Chapter 1655: Chapter 7: Battlefield Enlightenment
Darkness, absolute pitch black. Whether it’s the eyes, ears, skin, or even the soul and spirit are crushed, obliterated, shaken, without even the slightest ability to perceive.
This is the near-death terror that those with strong regenerative abilities, who are nearly impossible to kill, occasionally encounter — they are completely annihilated. They cannot even discern whether they are dead or alive, leaving only a futile mind struggling in self-awareness.
If this is what undying means, where even oblivion is denied, then this undying is more terrifying than the eternal rest after death; it is simply a futile existence, a futile life.
And this futility… is the divine power offered to the Demon Lord.
Likewise, in the face of such unkillable enemies who recover from this near-death horror, those who killed them must feel the same futility, bringing power to the Demon Lord as well.
The former, even as evil demons, fear the absolute solitude and futility that is only themselves, thus they go mad in defeating opponents, even envying those mortal foes who can enjoy true rest after death.
Jealous, they will vow to bring such futility, such oppression, such fear, and solitude to all living beings.
“Am I dead?”
“Am I not dead yet?”
“Why am I not dead! Let me die! No, I want to live, ah! Why must I encounter such a circumstance!”
But in such absolute pitch-black solitude, amidst extreme fear, Fata Bi heard a voice.
“… Next, I have some questions for you to answer.”
I ask, you answer.
An irrefutable will, like the edge of a sword, forcibly intruded into the world of darkness.
Like a flash of lightning cutting through, this will was so resolutely brilliant, raising the sharpness of a sword’s edge in the darkness.
Irrefutable, yet it would provoke refusal; if one had a sufficiently strong mind, one might resist this compelling force, but perhaps that was the opponent’s purpose too… However, Fata Bi did not have such enlightenment, at this moment, it only felt from the pressure of this will a kind of…
A kind of profound demonic nature.
It was as if seeing the Demon Lord in a dream, that kind of fear, subconsciously wanting to yield because it was its destiny, could only obey, allowing no refusal.
“Ask away, I’ll answer…”
In the darkness, Fata Bi answered dejectedly, its eyes began regenerating, photoreceptive cells appeared, starting to grow eyeballs and other compound eye observing ports across the body; it vaguely saw the being clenching its broken body in a platinum armored grip, the fingers clawed with divine steel, sharp structures emanating from arms, elbows, knees, and helmets, sword light flowing.
“Hmm.”
And that being in platinum armor nodded slightly and said: “It looks lively seeing you all fighting, what’s your purpose? From what I know, it’s rare for Heavenly Demons to be so high-profile, surely there’s some scheme behind it.”
“?”
Fata Bi was stunned; it didn’t expect these words from the being in platinum armor — what does this mean? Wasn’t the opponent part of the Desolate Alliance or the Three Realms Alliance? Their purposes are already evident; they aim to weaken the Desolate Alliance, seize the Dragon Remains Battleship, then breach the Chonggen Great Wall, extinguish the Heavenly Abyss Candle Fire, and awaken the Demon Lord, no?
Is this even a question? What fighters and demons in this battlefield are unaware of this?
With such confusion, Fata Bi honestly answered the question from the platinum-armored being, who nodded: “I see. But what I mean is, how do you plan to achieve it? It’s impossible for you to rely only on the frontal battlefield; evil demons are merely deteriorated Heavenly Demons, but essentially the same, they can’t possibly be this simple.”
“How are evil demons deteriorated Heavenly Demons?!”
The being in platinum armor hadn’t anticipated that a single remark would provoke a reaction from Fata Bi, who had already admitted resistance was futile and surrendered. The partially regenerated evil demon struggled intensely, but the platinum-armored being remained as stable as a rock, halting the struggle.
Yet even then, it was extremely furious and said: “Evil demons are not deteriorated, we evil demons are Heavenly Demons!”
“Yes, yes, evil demons are not deteriorated.”
The disposition of the being in platinum armor seemed agreeable, casually echoing Fata Bi’s words then saying: “So the real purpose, please answer? Seeing how brave you are, not even fearing death, surely you wouldn’t fear telling me this?”
“What is so difficult about this?”
Fata Bi was truly unafraid of death at this moment, though it still wanted to live, what chance was there for struggle by now? Moreover, their real aims and schemes are overt and righteous, so without hesitation, it said: “Although it looks like our side is focusing on the frontal battlefield while deliberately splitting forces across five others to deprive the Desolate Alliance of reinforcements and help us seize the Dragon Remains Battleship, essentially, it’s all just exploiting the Desolate Alliance to the utmost.”
“At this moment, our hidden agents within the Desolate Alliance will also act, and your three tribes’ traitors will officially rebel, thoroughly shattering the Desolate Alliance’s command — haha, the Dragon Remains Battleship is indeed significant, but compared to completely destroying your Desolate Alliance’s core command, it’s trivial!”
With these words, Fata Bi, using the Sound Amplification Technique, intentionally raised its voice, resonating across the entire battlefield, momentarily leading many still-fighting evil demons and cultivators to be stunned, causing joy and fear to arise in their hearts.
