Chapter 545. The Winner Takes All, The Loser Turns to Dust III

The Incubus System Chapter 545. The Winner Takes All, The Loser Turns to Dust III

A frown appeared on Sarael's forehead. His surprise was evident on his face. He even released his arms from Tania.

"No kidding. What have you learned?" he complained. I could even hear his faint disdainful laughter in between his words even though he tried to suppress it.

"A lot! But no one has mentioned it," I replied with another complaint. My annoyance was clear even though I did not raise my voice. Erebus' memory only showed a little about the dark dimension. It seemed he didn't really care about the dark dimension from the start since what tortured him mostly came from the human world. Let alone something like this. He even only had a bit of memory of this world. So… How am I supposed to know?!

"They hid it, remember?" Tania reminded him. That pretty much explained that I was not the one to blame. It made me feel better since Sarael's statement made me feel like a dumbass.

He clicked his tongue.

"Tch! Right. I forgot. They only tell it to the next ruler," said Sarael.

"Why didn't Lord Damon tell me either?" I complained again. From his statement, I bet I should have known this from Lord Damon. But somehow he didn't tell me and preferred to troll me than tell me something important like this.

This time, it was Nefaris who answered me.

"Judging from his personality, I guess he assumes you already know it either from Lilieth, your generals, or wherever it is. But since Lilieth is busy she hasn't told you yet." Her statement reminded me of my first encounter with Lord Damon in the human world about how he assumed I knew how to use Lilieth's Demon's Clothes skill.

Nefaris turned to my servants. "And I don't know why they didn't think to tell you," she added.

Upon her words, one of my servants decided to open her voice.

"Um… pardon me. But we don't know either," said Yuffy, glancing at her dad and mom in turn.

"Only the next ruler and the demon lord's descendants should know about it. So we can't tell them," Tania stated. Which meant even my generals didn't know this.

"We even just found out because of the last great rebellion. Lilieth was seriously injured and just lost her unborn son. The king was alone. So we, the four generals, forced ourselves to back him up as soon as we got better. Some demon kind couldn't make peace, so we ended up killing them. As for the other, the king asked us to bring him its Demon's Reign. So he could control the territory remotely. The officers only need to report important decisions to him," Tania continued. Somehow I preferred to digest the explanation from Tania than Sarael.

Her explanation startled me.

'What? The demons can control a territory remotely?' Think again, Nefaris could as far as move the trees, forest, and everything as long as it was in her territory. So even though this sounded like bullshit, I couldn't say anything. Well, even I turned sex into my power, that sounded more bullshit than anything.

It explained why I saw a lot of territory reports on Lord Damon's desk. Come to think again, as long as I read articles and news in the demon world, I had never found any complaints about an incompetent officer or government staff. Arguments and differences of opinion did exist. But all of them were experts in their own fields.

"Okay. I assume that Damon is dumb enough to think his son understands everything." Nefaris scoffed. Even after becoming my partner, she still didn't like Lord Damon.

"Do any of you want to explain what a Demon's Reign is?" I decided to cut the chit-chat and asked for their explanation.

"It's the territory core which is connected to the ruler of the territory itself. Or rather, it is connected with the knowledge about the territory, the civilians, and everything that happens in the city. So in other words, you can get information from the first ruler to the last as long as you claim it. In that way, the knowledge will be passed down from generation to generation and what is left is how wise a demon lord is to lead that territory since he has got all the knowledge to handle it. It's the demon world's mechanism to prevent a territory from dying or being destroyed," Tania gave me a long explanation.

"Demons attend to kill each other and it is something common in the past, especially during the early era of the demon world. And the ancient demons were more brutal and skillful than they are now," Sarael continued.

"And stupid. Don't forget about that," Nefaris added sarcastically.

It made all of us turn our attention to her.

To which she replied with a frown.

"What?" Her eyes glanced at us from side to side. "I'm serious. I played one or two tricks with some of them when I was younger."

The others answered with shook their heads and smiled faintly. While Tania continued her explanation.

"Anyway. They used their power to fight every day and it did a lot of damage to this world. Then to prevent destruction, a strange phenomenon began to occur. One by one the territory cores appeared in unexpected places, in hope the demons could understand their pain. The battle was reduced after that. At least, the useless one. Instead, the battle for the core began. Some demons even treated them as their trophies."

"But in the end, none of them can hold too much territory. So the strong greedy demons died one by one. While demons who can defend the core territory start building a civilization. And we call them the first generation of the demon lords," Sarael added.

"Later, they call the core Demon's Reign to make it less obvious and prevent the power struggle like the past," stated Nefaris.
