Chapter 60 Legend of the Demon
"Sorry, I was just a little delayed."
Shen You, who had transformed back into a ball of light, flew back underground and crawled into the armor—the unmanned armor that had been there when he went out was now holding a palm cannon and looking at the remaining demon spirits.
"We fixed a minor leak, thankfully it's nothing serious," Shen You said casually. "So, where were we?"
The demons were now in a state of shock and turmoil.
After all, they are demonic spirits. Although they stayed obediently underground the whole time and didn't go anywhere, it didn't prevent them from having the means to see the situation in the city above ground.
Therefore, they were well aware of what this powerful figure had just done.
Just kidding, he pushed the flood back with his bare hands, and it only lasted a short while.
And when he came back, he didn't even seem to be out of breath!
What kind of god-level power is this?
In any case, this was something beyond their comprehension in the eyes of these little demons; such power was simply not on the same level as theirs.
So the demons confessed everything, whether they should or shouldn't have.
However, they could only provide limited information about Belial, the mastermind behind it all. They only knew that he was a terrifying demon from a certain dimension, possessing immense power, but that for his true form to come to the mortal realm and exert his abilities, rituals and sacrifices were required.
Aside from these basic background elements, the rest is basically the demons' accusations against the demons' blood and tears.
"It's all his fault!" a demon cried, accusingly. "Beliel is a cruel man. If we do anything to displease him, he'll capture our brothers and eat them!"
"Moreover, he was extremely licentious, always wanting women to serve him, sometimes several at a time!"
"Yes, yes, I especially like girls with slim waists and long legs," a demon added, "and I especially like them if they have husbands!"
Shen You: "."
So this demon is also a traitor, and it's not fun to play with someone else's stuff, right?
However, this setting reminded him somewhat of another well-known demon in the DC universe, a truly terrifying being, who also seemed to be a demon from another dimension attempting to invade reality.
"By the way, I heard he has a really powerful father!" one of the demons said angrily. "I suspected from the beginning that he was just a crony, with no real skills of his own, relying entirely on his awesome father."
"Wait a minute."
Shen You noticed the blind spot.
"His father is very powerful?"
The demons' expressions changed drastically, and they looked at each other in bewilderment.
"That's not a question of whether it's good or bad."
One of the demons, emboldened, whispered.
"He is the ruler of countless worlds, the destroyer of countless dimensions; his very name is a symbol of destruction, the supreme demon of conquest."
"The Three Palaces Demon?" Shen You probed.
The moment that name was uttered, all the demons trembled like leaves, their faces bearing the expression that read, "I solemnly declare that I have nothing to do with the above statement."
Shen You knew he had guessed correctly.
Goodness, it really is true.
Trinity is one of the top-tier demons in the DC multiverse. It is said that he conquered his birth planet when he was one year old, destroyed it when he was six, and ruled his entire dimension when he was thirty. From then on, he embarked on a process of conquering beyond his own dimension and into the multiverse.
However, his methods of conquest are different from those of ordinary ghosts. While traditional human demons are still dutifully engaging in small-scale businesses of swindling, deceiving, and tricking people into signing contracts to sell their souls, Sango has already embarked on a great journey of proving his path with his lower body and slaying through the multiverse with just a gun.
This is no exaggeration. As a multi-dimensional demon, his methods of conquest are quite abstract, somewhat reminiscent of the old-fashioned online novels where a character's cultivation level increases dramatically without any real training, relying solely on physical assault. He can conjure various different appearances to seduce women in different dimensions, and the offspring born to these women will become the conduits through which his true form descends to the corresponding dimension.
Conquering the world through piling, a strong contender for the title of the number one aquaman in the multiverse. If it were a contest of who has ignited more fires, even Zeus, the champion of Olympus piling machines, would have to admit defeat and willingly yield.
The children of the Three Palaces are scattered throughout the multiverse, their strengths varying greatly, some extremely powerful while others are incredibly weak. Some are even stronger than the Three Palaces themselves, while the weakest might not be much stronger than a mortal. While it's hard to say about the real Belial since he hasn't seen him, Shen You doesn't consider his clone a threat. However, if it were the Three Palaces Demon, the problem would be much more serious.
This is unlike a typical planetary crisis; once Sango descends, it will affect an entire single universe. At that time, hiding anywhere in the universe will be useless; if someone is in a bad mood, they can burn the entire universe to ashes.
Shen You pondered for a moment.
"Pal, write down a name for me, and remember to remind me to go back and look for it."
"Rachel Ross. Possibly a magic-based superpowered individual, but the possibility of her not yet demonstrating her abilities cannot be ruled out. She is likely female, and her age is probably between 14 and 19."
Rachel Ross, codenamed Raven, is the most famous of Trigon's children, and the only one whose power level surpasses her father's when she unleashes her full potential. She is a renowned magic-based superhero. In the countless multiverses, whenever Trigon sets his sights on Earth, the portal he uses is almost always hers.
Shen You continued to try to awaken his long-forgotten memories. These memories had been blurred even before he transmigrated, but fortunately, his brain had been upgraded after he was reborn as Ultraman. Even the vaguest impressions from his childhood in his previous life became clear after his life level was sublimated. Therefore, he could recall any DC comic book chapters he had read in his previous life with perfect clarity and with just a little thought.
"It should be a white girl. Oh wait, maybe a black girl too."
Shen You suddenly fell into a deep thought.
His memories were all from the settings he'd read in the comics, but he hadn't touched DC comics for years by the time he transmigrated. He'd only heard from his friends that the pervasive influence of the Black Brothers had seeped into the comics from reality, with a dozen prominent characters, including Justice League members, turning evil—a possibility that couldn't be ignored.
A characteristic of DC Comics is that many powerful characters have their own weaknesses. For example, Superman is weak to Kryptonite, Martian Manhunter is weak to fire, and Sangoku Mako is weak to doors.
Throughout history, Sannomiya has been defeated nine times out of ten because his portal collapsed. So, no matter what, we must find Raven first and start by considering how to prevent future problems and nip the threat of Sannomiya in the bud. Well, it should be said that we should nip it behind the door.
"Um...we really have nothing left to explain," a demon said weakly. "Could you please, please, show some mercy?"
Shen You came to his senses.
"Oh, I was just thinking about something. Okay, let's continue. Is this all the demons here? They've all gathered here?"
The demons looked around at each other.
A moment later, a demon spirit said, "Hmm, Amenhote isn't here. He's infiltrated a human organization called something like 'The Eye of Heaven'."
"By the way, I heard those humans are still eyeing you! Of course, that's just wishful thinking."
"Speaking of which, they seem to have been quite troubled by some extraterrestrial visitor lately," one of the demons said. "Amenhot mentioned an alien that flies very fast, is incredibly strong, and can shoot lasers from its eyes."
"Um?"
Shen You narrowed his eyes.
Tell me more about that alien.
