Chapter 362: Demon King Atlantis
Chapter 362: Demon King Atlantis
Gaia understood Ray's expression, but he also wanted to show off, so he explained:
"The origins of the demon race are very significant. Legend has it that they ruled the universe for tens of thousands of years, but suddenly perished in a very short time. To this day, no one knows what kind of disaster they encountered."
"The surviving members of the demon race chose to remain silent, hiding their identities and waiting for the opportunity to revive their race."
"There are very few people left of the demon race now. The only one we know is Mogos, a very famous bounty hunter. But before that, no one knew he came from the demon race, and he always called himself a ferocious beast."
"It wasn't until the Dragon Vein incident that a second Demon King appeared. I think if it weren't for rescuing Demon God, the demon race would probably still be hiding like before."
That demon king was Amir, who single-handedly rescued Demon King from Wu Erqi.
"Later, everyone thought the matter was over, and the seniors of the Dragon Vein didn't think much of it either, assuming that the demon race just wanted to take advantage of the situation. At that time, Mogos did indeed want to trick Wu Erqi and the people of Dark Night City into setting up the Soul Devouring Array, so that he could use the energy of the Devouring God Mad Heaven to help himself break through."
"However, no one expected that a demon emperor of the demon race was hidden deep within the dragon vein!"
"The Demon Emperor's strength is far greater than that of the other Demon Kings; they are not even from the same plane. Moreover, he has been hiding in the Dragon Vein for a full thousand years, constantly stealing the original power of the Dragon Clan. His strength has risen to an extremely terrifying level, and even the Supreme Divine Dragon is no match for him."
Ray listened in stunned silence. Weren't they just talking about the demon race and Demon Gods? How did a demon emperor suddenly appear, hiding in the dragon vein for a thousand years and stealing the dragon race's primordial power for a thousand years...?
"The Demon Emperor hid for a thousand years, and the Supreme Divine Dragon and the others didn't notice at all? The Dragon Clan's origin was stolen for a thousand years, and they didn't notice at all?"
Ray asked incredulously.
"...I was curious too, but they were already in such a terrible situation, I didn't dare to ask."
Gaia's tone was also quite complex.
However, this was hindsight. The Demon Emperor was hiding in the deepest part of the Dragon Vein, which was the safest and most secluded location in the Dragon Vein. Apart from the Supreme Divine Dragon and the Glazed Ice Horned Dragon guarding it, even other guardians of the Dragon Vein were not allowed to enter at will.
The Supreme Divine Dragon, having been weakened by the previous Great War of Order, has fallen into a long period of hibernation.
Therefore, after the Demon Emperor subdued the Glazed Ice Horned Dragon without anyone noticing, almost no one disturbed him.
As for the origin of the dragon race, when the Demon Emperor absorbed the origin of the dragon race, he continuously emitted the aura of the origin of the dragon race, deceiving everyone.
"In short, when I investigated the dragon vein by chance, I never expected to uncover such a huge secret. The power of the Demon Emperor is truly unparalleled, and I feel that it is no weaker than the Heavenly Evil Dragon King."
"At that time, the guardians of the Dragon Vein were all defeated by the Demon Emperor Landis. With the help of the Supreme Divine Dragon, I obtained a power inheritance buried under the Dragon Vein, which made my strength advance by leaps and bounds. For the time being, I can compete with the Demon Emperor, but only for a short time."
"Not to mention that my body was far beyond its capacity in that state, even if I could fully master that power inheritance, I would still be no match for the Demon Emperor."
"Fortunately, the Light Elemental Elf Queen Scarlett suddenly descended, not only suppressing the Demon Emperor but also helping me stop my body from collapsing. Under the Elf Queen's guidance, I successfully broke through, but I am still far from being a Demon Emperor."
Gaia recalled that day as one of great danger.
But the moment the Light-type Elf King appeared, it was as if a god was protecting her believer, and everything felt secure.
In particular, the Light Elemental King's words, "Landis, can't you learn to behave yourself?", severely suppressed Landis's arrogance.
"Later, I followed the Elf King to wreak havoc in the demon realm. Now that the demon realm is in chaos, they should be able to behave themselves for a long time."
So Gaia has just returned from the demon race.
I originally intended to share this experience with my friends, but their experiences were just as remarkable, and even more thrilling.
"It's good that the matter is resolved. If the demon race tries to do anything again, we now have the strength to stop them. Now that you're back, I'm also very confident in dealing with Wesker."
Rei said.
“Wesker! From what you’re saying, he’s probably in the same organization as the Heavenly Evil Dragon King. That’s too sudden. I’ve always thought he was just a clown. Besides being good at scheming and manipulating, he’s probably the weakest of all the opponents we’ve encountered.”
Gaia remained silent.
Ray smiled wryly; it was somewhat unbelievable.
"By the way, where's Muse? I haven't seen her since I got back."
"Muse should be dealing with family matters."
Ray said thoughtfully.
Ray knew something about the collusion between Wesker and the Celestial Serpent Ancestor.
However, he hadn't experienced the battle on the Heavenly Serpent Wasteland, and neither Cassius nor Wu Erqi were the type to talk behind people's backs. They couldn't possibly tell Ray everything in detail. Cassius was still recuperating in Dark Night City, so Ray didn't know much about the matter.
But Muse clearly met Cassius on Serpent Star, yet she didn't follow him to fight alongside him. There must be a reason for that. Ray believed in his comrade and was not the kind of person who would abandon his friend to his death.
……
In fact, Muse also regretted not following Cassius and the others immediately, but instead went back to question her father, resulting in her being confined by the Celestial Serpent Ancestor.
The Heavenly Serpent Ancestor didn't want his daughter to have any connection with the organization, whether close or hostile. No one knew the organization's horror better than him, but he couldn't go against his daughter's temper, and he was also afraid that she would become disloyal to him.
He could only delay for the time being, promising to teach his daughter the secret technique to restrain the evil spirits once she broke through. Muse had no choice but to obediently comply.
However, even the Heavenly Serpent Ancestor did not expect that the Evil Emperor would die so easily, which he could not accept for a while.
You should know that the Evil Emperor's trump card for resurrection is in your own hands. The Evil Emperor has left many backup plans for resurrection, and the power he can unleash is terrifying. Even the Elf King cannot stop him, and may even be killed by him.
However, after accepting it, the Heavenly Serpent Ancestor felt much more at ease.
Wesker has already used the organization's favors to exchange for the Serpent Treasure. In other words, he no longer owes Wesker anything. If you really want to be precise, it's Wesker who owes him a favor, because that favor belongs to the organization, not just Wesker himself.
Wesker's verbal provocation last time had already displeased the Celestial Serpent Ancestor. Since he was so useless, he should continue to sleep, so as not to jump out and cause trouble.
Even from the organization's perspective, such wasteful resources are better left in the garbage dump.
After the Heavenly Serpent Ancestor's thoughts were clear, he no longer felt burdened when teaching the Muses.
He possesses many secret techniques capable of severely damaging evil spirits.
However, there aren't many suitable options left to utilize.
