817 Needing an Answer Fas (1/2)

Karwenz saw nothing but pale white in front of him after returning from death. He felt some ringing in his ears and also an uncomfortable and powerful urge to vomit due to the condition of this physical body.

It was expected that his vision wouldn't recover immediately. It would take time getting used to eyes that hadn't been used for quite a while. This physical body that Karwenz had prepared for himself had been sleeping for almost a month.

This body hadn't eaten or drank anything for the past month. Plus, due to the special condition of this body, the mortal's body had already reached its extreme limit.

If it wasn't for this body originally belonging to an excellent swordsman, then ”he” would likely have to first rest properly for half a year in order to recover.

”Bro, I'm going to play outside now.”

Karwenz spoke raspily through the dry lips of his new body, repeating the last words he just spoke earlier. This was a sign that his soul had synchronized with his new physical body.

”You're not allowed to!”

Karwenz had just woken up from his body's deep sleep and hadn't even gotten accustomed to the changes of his new body when a low roar greeted him with rejection.

Karwenz wasn't greeted with welcoming servants or the sight of a busy construction site as he expected. He couldn't believe how this person filled with vicious intentions for him had arrived here.

”Roland?”

The demon elites that Karwenz personally selected were now nothing more than torn flesh and blood. A certain blonde-haired Holy Knight had his hands wrapped around the neck of a beautiful female devil.

”Hahahaha, as expected of Roland. I never expected that you would appear here.”

Karwenz paused in surprise for a moment, and then actually started laughing out loud.

Meanwhile, I was also rather surprised.

Karwenz had the same familiar blonde hair, familiar blue eyes, familiar face, but a completely different… gender.

”Karwenz? Leona?”

I couldn't help but wonder out loud. Even though I could clearly sense that the person before me was that bastard younger twin brother of mine, and even though I had already expected this possibility, I was still quite shocked when it really happened in front of me.

”My foolish little brother… sister! Ahem, as I expected, Leona was your backup physical body from the very start!”

Karwenz had just reincarnated himself into the body of Leona, the saintess of the Church of Sword and Thunder!

This Chaos Girl had been able to avoid the slaughtering between the Chaos Girls and was instead bound to the altar for the door to the dimensional barrier, as if she was a sacrifice. It had all been for this moment.

”For demons, descendants are a type of wealth as well. However, you really are insane for going as far as you did.”

Just as how Karwenz had previously possessed Reyne, any blood-related descendant of a Demon Noble or Demon Lord had the possibility of being possessed and controlled by one's ancestor.

For any half-demon descendant, it wouldn't be much to be summoned by their own bloodline to act as free labor. The most pitiful end was to become a backup physical body for one's own ancestor.

The descendant's consciousness and will would be deleted. Their knowledge and power would become food for the ancestor. Everything that the descendant had worked hard to obtain would all be devoured. Every bit of the descendant's existence would be eliminated.

It was common for powerful Demon Gods and Demon Lords to revive in a descendant's body after dying in battle. However, this would only be a final backup plan, as taking over the descendant's body would mean losing all of their accumulation in their original body and having to start all over again.

The descendants would typically only receive a portion of the bloodline's power. Their bloodline strength and upper potential would always be far weaker than the original Demon God or Demon Lord's. It would be quite difficult to surpass the original's strength, so no powerful demon would choose this method unless it was absolutely necessary.

However, Karwenz was different, incredibly different.

I had noticed since the very start that something was really odd about Leona's demon baby in her womb.

”Such a powerful and pure high-level demon bloodline. This is an investment that can affect one's foundational power level. This can't possibly be an accident. Most critically of all, this baby won't possibly have a soul.”

After I secretly performed a series of dissection experiments on Leona… er, I meant examinations, I discovered to my astonishment that my future ”nephew” was actually a dead baby with no soul at all.

The baby was only a pure amalgamation of the power of Chaos. Although Leona was his mother, technically she was nothing more than a host. Karwenz had actually created him by separating off a significant portion of himself.

Once this baby matured and grew up, even if he was unable to swiftly achieve Karwenz's power level, it would only be a matter of time before he became a powerful God.
