Custom Made Demon King - Chapter 441

Chapter 441: Participant

The moment Mundus’s magic power appeared, it seemed as though all the demons in the entire Demon World had stopped talking. The world was dead silent, and only Mundus’s roar resounded.

Hundreds of millions of demons, except for a few, were lying on the ground trembling.

This was because they felt the immense anger of the ruler of the Demon World.

Of course, Mundus had reason to be angry. Putting aside Sparda’s betrayal of him, in the past few years, he had sent people to search the human world and the Demon World for traces of Sparda. But unexpectedly, Sparda was twenty kilometers away from his demon king city. This situation of hiding so close made Mundus feel that Sparda had fooled him again!

But in fact, for Sparda, if possible, he did not want to wake up at this time.

In order not to expose his whereabouts, Sparda chose to seal most of his magic power and soul fluctuations, and then he used his body as the core to quietly set up such a seal formation outside Demon King City. He wanted to use this concealment method to make the seal formation exist as long as possible. But he did not expect that a demon would bring his separated soul fragments and his two children after only a few decades…

With his soul becoming complete and stimulated by the demon blood that came from the same origin as him, Sparda, who suddenly woke up from his state of ‘fake death’, naturally could not control his magic power fluctuations. But these magic power fluctuations directly exposed his location to Mundus…

The moment he opened his eyes, Sparda obtained some information through the residual memories in his soul fragments and the blood of Dante and Vergil. At the same time, he understood what was going on.

Thus, after waking up, Sparda’s first utterance was a deep sigh. “Sigh… Children, you shouldn’t have come here…”

Sparda was currently in his demon form, and of course, he was not the imposing human father in the memories of Dante and Vergil, but the two of them were still trembling with excitement. Fortunately, they were now dozens of years old, so they suppressed their emotions very well. Dante exhaled and forced a smile. “Old… old man, your situation doesn’t look too good. How is it? Do you need help?”

Vergil did not say anything, but his left hand gripped the scabbard of Yamato tightly.

Roy did not say anything either. He was currently sharing Rafaro’s vision in the sky and paying attention to the movements in Demon King City. Although Demon King Mundus had just erupted with powerful magic power and roars, just like Cerberus had said, this guy seemed to be still in a sealed state, so he did not appear immediately. But through Rafaro’s vision, Roy saw a large number of demons mobilizing in Demon King City. And farther away, more demons were rushing over, as though they had received some order from Mundus.

Before long, this place would be surrounded by the army of demons that came here after hearing the news…

After speaking a few words to Dante and Vergil, Sparda turned his eyes to Roy. At the same time, Roy looked at him.

The moment Roy’s and Sparda’s eyes met, their demon pupils suddenly erupted with a strange brilliance!

“I see…” Sparda looked at Roy in enlightenment. “I thought I was the only one…”

Roy was also solemn because the moment they looked at each other, he suddenly had a strange realization. He and Sparda were the same kind of… demon!

The same mentioned here referred to… the identity of the Chosen One, the Chosen One of the Abyss!

This was a very strange intuition. It seemed that when two demons were both Chosen Ones, they would immediately realize this when they saw each other at the first glance. This feeling was really strange.

Not to mention Sparda, even Roy had always thought that he was the only so-called Chosen One of the Abyss.

It could not be helped. After experiencing so many worlds and seeing so many demons, this was the first time that he had sensed anyone with the same identity. It seemed that this so-called Chosen One of the Abyss was not unique.

Others could not understand the tacit understanding of being Chosen Ones. Thus, when they heard Sparda’s inexplicable words, be it Dante, Vergil, Nero, Julia, or Benia, they were a little dumbfounded and could not understand what Sparda’s thoughtless words meant.

However, for Roy, Sparda being the same Chosen One of the Abyss did not mean anything. He looked at Sparda and said, “Time is limited. Mundus has already sent a large number of subordinates to rush here, so Sparda, you’d better quickly recall your other body parts!”

However, Sparda shook his head. “No, I can’t remove the seal, at least not now!”

“Old man, what are you sealing?” Dante was stunned for a moment after hearing Sparda’s answer and could not help but ask for Roy.

“Something very important…” Sparda said. “But I can’t tell you yet…”

With that, Sparda looked at Roy. “Demon Osiris, my compatriot from the Abyss, now I can only rely on you to repel Mundus!”

Roy could not help but sneer as he looked down at him. “Demon Swordsman Sparda, aren’t you thinking too highly of me? From the magic power that Mundus revealed, this guy is definitely a demon king. Even if he’s still sealed, what makes you think that a demon lord like me can defeat him in his territory?”

Dante and Vergil could not help but frown after hearing Roy’s words.

In fact, the two brothers had dealings with Mundus before. Vergil had fought Mundus when he fell into the Demon World, but unfortunately, he had been defeated and captured. And Dante had fought Mundus on Mallet Island. But strictly speaking, Mallet Island was still in the human world. At that time, Mundus had only appeared in a projection state. Although Dante had won the battle, he had only repulsed Mundus’s projection back to the Demon World, and it could not be regarded as a true victory. Thus, the two brothers had a considerable right to speak about Mundus’s strength.

In particular, a long time had passed since then, and Mundus’s seal was constantly weakening. The current Mundus was likely much stronger than before. Now that they were in the Demon World and his power was not hindered by the world barrier, how could it be easy to defeat him in this situation?

But after hearing Roy’s doubts, Sparda shook his head. “Don’t worry. Although Mundus is a demon king, he isn’t a true demon king!”

“What do you mean?” Roy did not understand Sparda’s logic.

Sparda looked at Roy, then at Julia and Benia behind him. “The passage between the Demon World and the Abyss seems to be opening gradually. Perhaps it won’t be long before more Abyss demons come here, but I believe you’ve noticed that the Ouroboros Mark, which has always protected demons, disappeared after coming here, right?”

Cerberus could not help but dig her front paws in excitement. She had told Roy and the others about this before, but she did not expect to hear it from Sparda again. It looked like Sparda knew something.

Roy pondered for a moment before suddenly saying, “You mean this matter is related to Mundus?”

“That’s right!” Sparda nodded. “The disappearance of the Ouroboros Mark is because Mundus stole and rewrote the authority of the Gate of the Abyss!”

“How is this possible?!” Hearing Sparda’s words, Julia and Benia could not help but exclaim, “How could he do this?!”

It was no wonder that Julia and Benia were so surprised. It had to be known that the Gate of the Abyss was a kind of spatial channel, and it belonged to a common rule of all worlds. Any world with space would have this rule. Even demon lords and demon kings had never heard of anyone who could tamper with this rule of space, even though they could use and employ it.

This was not something a demon king or god could do. Perhaps only the Creator could do it…

“What’s going on? Tell me in detail!” Roy frowned and sat down in front of Sparda.

In fact, Roy had thought about many questions about the Gate of the Abyss over the years. He felt that the so-called Ouroboros Mark was actually a sort of ‘footnote’ shared by the demons living in the Abyss. When the demons went to other worlds through the passages of the Gates of the Abyss, this footnote would accompany them. In this way, it was like two different documents merging together. Even if the contents of the documents became completely mixed, the footnotes could still be used to distinguish clearly where a certain piece of the document came from.

This should have been an unchangeable footnote. But from what Sparda was saying, Mundus seemed to have somehow bypassed this underlying rule of space and tampered with it…

Was Mundus that awesome?

Facing everyone’s questioning gazes, despite knowing that it was not the right time, Sparda could only sigh. “In fact, I only discovered this situation by accident two thousand years ago!”

“Two thousand years ago? Wasn’t that when you rebelled against His Majesty the Demon Emperor?” Cerberus could not help asking.

“Precisely!” Sparda did not mind her interruption. “The entire Demon World thinks that I rebelled against Mundus to protect humans and regards me as the greatest traitor among demons. But how could they know that I only attacked him to stop him…”

Thus, with Sparda’s story, an unknown secret was slowly revealed to everyone…
