Rebirth of the God Hunter Legend

Chapter 194 The Demon King's Origin
A series of system notifications left Ling Chuan stunned on the spot.

"Blood Rage Queen? Humanoid Mutant? Humanoid?!"

The humanoid BOSS is the third strongest demonic form after dragons and mythical beasts. It possesses demonic power, unparalleled wisdom and dominance, and is the root of the world's expansion of power.

For example, there's the ancient royal family member, the demon god of the Thirteen Demon God Temples, and Alice, the supreme demon king. However, no matter who it is, they all have extremely high status, a privilege that only high-ranking demons can possess. Or, they are the humans or demi-humans of the Imperial Federation who have fallen into demonhood and joined the demon race.

Bosses of this caliber are usually at least at the Crimson Sky level or higher, and those of higher caliber will directly challenge the legendary or even the unparalleled level!
But what about [Black]? A true grassroots individual, yet thanks to Alice's superhuman talent amplification, it successively gained [Root Evolution] and [Root Mutation], which are advanced states even higher than berserk. Moreover, it is only at the Radiant Silver level. A Radiant Silver level humanoid variant, a leader who has awakened the command skill, if it develops smoothly and is carefully nurtured, it will surely become a regional overlord in the future.

As for the territorial battle 24 hours later, he was already full of confidence, and now he was absolutely certain of victory.

Ding!
Just as Lingchuan was expanding, the system bell rang again, the continuous sound resembling a grand spectacle of gongs, drums, and firecrackers!
System notification: The demonic race [Bloodborne Explosive Monkey] has received the boost from the [Super Intelligence Aura], raising the intelligence level of all members to [5]. Furthermore, due to the evolution and mutation feedback of [Blood Rage Queen Black] (humanoid variant), the entire race has been promoted to [Blood Rage Explosive Monkey] (half-orc humanoid), with all attributes increased by 10%.

System notification: The demonic race [Bloodborne Spider] has received the boost from the [Super Intelligence Aura], raising the intelligence level of all members to [5]. Furthermore, due to the evolution and mutation of [Blood Rage Queen Black] (humanoid variant), the entire race has been promoted to [Blood Rage Spider] (half-orc type), with all attributes increased by 10%.

System notification: The demonic race [Bloodborne Mad Rat] has received the boost from the [Super Intelligence Aura], raising the intelligence level of all members to [5]. Furthermore, due to the evolution feedback from [Blood Rage Queen Black] (humanoid variant), the entire race has been promoted to [Blood Rage Mad Rat] (half-orc humanoid), with all attributes increased by 10%.

System notification: ...

……

In just thirty seconds, apart from the [Demon Butterfly Royal Family], all nine other demonic races completed their intelligence level upgrades and evolved into half-orc humanoid forms.

What an outrageous phenomenon! They are all Silver-level, their intelligence is collectively at the Gold level, and their physical characteristics have risen to the Crimson Sky level. With such a demon force, who can stop its future development?

No, wait! Calm down.

Ling Chuan, who was excited, suddenly calmed down. From his perspective, the abnormal foundation of the demon attribute was definitely a surprise that made it impossible to remain calm. However, from the perspective of the entire game environment, it contained a huge crisis. The demon race is not like the players. The player environment emphasizes a balanced start, that is, every player starts from level 1 and gradually improves.

In this process, if you have a higher level and skill level than others, and more powerful resources and equipment, you can become a god in the eyes of players. As long as you don't challenge the rules or rush into the system, even if you are like [Black Coffin] who specializes in accepting kill orders, you will not be subject to the system's mandatory punishment.

On the other hand, the demon race is essentially subordinate to the Divine Revelation Continent, subject to the system's constraints and the balance of power. Its ultimate enemy is not the players, but the opposing faction set up from the beginning—the Imperial Federation!
While it's fine for someone to act alone and cause chaos, fighting against multiple players in the wild is a one-against-many battle. Even if they wipe out an entire group, the system will simply consider it a case of the player being outmatched and won't pay much attention. However, if someone acts arrogantly, believing that having power means they can act recklessly and maliciously by leading a well-known faction to attack players belonging to the [Imperial Federation], it will instantly escalate into [Factional Warfare]. If players are unable to withstand the onslaught and mass casualties occur, the Divine Revelation System will weigh the balance of power and issue a faction quest requiring powerful NPCs to join forces with players to [eliminate the Demon Realm's henchmen].

At that time, even if they cannot uproot him, this towering tree in the forest, they will still cause the mutated force he has painstakingly built to crumble.

"Alice."

Thinking of this, Ling Chuan turned and asked, "Could you tell me about the effects and limitations of super intelligence?"

Alice paused for a moment, then quickly replied, "Your Majesty, my royal talent has a ten-year reset time limit when released externally. To maximize the improvement in intelligence, I chose to release it on you. However, since you are the master of the entire 'Doomsday Cataclysm' and your bloodline strength is higher than mine, the effect of the super-intelligence talent will not affect you. Instead, it will indirectly spread to the entire force. This spread will still have an effect on the demonic races that are subsequently subdued, but..."

Alice paused at this point, as if preparing a more tactful way of putting it. Ling Chuan, without waiting for her to finish, continued, "But once the force disbands, the super-intelligent talent will lose its points and be reset to zero."

Alice nodded gently. "That's right."

As expected, his concerns were justified; it could only be used once every ten years, which meant there was only one chance. Therefore, he had to ensure that the apocalyptic catastrophe would last forever.

He has a sure-fire way to win territorial wars, but the Imperial Federation is absolutely not to be provoked. At least until the Doomsday Cataclysm grows to the legendary level or above, he needs to play it safe, develop steadily, and grow until he is no longer afraid of any combat power.

"Your Majesty."

With his mind made up, Alice's call reached his ears once again. Ling Chuan turned around, a questioning look on his face.

"Your subordinate... has one more request."

[Ding] System notification: Your companion [Alice] has sent you a request. Do you wish to listen?

nonsense!

Yes!
Alice's beautiful eyes sparkled, and after expressing her gratitude, she waved her delicate hand, causing three teardrop-shaped, dazzling crystals to appear between the two of them.

One on the left was silver-gray, with a dozen gray auras swirling around its crystal surface; one in the middle was bluish-green, with a dozen green auras swirling around its crystal surface; one on the right was scarlet, with a dozen blood-red auras swirling around its crystal surface. With their appearance, Ling Chuan clearly felt that the surrounding environment had changed. All the flowers and plants in the Flower Crown Courtyard were prostrate on the ground, as if they were being suppressed or were submitting.

"What is this?" Ling Chuan asked.

Alice pushed it in front of Ling Chuan, indicating that he should examine it himself.

Ling Chuan didn't mince words; he reached out and touched the green crystal in the center, and an information panel popped up.

【Demon Seed - Kiria】(Origin of the Demon King)

Note: The royal essence of the original Twelfth Demon God Temple, the third to high-level Demon King [Kirilia], was transferred to [Cocoon Rebirth] at the cost of [Alice]'s triple weakness, preserving a wisp of demonic source within it. Using special methods, it may be possible to activate the demonic source and revive it.

Ling Chuan was astonished and quickly activated another blood-red crystal!
【Demon Seed - Freya】(Origin of the Demon King)

Note: The Fifth Demon Temple contains the royal essence of the third to high-ranking Demon King [Freya]. At the cost of [Alice]'s triple weakness, the power of [Cocoon Rebirth] was transferred to reside within it, preserving a wisp of demonic source. Using special methods, it may be possible to activate the demonic source and revive it.

Ling Chuan didn't look at the third one, and said solemnly, "These are the three Supreme Demon Kings who were besieged along with you..."
