Chapter 1653 The Devil Mastermind
Chapter 1653 The Devil Mastermind
The Devil Dark Stone might be very enticing, but one would definitely lose interest if they cannot deal substantial damage. Adrian wanted to find the culprit with Ark, Pana and Basil but he is tied with the Hell Beast as of now. If such a monster would be unleashed, then the main world would become incredibly difficult to live in.
[You have dealt 100 damage to the Hell Beast.]
"The damage is still incredibly negated to the point that I rarely get anything." Adrian stated as he fired arrows numerous times, but each arrow only dealt a hundred damage.
A lot of players have started to join the battle as the number of people there are in the hundred thousand already. Adrian also thought that the human wave tactic might be beneficial for this specific enemy. He just needs to make sure that he will not get killed or damaged by any attack from other players or NPCs.
The Hell Beast looked like it was incredibly angered as it was getting attacked by a bunch of flies continuously. It was awakened from its sleep early which resulted in it being weaker compared to its other counterparts that have awakened before. This Hell Beast would have awakened ten more years later as every Hell Beast is monitored by the Devil Nobilities.
Every location where a Hell Beast could spawn is usually monitored by Devil Nobilities since just one can create havoc in their own territories. This particular Hell Beast spawn was unexpected because the time was ten years earlier. A Hell Beast that is properly spawned would be at least level 500 which puts into perspective how powerful the Devil Nobility are.
"Where are the Devil Nobility?" A devil asked in their own native language which the players cannot understand.
"They are still making a pact of non-aggression to make sure that no one will attack their territories. They are also fortifying each of their territories so that no hostile takeover takes place." Another devil stated.
"They said that it would take two days for the pact and three more days for them to move." Another devil stated.
If there is one thing that the devils can unite over other than their hatred for the Goddess of Light Luminaria, then that would be the defeat of a Hell Beast. A Hell Beast also feeds on the energy of the devils which is why they will be weakened even if they can respawn should they get eaten by one. A powerful Hell Beast has also been born back then when the Dragon of Revelation was released but it was the Devil Kings that dealt with it.
The Hell Beast is also tied to the awakening of the Dragon of Revelation. Since the Hell Beast is born from the mana of the Dragon of Revelation, each of them is connected to it and send a part of their power to their creator. The swift defeat of the Hell Beast would be needed in order to make sure that the Dragon of Revelation is sealed forever as per the pact of the Devil Gods.
The pact between the Devil Gods and the other gods was that the former would make sure that the Dragon of Revelation must be sealed. In exchange for the Devil Gods making sure the Dragon of Revelation is sealed, the Devil Gods will be untouchable even to the Gods of Light. In simple terms, there is a non-aggression treaty that is in effect to make sure that the tension between the Devil Gods and the Gods of Light do not result in another war between gods.
This pact is incredibly important to the Devil Gods as it keeps them safe and not always being pestered by other gods. This would have been perfect forever if their embodiments that rule each of the territory had their same mindset. The Devil Nobility which are the embodiment of the Devil Gods have started to rebel against their own self or makers.
Some of the Devil Nobility started plotting to make Hell spawn in the main world or at least be permanently integrated in it. This started when Followers of the Distorted Gods have found a way into Hell without the use of a Hell Gate. The Followers of the Distorted Gods managed to help some of the Devil Nobility Embodiments to actually takeover their Devil God counterpart.
The Devil Nobility that had accepted the power of Distorted Gods have started to rebel to their maker. The first process of that would be the release of the Dragon of Revelation. This was achieved back then but the monster was soon sealed once more due to the cooperation of people.
This time, the Followers of the Distorted Gods are making sure that they will be able to release the Dragon of Revelation by destroying the foundations of Hell itself. What is even more worrying is that the mastermind behind the Hell Beast awakening is actually one of the Dukes of Hell. It is also one of the reasons why reinforcements are late in showing up.
All seventy- two Devil Nobilities must be present when they sign the non-aggression or else no one will move. The other Devil Nobilities that have planned to destroy the foundations of Hell are delaying the signing to make sure that the Devil Beast evolves. They wanted to see how much chaos one Devil Beast Matriarch can do.
The current set-up of Hell is not just a prison for the Dragon of Revelation. Hell, itself is being powered up by the Dragon of Revelation and the realm will destabilize without it. The devils that allied with the Distorted Gods want to know what would happen when such an even were to unfold.
