Chapter 502

"What? Such power," the demon was shocked, realizing that even though Xegron was clearly just a Transcendental Being, his prowess exceeded any transcendental beings he knew.

"Stop, why should we fight?"

Gracik, who was arrogant a while ago, now felt fear and tried to reason with them. He was only in his astral form, and if they fought, he might be injured or killed by Xegron, damaging his original body.

If he were injured and other demons noticed it, they might attack him, resulting in a huge loss. He was wary of fighting and wanted to preserve his strength.

He wanted to dispel his form, but the space here was sealed, and he realized it just now.

"Fvck."

Even if they killed a person with his bloodline, he was not affected by it anyway, so he wanted to compromise.

Dave and Xegron were stunned, as well as the emperor and Naga.

"Oh! You are not a demon from the 7 sin lineage, huh?"

Dave realized something: if a demon from the lineage tried to suppress the innate character of their lineage, it might backfire on them.

Demons could choose whose demon king they wanted to worship.

If someone from a pride lineage became a coward or timid, then the power of the Sin of Pride might be retracted from them, and they become lineage-less, becoming a target for others.

This rule made demons stronger as they didn't need to suppress their desires, but this rule could be broken in front of the Demon Lords who were way above them.

If a demon of pride became scared in front of a demon lord, they would not be affected nor suffer backlash because the demon lord was a way different being from other demons as they had transcended the realm of just being a demon, and their power came from the primordial sins.

Having lineage was like having protection from demon lords.

Also, being blessed by demon lords gave them the power to harness the power of sins, even if it was just a fraction of it.

It was the harsh rule of the abyss where strength matters. One could be lineage-less as long as their power could back them up, like Ronin, who originated from the family servants of the demon god, so they did not have lineage, but they were blessed with power that could rival the lineage of sins.

There were some lineages in the Abyss, but the lineage of sins was the dominant force, and there were only a few groups in the Abyss that were recognized by the demon kings, so they could continue to be rampant in the Abyss.

............

Hearing Dave's words, Gracik realized his mistake as he was exposed of being lineage less.

"What do you want?"

Gracik realized that if Dave and Xegron wanted, they could easily kill his projection or escape this place easily, so he decided to talk with them.

Even though demons were known for their arrogance and looking down on other races, they still knew fear for those who were strong.

Dave smiled, realizing Gracik was interesting, and all the demons he met never wanted to communicate with him, just spouting a bunch of arrogant and condemning words, so he killed them.

"Well, you are smart. I did want something from you, so I kept you here for a while."

Dave's words might be arrogant, but he had the power to say such words.

With his bloodline above him, and holding the Authority over half of the Seven Primordial Sins unlike demon kings who hold only one, he had the advantage over demons and could suppress their full power.

"I want you to serve under me."

Dave's words stunned everyone, even Gracik, and he didn't expect that Dave would say such words.

"How dare you!"

The demon released his power and aura, shocking everyone, including Naga and Muller, making their bodies feel heavy. Dave and Xegron were unaffected.

Even though he feared them, he never planned to serve anyone, even the demon kings, which is why he remained lineage-less.

Yet, a mere human wanted him to serve him. Xegron was also stunned, not knowing what was on his master's mind, but he was ready to fight the demon.

Dave, on the other hand, appreciated the demon in front of him.

At first, he planned to extract the demon's bloodline and give it to his subordinate, but he realized that Gracik was special.

He was not a pureblood demon but a hybrid demon of the demon race and the titan race.

Gracik might have some connection to his father, which is why he had such a Golden Demon Body, somewhat familiar to the physique of titans.

However, Gracik managed to create his own bloodline, similar to titans, showing that he was not a simple demon but a genius in his own right.

"The audacity to raise your voice to the master."

Suddenly, a loud slap resounded in the place. Gracik, who had been arrogant and released his strong aura, was blasted to the ground, his power suppressed easily like that of a child.

"Arghh!"

Gracik shouted in pain. He had not felt pain for the last thousands of years, yet he was slapped by someone without having a chance to defend himself.

Dave looked at the person who slapped Gracik, then at Muller, who nodded and commanded everyone to leave the place.

Muller wanted to leave as well, but Dave told him to remain.

His action made Muller feel that he was not out of place and that he was trusted by his lord.

On the other hand, he commanded Naga to leave the place because he had not yet perfectly controlled her.

He could use force to make her loyal, but he knew that her destiny was not simple, and she might be a key figure for the human race in the near future.

Naga left reluctantly as if she wanted to know more about Dave, but she bowed her head and followed her father's command.

"Who are you!"

Gracik tried to stand up, but a foot pressed his face, preventing him from lifting his head.

The newcomer was, of course, Ronin, who emerged from Dave's shadow.
