Chapter 223 And so, the Demon King Blew the Horn (Part 1)
All races in the dimensional universe were absorbing magic power and cultivating themselves to continuously strengthen their power and develop their civilizations. This step-by-step path had been the consensus "ascension" route for countless years.
However, in the end, the pinnacle of cultivation was not ascending to godhood, but rather...
Mutation?
Magic pollution?
Becoming offspring monsters that lose their sense of self and are filled with evil.
So what exactly were all the efforts and hardships they put in on this path of "evolution" for?
What made Louise even more terrified was the possibility that in their eyes, the flesh and blood monsters were pollution, filled with evil, but could it be that the so-called "gods" were truly like this?
Those beautiful, elegant, charming, and radiant images of gods were nothing more than their own imagination.
A huge monster constantly accumulating and expanding from pieces of flesh and blood, that was the true appearance of gods, the pinnacle of biological evolution, the destination of everything?
Just the thought of herself turning into that made Louise shudder with disgust. She quickly shook her head to drive such bizarre thoughts out of her mind.
Because at the very least, there were two strong pieces of evidence, which could also be said to be hope, that could negate the above viewpoint of "flesh and blood gods".
The first was the Demon Race.
The nine apostles of the Demon Race, each with strength that could rival the kings of other races, were at the ninth tier.
According to the theory of "pollution", these apostles with immense magic power should have mutated long ago, but in reality, they hadn\'t. On the contrary, they could freely utilize magic power, wage wars, and fight fanatically without any scruples.
As for the Demon King, although Louise had never seen him, judging from the numerous worlds destroyed by the Demon Race, the Demon King\'s strength was most likely at the legendary tenth tier, the endpoint of evolution, an ascended god.
Therefore, the existence of the Demon King proved that gods could be normal creatures with independent self-consciousness.
The only doubt was that the kings of the Demon Race did not seem to be eternal.
On the contrary, it was the complete opposite.
The Blood Race had done a lot of research to avoid the descent of the Demon Race, so Louise was also somewhat clear about the internal structure of the Demon Race. For example, the Demon King was not naturally "born" from within the Demon Race.
The Demon Race followed a "summoning" system.
After confirming the next world to descend upon, the first thing the Demon Race did before launching a war was to gather the power of the nine apostles and initiate the summoning of the Demon King.
Louise suspected that it was by relying on this technique that the Demon Race allowed their kings to avoid the invasion of "pollution".
But then a new question arose.
Under this summoning system, where did the Demon Race\'s previous "old king" go?
Did he pass away?
Or did he become the cornerstone for summoning the new king?
Or something else?
Louise didn\'t know about such secrets regarding the succession of the Demon King, which were probably confidential even within the Demon Race.
If one really wanted to ask, perhaps only the Demon King himself would know.
So Louise, who had thought of this, shook her head.
Let\'s not even mention how low the probability was that the Demon King would be willing to discuss this issue with her.
She probably couldn\'t even get a chance to have an "audience" with the Demon King.
Although she was a princess in the Blood Race\'s gathering place, a trusted and admired ancestral lady, and a hegemon in Stillwater Prison.
But in reality, Louise herself knew very well.
Her power had just barely reached the eighth tier. If placed in the Demon Race, if she worked hard, she could probably mix in as a lowly maid beside the Demon King, the most humble kind that washed feet.
So let alone seeing the Demon King, it would probably be difficult for her to even see the nine apostles.
Moreover, the Demon Race was basically all single-minded, only knowing destruction. How could they patiently listen to her explain the crisis of the planes, the pollution of the universe, and whatnot? The moment she went to them, there was a 90% chance she would be directly captured by the demons for brainwashing and transformed into a slave.
This was also why Louise despised the rat-man Skaven.
Any outsider race that wished to join the Demon Race was extremely foolish.
What awaited them was only the path of "brainwashing" by the demons.
Without exception.
Therefore, Louise could only pin her hopes on the second possibility - the Hero.
Her thoughts reaching this point, refocused her attention on Reji, the human who had established a "connection" with them.
Louise had a vague guess about the source of this connection.
"If I\'m not mistaken, you should have a Hero\'s relic on you, right? And it should belong to the Crown Prince," the girl closed her eyes to sense more carefully, finally confirming.
"Don\'t be surprised."
"During the time I was protecting those human scholars for the Second Prince, I also absorbed a lot of knowledge about you humans from them, including your social structure and history."
Louise preemptively judged Reji, giving an explanation, while switching her leg over the other, although this superior sitting posture had a bit of a discordant contrast with her rather loli physique. Continue your saga on mvl
But as the princess of the Blood Race and a girl with noble bloodline, she was long accustomed to this lofty attitude. Even though Reji had saved them and displayed impressive strength, it was obviously not enough for Louise to lower her stance towards him.
