Chapter 457 - - 436 Demon Realm Disturbance_3

—————✧✧✧✧—————

“My Divine Power naturally reflects my own form…” Duge looked at Raphael and suddenly dropped the topic, “Raphael, there’s no time to explain this to you now, just tell me what happened in the Demon Realm? Within the divine revelation I received, there was a prophecy of a god-demon war, and I must know what has happened in the Demon Realm?”

“The divine revelation prophesied a god-demon war?” Raphael frowned.

“Yes, the god-demon war,” Duge nodded grimly, “The five Ancient Deities were corrupted by the Evil God, and they chose me with the last of their Divine Power to confront this catastrophe. I cannot fail their hopes, so tell me, what exactly has happened in the Demon Realm? This concerns whether the Solar God can be resurrected…”

“The Solar God can be resurrected?” asked Raphael.

Now his head was a mess; the scraps of information Duge had uttered were piecing together into a drama in his mind—a drama with many contradictions and unclear parts, but he was beginning to realize that things might not be quite as he had imagined.

Otherwise, the other party could have simply killed him and wouldn’t need to waste so many words.

“Yes, the Solar God can be resurrected, all of the Ancient Deities must be killed once to completely expel the Evil God within them,” Duge said, “Although I do not know by what means the Ancient Deities will be resurrected, they did say that they would ultimately return.”

“Why do you call yourself the Divine King?” Raphael asked.

“With the gods fallen, who else but I should be called the Divine King to hold sway?” Duge chided, “Raphael, what are you waiting for? You’re just a mere Archangel; what makes me worth deceiving to you?”

He pointed to Phyra and the others, “Phyra, Reilir, Remiel, Miller, Averill—are they all fools? To watch with their eyes wide open as I killed the Solar God, and then stay with me, the murderer, in Bordeluna waiting for you to interrogate them?”

Raphael looked around suspiciously at everyone, took a deep breath and said, “I have one last question.”

“Speak,” Duge’s tone was cold, already showing impatience.

“Even if the Solar God was corrupted by the Evil God, killing him would have been enough. Why dismember and desecrate his body? You even used the Solar God’s head to strike me just now; I did not see the slightest bit of respect for the Solar God from you,” Raphael said, “Without a satisfactory explanation, I won’t believe a single word you say…”

Using the Solar God’s head to strike you was entirely due to convenience, but can I tell you that?

“Firstly, the Solar God was already dead; it was the Evil God we killed, and dismemberment is the only way to prevent the resurrection of the Evil God,” Duge looked at Raphael and said, “Secondly, the Solar God allowed us to use his body as a weapon, to wield his Solar Divine Power, because we still have to kill the other Ancient Deities who have been corrupted by the Evil God; we cannot face them with our own strength alone. Are you satisfied with this explanation?”

“I’m not satisfied,” Raphael said, “If you truly received a divine revelation, then give me one day to investigate the truth in Bordeluna.”

“Fine, I’ll allow you to investigate the truth in Bordeluna,” Duge looked at Raphael in disgust, shook his head, “But first you must tell me, what has happened in the Demon Realm? My time is precious, the sooner I get the news, the sooner I can prepare for the disasters to come. Raphael, you can be upright, you can be loyal, but I do not wish you to be obstinate…”

After a moment of silence, Raphael said, “The seven Demon Kings are marshaling their armies as if to attack the Mortal Realm. Above the territories of the seven Demon Kings, clouds of Black Magic have gathered, forming a name called Duge, and it has persisted for two days now; I do not know what it means?”
