A Demon's Journey

Chapter 494 Cooperation Of Demons And Celestials



Due to Azaroth's actions, a power vacuum occurred in Outiva City. All the army officials in this city had died suddenly.

King Tryfon Rellas thought this was done by Coiled Gate Gang. But he didn't have conclusive proof against them and thus was hesitant to act.

Around this period, a well-known and influential group advanced toward Outiva City. This group had lately garnered a lot of popularity for resolving citizens' problems wherever it went. It was even referred to be a Force of Justice!

The one in charge was a gorgeous woman with an exceptional charisma that compelled others to follow her and obey her commands.

The leader of this group was none other than Laura.

After Azaroth decided to join Yrellea in Outiva City, he sent a message to Laura, asking her to lead her group in this city.

Thus, Laura subtly led her group to a town near Outiva City and completed some missions there when she suddenly heard of the massive news regarding Outiva City. She knew it was Azaroth's signal and immediately ordered her followers to advance towards Outiva City.

The public was likely to be bewildered following the deaths of all officials in command of Outiva City. As people panicked, the situation would soon degenerate. Humans had never been very adept at making judgments when they were terrified.

At that moment, Laura was going to act as a support for them to lean on.

If news spread in the Glerian Kingdom that Laura's group managed to calm down the rattled public in Outiva City, their prestige would greatly increase. In fact, it wouldn't just be their prestige, but the King would re-evaluate the worth of Laura's group.

Laura's group held the public opinion and had an impressive ability to calm down the public. Not many groups could achieve that in the Glerian Kingdom.

King Tryfon was bound to secretly contact Laura to recruit her for the Royal Family's cause.

The situation was quite urgent. The public support was wavering due to Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect's declaration of war. Many sects were supporting the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect's cause, and this was weakening the Glerian Kingdom from within.

First and foremost, he wanted to re-establish citizens' trust in the Royal Family. The populace had to think that the Royal Family was legitimate and that they deserved to reign.

Typically, gaining the support of someone like Laura wouldn't be a very challenging task for King Tryfon.

However, King Tryfon had no idea that Laura was one of Azaroth's retainers. In fact, now that Azaroth had reached the Demon King rank, he had gotten a lot bolder.

He didn't feel the need to be scared of anyone in the Glerian Kingdom. Even if a 7 Star Warrior appeared, Azaroth could escape by using Void Steps. Each step allowed Azaroth to cross a large distance that was impossible to traverse, even for a 7 Star Warrior. Well, that was only true if the 7 Star Warrior hadn't gained insight into the Spatial Element.

This was highly unlikely, though. It was considered extremely difficult for a human to gain insight into the Spatial Element. At least, that was true during Azaroth's previous life.

However, this fact might no longer hold true in the current era. Perhaps normal people could still not gain insight into the Spatial Element, but people like Dylan and members of the Royal Family were beyond Azaroth's understanding.

Maybe they gained an inherent ability that allowed them to gain insight into the Spatial Element. Azaroth couldn't underestimate the Fate Energy, after all.

After breaking through to the Demon King rank, he noticed that the laws of the world had changed. No…It would be more appropriate to say that some laws had become stronger while some had gotten weaker.

Taking his vast experience into account, Azaroth made a bold guess.

'After my death, the human race rose to prominence. The human race must have given rise to multiple 9 Star Warriors who broke through by using some rather rare laws which resulted in the current situation.'

'Just a single 9 Star Warrior can change the working of the world. I can't even imagine the result if multiple 9 Star Warriors emerged from a single race! Perhaps this is the reason that the Celestials and the Demon Race have temporarily given up on this continent. Just by itself, the human race must hold at least two 9 Star Warriors.'

'According to the current situation, it would be prudent to assume that these 9 Star Warriors are still alive. But this shouldn't stop the Demon Race or Celestial Race. It wouldn't be the first time they are joining hands.'

That was right. This partnership was considered a forbidden secret for both races. It was during the time when the Demon Race raided the Elven Kingdom!

In reality, the Elven Kingdom was a rather mysterious place, and its exact location was known only to selected individuals. The Elven Kingdom was at the time aligned with the Celestial Race; hence the Celestial Race was well aware of their precise location.

The Celestial Race knew that the Demon Race planned to raid the Elven Kingdom. Thus, they informed the Demon Race of the Elven Kingdom's exact location in return for a sizeable amount of resources only found in Purgatory.

The Celestial Race betrayed the Elven Kingdom in return for great benefits because they knew of the Yggdrasil's abilities. They knew that even if the Elven Kingdom suffered greatly, it wouldn't fall as long as this tree existed.

Yggdrasil's abilities could be considered on the same level as that of 9 Star Warriors or even beyond them. It would move the forces of nature, and only the Elf Queen could communicate with it!

Thus, the Celestials were very confident that the Demon Race was going to suffer terribly if they attacked the Elven Kingdom. In a sense, the Demon Race was paying for its own suffering.

Although numerous innocent elves would die, the Celestial Race wasn't much concerned about them.

The elves amount to very little as compared to the total population of the Frascoia Continent. Thus, the faith energy they could provide the Celestials was a tiny amount. It could even be considered a drop in the ocean.

After the Demon Venerable by injured by the Elf Queen's attacks, the demons suffered greatly. Numerous Demon Emperors and even Demon Gods fell.

The Celestial Race took advantage of the Demon Race's weakness and launched a large-scale attack on all demons which nearly purged them!

During that time, Azaroth distinguished himself by killing multiple Archangels and even a God while he was only a Demon Emperor! He walked the path of the Blood Demon Emperor, and his combat power was very impressive.

His combat power wasn't just because he possessed great power. In reality, power couldn't have allowed him to dominate or kill a God Ranked Expert.

He could only kill a God through trickery and gaining information of all his abilities beforehand!

As he continued to become stronger, Azaroth finally reached the Demon God Rank. After becoming a Demon God, Azaroth began to scheme against his fellow comrades.

He had always been suspicious of the relationship between the Demons and the Celestials. Thus, he started Demon Gods and read their souls. Through this method, he found multiple forbidden secrets that he shouldn't have known.

One such secret was this assault on the Elven Kingdom!

Even today, the Elven Kingdom had no clue that their closest allies had betrayed them in exchange for great benefits.

However, Azaroth knew that even if he informed the Elven Kingdom of this information today, they wouldn't be rattled. Numerous eras had passed, and there was no evidence to support Azaroth's words.

Anyway, Azaroth was more concerned about the current situation. He couldn't understand why the Celestials and Demons hadn't teamed up once again to deal with the troublesome humans.

He did have a theory, but it terrified him slightly. He thought 'Does that mean something is preventing them from acting against the human race? If so, what's that? Are the 9 Star Warriors of the Human Race more formidable than the Demon Venerable and the Primordial God combined? No. That can't be possible.'
