Chapter 997 [Observation] This matter really can't be blamed on Asa.
【"younger brother?"
Asa pursed her lips slightly, a hint of mockery in her slightly raised smile, and her eyes curved downwards a few pixels, a smile that was both ambiguous and intriguing.
Judging from the boy's similar age to the prince, it seems that his kind parents were planning to give him a younger brother after he was presented to Her Majesty the Queen.
The boy looked at him in fright and weakly called out, "Brother."
Asa smiled, raised his hand towards him, and the next second, the boy flew uncontrollably toward him and landed beside him.
Glancing at the boy who was trembling slightly, Asa raised his hand and patted his head, smiling broadly, "Good boy."
She seemed to like him, but just as the boy and his parents breathed a slight sigh of relief, Asa's expression changed. She glanced down at the boy with a blank look, as if looking at some lowly dog, and said, "Unfortunately, I don't like you."
Before the boy could utter a sound, he was torn into a bloody mist by an invisible force before the eyes of all the demons.
The next second, Asa smiled and glanced at his parents, and then they too turned into a cloud of blood mist.
He then ignored the other demons and walked step by step toward the queen.
Asa didn't want to listen to their nonsense, so he made sure all the demons present were immobilized and unable to make a sound from the start.
Until he reached the throne, he lowered his eyes and looked down at the embarrassing state of the once arrogant Queen in his memory.
He gave a slight, almost condescending smile and said softly, "Alright, Your Majesty, you may speak now."
After struggling for a long time, when the Queen realized that she really couldn't break free from Asa's control, she was no longer the aloof and superior woman she had been at the beginning.
"You... Asa, let me go, and I'll give your heart back to you!"
She pleaded in a low, humble voice.
But Asa could clearly see the deep-seated resentment and murderous intent hidden within her.
She resented him for making her look so pathetic, and if Asa let her guard down, she would definitely kill him without mercy.
Demons are always despicable and vile.
Asa smiled slightly at this, "If you hadn't taken my heart back then, there would be no question of 'giving it back' now."
"Besides..." he drawled, the slight redness in his eyes adding a touch of allure, but his tone was cold and sinister, "Do you think I need you to return my heart now, Your Majesty?"
With that, he reached out and his sharp nails pierced through the queen's chest cavity, forcefully pulling out the heart that had been moved into her body.
Feeling his heart pounding again, Asa looked down, his gaze falling on his hands.
He sighed softly, and said in a low voice, seemingly with a hint of resentment, "Really... it's all dirty."
He touched the heart with his fingertips, his expression indifferent, but suddenly he squeezed the heart with force, crushing it.
A few drops of blood splattered onto his face.
Asa casually wiped it away with his other hand, glanced at the Queen indifferently, then turned to look at Seral, who was suffering the pain of having his heart ripped out, and said in a low voice, "Go find Her Majesty's heart and smash it."
"Yes, Master."
Grab two of the red-haired men from Seral and obey their orders, then turn to search for the queen's original heart.
The queen looked at him with disbelief and skepticism. "Why, why? Why aren't you dead?!"
Asa glanced at her expressionlessly, a hint of disgust flashing across his face.
"Who told you I would die if I lost my heart? Isn't it precisely because of this that you want to transplant any part of my body onto yourselves?"
He paused slightly, then laughed brightly, "Oh dear, I almost forgot, you've had my heart occupied for so long, your body might have been modified in some ways. Even without my heart, I can still live a little longer~"
He paused to think for a moment.
He then smiled and said, "Then let someone lock you up, cut off your flesh piece by piece, then sever your soul piece by piece, and finally let your soul be completely destroyed."
Not only the queen, but the other demons also changed their expressions drastically upon hearing this, looking at Asa with panic and pleading.
Asa ignored their pleading looks and casually ordered his men, "Eliminate them all, don't let a single one escape."
"Yes, ma'am."
A group of "demons" with red hair, like Asana, appeared in the palace. They dealt with all the demons in one fell swoop, leaving only the queen trapped on the throne, forced to endure the feeling of cold blades cutting into her body.
Her heart was gone, all her energy had vanished, and she had no chance to struggle. Before she was even halfway there, the entire city of Shanghai had gone numb.
Fortunately, she was not the only one to suffer this kind of torture; Celal also did.
Serar's heart was temporarily set aside, and he endured the horrific torture alongside his dearest Queen.
Asa had no interest in staying to see their miserable state. He glanced down at his hands, then slowly walked out of the palace.
Various pitiful pleas for mercy, screams, and shouts immediately filled the air.
The same applies after leaving the palace.
Asa sat on the city wall, watching the three-day-long battle raging inside the city.
Of course, this was an overwhelming victory for the snakes.
Because... they are immortal.
As long as the mark remains on them, they cannot be killed by any means, but the price is eternal submission to Asar.
It wasn't until the next demon in the city died at the hands of the serpent that Asa prepared to leave the Nightmare Demon's territory.
"Master, one or two Nightmare Demons have escaped."
"Hmm." Asa responded nonchalantly, tapping the mouth of the cobra in his arms with his fingertip. "Don't worry about it, we can kill it when we encounter it again."
"clear."
Asa stood still, gazing wistfully into the distance.
He had wiped out all his clansmen in the past few days, but he felt no resentment whatsoever.
Hmm...maybe he never considered them as his own kind from the beginning.
Or perhaps, they never considered him one of their own, but rather saw him as... an object to be coveted.
Asa flicked her curly hair that was hanging in front of her eyes, then a faint smile curved her lips as she slowly said, "Let's go, let's go to the Angel Clan."
"yes."
It took them a little longer to reach the Angelic border.
In just ten seconds, the angels arrived at the border.
The leading priest glanced almost imperceptibly at the obedient and lawless border creatures around him, feeling a growing sense of apprehension towards the group of red-haired "demons" before him.
"Everyone, come here..."
Asa leaned back in the soft chair being carried by the snakes, casually interrupting the other person, "Stop talking nonsense, where is your high priest?"
The priest opened his mouth, glanced at the other priest beside him, and then hurriedly said, "We'll get the high priest right away!"
Glancing at their attitude, Asa frowned imperceptibly, clicked his tongue slightly, and muttered under his breath, "As expected, a bunch of good-for-nothings."
He rested his chin on one hand, looking slightly lost in thought.
The high priest probably didn't care much about this angel race, right? Otherwise, he might as well have just wiped them all out...
That way, the high priest wouldn't need to rush back to save them...
Hmm...that's a good idea.
A sickly smile flashed in Asa's eyes.
"Good heavens!" Liu Qingyao raised her voice slightly, "Could it be that Asa has some ulterior motives towards Mr.?"
Behrfinger blinked in confusion. "Hmm? What...what idea?"
Hearing this, Bertrand glanced at him, hummed softly, and then patted his cheek. "What kind of thoughts could you possibly have? Just those kinds of thoughts, you idiot."
Behrfinger looked completely bewildered: "???"
Qianzhu couldn't help but lower her head and cough softly.
"Oh dear, don't corrupt innocent Bebe." Morataya's lips curled into a mischievous smile.
Behrfinger was still completely bewildered: "???"
The others also looked astonished.
ah?
Is that a fake Du?
My awe of Asa temporarily subsided a little, and my gossipy eyes drifted behind me.
As a result, Asa's expressionless gaze startled them back.
Liu Qingyao touched her nose and sat up straight. "I'll hold on a little longer, I won't say anything more."
Bertrand turned his head away, composed himself, and then chuckled to himself.
Behrfinger: "...?"
Only in a world where Behrfinger was completely bewildered did it achieve this.
Asa waited for a long time but the high priest did not appear, and a hint of impatience appeared on his face.
A hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes as he looked at the group of angels. "Is the High Priest here or not?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a shout came from behind the angels.
"The High Priest has arrived!"
Asa blinked, his expression instantly calming down as he looked up at the approaching figure.
However, the next second, his expression turned slightly cold, and his chilling gaze swept over the priest. "He is not the one I am looking for."
The current high priest also has three pairs of wings, but he is clearly not the high priest he is looking for.
Upon hearing this, the angels were somewhat taken aback and looked at each other in bewilderment.
The current high priest was slightly taken aback. He looked up at the cold-faced Asa and asked without changing his expression, "Are you looking for the previous high priest?"
Where is he?
Asa shifted her posture, her dull gray eyes fixed on him.
The current high priest remained silent for a moment before answering calmly under the gazes of many, "The previous high priest was killed by the Demon King in the war a few months ago."
Asa: "..."
Upon hearing this, Asa calmed down for a moment, but his gaze remained fixed on the current high priest.
Are you sure?
“We’re sure!” This time it was the priest who answered, and he and the other priests around him echoed, “We saw with our own eyes that the Demon King cut off the wings of the previous High Priest.”
"Oh...I see." Asa's expression softened, and he leaned back in his chair. He said to his snakes, "Go check on the demons."
Two seconds later, he lowered his voice, a cold and cruel smile curling at the corner of his mouth, "Also, leave a few people behind to teach them a lesson."
Whether what they said is true or not, the fact is that they saw it with their own eyes but did not try to save him.
Useless trash has no reason to remain in this world.
However, he didn't intend to wipe them out.
After all, the high priest is also an angel.
Asa turned and went to the demon race.
Even though it was at the border, he and his snakes were very polite and didn't barge in to disturb them.
He ordered the little devils to summon their demon king.
The little devil hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "...Well, our Demon King perished a few days ago due to a forbidden spell cast by the High Priestess of the Angels. The clan is currently selecting a new Demon King."
Asa: "..."
He clenched his fist, suppressing his emotions, and asked again, "So, did your deceased Demon King really kill the High Priest of Angels?"
"Of course!" The little devil suddenly became proud, looking quite pleased with himself. "Our Demon King easily cut off the wings of that angelic high priest! After all, an angel's lifeblood lies in his wings... uh!"
Before the little devil could finish speaking, a bone pierced his heart.
Asa's expression was not good.
He silently fumbled with his fingertip, then suddenly made a small cut on it, squeezing out a drop of blood.
He grasped the drop of blood, and two seconds later opened his palm; the drop of blood had transformed into a small, blood-red bead.
“Gaius,” he called softly.
"Owner."
A red-haired man stepped forward and respectfully responded.
Asa handed him the blood bead, rested his cheek on his palm, and said casually, "Take this bead and go look for him, see if you can find him."
"Yes, sir." Gaius solemnly put the bead away, respectfully accepted the order, and turned to begin completing the task.
Asa lowered his eyes, expressionless as he watched the wound on his fingertip gradually heal.
He thought...
He's finally found someone who will treat him unconditionally well...
"Tsk."
Asa's expression turned slightly cold as he addressed the remaining snakes, "Go and kill all the demons who are currently qualified to become the Demon King."
"Yes, ma'am."
After receiving their orders, the remaining snakes stayed with Asa, while the rest poured into the demon territory and, as Asa had instructed, killed all the demons who were qualified to compete for the title of Demon King.
At the same time, the snakes he had left with the angels to teach them a lesson also arrived.
Asar single-handedly inflicted heavy losses on both the angel and demon races, and for perhaps a century, neither side was able to cause trouble for the other.
Hmm... how can it not be considered a form of peace?
Liu Qingyao: "..."
Kaito Kuroba's lips curled slightly. "...Although the High Priest's death was something he deliberately orchestrated, it's just that both of these races are restless."
"Uh-huh."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
That's right, Asa really can't be blamed for this.
Wait, they're mortal enemies with Death, so how come they're speaking up for him?
But it really isn't Asa's fault...
Um.
Although they loathe Death, it doesn't seem to stop them from feeling sorry for Asa.
