Chapter 558 - 322: Demon Hive (2-in-1)
How is a day calculated in the Sea of Demons?
The answer lies above in the enormous solitary eye in the dark sky.
The creatures in the Sea of Demons call it—the "Evil Fierce Sun."
This is the sun that belongs to the demons.
When this giant lone eye opens, it spreads twilight and red light over the entire Sea of Demons, containing a vast amount of energy.
Most demons’ powers will also become excited and agitated at this moment, meaning they enter a new cycle of slaughter and conflict.
And when the "Evil Fierce Sun" closes, the "night" belonging to the Sea of Demons arrives.
The power that excites the demons begins to fall silent, replaced by the destruction storm that sweeps over the entire Sea of Demons.
Whoosh—
The terrifying storm, like dozens of frenzied claws, forcefully tears through every place it passes, whether the rocks on the islands or the magma below, nothing can escape its clutches.
Amidst this gray destruction storm, Rogel reached out his hand, his eyes slightly squinting.
"The aura of the Power of Destruction..."
From this "destruction storm," he felt the aura of the Power of Destruction.
Now, his true form has reached the Angel Tier, and to advance further, he must pull down a demigod originally of that path...
According to the information provided by knowledge and wisdom, there are three demigods on the Path of Calamity and Destruction.
Could it be that one of them is in the Sea of Demons?
"A truly terrifying and powerful human lunatic, daring to face the nighttime destruction storm unscathed..."
Prometheus hid in the fortress, watching Rogel remain unmoved amidst the destruction storm, gulping involuntarily.
The "destruction storm" is a natural disaster known to all creatures in the Sea of Demons to avoid from birth.
Thus, even though Prometheus is powerful at the Demon Guardian Level, he would not directly face this terrifying destruction storm at night.
Yet, this human in front of him was utterly unfazed, even grabbing a handful of the destruction storm to play with...
Rogel crushed the destruction storm in his hand and walked into the fortress behind.
Prometheus and Furuya followed behind him left and right, as if Rogel was the original owner of this Demon Fortress...
"Where does this destruction storm come from?"
Rogel inquired.
To this, Prometheus quickly gave a reply, his expression respectful: "It comes from the extreme western end of the Sea of Demons, where there is a strange opening called the Eye of Destruction, which turns violent and releases the destruction storm every time the ’Evil Fierce Sun’ closes."
"The Eye of Destruction..."
Rogel silently noted down this term; perhaps he would need to visit there in the future.
Then, he directed his attention to another point: "So, the symbol of the arrival of the second day in the Sea of Demons is when that eye in the sky opens again, right?"
"Yes." Prometheus nodded hurriedly.
Rogel was in deep thought.
He had just done the calculation.
If this rhythm is followed, a day in the Sea of Demons would equate to about three days in the Main World, which means Rogel still needs to wait nearly a week in this Demon Fortress...
At this thought, Rogel looked at Prometheus with a somewhat unkind gaze.
Prometheus, seeing this, broke out in a cold sweat, unsure how he had offended this big shot.
Fortunately, Rogel soon retracted his gaze.
Prometheus didn’t know the difference between the time in the human world and the Sea of Demons, so he wasn’t lying—no fault for the ignorant.
However, Rogel would have to wait a while longer.
"Well, idle as it is."
After contemplating for a moment, Rogel took out a notebook and a book from his backpack, then looked at Prometheus behind him.
"Now, start telling me from your birth, and answer whatever I ask."
"Understood?"
Rogel pointed his pen at Prometheus.
Since he was already here and had plenty of waiting time, he decided to document the details of the Sea of Demons.
So that later, when the Believers of the Black Tide Secret Society need it, they would at least have a guide instead of walking blindly.
"Also, bring some of your subordinates over; I want to ask them too."
Rogel instructed.
"Understood!"
Prometheus responded loudly, not daring to disobey.
...
In this evil realm of the Sea of Demons, there is more than one method of demon birth.
One is similar to the ordinary reproduction in the Main World, where both parents breed.
Another is cursed birth, such as the demon Qiao Wei that Rogel encountered earlier; this method results in a rare number of demons, mostly exceptions.
Yet another, which is the majority, is the Demon Hive incubation.
The former reproduction method is used by higher ranking pure-blooded demons to ensure the powerful traits are perfectly inherited, thus giving birth to a stronger next generation.
Demons born this way are likely to be stronger and more excellent than the previous generation.
Whereas demons hatched from the "Demon Hive" are purely by luck.
Demons hatched from the Demon Hive can include beast species, elemental species, derivative species, and even deformities and mutations...
In short, it’s a hodgepodge.
So, what exactly is the Demon Hive?
This starts with the terrain and layout of the entire Sea of Demons.
In the Sea of Demons, the colossal magma flow known as the "Mother of Creation" runs continuously from the extreme north to the extreme south, covering most of the entire Sea of Demons.
