The demon suddenly became very agitated: "Three years after three years, more than thirty years have passed."
"Finally, today, you've been exposed by that terrifying human's attack." A cold smile appeared in Kado's eyes.
“I never expected that the Phoenix family would be secretly colluding with the Hand of Shadows in the Underworld. Hales, what else do you have to say?”
Dressed in exquisite robes and cloaks, with flowing red hair and an incomparably handsome appearance, Sazex looked at Hales calmly, his gaze revealing no emotion whatsoever.
"This is slander." Hales was furious and agitated, and at the same time felt a great sense of crisis.
Once the two true demon kings have sealed the Phoenix family's claim of colluding with the Hand of Shadows, their family will be instantly plunged into the abyss, never to recover.
Hales' expression was extremely solemn. He placed his right hand on his chest and looked up at the gray sky: "I, Hales, swear by my soul to the Mother of the Underworld that my Phoenix family has not colluded with the Hand of Shadows. Otherwise, I will let my soul burn to death and fall into the abyss forever."
hum! !
In an instant, a massive, incredibly complex gray magic circle flashed out from the sky to everyone's surprise, then instantly contracted and appeared on Hals's body, while an indescribable aura of majesty emerged.
Within the gray magic circle, Hales' body was engulfed by a layer of gray, his entire being resembling a two-dimensional drawing that had lost its color.
Enveloped by the primal power, Hales felt only coldness from body to soul, but his eyes were filled with unwavering determination and magnanimity.
The gray magic circle appeared and disappeared in the blink of an eye, but for the countless demons around it, it felt like an eternity.
Similarly, Seraph and Sazex exchanged glances, because Hales was alright. Their eyes met, then looked away.
Hales, his body stiff, slowly opened his mouth: "I...I'm fine."
boom!!
Hales unleashed a raging phoenix flame from his body, his aura surging. He looked at Sazex and the other man and said in a deep voice, "I have proven the innocence of my Phoenix family with my life. Now, I ask you two to give my Phoenix family an explanation."
"Even if you have inherited the name of the True Demon King, you cannot wantonly slander a high-ranking demon family."
Seraphine nodded slightly, somewhat surprised: "It seems the Phoenix family is fine, but that only means your Phoenix family is fine, not that you are without problems."
After saying that, Seraphru looked at the demon spy who also looked incredulous: "I'm sure there was a reaction at the time."
Kado quickly replied, "Yes, Lord Leviathan, I can confirm that the artifact you gave me reacted the moment that person suppressed us with a single punch."
"Let me see it."
"Yes."
puff!
The demon's claws, sharp as blades, sliced open its own thick left arm, revealing a palm-sized, mysterious black disc through the bloody flesh.
"The Imitation Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams Mirror of the Celestial Surveillance Association, no, it's a real divine artifact!" Hales was stunned. At the same time, a shadowy look flashed in the eyes of a demon king behind him.
"That's right. Back then, the Human Emperor of Time, who was one of the council members, partially reversed time in that place and obtained a strange clue to the soul's aura."
Chapter 114 Heaven-Covering Dragon Claw (Second Update)
As he spoke,
With a slight beckoning, the disc embedded in the demon's flesh flew out and was cleaned of its grime by a flame before falling into Serafru's hands.
"Although I was surprised that you could change your soul aura, you still revealed your true form when faced with the threat of death, and were sensed by the Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams Mirror." Seraphlus swept past Hals and landed on the two Demon King-level powerhouses behind him.
“You…” Hales turned around, his incredulous gaze falling on his two kinsmen.
He knew he wasn't, and he proved with his life that his family hadn't colluded with that force, so the only explanation was...
boom!!
puff...
Suddenly, the demon king to the left behind Hales unleashed power comparable to Hales's, piercing through the chest of the wary demon king beside him with a single blow.
"Hades, you..." Hales was shocked and furious.
"Hehehehe... I didn't expect you to actually find me." Wisps of pitch-black energy, exuding a maddening aura, emerged from the demon king.
"It's you, Hades. No, you're not just Hades anymore."
Sazex looked calmly at the demon king shrouded in an aura of evil darkness: "I'll tell you how they acquired all those latest things."
"With the fusion of Hades' soul, which is in charge of the Phoenix family's logistics and resource management, and the help of cover, I'm not surprised that they were able to get those things."
"My two Demon Lords, I never expected that my Phoenix family would have a traitor. I am very sorry, but I beg you to allow me to personally take him down and punish him for treason."
At this moment, a shocked Hales only wanted to take down Hades himself, and he had to, because Hades knew too many Phoenix family secrets.
If they were to fall into the hands of Sazex and his men, aside from the issue of leaked secrets, a massive purge of the Phoenix family, starting with Hades, would be inevitable.
“You can’t take him down.” Sazex shook his head slightly.
Then Sazex and Seraphlus exchanged a glance and said calmly, "To prevent any accidents, I'll take action. Hopefully, I can get some useful information out of him."
Seraph nodded slightly, her gaze turning cold: "Hmm, a powerful Demon Lord-level traitor must know a lot about the Hand of Shadows. I'm very curious to know how they've managed to remain hidden for so many years."
boom!!
Sazex was enveloped in boundless red light, an astonishingly powerful magical force that resonated with the heavens and earth, giving everyone a sense of facing divine might.
Seeing Hadessa's gloomy expression, Zex reached out, and in an instant, a huge red magic circle appeared in the sky, emitting a blood-red light like that of hell that enveloped the entire city.
Hades, who was targeted by Sazex, was locked in place by a terrifying force that descended from the sky, unable to move, and the surrounding space was frozen like divine iron.
"Is this the power of the world's laws that the true Demon King possesses?" Feeling the oppressive force around him, as dense as a bottomless abyss of cold, Hales' eyes were filled with envy and shock.
Only by inheriting the true names of the four Demon Kings can one gain recognition from the Underworld and condense one's own power of world laws.
"You're still as arrogant as ever, thinking that these are all the tricks I have up my sleeve?" Hades, who was still imprisoned, smiled sinisterly, and then a terrifying burst of energy emanated from his body.
Rumble!!
Hades then self-destructed.
Just then, hundreds of demons in the city below suddenly unleashed a corrupt and insane power, which then collapsed and exploded.
The explosion of hundreds of elite three-star and four-star demons not only attracted everyone's attention, but the power of the explosion also shook the binding force.
At the same time, a powerful gray dragon claw that blotted out the sky tore through the void in the distance, landing directly on the magic circle that had sealed off the entire city of Sazex with terrifying force.
boom!!
The dragon claw forcefully tore a crack in the magic circle.
Everything happened in the same instant. Just as a crack was torn in the magic circle, a black light burning with phoenix flames shot out at an astonishing speed from the energy shockwave caused by Hades' explosion, and approached the crack in the blink of an eye.
"Go that way." Seraphlus's black hair danced wildly, and the terrifying power of the True Demon King within her erupted, transforming her into a black sun and appearing before the rift in an instant.
Roar……
A violent dragon roar resounded from the void, and another dragon claw emerged from the void, tearing through space and descending with terrifying force to block Serafru.
"Now that you're here, don't leave." A point of blue appeared in the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a blue ocean that submerged the entire world. A figure emerged from the center of the ocean, surrounded by terrifying primal power.
Just as the blue ocean erupted, the traces left by the river view were also cut off, making it impossible to watch anymore.
"Heh... This show looks pretty good. The strongest awakened human, the true Demon King of the Underworld." Jiang Jing, sitting in his computer chair, withdrew his gaze, stroked his chin, and chuckled.
He was originally a member of the play, but just as he was about to get caught up in the big picture created by coincidence, he suddenly broke free and jumped out to the surprise of many people.
From the bet between Rias and Riesel to the white-haired girl contacting him, and the subsequent update of his identity on the association's official website by higher-ups the next day, what started as a mere coincidence eventually escalated into a complex web of events thanks to the tacit cooperation of various factions.
The various forces involved in this network have different goals. For example, some are only targeting the so-called Shadow Hand, while others want to take advantage of the situation to suppress or even eliminate the Phoenix family.
There was also a plan to gradually draw Jiang Jing into the underworld, but because he became too deeply involved in these matters, he was unable to extricate himself and ultimately joined the association.
Jiang Jing didn't pay attention to these things at first. He wasn't omniscient or omnipotent, and his intention to help Rias was only because it concerned his interests.
Originally, he only planned to easily crush the firebird and go back to cook, but after realizing something was wrong, Jiang Jing, who also had an ulterior motive, seized the opportunity and forcefully descended into the underworld, attracting everyone's attention.
Finally, Jiang Jing destroyed the Phoenix family's magic array with a single punch, killed thousands of elite demons, and displayed his power before suddenly and cleanly leaving, leaving everyone stunned.
When the four demon kings were killed, the bloodlines of the three Phoenix family members activated automatically. Jiang Jing also sensed the strange soul aura leaked during the resurrection, but he had no interest in paying attention to it.
Jiang Jing's goal was to obtain the pure psychic power test results, conveniently resolve the troubles caused by his involvement with Rias's Phoenix family, probe the upper limit of power in this world, and at the same time reveal a sinister smile to announce his existence to the high-ranking members of various forces.
All four objectives were achieved perfectly, and the person extricated themselves from the situation without any trouble.
As Jiang Jing's strength gradually recovers, it will be inevitable that he will have friction and contact with the major forces in this world. Jiang Jing knows that this is unavoidable.
Unless he's willing to keep hiding.
However, there is no one in this world who can make him cower and continue to hide.
Freed from his constraints, Jiang Jing only wanted to live freely according to his own wishes, with no one able to control him and no desire for anyone to disturb him.
So instead of waiting for others to test him, he might as well take the initiative to flex his muscles. With his current strength as a King-level Awakened, he has already reached the upper echelons of this world, and there is no need to doubt that anyone would want to offend him.
In particular, this powerful figure was not interested in anything and had no intention of joining any faction; his attitude was detached from worldly affairs.
Similarly, the Human Race Sky Watch Association, which is now on the same side as Jiang Jing, is also quite helpless about Jiang Jing's personality.
The white-haired loli told him so many secrets today to create a sense of urgency in him that humanity is in imminent danger and needs his help to resist it.
Unfortunately, although Jiang Jing felt that they had done a good job over the years, he had no intention of paying attention to them. He always maintained a detached and indifferent attitude towards the world.
Of course, if things go smoothly in the future, Jiang Jing wouldn't mind helping them out, because without their support, Jiang Jing wouldn't be able to coast along like this every day.
After all, when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact, let alone in a peaceful society.
"Sora, haven't you taken a shower yet?" Just as Jiang Jing was lost in thought, Shiina Mashiro, with her wet hair flowing down her shoulders, opened the door, casually closed it, and walked in wrapped in a bath towel.
"Oh, wait a bit." Jiang Jing looked at the girl.
In front of Jiang Jing, Shiina Mashiro simply took off her bath towel, dried her hair, threw the towel aside, and picked up the panties and pajamas that Jiang Jing had found for her on the bed and put them on.
"Sorata, Ayano called me today to ask if you want to publish your EVA." After Jiang Jing finished taking a shower, Shiina Mashiro sat at the low table, looking at Jiang Jing across from her, who was drawing on his hands, with some boredom.
Today she has completed six original drafts. Although she was dissatisfied with Jiang Jing's requirement that she could only draw about six drafts a day, Shiina Mashiro obediently complied.
As for Jiang Jing, he had just finished showering and had nothing to do, so he decided to finish drawing the sequel to the first volume of EVA and then color Shiina Mashiro.
"EVA? How did she know?" Jiang Jing looked up and asked curiously. "You told her."
“Ayano also follows your Weibo account. She asked me about it this morning after seeing it,” Mashiro answered honestly.
"I don't care." Jiang Jing shrugged. In the end, when he drew these things, his only thought was to publish them and make money, even though he's not short of money now.
"The question is, can you handle it? There are still about twenty pages left to draw in the first volume of Toradora! Are you not going to draw the second and third volumes as well? Or are you going to have Ayano find another artist to draw them?"
"The drawing, the Toradora! manga series, is not to be given to anyone else." Shiina Mashiro sat up straight and said seriously.
"Uh... okay, you draw it."
