The Devil's Evolution Catalog

Chapter 233: Secret (part 2)

So thats how terrifyingly powerful a Devil King is

You said it, nyah.

Other than abject shock, there really wasnt an expression I could think of right now that was appropriate.

Humansoften it was said that ignorance was bliss because one couldnt fear what he didnt know existed. Those so-called supreme beings wouldnt show any interest in you and even if they did, you wouldnt know about it

Compared to those supreme beings, we were nothing but ants and insects. Was there anyone who cared about insects then? The answer was no, and even if they did, it wouldnt involve too much interference either; mostly at the level of a child toying around with ants. Adults rarely messed with insects, barring researchers of course.

Right now, Meisian and I were the insects in the story. Just talking about that being I could see her body shake ever so slightly she was definitely afraid. Yet us popcorn munchers were still blissfully ignorant and were all dying to get an answer. Please?

However, the next sentence she said threw me into the abyss.

Taking into account your words, Ive come to the conclusion that the Prison of the Dead was actually constructed to provide troops for the undead of Gehenna, though its original purpose was to serve as a gaol for criminalsmhm, at least before your arrival, the Prison of the Deads that I knew of allowed a devil to leave once he or she has cleared certain requirements.

About that, so what youre saying is that we might have just done something really crazy?

Thats right, at least to me, its crazy. Meisian shrugged her shoulders before giving me a helpless look: Seems like you unknowingly destroyed one of the supply camps for the undead.

If thats true, arent I in deep sh*t?! I wont die a horrible death, right

Alright, enough talk about these unrelated matters, lets go back to the question at hand. If my hypothesis is correct, that prison you broke out of had connections to that being since it was even linked to the Blood Seawell, at least thats the only possibility I can think of, either way, you need to be careful from now on.

dont scare me like that, my heart cant take it.

At that point, Mo Na flew over and with a confident pat of her chest, reassured me like some kind of tiny adult: Dont worry Mama, Mo Na will protect you.

I havent sunk to that level yet. I wryly smiled before giving her a little pat on the head. Just like always, she then proceeded to wrap herself around my neck before closing her eyes to enjoy my warmth.

Perhaps envious of our father-daughter interaction, a slightly sour Meisian suddenly interjected herself: Ahem, can I continue?

Ah, my bad, go ahead.

I promptly let go of Mo Na and turned my eyes onto the dainty little house cat in front of me, hand placating a noticeably dissatisfied Mo Na.

Because the time of Sable Radiances sealing coincided with the construction of that Prison you were in, Im unable to collect a lot of information. However, thanks to the barely sufficient amount of information you brought back, Im still able to remind you to be careful or else you might die.

I just said not to scare me, can you just tell me the method of entering Abaddon?

Finesince youre so insistent on it, Ill just be magnanimous and tell you just this once

Prepare for troubleand make it doubleto protect the world from devastation

Huhwhat are you talking about?

my bad, you reminded me of someone so I couldnt help but remember something

How about I call you Me*wth from now on, youre as arrogant as those three potatoes from Team R*cket after all. Well, Ill just bear with it for now, not like she will know what the heck is Team R*cket after all.

Is your head screwed on right?

Itsplease continue, this time I promise I wont interrupt you.

Hmph, then this Princess will be magnanimous just this once and continue, youd better remember not to cut in again, got it?

Mhm, mhm.

Very good. Because of that incident ten thousand years ago, Sable Radiance was sealed up from both the outside and insideat least until you appeared and destroyed that quarantine. In a sense, you could say that the being left you all devils a fighting chanceall that talk about the Blood Sea being sealed upthats no joke at all.

You should know, the amount of Devils produced every year by the Blood Sea is a sizable amount even considering the entirety of Purgatory. For such a thing to even happen, that being must have reached some kind of agreement with the undead in which he agreed to change the exitway of Blood Sea to link to the Prison of the Dead. That way, the maximum amount of Devils would end up being processed by the Prison, not to mention those unlucky fellows thrown in by Abaddon and Gehenna

A cold sweat immediately ran down my back.

Crap, I mustve just ruined some kind of realm wide conspiracywell, whats done is doneI wonder if he will forgive me if I say that I know Yi Yistill, I thought I told her not to scare me anymore so whats with this low blow.

You must think that Im prattling on about some unrelated matters, but just think about what I said for a second, especially that last part, that was the MAIN point, the MAIN POINT. Having seen through what I was thinking, probably because it was written all over my face, she made to emphasize the word main twice before finally giving me the answer I wanted.

I think Ive finally figured out how to undo the seal on Sable Radiance.

Huh? So you didnt know before this?

Suddenly, I had this creeping sensation that all those past days were spent for naught, without any guarantee of even getting paid.

At that, her feline face seized up slightly in panic, though only for a split second before it regained its composure. ahem, you must have heard me wrong, what Im trying to say is that I can tell you the answer now.

forget it, as long as the answer is correct, all that doesnt matter. Hmph, Ill be magnanimous here and let you off the hook just this once.

Dont worry, its definitely correct. She confidently threw her little head back and said: In the former palace of Sable Radiance, theres a giant statue of Fallen Angel in the courtyard, roughly 13 meters tall. That statue will give you the answers you seek.

Thats it?

Yup, theres nothing else.

after all that storytelling, all you have to tell us is to go find some statue in a palace?

Oh right, one more thing, that Fallen Angel has six wings, make sure not to mix them up.

this cat, what a scam!

Without waiting for an answer from me, she then drove off in her platform.

Suddenly, I realized that there was another key point I didnt know yet: Hey, you still havent told me wheres this palace is!

Go north, through the territory of the Warhorses and continue further north.

just a direction? How about giving a rough estimate of distance at least!

Its not like Ive been there before, how would I know?

what an irresponsible cat.

Like that, Meisian left while we stood there looking at each other blankly.

Mama, should we leave now? As she said that, Mo Na hugged my arm and gave it a tug: Mama?

Huh?

Seeing me return to my senses, she then repeated the same question again.

Oh, theres no rush for now. I gently rubbed her little head and warmly said: Theres still something we have to care of here.

As she hugged my waist, her eyes glazed over slightly in comfort. Whats that?

The choice of Cat King hasnt been made yet.

Huh? Silent and watching up till this point, Anmi suddenly gasped. Didnt she say that theres no need for that anymore?

You all seemed to have been confused about something, I only care about how to enter Abaddon and not who ascends to the throne. At that point, I gave him a devious grin.

andsince you already know the method, theres no reason for you to stick your head into this matter anymoreright? This time, it was Anmi who had to sweat buckets.
