Evolving Silver Dragon - Chapter 386
Chapter 386: 404 Grace and Binding_1
At this time, Otto no longer cared about the light ball in his head being called the Light Ball Boss.
Recalling everything he had experienced before, he felt a chill down his spine.
He gained a lot through the special abilities provided by the light ball, but at the same time, he also lost something.
First of all, he had long known that he was a hybrid of a powerful Red Dragon and a Silver Dragon. Even without the help of the light ball’s special abilities, with his innate talents, he would be able to find a place to hide and sleep for hundreds or even thousands of years to enter the realm of legends effortlessly.
Perhaps at the beginning, he needed to consider how to escape from the control of the new King Lait, but for now, let’s put this aside.
Although Otto did gain many abilities through the light ball, he did not forget that the light ball also devoured many inherited memories and memories of powerful beings.
He was originally confused about what the light ball needed these for, and thought it needed them as nourishment to help itself evolve.
But after hearing about the Endless Demon Sovereign from the Demon Flame Emperor, a bold guess appeared in Otto’s heart.
Could it be that something unexpected happened when the Endless Demon Sovereign led the Demon Army to attack this plane of existence in the past?
Or maybe, he was plotted against by a certain deity and died, but left a last resort in the form of the light ball in his own head.
Then, by a fortuitous coincidence, this thing parasitized itself inside his body and grew with his help.
If the opportunity presented itself, maybe it would seize his body and stage a comeback?
This was not acceptable!
Otto shook his head back and forth, then looked at the Demon Flame Emperor and asked, “You mean, the Endless Demon Sovereign will resurrect within my body?”
“Yes!”
The Demon Flame Emperor nodded and continued, “The only thing I’m not sure about is who the ultimate winner will be.”
“What do you mean?”
With a frown, Otto asked, and the Demon Flame Emperor added, “Blood Thunder, Death Nightmare, and I are indeed the most capable generals under the Endless Demon Sovereign.
But at the same time, we are all demons, and demons are selfish and devoid of loyalty. So, we have to plan for our own future.”
“Oh?”
Otto looked at the Demon Flame Emperor with interest, and the latter laughed, “Not all demons like fighting and killing. Like me, I prefer to taste the different delicacies of various planes rather than destroy the world.
The Blood Thunder Lord prefers art, although his understanding of it is somewhat unconventional.
As for the Death Nightmare, he prefers to manipulate the dreams of intelligent beings.
As you can see, apart from the Endless Demon Sovereign, none of us have any interest in destroying the world.
There are so many wonderful things in this world, why do we have to destroy them?”
“So?”
“So, I’d rather the ultimate winner be you!”
The Demon Flame Emperor looked at Otto with a smile, “If the Endless Demon Sovereign obtains your body and successfully resurrects, he will definitely gather the Demon Army once again to launch another world-ending war in order to wash away his previous shame of failure in this plane!
At that time, neither I nor Blood Thunder will have any other choice, and if Death Nightmare is still alive, even if he hides at the ends of the earth, he will definitely be caught by the Endless Demon Sovereign and thrown into the battlefield.”
“Because each of us, Blood Thunder, Death Nightmare, and I, has a round gemstone like the one in your hand.”
Hearing this, Otto looked down at the round gemstone in his palm again, but after looking at it from all sides, he found that apart from a certain resonance with the light ball in his head, he knew nothing else about it.
“This is both a gift and a restraint from the Endless Demon Sovereign to us!”
The Demon Flame Emperor took back the round gemstone from Otto’s palm and carefully reattached it to his forehead.
Just as he said, it seemed to be just a decoration at first glance.
But besides that, there must be some other uses.
Perhaps sensing Otto’s confusion, the Demon Flame Emperor explained, “At first, the three of us were just ordinary demons, and the reason we gained our current power and status is all due to the grace of the Endless Demon Sovereign.”
“Oh? I’m quite interested in this. Tell me more!”
Otto’s eyes were full of interest, and this statement somehow reminded him of the Dragonborn Transformation Ritual he used on some of his followers.
And the next words of the Demon Flame Emperor confirmed Otto’s thoughts.
The Demon Flame Emperor spoke with a complicated expression, “As long as we wear this round gemstone for a long time, the power of the Endless Demon Sovereign can radiate and spread to our bodies.
Of course, it’s more like reinforcement, and it’s even targeted and most suitable for our individual differences and needs.
In return, if our bodies are not equipped with this round gemstone for a long time, our abilities will also disappear.
Even if it’s just a clone, this constraint always exists, and as long as we wear this round gemstone, it means we can never resist the Endless Demon Sovereign.
Moreover, as long as the Endless Demon Sovereign wants, he can destroy our bodies and souls directly through this round gemstone at any time.”
At this point, the Demon Flame Emperor’s voice trembled a bit, as if there was a hint of fear in it.
“Once, there was another demon who had the same status as the three of us, named Fear Force Demon.
At that time, the four of us were collectively called the Four Great Demon Generals of the Endless Demon Legion, and Fear Force Demon was the strongest among us.”
At this moment, the Demon Flame Emperor spoke mockingly, “Maybe the powerful power blinded him, and many times, Fear Force Demon actually dared to defy the will of the Endless Demon Sovereign.
Eventually, he angered the Endless Demon Sovereign, who shattered the round gemstone that belonged to Fear Force Demon right in front of our faces.
Then, just like the shattered gemstone, Fear Force Demon’s body and soul turned into dust.”
In a way, the round gemstone gives us everything and takes everything away as well.
It’s like our clone… No! In a certain sense, this round gemstone is actually our real body.
After all, if it breaks, we’re finished, and if we die, this gemstone can still be inherited by the next successor.”
Hearing this, Otto suddenly asked, “You mean, it can be inherited?”
The Demon Flame Emperor nodded and confirmed, “Yes, although Fear Force Demon’s round gemstone was shattered, the Endless Demon Sovereign soon recondensed it and bestowed it upon a nameless demon.”
