Chapter 990: Chapter 683: Cycle Chapter 990: Chapter 683: Cycle According to the Hero, before this, he had encountered countless assassinations and attacks, but he had resurrected each ti, and at that ti, the Hero, wielding the Holy Sword, was awesoly powerful; one could say he was unstoppable, no human or Buddha could block his path.
But after his descendant killed him once with the Holy Sword, when the Hero resurrected again, he suddenly realized that his strength had begun to drain away!
It was as if an hourglass had been punctured, and the sand inside was trickling out bit by bit. This filled the Hero with terror, he tried to find a way to stop this trend, but it was useless… So gradually, he went from being that robust man who could be vigorously involved with ten won in one night to the black-robed eunuch who becos short of breath just walking.
Duanmu Huai was nearly laughing to death upon hearing this.
The Hero himself didn’t understand why this was happening, but he knew all too well.
The Demon King doesn’t die because he is a Subspace Creature, able to be reborn in Subspace. But the Hero is human, the only way for him to obtain a feature similar to the Demon King was to turn himself into a Subspace Creature. Hence, after signing a contract with the so-called Demon King, the Hero, in fact, beca half a Subspace Creature.
Of course, normally this was fine, but when it ca to powers like those of the Holy Sword that restrained Subspace Creatures, once the balance was disrupted, there was only one outco — essentially, what’s called restraining Subspace Creatures is ultimately banishing them. That’s to say, the Hero was gradually transforming into a complete Subspace Creature, which was also why his strength was draining. It was because the Holy Sword had banished most of his power; only this physical body remained as the last anchor maintaining his existence in this world. If the Hero were killed once more, he probably would transform into a pure Subspace Creature.
People say the Devil is cunning, but the asymtry of information is one of the reasons the Devil is cunning; in truth, they themselves don’t have much understanding of Hell and Subspace. This is also why the Judge has been studying Subspace, you need to understand your enemy to defeat them.
If so Demon King dared to speak to Duanmu Huai about granting him immortality, Duanmu Huai would look at him as though he were an idiot — are you fucking thinking I’m stupid?
Similarly, if soone was foolish enough to approach Duanmu Huai, asking him to send them into the Universe, Duanmu Huai wouldn’t care; he’d just stuff them into a life pod and launch them into the cosmos.
Hmm? What if there’s no oxygen?
What does that have to do with , you never specified you needed a living person to be sent up, did you?
So very often, information asymtry is the greatest fraud; in reality, many agreents between companies include similar aspects — it’s your own fault for not asking for details; I’m not obligated to educate you like a teacher from the very beginning, so if you get tricked, it’s purely your own damn fault, what’s that got to do with ?
Many that were conned by the Devil were tricked in this way; when the Devil knocks on your door, it’s similar to a pushy insurance salesman, so promising that you’re tempted, but when you invest in the policy and want to use it, you realize it’s as difficult as solving an unsolvable case. Ancient people lacked experience in this respect; for modern humans… well, only a portion of them have resistance.
The reason it’s not everyone is because there’s still a significant number of people who fall for telephone scams every year.
This proves that no matter the era, the Devil never has a shortage of fools to deceive.
“So what are you trying to do here?”
Duanmu Huai, seeing that Olaya was almost unable to speak, took it upon himself to inquire.
“Of course, to reclaim what was originally mine.”
The Hero said this with a sense of justified entitlent.
“This country was originally saved by , so I want to take it back, it is my right. But to tell you the truth…”
While speaking, the Hero looked at Olaya with eyes full of loathing.
“I truly didn’t expect that my progeny were still alive, and furthermore, living quite well. I thought they had long since died out.”
Being in a hurry to see one’s own lineage die out, that must be quite a rare sight.
“Your Highness, the Princess.”
After the story was finished and ti had been sufficiently passed, Duanmu Huai finally stretched out his hand to pat Olaya on the shoulder, jolting her back to reality.
“Wha, what?”
“How should we deal with this guy?”
Duanmu Huai pointed to the Hero in front of them, and at that mont, Olaya also understood what Duanmu Huai was asking, and for a mont… she didn’t know what to say.
But Duanmu Huai wasn’t worried about this little trouble.
“Then let’s just kill him; keeping him around is just asking for trouble.”
Duanmu Huai said this while nonchalantly taking out the Holy Sword. Seeing the formidable object in Duanmu Huai’s hands, the Hero’s complexion changed.
“Wait, what are you trying to do? What’s that in your hand?”
“The Holy Sword, haven’t you seen it before?”
“You must be joking, how could the Holy Sword look like that, wait, you can’t kill …”
“Why? Because the Demon King is no longer in this world, right, so if not you, who should I kill?”
“How do you know…?”
Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, the Hero was instantly startled, staring at Duanmu Huai in horror, at a loss for words.
“Heh.”
Duanmu Huai didn’t respond, just chuckled, and at this mont, the Hero seed to have an epiphany.
“You, you peeked at my m…!”
