Chapter 405 - Time (1/2)
Chapter 405 Time
April 28th, 10:40 p.m.
The small town of Fortuna was already silent. The people here were like those in other cities, and no one dared to go out at night. They hid in their homes, sealed the doors and windows, and lit the lights, hoping that these lights could dispel the terrifying darkness in the night and allow dawn to come sooner.
But there were also people who were not afraid of the silent night… At this moment, in the small forest not far from Nero’s shop, a few figures gathered here.
Although Kyrie had already coaxed Sareth to sleep, Dante, Nero, Trish, Lady, and Nico were worried that their discussion would wake him up, so they had it here.
What Sareth had said during the day shocked everyone.
In particular, Trish was a demon. She was a demon created by Demon Emperor Mundus to confuse Dante and had an extremely similar appearance to Dante’s mother, Eva. Although she looked human, she was actually a proper demon… Even though she was a created demon, in her understanding, the Demon World was the home of demons, and she had always thought so.
However, what Sareth said overturned everything she knew.
From Sareth’s mouth, she learned that the so-called Demon World was only a so-called outpost. Behind the Demon World was a world called the Abyss, which was the home of all demons in the Infinite Worlds. She initially thought that Demon Emperor Mundus was the strongest and most terrifying demon, but from what Sareth said, she realized that there might be many demons like him in the Abyss…
Every time they thought about this, everyone felt a deep sense of helplessness and despair because they could not imagine what it would be like for a group of demons as powerful as Mundus to appear together.
Perhaps that was the true apocalypse…
Nico was smoking in silence, Trish and Lady did not say a word, and Dante and Nero were pacing back and forth. Everyone’s mind was in a mess.
Fortunately, this strange atmosphere did not last long. Dante broke the silence as he spread his hands and said, “Hey, don’t be like this. Are we going to stay like this until dawn? Give your opinions. How should we deal with that brat Sareth?!”
“Does this still need thinking?” Trish said. “Behind that kid is a powerful demon lord comparable to Sparda. No matter what he wants to do by getting Sareth to come to this world, it definitely won’t be a good thing. So my opinion is to prevent trouble before it happens and imprison Sareth! Or kill him directly! In short, we can’t let him mess around in this world.”
“Hey, he’s just a child!” Nico immediately retorted. “Perhaps he’s only being used by his demon foster father. Is there a need to be so extreme?”
Trish refuted, “It’s precisely because that demon might be using him that we have to stop him decisively. Are we going to let him go just because he’s a child? As you can see, Sareth is a child raised by demons. His worldview and his understanding are exactly the same as those of demons. He’s just a demon in human skin!”
“Hey, you make it sound like you’re not a demon in human skin!” Nico’s mouth was venomous as she retorted. “You’re a demon yourself. Are you on the demons’ side?”
“It’s not the same!” Trish said weakly.
At this moment, Lady said, “I think Nico is right. Even if Sareth has the worldview and understanding of demons, just like you, Trish, it’s not impossible to reverse this view…”
Trish looked at her and shut up resentfully.
Although when it came to matters relating to Dante, Trish and Lady often competed with each other. In fact, the two women were good friends in private. What Lady said now was actually biased toward Trish, so Trish could not say anything. Seeing that the three women were not arguing currently, Nero quickly said, “Actually, I feel that we haven’t grasped the main point. Although Sareth’s foster father is indeed a powerful demon, don’t you remember? Sareth said that his foster father can’t come to our world for the time being!”
