Arad's unruly savior

Chapter 4018 Hordes of Demons

Demon world.

Herder's cold and beautiful face was covered by a half-gold tear-filled mask, her expressionless face and her eyes were both incredibly deep, as if they were connected to a bottomless abyss.

She was viewing the original site of Terra through Ye Lin's perspective, and a faint, mysterious light flashed and disappeared deep in her right eye.

That's right, the original form of the Demon Realm was not an octahedron, but a city spread out on a flat surface, including the main city of Terra and a large area nearby.

She used her magical powers to lift it into the sky, and then, taking advantage of the shockwave from the battle between the artificial god and Caloso, she escaped the center of the explosion and traveled away.

Of course, it would be too difficult for her alone to lead the vast demon realm out of the most intense vortex of destruction. The order of spacetime was in chaos and collapse, and even gods would probably be unable to save themselves if they were trapped in it.

The reason why the Demon Realm and the Demon Moon Dela Leon were able to escape successfully was actually due to the help of the artificial god and Carloso.

Hilder was lost in memories. In the terrifying moment when the world collapsed after the strongest attack of both sides, Terra City and the surrounding area split into a single huge fragment. She used all her magic to envelop it, protecting the people of Terra while rushing towards the distant stars, trying to escape the disaster.

However, it's too difficult for one person to do it alone, because what she wanted to take away was not just an entire city, but also a huge number of Terrans, and she wanted all Terrans to live.

However, the power of the God War was terrifying, exceeding conventional limitations. It instantly shattered the cosmic order, causing stars to crumble and shatter. Even a ripple that spread outward could obliterate a world. The flesh and blood of the Terrans simply could not withstand that instantaneous upheaval.

For example, later, Ye Lin discovered clues about the Water of Life from the Time Beast Atropika. On his way to find the Water of Life, he landed on the planet Aguranda, where he discovered a fragment of Terra, no smaller than the Demon Realm, in a crashed state. Several magnificent cities once stood on the fragment, but unfortunately, no life survived, leaving only ruins, demonstrating the annihilation power of that instant.

In Hilder's memory, when all her efforts to protect him were in vain and she was on the verge of despair, the twelve artificial gods and the Great Will looked deeply into the direction of Terra City with a profound meaning. Then, the city and the Demon Moon Delarion successfully escaped the vortex of the divine war, and the Terrans on it survived.

The later appearance of the prophetic stone tablet further corroborated Hilder's conjecture: the survival of the Demon Realm and the Terrans was not only the result of her all-out protection, but also involved more mysterious events, with the trajectories of fate converging there.

It's like... the twelve artificial gods and Caloso both regarded the Demon Realm as their backup plan and deliberately left it behind.

As for the Demon Realm's unique octahedral structure, a crucial reason is that after Terra City and the surrounding area entered space, although their area was vast enough to be considered a complete small world, they lost their core due to separation from Terra and their entry into space. Combined with the gravitational pull of the Demon Moon, Delarion, the flat, empty Demon Realm caused a severe gravitational imbalance.

Herder was deeply concerned about this and had to fold the surviving area to form the current octahedral structure, imitating a complete star, reconstructing the gravitational force between it and the Demon Moon, as well as the bipolar magnetic force.

If this is not done, there is a high probability that the Demon Realm will be captured by Delarion's powerful gravity and crash onto the surface of the star.

It can be said that she truly devoted herself to the last remaining Terra.

Meanwhile, in the process of folding the world, she also hid some secrets, such as the Gutella AI that was accidentally discovered by Ye Lin and Monica.

Sirocco, with his keen senses, noticed something in that instant. He turned to look at the wicked woman, Hilder, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked:
"What was that aura you just exuded? It didn't seem to belong to either the elemental magic system or the dark magic system. Woman, are you hiding something again?"

Hilder is widely recognized by all the demons in the world for being the first to apply the power of the four elements, leaving ancient magic behind and instead using the more destructive four elements. She also developed a sixth element and inspired systems such as wind element and nature magic.

In the lineage of magic in the demon realm, Hilder is undoubtedly the founder.

Of course, other people do use ancient magic; shadow magic is also a type of ancient magic.

She-Ra, the "Princess and the Pea" of the Eternal Continent, is also an expert in ancient magic.

Then Hilderwi possesses a portion of the Primordial Darkness, which is the source of her power. As for the technological power she has mastered, Sirocco has not yet seen any technological equipment that matches it.

However, the three coaches from the Mirror Dimension restarted the artificial god project.

However, Sirocco was certain that the aura and light that Hilder had unintentionally revealed just now definitely did not belong to these three systems; it was an unknown power.

Hilder did not answer Sirocco's question. A flash of light appeared within her body, and a person emerged who looked exactly like her, with identical clothes and attire. The difference was that this Hilder did not wear the golden tear-eyed mask, and her demeanor also possessed an extra touch of gentle maternal warmth.

She is the second coach, the stand-in that Herder created for herself. She has no soul or consciousness, only a perfectly realistic body.

The second coach, carrying a wisp of consciousness, walked towards the spatial gate, leaving the Demon Realm and heading to the Arad Continent to take care of Akko, who was studying there.

Sirocco was itching to fight back; if it weren't for the formidable enemy at hand, she would definitely have given Hilder a go.

……

Spirit world.

Sitting on the ergonomic chair with her knees bent, Fei Wu scratched her slightly dry hair, took a sip of the still-warm milk tea next to her, then let out a sleepy deep yawn, preparing to go back to bed for a nap.

I've been sitting here playing on the computer for most of the day, and I'm feeling a bit tired.

Azera sighed deeply, a complex emotion flickering across her gentle, beautiful face, and whispered:
"I really do want to go to Terra again."

Mist and haze, the house of clockwork.

Chimera returned to her dorm shortly after class and was about to ask her neighbor, Arsa, out for a meal. There was a newly opened barbecue restaurant that was having a sale, so she decided to go and try it out for a meal.

Suddenly, the Rubik's Cube materialized, illuminating the entire room with golden light. In an instant, the fixed shapes of all matter became unstable, stretching and deforming like dough, gaining resilience, and then returning to their original state. Chimera saw that she had a pair of "long" legs in the mirror, as if she were walking on stilts, and it took more than ten seconds for her to stabilize.

"Yanemer, you're out! Let's go get some barbecue together," the Chimera asked, a woman with long, pale purple hair materializing in the golden light. Her face was beautiful yet aloof, as if covered by a layer of frost.

Yannemer from the Rubik's Cube is very aloof; she might not utter a single word for ten days or half a month.

Only when she gets annoyed by his nagging will she let out a word or two.

"I got my scholarship today, so I'm treating everyone to a newly opened barbecue restaurant. They're having a discount, and I heard they have beef from the Arad continent..." Before Yanemer could even speak, Chimera's words came flying out like a machine gun.

Chatterboxing is her nature, and even after being physically silenced for a considerable period, it hasn't changed. Chimera always has something to say, and even Arsa, a somewhat shy and easily flustered child, has become much more cheerful thanks to Chimera. Yanemer said coldly, "I'm leaving."

"Huh? Where are you going? What's wrong? Do you want me to come with you?" Chimera paused for a moment, then quickly asked.

"I'm going to another world. My new body should be ready by now. You don't need to come with me. You can't help me anyway. I'll leave you a seed and some secret techniques in the Rubik's Cube." Yanemer's soul left the Rubik's Cube and spoke a few more words than usual. As she left, the Rubik's Cube also lost its golden light.

Yannemer touched the Rubik's Cube with her finger, restoring its golden luster as if it were cast from gold. She left the corresponding seed for the Chimera, so that even if she was not there, the Chimera could use and learn the ability to reconstruct matter.

Then, Yannemer disappeared from the room, leaving Chimera alone.

"Will you come back, Yannemer?"

Arisa from the next dorm came over, pushed open the door, and asked:

"Chimera, are you ready? It's so cold outside."

Then Arsa saw that Chimera, who had always been somewhat carefree, had an unprecedentedly sad expression on her face.

"You... what's wrong? Are you alright?" Arsa asked worriedly. Just ten minutes ago, the Chimera was all smiles, but suddenly it looked dejected.

Chimera's lips twitched a few times, and she said dejectedly, "My daddy ran away~"

…………

The original site of the Demon Realm.

The destroyed stars have returned to their places, the terrible cracks have all been healed, and the dusty shadows of history are gradually dissipating. Every mountain and river has been transformed from illusion into reality. This is a terrifying force, a miraculous feat.

However, the anticipated next change did not occur. After the shadow of history dissipated, all changes came to an abrupt halt, and an unprecedented silence descended upon the original star field.

Ye Lin possessed extraordinary eyesight, staring directly at the core planet Terra. The missing Demon Realm resembled a wound stripped of flesh, extremely glaring. If the eight Demon Realms were laid out and some artificial traces on the edges were modified, it would fit perfectly inside.

Then the core area is Brooklyn, and a little further out are the Metropolitan Area and Central Park... He quickly sketched out the past in his mind.

"It has stopped." Mo Mei was somewhat surprised. She quickly extended her divine sense, resonating with the thoughts and energy of all things, and found that the changes had indeed come to an end.

Hiaite directly used the power of destiny to search for the trajectory, and said, "It's definitely more than that, it just hasn't entered the second stage yet."

From the perspective of the power of destiny, the original Terra was an empty void, without a single point of light or a dotted line. This meant that the Terra before us was a completely dead planet, with only the magnificent ruins of a civilization, but it was purely inanimate.

She then looked at the other restored stars near Terra and saw the same thing: no trace of life, just an empty shell. Even the concept of death itself seemed to be nonexistent, an emptiness that made her feel uneasy.

Finally, Hiat had a flash of inspiration and shifted the perspective of the power of destiny to a cemetery in a bustling city on Terra. The buried people had no future, and the dead were no longer subject to the turmoil of fate, but would the remains of the deceased remain there?

“Empty…” Xia Te said softly. The cemetery existed, but the coffins in the cemetery were empty, with nothing inside, just like when they were buried, they simply buried an empty box.

A dead star has been restored, and Hiat suddenly felt a chill run down her spine for no reason.

Ye Lin seemed to just come to his senses and subconsciously asked, "What is empty? The chest of a demon?"

"The cemetery!" Hia gave him a speechless look, puzzled as to how he could connect it to the demons.

Ye Lin pointed to the restored planet Terra with a leisurely and longing expression, and said, "Think about it, this planet used to be inhabited by demons, in large numbers, numbering in the hundreds of millions."

"Thinking about it, that's really annoying. I even think that Terra was destroyed by a bunch of demons," Hiat complained.

There are quite a few demons in the family, but only a few are proper and well-behaved. Xiao Su is aloof and arrogant, You Xia looks down on everything with equal disdain, Bi Bi used to sneak away and travel to Arad and the Celestial Realm, and there's also Erica from Captain Azera's side, who even dared to challenge the Black-Eyed Demon Emperor. Luckily, she escaped with Bordeaux's feather and only behaved herself after that.

These are relatively minor issues for them. The others each have their own unique abilities: Beyana, Wanzi, Imiwu, Iqi, and so on... Almost none of them are easy to deal with. They're all troublesome and capable of causing problems.

After all the considerations, it seems that only Pai, who likes to make desserts, fits the description of being well-behaved.

"I'm going to Terra to take a look," Ye Lin told them, then prepared to personally visit the cities of Terra.

A voice came from behind: "I'm going too."

“Azera!” Hiat and Momei were quite surprised. The person who came was the captain, Azera Loy.

What surprised them was not that the leader had come, but that she had come alone, having traversed the vast void by herself.

After the Terra star system was restored and the stars were restored, the turbulent forces also disappeared and came to an abrupt end. It was no longer as dangerous as before, when even Transcendent beings could fall into it. Now it is relatively safe.

However, the leader is far from possessing the power to traverse the void. She can be considered a strong person on the Arad continent, but to travel such a long distance to Terra all by herself is clearly beyond her capabilities.

Mo Mei looked him over and then understood: "The Transcendent One."

The leader, Azera, was also at the Transcendent level, thus possessing the power of distant planetary skies. The source of her power was naturally the divine path of Night Forest.

"Five hundred times." Mo Mei muttered quietly. The commander heard this and a blush immediately crept onto his beautiful face.

To walk the divine path through the Night Forest, one needs to infuse five hundred times of experience into the body... Of course, this is a standard threshold he set himself.
