Why must the devil be Defeated?-Chapter 1078 - 942: My Body Won’t Mutate, Right?

"...!"

As the sensation of solid ground returned, Shane abruptly awakened as if by reflex, instinctively reaching forward as if trying to hold onto something.

Yet at this moment, Shane was already back in his own home, once again in his room and not in that familiar Temple anymore.

"Sigh..."

Shane remained speechless for a long time, only letting out a sigh and retracting his outstretched hand after a while.

"It seems that the Goddess won’t reveal any more to me."

Shane’s mood turned complex once again.

Reflecting on the Goddess’s every move, and her clearly directed words, Shane seemed to have guessed her identity.

"I didn’t expect her to actually be awake..."

Shane didn’t know how to describe his feelings at the moment.

Should he feel honored?

After all, he had encountered the supreme existence that no one else could meet and received some hints from her mouth.

But it was clear that she had no intention of intervening in this situation, which made Shane feel she was indeed as indifferent as rumors suggested.

Should he feel indignant, accusing her of not saving him?

That Shane couldn’t do either.

Perhaps she truly was as indifferent as rumors suggested, indifferent to the point of being unkind, and feeling cold and ruthless. But ultimately, she is a God, a truly omnipotent God Spirit, using the thought process of ordinary people to point fingers at her seemed like a tactic that didn’t even qualify as moral coercion.

So, the best approach was to regard her as an unknown observer, just as she had said.

From this perspective, considering the matter, one should instead be grateful for the hints she provided.

Shane shook his head, flinging the complex thoughts about her out of his mind.

Next, Shane focused all his attention on the hints she gave.

"Resurrecting Demon King...?"

Shane muttered to himself.

Such a significant issue, should he bring it up?

But even if he did, what then?

It would only shock and terrify Lidas and the others, but wouldn’t change anything.

Now, everyone was nearly helpless against the newly-born Primordial Demon. If they fell into panic because of the Demon King’s matter, the efficiency of their battle would only be lower.

Rather than that, it would be better to wait and see.

"At least, from the Goddess’s tone, that guy Danass shouldn’t have gathered all necessary conditions to resurrect the Demon King yet."

Even if the resurrection of the Demon King doesn’t require the symbolic source of its concept, they still need to collect all the essentials to resurrect the Demon King.

And Shane had some idea about those "essentials".

So, it wasn’t entirely hopeless yet.

Additionally...

"Even if the Demon King was resurrected, in order to regain her peak strength, she’d have to reclaim her source object."

Unfortunately, Shane also had an idea about that so-called source object.

Shane then skillfully immersed his consciousness into his body, looking toward his Sea of Consciousness.

There, the Holy Sword quietly bathed in golden light.

Beside it, a red and a blue Treasure Jade rotated while similarly basking in red and blue radiance.

Previously, Shane only knew that these two Treasure Jades had profound connections with the Demon King and Supreme God.

Until this moment, Shane understood what they truly were.

Without a doubt, these two Treasure Jades are the source objects of the Demon King and Supreme God, representing their existence concepts themselves.

Whether the Demon King or Supreme God, since the moment of their birth, they held such a Treasure Jade.

Shane first looked at the red Treasure Jade.

"This is the Demon King’s Treasure?"

Shane could affirm this.

Moreover, he could recall when this Treasure actually entered his body.

"It must be when I was sent to the Holy Sanctuary by Nien, and met Ominis."

At that time, Shane boldly embraced the supreme Goddess and slept with her out of sympathy.

It was from that moment Shane first dreamt of the past involving the Demon King and Supreme God.

Then, during the dream, Shane saw the red Treasure Jade flying toward him and melding into his body.

Recalling that the Demon King’s Treasure was taken by the Supreme God after the Demon King’s death a millennium ago, Shane now understood what had happened.

"Certainly, it was then that Supreme God Ominis released the Demon King’s Treasure, allowing it to enter my body, right?"

Shane sighed once more.

He truly hadn’t realized that there existed such a dangerous yet precious item inside his body.

"Speaking of which, the Demon Roar Chain actively breaking free from Helimis’s control, forming a bond with me, recognizing me as its master, could it also be because of the Demon King’s Treasure?"

Shane suddenly remembered this matter.

Shane had always found that moment inexplicable, until now he finally understood.

"The creator’s source is within me, it naturally wouldn’t assist the wicked for evil, nor become my enemy."

Thus, the Demon Roar Chain recognized Shane as its master, becoming his auxiliary weapon.

Although Shane hardly used it.

"The question is, although the Demon King’s Treasure is understandable, how about the other one that is clearly the Supreme God’s source Treasure?"

Shane turned his gaze to the Blue Treasure Jade, his head starting to ache again.

When did this come to be within his body?

Could it be the Goddess awoke because of this?

"I’m somewhat perplexed..."

Shane’s face was filled with distress.

```

The Hero’s Holy Sword.

The Demon King’s Treasure Jade.

The Goddess’ Treasure.

These three things, symbolizing the highest scale of concepts at this time, are all within my own body, how can I not be in a panic?

Not knowing their existence, or when unsure of what they are, Shane could ignore them and remain calm. But now that he knows what they are, Shane feels as if his body harbors several terrifying bombs, making him somewhat nervous.

The Holy Sword is fine, as it’s his own item. Shane can clearly feel the connection between himself and it and is incredibly familiar with it, feeling a bond as strong as blood.

But those two treasures, although Shane feels that the hidden power in his body seems to be forming some kind of connection with them, he completely lacks the feeling of being able to control them.

Just like how only the Hero can use the Hero’s Holy Sword, even other Heroes cannot use someone else’s Holy Sword, neither the Demon King’s Treasure nor the Goddess’ Treasure are controlled by Shane.

Their owners are solely the Demon King and the Supreme God.

Even though they are now within his body, if the Demon King and Supreme God wish, a single thought could summon them back immediately.

These items do not belong to me at all, yet brazenly reside in my body; Shane would be foolish not to be nervous.

"Will these two treasures eventually lose control and wreak havoc within my body?"

"If they remain so permanently, won’t my body mutate?"

"Will the Demon King and Supreme God manipulate these things to interfere with my body?"

Shane felt as though he might be developing a paranoia.

Just then...

"I think the treasures should not do anything to you."

The sudden voice startled Shane immensely.

It was then Shane realized that, besides himself, there was another person in his room whose appearance was unknown to him.

"La...Lasha?"

Shane looked at the maid who suddenly appeared in his room with surprise and fright.

It was indeed Lasha.

"I noticed unusual activity in your room, so I came to check the situation."

Seeing Shane’s face filled with astonishment and uncertainty, Lasha explained the reason for her appearance concisely.

"Then... can’t you refrain from appearing so unexpectedly?"

Shane patted his chest and couldn’t help but speak his complaint.

Lasha showed no expression of guilt at all.

"You were too immersed in your thoughts."

Lasha remarked flatly.

Shane could not refute.

He knew he was indeed overthinking things earlier.

Originally, it was just to visit Nien to see if he could meet the Supreme God and obtain some assistance. Who would have thought it would lead to such a significant matter, revealing some secrets about himself?

It’s inevitable he would suddenly become uncertain and overly suspicious, before he had a chance to adjust his mindset.

Of course...

"Even if it wasn’t this time, haven’t you always been appearing unexpectedly usually?"

Shane gazed indignantly at Lasha.

"I apologize."

Lasha apologized, though her face showed no other expression.

This gave Shane a sense of déjà vu.

(Come to think of it, Big Sister’s temperament is quite similar to that of the Goddess.)

Always so unruffled, with even a constant expressionless demeanor, facing any situation with calmness and indifference, without a hint of panic.

(Could this be the standard feature of a powerhouse?)

Shane smiled wryly.

Soon, Shane turned to Lasha.

"You just mentioned the treasures, right?" Shane asked Lasha, "Did you always know the Demon King’s treasure is here with me?"

Shane’s question caused Lasha to lift her head.

"Yes." Lasha replied calmly, "From the day the Master obtained the Demon King’s Treasure Jade, I have been sensitive to it."

It was an inevitable occurrence.

"I don’t know whether it was this body’s reaction to the Demon King’s Treasure or my origin causing the sensitivity to it." Lasha said calmly, "From that day, I knew the master had the treasure within him."

For this reason, Lasha abruptly embraced Shane at that time and made some warnings, advising him to be cautious.

The purpose was to subtly inform Shane that what lay within him might put him in danger.

Not that the treasure itself would do anything to Shane, but if this matter were known to others, it’s uncertain what unimaginable consequences could arise.

If outsiders knew of the treasure, which could not resurrect the Demon King, was released from the Supreme God, it would surely cause a worldwide upheaval.

"What about Laischa?" Shane asked puzzled, "Why doesn’t Laischa seem to have any special sensitivity to the treasure within me?"

This question made Lasha hesitate for a moment before finally answering.

"The Lady once lost an important power."

Lasha uttered those words.

"Lost an important power?"

Shane froze.

"Yes." Lasha nodded and said, "Because of this, she cannot sense the presence of the treasure within you."

After saying this, Lasha silently added in her heart.

(Now, though, the Lady might be able to sense the presence of the treasure, right?)

In any case, it seems the Lady has already reclaimed her power.

Still, where is she now?

Lasha quietly pondered in her heart.
