Rebirth of the God Hunter Legend

Chapter 198 Betty's Absolute Control

"The Thirteenth Demon God Temple is a unique existence in the Demon Realm. This temple is not recognized by the Demon Gods themselves, yet their status must be acknowledged."

Ling Chuan frowned. "The only special existence?"

Alice nodded. "Throughout the entire Demon Palace, there are no subordinate Demon Kings, no loyal followers. All that exists are the demon 'death warriors' who are completely enslaved and controlled by Lady Betty."

"With the end of the cataclysm of the gods, Lady Betty disappeared along with the other demons. The assassins she had previously commanded all regained their senses, becoming bewildered and homeless."

Ling Chuan lowered his eyes upon hearing this and looked at Betty with a sense of emotion. It turned out that besides her inspiring journey to godhood, she also had this special situation.

"Originally, given the resistance of the combat-type demon lords under the Twelve Demon Gods Temple towards Lady Betty, the plan was to annihilate this entire force of 'death warriors'; however, these 'death warriors' had accumulated countless merits and combat experience through long-term life-and-death battles."

"Previously, Lady Betty forcibly suppressed them, preventing them from converting their battle merits and experience into strength; now that Lady Betty's absolute control has been temporarily removed, they have instantly completed a high-intensity advancement. In the entire assassin group, eight people have been born at the advanced Demon King level; the number of Demon King level experts is even in the double digits; even the beast warriors who were once at the Radiant Silver level have all squeezed into the ranks of the unparalleled, forming a terrifying fighting force that requires half of the Demon God Temple's power to contend with."

! !

Ling Chuan was secretly shocked. He was very familiar with this promotion process. Back then, [Black] was enslaved by him to fight beyond his level, accumulate a lot of experience, evolve to the Silver level, defeat a group of Bronze races, and obtain the status of leader. He never thought that Betty was the originator of this business.

"Faced with this situation, the Twelve Demon God Temples believed that forcibly eliminating them would be extremely costly, and it was very likely that they would lose eight hundred of their own for every thousand enemies killed. So the annihilation plan was shelved." Alice continued, "As time went by, the demon scouts of the Twelve Demon God Temples suddenly discovered that this group of powerful 'death warriors' seemed to have lost their will to live. They did nothing but stand there in a daze all day long, and they didn't even have simple communication."

"Upon realizing this, the Demon God Temple forces were extremely excited and began to summon [Word Demons] (ps: similar to persuaders among humans) to persuade 'death warriors' to settle in their territories and integrate into their group."

"Most assassins rise to high positions from mindless beasts. Their lives consist of nothing but fighting and obeying others. They have never had their own thoughts and are currently in a daze."

"Suddenly, someone tried to win them over and promised them a superior affiliation. Almost without hesitation, they followed Yan Mo and joined the Demon God Temple."

"With some benefiting, the other demon temples naturally did not want to fall behind, and they all sent their speech demons to persuade others; in this way, Lady Betty's assassins were divided up among the twelve demon temples."

Those who acted early and gained the allegiance of the Supreme Demon King and ordinary Demon Kings became the representatives of the Demon Realm's power; conversely, those who did not gain the allegiance of the Supreme Demon King and ordinary Demon Kings became vassals, thus forming the prototype of the Demon Alliance, a tripartite balance of power.

Hearing this, Ling Chuan's understanding of the demon race deepened once again, but the reduced difficulty of revenge mentioned by Alice was still not explained.

"So the assassins have a foreshadowing?"

With the necessary guidance, the answer could be obtained quickly. Seeing the messages flashing in the chat bar, Ling Chuan had no choice but to speed up the process.

"Of course!"

Alice's gaze fell on Betty, and she smiled, "The loyalty of the assassins cannot be changed, not even if the Twelve Demon Gods were alive; their current lucidity is merely due to Lady Betty's condition; once Lady Betty recovers, the assassins integrated into the Demon Alliance's upper echelons and even the Demon Alliance's legions will return to Lady Betty's control; more importantly, at this moment, the enemy is in the open while we are in the dark. Your Majesty only needs to hide Lady Betty as a trump card, and when war breaks out with the Demon Alliance, the former assassins will instantly defect, becoming our vanguard and instantly dismantling the Demon Alliance; at that time, Your Majesty can cooperate from within and without, and the chances of winning this battle will be enormous!"

!!!

Surprised!

Who wrote this text? A main quest can actually lead to such tactical connections; it's truly fascinating, at least even a thirty-something soul like his can listen with great interest.

"understood."

Ling Chuan chuckled and stroked Betty's curled corners, sighing softly, "It's a pity this girl seems to have forgotten her memories from her time as a demon god, otherwise I really wanted to test her ability to control the demon race."

Alice wasn't surprised. Although she was weak, she could still see through Betty's message. She smiled and said, "There is still plenty of time. I believe that during this period, Your Majesty will definitely have a way to awaken Lady Betty's memory and restore her former glory."

Ling Chuan smiled without saying a word. He was quite clear about the method of awakening, which was nothing more than upgrading and advancing. However, compared to Betty in her original form, he might prefer her daughter form. After all, the shadow of Betty's siege in his previous life was still there, and he really didn't want to return to that state.

"By the way, where is the fifth fragment of Samigina?" Ling Chuan changed the subject and decided to get back to the main topic.

"Nowhere else but the Demon Realm." Possessing super intelligence, Alice immediately responded, "The Demon Realm's main city, [Ogrand]."

"what?"

The Demon Realm's Main City?

Alice explained, "Strictly speaking, the fifth component cannot be called a fragment. It is a single entity called the Twilight Orb. It is a special item that changes its appearance when separated from Samigina and has little use when not combined with Samigina."

"Back then, the First Supreme Demon King of the Third Demon Temple, [Sangeshus], accidentally discovered it inside the belly of a dragon descendant in its growth stage; however, he did not know much about it, only that it contained abundant demonic energy and had a rather exquisite appearance, so he inlaid it on his throne as an embellishment for the throne."

This……

Ling Chuan was ashamed. As expected of a demon king who worships physical strength, his pursuit of beauty is just as...low as commonly believed.

"What should we do then? One of the three elders of the Demon Alliance, the throne of Shan Ge Xiu Si, must be guarded by a powerful person. I am not qualified to approach him at all."

Indeed, in terms of strength, a level 20 demon like him couldn't do anything. However, obtaining the Twilight Orb wouldn't be difficult. He could easily exchange the missing orb using the [Item Conversion Array] in his inventory, thanks to the unique properties of Lisamikina and the four missing fragments. But in doing so, he would lose the shortcut to collecting [Artemis], resulting in a huge loss for him.

why?

The answer is simple. Upon careful consideration, one side possesses a supreme magical artifact whose location information is known, lacking only the method of acquisition. Once obtained, it can resurrect three supreme-level demon kings and create two powerful demon warriors. However, the utilization rate of these three supreme-level demon kings, the degree of limitation, and the possibility of being constrained by the world's balance are still unclear. The investment risk is extremely high, and the returns are unknown.

The other is a supreme artifact with no information or method of acquisition. Once obtained, it can be fused into his main weapon, becoming the foundation for him to dominate the divine revelation ahead of everyone else. Its utilization rate is clear, its limitations are small, and the possibility of being constrained by the world's balance is almost non-existent. The investment risk is extremely small, and the returns are huge.

Most importantly, there is only one item conversion array. To obtain another one, you can only do so through other lucky draws and legendary dungeons.

The former is not only a rare opportunity, but the chance of drawing it is also uncertain; the latter requires a certain level, and based on the leveling time in his previous life; even with various special leveling methods, it would take about a year to reach the legendary level. A year, to be frank, he couldn't wait that long, so considering all three, it's obvious which one to choose.

Please bear with me and watch carefully, this part is actually very important, so I'd better explain it clearly.

The next chapter will then conclude.
