What kind of relationship does the familiar demon have with King Solomon, the "demon enslaver"? Unilateral absolute servitude? Or is it similar to a friend, ally or partner? As powerful and arrogant demons, the Familiar Demons would have to remain loyal to King Solomon if they set aside the mandatory binding force of the contract. Why was it that at the end of the ancient divine war, King Solomon suddenly transferred all the six familiar demons who were extremely important to the battlefield back to him, and then sealed them in the abyss contract that had just been completed? Is it because he cannot truly complete the extremely powerful God-killing Gear without doing this, or because under the combined influence of the gods, he has begun to lose control of these unruly demon gods and has to take advantage of them first?
These questions have always been an eternal research topic for those demonologists. They just want to study them from the limited number of original remains, which have been repeatedly cleaned, revised, deleted, reorganized and harmonized by the Holy Light Holy See. The truth is an almost impossible task. As a result, countless schools of thought naturally emerged. Each of the highly respected and knowledgeable demonologists claimed that their lifelong research conclusions were the truth. Unfortunately, no one could provide strong evidence that could convince others.
It is not surprising that there are various speculations. As one of the "three great enslavers", King Solomon used "slavery" to enslave all demons. As the "enslaved" party, it is impossible for the demons to be grateful in principle, not to mention that the demon clan is inherently aggressive, cruel and domineering, and has always been the party that enslaves others. Their powerful racial talents are almost comparable to those of the dragons. But there is no bottleneck restriction on the breeding and growth of dragons. Coupled with the cruel growth method of survival of the fittest, the devil is destined to be the most unsuitable race to become a "slave".
That was when the twelve magic emperors still ruled everything in the world. After all, not only the demons, but also the dragons, who are prouder and more powerful than the demons, are also the slaves of another magic emperor, the "Dragon Slave" King North Omu. Not only was King Solomon not the most powerful of the twelve magical emperors. He's not even the most powerful of the three enslavers. Even if the demons are rebellious and rebellious by nature, there is nothing they can do about it. After all, in that era when gods were everywhere and demons were inferior to dogs, they simply did not have the capital to be unruly and willful.
King Solomon has fallen, and the twelve magic emperors have become an immortal but extremely distant legend. The Abyss Contract was personally sealed by the gods in this abyss maze, and was integrated into the "Abyss Contract" by King Solomon. , the current attitude and situation of the familiar demons who have become an integral part of this god-killing tool are even more curious. After all, it can be seen from the succubus queen Senanulu. They have not lost their true self and memory. After losing King Solomon, they will still go... Is it necessary to continue to be loyal to this bloodline that may be the source of shame and hatred
Because the Ancient God War was a surprise attack deliberately planned and launched suddenly by the gods of heaven, the magic emperors were not fully prepared for the war before. In fact, the real interest of most demon kings is only to study the true meaning of magic in their respective fields and to study the fundamental rules of the world. They have no interest in waging war or ruling all living beings. The countless major crimes they have committed, such as the giant The golem went berserk. The sinking of land masses, the sudden extinction of a certain race, etc... are actually just some accidents or by-products of magic research. Of course, the magic emperors will not care about the impact and consequences of their actions.
It was not until they were at a disadvantage in the war that the Magic Emperors hurriedly completed their respective God-killing tools, so several of them had no power to speak of, regardless of the powerful laws. In fact, it has not gone through complete testing and final adjustments, so it is not surprising that some problems and defects will be left. For example, the strange leg stick in Gron's hand is a semi-finished product of a god-killing device. After the demon kings fell one after another. To completely repair it has become something that even the gods cannot do, in fact. The gods in the heavens cannot even truly destroy these divine destruction tools, they can only passively seal them.
Gron serves as the "third party" present. She has been vaguely aware of the contradictions and oppositions between the two demons. It seems that the succubus queen Senanulu is loyal to King Solomon and chooses to continue to obey the contract and the blood of King Solomon, while the leader of the demons " "The King of Doom" Beria's thoughts in his mind right now are hard to say. This situation seems to be unexpected, but also seems to be reasonable. Although Goron was impatient and angry, worried about the situation of the ogre Chopper who was demonized by the miasma and suffered severe injuries, he also knew that it was not the time for him to get angry yet. Although the ogres believe in using violence to solve all problems, the story king Gronn also knows countless stories of recklessness leading to bad things.
"King Solomon...the source of blood...father...it's really interesting..."
The King of Doom stared at Goron, his eyes flashing with magic light, apparently using higher-level detection magic to analyze Goron. She had just seen through most of Goron's secrets at a glance, but this time she stared at him for a long time. Except for the curvature of her eyebrows getting higher and higher, she actually didn't say a word for a long time. Goron didn't speak, and the Succubus Queen waited quietly. I don't know how long it took, but Beria finally said: "Yes, this kid is indeed stained with a trace of King Solomon's bloodline. A few months ago, he slept with a woman from the Solomon family and successfully left his own seed in that woman. In compliance with the ancient contract provisions, once the abyss contract is unsealed, the new generation of 'Solomon' will officially grow and inherit. Before this contract, he was qualified to become the temporary owner of the contract, that is, our master. But the question is... why should I obey this contract? We have been sealed in that dark space with nothing for a long time. So deep in sleep that, except for you and me, it would take a long time for the other idiots to even remember who they are. That’s right! King Solomon gave us powerful power, helped us achieve the realm of demons, and even made us immortal. An immortal body, but I would rather not have this kind of eternity. Even death or even being enslaved is ten thousand times better than this kind of eternity. Have you forgotten how you spent these ten thousand years? So. Senanulu, answer me now. Why should I let us demons sacrifice everything for a bastard treaty that has long lost its power to bind me and will lead us back to the abyss of darkness and loneliness?”
Beria's voice got louder and louder as she spoke, and she even showed signs of losing control and going crazy. In response to her question, Senanulu seemed unable to give a reasonable explanation. Looking at her slightly twisted and deep-thinking expression, It seems that there is a possibility of being persuaded by the "Head of Familiar Demons" in front of him.
See this scene. Goron cursed secretly: Just kidding, what should I do? Without the power of the Abyss Contract, how can we save the demonized Chopper who is seriously injured and on the verge of death? Without the demon army summoned by the Abyss Contract, how could he recapture the abducted giant demon Rafana from the Empire's Dragon Knights
"Isn't it the area where the devil is best at playing with things like contracts?"
Just when the atmosphere was the deadliest and dullest, Goron suddenly spoke, and as soon as he spoke, he directly attracted the attention of the two demon gods to himself.
"What do you know! You brat, you have no place to speak here."
"I really don't know anything. I don't know how the God-killing Device works. I don't know what the text of the Abyss Contract is, and I don't know what you two bastard demons are thinking in their minds, but I do know one thing. And it’s enough to know that the topic you two guys are arguing about is completely meaningless.”
Gronn stared at the charming and charming Beria in front of him, and hummed: "If I remember correctly, in addition to being the 'King of Doom' with the name of destruction, you are also a 'Fraudster' who is also famous for his eloquence and deception. King, right? Although there are many legends about what your true power is. There are stories that describe you as a nightingale who can see through the circle of cause and effect, and there are bard lyrics that say you possess the power of bewitchment. The power that can tempt heroes to fall, but in my opinion you have at least one ability, but it is neither the power to see through fate nor the power to deceive people. The ability you really have is to be able to see through the hidden fears in other people's hearts and be able to Seeing through other people’s secrets that they least want outsiders to know.”
"I know very well how dangerous it is to deal with demons like you, so my biggest fear is to be betrayed by demons, and you immediately saw through my 'fear', and then used it to attack me and drive a wedge between me and Senna. The relationship between Nulu and Nulu. In the same way, you also saw through the deepest fear of the seal in Senanulu's heart, so you tried to arouse her fear, shake her belief, and take the initiative. In fact, you already knew that the abyss The unblocking of the contract is inevitable, and you have no ability to resist the contract. "
For a while, Goron was very interested in things like "contracts". In many stories, there are fools who are blinded by their souls, sign a contract with the devil and then end up. They are always because of the magic and terrifying power of words. Insufficient understanding of the degree allows those demons to easily grasp the loopholes hidden in the text, distort and misinterpret the contract content, and ultimately cause the contractor to end up in misfortune and death.
Gronn is a hybrid ogre. Although he has human blood and wisdom, he has no outstanding talent or interest in mastering words, so he has been warning himself in his heart not to try to play word games with the devil. , because you can never outplay them. But there must be someone stronger than the devil in this realm, and that is King Solomon, the "Demon Slave".
As Goron himself said, he knows nothing about many things, but he does not need to know everything. He only needs to know some fundamentals and facts, that is, King Solomon, as a slave of demons, is in heaven. Before the gods officially intervened, they had absolute dominance over all demons. To achieve this, one thing must be done, and that is to completely defeat the opponent in the area where they are best at. What the devil is best at, besides power, is naturally playing with the laws of contracts.
King Solomon undoubtedly did it, so the abyss contract he made must be perfect without any flaws. Even if there are flaws, they will never be the core part of the contract text, so Beria The sentence "The treaty has lost its binding force on him" directly awakened Goron. He believed that Beria simply did not have the power to resist the constraints of the contract, or that she was afraid of the coercive power of the contract. He had been provoking and misleading himself and the Succubus Queen from the very beginning.
How could the things that Gronn could see through be completely hidden from the Succubus Queen. After hearing Goron's words, she seemed to suddenly wake up. Suddenly he smiled and said: "Beria, your mental magic is still so terrifying. I am in a state of soul separation now, and you can actually affect me. Fortunately, my ogre brother's magic resistance is strong enough. The key is to be calm enough to make your plan fail."
At this time, Beria's face returned to the original smile, without the crazy and surly look he had before. She looked at Goron and said lightly: "You brat, although my strength is not even one ten thousandth of what it once was, it is not easy to wake up from my control. After all, my mind is The characteristic of magic is concealment. Even those demon-level beings often don't realize that they have been under my spell from the beginning. For a guy like you who is completely unaffected by magic, I am really the first. Seen once.”
Goron also broke out in a cold sweat and was terrified. Only then did he realize that the strange behavior of the Succubus Queen was actually caused by Beria's psychic magic from the very beginning. No wonder she had no reaction to Beria's identification. He really thought she was calm. I thought that if I had directly attacked him, I might have regretted it. It was only then that he faintly noticed the abnormality in his body. The seven weird little snakes appeared at the same time without knowing it, and they were still entangled in his head. When Goron realized this, the severe pain caused by the snake's "drilling" in the body came like a crazy tide. It was an incomparable pain that even cutting out the heart and bones could not compare to. Goron gritted his teeth. He quickly concentrated his attention and made these seven little things that he didn't know whether to be grateful or cursed to disappear again.
"Beria. I have given the seeds of the contract to my new little brother. Since you retain your reason and spiritual magic, what you give up must be the power of frontal combat. Otherwise, there is no need to deal with it in such a troublesome manner. We are here, hey! Brother Ogre, you can go up and fight, she is definitely no match for you now."
The second half of the Succubus Queen's words was addressed to Goron. In the sealed state, the dependent demons can only choose one of them between strength and self. Several other demons can still maintain their peak War King-level status after being unsealed. Although he has no fighting power, he has completely lost himself and cannot even carry out the most basic conversation and communication. Senanuru and Beria obviously chose to stay rational, but the price was that the Succubus Queen could only cling to Gronn like a parasitic ghost, and Beria also lost the ability to fight head-on and could only fight with Weird and unpredictable spiritual magic to achieve his intentions.
"It's true that I don't have the ability to fight head-on, but that doesn't mean that I can't hinder your attempt to restart the Abyss Contract. No matter what, I don't want to go back to that dead and boring dark space. It's what I regret most in the past ten thousand years. The only thing is that he didn't choose power over himself like those idiots, so at least he wouldn't be trapped in that damn place, unable to even find anyone to talk to." Beria stopped smiling. , said with a serious and decisive expression, obviously having made some bad and dangerous decisions. Senanulu immediately stopped Goron in her mind and told him to hold off for now, because she knew that as the leader of the demons, Beria would not be able to do anything if she wanted to hinder the activation of the contract. Of course, she would also have to do it. There will be a huge price to pay for this, but it's obvious from her look that she doesn't care at all. The dependent demons are immortal and coexist with the gods' destruction tools forever. There is nothing that they can truly fear.
"What if I could give you your freedom?"
"What did you say?"
Goron's sudden words once again shocked the two female demons, not only Beria, but also Senanulu. Although she was a demon completely loyal to Solomon's bloodline, she was obviously not completely uncomplaining about her situation. Otherwise, Beria would not have been given the opportunity to take advantage of it before. But after the initial surprise, the two demons immediately sneered at Goron's proposal. The contract made by King Solomon could not be broken even by the gods in heaven. What could he, a little ogre who could not even be called an ant in the eyes of the Demon King, do.
Gronn didn't care at all about the sarcasm cast by the two female demons, and continued to talk to himself: "I once asked a wise elder, if he accidentally made a contract with a demon that was not good for him and could not be modified, What to do next, she told me, 'Just think of another way to make a contract with the devil with the opposite content. ' Although this can only be regarded as a joke, it is not completely impossible to achieve in some cases. , at least one thing is clear, that is, the only thing that can resist the contract is the contract. So after you activate the abyss contract and recognize my identity as the owner of the contract, I can make another contract with you, as long as the content does not conflict. Under the circumstances, I can give you the greatest freedom to the demons, and I can also help the others find themselves. I have no ambitions, and I don’t expect to enslave you, use the power of you demons to conquer the world or destroy everything. I just want to. It's enough that you can help me save my family. After that, I will try my best to fulfill your wish! If you accept it, then come and make a contract with me!" (To be continued...)
