Chapter 264: Chapter 133: Primordial Demon God The Mother of the Night Sky should be one of the strongest Divine Spirits Duncan has encountered so far.
At this moment, her projected avatar’s strength is comparable to that of the God of Forging, Gwanu, whom he fought against before. Currently, Duncan lacks sufficient understanding of the Demon Gods in this world, and he is not clear about the upper limits of their strength. However, the impression he gets from the Mother of the Night Sky is that she is not much weaker than Odin, the Main God of the Norse Pantheon, at least at the level of Freya.
This female Demon God is quite patient, calmly gazing at the Juvenile Dragon, waiting for his response.
Finally, Duncan slowly said, "What do you want to know?"
The Mother of the Night Sky showed a hint of interest, and the enormous phantom of her projection gradually shrank. The Juvenile Dragon was also placed on the ground, and she transformed into a female elf-like figure, appearing as a casual elven scholar, and said lightly, "Where do you come from?"
Duncan responded, "Middle Earth."
The Mother of the Night Sky’s fingers moved slightly, seemingly casting some spell, and then she asked doubtfully, "Middle Earth? A realm outside this starry sky?"
"Or an unrecorded temporal ruin?"
The Juvenile Dragon raised his head, meeting the gaze of the female Demon God, and slowly said, "I answer one of your questions, and you answer one of mine."
"That would be fair."
A playful chuckle echoed.
Even when the Mother of the Night Sky shrunk, she was still taller than the Juvenile Dragon. She looked down at him and said, "Fair? Alright."
"Ask away."
Duncan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Where is this place?"
The Mother of the Night Sky looked up at the endless starry sky and said slowly, "This is the Lost Horizon. The ruin of time loops."
"One of the worlds abandoned in countless cycles."
Noticing that Duncan seemed confused, the Mother of the Night Sky explained, "This starry sky originated from a divine dream; it has existed through countless loops, with some loops being abandoned annihilation worlds, forming the current Lost Horizon."
"The Creator Divine Spirits do not pay much attention to such Lands of the Forsaken; only we, the Demon Gods, occasionally take note of these abandoned ruins."
I don’t quite understand.
But it seems I’ve grasped a tiny bit.
The world where the second human form is located has an extremely high ceiling because even Creator Divine Spirits exist, and the worlds they created have been in cycles of annihilation. Those incomplete worlds abandoned in the loops, similar to realms of an Annihilation Plane, now make up the Lost Horizon where the second human form is located.
Only the Demon Gods occasionally pay attention to the ruins; the Creator Divine Spirits don’t care about this place.
Duncan thought of the Ouroboros Ring, as well as some concepts similar to the Ring of Time. Generally, worlds existing in cycles would be trapped in a river of time, constantly being born and destroyed, and until the cycle is broken, there will never be a higher future.
The Mother of the Night Sky seemed to have guessed his thoughts. She lightly raised her hand, and a mysterious symbol appeared—a dragon head and serpent tail. First, the dragon head devoured the serpent tail, then time and space changed, becoming the serpent head devouring the dragon tail, continuously cycling, with some ruins’ remnants falling away.
Ultimately forming some incomplete worlds, they are outside the cycle but because of the falling debris growing larger, part of them became the Annihilation Plane, and part became the Lost Land.
These worlds exist outside the cycle, but when a greater cycle begins, they may also face termination.
The beings of the Lost Land know more; they even know about cycles and constantly collect the remnants of cycles, making their Land of the Forsaken a little more comfortable. But the greatest beneficiaries of the cycles are still the Demon Gods, as their Realm of Annihilation is part of the ruins.
Duncan appeared shaken, and after a long moment, he slowly said, "Your turn."
The Mother of the Night Sky seemed very interested in the Juvenile Dragon before her and asked softly, "Is the Otherworldly God you serve and summon a human?"
"It doesn’t seem to be a god, but it is stronger than many Dedra Monarchs."
"Who is it?"
Duncan pondered seriously, organized his words, and said, "It is an Immortal, one of the kings of humans."
"Strictly speaking, it can only be considered a Demigod."
It’s hard to lie to such an entity; she can discern, but Duncan can answer in another way.
Demigod?
The Mother of the Night Sky was slightly puzzled but soon understood, waiting patiently for Duncan’s question, as the Juvenile Dragon obviously had more questions, and her patience was good.
Among the many Demon Gods, most can’t distinguish between good and evil, and the Mother of the Night Sky is one of the few Demon Gods with an evident benevolent element, and also one of the few who consistently maintain a female form. It’s just good fortune for the Juvenile Dragon to meet her since most Demon Gods are as dangerous as Blood Throat-Sosa, whom he had slain earlier.
The beings of the Lost Horizon might borrow the power of Demon Gods, but there are also some realms directly destroyed by them, dragging entire islands and continents into the Annihilation Plane.
Life, souls, continental shelves, and others, are all considered resources.
After all, under this starry sky, even the earth’s veins are formed from the remains of Divine Spirits’ corpses. In the beginning of creation, many Creator Divine Spirits died, and the creators fled the material world in fear, creating a hollow in the starry sky, which is the Light Realm, also where the sun was born.
Duncan contemplated for a moment and said, "Dedra, what exactly is the so-called Demon God?"
He had just slain a Dedra Monarch.
The feeling was that its power was not as great as the God of Forging, Gwanu, probably slightly stronger than the Guardian Fairies.
About the strength of one point five Guardian Fairies.
For such enemies, if the first human form were to unleash its full firepower, it would not be difficult to single-handedly take on three or four of them.
The Mother of the Night Sky said calmly, "Dedra are the primordial divine spirits representing chaos at the beginning of creation, and there are many of them."
"Including myself, I am one of them."
"Because we refused to lend a hand during creation, mortals and gods also call us Dedra Monarchs, Primordial Demon Gods."
This is somewhat difficult to understand.
Duncan could only analyze on his own, feeling they were somewhat like the three thousand demon gods at the dawn of the Eastern creation, likely referring to the primordial divine spirits who did not participate in creation myths.
