Chapter 874 Recipe For Disaster.Chapter 874 Recipe For Disaster.
Demon gods don't have a fixed form. The shackles of the rules of the void universe that binds them are in the process of being broken. They are similar to Origin gods with supreme laws. Each cloud is different. Some might look similar with the same color but they are completely different.
WRATH and CARNAGE are both in the form of a red cloud. But one cloud is a floating sea of red fire and the other is a floating sea of blood. They are both red and they both influence everything that gazes at them with violence but they are different fundamentally. They are also very powerful.
What's worse is that they all came with a significant portion of their strength. Each cloud is as large as a continental landmass. That is enough energy within them to drown a hundred demon kings. As if that isn't enough, there are all 10 of the demon gods of the abyss here. It is a practical recipe for a disaster so he doesn't see how this can have a happy ending. He is just being realistic.
"If this is about me, then I am screwed. I am very screwed. I should kill myself as soon as possible." He warned himself.
Then he began to make his way to the floating structures. The floating structures can be compared to the council chambers of the gods. Except that it is for the rulers of the abyss. Some Divine planes hardly use them. The abyss hasn't used them in more than 10 million years. Gods can come together to make decisions that affect them but demons are not United enough for that to happen.
Demon Kings rarely kill each other because they don't benefit from it and death for them isn't permanent but that doesn't make them friendly with it each other. There are other reasons to fight such as wealth and power. It will take a superior power like a demon God to bring them together.
Even that will be difficult because demon gods are not trusted. An Oath that ensures the safety of the demon gods is needed to assure them before they can even have a meeting. And that will only happen when there's actually a matter that concerns all of the abyss. Such a thing hasn't happened in a long time.
Aeternus flew up with vigilance and uttermost caution. He is ready to commit suicide at the drop of a hat. The death of an Avatar shouldn't matter to him if he is killed by another demon king. But getting killed by a demon God is more than a problem for him. It is a calamity for him and probably for all of Legion.
It will be how the son of the sages managed to kill gods through their avatars. The main bodies of gods died with their avatars. This will be much worse than that because any demon god that manages to lay their hands on him might be able to also get the other legions through him. This is because a demon God is a virus. Those clouds are an amalgamation of tiny chaotic elements in the form of sin.
Demon gods are the embodiment of sin. That means that they are the manifestation of a sin. They have fused with their mark of sin and gained authority over that sin. They can use that privilege to turn whatever they come in contact with into their sin. It is like how chaos energy tries to break down and turn everything that is touched into more chaos energy.
Demon gods are invasive plagues. They cannot be killed even by world gods. They can only be resisted or forcefully overwritten with a supreme law. If they are not successfully resisted then you will become a part of them.
If one of them gets him, then it will be able to get his main body and it will also be able to get the other clones of legions. This is why he thinks the other demon kings who came in avatars and believe that it is enough to keep them safe are ignorant. They questioned his intelligence but they are the stupid ones.
He should not be here. He should be running away. But running away is useless if they are already on to him. So he has to take the risk to acquire information. He can't just run away in ignorance. It may be what they are expecting.
Besides, if they are specifically targeting him, then the message of a summons shouldn't have been sent to him. They would have kept their knowledge of him a secret, moved secretly, and come for him already. But they called a meeting for all rulers. This meeting should be dangerous only because he is in the presence of several demon Gods. That is unless this entire meeting is just to bait him. Anyway, he will find out soon.
The 10 floating seas noticed him. He is one of the few that came in their main bodies. He also has an energy that is very similar to theirs within him. Their interest was piqued immediately. They extended their senses to him to inspect what's so special about him but their probes were rebuffed by a layer of soul force.
They are more powerful than him but Legion-1's soul force is strong enough to resist them for a time even if they make direct contact with him. They will eventually break the defense of the soul force since Legion-1 doesn't have a supreme law. But for now, their indirect probes will remain ineffective on him.
The development surprised the demon gods. If they had a doubt before, they now know for sure that Aeternus is not what he seems. No demon king should be able to resist their inspection. They began conversing about him amongst themselves.
"Looks like I have been made." He sighed and thought to himself.
He felt it as they scanned him. The layer of soul force on him engaged with several intrusive and powerful forces and began to be depleted. It is as good as any sign that he is already in big trouble.
