566 The Dark Lord (1/2)
”The Dark Duke?”
There was a calmness at the forum.
After a while, someone asked with a doubtful tone, ”Who's that? I've never heard of him.”
”Yeah, there's no such person on the Divine Roll.”
”Is he a hidden Immortal State Warrior from the West? How can he defeat everyone in the East all by himself?”
People wondered.
Ye Qingcang, Lin Shuming, Watanabe, Yao Daoyi, Li Changsheng, Tantai Qingxuan… There were at least a dozen Immortal State Warriors in the East and a few of them had even reached the peak stage.
But the Western World only had Damon and the Three Lords of the Underground World. Together with the Dark Duke, could they really defeat the East?
”The Dark Duke has never appeared on the Divine Roll, but he's the one who arranged it centuries ago,” the Observer said.
”What?”
Everyone was surprised.
Someone who could arrange the Divine Roll surely had overwhelming powers. The CIA could do that because they were supported by the invincible forces of the United States. If every Tom, Dick and Harry claimed that they ranked the Immortal State Warriors in the world, they would probably have been killed.
”The Dark Duke you're talking about, could he be… the Dark Lord?” an experienced netizen suddenly said.
”The Dark Lord really exists?” someone exclaimed.
Someone has been controlling everything behind the Dark World since ancient times. The many rules that were set in place—including the categorization of the mercenary groups, bounty hunters and the Extraordinary, as well as the ranking on the big rolls and the ranking of the assassin organizations—all of it was set by the Dark Lord.
The Dark World's ability to thrive and stay away from the suppression of the superpowers was also due to the Dark Lord's power.
Rumor had it that he was the controller behind the Western World. Countless consortiums and countries were manipulated by the Dark Lord. Even the few Immortal State Warriors of the West World had to obey his orders.
But it was only a legend. Nothing had ever proved his existence.
Being able to manipulate all the European countries sounded like a joke.
England and France were both the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council. Their nuclear power could destroy the world anytime.
”Yes, he's the Dark Lord.”
The Observer nodded unexpectedly.
This time, everyone was surprised beyond measure.
”Impossible!”
Many of them couldn't believe it.
”To be exact, the Dark Lord is not a person; it is a nation, a department, a group of people. The Dark Lord is only their leader,” the Observer said.
With his explanation, the netizens on the forum finally knew the truth.
England had established a department, centuries before the British Empire was thriving, which recruited the top fighters of the underground world in Europe to contend against the Christian Church.
Vampires, werewolves, Dark Warriors, wizards and witches, all of them could enter.
The department was called the ”Dark World Arbitration Department,” which was headed by the Dark Duke.
The Dark Duke led such a department three centuries before and had gathered the Overlords of all Europe. He had also implemented rules for the Dark Powers all over the world to consolidate their might and raise a front against the Christian Church together.
The war between the Dark World Arbitration Department and the Christian Church lasted for a few centuries.
