Great! I'm surrounded by villains!-Chapter 449 - 368: The Demon is Dead

The Wolf Demon Girl’s emotions remained unsettled for a long time, as she found it hard to imagine that a being as great as the Sun King could fall, and his demise was mentioned so casually.

Even from the perspective of an enemy, the Sun King deserved a grand and fierce death.

The seal of the Land of Eternal Night was broken, and the Void Demons once again invaded the plane of reality, where He and His Angel Envoy fought a bloody battle until the very last moment, ultimately dying on the battlefield like a warrior.

The demon that decapitated the Sun King’s Angel Envoy would be honored with merit, and after everything had settled, the demons might even erect a monument for their formidable foe.

But now, the Sun King had fallen.

He died on a planet that had never been heard of, with even His followers unaware, still believing the Sun King would one day return to them.

"Life Energy cannot repair a life that has been completely drained," he had concluded from his extensive explorations.

Therefore, for those whose "souls were scattered to the winds," Duan Mingyuan was also helpless, "Every living being depletes their Energy with each day that passes, until the day they are utterly emptied. The only difference is the time it takes for their depletion."

The Wolf Demon Girl hadn’t yet recovered from the shock of the Sun King’s fall when she suddenly realized another astonishing secret in Duan Mingyuan’s words.

The Sun King had exhausted all His Energy, and even the Void Demons could not escape this cycle.

"Do you mean to say, Master... no, the being that ruled over the Land of Darkness has also fallen?"

"That’s why I changed my mind,"

Duan Mingyuan said.

He had originally thought that his journey to the Land of Eternal Night would inevitably be spent fighting a blood-soaked battle.

An endless army of Void Demons, along with the existence commanding them from behind the scenes, forced him to fight his way to the heart of the Land of Eternal Night for the final confrontation.

But then, he suddenly realized that the true "antagonist Boss" had long since fallen.

Like the Sun King, He too must one day have realized His life was nearing its end. All the hatred for the Sun King and His chosen ones would also stop there.

This too was why Duan Mingyuan finally understood the reason behind the existence of the "Black Mud."

It was a will close to dissipation, exerting its last breath to extend its hatred and obsession—an approach entirely different yet ultimately leading to the same destination as the Sun King.

This was also why the will of the "Black Mud" tried everything to change his understanding and to inculcate a strong will in him.

The throne of the Land of Eternal Night had long been vacant, awaiting a true master, a New King who inherited its obsessions.

He was convinced that the demon who ascended the throne would lead the chosen ones of the Land of Eternal Night in a fierce onslaught upon the plane of reality.

The so-called Prophecy of Destruction was an embodiment of Its will.

"So that means, the Dark Night Witch, she..."

The Wolf Demon Girl’s pupils constricted as she suddenly realized something.

Before Duan Mingyuan arrived at the Land of Eternal Night through the summoning ritual, another human had come here.

The witch’s will and the will inhabiting her body merged perfectly, seemingly the only "seed" projected into the plane of reality that had blossomed fruit.

After arriving in the Land of Eternal Night, the witch did not stop her stride but marched unhesitantly toward the throne.

The throne of the Land of Eternal Night was about to welcome a New King.

The New King would lead the Void Demons back to the plane of reality, plunging the world back into a dark era.

"I will immediately organize manpower to stop—"

The Wolf Demon Girl gradually understood Duan Mingyuan’s intention. As a third-party force, as a carrier of Life Energy, he did not wish for the Void Demons to break the seal of the Land of Eternal Night. This was the reason he had come here in person.

However, a heavy rumble soon interrupted the Wolf Demon Girl.

A stumbling scout brought bad news, "Other high-ranking demon tribes are advancing towards us!"

The scouts were panic-stricken; they seemed unaccustomed to struggling with demons in their new bodies.

The Land of Eternal Night was the domain of the Void Demons. Here, Duan Mingyuan and the Giant Tree were heretics, and the demons would stop at nothing to eliminate them.

"Gather all the manpower under the Giant Tree; this is the gift I am giving you."

Duan Mingyuan said.

The Life Energy contained within the Giant Tree would bless the Wolf Demon Girl and her people. Any demon that approached the Giant Tree would be assimilated by the Life Energy.

From a strategic standpoint, the Monster’s allies would increase, while the number of Void Demons would decrease.

But this was bound to be a war of attrition. The number of Void Demons was countless, and even if they were to be converted one by one, it would be a considerable undertaking, but there wasn’t much time left for him. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

He had refused the summons of the "Black Mud" will, so the throne of the Land of Eternal Night had chosen another Heir.

The Dark Night Witch had already taken a step ahead of him, and the sudden onslaught of Void Demons was a strong backlash from this plane against the heretics.

The Void Demons were about to welcome the coronation of their New King.

It was time to embark on a new journey.

He walked towards the wall of bodies stacked by the demons; the demons gripped their weapons tightly, glaring at him with predatory eyes.

The Giant Tree was the protective umbrella Duan Mingyuan left for the Wolf Demon Girl. The downside was that on the road to the throne, he had to leave some of his Energy behind when facing the New King.

He had made the same choice on the Mechanical Star, but the backlash here was much stronger compared to the newly born will.

The Wolf Demon was quickly retreating towards the Giant Tree; the easily defended but hard-to-attack strongholds were swiftly occupied by the Void Demons.

What awaited Duan Mingyuan at the front were two warlords, each over ten meters tall.

One was horned, wielding a giant axe and resembling some kind of upright walking, massive beast; the other was pieced together from limbs and parts of various creatures, bearing many wounds from past battles, with broken weapons still embedded in its body.

Genesis mentioned that Warlords did not belong to any fixed tribe; they are the embodiment of glory and destructive power.

Every Warlord had climbed to their position over the corpses of their kin, step by step.

Duan Mingyuan stood on the hilltop, and even so, he had to look up to the Warlords blocking his path, while in the darkness beyond, there seemed to be even taller, more ferocious demons.

"Just to be clear, I am a medical staff and not skilled at fighting."

Duan Mingyuan said to the Warlords.

"Oh? Is this a plea for mercy?"

The declaration before battle was met with mockery from the Warlords. In their presence, Duan Mingyuan’s stature was indeed too insignificant, like an insect.

"Just a reminder, in case I don’t control my strength well later on, please bear with me."
