Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 875 The Demonic Tree
Lucia heard Baroque's words and thought about Matilda's teachings.

Most magic tools are created by demons changing their forms.

If a demon is forced to surrender with overwhelming force, or a strong bond is formed with it, the demon will transform itself into a magic tool.

When Matilda mentioned magic tools to Lucia, Lucia said that.

"I don't need magic tools or anything like that. I'm not interested in the power of demons."

Lucia hated demons.

Even though she herself was a created demon, she still had this feeling.

Therefore, she did not want to use weapons with demonic powers.

But Mathilde told her.

"Listen to me, Lucia. Maybe one day in the future, a demon much stronger than you will appear in the world. What will you do then? No matter how many battles and trainings you have gone through, your own strength has its limits. But if you rely on the power of magic tools, you will be able to fight against those powerful demons."

However, Lucia didn't pay attention to what Matier said. She had never seen a magic tool before, and didn't think she would see one in the future.

I didn’t expect to see it now.

So, the sword in Nero's hand is also a magic tool, right?
Magic tools are such powerful things.

Lucia had mixed feelings.

"What should I do with this magic tool?"

Nero had no interest in the magic tool that Baroque had transformed into.

"Keep it for yourself."

Luther didn't care. The Demon Sword Cult had killed countless demons over the years, but not many were willing to transform into magic tools.

"Holy Demon Island, starting today, our Demon Sword Cult will also arrange personnel here."

Luther then said to Lucia.

"The Guardian Hand Clan is short of manpower, so we can complement each other and help each other."

Hearing Luther's words, Lucia didn't know what to say.

The Guardian Hand clan not only lacks manpower, but simply has no manpower at all.

Although many of them have demon blood, their strength...

Therefore, Luther's words were probably just a courtesy.

Lucia didn't know what to do.

Luther didn't have much opinion about Lucia. What he liked most about Devil May Cry were the characters and weapons in it.

So far, no female character has impressed him. After all, he is a very picky man.

Moreover, Lucia had been locked up by Dante many years ago, and he helped her find the meaning of her continued existence. He also told Rukia that "devils don't cry, these tears are proof that you are human", and then gently wiped the tears from her face.

This is how Lucia was moved by Dante. Although she is the guardian of the Holy Demon Island, she is afraid that if Dante says a word, she will join Lady Tracy in harassing Dante.

"Oh no, I suddenly want to see this scene."

Luther mused.

Now that the Demon Sword Cult has moved into the Holy Demon Island, there is actually no need for the Guardian Hand Clan to exist. Lucia can do whatever she wants.

However, Dante was obviously avoiding Lucia, and did not go to the Holy Demon Island again after returning to the human world from the Demon World.

It was Matilda who heard of his existence and sent someone to call him over.

Even if they came, Dante and Lucia seemed like the most familiar strangers.

When Dante was about to leave, Lucia even thought that it would be great if demons could continue to appear on the Holy Demon Island.

That way, Dante could keep coming here. Then when Luther and Nero returned to the headquarters of Fortuna, they learned that someone had come to Nero and wanted to join the Demon Sword Cult.

Credo didn't know the other person's origins, but he kept her because she said she was the daughter of Agnes.

"Nicole is here after all, but later than the original plot."

Luther thought about it and decided that it was time to release the Yama Blade. Of course, the Yama Blade he released must be a replica, and the original one was kept as a collection.

As for where the Yama Sword is placed, is there any need to ask?

Of course the nearest place!

……

The anchor in a blue shirt on TV read the report about "that incident" indifferently.

"Regarding the sudden appearance of the huge tree-like object, no relevant information has been found so far, and the local police have no idea what to do about it."

Local images were playing on the screen behind the host.

On the dark street, there was a strange "thing" standing tall.

As the host said, although it looks like a tree, it looks like it is part of a huge creature.

The same news continues to be broadcast.

The subtitles at the bottom of the screen read "Strange Phenomenon in Red Tomb City".

A mysterious tree suddenly appeared in the center of Red Tomb City.

The Demon Sword Cult naturally also got the news.

"It moves pretty fast."

Luther specially placed a replica of the Yama Sword in that very meaningful place.

Home of Dante and Virgil.

From the current perspective, Virgil has completed the separation of his humanity and devil.

This mysterious tree is a tree from the demon world, and inside it there is a cave leading to the demon world.

According to V, Qliphoth is a giant demon tree that grows in the demon world. When it gets enough nutrients, it will grow fruit. Any demon who eats it will gain divine power. Only one fruit will grow every few thousand years.

Trish mentioned that the last one to eat the fruit was Mondes, thus becoming the king of the demon world.

Once upon a time, the Seal of Sparta prevented Qliphoth from appearing in the human world.

Cut off from its source of nutrition, Qliphoth has not produced fruit for 2000 years.

As a tree of the demonic world, it is the opposite of trees that grow in the human world: Qliphoth's trunk is deep underground, its thorny roots are on the surface, and eventually grow into the sky.

When it fully manifests, it has the property of merging the human world and the demon world into one (or turning the human world into the demon world, in other words).

Qliphoth feeds on human blood to grow, and anyone whose blood is sucked out by it will become a lifeless husk.

Qlipthoth has a symbiotic relationship with demons called Empusa, ant-like monsters that are sent to slaughter humans and carry the blood back into the tree's root system.

This magic tree can be said to be a 2000-year-old cultural relic.

The evil tree extends into the real world through the cave opened by the Yama Sword in the demon world, gains vitality from the real world and grows, bearing pure evil fruit.

I can only say that this evil tree is quite outrageous. The blood of the people in a city in Red Tomb City can give birth to a demon king, Mondes.

That's the king of the demon world!
Not just any random person.

In the first and second generations, they needed to undergo ultimate transformation to deal with opponents at the Demon Emperor level, and it was not easy to win. Even two thousand years ago, Sparta was defeated overwhelmingly by the Demon Emperor.

The Demon Emperor Mendes was defeated and sealed after he erupted again amidst the cries and beliefs of mankind.
