Don't confiscate my identity as a human race

Chapter 656 - 607: Lanci and Hyperion’s Past Memories

The film showed a hall, with crisscrossing beams of light pouring down from the wall lamps, illuminating the palace decorated in the style of the Demon World.

Row after row of fan-shaped seats spread out from low to high, forming a spacious semicircular seating arrangement.

Even without exchanging words, both Hyperion and Lanci recognized the scene appearing on the screen—it was the Regency Hall of the Demon King Palace in Naikarisu.

Many Demon Race nobles were gathered there, as well as a delegation from the Blood Clan. The scene was very similar to the day Lanci and Hyperion chose paintings in the Shadow World, the only difference being that the throne was empty, with no sign of the princess.

The atmosphere in the entire Regency Hall seemed to be tense, as what had been a harmonious negotiation between the Blood Clan and the Demon Race took a sudden and steep downturn.

Because at the moment the gathering commenced, Eduado, the Fourth Ancestor, had his eyes emit a blinding red light from the platform opposite the throne, his body cracked and emitted an alarming blood-colored magic power.

With terrifying magic power consolidating in an instant, amid the tumultuous noise, all Demons became aware of what was happening.

The Fourth Ancestor, Eduado, was about to use an unknown mandatory Self-Destructive Spell at a moment when the Great Demon Clan was assembled!

In the Regency Hall, Mist Sir and Lord Raeming, the two generals, were the first to act towards the direction of the Fourth Ancestor.

Their eyes were angry and grave, not understanding why the Fourth Ancestor possessed a power suspiciously similar to that of the Sixth Ancestor and, after triggering it, lost all control!

Subsequently, Eduado’s body swelled, the blood-colored light growing brighter and brighter as cracks like a spider’s web spread across his skin. In an instant, it nearly reached its limit, and his mouth, emitting a blood mist, roared deafeningly.

Even separated by the screen, Hyperion shrank her head in fear, for this scene in real history was far more thrilling than what she had experienced at the Naikarisu Royal City.

At least in the Shadow World, the Fallen Lord had made preparations to act; in this instance, the Fourth Ancestor Eduado had almost unleashed the Sixth Ancestor’s power, Blood Destruction, without a word.

Eduado was about to become a vast red light, carrying with him endless rage and destructive force, aiming to spread to every corner of Naikarisu’s Royal City.

"Stop, Eduado!!"

Accompanied by the angry shout of Fallen Lord Calila, she finally caught up and unleashed the Falling Hometown without holding back.

Invisible waves of magic power suddenly swept through the space of the Regency Hall, preventing the fervent red light from bursting further and allowing Eduado to continue.

The entire space-time of Naikarisu’s Regency Hall appeared to stand still.

All the figures of the Demon Race and Blood Clan stood motionless, as if turned to stone.

Seeing this, both Lanci and Hyperion now knew what day Calila was recording.

"Even without the princess’s selection ceremony, did the Blood Clan still plan to bring a weakened Fourth Ancestor Eduado to destroy the core of the Demon King Castle?"

Lanci shook his head helplessly.

Marquis Ulysses asked with his usual composure.

This was a game of wits.

For Calila, to choose the former meant all members of the Great Demon Clan would die, but by choosing the latter, at least she had a chance to survive.

"Let’s see if you can break the barrier faster or if any Great Demon Clan members wake up first."

Calila bowed her head, her hand back trembling slightly, as she tried her best to keep her voice steady.

She knew that Tenth Progenitor Ulysses was trying to shake her resolve, to make her give up the possibility "that a Demon Race member would wake up before he arrived."

"Oh dear, such a stubborn female demon."

Ulysses commented helplessly about Calila.

With a sense of resignation, he looked towards the left side of the seating area, where a small Wolf Demon was seated.

Initially, his plan was to have the Fourth Progenitor, Eduado, successfully self-destruct.

But now, he had changed his mind—if possible, he would take the poorly disguised Wolf Girl pretending to be a demon away first.

She possessed a most exceptional bloodline, and starting with her, breeding a slave Wolf Clan would be an excellent strategic move for their Blood Clan.

Outside the Shadow Painting.

"Who can help Calila?"

Hyperion mumbled anxiously.

She had noticed that the little Wolf Girl whom the Tenth Progenitor Ulysses had set his sights on was none other than her Siegler.

In the true history, with no Princess of Demon Clan left for the Blood Clan to abduct, Siegler became the Blood Clan’s next hunting target!

Suddenly, Hyperion spotted a familiar yet unfamiliar figure among the Demon Race seating within the image, right next to Siegler.

It made her eyes widen.

It was a Radiant Demon.

His antlers, like white jade exoskeletons, were covered in cracks, dulled and lusterless.

Different from Lanci, his hair was white and tied in a messy fashion over his shoulder.

He was looking down, as if deeply immersed in a dream, unable to wake up.
