Chapter 107: A Dark Foreshadowing
The main realm is already in winter.
Two months have passed since Artevans returned from the underworld to the Underworld. In the intervening two months, Trier has been completely rebuilt, returning to the way it was before the Necro invasion a few years ago.
Although the dead will not come back, the living will live with the strength of the deceased.
Two months ago, after returning to the Dark Prison, Artevans took out the dimensional pocket that Monasse had given him and took out all the resources stored inside.
The large amount of resources is more than enough for the reconstruction of Trier, and all that remains is the question of labor. In the seven days that Artevans left the Hell, Actory put a halt to Trier's rebuilding and focused on the portal that Artevans had given him before his departure to design a portal that would allow him to teleport across Trier's levels.
With his excellent understanding of the structure of energy, Acteri was able to design a portal that could last in just five days. To maintain the energy supply of the portal, you only need to inject a certain amount of mana every seven days. And the cave in Yelan**, which has been completely transformed into his own laboratory by Yaktri, has many ores containing magical powers.
The appearance of this portal greatly facilitated Trier's reconstruction, and with the payment of the Netherworld brought back by Artevans, as long as the labor force was sufficient, the reconstruction work would not stop.
Aktri got Atfans Jean Sheo? After handing over the nearly thirty Netherworld to him, he imprisoned them somewhere in the cave and conducted "loyalty training" every day and night.
Less than a week after Artevans returned to the Underworld, Aktri succeeded in taming these people and making them loyal to the demons forever and willing to give everything for them.
Artevans didn't bother to ask Actory what kind of methods he used to get these people to submit, but when he saw that these people had not been forcibly transformed by Actory, Artevans probably knew what was going on.
"The so-called will is nothing but the product of the abstraction of spiritual power, by destroying their spirit, thus destroying their will, and then reshaping their will by my own means. In the end, to make their will conform to my wishes, and this is what I have always wanted to do.'"
When later, Theo? When asked about Yaktri, Yaktri replied like this.
"Everyone's will is not indestructible, the so-called indestructible is just that the means you use are not absolute enough. When life feels hopeless, it often wavers in the beliefs that it has always held, and this is the best time to destroy their will."
"I owe it to Lord Artevans, my Demon King, my Majesty, with the sincerest gratitude. If he hadn't provided me with such excellent test subjects, I am afraid it would have been difficult for me to understand the will to life, and the destruction and reshaping of the will."
Actory's words were vague, and it didn't even look like he was answering Theo? Rather than posting his gains, he didn't specifically describe what he had done.
But from Yaktri's hazy words, Theo? He had already guessed what Octeri was doing, but only smiled meaningfully.
"The Transformer" Yaktrifalkars, is Kay? The most twisted and dark existence among the members of that generation of "Black Temple". Even Kay, who is the High Priest? He also said this about Actory.
"No one will want to go against Aktri, he is far more terrifying than we can imagine. Of our generation of people with demon blood, he is probably the most terrifying and crazy being."
————————————
The Sanctuary of Notis, the central nave.
"The civilians who had fled from Trier to Dimore have all returned to Trier if they were willing to return to Trier. According to your orders, the outermost layer of Trier has been built to look like it is dedicated to receiving visitors from the underworld, and as it stands, it works quite well."
As the commander-in-chief of Trier's reconstruction, appointed by Atfans himself, Yaktri naturally needs to follow up on Trier's follow-up situation and report the situation to Atfans on a regular basis. Today is the day of daily reporting.
"The training ground built on the seventh floor of Trier suggested by Commander Dvoga is currently operating well, and a group of young people have volunteered to join the army and contribute to the demons. And then there'......
Methodory reported Trier's situation to Atfans, one by one.
"I already know the general situation, so what do you do with those Netherworld people I gave you?" Atfans was pleased with what Octtri had reported, and then he asked.
"I asked them to be assistants in my lab, and to be honest I didn't really want to do that, but I had to do it because I didn't have a better fit." Actory spread his hands and looked helpless.
"What about the two daughters of Ice and Fire?"
"Those two ladies have very special physiques, and I still haven't been able to analyze how they possess the power of fire and ice, and the Netherworld's Netherworld power is normally not able to be reversed into the power of natural elements. Moreover, the Netherworld itself does not have the conditions to use elemental power. Speaking of the two daughters of Ice and Fire, Actory seemed to be suddenly interested.
"In other words, those two people are being 'studied' by you, aren't they?" Although Actory was as usual reluctant to answer other people's questions when faced with some of his own areas of expertise, Artevans still heard from Actory's words how he dealt with the two daughters of Ice and Fire.
Theo? After returning from the underworld, he handed over Monina and Lanina, the two daughters of Ice and Fire, to Actory, and asked him to decide what to do with them.
"They, to me, are enemies." Theo? That's what Yaktri said.
Aktri's treatment of his enemies, even Artfans, who was not very familiar with Aktri's character, knew what it was, and death might have been a relief for Aktri.
"Exactly." Actory made a gentlemanly salute and replied respectfully.
Atfans nodded, and let Aktri leave.
"Everything seems to be on the right track for the demons, and then, I can take my own affairs seriously." After Octeri left, Artevans rose from his throne and spoke to himself.
After this trip to the underworld, Artevans's prestige in the demon race has increased explosively, and the friendly relationship established with the Netherworld has made many demon people praise it. Atfans's identity as a demon king has also been completely recognized by the entire demon clan.
After all of this was done, Artevans really needed to think about the matter that he had put on hold for a long time, and that was the matter about the Divine Heirs.
"Notek, your good days are over...... "Artevans muttered as he looked into the distance.
"I'm afraid his good days will last for a while." Theo? The voice accompanied her figure, interrupting Atfans' self-talk.
"Are you going to stop me?" Atfans looked at Theo?, his face a little displeased.
"I said I would do everything in my power to help you, no matter what it takes. But it is also my duty to give you appropriate counsel.'" Theo? 's face was very serious, "Now, it's not the time, Lord Artevans' strength has not yet reached the point of opposing the entire Divine Heir Clan."
"Do you know anything about the current Divine Heirs?" Theo? These words were indeed from the bottom of his heart, which attracted the attention of Artevans.
Indeed, in the months since coming to the Hell, Artevans has almost completely lost contact with the main realm, the continent of Ostia. What happened in the main realm, what the Divine Heir did and how far it had developed, Artevans really didn't know anything.
"The Divine Heirs are the most powerful race in the world of Ostia, or even in the entire world, they are naturally blessed and possess great abilities."
Theo? Slowly took out her crystal ball and projected a picture onto the wall of the main hall, "Lord Artevans, please look at this."
"This is!?" Atfans looked at Theo in surprise? The projected image is Talia's use of the Oracle Leap. Artevans could clearly see the eight wings spread out behind Talia's back, as well as the looming "wings".
(Unexpectedly, does Talia already have the strength of eight wings, worthy of being a person with "wings".) Indeed, if this is the case, now I, even if I gather all the powerhouses of the demon clan, I am afraid that I am not the opponent of the god heir clan. )
(Although the Divine Heirs are divided into two factions, they will still temporarily unite for the sake of their haughty pride when faced with foreign enemies.) Even Notek is already a little difficult to deal with, not to mention the current Talia and Royalt, and even the master will fight. )
Atfans calmed down and carefully analyzed the situation.
(At least Notek doesn't know where I am, I'm still in the shadows.) )
"Theo?, I'm thinking, it's time for me to get in touch with the Overworld, and I want to send some forces to gather all the information of the Overworld for me, even the resources of the Overworld." Atlvans had an idea, and he immediately shared it with Theo? Share.
"Can I understand that Lord Artevans is no longer satisfied with the Hell, and wants to expand his ambitions into the Overworld?" Theo? After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said to Atfans.
"As you said, I can't defeat the Divine Heirs right now, so I'll have more power at my disposal. The Lord's Realm, I don't fully understand there, and I think there must be what I need.'" Artevans thought back to the Necromancy, if the Necronomicon could rely on numbers to make up for the gap in individual combat power, then Artvance could do the same, "As the first step out of the Dark Hell and towards the Lord's Realm, I would like to send some reliable people to the Lord's Realm to take root first, obtain more information about the Lord's Realm, and then further obtain the resources of the Lord's Realm."
"Master Artevans' plan is indeed good, but I have a better way, a race that will allow you to gain more power." Theo? Straight to the point.
"What's your idea?" What does Artfans think of Theo? already has his own plan, and he seems to have vaguely guessed Theo? What was the race he was talking about, he asked a little knowingly.
Theo? Noticing the expectant gaze of Artevis, a subtle expression appeared. After a few seconds of silence, she spoke slowly.
"Human ......"
