Magic Chronicles : Fallen Race

The tall silhouette in the mirror did not change in response to the dissatisfaction and questioning of the Wicked Demon.

On the contrary.

With a voice clearly modified by sorcery, making it impossible to discern whether it was male or female, it said in a very calm tone, "Don't be nervous, it's just an additional small experiment."

"A small experiment!?"

Upon hearing this, Lordan's eyebrows furrowed even more.

Although the Wicked Demon was not summoned by Reji, as one of the apostles, Lordan was still able to obtain information about the internal affairs of the demon race, such as Eris's report on the analysis of the eggs.

It was no surprise to Lordan that the eggs would contain the bloodline inheritance of the demon race.

However, the fact that the eggs were not just similar in appearance to the insect race, but had truly inherited the core of the insect race, and were even constructed based on the insect race's blood and flesh ritual, was the root cause of Lordan's current dissatisfaction and feeling of being deceived.

The Wicked Demon quickly became angry and said, "I provided you with the blood and flesh of the demon race for your promised 'Demon-Human' project, but your so-called small experiment has turned the entire project into your own private pasture!"

According to the Decay Demon's report, these eggs usually did not cause any harm when they parasitized their hosts, and even accelerated the hosts' strength. However, once they came into contact with the "Queen," all the nutrients and power would be absorbed by the "Queen."

Lordan had high expectations for the "Demon-Humans," as they would be the key force for him to lead the demon race in returning to the world and defeating humanity. But now, everything had become someone else's 'wedding dress'.

It was no wonder that the Wicked Demon was so angry now.

"Rest assured, Lordan, they will still be of use to you, helping you wash away the humiliation of the demon race a thousand years ago, gaining prestige among the demon race, earning the submission of other apostles, and helping you become the Demon King."

"And I, with the help of you demons, will eliminate the remaining human forces in the world that resist me."

"You will obtain the throne of the Demon King, rule the demon race, leave to continue plundering other worlds, and I will obtain the throne of the Emperor, ruling over humans in my world."

"Isn't this our agreement from a thousand years ago?"

"However, the current 'Emperor' is much stronger than I imagined. This small experiment of mine is just in case, so that when you truly descend, I can also let you have the highest authority to absorb the power of the 'Eggs.'"

Upon hearing the tall shadow say that he too could absorb the power of the "Eggs" and possess the authority of the "Queen," Lordan's dissatisfaction and questioning subsided somewhat.

Now it was the tall shadow's turn to question Lordan, as if retaliating. The shadowy person expressed dissatisfaction and questioned Lordan, "Don't just talk about me, Lordan. What about you?

I remember that the most important item in our agreement a thousand years ago was to interfere with your demon race's new Demon King summoning ceremony, right?"

"But the information I received is that the new Demon King has already been born and has not only been successfully summoned but has also become the strongest one in the history of your race?"

Lordan's expression was not good when this was brought up.

The Wicked Demon was secretly shocked that the other side already knew about their demon race's internal information after just a few days. Meanwhile, Lordan was also troubled and confused about the "Demon King Summoning."

"You know that the birth of the new Demon King is of no benefit to me."

The shadow said, "Of course, so I trust you, Lordan, but trust and disappointment are two different things."

Lordan was silent for a while, as if hesitating.

But in the end, he chose to tell the tall shadow on the other side more about what had happened.

"I did indeed interfere with the summoning ceremony. Among the nine apostles, including myself, five did not attend the ceremony, accounting for more than half. But I don't know why the ceremony was still successful, and even..."

The Wicked Demon recounted the events of that day to the other side.

Reji, in front of the entire demon race, defeated the strongest Great Demon and Sword Demon single-handedly, establishing his prestige with just one battle.

The unprecedented strength of the new Demon King had already taken root in the hearts of the demon race, and it would be difficult to shake it in the short term.

The tall shadow on the other side of the mirror didn't interrupt and listened quietly.

After listening to the Wicked Demon's description of the terrifying sea of flowers formed under Hektor's "Malice Blooms" domain at that time, the blurry expression of the tall shadow seemed to show some contemplation.

Soon after the Wicked Demon finished recounting these events, the shadow quickly asked, "The summoning ceremony should have been presided over by the Wisdom Demon, right? Did you give the 'Wicked Demon's Soul' to Leo?"

It was clear that the tall shadow was very knowledgeable about the demon race.

Not only did the shadow know the name of the Wisdom Demon Leo, but the shadow also knew the steps of the Demon King's summoning ceremony and even the 'Wicked Demon's Soul.'

A normal Demon King summoning would require all nine apostles to be present and for the essence of the nine major races of the demon race to be offered at the altar, increasing the Demon King's power in the corresponding aspects.

For example, Hektor's 'Blood of the Great Demon' could grant the Demon King a powerful physique, Leo's 'Wisdom of the Wisdom Demon' could grant the Demon King wisdom, Eileen's 'Succubus Demon's Charm' could grant the Demon King innate power over the opposite sex, and so on.

Lordan's 'Wicked Demon's Soul' was to provide the Demon King with spiritual support, granting the Demon King wickedness, helping the Demon King to have no mercy or sympathy for any other races, and aiding in the cruel conquest and plunder of various worlds under the Demon King's rule.

In theory, these nine offerings were indispensable.

However,

"I did not, of course."

Lordan did not lie. He refused to provide the offering on the grounds of physical discomfort, so there were only eight offerings in this Demon King summoning.

Apart from the Succubus Demon, the other apostles didn't say anything about this, as they didn't have high expectations for this Demon King summoning.

Lordan even imagined that without his 'Wicked Demon's Soul,' the ceremony would not succeed and would end in failure.

But...

Who could have imagined...

"Perhaps the Demon King himself is already evil enough, so there was no need for your Wicked Demon's Soul, and the summoning could still succeed."

Regarding the conclusion drawn by the tall shadow in the mirror, Lordan also nodded in agreement. Considering Hektor's domain effect, this must be the only reason.

"Tsk, it seems that my little experiment was indeed far-sighted. You have an additional new Demon King to deal with, and I have an 'Emperor' to worry about. This powerful force brought by the 'Eggs' is exactly what we need, isn't it?"

Although it was all negative information, for some reason, the voice of the tall shadow seemed much lighter, as if it contained a strange emotion, like excitement? Joy? Or something else.

"I still need some time to prepare, and you, Lordan, my old friend, don't worry. Relax a bit. No matter what kind of Demon King, the final outcome under our cooperation will still be the same, won't it?"

"It was so a thousand years ago, and a thousand years later."

"It will still be so."
