Chapter 157: The Truth of Approach
Demon redemption?
The demons in the game have always brought only destruction.
This point is even reached within the demons.
In the history of the demons, there are countless worlds that have been destroyed by the demons.
From the tragic war between humans and demons, you can also peek into one or two.
Liao Yu remembered that this war, which lasted for a hundred years, almost reduced the world's population by more than two-thirds.
The reason why the current "Second Week" demon clan has not brought much damage to the world is because of himself, the demon king, and the last defeat was really too miserable, and it should also be the first time in history that the demon clan has tasted "failure".
Otherwise, it can be seen from the initial combat meeting when he first came.
If he didn't intervene, although the wise demon Leon advocated caution, almost all the other apostles were still mainly based on the direct army to suppress the realm, and it was inevitable that the lives would be destroyed.
As a result, now through memory, the mentor in his own game, and the great guardian of all mankind at that time, the super-position sorcerer who stood at the top of the magic pyramid, Melvin in the last codex, called it salvation?
Liao Yu before he was replaced must be as incomprehensible as Khazar.
When he was in the game, he thought that the demons were brutal by nature, and they were representatives of pure "evil", and they were classic villains.
However, after really descending on the side of the demons, Liao Yu found out that the demons were not like this.
It's a cliché to say that, but they're flesh and blood.
There are also a variety of emotions.
And with unlocking the Demon King's lifetrack little by little, and having a deeper understanding of Liao Yu after the Demon Clan, I realized that the fundamental reason that drives the Demon Race to keep destroying the world is a sentence to put it bluntly.
Won't farm.
They don't seem to have thought about "development and construction" from the bottom of their bones.
Obviously, the world has been defeated, but he doesn't want to develop, and he won't develop, and as a result, after "emptying" the old capital of this world, he can only find the next one in order to survive.
This also leads to the fact that the number of demon races has never been able to rise, and there are tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people like humans, which is simply a fantasy for the demon race.
If you can't farm, it's doomed that the demons must continue to plunder, and the frequent conquest of various worlds also limits the number of demon races.
No matter how strong the magic demon Dadaya is, it is impossible to say that it can make millions of demons travel through the world at will.
Therefore, the demon race under normal conditions usually only retains the core "nine" apostle group, and as for the remaining demon population, just leave a small part.
After arriving in the target world, the "Demon Breeding" will start the riot, and through plunder, like an arsenal, the population of the demon race will increase dramatically in a short period of time.
After the end of the war, in order to save resources, this part of the extra population will be actively reduced.
And so on, and so on, and so on.
As long as the demons have maintained their crushing combat effectiveness, this system can actually operate forever.
pity
In the human world, the demons have hit a wall.
Monsters like the "Brave" appeared.
However, in Liao Yu's opinion, this is indeed a huge blow to the demons.
But it's more like freeing the demons from the "curse of power".
The demons, who had been sealed in the Chaos Rift for thousands of years and had nowhere to plunder, finally pointed out the "farming" technology tree in order to survive, so that they could survive in that barren crack.
It is precisely because of this that the Wisdom Demon is the first to awaken and realize that destruction and plunder are not the only way out for the Demon Race, and perhaps they should also learn from the human race, the race that can develop and build the most.
In other words, the one from before, invincible, invincible, for other world races, the demons who are all trembling, is it possible to awaken these? Obviously impossible, not for many lifetimes.
Illinois can be said to be the first kingdom that the demons have defeated.
It is also the first kingdom in the history of the demon race that was not destroyed, but conquered.
Even though there is the influence of his own demon king, there is also the influence of his own demon king.
But being able to achieve this feat shows that in the hearts of the Nine Ambassadors, the ideology of the demon race is also quietly changing.
Oh yes, Liao Yu almost forgot.
Slaughtering the demons is definitely indispensable.
Speaking of demons.
Liao Yu thought of a piece of information that Zhi Mo had reported to him in private before.
That was not long after the elimination of Gu Luodan.
The apostle died, and the rest of the demons also prospered and lost, and immediately lost their status as the nine major races, and were directly arrested and imprisoned.
Originally, Leon wanted to imprison and wait for himself to decide what to do with these demons.
As a result, before Leon could wait for him, this group of imprisoned demons changed.
Put simply, their bodies begin to change on their own.
On the first day of imprisonment, the demons became agitated, not mentally, but physically, and some even began to shake the bars of their cells.
On the second day of imprisonment, many demons began to curl up on the ground, and their movements were much weaker, and according to the description of the jailers who imprisoned the demons at the time, it seemed that their bodies were still twitching.
On the third day, when Leon went to see the demons again, he found that they had strange pieces of flesh on their bodies, and these pieces of flesh began to eat away at their bodies like a plague.
And on the fourth day, Leon wanted to observe more, but when he opened the door again, he found that the demons were all dead, and they were dead beyond recognition, and from the corpses, there was no way to see the appearance of the demons before they were born, only a lump of flesh dripping with blood.
This is obviously too weird.
Leon immediately suppressed the news and announced that he had only executed all the demons, and only reported the anomaly to Liao Yu privately.
At that time, Liao Yu, although he also felt strange, didn't care too much.
I thought it was just that Gu Luodan might have used some evil magic on his subordinates, similar to my death, and the other demons didn't want to live? In this way, they strengthen their position.
In Liao Yu's opinion, this is something that the evil demon can do, so after Gu Luodan died unexpectedly, the evil demon clan was all finished.
But now go back and look at it again
The pieces of flesh that had increased on the demon's body were almost identical to those of his companions who had mutated into monsters in the memory of Khazar.
There must be a connection between the two.
Probably from the same "weird" power.
Plus, the name of the demon.
"Evil" demons.
Liao Yu didn't think it would be a coincidence.
All the clues seem to point to a key word evil god.
Thousands of years ago, Freya, the Radiant Saintess, called herself a "brave man" an evil god who polluted her companions and turned them all into monsters.
From the perspective of her companion Khazar, Freya is the evil god, and the saint has framed her companions for various crimes, or directly arrested them in prison.
And then in prison, "assimilate" these companions one by one into flesh monsters?
This also explains why the human civilization after a thousand years will be so regressive, even the third-order spells are extremely rare, and the fourth-order is regarded as a treasure.
The group of human elites thousands of years ago, grandmaster-level figures in various fields, seemed to have been wiped out by Freya.
This led to the direct interruption of the inheritance of human beings.
And from the Illinois side later, I also learned that the empire also issued the "Prohibition of the Spread of Magic" convention, which has been maintained for hundreds of years.
Under this convention, no human country was allowed to teach magic to the common people on a large scale, and only a very small number of nobles were able to learn it, and the high-level magic was almost completely confiscated and destroyed by the empire.
All of this adds up to evolve into the current human world, which is incomparably "low-magic".
The seemingly messy fragments of information seem to form an understandable logical chain under Liao Yu's collation and patchwork.
Known one, the demons continue to plunder the higher worlds, yes, only the higher worlds.
The low-level world demons don't bother to invade, and there is nothing to invade, just like only robbing the gentry, not the civilians, refugees are a truth, and the resources produced by the low-level world are not enough for the demons to run.
Then, according to this known one, and then extrapolating the behavior of the Radiant Holy Maiden thousands of years ago, it seems that it can be explained.
Freya didn't know that there were no other demons outside of the world.
That's why you chose to abolish your martial arts, lower your world level, and "protect" the world in this way?
If there is no next "known three", Liao Yu may think so.
Can.
Known three, Melvin's last codex last words wrote that the demons were. Salvation.
It's normal for the Radiant Maiden not to know anything beyond the world.
But Melvin is different.
This great guardian can really be separated from the world and spy on the existence of the universe.
At the beginning, the elven world was discovered by Melvin and then took the initiative to contact it.
Melvin should have seen too many worlds destroyed by demons.
In the plot of the game, the great guardian is because he is well-informed and knows that the horror of the demon race will only bring destruction, so he resolutely chooses to sacrifice himself and save himself as a brave man.
But now it seems.
Could it be that he was misled by the "game", or was it all just an illusion that Melvin pretended?
Melvin can see "destruction" as salvation.
That only illustrates.
What could be more terrible than "destruction".
