Chapter 1785 No.402: Some demon kings have quietly appeared

What is counterintuitive is that although the vacancy of the Crown of Lust has caused the recent news in the Dark Zone to revolve around 'who will be the new king', in the general impression of the Dark Zone, the change of the position of the Demon King does not require such trouble.

In the few records of power changes in this land, the normal selection of "the throne is vacant and someone is urgently needed to take over" is a "special situation" that only occurs twice.

The other five changes of power were all achieved by killing the king or usurping the throne.

Yes.

As long as the Digimon with pure positive and negative coefficients are "born and raised" in the dark area, they will not trigger the mechanism of "the Crown of Sin will be transferred instantly when the Demon King dies" at the end of the attack on the King. It can also break the rule that "Digimon that die in the dark area will not leave digital eggs, and even the data will quickly collapse and feed back to the environment"!

This is because "killing and devouring" is the real underlying logic of the dark area. In front of this logic, the concept of "Crown of Sins" is an inappropriate latecomer.

——It is the result of the development of the Internet, as more and more concepts such as "sin" and "seven deadly sins" are recorded and accumulated in data.

Although the "Crown of Sin" can be regarded as core concept-level information, which greatly promoted the formation of the Dark Zone as the digital world's "hell" and "depths of darkness", it still cannot shake the Digimon's original law of survival and cannibalism.

Therefore, compared with the "qualification review" of the Gate of Sins, more new kings choose to take the route of assassinating the king and killing the driver, and the winner takes all. This approach can also easily establish authority, unlike the normal selection process where the strength will be questioned and there will be countless "fleas" jumping in front of them.

Although such offenders would most likely be killed by the new king to establish his authority.

But it still does not prevent this kind of people from popping up every time a new king ascends the throne. It can only be said that the Demon King rarely changes, but the people in the dark area are cut off like leeks one after another - there have been several rounds of changes, who still remembers how the Digimon died back then?

There is no such thing as Secretary Shi!
So next time a new king ascends the throne, everyone will still dare to curse and point fingers.jpg
But no matter whether those unknown guys will pop up again to make a sacrifice, the dark area does exist in history books.

Although this place gives people the impression of a "wild land" most of the time, and several demon kings are either actively or passively living in a corner, giving people the impression that there is no civilization development, no technological development, and no decent civilian workers, but don't forget that there is still an area in this land that has never been involved in disputes.

Even when the seven demon kings are fighting together and causing huge chaos, that area can still stay out of it.

Dark Castle

The simple name actually has a great origin. Once you understand that the name is almost the same as the period when the dark area was born, you will inevitably wonder whether there is a connection between the two concepts, and who is covering whom.

However, pondering such matters obviously only exists in the realm of academic curiosity and has no other meaning. The truly down-to-earth perspective should be to look at the owner of the castle.

Grand Dracumon

In the digital realm, where there are no loopholes, it is naturally considered the king of vampire Digimon. There are legends that its body is immortal, and it has a record of causing a large number of angel-type Digimon to fall. There are also rumors that it is inextricably linked to the process of the birth of the Dark Zone in the Digital World, but no one has been able to explore it.

If you ask why, it is naturally because it is too difficult to reach its castle - as an independent and powerful existence that is not connected to the Seven Demon Lords, its base is also extremely remote. To reach it, one must first cross the Dark Sea where Leviamon is active.

This is already an extremely difficult choice in itself. After all, there are not only giant beasts lurking deep in the ocean, but also other extremely aggressive dark camp Digimon.

The big-eat-small ecosystem in the ocean is more barbaric and primitive than that on land. If you can really survive the dual tests of spirit and body and reach the gate, you will be able to feel the characteristics of civilized society and meet the lord who speaks and behaves politely.

Also, don't forget the 'funny story' that it spread widely in the Dark Area: it caused many Angel Digimon who came to conquer it to fall from heaven with just its words.

The voice of Megadrakumon has a "confusing" effect, and one of its special moves, Eye of the Gorgon, can be activated without any warning. -- Just by gazing into the opponent's mind, it can turn them into a prisoner of darkness.

This ability to take action at the slightest disagreement, and to do it silently, is enough to become a wall of sighs for anyone who attempts to negotiate.

This is enough to explain why, over the years, the information of the Seven Demon Lords is no longer a secret, and maps of their territorial structures have even been leaked, but the Dark Castle is still shrouded in mystery.

It is clear that Dadrakumon is not as easy to communicate with as its words and deeds show, and its castle, which has never been rumored to have any actions, also makes its external image tend to be similar to Belphemon, that is, quiet and aloof.

It did make people wonder whether it also had a "sleeping" mechanism.

After all, when thinking about the etymology of Great Draculamon, we can't avoid concepts such as "vampire" and "Dracula", which are also easily related to "sleep", but these are ultimately just guesses.

Because the visitors who visit today would not ask these questions.

"What a rare visitor, Baalmon.X."

The dark blue flames ignited in the torches one after another, as if invisible ghost beasts were lighting the fire. One by one, the blood-sucking monsters stood in line, bowing and saluting at every step of the speech, as if they were serving as male servants.

It is certainly a waste of talent to let those blood-sucking beasts like the blood demon nobles serve as male servants. Their overly exaggerated attire does not make them look like servants at all.

However, it is common knowledge in this world that it is difficult for Digimon to easily change into costumes that do not exist in their data, so there is no way. As long as the status of the owner here is noble enough, no Digimon will resist even if it looks so incongruous.

Just as the four-legged lower body of the demonic beast gradually stepped forward, breaking through the barriers of the pillars and revealing the ferocious and tall posture of a city lord, even the Bal Beast X, which was more than two meters and five meters tall, looked insignificant.

He had no choice but to look up to that being, but his words were as calm and cold as always:
"A rare guest? I thought you were waiting for me."

"I can't say no, but you still arrived much earlier than I expected."

The scarlet palms clapped against each other, and the magnetic and mellow male voice was as reassuring and comfortable as a thick rock. Although his lower body was like a monster, his upper body was like that of a human male aristocrat in terms of body shape and clothing, which made him look a bit weird and intellectual.

And there is one point that will make anyone who sees it for the first time pay attention - the Great Draculmon has a purple mask that covers its eyes.

This would undoubtedly make its evil eye, which could activate skills at any time, appear more concealed, and would make visitors dare not relax at all.

But Baalmon.X didn't seem that nervous.

Even the words were as cold and lazy as before.

"Expectations are always wrong. I only ask if your promise from that year is still valid."

"Oh?" said Great Drakumon in surprise, "You mean you are ready?"

There was no response, but the arm, which was as slender as the opponent's upper limbs, had already raised the orange-yellow line of the Great Sin.

"The guy who succeeded to the throne has been dealt with."
