Why must the devil be Defeated?-Chapter 1090 - 954: Ancient Relics

The newly emerged [Primordial Demon] has no stronghold and no interaction with each other.

Demon Danas, with his power alone, manipulated the entire free-spirited actions of the new [Primordial Demon], orchestrating people from almost hostile forces as if they were mere puppets, while his whereabouts remained a mystery.

This situation is undoubtedly very troublesome.

"Generally speaking, to end a battlefield, in the absence of the enemy’s voluntary surrender or seeking peace, it’s necessary to destroy the enemy’s stronghold."

Goddess of Fate Lidas said solemnly.

"If the newly emerged [Primordial Demon] truly has no stronghold and lets everyone act freely, then we don’t have the option to destroy the enemy at once, stop the war, and restore peace."

Anima also looked heavy.

"In the current situation, there’s undoubtedly only one way to end the war," Shane said in a low voice, "and that is to defeat that Demon named Danas."

If this can be achieved, then with the loss of Danas, the only link and leader uniting everyone, the newly emerged [Primordial Demon] would naturally crumble internally.

Even if the war can’t be stopped immediately, the remaining traitors from various forces, yet to be subjugated, would stir up trouble worldwide, but they, unable to unify, would be annihilated sooner or later.

Although that’s far from satisfactory compared to destroying the enemy’s stronghold at once and directly ending the war, it’s the only action that can be taken now.

But the problem is...

"The whereabouts of that Demon Danas cannot be determined at all."

Lidas frowned tightly.

"Since he claims to help all his own camp hide their whereabouts, preventing us from finding them, it proves that he at least possesses a concealment ability at the same level as the previous leader of the [Primordial Demon], Helimis, right?"

Anima smiled wryly.

"A unique skill of that level still exists in this world, and it’s his son?"

Shane didn’t believe such a coincidence could happen.

A unique skill is not something that can be inherited; each person’s unique skill is one of a kind. Even if the effects are similar, the strength of power and the final impact, interventional and resultant effects will always have differences, more or less.

This rule, even unified races like the Dragon Race and Ice Woman Clan have to follow. Helimis is the only half-demon in this world, and he cannot be part of any unified race, so his offspring naturally couldn’t possess a similar unique skill.

An appearance of similar unique skills in a father-son duo is nearly zero unless it’s a unified race.

Moreover, not everyone can awaken a unique skill, which further reduces the probability.

Given that Danas was previously just a demon with exceptional Life Creation Magic, extremely weak himself and unable even to awaken a unique skill, and now he becomes a complete demon, surpassing his father, Shane had reason to believe one thing.

"That guy probably devoured his father, thus obtaining his power and unique skill, right?"

This is not impossible.

Demon Dragon Magell was devoured by Helimis right in front of Shane.

After devouring Demon Dragon Magell, Helimis became a complete demon.

Since that’s the case, as his blood relative, Danas could devour his father through some sort of blood bond, taking his power. That’s not an impossibility.

Thus Danas could become a full demon and descend into this world.

Such luck, coupled with having a mind far more resourceful than Helimis — or perhaps Helimis couldn’t even compare to his intellect — finding him under such scheming situations and subjugating him is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

If such situations aren’t troublesome, then what is?

Furthermore...

"Others might be just his pawns, but the Transcend Level Great Spirit Body and two heroes awakened by Death Magic should be beside Danas, right?"

All four Transcend Level beings, and all demon-level, not like the Life Goddess and Nature Goddess who are at the bottom of the Transcend Level; with such power, even the renowned strongest Fate Goddess Lidas would be defeated, right?

"To deal with opponents of this magnitude, it’s absolutely impossible without reaching transcendence."

Shane reached this conclusion.

In short, the current situation is becoming more troublesome.

With the growing understanding of the newly emerged [Primordial Demon] and its leader, Danas, this troublesome feeling also grows stronger.

At least, Lidas and Anima have already shown troubled expressions.

Apparently, they are at a loss for now.

What Pan Demnim reported doesn’t count as good news for them.

"Since there’s no stronghold and you don’t know where Danas is, you should have kept a way of contacting him, right?"

Lidas asked Pan Demnim this question.

"Yes, I have kept it."

Pan Demnim did not hide it, admitting it straightforwardly.

Unfortunately, this is not good news either.

"It’s kept, but don’t blame me for not warning you; trying to find him through this lead is impossible," Pan Demnim snorted lightly, "although that young master sent us magical tools for contact, they have limited usage times. Generally, they self-destruct after two or three uses. Even if unused, they will self-destruct over time, and they only respond to specific magic power. Even if you use it, trying to find that young master is nearly impossible."

Hearing Pan Demnim’s words, Shane and the others once again felt Danas’s caution and forethought.

"Does this mean we have nothing to gain?"

Anima couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed.

Lidas’s expression didn’t look good either.

All Pan Demnim brought was bad news, none useful.

Only Shane noticed something.

"You said you, the newly emerged [Primordial Demon], regularly contact Danas, receiving his arrangements and instructions, allowing that young master to assign you to the most suitable tasks and positions, right?"

Shane raised his eyes, fixing them on Pan Demnim.

"So, was the idea to take Lasha and Lilith away yours or that young master’s?"

Shane asked this question.

Pan Demnim seemed to know what Shane was about to ask and fell silent for a moment.

Shane, seeing her silence, thought she didn’t want to talk, and directly placed his hand on Pan Demnim’s head again.

"It’s my own idea!" Pan Demnim shivered all over and quickly shouted, "I wanted to take Lilith away by myself! The Demon King’s Body was just incidental!"

That’s how it was.

The action of taking Lilith away was not something Danass instructed Pan Demnim to do, but an action Pan Demnim took on her own.

After all, Danass had been secretly observing Shane for an unknown period and had witnessed how much Lilith relied on Shane.

Moreover, Lilith had already entrusted her [True Seal] to Shane, becoming a shared destiny existence with him, by both emotions and reason, it was impossible to leave Shane.

Knowing such a thing, how could Danass bother with futile efforts and ask Pan Demnim to reach out to Lilith to take her away?

Therefore, this entire action was Pan Demnim’s idea.

So...

"After the war began, what exactly did Danass actually instruct and arrange for you to do?"

Shane finally asked the crucial question.

Lidas and Anima were immediately drawn, looking towards Pan Demnim.

This question was indeed very important.

If they could know the answer to this question, perhaps they could infer Danass’s next move or his secret arrangements.

This would undoubtedly be very valuable information.

In response, Pan Demnim showed a somewhat indescribable expression.

"What? Don’t want to say again?"

Shane had lost his patience.

"...It’s not that I don’t want to say." Pan Demnim was silent for a while, then said, "But I don’t know how to say it."

"Don’t know how to say it?" Lidas immediately asked, "What does that mean?"

"It means I don’t know what purpose those actions serve either." Pan Demnim said gloomily, "That man only instructed me, when defecting from the Divine Race, to bring the Divine Race’s collection of books to the Human Realm, and after destroying the Temple, to hand all the books over to him."

Hearing this, the three of them couldn’t help but be stunned.

"Books?"

The three of them were somewhat bewildered.

"That’s right, just books." Pan Demnim seemed also somewhat displeased, saying, "Not only that, but that man also asked me, during the period of war outbreak, to bring all the hidden materials and collections of books from the forces destroyed in the Human Realm to the designated place."

For over a month, this was all Pan Demnim had been doing.

"According to what some of the other Evil Gods I’m in contact with have said, what they are doing is similar, either collecting books from various forces or seeking records and ancient books from ruins."

"Even if it’s not books, they would be sent by that young master to find some very ancient things."

"That man was acting as if he was investigating something, to the extent that it gave me the feeling that the war was stirred up deliberately just to provide him opportunities to access precious ancient items hidden by various forces."

"Really, I have no idea what he wants to do."

Pan Demnim’s words left Lidas and Anima looking at each other in disbelief.

"What exactly is that newborn Demon planning?"

"It’s really unsettling..."

The two goddesses showed expressions of unease.

Shane’s eyes flickered.

"Ancient items...?"

Shane murmured quietly.

In his heart, Shane pondered.

(Could it be related to resurrecting the Demon King?)

Thanks to the goddess’s hint, Shane already knew Danass’s ultimate goal.

In order to resurrect the Demon King, it seemed that Danass was still piecing together the necessary conditions.

If that’s the case, could his actions be seen as attempts to gather those so-called conditions?

What exactly are those so-called conditions?

Shane didn’t know.

He only knew that Danass’s actions were definitely not in vain.

Fortunately, Shane already knew there was definitely one necessary condition for reviving the Demon King.

That is...

(The Demon King’s Body must be obtained.)

Only in this way could the Demon King be smoothly resurrected, right?

In other words...

(Recently, I must keep Lasha by my side often.)

Only then can he slightly gain a bit of initiative.

Lidas and Anima, unaware of Shane’s thoughts, asked Pan Demnim a few more questions until there was no more useful information to extract, then took the Evil God away.

Shane also left the Divine Hall and returned to the Beizut Family.
