A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

Chapter 1. The New Vest

Rias sighed. She had always been the little princess of the family. In the Gremory family, which was small in number, every member received a high standard of care, and as a member of the main family, she received even more so.

Li Wei said, "Sometimes, seeing for yourself is more reliable than listening to others. As a member of the Demon Realm's ruling class, you should investigate why the Calamity Clan has so much support. You should also investigate the way the noble class manages the commoner demons and find out where things went wrong."

Li Wei was speaking from the heart. To be honest, the nobles of the Demon Realm have mastered the art of controlling the people to an art form. The social injustices within the human realm are nothing compared to those in the Demon Realm.

The Demon Realm maintains a facade of civilization, but in reality, it remains a slave society. The relatively closed environment prevents commoner demons from even escaping, forcing them to accept the rule of the aristocracy.

This reminded Li Wei of the Republic of China era in Chong Kingdom. On the surface, it was a story of love, hate, and passion among talented men and beautiful women, but inside it was the numbness and despair of ordinary people. Moreover, the Demon Realm was much darker than the Republic of China era. Although everyone possessed extraordinary power, the power wielded by nobles was far greater than that of ordinary demons. This resulted in ordinary demons having no basic freedom or dignity when facing nobles. This situation has continued to this day, which shows how exaggerated the hatred accumulated within the Demon Realm has become.

It is precisely because of this that even though the Calamity Gang was falsely accused of massacring a city, so many ordinary demons were still willing to support them.

Moreover, as the number of attacks launched by the Calamity Clan increased, many civilian demons began to suspect whether the Calamity Clan was indeed responsible for the massacre that occurred back then.

After all, with so many attacks in succession, if the Calamity Gang were to massacre cities every time, more than a dozen cities should have been completely wiped out by now. However, after each attack, the Calamity Gang only leaves behind a large number of leaflets, calling on the common demons to rise up and resist the nobles.

It is precisely because of this that the commoner demons have now begun to doubt the propaganda launched by the higher-ups.

........................

Inside the secret base of the Calamity Gang, the members of the Calamity Gang, who had won a great victory, were drinking and celebrating. The protagonist of the party was a young demon with dark eyes and a face that was somewhat similar to Levi's.

"Mark, this time we really owe you a lot, but those bastards from the Lin family, their desperate screams in the face of death were absolutely fantastic!"

“My father had his tongue cut out by those bastards just for saying something bad about the Lin family. They even sealed the wound so his tongue could never grow back. My father committed suicide because of this. Mark, I was able to get revenge, all thanks to you!”

“My sister was forcibly conscripted into the household by the third young master of the Tatarin family. For the safety of our family, my sister had no choice but to submit to that beast! Mark, you helped me get revenge. I will do anything you ask me to do.”

The young man known as Mark was one of the new members who voluntarily joined the Calamity Clan during this period. With his formidable strength and hatred for the nobles, he gained a foothold within the Calamity Clan and won the approval of everyone.

Kruzere put down his glass and said, "I'm curious, Mark, don't you have a name? This one looks like a substitute for some kind of weapon."

Mark said, "Because I no longer know my own name. I'm sure I have a name. But the experiments in the lab made me lose my memory, so now I only know that I am Mark, a biological weapon used against the Bloc of Calamity."

The demon from the populist faction said, "Judging from your name, that implies there was another experimental subject before you. Where are they?"

Mark shook his head and said, "I don't know. They may still be alive, or they may be dead. When I escaped from the lab, I killed all the researchers and searched the entire research institute, but I couldn't find any test subjects other than myself. However, I did find data on the previous test subjects in the computer."

Mark is Li Wei's new pet. His identity is a monster who survived in a biological weapon research institute in the Demon Realm. He uses ancient forbidden magic and the latest biotechnology, and his strength far exceeds that of ordinary high-ranking demons.

Of course, this little one's strength is no match for the others. After all, this little one uses the original body of a demon from the Demon Realm and is a very ordinary civilian demon who has been modified.

The commoner demon, who was the original body, was tortured to the point of being crippled by the nobles. His hands and feet were cut off, and he witnessed how the nobles violated his wife and daughters. This despair led Li Wei to make a contract with him. He voluntarily allowed himself to be transformed into a puppet by Li Wei, but he begged Li Wei to preserve his soul for a period of time so that he could watch his enemies be destroyed.

Just a few hours ago, the original owner of this puppet body fulfilled his wish and witnessed the massacre of the Darlin family. Li Wei even helped him meticulously chop each member of the Darlin family into mincemeat, allowing the noble demons of the Darlin family to experience the ultimate fear before their deaths.

The soul, its wish fulfilled, chose self-annihilation, requiring no intervention from Li Wei. This soul had already found its purpose; even if it had continued to exist, it would have been plunged into endless suffering due to the loss of its wife and daughter. Therefore, it chose self-annihilation, which, in Li Wei's view, though an act of escapism, was not shameful.

In fact, Li Wei had invited him to have a new body made so that he could fight against those noble forces, but this unfortunate fellow who had lost everything chose to refuse.

This unfortunate fellow disappeared, and a bio-weapon demon named Mark was born.

Sherpa said, "During this period, the higher-ups in the Demon Realm have been intensifying their efforts to hunt us down. Three bases have already been forced to be abandoned. Although we have won many victories, these victories are too insignificant. Even with Mark joining us, it's still the same. We are like flies trying to fight against elephants. The other side can lose countless times because they can afford to lose, but if we lose even once, we may end up losing everything we have achieved."

The demon said, "Sherba, there's no need to say such discouraging things during the celebration. We've won several battles in a row, it's time for us to be happy. If we don't celebrate now, who knows how long we'll have to wait for another chance to celebrate."

Sherpa sighed, “It’s not that we shouldn’t celebrate, but that we shouldn’t let our guard down. We can’t afford to lose, so we can’t afford any mistakes. I don’t want to see anyone absent at the next gathering.”

Everyone understood that if a member was absent, it usually meant they had been murdered, because everyone was required to attend the Calamity Clan's gatherings without exception.

Chapter 1. A Difficult Situation

Li Weixin opened up a small operation because the Disaster Gang is indeed at an absolute disadvantage and could be wiped out at any time. Opening up this small operation can be seen as a way to secure a minimum guarantee for the Disaster Gang, so that the gang won't be completely wiped out after just one loss.

After all, that's how it is when a skinny guy fights a strong guy. No matter how many hits the strong guy takes, he can still stand. But the skinny guy has to fall down as soon as he takes a hit. Don't be fooled by how big the Calamity Gang is now. Once they have a battle with Sajax, the Calamity Gang will definitely be wiped out.

Sajax is known as the strongest demon lord in history, and this isn't just boasting; he truly possesses such power. As a pure brute, the fact that he became one of the four great demon lords speaks volumes about his fighting prowess, commanding the respect of the other three and preventing them from harboring any ambitions.

Mark said, "Although I joined the organization relatively late, I know that the current situation is not optimistic. Senior Sherpa is right. We cannot be too optimistic or careless. We are already a thorn in the side of those four demon kings, and the other side has an absolute advantage in intelligence network and personnel. What we need to do is mobilize the masses. Since we cannot gain an advantage in military strength, we should try to gain an advantage in intelligence."

Sherpa said, “But we don’t have enough gold, which is a problem. Although everyone hates nobles and wishes they were dead, there are far too few informants who dare to provide us with intelligence. And the biggest problem is that we lack the ability to distinguish between true and false intelligence. If we fall for false intelligence, we will suffer heavy losses.”

Mark raised his hand and said, "I can help with that. When I was undergoing modifications in the lab, I mastered a lot of ancient mental magic. These spells are very evil and specialize in controlling targets. For our future, I can use this power."

Sherpa looked surprised. He hadn't expected Mark to possess such an ability. Mental magic was easy to learn but difficult to master; even a child could do basic sensory interference. However, advanced sensory manipulation and even more advanced manipulation of living beings were beyond the reach of ordinary demons.

After all, demons are not human, but a mythical race of creatures whose entire population possesses extraordinary power. Their individual mental resistance is extremely strong, and they can easily manipulate human mental magic. Applying such magic to demons would only annoy them. To control demons, such mental magic requires a very high level of ability.

The Calamity Clan is ultimately a resistance organization whose vast majority of members are commoner demons. Even among nobles, only a very limited number of people can master high-level mental magic, let alone these peasants of the Calamity Clan.

So when they heard that Mark also possessed fairly advanced mental magic, not only Sherpa was stunned, but everyone else was also dumbfounded. But when they finally realized what was happening, they were overjoyed.

High-level mental magic can be said to have strategic value no less than that of top-tier artifacts. In a time when artifacts are so common, it can even be said to be rarer than artifacts.

Sherpa said, "If that's the case, then it's a huge help. The previous intelligence verification work has been giving me a headache. If we can more easily determine the authenticity of intelligence, then we'll have more energy to do other things."

The previous intelligence screening work was done by the Sherpas, including liaising with informants and recruiting new ones. This work is very important and not just anyone can do it. One must be bold, meticulous, and good at interpersonal communication.

Sherpa entrusted Mark with this task because Mark had already proven his loyalty to the organization. After all, Mark had previously chopped all the members of the Tatarin family into minced meat, left his own special mark on the wall, and openly challenged the four demon kings of the demon realm, which was enough to show his stance.

He wasn't worried that Mark was a spy planted by the Demon King's side, because the Demon Realm's higher-ups would never sacrifice an entire noble family for something like that. If the Demon King did such a thing, it would cause the entire noble ruling system to collapse.

It was precisely because Mark's stance was so firm that Sherpa felt comfortable letting him do this kind of work, allowing him to extricate himself from such tedious tasks and focus on publicity and external liaison.

Engaging in a propaganda war with the Demon Realm's higher-ups is extremely disadvantageous and exhausting for the Calamity Clan, but it's something that must be done. In order to clear the Calamity Clan of all the accusations leveled against them by the Demon Realm's higher-ups, this work is essential. If they don't seize the high ground on the fishing boats, the other side will suppress the Calamity Clan from there. To mobilize a large force, they have to rely on the fishing boats; this is something that cannot be achieved by force.

Although the power of the masses is still suppressed or even destroyed when faced with absolute power, Sherpa and the others still want to awaken ordinary demons.

Although it's unethical to do this, because most civilian demons are very pessimistic, the current situation in the demon realm is like a dark room without doors or windows and no air at all, where everyone is about to suffocate. What can the members of the Calamity Clan do besides making the awakened people even more desperate?

Moreover, many ordinary demons simply did not believe that the Calamity Gang could achieve final victory, because the power gap between the two sides was too great. The Calamity Gang, with its small number of people, had to face the entire Demon Realm's high-level army and civil servant system, which totaled more than 20 million people. With such a huge numerical disparity, the Demon Realm's high-level officials could drown the Calamity Gang with their spittle.

Moreover, the Demon Realm's military and civil service system are all vested interests, deeply intertwined with the nobility. If the Calamity Brigade wants to target the nobility, it must first dismantle this deeply entrenched system, which is no easy task, and Sherpa himself is aware of this.

If it were merely about overthrowing the old aristocracy and having them emerge as the new aristocracy, perhaps the military and civil servants could still be won over. But what they were doing was smashing the entire old world, allowing the ordinary demons who had always been kneeling to stand up with dignity. This was tantamount to offending all the vested interests to the death.

Sherpa knew he had boarded the pirate ship of Kruzere and Katrelia, but he was also somewhat excited. If he could truly create a new world where everyone could live with dignity, then he didn't care about noble titles.

Chapter 1. Organizing New Students

Although Mark was one of the weaker members of Levi's group, essentially a degraded version of Levi's original self, his abilities were extremely comprehensive. Naturally, he could not escape Sherpa's perception of her psychological changes, and he felt that the changes in the Brigade of Calamity were a good thing.

The members of the Calamity Clan are not stupid. Their long-term struggle with the higher-ups of the Demon Realm has taught them to utilize all available power around them. So, while they may not be the smartest, their thinking is definitely very sharp.

Mark said, "Since ordinary demons in the Demon Realm fear the power of nobles, why can't we go to the human world to recruit new allies? Although there are certain risks involved, it would at least solve our manpower problem."

Kruzere asked in surprise, "You mean humans?"

Mark said, "To be honest, demons are beings with an extremely strong ability to assimilate. They can turn almost any species into a demon, even dragons. Moreover, there are quite a few individuals in the demon realm who have evolved from humans. Now that we have the ability to freely enter and leave the human world, it would be a real shame not to make good use of this ability. Furthermore, the gods are now exposed to humanity, and humanity is seeking the power to protect itself. Why can't we act as demons who have evolved from humans? We can form a united front and then attack from both inside and outside. Humanity has billions of people; there must be forces that can help us."

Kruzere sighed and said, "What you said makes some sense, but it's not enough to convince me. After all, humans are quite cunning, and they can't be trusted."

Mark said, "There is a populous country that can cooperate with us, and I think they would also like to be able to acquire new power."

Mark's statement piqued everyone's interest. Demons are complex, and so are humans; both have good and bad members. With mental magic as a support, no one was worried about loyalty.

Sherpa said, "Tell me your thoughts; perhaps this will be the key to breaking this deadlock."

Mark said, "I suggest everyone learn about the country of Chong. I personally think they are very suitable as partners. After all, the people of this country have a bottom line, and they are also more honest and kind compared to other ethnic groups and countries. If we can integrate into this community, not only will the liberation of the Demon Realm be possible, but we can even make further progress, allowing the human world to also gain a foothold for demons, and from there, we can reach for the stars."

Mark's words made everyone think. Chongguo has a huge population base. If they could really get such power to help them, it wouldn't be impossible for them to directly confront the Demon Realm.

Moreover, they all understood how the Chong Kingdom was established. After hundreds of years of turmoil and chaos, idealists groped their way out of the darkness. It can be said that among several generations of mankind, the Chong Kingdom of this generation is an unprecedented existence.

Moreover, everyone realized that their current position was so similar to that of Chongguo back then.

Mark continued, "It's all up to people. Compared to Amei, I trust Chongguo more. If this can be handled well, the Calamity Gang can rise instantly. Of course, I think we should change our name. After all, the name Calamity Gang is too sinister. It makes people think we're not good people. We need a more prestigious and righteous name."

Everyone nodded, because what Mark said was indeed true, and what he said was also very practical, so the possibility of failure was not high.

Katrea looked at everyone and said, "Let's think of a good name for our organization. We are a righteous army that intends to overthrow the rule of the nobility. This name should let everyone know our determination!"

Katrea's words stirred up a commotion among the crowd. Everyone started brainstorming and listing the names they came up with on paper. Before long, there were hundreds of names.

Then everyone began the screening process, and those unreliable names were eliminated first. Although the organization members who came up with these names felt regretful, the names were so unreliable that everyone around could see it.

After repeated screenings, only a few names remained. Then, everyone voted on the remaining options, which took about half an hour, and finally, the new name for the Calamity Gang was decided.

The Alliance for Salvation of the Suffering.

This is the name that everyone wants. The literal meaning of this name is very simple and straightforward: to save those who are suffering and pitiful. And who are these pitiful people? They are those who are oppressed by injustice and darkness.

Moreover, the name does not specifically mention the demon realm because the scope of the Alliance for the Salvation of the Suffering is not limited to demons. All hardworking people who suffer and endure hardship are the objects of the Alliance's salvation.

Moreover, the name also carries a deeper meaning: it is not easy to smash the old world to create a new one, so let's start now, with our own hands, to create a new world that can give everyone warmth and dignity.

The Sherpas drew new inspiration from the name and immediately picked up a piece of paper to begin drafting a new action plan for the organization. For an organization to grow and become stronger, it must have its own core ideology to maintain cohesion among its members.

The previous scourge was just a small workshop, with everyone united by hatred for the nobility. This kind of cohesion based on hatred was quite extreme and not conducive to the long-term development of the organization. Therefore, a new action plan became an essential ideology for the organization.

Destruction is easy, construction is difficult. In the past, the Chaos Group, without an action plan, only knew how to destroy and annihilate, which was extremely detrimental to the organization's long-term development. Sherpa at the time did not realize this, because he only regarded the organization as a tool for his revenge.

The Sherpa has now awakened and knows what he truly needs to do: not to destroy, but to create—to create a Promised Land where all common demons can live with dignity. This goal is extremely difficult and dangerous; it's a life-or-death struggle. But he is prepared to sacrifice himself for this great cause.

That is why he is now drafting an action plan. The existence of the action plan can guide the organization to move forward, even if he unfortunately dies, the organization can continue to move forward.

However, with a newcomer like Mark, what kind of problems should the organization face in terms of development?

Chapter 1. Moral Chaos Shattered

While Li Wei was secretly participating in the meeting to organize new members of the organization, Li Wei himself was enjoying a sumptuous banquet hosted by the Gremory family.

Li Wei sat at one side of the long table, with a variety of sumptuous dishes in front of him. The demons practiced a separate-serving system, which is now common in Europe and America and originated from the demons.

There weren't many people at dinner. Neither Sajax nor Geoticus were there. Inside the mansion, only the women of the Gremory family remained, making the dinner table extremely dominated by women.

Levi cut the steak on his plate, looked at Rias sitting across from him, and said, "Neither Sajax nor Mr. Geotix are here. They've been very busy lately~?"
