Chapter 552 The Concern Of The Gods
Chapter 552 The Concern Of The Gods
-----
The Demon King, a threat that is born within a certain time frame since the previous one dies. The first one to have ever existed was a monstrous titan that rivaled Gods created by the World's Will. It fought against the Gods and forced them to escape into Heaven, while they summoned the First Hero and the First Saint, which were powerful beings with incredible power said to have been directly created by the Gods. They slain the First Demon King and then the Demon King's corpse became the Demon Continent.
Since that moment in the long past that Demons and Monsters began pouring from there, filling the world. The Demons formed countless tribes and Monster terrorized both Demons and other tribes anyways, becoming a real threat rather than Demons, whose cultures and intelligence made them have varied countries with different viewpoints.
Maybe if no Demon King was born since then, life might had been more peaceful, but that wasn't the case. After a few hundreds of years since the first one died and everything else… or maybe thousands of years, or even millions of years, something happened. A Demon was born with a Title, Demon King.
This Demon King was said to have inherited a part of the first Demon King's power and was given the task by the World to conquer it and kill all humans… and other related races. Or something like that, I can't really recall how it was.
This means that a new Demon King has been born, someone, a demon child within the demon continent, has been granted this Title… Somehow. I don't even know how they're given Titles or something, but that's that.
"A new Demon King was born?" I asked. "So you want us to kill it?"
"Well, not now, but yes that's the mission you have." Theia said.
"All Heroes must go against the Demon King and slay him." Said Cronus.
"I don't want to. Aquarina, you want to?" I asked Aquarina.
"No…" Aquarina answered.
"We don't want to." I answered the Gods with a bright smile.
"W-Well, maybe you can at least let us explain a bit more…" Theia quickly tried to calm down the tension. "Strangely enough, the Demon King was born almost at the same year as you did, Sylphy. His powers are also like nothing we had ever seen before, and it is said he might be the strongest so far."
"He has the power of Summoning Monsters and Manipulating them. He can also enhance their power, and more… Or so says the report we've gotten from an insider, a Demigod sent to spy on him from the heavens of the Demon Continent." Said Cronus.
"He has strange and bizarre powers we had not seen before ever. They're like magic, but work instantly, and grow stronger the more he repeatedly uses them. He can also keep growing stronger by slaying monsters and humans, and by repeatedly doing actions. He has even been seen to Materialize Objects, such as Magic Weapons, Armor, Potions, and Magic Books that can instantly grant his servants Magical Powers they didn't possessed before, even if their affinity is not appropriate for them." Said Hyperion. "He's an incredibly talented demon with endless potential… He might be the greatest threat we'll face since the first Demon."
Wait, that description… Kind of reminds me of something. Isn't this power similar to… the System? Ugh, I don't really want to imagine it but… it is a possibility.
"That is why we brought you here, to tell you about his existence. You may share it with your parents as well." Said Theia. "Now, the real request I want to give the both of you is to assemble the heroes. It is necessary for all of the heroes to be together for their true power to flourish. Divine protections are made so they power up each other when their users are together."
"And would you look at that! Just in the continent where you two girls are, there's a few of them! The nearest heroes are perhaps the most important as well the Saint of Spirits and the Hero of Wild Beasts." Hyperion said.
"The Saint is the pillar of the hero's group; her healing powers and buffing abilities are what will make everyone flourish in battle. She's someone essential you must quickly meet." Said Tethys.
"Aquarina, I am entrusting this mission to you as well." Said Oceanus.
"Eh? What? But…" Aquarina seemed reluctant.
"So you want us to kill someone we don't want to kill and find people we are not interested in finding and somehow force them to just stick with us? We are only 13 you know?" I sighed.
"The younger you begin your journey and growth progress the best the results in the future." Cronus said. "We are not forcing you to do anything right now but keep this request in mind as you live your life. Eventually you will have to fulfill your destiny."
"Also, the Saint of Spirits and the Hero of Wild Beasts are going through difficulties. If you can meet with them and… help them in their endeavors, it would be appreciated." Theia said. "They're brimming with potential and power, but their lives are quite bad. They're going through difficulties."
"Ugh… I feel like you're abusing my goodwill. Now I feel kind of… forced to help these people. they're also victims like us, from your tyranny!" I said angrily.
"Ahahaha… A-Anyways, they're in the Wilderness Territory of the Atlanta Continent. I've created a special Ability that will let you find the Heroes around the world within your Divine Protection." Said Theia, as a flash of bright golden light reached my soul.
FLASH!
"Hmmm… Thanks I guess." I sighed. "I still haven't said anything about doing it though! So don't expect me to move mountains and rivers to find some random dude or lass."
"We understand." Theia nodded.
"We know you'll do it, you're a good girl." Said Oceanus.
Ugh these bastards are the worst! I hate people that take advantage of other's goodwill! But at the same time, I feel bad for these future heroes, they were all cursed by these monsters in god clothing.
Also Themis is still giving me a deathly glare. Will she ever stop?!
