Abyss Dominator System-Chapter 7 - 4: The Man Who Crawled Out of the Abyss_2
Chapter 7 - 4: The Man Who Crawled Out of the Abyss_2
As the name suggests, a demon that has become a Demon Lord can control and cultivate other demons as subordinates, becoming soldiers and servants for their command.
Of course, becoming a Demon Lord is no easy matter. This requires assimilation by a layer of the Abyssal plane and recognition by the Will of the Abyss in order to obtain the identity of a Demon Lord.
Each layer of the Abyssal plane can only have one Demon Lord. Every year, each Abyssal plane conducts an Abyssal Blood War, allowing every demon to participate in order to rapidly enhance and strengthen themselves, and also challenge the Demon Lord of their respective plane!
Once you become a Demon Lord, you can obtain a Virtual Divine Status in your layer of the Abyssal plane, whose function is equivalent to that of true godhood. Although it only takes effect within that layer, its power is still tremendous!
For example, if Bai Yan becomes a Lord, as long as any creature on this layer of the Abyss mentions his name, code, or nickname, he can know the content of the seven words following his name!
There are many benefits to becoming a Demon Lord, but obviously, these are not things Bai Yan can consider right now.
He is still just a larva...
"Enough! I'm tired of being a larva! I want to be a human!"
Bai Yan shouted in his heart, decisively choosing to evolve into a Small Inferior Demon!
The image of a Small Inferior Demon is that of a strangely ugly creature with ragged wings on its back, its entire body pitch-black, skin withered, and a stature merely half a meter tall.
Although it's ugly, it at least has limbs, ears, a nose, and a mouth, resembling a human!
A Demon Larva can only evolve into a Level 1 Demon, and while the attributes of Level 1 Demons vary, their overall strength is more or less similar, so Bai Yan prefers to evolve into a Small Inferior Demon.
A Small Inferior Demon possesses the ability to cast simple spell-like abilities, can fly at low altitudes, and its physical attributes such as strength and agility far exceed that of a Demon Larva.
"System, I choose to evolve into a Small Inferior Demon!"
Bai Yan solemnly spoke in his mind.
"Shua~!"
The system interface underwent changes, with strange lights flowing out, as if an ancient breath had arrived, carrying a wild and vast momentum. The peculiar light overflowed from the screen, irresistibly enveloping the body of Bai Yan's Demon Larva.
Evolution was underway...
Bai Yan could feel his body changing bit by bit, his body elongating, growing a spine, sprouting limbs, with sharp black claws emerging!
"Pur-la~!"
"Whirr~!"
A pair of powerful wings unfurled, violently breaking through the rubble, sending fragments flying as swiftly as bullets.
At this point, Bai Yan's form had become a demon less than half a meter tall, with flesh wings on its back, pitch-black skin, withered in body, and somewhat humanoid in shape.
Small Inferior Demon!
Bai Yan clasped his sharp black claws, feeling absolutely wonderful to have limbs!
A surge of indescribable power rose to his heart, making Bai Yan extremely excited.
"Hu Ya~!"
Bai Yan wanted to bellow, but what came out was a sharp, hoarse roar, which left him somewhat depressed.
Bai Yan's voice made a few Demon Larvae fighting in the distance tremble, they lay prostrate on the ground, no longer fighting, terrified to the extreme.
Bai Yan was now a Lower Demon, with absolute deterrence over the Demon Larvae!
"Hehe, Mr. Bai has arrived! Little bugs!"
Bai Yan snickered, wanting to go eat the Demon Larvae to continue growing stronger.
Even the weakest bugs could provide some attribute points, right?
However, an omnipresent will enveloped Bai Yan, preventing him from approaching the Demon Larvae.
Instead, it drove him away, forcing him to leave the area.
This was the will of the Abyssal plane, and it was the protective rule for the birthplace causing trouble.
Bai Yan had no choice but to give up, longingly taking a few glances at the Demon Larvae before flying away reluctantly.
First-time flying made Bai Yan feel a bit uneasy.
But he was a quick learner, managing to maintain low-altitude flight at a not-too-slow speed.
Soon, Bai Yan left the birthplace of the Demon Larvae, left the edge of the Nether River, and landed in a more secluded area.
"System, show me my current attribute status."
Foll𝑜w current novℯls on ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm.
Bai Yan looked around cautiously, hiding himself, then instructed the system.
"Shua~!"
The system screen popped up, displaying Bai Yan's current attributes.
Name: Bai Yan.
True Name: None.
Age: Nineteen years old.
First Identity: Human.
Camp: Lawful Good
Second Identity: Small Inferior Demon from the Abyss.
Camp: Chaotic Evil.
Physical Attributes: Strength 31, Agility 29, Constitution 31, Intelligence 28.
Demon Talent: [Demon's Eye] Can see through objects to a certain extent, can sense the strength of living beings to a certain degree; it is an evolvable talent. At its peak, it can pierce through all illusions of the world and see the truth of all things in the universe.
Demon Skills: [Corrosion Technique] A natural talent skill of Small Inferior Demons, classed as a spell-like skill, which continuously inflicts corrosive damage on enemies.
Usable Evolution Points: None.
Usable Demon Energy: 1000 points.
After Bai Yan's evolution, all four of his main attributes rose by 10 points each, which is very significant! Additionally, he has gained another talent and skill!
Bai Yan's strength has undergone an earth-shattering transformation!
If Bai Yan were to return to the Main Plane now, killing a buffalo with a single punch would be no problem.
With all his strength, Bai Yan could even overturn a truck!
Each of Bai Yan's evolutions comes with a chance to activate a type of Demon Talent. The talent of the Demon's Eye is quite remarkable, and it is the kind that can grow.
This left Bai Yan very satisfied.
Moreover, the skill displayed in the data is a characteristic spell-like skill that comes with Bai Yan's evolution into a Small Inferior Demon.
As for the Demon Energy, it too is a byproduct of the evolution. It can be used to enhance punches and kicks, injure and control objects internally, or exchange for exclusive Abyssal Plane items in the System's Demon Mall.
"Not bad, indeed, in the Abyssal Plane, constant fighting is the only way to strength!"
Bai Yan nodded in contentment.
A hint of bloodlust flickered in his deep eyes; unknowingly, his second identity's evil camp had influenced Bai Yan—at least now he would not shy away from fighting, but rather had a hidden desire for combat.
Currently, Bai Yan, strictly speaking, has two distinct personalities.
One is human nature, the other purely demonic.
In other words, Bai Yan is almost in a state of split personality: one represents human goodness, the other demonic evil.
Humans belong to the Lawful Good camp, Demons to the Chaotic Evil camp; the two are natural opposites, as different as water and fire!
Bai Yan, owning two completely different identities, was unsure whether this was good or bad; at least, it wasn't something he could determine at the moment.
After the evolution ended, Bai Yan asked the System whether his Small Inferior Demon body would remain stationary in the Abyss while he returned to the Main Plane.
Like... just how a character in an online game of the Main Plane would remain offline?
Bai Yan's imagination was quite wild. He was concerned that upon his return, the Small Inferior Demon might stand frozen in the same place, making it easy prey for other Demons to devour.
The System was somewhat speechless at this.
[System: Rest assured, Host! Upon your return, your second identity will slumber within your human body, and your demon body will also automatically merge into your human body. It will not stay in the Abyss, nor will there be any risk of being devoured by other Demons.]
The System gave a definite reply.
Bai Yan was shocked: "System, once the two bodies merge, will I still be human? I mean... can I maintain a complete human form?"
If there were any Demon features added to his body, it would definitely attract worldly attention, and he'd be captured for dissection and research!
Bai Yan did not want to be a lab rat!
The strength of the Small Inferior Demon was not enough to contend with the current technological weapons of the Main Plane.
[System: Don't worry, your second identity will not affect your first identity in any way. Of course, you can also freely use all the talents, strengths, and skills of your second identity while in human form.]
The System provided the answer.
"Then what are we waiting for! Brother Yan wants to return! Hurry and open the gate!"
Bai Yan chuckled.
Although he was laughing and sounded relaxed, a hint of bloodthirst swept through the depths of Bai Yan's eyes.
Young Master Li, once you saw me as someone beneath your notice, someone poor and lowly, has now transformed into a Demon, climbing back up from the lowest depths of the Abyss!
[As you wish, my Host.]
The cold voice of the System resounded.
