Chapter 420 Weird Impostor
Everyone stared dumbfounded at the image released from the crystal: it was the demonic form of Yzaks.
The huge demon on the screen seems to be standing on a piece of scorched earth full of cracks. Under his feet is the red and burning land, and behind him is a twisted chaos that seems to be the door leading to the endless dark abyss. The demon's body is scarred and melted. Molten iron dripped onto the ground along his wounds. The iconic broken horns and body are undoubtedly Yzaks.
Around the screen, you can see countless similarly scarred demons of various types, guarding their leader like knights who still swear loyalty in desperate situations. The background in the distance of the picture is turbid, and it is impossible to see where the image was left.
"I once almost ruled the entire world," the "Yzaks" on the image made a rumbling voice. "My failure is nothing... There will be new demons who will take over the artifact I left behind and take charge of this kind of thing again." Power enough to rule the world! I will bury my infinite power and wisdom in the Obsidian Plain. Within a thousand years, a new Demon King will be born, take over my scepter, and destroy your weak and broken world!"
Then the screen flashed, and "Yzaks" in the image and the last remaining hundreds of demons around him turned around and jumped into the door leading to endless darkness, as if they did not want to be so weak as humans. He was defeated by a creature and actively chose to exile himself to a different space forever.
The image content is only that long, and what follows is an indistinguishable chaotic scene.
Everyone at the scene looked at each other in confusion. Vivian held it in for a long time and couldn't help it anymore: "I think... that seems to be the big guy."
There were no fewer question marks on Yzaks' head than others. He scratched his bald head inexplicably: "But I don't remember saying these words before I left... I don't even remember that I had any artifacts or anything like that. When people were beaten like that, who would have the time to plan for a successor a thousand years later?"
While Nangong Wuyue taught Doudou to spin in the water, he raised his head and asked, "Don't you really have a long-lost brother or a younger brother?"
Yzaks rolled his eyes in return. Obviously, it would be enough for a fierce man like him to give birth to one in tens of thousands of years. No matter how heroic the mother is, she may not be able to give birth to two demon kings at the same time. Next to her, La Nina also frowned: "I feel like there's something wrong with the man in the picture. Although the image is very close and the details of his speech and movements are also very close, I always feel that there is still a difference between him and Wang. In terms of temperament... and The difference in momentum. In addition, the demonic activities in the image are a little stiff, giving people a very deliberate feeling."
"Is it an impostor?" Vivian raised her eyebrows, "Who could have done it?"
"It's hard to say," La Nina spread her hands, "I can't see the point. Pretending to be a 'dead' demon king and leaving this last message will not bring any benefits. The only benefit is to make the coalition forces suffer for a period of time. Chaos, but the chaos will not last. No matter how firm the coalition's belief is, they will not stay in the demon world for a thousand years just for a 'prophecy'. And even if it is a fake... the demon in the image does have some similarities to the king, so People are very suspicious of its identity.”
"A demon who looks almost exactly like Y'zaks left such a thing behind." Hao Ren touched his chin and looked at the crystal with interest. "It seems that the big Yuwei is really not simple. Is this... You want to appear as the new Demon King in a few years, so you want to create public opinion in advance now?"
No one said anything, because the strange situation made it impossible for them to even guess. But after holding it in for a while, Lily suddenly didn't know which nerve got on the line again. She suddenly clapped her hands happily: "Hey, I found something suspicious!"
Everyone immediately stared at the husky. The latter didn't show off, pointed at the crystal and asked, "Who do you think was holding the crystal to record the video?"
Everyone: "..."
"You thought about it for a long time and you came up with this?" Vivian couldn't laugh or cry, "Does it make sense for someone to record the video with the crystal?"
"Yes," Lily said matter-of-factly, "When you are about to commit suicide, will you hire a photographer to follow you? The scene on the screen looks like a battlefield. In this case, there is a cameraman. Don’t you think it’s weird to hold up equipment and take pictures of a big man who died generously? A photographer just happened to pass by somewhere - and look at the last picture.”
Lily said, asking La Nina to play the picture again, and asked everyone to pay attention to the scene when Yzaks led the demons into the dark gate: "Pay attention here, the picture jumped up, and then immediately suppressed - this It proves that the crystal was not placed on the ground, but was held by someone. The screen jumped up because the hand of the person holding the crystal was cramped, or it may be to express impassioned emotions..."
At the end of the picture, the dark door slowly closed, but the scene continued for a while. Lily also explained this: "Obviously, the person in charge of the camera is still outside the portal and has not entered..."
Vivian was dumbfounded: "Big Dog's new approach... sometimes works well."
Hao Ren didn't expect Lily to think about the problem from this direction. He rubbed Lily's hair: "What about your conclusion?"
"Staging," Lily nodded, "First of all, I can be sure that this image was directed by a director, and it is all actors. Secondly, the recording place should be somewhere in the devil's space. The blurred vision is probably to conceal the real shooting location. And Secondly, the person who left these things should be the people around the big man: he was very familiar with the big man, and he was able to get this crystal, and more importantly, he also found a demon who looked almost exactly like the big man to be his idol. Starring, this man has a profound plan.”
Hao Ren was so impressed by Lily's idea that he quickly took out a bag of spicy strips to reward the girl. Meanwhile, Y'zaks began to seriously think about who he met with these characteristics - especially those who looked similar to himself. Who are the Fire Demon Lords? The look on his face changed, and he soon had several suspects.
But those suspects should have died in the middle of the war.
Unless their deaths were faked...
"Anyway, this matter must be investigated," Hao Ren decided. "It is too unethical to do this kind of thing after a person's death. We can't let the big man die in peace..."
As soon as Hao Ren finished speaking, Nina glared at him fiercely, while Vivian poked Hao Ren's arm hard at the side: "You can't hold it in if you don't know how to speak!"
"We can guess these things, but the coalition forces can't?" Nangong Wuyue asked curiously, "Could they also tell from the details in the image that it was staged?"
"It's not necessarily true," Yzaks grinned, "At least they haven't thought of it yet. Our world is different from the Earth. We don't have the concept of staged photography here - let alone Suicide live broadcast..."
Finally, Yzaks stood up and said, "Anyway, I have to investigate this matter and find out who is doing this through my 'fument'."
"Do you have any plans?" Hao Ren looked up at Yzaks.
Yzaks lowered his head and pondered for a moment: "I decided to go to Cadhus."
Lily immediately became happy when she heard it was a fresh place name: "Where is Cadhus?!"
Nangong Wuyue, who was next to him, sighed: "I hope it won't be drier than here... I can't stand the environment in the Devil's Space anymore."
Yzaks laughed: "Don't worry, Cardsius is a very suitable place for you - it is the territory of mankind, the most prosperous settlement in the human world."
Hao Ren was greatly surprised. He thought that if Yzaks wanted to track down the "fake", he would naturally go to the other eight demon planes to look for clues. However, he did not expect that the next stop would be the human kingdom: "You go to the human kingdom to look for clues." ?Aren’t we looking for the devil who looks the same as you?”
"Sometimes it's better to take another route," La Nina had already guessed Yzaks's thoughts and explained on her behalf, "There are ten demon planes, and each one is vast and is controlled by a powerful demon king. Domination, it is too dangerous to explore information in those places. On the other hand, Cardsius is the headquarters of the human world. Although various races in the human world have civil wars with each other, on the whole they are enemies of the demon plane, so they The largest distribution center has been established with the Cardesh space as the hub. There are warlock temples and various institutions that specialize in studying the demonic space. They send countless spies every day to detect the situation in the demonic plane. We can learn about other demons through there. The general situation of space, there is no need to put yourself in danger. It may be difficult for humans to see the deep secrets of the demon world from those messages, but we are senior demons, and we may be able to find some clues from the warlocks of Caddisius .”
"And the most important thing," Yzaks grinned, "our group is really eye-catching in the demon plane."
"Okay," Hao Ren clapped his hands, "Let's go to Cardsius! But then again...how to get there?"
"This is simple." Yzaks pointed to the obsidian that could be seen everywhere around him. "First dig a few pieces of obsidian and build a portal..."
