Chapter 418 (1/2)
Everyone’s jaw dropped to the ground. That demon in the image was Y’zaks.
The giant demon was standing on a piece of cracked, scorched earth. The land under his feet was burning while behind him was a distorted chaos which looked like a door to the endless dark abyss. The demon’s body was scarred, molten iron dripped down from his wound on the ground. The iconic broken horn and body shape was undoubtedly that of Y’zaks.
At the same time, countless demons with the same scars were surrounding the image. These demons were like knights swearing allegiance to their leader guarding around him. However, the blurry background left one wondered where the location was.
“I’ve almost ruled the whole world.”‘Y’zaks’ was making a rumbling noise in the visual clip. “My failure is insignicant. There will be a new demon taking over the artifact I have left behind and regaining the world dominating power! I’ve buried my infinite strength and wisdom in Osidian Plain. Within a thousand years, a new demonic king will be born and taking over my scepter to destroy your puny world!”
As he visual clip flashed, ‘Y’zaks’ and the last remaining hundreds of thousands of demons began to leap into the endlessly dark gateway as if they would rather go into exile in a different dimension than getting defeated by puny creature like human.
That was all about the visual clip and the rest was just static.
They exhanged look with one another. Vivian couldn’t help but say, “I think… I think that is Y’zaks.”
Y’zaks was no less dumbfounded. He scratched his bald head and said, “But I don’t recall I have ever said that things… I don’t even recall that there’s an artefact. I was so badly beaten back then, who would have the time to finding a successor?”
Nangong Wuyue looked up and asked as she taught Lil Pea swirling in the water. “Are you sure you don’t have a brother whom you have lost contact with?”
Y’zaks rolled his eyes. Clearly there were only one great demon in a thousand years, no mother was terrific enough to give birth to two demonic kings at the same time. Lanina, who was beside him, frowned. “I feel that demon in the visual clip is weird. Though it looks like him, sounds like him, but his aura is totally different. And the conduct of the demon in the visual clip is somewhat unnatural like he was acting.”
“You mean he is fake?” Vivian’s brow twitched upward. “Who could it be?”
“It’s hard to say.” Lanina spread out her hand. “I don’t see the point. There’s nothing to gain by faking the a ‘dead’ demon king. The only reason I could think of is to cause the Allied Army to plunge in chaos. But that effect won’t last. Even if the Allied Army believes in it, they wouldn’t stay in the demonic world for a thousand years for that prophecy. But then as fake as that demon in the image is, it does look like my king. It makes people wonder who is it.”
“Y’zaks lookalike has leave thing behind.” Hao Ren scratched his chin, looking with interest at the crystal. “It seems that Y’zaks is influential. Could it be that the new demon king is making his debut announcement in advance?”
No one say a word because they found the situation so strange that they didn’t what to make of it. After a while of silence, Lily suddenly clapped her hands and said, “Eh, I think I have found something suspicious!”
Everyone stared at the husky. Lily pointed at the crystal and asked, “Who was the one holding the crystal shooting the video?”
Everyone: “…”
“That’s what you come up with after so long?” Vivian was half-crying and half-laughing. “Is knowing who held the crystal shooting the video important?
“Of course.” Lily said. “Would you ask a cameraman record your suicide? The scene in the visual looks like a battlefield. And in that case, don’t you feel it strange that a cameraman was willing to risk death taking the video? Which cameraman would want to do that? And look at the last scene.”
Asking Lanina to replay the visual, Lily let everyone pay attention to the final moment when ‘Y’zaks’ led the last remaining demons leaping into the dark door. “Just take note the jerk of the visual—this tells us that the crystal wasn’t placed on the ground but someone was a tic or an impassioned emotions while recording the clip…”
At the end of the visual, the dark gateway closed slowly and this scene lasted for a while. Lily explained. “Obviously the cameraman was still outside the gateway…”
Vivian was flabbergasted. “Whoa, I’m blown away by Doggie’s observativeness.”
