The Story Never Ends - Chapter 240

Although Averi was puzzled why the Lord didn’t know of such common knowledge, she didn’t dare to question him. Instead, she explained everything in detail.

“The mysterious Devil Saints who never show their faces to the outside world are the ones who rule this world. They have established their shrines in different parts of the Devil World, and we call them the Demon Shrines.”

“Around these shrines, there are cities built consisting of spectacular and humongous buildings where their descendants stay. Also, considered as the holy land of cultivation where the most powerful devils of this world reside.”

“The Devil Sovereigns are the ones who govern these cities as they are the top powerhouses below the Saint Realm. I heard that only Devil Kings and above who are capable of transforming into humans can enter the city.”

“But the strange thing is that, despite being powerful and capable of ruling the whole world, they only manage a certain portion of the devil world. Even though the holy lands are quite huge, they can’t compare to the size of the outside world.”

“Not only that, but they don’t even have a single ounce of influence outside the holy lands.” She paused there, letting Davion digest this information.

“I see.” Davion nodded and asked after thinking for a few seconds. “Do you mean to say the wastelands we are right now are way beyond the hold lands?”

“Indeed. That’s why you don’t need to worry about creating troubles here. With your strength at the Devil Emperor Realm, you can walk sideways in the outside world as they won’t bother anything about this place.” She replied.

“It’s weird. Aren’t the resources available here somewhat useful for them?” Although this was good news to him, he couldn’t help but ask with puzzlement.

“I don’t know.” She shook her head.

Davion turned towards the others, looking for an answer. But they similarly shook their heads.

“I don’t think anybody in the outer world knows this. Perhaps you can find some clues if you visit there.” Bjorn suggested.

Davion furrowed his brows and inquired with Malcolm at once.

“Eh! How did the devil world change by that much? During my team, we were all unruly. We did whatever we wanted with the world. I remember owning at least one-third of the world by myself.” Malcolm began boasting about his achievements.

“Hiaz, forget it. You must have at least taken in a lot of subordinates, haven’t you?” It would be a great help to him if he could find them.

“I definitely had. Even Devil Sovereigns weren’t rare. But it has been a long time since then. Who knows if they were wiped out by some other forces after my demise? And even if we found them, do you think they would join us?” Malcolm spoke in a sad tone, reminiscing his past.

“Is that so?” Davion was disappointed.

“If they are still alive, then I believe those bastards must have become way stronger during this period of time. So, I don’t think we could make them listen to us.” Malcolm added, extinguishing his hopes.

Nonetheless, his next words gave Davion a wonderful surprise.

“But as a previous Saint, I do have some ways to find and control them.”

“What is it?” Davion’s soul narrowed his eyes at him, generating overwhelming pressure and frightening him greatly.

“I have a part of their souls conserved in the soul preserving orbs.” Malcolm hurriedly spoke.

“But don’t tell me that they are in your void space as well?” He asked coldly.

“….” Malcolm became speechless.

“You are totally useless.” Davion didn’t know what to expect from him anymore.

Malcolm’s void space could only be opened when he reaches the Venerable Stage. At that time, he would be extremely powerful, capable of doing anything he wanted. Thus, what was the use of having subordinates at that time?

“Master, you don’t need to get so worked up. Why don’t you try looking for my descendants? They must have given birth to my heirs.” Malcolm finally remembered that he had a harem of beautiful devils that could turn the world upside down with their charms.

However, Davion gave him a tight slap sending him flying straight towards his devil seed.

“Trash! How can you not be sure whether you had children or not?” He scoffed and returned to his physical self.

“Each one of these devils is disgusting and has no characters. A weak-minded person would certainly get insane if they stayed in this world for long.” He thought and then sighed.

“Maybe this is normal in the Devil World.”

The other devils stood there quietly while pondering what their Lord was thinking for such a long time and suddenly sighed in the end. But they didn’t have the guts to question him.

“Do you know anything about Devil Emperor Conard?” Davion abruptly asked.

“Conard? Isn’t he the strongest Devil Emperor in the outer world?” Bjorn exclaimed.

“Yeah. Isn’t he missing for a couple of years now?”

“I heard that he has gone to the holy lands to cultivate, aiming to break through the Devil Sovereign Realm.”

Since they hadn’t seen him personally, they simply told what they had heard and learned about him.

“Humm, then what about his subordinates? Are they still here?” His eyes glinted coldly, causing them to develop scary thoughts in their mind.

“I think so.” Averi was the first to react.

“Good. Do you have a map?” He was full of smiles now. His plan of conquering the Devil World and harvesting resources could be started from tomorrow. On top of that, he could start his revenge against Conard.

“Yes.” She passed him a map and said, “Except for the Holy Land, most of the cities, their rulers, and forbidden places are mentioned here.”

Davion nodded and thoroughly stored the information in his mind.

“Colossal Devil City”

“What an arrogant name!” Davion spoke in disdain when he saw the name of the nearest city from their current location.

“Devil Emperor Joziah after defeating the previous emperor renamed this city according to his liking,” Averi replied.

“Haha! Once we overthrow him, we can rename it again.” Bjorn declared excitedly.

Davion didn’t reply but focused on the northern part of the map where Vanishing Willow Valley was located. The big words Devil Emperor Conard was written in red color, indicating that it was one of the most dangerous places in the Devil World.

“It’s in the opposite direction and quite far away from here. It might take about a week if I want to reach there on top of Joanna. It looks like I have to leave that aside for now.” He muttered, looking in that direction with a serious expression.

Taking in a deep breath, he slowly decreased in size while unleashing his brown devilish aura to disrupt their vision. The others backed away warily, not knowing what he was doing.

Nevertheless, they understood when they saw a young muscular man having brownish red hair, pupils, and wearing a magnificent black robe decorated with golden patterns emerging a couple of seconds later.

Plus, his devil essence was flickering out from his eyes like flames, adding a layer of mysteriousness to his handsome face.

“It looked like Lord felt shy to reveal his naked body.” Averi put her index finger inside her lip and chuckled sweetly, showcasing her seductive side.

Witnessing this, the devil kings started to have wild thoughts. Only Bjorn had an ugly expression on his face.

“Is this bitch attempting to bed the Lord?” He was furious. In this way, won’t she earn more benefits and have a higher position in the Lord’s eyes?

Contrary to them, Davion merely rolled his eyes at her for a second before solemnly commanding them.

“I have a task for you all.”

This immediately brought everyone back to their senses. Davion could even see the disappointed expression flashing in Averi’s eyes. But would he care?

Just the thought of sleeping with a devil made him nearly throw up, despite being clean till now. It sounded ridiculous, and he wasn’t so deprived to give away himself to a devil.

“My Lord, what are your orders?” They fell on their knees and lowered their heads submissively, waiting for further instructions.

“First, uproot the devil vein from your strongholds and bring them to me.” He eyed them coldly as he noticed their faces becoming a little flustered.

“As for the devil stones, you all can take them away.” He declared after understanding their circumstances a little.

“My Lord, as your humble slaves, everything we own is yours as well. So, you can also take away devil stones without any consideration.” Bjorn’s voice sounded like thunder in the other devil king’s ears, making them break out in cold sweat.

Therefore, they imitated what he did.

Anyways, Davion didn’t accept it and said, “I’ve no use for them. Keep them for your personal use.”

“The next task is to gather all your forces here by tomorrow morning. We will then head to the Colossal Devil City together.”

“Now you all may leave. Except for Bjorn.” He waved his hand in annoyance.

“Yes, My Lord..” They vanished from their spot in the blink of an eye as they rushed towards their strongholds as fast as they could.
