Defying the Fate of Beheading

Chapter 649 344: Divine Weapon Mass Production Plan, Who Says Fake Can't Beat Real

"So, the reason he came over is simply to protect you?"Beatrice glanced at her fiancé with a peculiar expression.

"Darling, do you know what you're saying? You're talking about something quite terrifying, which is that a demigod, and a male demigod at that, has suddenly set his sights on my husband, disregarding danger, and came all this way to protect you."

Louis was so annoyed by Beatrice's mischievous expression that he almost lost his temper:

"What does it have to do with me? Who knows what he's thinking?"

Beatrice patted his shoulder to comfort him: "Alright, it's not that I don't believe you, it's mainly because I find this fact so interesting, it's like listening to a story..."

Louis frowned and said:

"He said something that I care about."

"What did he say?"

"He said, 'The stars need a great sin to stand on the side of the world,' and judging by his expression, it didn't seem like a joke. It seemed more like he came to help me for this reason."

Beatrice pondered for a long time and finally said:

"If that's the case, why not find some time to meet the emperor? Regarding the secrets of the great sin, I think the emperor knows more than we do."

Louis nodded.

"Alright, then you ask the Forbidden Guard when His Majesty wakes up, and let him know, so that I can also understand the situation."

"Mm, you go ahead and sort out the spoils from the battlefield this time."

...

While the two of them went about their tasks, Louis found a place to start examining the treasures he had acquired this time.

First was the remnants of the Desolate Bone Great Demon incarnations, which, generally speaking, were the least valuable but most numerous.

Louis took the time to remotely access the Rose Doll's database to check the records about the Desolate Bone Great Demon.

The Desolate Bone Great Demon was not an original abyssal creature.

It is said that its path to becoming an abyssal creature was very rough.

According to many secret records passed down by the Ense Empire and the White Tower, it was originally a nameless bone demon in the nine layers of Hell.

A lower-level devil whose status in the nine layers of Hell was hardly better than that of an imp.

Until one day, it became one of the devils contracted by a top mage in a now-extinct Magic Realm.

That mage seemed to be researching some forbidden knowledge related to bloodline, and no one knows what exactly the Desolate Bone Great Demon encountered back then.

All that's known is that when it reappeared, it was already an anomaly among bone demons and defected to the Abyss.

It's important to know that the promotion of devils is much stricter than that of demons.

The lowest form among devils is the imp.

They are the twisted evil souls and the incarnations of corrupted and fallen mortal dead.

Due to the characteristics of the nine layers of Hell, when these imps are killed within Hell, they cannot be completely destroyed unless killed by a blessed weapon or doused with Holy Water from the Holy Spirit Church before resurrection.

Despicable and hideous imps can be promoted by a greater or higher devil to a lower devil.

Only a greater devil can promote a lower devil to a higher devil.

And only the lord of the nine layers of Hell can promote a higher devil to a greater devil.

This cruel promotion system, fully controlled by superiors, means that every form change is accompanied by immense pain and torture.

Except for the imps, which are basically used as livestock, lower demons such as bone demons are the lowest-ranking soldiers that can be considered devils in the narrow sense.

Logically, for this kind of soldier's rank advancement, permission from a higher devil is required.

But the Desolate Bone Great Demon broke this limitation, maintaining its form as a bone demon while becoming an exemplary life form.

Later on, it somehow completely severed its ties from the nine layers of Hell, becoming a member of the Bottomless Abyss instead.

In one abyssal blood battle after another, its strength grew more powerful.

But perhaps because of its unique nature, although its life level improved, its species did not change.

It simply maintained the form of a bone demon, as its body grew larger and its bones became more unbreakable.

One day, when a demon noticed, this bone demon had already ascended to a divine creature.

Later, it even completed the road to divinity, wholly becoming an Abyssal Grand Lord capable of wrestling with gods.

Because it holds some authority over death and secrets, it has cautiously and carefully expanded its power in the Abyss over the years, rarely fighting uncertain battles.

It's the epitome of a cautious demon.

After checking the relevant information, Louis felt quite speechless.

Before, he could never understand why that Desolate Bone Great Demon had such a strong killing intent toward him; now he more or less understood.

This guy belonged to the type who would never foolishly bluster like typical novel villains, then let the protagonist go, giving them time to grow.

Upon realizing that someone truly had the power to threaten it, it would unhesitatingly strike a fatal blow.

It's a pity that, where demons heighten their schemes, the skilled pathway is always higher.

Oh, originally fishing was just to see if there was a chance to catch a big one, but unexpectedly, someone really took the bait.

When it comes to being cautious, Louis dares to guarantee few could hide their cards as well as he did.

So the poor Desolate Bone Great Demon, after cultivating its top incarnation for many years, just fell pathetically over the Fallen Star Sea.

It's pitiable and lamentable to the point that he could only clap his hands in praise.

Hiss~ But one must say, being a seasoned old hand in the Bottomless Abyss, the incarnation of the Desolate Bone Great Demon, not only are the materials good, but there's also plenty to feast upon.

For Louis, who has always been troubled by how to improve the quality of mass-produced sword pellets, this is truly great stuff!
