Chapter 36 The Devil's Hope

Just as the war around the world of Mycrov began, the Sixth Abyss, the Hell of the Melting Sea.

In the deepest hall of the Fortress of Tears, only the shadow demon king sat on his throne, quietly staring at the flames in his hand.

It was a blazing white flame, which burned silently, without relying on air or without fuel. The flame seemed to have emerged from nothing, continuously generating holy power from the void. The pure black demon king placed the fire in his palm, and could see that when the dark energy of the devil's palm touched the white flame, it seemed as if boiling hot oil met water. Countless black smoke and white mist gushed out from the place where the two were in contact, filling the entire hall.

If there are the high priests of the Seven Gods Church's extreme level here, they will definitely be shocked, because this is the complete form of the supreme secret magic of the Seven Gods Church's "Immortal Holy Flame". This white flame seems fragile, but in fact it is connected to the void and can burn forever. The chaos and evil existences hit by it will be burned forever forever, until they are sincerely repented or completely purified.

But now, Goliath, the devil king of the Sixth Abyss, held such a ball of holy fire and fell into deep thought. Although it seemed to be staring at the flame in its hands, its thoughts had actually floated back to the long past.

That was a long time ago. It was so long that it was not a demon. It had not yet become the lord of the Sixth Abyss, and it had not yet become the king of demons who ruled all demons.

The gluttony demon king at that time was just a worm that awakened abyss around the ruins of ancient insect civilization.

The cold acid rain hit the roof of the ancient laboratory shed exposed from the depths of the mountains due to the erosion of rain. As the energy circulation that had been maintained for thousands of years ended due to the collapse of the line, the ancient laboratory was finally forced to terminate the state of silence and once again opened the door to close an era. In the deepest part of the laboratory, a long-sealed hibernation chamber was opened, but in it, an experimental insect was slowly straightening its body. It opened its eyes, looked around, and stared at this world that had been around for thousands of years.

And then, an abyss worm entered through the broken door, entered the laboratory, and then pounced on the last normal worm in the world, and bit off its throat when the other party was unable to move due to hibernation.

The green blood splattered, and you could hear the sound of swallowing raw meat and eating your internal organs.

That was the first time Goliath had swallowed a complete spiritual soul of wisdom, and it was also the first time it had produced the concept of "self".

That was also the first time it devoured the 'like'

Most of the demons are just survivors of the destructed civilization in the past, and are transformed in extreme environments. They are like the insect civilization that was destroyed by the civil war. Their super weapons destroyed the ecological cycle of the entire world. A very small number of survivors struggled to survive in the winter that lasted for hundreds of years. They forgot all their knowledge and fell into wild beasts. Thousands of years have passed, and the harsh environment has caused the beasts to mutate and alienate again and again, and finally become hideous and bloodthirsty monsters... Gradually, the insects have lost their name full of glory and pride, and become the "demons" in the mouths of other civilizations.

The so-called abyss worms are just the original means of reproduction of insect civilization... Before having civilization, they were originally a race that scattered their eggs between heaven and earth, depending on their luck, and after having civilization, they learned to cultivate their offspring together, and no longer sprinkle their eggs at will, allowing worms as juvenile bodies to wriggle around. But in the sixth abyss, no demon tribe has this concept.

At that time, Goliath did not know what she would encounter later, nor did she know what she needed to bear. As a greedy demon, it was just glad that it found a large piece of delicious and extremely weak raw meat, which filled it for several days, and completed its first transformation. It was not until it became the Lord of the Abyss and the King of Demons. After knowing what happened in this world in the past, Goliath realized that he might have killed the last normal insect man in the world.

But so what? The era of insects has long passed, they have destroyed themselves, and no one can condemn anyone, let alone demons.

Now, after hundreds of years of filling, the Demon King is pondering at this time. It is not thinking about the "destruction" or "conquer" that the Demons desire, but about the "future" and "hope".

Is it funny? No. Even the extremely greedy demon king... No, because it is the extremely greedy demon king, Goliath desires a future and hope that will never be obtained in the abyss.

After all, in the abyss, compared to absolute strength and victory in war, the hope for the future is something more rare and incredible. The most innocent demon dare not ask for it. It is precisely because of this that the devil fell into a long silence.

Under the hundreds of years of rule of the abyss lord Goliath, the already unified demons are no longer eating raw and drinking blood, nor fighting each other in chaos. They have regained the basic concept of clans and have learned how to build cities... The demon's army conquered other worlds with its pace, but as the power of the Sixth Abyss expands, the target of plunder is less and less, and the former cruel and bloodthirsty demon king finally calmed down. It began to think about how to continue to develop the civilization of the demons is not a worm, but a civilization belonging to the demons.

If you continue to start the war like this, one day, the Sixth Abyss will hit the iron plate they cannot defeat. Civilizations that are stronger than them will completely destroy the Hell of the Sea and let all demons die without a burial place. This is not a joke. Goliath knows that the multiverse is not short of strong people, and even the world of Mycrov, which was originally the target, has recently shown its incomparable potential and strength, which is a clear proof.

So give up the war and develop with peace of mind?

It's also impossible.

The shadow of the devil raised his head, and the map of the Sixth Abyss appeared in its mind. The world resources it had were extremely barren. The poisonous gas and howling winds everywhere killed the lives of its people. In this desperate end, even demons would have been unable to survive. If it weren't for the plundering of a large amount of supplies in recent wars, a large number of monsters and demons would have killed each other because of hunger and started a civil war that affected the entire abyss. This was also the norm for most abysses. The remaining lives were devoured to each other until the entire world died completely, just like the seventh abyss.

Thinking of this, even Goliath is as cruel and ruthless as Goliath can only remain silent and cannot speak.

Should we use the few resources left to build schools so that the next generation of demons can have a slight slightest hope and order, or should we concentrate all resources on powerful people like the Demon Lord, so that these existences can be used as the main body to continue civilization? For demons who are old enough to be unable to complete labor, should we cruelly expel them into the wilderness and fend for themselves, or should we set up a concentration camp to properly place these old but experienced demons?

A more extreme question... Can similar corpses be eaten for survival? Can parents' corpses be reused for the continuation of their offspring? Should the deceased be respected, to build a tomb that can provide boring psychological care for them, or should the corpses be regarded as resources that can be reused and sent ruthlessly to the canteen?

Can demons who have long been used to devouring each other and killing each other really have morality and conscience to pick up the long-lost civilizational norms from the garbage pile thousands of years ago?

The answer is no.

Now is the end of the world, here is the abyss, and this is the hell that is deeply hated in all the legends, the place of eternal desolation, so there is no slight mercy or redemption here.

This is the problem that civilizations that appeared again after the original world order were destroyed.

The reason why demons are demons is not because they think, but because they can only be demons. The insects are destined to fall. In such a doomsday, as long as life wants to survive, they must give up all reason and morality, because they cannot ask for more except to live.

The devil of only the shadow looked at the leaping flames in front of him. The flame was blazing white, the temperature was enough to melt steel and make the rocks boil. It contained extremely holy power, which could make the ignited extreme spirit demons wailed in pain for seven days and seven nights, but it could also purify the sewage and revive the polluted land. However, Goliath silently snuffed out the flames in his hand. It did not want to see this, and the holy fire had no effect on the recovery of the abyss. What it wanted was another kind.

Another way, it can rekindle the world, satisfy its greed, and allow the devil to possess the most precious flame of "future and hope" in the abyss.

Of course, if one day the demons can go to the point they want, then their feet will inevitably be under the corpses of other civilizations full of resentment and wailing. The rebirth of a race will lead the way with the death of thousands of other races. The rise of a civilization will inevitably cut off the hopes of thousands of other civilizations. Who can criticize who is cruel and ruthless? Who sacrifices, who loses everything, and who is crying in destruction? Goliath doesn't care about these. It is a demon, it is the devil, it is the master of the Sixth Abyss. It is the demon king, it is the master of the Sixth Abyss.

"I want to get it."

Goliath murmured to himself softly, and then its voice changed from one person's voice to an accent that seemed to be in unison of millions: "We must get it."

Accompanied by this sound, circles of twisted spaces echoed behind the Demon King, as if replying.

The will of the abyss is with its lord. Its wish is the wish of ‘it’.

This is their wish.

At this moment, the two demon kings who carried the hope of the Demon King were facing their fear in the Blood Moon Abyss.
