The Devil's Evolution Catalog

Chapter 274: Genesis and the Apocalypse (3)

It was only now that I finally understood the reason behind everything. Lucifer was the main culprit behind the Blood Sea being sealedLucifer, the progenitor of all the devilsthe Fallen Angel known as Satan

It was said that the more you knew, the less you knew; that was exactly how I felt right now. The moment I heard all that the clone of Lucifer had to say, I realized how ignorant I was before. Along with that came a host of unanswered questions.

By now, I was thoroughly dumbstruck. At times, it felt like my lips were flapping but my brain wasnt the one moving it: Why did you seal the Blood Sea?

Because I had a deal with Hades to provide him enough troops for his war. The clone answered with an eagerness most likely borne out of boredom from being alone for so long. That was the only way I could get him to not attack the Western Human Realm.

Youre kiddingthats the reason? Isnt he supposed to be the Devil here, the one trying to destroy the world, why is he trying to protect the humans instead? But then, theres no reason for him to lie to me either. After all, Im just an ant to him; no one would lie to an ant, thats just pointless.

A deal with Hades? To protect the human world?

The instant I said that, I was suddenly struck by the image of a more awe-inspiring, messiah-like Lucifer.

Naturally, that wishful and naive thinking was swiftly struck down by Lucifers next few words.

Protect them? No way, I merely wanted to destroy the world myself.

But if you wanted to destroy the world, does it really matter who does it? The end result is the same.

Haha, its not the same. Some things you just gotta do yourself, someone else might have gotten it wrong.

UhhhI guess thats truekind of like giving birth to a baby The result is technically the same if the purpose is just to procreatebut can a person truly ignore the babys lineage?

But by giving them unlimited access to the Blood Sea, wont that bag of bones just betray you once he has enough troops? Besides, where is he going to expend those troops if not the Western Human Realms?

The fact that Hades needed troops meant that he had an invasion target in mind. Given that the Western Human Realms were off limits, where else did he have then? The Devils? Clearly, that wasnt possible.

Truth be told, Hades and I discovered a new world 80 000 years ago. A world completely different from our own. Back then, we had a hunch that this new world was created by the Creator as well; because the sensation we got off its dimensional barrier was familiar to me. Furthermore, that barrier ended up taking a long time to breach, even for us

Creatornew worlddimensional barrier With so many information being thrown my way in one simple conversation, it truly felt like my brain was starting to fail. Also, a new world? Dont tell me hes referring to Earthafter all, I came here from Earth and Lucifer even mentioned he found a new world. Theres a bible there too, and it even has a record of how the world was created. Chinese legends state that Pangu was the one who split the heavens and Nu Wa was the one who created humansbut thendidnt the legends also say that she used the earth to create humans? Just like the Lordso both of them agree on that point, but who is the real version here and who is the fake? Somehow, things arent looking too good for team Nu Wa.

Thats right, the Creator must have created a new world after leaving ours, going so far as to even strengthen its dimensional barrier with his divine power. He probably predicted that we would come knocking if we ever found it. That barrier was extraordinarily tough but the Creator was mostly like absent by then as well. In other words, over the past 80 000 years, this barrier hasnt had the chance to replenish its energy. While I might have been hibernating for these past 80 000 yearsHades probablywell, I doubt theres much time left for that barrier

So what youre saying is, the undead wont disrupt your plans to destroy the human world since they have a new target?

Thats right, Hades has his own matters to attend to so he wont bother us here.

But what if their invasion progresses too quickly? Wont they end up coming over to destroy the human world? Wouldnt they end up as a burden to you then?

They wont. Our goal is to destroy a world, as long as we each have a target, theres no real reason for either of us to get greedy. At least till the time that both of us destroy a world, what you just said would never happen.

From the way he spoke, I could tell that Lucifer had the utmost confidence that Hades would never betray him, at least up to the point where they both destroyed a world.

Then whats the reason for destroying the human world? For fun? To prove something? Plus, isnt destroying the human world just a simple matter for you, is there a point in going about it in such a roundabout fashion?

Being such a high level divinity, Lucifers thoughts were truly beyond me. Based on what I knew of him so far, he was basically immortal and even his clone had the power to destroy a world. Instead of doing that however, he decided to help the undead and even had them invade another world

What are you? Dumb? Clearly there are people who dont wish for me to destroy this world. I dont want to get into some random fight for no reason at all. Even though the lot of them arent a match for me, if they combine forces, they can be rather annoying.

So what hes saying is that theres a bunch of guardian gods who are protecting the Western Human Realms? Dont tell me its the Archangel Michael or maybe Gabriel

Come to think of it, exactly whose side should I stand on since Im now a devil? Hold on, of course Im standing on the side of the humans. If not for others, then at least for Nicole, Roscar and all the people I know. Based on that alone, I cant fight against the humans. But what can a weakling like me even do against the entire devil race?

Besides, the humans wont believe me eitherjust like what happened when I was summoned to the Western Human Realms All it took was a few words from those bandits and suddenly all the swords were pointed at methough the misunderstanding was resolved in the endbut stillhaving the person you were protecting just a while ago turn on you

I said so before, didnt I? You probably dont even know how the Blood Sea was formed.

exactly how am I supposed to know that

Thats true. I doubt it ever crossed anyones mind that the Blood Sea is actually one of the Creators works.

no way, no matter how you look at it, the Blood Sea cant be linked to the Creator

I bet you dont know that the Creator flooded the world once Even though the clone didnt actually smirk, I could clearly feel the disdain in his words. Because he felt that the entire world was sinful, he flooded the world which he had meticulously crafted. Other than the select few species he chose, everything died in that flood.

Noahs ark? The bible did in fact mention such a thing on Earth. Jehovah felt that the world was too sinful so he found one of the few virtuous humans, Noah, and had him build an ark

You actually know of Noahs Ark?! The clone was shocked that I knew of Noah but thankfully he didnt press that line of questioning. Thats right, other than the clan of Noah and some animals, the entire world was wiped out.

So after the floods subsided, Noah and his clan made landfall and created a home?

No, the floods never subsided. The Creator created a different world and that world was later named the Western Human Realms.

Western Human Realmsisnt that where Nicole is right nowholy potatoes, whats going on with this story? I thought the bible stated that Noah returned to the land once the floodwaters subsidedup to this point, the events in the bible had basically aligned with the events of this world so why was there such a huge discrepancy now? Still, based on what Ive seen thus far, Lucifers words are more likely to be true than the bibles.

After all, even if the bible contained the words of God, humans were, are, a species that loved to take things into their own handsjust like how they purposely misrepresented the strength of Luciferas if his power would diminish just because of a couple of words in a book

For example, even if I said the Earth was flat, would that change anything? Of course not, even if the entire population believed in my alternative facts, the Earth wouldnt suddenly turn flat.
