Even if the angels eradicate the demons that arose from the arrival of the demon Ator, the root cause will not be eliminated, and new demons will continue to emerge.
However, the demonic factor is as persistent as a maggot clinging to a bone, and it is very difficult to get rid of. Otherwise, how could the war between demons and angels have lasted for tens of thousands of years?
The newly born demons were in the north, and since the north was barren and almost uninhabited, they turned their attention to the rich and fertile south. But the Holy Kingdom of Ailan existed in the south, and how could this country that believed in angels sit idly by and watch these evil demons invade their country?
Thus began an unprecedented and massive war between humans and demons!
"My lads, kill these demons who have invaded our country! They are evil beings. If we are defeated, our wives and children will be exposed to their clutches, and our descendants will become their food, or even demons!" The slightly masculine woman at the head of the group spoke.
She was dressed in a set of Western medieval armor, holding a gleaming sword, and riding a strong black horse that was breathing heavily and whose eyes were covered by an eye patch.
Beside the woman were three women dressed in armor and wearing helmets. Although they were wearing the same armor, they were all very different. The woman on the left had two strands of white hair hanging down in front of her shoulders, while the other two women had blonde hair hanging down behind their shoulders through their helmets.
"For the Holy Kingdom of Ailan! Kill!" the woman shouted, gripping the reins tightly and leading the charge. Seeing their queen so brave and fearless, the soldiers' morale soared, and they followed closely behind with shouts of battle.
The three women beside her remained silent, drawing their swords and flanking Annie Xide, slashing left and right to cut down the mutated demons blocking their way. These mutated demons were not like the mutated demons on Earth, which possessed random abilities acquired through mutation; they were simply mutated.
Although physically powerful, they are only stronger than ordinary people. Compared to the angels who are suspected to be fifth-generation gods and two third-generation super soldiers, they are weak and vulnerable, and could easily kill a large number of them.
A fierce charge ensued!
The mutated demon army, which was originally a disorganized mess, was reduced to a few dozen scattered individuals in the blink of an eye. However, they all had injuries of varying degrees. Even though they had mutated into demons, their recovery ability was too poor, and they healed slowly.
Seeing that the Holy Alan Legion was about to turn around and launch another attack, the mutated demons were terrified and flapped their wings to flee. They were demons, that's true, but they still had their brains. After a series of attacks, how could they not recognize the situation?
Now that they had faced a direct confrontation, they finally realized that the Holy Alan Legion before them was not something they could defeat. Now that the enemy's charge had ended, when was the better time to run?
Annie did not give chase, because the soldiers could not fly, and even if she wanted to, she would be powerless to do so.
While Annie Xide was gathering the soldiers, Yan looked at A-Zhui next to her. Although they were both wearing helmets, how could she not tell A-Zhui and Mo Yi apart after spending so many years together?
Angel Chase nodded slightly, rode away, and left. Letting the demons go was something they, as angels, could not tolerate. To prevent more innocent civilians from being persecuted by them, they naturally could not let them escape.
Angel Chase's actions were observed by Annie Xide and her two deputies, who all looked at Yan, who was wearing a helmet and acting nonchalantly, wanting a reasonable explanation. After all, there had to be a reason for leaving the legion, right? Otherwise, if everyone followed suit and left the legion without a reason, it would be very difficult for them.
"She has to leave for a while." Yan took off her helmet, revealing a stunningly beautiful face. Her crystal-clear white hair cascaded down her shoulders and back, and her voice was ethereal, like heavenly music, leaving the legion members momentarily stunned.
Even Annie Xide, a woman, felt the same way. She considered herself inferior to men and rarely found any men pleasing to the eye, but now, seeing this woman as beautiful as an elf or angel, she realized that gender didn't have to be such a strict constraint.
The beauty filters are so stunning, they have a powerful impact on both men and women.
"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Yan's lips curled into a smile that she didn't even notice, but she quickly recovered. She was very satisfied with the Qi that Li Dao had given her, which not only boosted her strength dramatically but also enhanced her appearance by several levels.
She truly possesses both strength and beauty, even surpassing He Xi. Of course, if Li Dao were to also contribute to her, he would likely surpass her.
“No, since she has something to do, let’s go back to the camp to rest. If she can’t find us when she comes back, she will naturally go back to the camp.” Annie Xide stared at Yan’s stunning face for a long time before reluctantly turning her gaze away and saying.
As she finished speaking, the legion left in an orderly fashion.
Yan called to Mo Yi beside her and followed Annie Xide away.
Chapter 181 The Holy Religion!
The fleeing demons did not return to the north, but flew south and plunged into the dense forest. Occasionally, they would scout the surroundings to check if there were any living people. If there were, they would not mind expanding their ranks; if not, they would not deliberately search for them to avoid attracting an army to surround and kill them.
"Leader, what should we do next? Should we continue to create more companions, let them join us to grow stronger, and then take revenge?" the demon beside him asked.
Now that they have been defeated, the southern countries will surely issue warrants for their arrest. If they want to make a comeback, they will inevitably have to lure and convert ordinary people to join them and start another war!
*Slap!* The leading demon patted the demon's head and said in a deep voice, "Fool, what we need to do now is lie low. As for revenge? The tens of thousands of demons we built were easily wiped out by the Holy Kingdom of Ailan's army, leaving only a few dozen of us."
"If we continue the war, we'll need to amass at least 100,000 demon legions. Do you believe we'll be dealt with as soon as we show our faces? Do you think their archers are pushovers? Don't drag us down."
Before he was transformed into a demon, he was one of the few intellectuals with a brain, a shaman-like figure in a small tribe. However, he was swept away by demons and became a demon out of hatred, eventually killing the previous leader.
He accepted his destiny and became the leader of the demons.
"Hibernate?" The demon scratched its head in confusion.
“That’s right. Since we can’t destroy the southern kingdoms through war, then we’ll lie low and dismantle them from within.” A wise glint flashed in the eyes of the leading demon.
“But leader, how will we dismantle them?” another demon asked.
Upon hearing this, the leading demon fell into deep thought. After a while, when it saw the clear line between darkness and sunlight, its eyes lit up, and its deep voice rang out: "The Holy Kingdom of Ailan believes in angels, believes that they bring light and peace."
“There must be darkness and filth there. We can create a Holy Church, where darkness lies beneath the light, and use this to lure those who join the Holy Church into becoming demons and joining us to strengthen our power.”
"Our leader is wise!" the demons cried out.
"From now on, you don't need to call me leader. Since we are going to infiltrate the enemy, we naturally need to have our own name. I have abandoned the name I had in life. Now I am reborn. Under the light is darkness. I am a demon. My name is Satan. Demon Satan!" Satan said.
Satan means hell and also refers to the devil, because hell breeds devils, and Satan is the lord of hell!
Clearly, it has high aspirations in mind when it chooses this name!
As for Morgana, the Demon King etched deep into her genes, she can go cool off somewhere else. There can only be one Demon King in Frieza, and that is Satan!
"Satan! Satan!" all the demons cried out, startling the birds and beasts into fleeing.
Satan raised his hand and placed it flat. Instantly, all the demons stopped shouting and summoned seven mutated demons. Their degree of mutation varied, and their appearances were also different. These were all his confidants.
"As the King of Demons, I bear the seven ancient sins. Are you willing to bear these sins for me?" Satan's dark and blood-red eyes swept over the seven demons before him as he slowly spoke, his voice deep and resonant.
"We are willing!" The seven demons knelt down in unison, pledging their loyalty to the death.
“Very good.” Satan nodded in satisfaction, slowly extending his finger to point at the leading demon on the left: “You bear the sin of pride for me, I give you the name Lucifer!”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lucifer knelt down.
"...I bestow upon you the name Leviathan!"
“…Samael!”
"..."
Soon, Satan named the seven demons before him: Lucifer, Leviathan, Samael, Belial, Mammon, Beelzebub, and Asmodeus, representing pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust, respectively.
Clearly, when Satan chose these names, he already had plans to establish his own power base. Since the so-called Demon King Morgana didn't care about their lives, it was only natural that Satan himself would assume the title of Demon King.
"From this day forward, I, Satan, the King of Demons, establish the Holy Church, and you will travel to all nations to spread its teachings," Satan said, looking at all the demons.
"I never expected that you, a mere mutated demon less than a generation old, would have such ambitions, daring to usurp Morgana's title as Demon King." Just then, a female voice suddenly rang out.
In an instant, Satan's eyes changed; his cold, evil aura vanished, and he hurriedly shouted, "All demons, scatter and flee!"
Although it proclaimed itself the King of Demons and overstepped Morgana's authority, it chose to order its minions to flee when faced with a woman of unknown origin who could evade detection.
At that moment, a woman dressed in armor but without a helmet, revealing a head of long, slicked-back golden hair, jumped down from the tree. In her hand was no longer a longsword made of ordinary metal, but rather the flaming sword of their angels.
She was ordered by Yan to come and eliminate these mutated demons, but she never expected that there would be such a bold being among them, daring to overstep Morgana and call himself the Demon King. It really opened her eyes.
Satan turned back and looked through the treetops at the graceful figure in the forest. However, when he saw a pair of pure white wings appear out of nowhere behind the woman, his pupils shrank to pinpoints, and he flapped his wings even faster, almost with all his might.
"An angel!" It never expected that the angel worshipped by the Holy Kingdom of Ailan would actually exist, and that it would come to cause trouble for them, the demons. Angels and demons are mortal enemies, and since they had become demons, this angel was clearly here to exterminate them.
"All demons have infiltrated the kingdoms!" Satan's deep voice echoed in the sky as he led Lucifer's seven henchmen toward a town in the distance, his mind in turmoil.
It never expected that angels really existed. If it had known this earlier, it would have stayed in the north. But could staying in the north really have saved it from the angels' killing?
The angel heard Satan's words, but she did not chase after him because, if she remembered correctly, he flew off in the direction of a town, so she could only eliminate some of the demons first.
Of course, she also wanted to see if this devil who dared to replace Morgana's name with Satan would be slapped into a pulp by Morgana if she found out.
Upon hearing this, the fleeing demon's heart pounded violently, and its wings flapped even faster than when it was fleeing the battlefield, wishing it could grow more pairs of wings when it mutated.
The demons that escaped slowly naturally became easy targets for the angels to hunt down.
Satan turned back and saw that the angel was not chasing after him. He felt a little relieved, but not completely at ease. He said in a low voice, "Let's land and avoid becoming that angel's target."
The seven demons nodded and followed Satan to a stream.
“I never imagined that the angels worshipped by the Holy Kingdom of Ailan would actually exist in reality! And the being that turned us into demons, is it someone from the Demon Queen Morgana?” Lucifer said with fear in his eyes and a slightly hesitant voice.
Satan's eyes were gloomy, and he licked his sharp teeth with his barbed tongue, saying in a low voice, "Forget about angels and Morgana, all the demons on this planet Frieza are now under my control. I am the King of Demons!"
At this point, Satan's gloomy, blood-red eyes swept over Lucifer before turning his gaze back to the town whose outline was beginning to emerge in the distance. He said, "Prepare yourselves. Tonight, we'll infiltrate that town, luring some of its inhabitants to become our people before establishing the Holy Church."
“Yes!” the seven demons nodded.
Only Satan's gaze followed their escape route, hoping that the angel would not reappear, otherwise they would have perished before even completing their mission. Judging from the angel's silent appearance, the opponent's strength was probably beyond their capabilities.
Even if all of them were combined!
Chapter 182 Action!
The nights south of Fraser are very quiet; even in the suburban forests, there is not a sound of birds, beasts, or insects.
Because eight demons lurk here, emanating an invisible, fierce aura that intimidates the surrounding creatures, preventing them from making any noise—a suppression stemming from their biological instincts.
"Your Majesty, it's already night. How are we going to sneak in now?" Lucifer asked Satan beside him.
Fraser has two moons, one blue and one red, whose light, though strange, is soft and not dazzling.
Satan looked ahead. The town was silent and dark, a stark contrast to the bustling daytime.
Satan doesn't understand this, because he was a northerner in his previous life and inherited northern traditions. How would he know about the concept of a curfew?
“Fly in.” Satan turned his head and met Lucifer’s gaze. Just then, the light of the red moon fell on him, and his eyes seemed to reflect a scarlet light.
"Could that angel be lying in wait for us inside? After all, they should know our route very well." Lucifer's devilish face showed a conflicted expression, but he still hesitated before expressing his concerns.
Satan facepalms.
Well, it shouldn't expect these bastards to have any brains. It's probably the only one with any brains in the whole team; the rest are just henchmen.
“If the angel knew we were here, she would have come and wiped us out directly, instead of foolishly waiting for us to go inside before killing us!” Satan explained patiently, though he was getting impatient.
Having said that, Satan spread his jet-black wings and flew into the air. Red and blue light fell on his body, reflecting his extremely ferocious appearance.
Upon seeing that their king had taken action, Lucifer, Leviathan, and other demons flew to his side.
"Before we go in, don't alert them. Remember to find clothes to cover yourselves and avoid exposing us. Anyone who dares to disrupt my plans, don't blame me for being ruthless," Satan said to the seven demons, his eyes flashing with a predatory light.
Clearly, it was genuinely afraid that the other party would ruin its plans, hence the reminder.
“We will obey you, Your Majesty,” Leviathan said.
Satan nodded: "Go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Satan led Lucifer and the other demons toward the town not far away. They were very fast. Apart from being weaker than the first generation of super soldiers, their wings made them much faster.
The town is located in the western part of the earth and consists of traditional low-rise buildings. Most of the people in these houses are asleep, while the taller buildings in the center of the town are still dimly lit.
Satan and his companions entered without making a sound, landing silently in the middle of the street.
