Chapter 845: Chapter 770: Another Demon King Mansion
“Boom!”
Amidst the loud sound of water, a group of seven descended from the sky, diving straight into the giant lake atop the mountain, creating huge splashes.
Shane plunged into the water, instinctively holding his breath, but then realized that he could actually breathe underwater.
Not only that, but his clothes remained completely dry, as if he had entered not a lake, but a cloud-like pool shaped like a lake, without feeling any water pressure.
This sparked Shane’s curiosity.
“Let’s keep going down.”
Urged Lide, who was held in Shane’s arms.
Her voice spread unobstructed underwater, only a series of bubbles appeared when she spoke, as if water was entering her mouth.
Shane opened his mouth slightly, bubbles appeared similarly, yet no water flowed into his mouth.
“Truly neither magic, nor science.”
Leaving this remark, Shane carried Lide, heading towards the bottom of the lake.
The other Demons immediately followed, continuing to dive down.
As the group kept diving, the visibility remained mysteriously clear despite not relying on either magic or science.
However, Shane was already accustomed to this, diving down without expressing further thoughts.
After diving for an indeterminable amount of time, Shane finally reached the lake’s bottom.
There, an unexpected mansion stood quietly like an underwater villa.
“Is that…?”
Upon seeing the mansion, Shane couldn’t help but halt his descent.
The reason being, nothing else but the familiarity of the mansion to Shane.
Though Shane had only seen it once, he still had a vivid impression of that mansion, vibrant with bird songs and fragrant flowers, like a utopian sanctuary.
That mansion had another name.
———— “Huaming Pavilion.”
Or perhaps ———— “Demon King Mansion.”
It was the mansion that Laischa had once invited Vivian’s Team to in Lamijion, inviting Shane into what was said to be the Demon King’s private villa.
Beside him, Sera spoke.
“That is the Demon King Mansion, the treasure left by Demon King Cladis to the Demon Clan.” Sera conveyed this while noticing Shane’s startled expression, asking: “What’s wrong? Any issue?”
“No, nothing.” Shane instinctively shook his head, but couldn’t help but ask: “Isn’t the Demon King Mansion with Laischa?”
“Laischa?” Sera momentarily paused, then quickly understood whom Shane was referring to.
The other Demons also raised their eyebrows, yet none spoke.
The existence of Laischa, even Lasha, was something these Demons naturally knew well.
One was created using the Demon King’s Magic Power as the core medium, thus made into a form of Magic Life.
The other was created using the Demon King’s flesh as the core medium, thus made into another form of Magic Life.
That pair of twin master and servant, were entities with countless threads connection to the Demon King, the world’s only two Demon King’s Body, copies of the remaining Demon King.
It’s impossible for the Demons not to know of that master and servant’s existence.
However, the Demons evidently didn’t want to bring up this topic.
Including Sera, she merely replied.
“You’re talking about that Space Mage who defected from [Slaughterer Faction], stole the mother’s body from Mitra Kingdom’s Royal Palace, and casually took away mother’s mansion, aren’t you?” Sera evasively said: “Though she holds another Demon King Mansion, it’s nothing special, perhaps the only unique factor is that the mother frequently resided in it?”
Unlike the current Demon King Mansion here.
“This is not the mother’s private mansion, but a sanctuary that was personally forged by the mother for the Demon Clan, possessing the ability to draw out other’s Magic Power, transforming it into pure Power, and transferring it to others.”
Sera’s explanation left Shane bewildered once more.
“Transfer Power?”
Shane looked at Sera in astonishment.
But at this moment, the other Demons spoke.
“Don’t be surprised, it indeed transfers Power.” Camina said: “The Supreme God left an Inner Sanctum for the Human Race to directly connect with [Reason], thereby enhancing comprehension and strength, whereas our Demon King cannot achieve such miraculous feats.”
“Indeed.” Lide also voiced, saying: “While, in terms of sheer Power, the Demon King certainly surpasses the Supreme God, yet the Supreme God is the true omnipotent Goddess, even the world is created by that being. The Demon King can destroy worlds, but creating them is beyond reach.”
“This has always been the distinction between our Demon Clan and the Divine Race.” Camina acknowledged, expressing: “The Demon Clan is renowned for formidable strength, and in terms of pure Power, they are undoubtedly superior to the Divine Race, but the Divine Race’s extraordinary abilities in various domains, the miraculous effects achievable by their Authority, are out of reach for our Demon Clan.”
This is also why the Demons are so powerful, yet still unable to resolve the issue faced by the Ice Woman Clan, unable to break the ice-bound state of the [Ice Luo Qianliu], whereas several Goddesses of the Divine Race can accomplish this.
The Demon Clan undoubtedly surpasses the Divine Race in strength, but the Divine Race possesses its own merits, able to wield extraordinary powers across diverse fields, with each Goddess governing different domains and concepts, achieving things beyond the capabilities of both Demons and Humans.
Thus, as the omnipotent true Goddess, the Supreme God created the Inner Sanctum allowing the Human Race to effortlessly access [Reason] without side effects, gaining extraordinary insight, enhancing combat effectiveness.
