The room fell into silence once more.
The scene they had just seen was what happened at the scene. Everyone finally understood why Kou Marco said that he found it hard to describe the situation back then. It was because when he saw the strange black arm, he had already been infected by the aura of Chaos. If he hadn't activated the Return Crystal ahead of time, he would probably have died there.
More importantly, at the last moment before Kou Maker returned, they all saw the strange eye-like thing in the middle of the palm of the arm.
"What … What the hell is that?"
Depp was a little confused. "It looks like an arm? An arm with an eye in the palm? "
Tang En said in a low voice, "When I went to the scene just now, I found a very strong aura of Chaos …"
Danny exclaimed, "Could Big Sis have been taken away by a Chaos creature?! How is that possible?! "
Yes! How is that possible?! Chaos creatures have no sense of reason. They only act according to their instincts. Whether they have any instincts is still unknown. How could they take a hostage?
Tang En frowned and said slowly, "In the Purgatory Abyss, there's only one thing that carries such a strong aura of Chaos and has the ability to prevent Elsa from escaping … It seems to be that thing …"
The others looked at each other and said in unison, "The King of Demons!"
That's right! That's it!
Tang En said coldly, "We have to find its location as soon as possible, kill it, and save Elsa."
"But we don't know where the King of Demons is. Even Barmetos doesn't know. We've used various methods to draw a map of the Purgatory Abyss over the past six months, but I'm afraid it only covers ten to twenty percent of the central area of the Purgatory Abyss. There's still a lot of space in the outer areas that we're unfamiliar with."
Since the human expeditionary army appeared near the Bloody Battlefield, the map they drew radiated with this place as the core. The Purgatory Abyss was originally very large, and this way of spreading caused most of the demons' area to be pitch-black.
"Maybe we can capture a few high-ranked demons and interrogate them?"
Although demons were delirious due to the corruption of Chaos, some demons still had a certain ability to speak, such as the balor that tried to descend to Prandal but was beaten back by Tang En and the others …
Tang En said without hesitation, "We can try."
Now, he was willing to try any method that could dig out information.
"Perhaps there's no need to be in such a hurry."
Eluri comforted Tang En. "If the Demon King wanted to kill Elsa, it would have done so long ago. There is no need to keep Elsa alive. Since it chose to keep Elsa alive … perhaps it wants to negotiate with us? After all, it may be the only existence among all the demons that still has some rationality. I'm afraid it doesn't want to die so inexplicably, right? "
Tang En shook his head without saying a word because he knew it was impossible.
Any creature with rationality would try their best to avoid self-destruction. Sympathy and kindness would not save the world because the continuation of the race was the instinct of creatures, and even demons were no exception. Therefore, they would reproduce more and more after that.
There was once such a special race on Earth. When they were few in number, they wanted respect from the main race, asking for privileges and sympathy. But they did not take the initiative to integrate into modern civilization. Instead, they used very rough, barbaric, and primitive methods to expand themselves and rapidly increase their numbers …
This was a symbol of modern civilization losing to barbarism, and at the same time, it also proved the characteristics of every race's reproduction and expansion.
When the population of this race began to expand, what they sought was no longer a simple continuation, but more resources or greater power. At the same time, they began to forcibly propagate their ideas to the main race. At this time, they already had the advantage of numbers. What they wanted was not respect, but obedience. Therefore, the strong and irreconcilable contradiction led to a conflict between this race and the main race, and war broke out just like that.
This was not a special case, but a universal truth. The process of a stronger civilization annexing a weaker one was the process of a civilization's development. The development of any civilization was accompanied by cruel and bloody expansion and the extinction of species. If a civilization did not want to be recorded in the records of other civilizations, they could only expand themselves and spread their own civilization.
From the Demon King's point of view, it was completely understandable that it was doing this for its own race.
But if one were to look at it from Barmetos' side, the situation would be completely different. The existence of demons was a painful humiliation to the demons, and one should sympathize with them. However, the position of the Demon King was an unacceptable destroyer, which made it impossible for one to sympathize with him.
Depp pondered and said, "Maybe he also realized the threat he was facing, so he came up with this idea?"
Tang En shook his head and said calmly, "We can't pin our hopes on the enemy's mercy. This is not a war between races, religions, or ideologies. This is a war between chaos and order. It's a war between two camps, and it's impossible to coexist peacefully from the beginning. If we want to end this war, we either have to find a way to reverse the transformation of demons into demons, or we have to completely destroy them. There's no other way."
Reverse the transformation of demons into demons? It sounded wonderful, but it was impossible. Otherwise, the gods would not have ignored it for so many years.
So, there was only one choice left for them, and that was to completely destroy the demons!
Just as Tang En was about to set out to capture a few demons for interrogation, he suddenly received a call from Elijah.
"Not good, my dear!"
Elijah's voice was full of panic. "Weiwei's memory might have awakened! Come quickly! "
Tang En was stunned. "I'll be right there!"
… …
On the top floor of Ellington Academy, Elijah hung up the phone and turned to look at Winette. "Are you satisfied now? As you wish, you can finally help him. "
"I don't know. But when I realized that I was being tortured by my mission, I knew that this day would come sooner or later."
Winette looked up at the sky. On the campus below, the students were waving their iron swords in the bleak autumn wind as they practiced their combat skills. After awakening her memories, she suddenly felt that the distance between her and her classmates had widened.
It was her decision, so why did she suddenly regret it?
It was as if … it was best to be as carefree as before.
"He'll be here soon," Elijah said calmly. "But I hope you understand that you shouldn't say anything that you shouldn't say, understand?"
It would take some time for Winette's memory to break through the seal, but recently, Winette had been troubled by strange dreams when she slept every day, and she even saw hallucinations during the day, so she begged Otinia.
However, the memory seal on her was set by Apophis, and Otinia was powerless even if she wanted to, so she simply exposed Elijah.
It was also at this time that Winette found out that her lazy mother was actually the famous Lady Calamity …
Winette took the initiative to ask Elijah to help her break the seal and find her true self. Elijah happened to find out about the situation with Tang En, so after thinking about it, she agreed to her request.
"I know you don't want to expose that you've awakened yet, so don't worry, I'll still take care of you like a mother."
"It's good that you know." Elijah was still very satisfied with her current life. "But do you think he needs your help?"
Winette was quite calm at this time. "This is my mission and my home. If I can help him, then it's all worth it."
Elijah looked at Winette with a little curiosity. "Can you tell me what Apophis asked you to do? He never mentioned it to me. "
Winette hesitated for a moment and whispered, "My mission is …"
…
After hanging up the phone, Tang En had an indescribable feeling — wasn't this too much of a coincidence? He had just started to think about how to find the Demon King, and Winette's memory had already awakened?
If Winette could dig out the location of the Demon King from her memory, the current dilemma would be solved easily!
— She could even go one step further and directly launch a counterattack against the demons, ending this war that had been going on for a long time!
Perhaps even Tang En himself would not believe that all of this was a coincidence, but if even this kind of thing was calculated by the gods, wasn't it too exaggerated?
If the gods were really so meticulous, why would they let such a terrible thing as the Chaos creatures appear?
"Your Majesty?"
"Things may have taken a turn for the better. Winette's memory has awakened. From today onwards, we will have an Oracle in Prandal."
Tang En said as he opened the portal. "I'll go back for a while. If I can get the location of the Demon King from Winette, we'll immediately execute the decapitation operation."
Elsa's safety was the most important thing at the moment. Tang En did not want to delay any longer.
"Yes!"
Tang En returned to Ellington through the portal. The next moment, he flashed directly to Ellington Academy. When he arrived at the academy, he heard Elijah's exclamation from the top floor of the academy. "What!? Are you sure you're not joking!? "
… What happened now?
