Chapter 1705: Weeds Patching the Basket
Quickly traversing the dwellings of Demon King City, Lotcar carried Yang Yu straight to the center.
The deceit fog that originally wrapped the center of Demon King City like a cocoon gradually dissipated.
Something must have happened in the center of Demon King City.
Along the way, Yang Yu and the others saw many members of the Demon Clan sneaking around the streets. These demons also sensed the anomaly and came out to investigate.
Aware of Yang Yu and their approach, the investigating demons showed clear hostility.
Iyas and the mages who excelled in long-range attacks coordinated with each other, preemptively blocking the actions of those demons to prevent them from coming over and hindering their actions.
After a series of rushes, Yang Yu and the others arrived back at the center of Demon King City.
Though it looked different, the fog was indeed gradually dissipating, but the magic power that constituted the deceit fog was not spreading outward; instead, it transformed into more substantial magic power and flew to an even more central location.
Turning his ears, Lotcar heard the sound of clashing in the distance. He raised his head to look at the far-off sky.
Iyas stood up from Lotcar’s back, following the direction of Lotcar’s gaze. With her remarkable vision, she easily saw the battle in the distance.
Yongfang Chunlan and Black Diamond Lorne of the Four Heavenly Kings were fighting fiercely in the sky.
Black Diamond Lorne wore an anxious expression, seemingly aware of the anomaly of the beam of light in the distance. He wanted to quickly defeat Yongfang Chunlan and go back to check the situation.
Black Diamond Lorne’s panic provided Yongfang Chunlan with numerous opportunities, and various complex magic spells soared through the air, shattering the steel creations that approached one after another.
Gradually, Yongfang Chunlan gained the upper hand in the battle.
Perhaps sensing the distant gaze, Yongfang Chunlan turned her head in the direction of Iyas, meeting Iyas’s eyes.
Yongfang Chunlan was surprised that Yang Yu and the others had managed to extricate themselves from the battle with the demon so swiftly, and secretly felt fortunate for choosing to release Demon Bar according to Lox’s instructions at that time. If it were only herself and Agares, they certainly wouldn’t have been able to hinder Yang Yu and the others for so long.
Yongfang Chunlan felt apprehensive about Yang Yu and the others.
If Yang Yu and the others truly defeated the demon before coming over, their strength was extraordinary.
Lox had successfully defeated the Demon King, but absorbing the Demon King’s power and converting it into part of his strength might require some time.
Judging by the giant wolf’s speed, it shouldn’t take long to reach the central platform.
Yongfang Chunlan spared a moment to communicate with Lox, informing him of Yang Yu and the others’ movements.
"Don’t worry. Just focus on fighting that Heavenly King."
Lox’s tone was resolute as he began the final ritual.
He looked up at the sky, seemingly witnessing everything occurring outside this planet.
Several angels with golden hair and white wings hurried across the outer space, touching the barrier that protected the entire planet.
Their hands, upon touching the barrier, felt like they would immediately ignite in a burning pain, but they still valiantly crossed the magic-filled atmosphere, seemingly risking their lives to stop something.
Over the years, the barrier previously enveloping the entire planet would experience periodic defects.
Although the planet’s barrier had the ability to absorb magic power for self-repair, it couldn’t perfectly fix the emerging flaws.
It’s like a basket with a hole patched with grass—it’s no longer the original basket.
To prevent suddenly revealing things, once the "grass" was depleted, it always took some time to refill the "grass." The sky’s refilling time was the angels’ most opportune moment to descend into this world.
But don’t underestimate it because the fill in the sky is "grass."
As long as there’s sufficient magic supply, the "grass" filling the sky can still provide adequate strength to prevent angels from freely invading this world.
In fact, in the magic-rich past, angels never stayed long in this world.
But all this changed due to a past hero who destroyed the magic recovery system.
Over four hundred years ago, this world’s magic power level reached a rather low point. This allowed angels to roam freely and stay longer in this world.
One of Heroic Warrior Volcrix’s former companions, Amon, was a child born of an angel and a human.
Back then, incidents of elves transforming into angels also occurred in Elf Country.
During Heroic Warrior Volcrix’s era, the magic power level must have also dropped significantly, and perhaps holes also appeared in the sky.
After the Gate of Demon World opened, the total magic power in this world continuously increased; even if there were gaps, they would slowly mend. If some angels chose to remain in this world, they surely had to endure considerable pain.
Regardless, whether angels who remained in this world or those who came from outer space were all too late.
Lox grasped the Demon King’s remains with one hand and held the Holy Sword with the other, stabbing it into the half-diagonal-cut cube.
With a "crackle," countless golden lights erupted from the half-diagonal-cut cube.
More precisely, the Holy Light attached to the diagonal cube was completely dispelled by Hero Lox and the Holy Sword.
The device bearing the Devil King’s Power returned to its original appearance.
Then, this device began greedily absorbing the surrounding magic power, pulling the Demon King’s body onto it, ravenously seizing the Devil King’s Power within, and then injecting it all into Hero Lox.
Looking down from outer space, one could see extremely brilliant magic fluctuations rapidly spreading from Lox’s position, covering most of the planet.
Various colors of light shot into the sky, breaking through the clouds, the atmosphere, and even the barrier protecting the planet.
At this moment, countless past memories slowly flowed into Lox’s mind.
These were the memories of past Demon Kings and also the memories of Lucaism believers who fought on the front lines.
Lox’s head suddenly hurt like it was about to explode, his body buzzing everywhere, rapidly adapting to this power capable of flattening the entire world.
Clenching his teeth, Lox wouldn’t allow past memories to disrupt his current consciousness.
He stored a large amount of unused memories into the device safeguarding the Devil King’s Power, only simply comprehending the life events of each Demon King and retaining an impression of their lessons, then inheriting their vast knowledge of battle.
No matter which generation of Demon King, when they absorbed the Demon King’s Power, the memories of the previous Demon King were always the clearest.
Lox was no exception.
The story of the Demon King he defeated, Deceitful Emperor, gradually emerged before his eyes.
