Chapter 385: 403 Endless Demon Sovereign_1
Claire hid nearby and secretly observed Otto and the Demon Flame Emperor. If she didn’t know for a fact that this was their very first meeting, she might have thought they were old friends who had not seen each other for many years.
From the current situation, the relationship between Otto and the Demon Flame Emperor seemed to be pretty good, and the latter didn’t show any signs of being protective of his food.
At least he didn’t mind sharing some of the charcoal-grilled Dark Erosion Crab with Otto.
However, even when being generous, there were boundaries. When Welin tried to join in, the Demon Flame Emperor directly refused him.
If not for Konoheim holding Welin back, who knows what he would have done to the Demon Flame Emperor.
Just as the Demon Flame Emperor seemed to have eaten and drunk his fill, Otto suddenly smiled and lightly asked, “My friend, although this is our first meeting, I feel like we get along very well, just like old friends who haven’t seen each other for many years.”
“What a coincidence, I think so too!”
The Demon Flame Emperor drained a barrel of strong alcohol in one go and nodded repeatedly with a dizzy head.
Hurriedly, Otto asked without changing his expression, “Before meeting you, I visited the Blood Thunder Lord who is still sealed under the Snow Mountain. Do you know him?”
“Blood Thunder, huh…”
The Demon Flame Emperor nodded and continued, “Old friends. Back then, Blood Thunder, Death Nightmare, and I were the strongest Demon Lords under the Endless Demon Sovereign. Together, we followed the great Endless Demon Sovereign to conquer and destroy countless planes.
However, an accident occurred when we attacked this plane. Blood Thunder was sealed under the Snow Mountain, my main body was lost in the plane channel, and the life or death of Death Nightmare is still unknown.
As for the Endless Demon Sovereign, he has long since disappeared. Those cunning and deceitful deities claim he is dead, but I know very well that he is still alive!”
The sentences spoken by the Demon Flame Emperor were somewhat disjointed, seemingly due to the influence of alcohol, which made him somewhat unclear-headed.
Otto squinted his eyes and studied the round gemstone on the Demon Flame Emperor’s forehead. Suddenly, he asked, “So, how exactly did you conclude that the Endless Demon Sovereign is still alive?”
Like a conditioned reflex, the Demon Flame Emperor touched the round gemstone on his forehead. Then, as if recalling something, he awkwardly laughed and said, “Nothing, just a simple belief…”
Although he said that, Otto wouldn’t easily believe him.
At this time, he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a similar round gemstone on the Blood Thunder Lord as well.
However, unlike the Demon Flame Emperor who boldly placed it on his forehead, the round gemstone on the Blood Thunder Lord was located in the center of his chest.
Surrounded by conspicuous blood-colored bones, a small round gemstone naturally didn’t attract much attention.
The reason Otto discovered this gemstone was because he had devoured a clone of the Blood Thunder Lord, whose appearance had become one of Otto’s available forms.
Thinking about this, Otto stared closely at the Demon Flame Emperor and continued asking, “Didn’t you notice that there is something quite similar in our bodies?”
“What are you talking about? I can’t quite hear you…”
The Demon Flame Emperor shook his head repeatedly. From his clear eyes at this moment, it was evident that he had sobered up completely, likely having neutralized the impact of the alcohol on his own.
And his reaction at this moment made Otto even more certain that he definitely knew something.
Unconsciously, the atmosphere between Otto and the Demon Flame Emperor became very tense again.
Shocking intensity spread from both of them to their surroundings. The dragons and demons surrounding them, except for Konoheim, felt varying degrees of discomfort.
At this time, Claire’s head was even more like paste. She couldn’t understand how the two seemingly friendly people suddenly became confrontational again.
Suddenly, the Demon Flame Emperor’s momentum loosened, and then he sighed toward Otto, “Blood Thunder told you something, didn’t he…?”
Otto silently nodded, but his eyes were still full of oppressive force as they stared at the Demon Flame Emperor, waiting to see what he would say next.
The Demon Flame Emperor shook his head, threw the last piece of crab meat into his mouth, and honestly said, “No matter what, I hope you can believe that we are not enemies.
Neither I, nor Blood Thunder, or even the mysterious life or death of Death Nightmare, are your enemies.”
Otto squinted his eyes and asked, “Not enemies, then are we friends?”
Before the Demon Flame Emperor could respond, Otto continued, “Let’s just keep it simple. Speak in simpler terms, just tell me directly, what is that round gemstone on your head, and what does it have to do with me…
Or rather, what connection does it have with the thing in my head? Don’t tell me, you haven’t noticed anything.”
Looking at Otto, who pointed at his own head, the Demon Flame Emperor sighed, spread his paws helplessly, and said, “Alright, you are much smarter than I thought.”
Then, to everyone’s surprise, the Demon Flame Emperor directly plucked the round gemstone from his forehead and said, with an astonished Otto looking on, “Unexpected, right? This is actually just a decoration…”
Indeed, Otto really hadn’t expected this. He had thought that this gemstone was a part of the Demon Flame Emperor’s body.
Afterward, the Demon Flame Emperor gave the round gemstone to Otto. Otto held it in one of his front paws and quickly felt that the gemstone was resonating with the light ball in his brain.
As he initially guessed, this thing was indeed connected to the Light Ball Boss.
However, from the current situation, this was all Otto could know.
So, he turned his attention back to the Demon Flame Emperor, hoping that the other party could give him a satisfactory answer.
“Don’t you understand?”
The Demon Flame Emperor shook his head, then pointed to the round gemstone in Otto’s hand and then at Otto, before saying, “It is precisely because of this round gemstone that I can determine that the Endless Demon Sovereign is still alive.
And you, are the Endless Demon Sovereign…
Or rather, the medium for the Endless Demon Sovereign’s resurrection!”
“What?”
These words from the Demon Flame Emperor were like a bolt from the blue for Otto.
How did he, who was a talented, handsome young man in his previous life, become the Endless Demon Sovereign who led the demon army to conquer and destroy countless planes?
Wait, did he say medium?
Otto quickly thought of something and then focused on the light ball inside his brain.
