Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Great Tribulation and the Demon God of Destruction
The matriarch's words sent a chill through Fodamès, but he still noticed a key part of the matriarch's words that he didn't know about: "The catastrophe? ”
"Yes, the great calamity...... "Repeating these three words, the matriarch said with a hint of lamentation on her face: "A great calamity launched by the Demon King of the World. A huge tide of black energy swept through every inch of the earth. My people and everything they had built were wiped out in that moment, including our enemy Wilwall. Everything on the earth that has anything to do with our two races has been wiped out in a very short time. Then, under the control of the Demon King of the World, the energy went against the current, and everything he quantified was devoured and wiped out of the seal. I was the only one of our people who made a prophecy and led a very small number of people to come here and escaped that catastrophe with a protective barrier built at an unimaginably high cost......"
Recalling the past of many centuries ago, thoughts of sorrow and sorrow intertwine in the matriarch's heart. She let out a sigh of helplessness and said to herself with a gloomy expression: "It's ridiculous to think about it, I made a prophecy and a way to avoid it a hundred years before the great calamity. But almost no one among my compatriots believed it. No...... It is not so much that no one believes the calamity I prophesied, but that our strength and prosperity have blinded them. They would not believe that there is such a powerful force in the world that can destroy the prosperous world of Ken and De, which is in full swing. Therefore, unwilling to pay such a great price for hiding, I could only try to persuade them, but our king banished me ten years before the great tribulation in the name of disturbing the order of the country. It's really sad......" said here, the matriarch smiled, and there was a lot of emotion and sadness in the laughter.
Looking at everything in front of him, Fodames learned some information. The matriarch's natural demeanor made him feel that she didn't look like she was lying. And in the face of this, there is no need to lie. At this moment, Fudamès's heart, which had been tense and trembling, was somewhat relaxed, and he was somewhat sympathetic to the matriarch's plight. But now he himself has even more doubts, since the monster-like Wilwall has been completely wiped out by the catastrophe created by the Demon King of the World, why did he reproduce and create his own tragedy nine years ago? In addition to this question that is of great significance to him for Fodamès, there are many questions in the matriarch's narrative just now, what is the barrier of the matriarch in the catastrophe? was able to conceal the Demon King of the World. What is the so-called huge? Questions like these swirled around Fodamès, but only three words came out of his mouth: "And then?" ”
"And then?" The matriarch repeated these two words, and her thoughts wandered again in the memories of thousands of years: "Since then, my people and I have been living in seclusion here, and I sometimes go out to check - new creatures have been born on the earth and new civilizations have been established, but demons remain. After countless years of age, disaster returned, and everything was once again destroyed by the demon god who destroyed the world. After an unknown number of years, new creatures and new civilizations were born again, and the cycle began over and over again...... No matter how powerful the new creatures are, and how brilliant the civilization they have built, they will all be destroyed by the Great Apocalypse. In this almost endless cycle of reincarnation, I also learned how the demons unleashed a catastrophe to destroy everything...... The Demon King of the World, Philofit. He infuses the Codex of Destruction with the supreme power of fate, channeling the power within it to devour his set goals when the Demon Star Death Omen descends. When everything is done, take everything back into the Codex. ”
"Wait!" Hearing this, Phodames was surprised and hurriedly interrupted and asked, "The Demon King of the World, Philophyte?" What is that? ”
In the cognition of almost all living beings in this continent, there has always been only one Demon King who led the demon army in ancient times, and that is Speth, who was defeated by the Shining Sage Darthlet. Now that the matriarch has appeared in the mouth of the second Demon King of the World, such news is completely unimaginable to Fodames.
Of course, Fodamès's reaction was completely expected by the matriarch, and she didn't care about the interrupted words and slowly explained to Fodamès: "Yes, the Demon King of the World, the Demon God who controls the power of fate, is an extremely secretive existence compared to Spes. He commanded most of the Abyss Demon Lords, as direct subordinates, entrenched in the demon palace shrouded in darkness all year round, and usually never showed up, because of this, he was also an extremely mysterious existence to demons below the demon king level, not to mention other living beings, but he was indeed the true user of the catastrophe of exterminating living beings. In addition to him, the demon clan also has a world-destroying demon king Ende who has never seen the whole picture even me. ”
There are actually three Demon Kings of the World! The look of surprise in Fodamès's heart could not be concealed at all. He really couldn't believe all this that the matriarch said, but the other party really didn't have a reason to deceive him.
"I still don't know what role he played in the demons." The matriarch recalls the only time she infiltrated the Demon Palace, where she saw the Demon God Lotte unleash a catastrophe. That majestic power devastated, and I couldn't help but feel broken when I thought about it at this time. In the face of such power, he is not even as good as a grain of dust mustard and a wisp of fly ash. And after the terrifying power that destroyed everything returned to the hands of Luo Luofit, what appeared in front of him was the Demon King of the World Destroyer whom he called Ende, even if he only saw a towering back, but just the power that did not lose Luo Fei at all and the long sword that exuded strange energy in his hand was enough to make the matriarch feel an indescribable sense of oppression, and she didn't dare to leave after staying and observing for half a minute.
"I thought that the cycle created by the demons would go on endlessly, but you humans finally broke this cycle with the help of God. Most of the demons were sealed away along with Spes. The whereabouts of Philofeter and Ender are unknown...... Seriously, this is a victory I can't imagine, and before the war I was not optimistic about you and the so-called oracles who helped you. Therefore, as before, I mainly protect our people, and I rarely observe the war, let alone go deep into it. But the result is indeed that the Divine Messenger has helped you humans to work miracles. Perhaps this is providence. It was because of this miracle that I became interested in you, and began to observe you and understand you. I find you guys seem to have a special appeal to us as well. ”
"Attraction?" Fodames didn't quite understand the meaning of these three words.
"Blood ......" the matriarch faintly spat out the word: "Your blood is a kind of gourmet existence to us. Sweet and sweet, there is a deep temptation. ”
Hearing the matriarch say this, Fodamès's face turned displeased, revealing a look of displeasure and vigilance. In his cognition, many monsters really like to suck the blood of humans, they are the most dangerous enemies of humans, and now the matriarch is inevitably wary of this when she says this.
"Don't be nervous......," the matriarch sighed lightly and smiled to ease the atmosphere: "I have been able to resist this temptation well, and I believe that my people will be able to do it in the future, but this is not the case with my other compatriots who were released from the Code of Destruction nine years ago." ”
"Other compatriots? Nine years ago! Hearing the key word, Fodamès's heart shuddered, and the painful memories and irrepressible hatred resounded in his heart.
The matriarch nodded. He understood Phodames's reaction and replied slowly, "Yes, nine years ago, the demons re-launched the 'Eternal Extinguishment' to destroy your Silas and tried to spread throughout the empire, although you were eventually repulsed, but the Extinction Codex controlled by Philopher somehow appeared in the center of the 'Eternal Extinguishment' and was discovered and taken by you humans. And those creatures who were swallowed up by the Code of Destruction were released and suppressed in the 'Eternal Extinguishment' by the Code of Destruction for some reason, and the actions of your human beings have completely liberated them. The Wilwall you meet is one of the first creations to break out of the ban. And you are because of your own strength, coupled with the outburst of emotions, exacerbating the infection of the wound, making you their kind, although they will not accept you as their companion, but they have always admired the strong and respected, and they have also spared your life. They have been doing so for thousands of years that we have been fighting them. And I also judged from your size and appearance after meeting you that you are not Wilvor, but a human powerhouse who fought against them and was transformed. That's why the clansmen laid a trap to control you first. You just said that you are the captain of the Eagle Wings, and it seems that my judgment is not wrong. ”
"I see...... "At last the whole thing was clear, and Fodames muttered to himself, lost in thought. After a long time, he asked, "You said earlier that you could help me, and you want me to help you." How can you help me? And how can I help you now? "Having lost everything, Fodames is so depressed that he doesn't know what else he can do now.
