"Alas, that power is too strong. No matter what I choose, the Demon Realm will be controlled by them. My biggest mistake was not raising my son well. I know the current situation in the Demon Realm, but I am now in a precarious situation myself. My lucid moments are becoming fewer and fewer, and no matter how much I want to help, I am powerless to do anything about it."
An Ge was stunned for a long time. The King of the Demon Realm, is he out of his mind?
"Didn't you ever think that if the other side could really destroy the Demon Realm at will, why would they need to find a representative, or rather, an accomplice, in the lower realm?" Rhodes had to go to great lengths even in lower-level planes, so this was a higher-level plane. If they wanted to deceive the Divine Realm Alliance, the price they would have to pay would probably be even greater.
“I’ve thought about it, but the other side is just too strong. In the face of that kind of power, all resistance is futile. I can’t try to resist because of this possibility. What if I anger the other side?”
"So you gave up resisting and handed over the responsibility of the Demon Realm to the First Prince? If I'm not mistaken, you should have breathed a sigh of relief after you discovered that the First Prince had taken the initiative to seize power, right? At least, someone else is responsible for the future of the Demon Realm."
Ange believed that the Demon King must have wanted to fight for the Demon Realm, but when he realized he was powerless, his thoughts gradually changed. He felt that as long as the Demon Realm wasn't destroyed by his own hand, he could atone for his sins. He even went so far as to constantly fight against the deathly aura to put his mind at ease, proving: I tried, but it was no use!
The Demon King, his true feelings exposed, was somewhat embarrassed and angry. His face flushed red. "Yes, I do have such thoughts. But tell me, what can I do?"
An Ge said quietly, "If it were Lu Yan, he might compromise temporarily to buy time, but he would try every means to fight against that force. For example, he would ask the demon race and the human race for help, or he would work hard to improve himself until he could fight against this force, or he would inform the demon realm about this matter and unite the demons to fight against the evil god. At least he wouldn't be like you, just shirking the responsibility and thinking everything is fine."
Most importantly, Lu Yan dared to try, guessed that Rhodes's strength was limited, and then used feigned compliance and insincere tactics to their fullest extent, even managing to gain considerable benefits from the evil god. To simply confront him head-on would be foolish.
An Ge thought that, given Lu Yan's personality, he might actually be able to fleece the evil god quite a bit.
The Demon King was stunned for a long time. "Yan'er has always been very smart."
“Yes, of the eight hundred cunning demons, he has eight hundred and one, while you all have negative numbers.” An Ge suddenly remembered something and asked, “Since the eldest prince has sided with the evil god, why doesn’t the entire demon race worship the god of darkness?”
A century has passed. No matter how much time passes, shouldn't we at least gather some faith for Rhodes?
The Demon King sighed, "Actually, the Crown Prince has been working hard all these years, but with little success. It's probably related to the Demon Clan's Holy Tower." He didn't hide anything from An Ge and told her about the Holy Tower.
A hundred years ago, the second prince declared to the demons that the God of Darkness had bestowed upon him power. To prove the strength of this power, he prepared to challenge the Holy Tower. Unexpectedly, upon entering the Holy Tower, he was thrown out, and the power even forced the Holy Tower to close.
"The Holy Tower has existed for ten thousand years, and its status in the hearts of the demons is far more important than that unknown god. Because of this, the Second Prince is regarded by the demons as the culprit who destroyed the Holy Tower, and that dark god is also considered an ominous being."
"What does this have to do with the Second Prince?"
"The Second Prince also pledged allegiance to the God of Darkness, but because of this, he has not dared to step forward for a hundred years, which allowed the First Prince to take advantage of the situation. As a result, after the First Prince came to power, he did not publicize this god extensively. At least, before the Holy Tower opens, the God of Darkness will not be accepted by the demon race."
Ange looked at the Demon King with sympathy, "Your only princess isn't also a follower of Rhodes, is she?" The Demon King's response was a bitter smile.
So the entire royal family has betrayed us? Looking at it this way, the Demon King's insistence on not yielding to Rhodes is actually quite admirable?
Ange couldn't help but feel fortunate that the Holy Tower held a relatively high position in the hearts of the demons; otherwise, the entire demon race might have become followers of Rhodes. She thought of the Abyss Demons of the West Asian continent and suddenly had a terrifying thought.
She had always believed that the emotionless demons of the abyss were primordial demons who would evolve into demons like Lu Yan. But what if it were the other way around?
If the demon race worships an evil god, will it become emotionless monsters who only know how to kill after tens of millions of years?
Thinking of this, An Ge shuddered. What exactly did Rhodes and the forces behind him want to do? Whether it was the zombies of the post-apocalyptic world or the abyss demons, it seemed that He only wanted to turn his followers into emotionless beings.
Ange was extremely interested in the Holy Tower, which had indirectly saved the demon race. Just as she was about to ask about the Holy Tower, she noticed that the Demon King's eyes were somewhat unfocused.
"I'm about to fall into a coma, and I don't know when I'll wake up again. You're Yan'er's friend, so I hope you'll be more understanding of the demon clan's affairs." The Demon King said to An Ge while fighting against that force, which sounded rather tragic.
She hadn't even asked about the Holy Tower's situation yet; the Demon King couldn't afford to faint right now.
An Ge sensed that the deathly energy resisting the Demon King was growing stronger, so she immediately released her life force. The moment the life force was released, the deathly energy receded like a tide, and the faint power of rules slowly dissipated.
The Demon King's eyes widened in surprise. "What kind of power is this?"
"The power that makes Rhodes grit his teeth! Don't get distracted, I'm really struggling to fight it alone." The life force didn't match the disguised magic, and she was completely out of sorts, wanting to hit someone in a fit of rage.
The Demon King immediately calmed down, realizing he could be saved, and the entire Demon City was filled with vitality. Together, the two of them dispelled the deathly aura in just a quarter of an hour.
An Ge was somewhat frustrated, and the anger she had managed to suppress was starting to rise again.
"Haha! That feels great!" Ever since he was corrupted by the death energy, he had spent most of his time fighting against this power, and it had been a long time since he had felt this comfortable. At the same time, he was even more convinced that the witch before him was the future hope of the demon race.
Thinking of this, the Demon King looked at An Ge with kind eyes, "With you here, what worries do the demons have about being controlled by others? It is truly a blessing for the demons to have a friend like you, Yan'er."
An Ge was speechless. What was with the way he was looking at his granddaughter-in-law?
"Please don't misunderstand, I'm already taken. Lu Yan and I are just friends." After An Ge finished speaking, the Demon King's expression visibly fell.
"Haha, good friend or not, the demon race has hope with a genius like you."
"Uh, I didn't say I was a demon."
Silence is the night tonight.
