Chapter 986 - Chapter 986 985 Chapters The First Torch

Chapter 986: 985 Chapters: The First Torch Chapter 986: 985 Chapters: The First Torch Although Han Dong regarded these four “Dark Denizens” as Tools to be utilized, he had no intention of sending them to their deaths.

Given the Dark Denizens’ stealth capabilities and the squad’s strong execution ability,

Han Dong instructed that, once the War progressed to the Nine Pillar Gods Company, they would then stealthily infiltrate the pyramid to handle a not-so-dangerous task.

After all,

the intelligence on “London City” was too important, Han Dong would wait until after the War concluded, then under the guise of awarding them, he would inquire about matters related to London City.

“This building shrouded in darkness is quite nice. I will order my subordinates not to interfere with your rest… You can wait here for my action notice.”

“Yes, my Lord.”

Since they had recognized Han Dong’s identity,

the Dark Denizens no longer disguised themselves and removed their hoods, revealing their faces.

Demons that step into the “Fate Space” invariably blend human traits… All four “Dark Denizens” had faces that closely resembled humans.

Strangely enough, they were all women.

Their skin emitted a black luminescence, with only their pupils being white.

Their appearance was similar to dark elves found in some fantasy works.

Their ears were quite peculiar, with the earlobes resembling Tentacles, leading to a small flesh sphere emitting dark light, seemingly their energy reservoirs.

“Farewell, Lord!”

The four, their bodies glowing with black luminescence, akin to dark elves, gathered together and waved goodbye to Han Dong.

Don’t be fooled by their looks; each of them possessed strength close to a Count and could even unleash combined attacks, making them tricky opponents.

“I had thought that the Dark Denizens were a group of deformed beings who had long dwelt in darkness, aging severely, with sagging skin and black fluid flowing through their bodies… I never expected them to be such cute, dark-skinned Misses.

However, this also has to do with their possession of human genes…”

Having taken care of this matter in advance,

Han Dong was not in a hurry to return to the beast fight arena. He planned to let the High Priest, Miss Jane, rest a bit longer… He chose to walk back with Maritzis, which would be a good opportunity to discuss knowledge about “Demons.”

Before Han Dong could ask,

soft and moist flesh eagerly pressed against him.

After the incident with the Dark Denizens mistaking Han Dong as The King, Maritzis’s interest in Han Dong had reached a deeper level.

“I’ve been suspecting since the beginning that you had connections with the ‘Chaos Walker.’

I’ve decided… if you’re going to London, I will follow you.

I hope that once you claim the position of the Pharaoh, you’ll be able to find items of enough value to give to the Toad Ancestor, making it easier for me to accompany you.”

“That would be great.” With this kind of recharge… With the Ancestor Body joining in, Han Dong was naturally very happy.

“By the way, Lord Maritzis.

I have mainly lived and grown up in the Holy City as a human, so I’m not very clear about some of the rules or hierarchical distinctions in the Demon World.

From the hints given by those few Dark Denizens,

their principal allegiance is to that Upper Old King associated with Grey matter, but they also live in London City, ruled by the ‘Mother.'”

According to the Knight Regiment’s intelligence, this ‘Mother’ should be a Lower-class Old King who controls darkness.

“How can Demons simultaneously worship two Old Kings?”

“Haha, you really don’t know anything… Although they are all categorized as ‘Old Kings,’

the Upper, Middle, and Lower rankings are just convenient definitions to understand The King… The differences between them are still quite significant. Perhaps there are some humans who understand this too, but they just haven’t said it out loud.

After all.

Once it comes out, it could cause panic across all of humanity.

“Even if humans were given five hundred years to develop, they might not be able to reach the higher beings…”

“Hmm…”

Ever since Han Dong had seen The King in Perugia City, he had realized this point, and to some extent even doubted whether The Big Expedition had any meaning.

Maritzis continued, “Higher beings are beyond our imagination, beyond our reach.

Who has ever said that a King’s subordinate can’t become a King themselves?

As long as one meets ‘certain standards,’ one can write their name on the face of a certain door.”

Han Dong was startled, “Are you saying the Lower-class Old King who governs London City is also a follower of the Chaos Walkers?”

“Hmm, to be precise, she was once a follower.

But when she completed her ascent to kingship, she completely broke free from control and formed her own faction.

The establishment of Dark London was her independent act of becoming a King.

However, she still maintains contact with the ‘Chaos Walkers,’ and even as a collateral branch, she continues the customs of her past tributes… It’s rumored that this Old King of London City has some peculiar habits, so be careful when the time comes.

‘Becoming a King’

For me, it’s still far too distant, and the difficulty of becoming a King is much higher than that of reaching the divine. It’s better to take it slowly.”

Listening to such a vast range of statements, Han Dong might have been very shocked in the past.

But after seeing a Grey Old King, after seeing the whole picture of the Black Tower World, Han Dong merely smiled.

There’s nothing to be surprised about; the larger the world, the less visible the boundaries, and the more fascinated Han Dong becomes… The current node of ‘Prometheus’ is an important step for him to explore the truth of the world.

“Miss Mary, would you like to come and see a broader world with me?”

“Ha ha… That depends on whether you have the ability to take me away from Toad Ancestor.”

…

[Node War – The Tenth Hour]

In the southern part of the [Civilian Area], with the Beast Fight Organization at its center, a revolt with the aim of “overthrowing the slave system and establishing a new dynasty” began, led by two renowned High Priests.

The majority of slaves, oppressed by the slave system and situated in the middle and lower classes, immediately responded to the call.

Moreover, Han Dong had the High Priests publicly declare that the Pharaoh had completely abandoned the [Civilian Area] and in previous attempts to retake it, had repeatedly used civilians as bait, viewing slaves only as Tools rather than as lives.

At the same time.

Han Dong, as an invader, represented himself as the image of a rebellion leader.

He presented his own experience of climbing the ranks step by step in the beast fight arena as a lower-level slave and delivered speeches in multiple dense areas within the [Civilian Area].

Without adding a hint of Mad Laugh influence, relying solely on personal experience to stir up the dissatisfaction and hatred towards the slave system deep in the hearts of the civilians.

However, there was one more crucial point.

The [Townsmen], who had been preemptively placed in the obscure corners of the [Civilian Area], had already begun a secret cleansing plan.

To secretly deal with all in the [Civilian Area] that were closely related to the pyramid power structure, to prevent them from causing trouble during the uprising… Of course, those power holders who also harbored thoughts of rebellion were naturally spared.

And so.

The ‘first spark’ of the rebellion was ignited in the beast fight arena and due to the limitations of the slave system, with the efforts of the High Priests and Han Dong, they finally managed to spread the flames throughout the entire [Civilian Area].

As a result, Han Dong’s forces further expanded and had already met one of the requirements for winning the Node War, having completely encircled the Pharaoh’s power.

The Node War was approaching its most important, and indeed, its most brutal stage.

With just one command from Han Dong, the army would press into Ring One and a head-on conflict with the Nine Pillar Gods company would erupt…
