Chapter 126 The Origin of Demons

Time goes back to 3 minutes before the palace was shaken.

On the luxurious and huge invisible passenger plane, Milton walked out of the box carefully and walked towards the cabin where the prisoners were held.

"Mr. Vice President."

Along the way, the guards in the cabin saluted him respectfully. Milton looked dignified, completely different from before.

Soon, Milton appeared in front of 1,000 terrified prisoners.

Although these guys are scum who kill and set fires and do all kinds of evil, they are not afraid of death in their bones, especially when facing unknown death.

Anyone who wakes up and finds himself in the sky with a strange symbol drawn on his chest will be terrified.

Especially in recent decades, a terrifying legend has been circulating in the prisons of neighboring countries.

The sovereign country, the Nulis Federation, is conducting an extremely evil experiment. On certain days, the most vicious and cruel guys on death row will disappear collectively.

No one knows where they were taken, and no one has ever seen them again.

Unfortunately, it was their turn this time.

······

"Look, what a pathetic bunch of cowards."

"Where is your courage to do all kinds of evil before?"

"Or are you guys only bullying the weak to vent your inner cowardice and ugliness."

Milton taunted the prisoners with a proud face.

The effect was obvious. The bad guys never accepted criticism from anyone. They always felt that the people around them and the whole world were wrong.

"Asshole, if you have the guts, let me go and fight one-on-one."

"What do you know about these big-bellied dignitaries? You are a bunch of human parasites."

"Don't mess with those messy ones. You can kill or shave them as you like."

There are always thorns among the bad guys. Under their leadership, the prisoners immediately became ferocious.

They began to become aggressive, with fierce eyes, and the guards around them instantly felt like they were facing a great enemy.

Milton watched all this with satisfaction, and remained calm and composed from beginning to end.

In the level that these prisoners cannot see, groups of black air are constantly being drawn out and merged into the strange symbols on their chests.

"Good, very good!"

"Keep your current state."

"Although you are all scum, scum is also useful."

"I am honored to tell you that you are free!"

"Isn't it incredible? But this does not mean that you can survive."

"If you want to survive, struggle hard."

Milton waved his hand, and the guards on the side began to distribute parachutes to these prisoners.

The death row prisoners were shocked and a little confused, but they instinctively grabbed the parachutes in their hands.

"Open the cabin later and throw them down together."

Milton gave orders to the guards on the side, and then walked towards the cabin where the expert team was.

Compared with the death row prisoners who were just consumables, those incredible monitoring instruments were what he needed to focus on.

That was "high-tech" that could observe high-level psychic reactions, and only big countries had the strength and technology to manufacture it.

To put it bluntly, if there is a problem with any part, even if the Nulis Federation is sold, it can't afford to pay.

Shortly after Milton left, the metal cabin under the feet of the prisoners slowly opened, and they fell into the dark night without any reaction.

During this period, the entire passenger plane quietly levitated above the Blue Taro Country, maintaining absolute stillness.

"Ahhhhh!"

The prisoners who fell from high school performed all kinds of ugly things in the night sky.

They have not received parachute training, and whether they can survive depends entirely on their own performance.

Soon, their altitude dropped to 3 kilometers.

And it was at this moment that all the prisoners felt as if they were being stared at by some terrifying existence.

Many timid guys fell into a state of unconsciousness and didn't even open their parachutes.

Fortunately, this feeling was only a moment, and they returned to normal after crossing that critical point.

In the night, parachutes opened one after another and floated to various parts of the Blue Taro Country.

Occasionally, some unlucky people fell to the ground and turned into mud, which can be regarded as making some contributions to the development of the microbial world.

On the plane, the expert team controlled the instruments and monitored the entire process.

Soon, a bunch of dense numbers appeared on the screen.

Half a minute later, Milton took the final test report and walked towards the luxury box.

It was also when the prisoners entered the 3,000-meter limit that the turmoil in the palace began.

······

"According to the information I collected through the Demon Slayer Association and the information I got from Crozer Zeke, the essence of the game is composed of two forces."

"To be more precise, [Black Death Prison] is composed of two conflicting forces."

"The King's Game created by Gutav is just a transformation and expansion of [Black Death Prison]."

"According to the exploration and trial of successive generations of players, one of these two forces is biased towards order and is committed to eliminating sin."

"The other has a terrifying devouring evolutionary ability and can devour any life."

"The original Black Death Prison was obviously a weak balance between the two forces."

"That is, only those with sins will be devoured!"

"In the initial version of the King's Game, Gutav chose to strengthen order and suppress another devouring force."

"Because Gutav needs to use order to create eternal life for himself, rather than simply pursuing power."

"So the only rule in the King's Game is Judgment Day."

"The devouring evolution of cards has never been part of the game rules."

"Its birth was driven by the players!"

"It was the players who were eager for power who took the initiative to choose the devouring evolution power."

"That was in the third round of the King's Game, and there must be a powerful external force involved, otherwise it would not be enough to change the game mode."

"This key node is the bloody coup. In order to keep his body, Gutaf had to use another kind of power to derive flesh and blood."

"This also means that he loosened the suppression of another power. Although it was only a short moment, it was equivalent to breaking the balance again."

"As for why Gutaf wanted to keep his body, of course it was because he had just become a demon at that time, and he had not even completed the transformation. The body was still extremely important."

In the turbulent palace, Yuwen Yong sorted out his thoughts in his mind, waiting for the appearance of the demon.

He was originally a demon hunter apprentice. In order to become a real demon hunter, he came to the inner ring world.

The demon hunter is an ancient inheritance. To complete the awakening, a very special medium is needed, the demon breath.

Generally speaking, the promotion process of demon hunters is like this.

Find the trace of a demon, collect enough demon aura, complete spiritual awakening, and become a demon man.

But this is not the end, but the beginning.

Because the next thing the demon hunter has to do is to kill the demon and devour its power.

This is the only way for demon hunters to improve their strength. Otherwise, their strength will not increase at all.

After killing the demon, the demon hunter will look for a new target, merge the aura of other demons, and start a new cycle.

In the outer ring world, the demons are too powerful and are not suitable for demon hunter apprentices to be promoted.

Therefore, Yuwen Yong and his apprentices will enter the inner ring world to search for their targets.

This is tacitly approved by the world government, because there are endless weak demons in the inner ring world.

······

Demons are a general term. Their origins are extremely ancient and have accompanied generations of intelligent civilizations.

There is only one way for demons to be produced, that is, a stupid intelligent life sacrifices its soul.

This behavior is naturally intolerable for any intelligent civilization.

Because it is damaging the foundation and potential of the entire civilization.

When the first intelligent life was born, his descendants automatically gained the ability to connect to higher-dimensional points.

Then a question arises, are his descendants connected to the same higher-dimensional point?

Answer: [Yes]!

Even if the point in the higher dimension begins to fall, for the life in the three-dimensional world, it is impossible to see its full picture.

Any descendant after the ancestor is only connected to one face of that higher-dimensional point.

As for how many faces can the point in the higher dimension differentiate?

For the life in the three-dimensional world, it is infinite.

Therefore, any life in the tribe can have its own soul, and can even claim that the higher-dimensional point it is connected to is unique to it.

Because the soul is indeed his own.

But if we rise to the perspective of higher dimensions, the intelligent life of the same tribe is indeed connected to the same point.

The behavior of individual life sacrificing [soul] is naturally a betrayal of the entire tribe.

Because he directly destroyed a certain face of the higher-dimensional point, the essence is to accelerate its fall.

No matter how many souls an individual life sacrifices, even if it is 0.000001, it is an unforgivable betrayal.

Therefore, as long as it is an intelligent civilization, there is no one who does not hate demons. Once they are found, they must be destroyed.

This is also the reason why the profession of demon hunter has not been suppressed by the world government.

······

From the perspective of humans, demons are divided into low-level demons, middle-level demons and high-level demons.

The standard for this division is the soul scale of the demon.

Generally speaking, as long as an intelligent life sacrifices its soul, that is, as long as his soul is defective, his soul scale will fall.

The soul scale of ordinary humans is 6, which is the basic line of humans.

With this as the dividing line, demons with soul scales higher than 6 are [high-level demons].

Demons with soul scales = 6 are middle-level demons.

As for demons with soul scales lower than 6, they are naturally low-level demons.

As for those idiots who have no souls, of course they have died long ago.

The reasons why demons choose to sacrifice their souls are different, and the benefits they get are naturally different.

But the reason why they are called [Demons] is, of course, because they have something in common.

After these guys lost their souls, or after the sacrifice, the connection between consciousness and soul became closer.

As a result, they gave birth to an ability called [Demon's Eye].

Of course, demons call it the Eye of Soul.

They claim that they can see the souls of other lives and penetrate their consciousness.

But according to the research of demon hunters over the generations, it is found that this is purely a lie by demons.

What they can see is nothing more than the projection of the soul in the three-dimensional world, that is, the special soul dimension promoted by the [Dimensionality Reduction School].

But they can only see a vague shadow.

Most demons are low-level demons, who can only stare blankly and cannot exert any influence at all.

What a demon can really have an impact on most lives is the demonic aura it produces.

Once the soul is missing, its tendency to decay is unstoppable. A small part of the devil's soul is falling off and annihilating every moment.

Demonic breath is a power born from the mixture of annihilated souls and demonic consciousness and spirituality.

This is also a force that can pollute spirituality, but the wonderful thing is that it can only have an impact on life when life can feel its presence.

Ordinary people's perception of the world relies heavily on their physical organs, and their soul scale is higher than that of [low-level demons], so although it is incredible, generally speaking, [low-level demons] cannot bewitch them at all.

But equally, they can't tell the difference between demons.

On the contrary, apprentices or extraordinary beings, because of their active spirituality, can easily sense the demonic aura and will be affected by it.

Generally speaking, as long as the contact time is not long, or the strength is not much different, this effect is very slight.

But if they are directly targeted by demons, or if their strengths are too different, it will be difficult to tell.

······

"Seventeen years ago, I heard rumors about Alcatraz Island and came here."

"I'm very lucky. Not only did I collect the devil's aura, but I also became a player."

"Or maybe it's because I became a player that I can collect the devil's breath."

"Because the demon codenamed [King] can spread demonic aura to players through the King Game."

"Use the power of King's Game to influence ordinary humans, and use your own demonic aura to seduce and influence game players."

"In this way, Gutav can completely secure the throne."

"It's so interconnected, this is what Gutav designed when he founded the game."

"It's a pity that it couldn't withstand external interference, and the newly born [King] Demon at that time was still very weak and had limited ability to confuse, so the bloody coup happened."

"Starting from the third round of the game, another devouring force emerged, and the cards mutated. The demonic aura emitted by the king was directly devoured by the cards, so players will naturally not be bewitched by demons."

"If it had continued to evolve, the devouring power might have completely broken free from the constraints of order and swallowed everything."

"But the two actually reached a balance again, and even completed a deep integration. From then on, King's Game entered combat mode, and the devouring and fusion of cards was also an order."

"After the game is updated, although the king can still spread the demonic aura through the game, due to the isolation of the cards after the mutation, the impact has been minimal."

"This is why it is difficult for lawful people to be bewitched by demons."

"It is also with the help of this convenience that I can easily obtain the devil's breath and complete the awakening to become a real demon hunter."

"Next, in order to hunt down this demon named King, I have to embark on the path of card fusion."

"Once you become a traitor, unless you build an apostle's army, it will be impossible to completely eliminate the conflict between the cards."

"If there is a conflict within the card, it is natural that it can no longer isolate the devil's aura. This is why the betrayer is easily bewitched by the devil."

"But I'm different. I use the devil's breath to spiritually awaken, and I have very strong resistance."

"This is also the reason why demon hunters dare to hunt demons. They can even help others get rid of the influence of demonic aura."

Yuwen Yong quietly recalled the past, and the turmoil in the palace became more and more intense.

If the king does not appear, this turmoil will continue until balance is reached again.

This time may be a long, long time. During this period, the game will be completely shut down and the player's cards will lose their superpowers.

Only King Gutav can quickly heal all this.
