CHAPTER 661: CHAPTER 441: DID YOU ALL FORGET ABOUT SAIN?

Western Continent, Great Demon City.

"Sister Onora, the Fallen Demon Egg is pulsating."

Inside the Priest’s palace, Onora lay on a mat woven from fragrant branches, her skin dazzling in the sunlight in stark contrast to the surrounding Demon Clan.

She was lost in thought, with the demeanor of a naturally oblivious older sister from next door.

A boy of Demon King Bloodline, whom she supported, jogged over curiously holding a green Fallen Demon Egg.

Onora glanced at it, raised her slender eyebrows, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face, transforming her aura from a naturally oblivious sister to cunning.

"It pulsates because it senses another of its kind, born in the same batch, is being used, so it’s excited."

"Does that mean it wants to be used too?" the boy asked. "Can I use it?"

"You already bear the Demon King’s blood, using it won’t enhance you much," Onora said, taking the Fallen Demon Egg. "It’s for rewarding those without the Demon King bloodline, in other words, passing your starting point to others."

The boy nodded ambiguously, "So does that mean I’m much stronger than those people?"

"Indeed, you’re much stronger than them."

Onora smiled, gently patting the boy’s head.

"But, this Abnormal Fallen Demon Egg’s effects aren’t just to grant Demon King bloodline; it modifies a fact."

"Anyone who successfully uses it will have their strength modified to appear as if they’ve been training with Demon King bloodline from birth until the moment of use. Also, the Abnormal Fallen Demon Egg can grant the user similar abilities to Unique Talents, though I have no idea what abilities they might gain."

"So, it might give birth to some terrifyingly strong monsters."

————————————

Royal City, Founding Square.

When the projection was thrown into the sky, the soldiers stopped fighting and fell into confusion, marking Eliphas’s defeat as certain.

"These are fabricated illusions! Do you believe the treasonous adventurer or me, who has saved the kingdom’s land multiple times!" Eliphas’s voice echoed across the square.

Seeing the soldiers waver, at that moment, Selene’s voice overpowered his.

"This is the truth: Eliphas colluded with the Demon Clan, covertly eroding the entire Kingdom!"

Held by Matilda and also flying in the air, Selene loudly recounted everything she had seen and heard in the Royal Palace, accusing him of his crimes.

She spoke quickly, almost without pause, fearing that speaking slower would lead to her being beastified.

"Enough..."

"All he has done so far was for the sake of controlling the state, sacrificing countless lives for evil experiments!"

"Stop speaking..."

"Not only were ministers and generals, but even I was injected with abhorrent blood, risking becoming a beast at any moment. If my death is inevitable, I at least hope my citizens can free themselves from this wicked conspiracy, whether you fight desperately or escape, that is my hope!"

"Selene!!!"

With a nearly furious shout, Eliphas instantly released a pseudo-legendary magic with his bracelet weapon, a "Sun" of light hurtled rapidly towards them, cutting off Selene’s voice, and she and Matilda dropped to the ground like birds without wings.

Yet this action almost confirmed Selene’s accusations against him; why else would he hurt someone?

The soldiers no longer wavered, immediately shifting alliances, raising weapons against Eliphas, hurling insults, preparing to attack...

Fingerley also breathed a sigh of relief, turning to glance at Eliphas from a distance, with the outcome decided, he quickly rushed to catch the falling Matilda.

"These... lowlifes!"

Eliphas’s meticulously groomed hair was completely disheveled, glaring at the army that turned hostile against him; why had this glorious day turned out like this?

At that moment, he spotted the white-robed Holy Light Church members among the crowd, also noticing some armed women with outstanding presence; he suddenly remembered his connections with the Church’s high-ranking members and that he had partial rights to use the "weapons" cultivated by the Holy Light Church—those women who only followed orders, whom he could command—

Almost as the thought emerged, a brown-haired one among the "weapons" women of the Holy Light Church stepped forward; Eliphas remembered her, seemed her name was Bright Light, was she coming to help him?

"Sisters, the day of awakening has arrived, knock that stinking man from the sky, and we will achieve great merit and become high-ranking officials, never to be defined by the Church again, we will be free!"

Bright Light rallied a call, and everyone gathered in response!

Eliphas’s heart skipped a beat or two, his emotions interrupted.

Looking around, utterly isolated, even his loyal Light Eagle Group mercenaries were surrounded by nearby soldiers, unable to move at all.

Years of planning suddenly shattered today; achieving greatness is difficult, but its destruction often comes in an instant, as mounds crumble due to an ant’s burrow.

Of course, if the mounds were built on a foundation of false trust, no ants are needed; perhaps a slightly larger wave can destroy it.

"Surrender, Eliphas!"

The voice of persuasion came, Eliphas’s eyes filled with blood, and he quickly pulled out a Fallen Demon Egg from his bosom.
