Chapter 958: A War of Annihilation of Demons Beyond Common Sense (Part 3)

Sui Xiong was moving at a very high speed, and the speed at which he fought against the demons was also very fast .

This was determined by the way he fought . He did not want to fight a slow battle against the demons at all . He simply gathered all his strength and burst out all his might in one breath . With his strong tentacles, he wrapped the demons firmly in his grasp and dragged them to him . Then he spread out his body and devoured them all .

This was a very crude method and caused him many injuries that he could have avoided in the first place . But it proved to be very effective .

The demons were powerful, but this was never because of their strength . Speaking purely in terms of brute force, there were not many among the demons who were truly herculean . And there was only one who could fight Sui Xiong, who was only such a big and unreasonable monster by virtue of its brute force .

This was one of the veteran demons, and its name was “Herculean Hagrid . ”

This demon was quite a tragic character . He was originally a valiant general from a certain world who led an army on an expedition to another world to colonize more land for its own race . When he just won a crucial war and was about to take the opportunity of his victory to expand the exploits of the war, he heard the news that there was a rise in rebellion back at home . So he brought a few elite warriors along with him and rushed back as quickly as he could . But he was still a step too late . The former king that valued him was already killed by the prince who staged the rebellion . Herculean Hagrid was detained with charges of rebellion because he had brought soldiers back to the capital without first obtaining permission . His entire family was killed while he himself was publicly executed via cruel means . He died in an extremely tragic way .

After death, this valiant general could not find reconciliation to the fate he suffered and eventually became a powerful demigod in the underworld . But at that time, he had also been polluted by the atmosphere filled with resentment that was omnipresent in the underworld and became an evil monster .

Later, a large number of his dead souls returned to their hometown and slaughtered the entire world . When he was about to attack and conquer the capital, he found out that the prince leading the soldiers to the very last moment of the battle was actually a descendent of his bloodline!

It turned out that, back then, during the manhunt for all members of its family, an officer who sympathized with its plight had switched his son with his son . This secret was kept hidden for decades . It was only after that officer reached an old age before he found an opportunity to tell this story—so the demon did not know the truth at all .

His son had waged a war against the king in the name of revenge for his father . This son had combined forces with many aristocrats who wished to gain more power, and eventually, they won this war and established a new dynasty .

In other words, the country that these avengers had returned to destroy was not one of its enemies, but a country that was established by his descendants .

That revenge, in truth, had long been completed .

Learning about everything was extremely despairing . Herculean Hagrid crazily cursed and swore about everything in the world as though it had gone mad, and eventually, it degenerated into a demon . He became one of the most powerful demons among all its own kind and it was crowned as the “herculean” one .

The intelligence of the 24 demons was not considered especially confidential . After all, the birth of every demon was a big deal in its own right . And after every demon was born, it would be followed by an outburst of war where gods would lay sieges on it and eventually drive it or throw it into the Abyss . This was why Sui Xiong could collect information that was quite detailed, including their appearances and abilities, as well as the backgrounds of the individual demons .

Honestly speaking, most of these demons had pretty sad stories behind them . For example, that demon that Sui Xiong had just chomped and crunched away in one mouthful, who resembled a figure with countless clusters of crystals, the one who was ceaselessly moaning and screaming away, was actually a princess of a country . She was an extremely powerful mage who had lived years in isolation to focus on exploring the higher realms of magic spells . There was one particular time where she accomplished some progress in her research and came out of seclusion for a break, she found out that her motherland had been blazed to destruction by war and all her family and friends were dead . The princess was anguished and set her mind to invent a spell that could undo and salvage all this .

She spent more than a thousand years studying about this, and finally, after becoming a Demigod Master, she invented a spell that could turn wishes into reality—the Ultimate Wish spell .

However, the result of using the Ultimate Wish spell could only change all the historical records in the world and obtain a surficial written record of a “change of history . ” That was all it could do .

The princess refused to give up . She used the Ultimate Wish spell over and over again but was simply unable to obtain the result she wanted . As a result, she ended up exhausting all her power and died of desperation . Subsequently, from the pile of skeletons, she was reborn as the demon that the gods named “Isabelle of Regrets . ”

Of course, Sui Xiong knew her story . But this did not make him merciful when he came to face this demon .

No matter how tragic their pasts were, after becoming demons, they were already existences that would bring disasters to the whole world . Sui Xiong was clear about the limits of what he was able to do . He had no means of saving them and free them of the shackles of such ill fates . But at least, he could relieve them from such endless pain and despair so that they could obtain eternal peace .

He did not find this justifiable . But in this world, was there really any justice to speak of?

The valiant general had felt great agony, but when he fought in countless battles, did not those people who died under his sword feel pain as well?

The princess had felt that she was in pain, but for the civilians who were poor and distressed, who died of hunger and cold, did they not work hard all year round to contribute wealth to their country and provide resources for her studies?

Not to mention that in the process of rampantly wreaking havoc and destruction, the worlds that these demons destroyed, as well as the living creatures they killed, did they all not suffer as well?

“So, don’t complain about how much pain you are in . You all are not innocent at all!” Sui Xiong coldly muttered to himself .

Waving his tentacles, he beat back the demon that possessed amazing power, whose entire body was like a rock that radiated a cold, greenish-gray light, but was now clearly nothing more than a skeleton .

“Herculean Hagrid complain no more . Let me put an end to your agony!”

The huge jellyfish flew towards the huge skeleton that was so powerful that it definitely made a worthy opponent . This time, Sui Xiong had equipped himself well with knowledge about the strengths and weaknesses of his opponent . When this demon that had such amazing brute force waved a huge club that was made of a world, Sui Xiong’s body suddenly split into two to allow that huge club to skim through from the middle . The upper and lower halves of his body were like a pair of covers that closed in on Hagrid .

Though a few minutes later, he was thrown off by Hagrid by means of its brute force, Sui Xiong was not the least daunted . Because he had already swallowed a number of this demon’s souls .

After a few rounds of such battling, the powerful demon was finally unable to gather enough strength to shake off Sui Xiong, who had been latching himself to it . Then like slime out on a hunt for prey, Sui Xiong finished off the final portion of the demon’s soul by swallowing it .

Its soul was much stronger than all the other demons’ souls . It was so strong that after Sui Xiong had completely finished it off, his body was filled with an explosive force .

And at this time, the other great Divine Powers had finally rushed their way over to the battlefield to take part in this war against the demons and Chaos, as well as to protect the world .

Though by this time, there were only a few left from the 24 demons, Sui Xiong did not feel that they had come too late .

Because he knew that these demons, though extremely strong and powerful, were practically lacking in rationality, and they behaved somewhat foolishly . The enemies that they were about to face, upon comparison, were the truly powerful and fearsome ones .

And he also knew that, even though the great Divine Powers had already arrived as soon as they could, the help they could render was, in truth, not any kind of great help .

The number of great Divine Powers was not small, but this was a figure that was once a greater Divine Power, a scary demon that could pollute and kill the God of Conspiracy with a mere touch . Those who could truly fight a battle with it would probably only be Sui Xiong and a few others .
