Chapter 814 Ruler Lawrend

Chapter 814 Ruler Lawrend

Lawrend couldn't deny that the demons could improve with the book he had just given them. They didn't need him by the end of it.

"I still deserve the credit, right? Besides, you need someone that can react to changes and give out an order without the need for each of you to argue with each other," Lawrend answered.

He was confident that they would agree. The very reason they didn't go through to killing him was that he was strong and was of use to them. He was like a light of hope on a foggy night.

He could help lead them to a great height that they wouldn't have been able to in the past.

The group of Heaven Demons looked at each other. It was slightly frustrating that they couldn't deny his words. He had killed a few of their Heaven Demons.

Thus, a replacement for their missing strength was required.

As for revenge? They didn't care that much about the other Heaven Demons. They cared more for the demon race as a whole.

On a personal level, they all competed with each other. They would protect each other, but they weren't obliged to avenge their deaths.

Especially when it comes to someone like Lawrend, it was basically teasing death to avenge the death of Polka and Gilgamesh. In their minds, it was better to befriend Lawrend and possibly have him impregnate one of them by the end of his life.

"We need a token of goodwill," Sanaka said.

Lawrend smirked as he realized they agreed to his changes. He took out nine pieces of parchment paper and wrote on them.

He outlined his suggestions for their magic and gave them tips on how to improve. He tailored it personally to each of them.

He flicked his hand, and the parchment papers landed in their hands.

When they saw the contents, they couldn't help but be impressed and stunned. He outlined their weaknesses and shortfallings. It was as if he personally understood the magic in their bodies.

Shivers ran down their spines. They didn't show it on their faces, but fear filled their hearts. This parchment paper wasn't just a simple show of goodwill.

It was also a show of power. Lawrend demonstrated to them what he was capable of. If they decided to violate the truce, they would die without knowing what came before them.

Sanaka initiated a private conversation with the other Heaven Demons for a few minutes.

She took a deep breath and opened her mouth, "We understand. We will do as you have outlined in this book. The demon world will rely on you in the future."

It was an easy decision for them now that they knew more about Lawrend's capabilities. None of them were against letting him rule the demon world as long as it was for the betterment of the demon race.

…

Lawrend officially claimed the throne as the apex ruler of the demon world. The nine Heaven Demons arranged for a ceremony two days later.

It was a speedy change. The whole demon world hadn't received the news yet, but Lawrend was already the ruler.

The ceremony was simple. It was just the nine Heaven Demons paying their respects and swearing that they would follow Lawrend's orders as long as it was for the demon race.

Lawrend naturally took the ceremony casually. He nodded his head at the groups behind the nine Heaven Demons and the ceremony was finished.

For many demons, it was hard to fathom Lawrend's strength to be able to change the minds of all of the Heaven Demons. The fact that they all wholly supported him was a big surprise to many.

Many were dissatisfied, but the Heaven Demons foresaw that and sent out explanations and words of guarantee from each of them to assure the masses. The demons trusted the judgment of their Heaven Demons more than Lawrend.

"Let me see the portal," Lawrend said.

Sanaka nodded her head and led the way. The two of them flew down from the center of the Demon Pillars and entered through a circular opening in the ground.

Lawrend felt a rush of demonic mana and faint traces of human mana passing through this hole. The traces were so minuscule they would be as good as gone once they reached outside.

If it were a tiny bit more, he would've been able to sense them.

"What is here?" Lawrend asked her.

"This place has the remains of an ancient civilization more advanced than us. They left us an inheritance that we were able to use to control the portals connecting the demon world and the human world.

"There were also other technologies, but we were never able to decipher their use. Many of those ended up destroyed as we tore them apart to study."

Lawrend knew about the fact that there was technology here from a past civilization. What he didn't expect was that there were more that ended up being lost.

"Such a shame."

"It was, but we had no choice. There were no texts left behind. Only technology."

Lawrend nodded his head in agreement. It was like what he did when he was a kid. He would tear apart his toys to understand their inner workings.

It would result in his toy being destroyed without the capability to put it back together.

They reached very deep and the light above their head turned into a single dot just like a singular star. The earth around them started releasing a faint amount of heat the deeper they went.

A whole expansive area appeared before them. A giant circular portal was laid on the ground. It was as big as a lake with ripples appearing everywhere.

A hundred thousand armies of demons stood on standby. Groups of them flew up and pushed back the angels that came out of the portal. They would then swap with each other to recover their energy.

A massive amount of mana flowed through giant crevices around the portal. These connections disappeared into the walls and were connected to who knows where.
