
Around the image, there were countless demons of all kinds who were also riddled with wounds. These demons were like knights who swore loyalty to their leader in the face of despair. The background of the image was murky, and it was impossible to see where the image came from.
"I used to rule the whole world," the 'Y' zaks' in the image rumbled. "My failure is nothing … There will be a new demon to take over the artifact I left behind, and regain control of this power that is enough to rule the world! I have buried my infinite power and wisdom in the Osidian Plain. Within a thousand years, a new demon king will be born. He will take over my scepter and destroy your weak and broken world! "
Then the image flashed, and the 'Y'zaks' and the remaining hundreds of demons around him turned around and leaped into the gate that led to the endless darkness. It was as if they were unwilling to be defeated by the weak human beings and chose to be exiled to another dimension forever.
That was all the content of the image. After that, it was an indistinguishable chaotic image.
Everyone looked at each other. After a long while, Vivian could not help but say, "I think... that looks like a big guy."
Y 'zaks was just as confused as the others. He scratched his bald head and said, "But I don't remember saying these things before I left … I don't remember having any divine artifacts or anything like that. Who would have the time to plan for an heir after a thousand years when I was beaten like that?"
While teaching Lil Pea how to spin in the water, Nangong Wuyue looked up and asked, "You really don't have a long-lost brother or something?"
Y'zaks rolled his eyes. Obviously, there was only one such fierce person in tens of thousands of years. No matter how heroic a mother was, she might not be able to give birth to two demon kings at the same time. Lanina also frowned. "I feel that the person in the image... is a little strange. Although the image is very similar, and the details of the speech and movement are also very similar, I feel that there is still a difference between him and the king. In terms of temperament... and aura. Also, the demon's movements in the image are slightly stiff. It feels very deliberate. "
"A fake?" Vivian raised her eyebrows. "Who could it be?"
"It's hard to say." Lanina spread out her hands. "I can't see the significance of it. Pretending to be a 'dead' demon king won't bring any benefits. The only benefit is that the Coalition Army will fall into a period of chaos. But the chaos will not last. No matter how strong the Coalition Army is, they will not stay in the demonic world for a 'a' prophecy 'for a thousand years. And even if it is a fake... the demon in the image does look a little like the king. It makes people very suspicious of its identity. "
"A demon that looks almost identical to Y'zaks left behind such a thing." Hao Ren rubbed his chin and looked at the crystal with interest. "Looks like the big guy's Yu Wei is not simple. Could it be that he wants to appear as the new demon king in a few years, so he is creating public opinion in advance?"
No one said a word. The situation was so strange that they did not even know where to start. However, after a while, Lily suddenly clapped her hands happily. "Hey, hey, I found something suspicious!"
Everyone immediately stared at the husky. The husky did not keep them in suspense. She pointed at the crystal and asked, "Who do you think was holding the crystal and recording it?"
Everyone was speechless.
"This is what you came up with after thinking for a long time?" Vivian did not know whether to laugh or cry. "What's the point of recording it?"
"Yes," Lily said seriously. "When you are about to commit suicide, would you hire a cameraman to follow you? The scene in the image looks like a battlefield. Under such circumstances, there is still a cameraman holding a device to record the big guy's death. Don't you think it is strange? Where did this cameraman happen to pass by? And look at the last image. "
As Lily said, she let Lanina play the image again and let everyone pay attention to the scene when Y'zaks led the demons into the dark portal. "Pay attention here. The image jumps up and then immediately falls down. This proves that the crystal was not placed on the ground. Someone was holding it. The image jumps up because the hand of the person holding the crystal was cramping. It could also be to express impassioned emotions..."
At the end of the image, the dark portal slowly closed. The image lasted for a while. Lily also explained, "Obviously, the cameraman is still outside the portal..."
Vivian was dumbfounded. "Doggie's way of thinking … is quite useful sometimes."
Hao Ren did not expect Lily to think in this direction. He ruffled Lily's hair and asked, "What's your conclusion?" "Set up," Lily nodded.
"First of all, we can be sure that there is a director in this video, and it is all actors. Secondly, the location of the video should be somewhere in the demonic dimension. The distant view is so blurry that it is probably to hide the real shooting location. Secondly, the person who left these things should be someone close to the big guy. He is very familiar with the big guy, and he can get this crystal. More importantly, he found a demon who looks almost identical to the big guy to be the star. This person is very scheming."
Hao Ren applauded Lily's idea. He quickly took out a packet of spicy sticks to reward the maiden. Y'zaks began to seriously think about who would fit these characteristics, especially the flame demon lord who looked similar to him. His expression changed, and soon, he had a few suspects.
But those suspects should have died in the middle of the war.
Unless their deaths were fake...
"Anyway, we have to investigate this matter," Hao Ren decided. "It's not right to do this kind of thing after the death of a person. We can't let the big guy die in peace..."
As soon as Hao Ren's voice trailed off, Lanina glared at him fiercely. Vivian poked Hao Ren's arm and said, "Can you hold it in if you don't know how to talk?"
"Say, if we can guess these things, can't the Coalition Army?" Nangong Wuyue asked curiously. "Will they also know from the details of the video that it was set up?"
"Not necessarily." Y'zaks grinned. "At least, they shouldn't have thought of this yet. Our world is different from Earth. We don't have the concept of set up here, let alone a suicide broadcast... "
Finally, Y'zaks stood up and said, "Anyway, I have to investigate this matter and find out who is using my 'death' to do this."
"Do you have any plans?" Hao Ren looked up at Y'zaks.
Y'zaks lowered his head and pondered for a moment. "I have decided to go to Cadeceus."
Lily was excited when she heard it was a new place. "Where is Cadeceus?!"
Nangong Wuyue sighed and said, "I hope it's not as dry as here... I can't stand the environment in the demonic realm."
Y'zaks laughed. "Don't worry, Cadeceus is a very suitable place for you. It's human territory, the most prosperous settlement in the human world."
Hao Ren was surprised. He thought that Y'zaks would naturally go to the other eight demonic planes to look for clues. He did not expect the next stop to be the human kingdom. "You're going to the human kingdom to look for clues? Aren't we looking for the demon that looks like you? "
"Sometimes it's better to take a different path." Lanina had already guessed what Y'zaks was thinking and explained for him. "There are ten demonic planes, and each of them is vast and ruled by powerful demon kings. It's too dangerous to look for information in those places. On the other hand, Cadeceus is the base camp of the human world. Although the races of the human world have civil wars, but as a whole, they are all enemies of the demonic plane. Therefore, they use Cadeceus as a hub to establish the largest distribution center. There are Warlock temples and various institutions that specialize in the study of demonic planes. Every day, they send countless spies to investigate the situation of the demonic plane. Through there, we can understand the general situation of the other demonic planes, so we don't have to put ourselves in danger. It may be difficult for humans to find out the deep secrets of the demonic world from the news, but we are experienced demons. Maybe we can find some clues from the warlocks of Cadeceus. "
"And most importantly," Y'zaks grinned. "We are too eye-catching in the demonic plane."
"Alright," Hao Ren clapped his hands. "Let's go to Cadeceus! But then again... how do we get there? "
"That's simple." Y'zaks pointed to the obsidian around him. "First dig a few pieces of obsidian and build a portal..."
