Chapter 706 – The Evil Duo’s Cruel Slaughter 3
Eva was on a killing spree. She did not care about the who, where, and why. As soon as a Demon entered her field of vision, it would be lanced to death, forever depriving the world origin of the Hell Realm of this little bit of Demonic Origin Energy that could be used to create more Demons.
Eva cleared entire Demonic villages this way, taking down Demons that ranged from the Private rank to the Captain rank. One should note that inside the Tower’s universe for floors 31-40, the Demon Race had completely different rankings compared to the Main Plane.
Outside the Tower. Rank 0 would be Infant Demon, though once they grew up they officially started as Rank 1 Inferior Demons and would evolve into Rank 2 Low Demons, Rank 3 Mid Demons, Rank 4 High Demons, Rank 5 Elite Demons, Rank 6 Demon Commanders, and finally, Rank 7 Demon Generals.
Obviously, that was only in regards to their Combat Ranks. As we were well aware, Combat Ranks were just one way to quantify an individual’s power in the Western Fantasy section of Boundless.
The other half was their State of Being, which was something that could be either linked to their bloodline’s growth ability, or linked to their progress in refining their existences through different means.
So for the Demon ranks based on bloodline/State of Being, there were Commoner, True, Lord, Emperor, Supreme,God, Progenitor. These equated to the Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Divine and Origin Ranks respectively.
The above mentioned were for the Main Plane. There, Draco’s Demon God status only equated the Divine stage, unlike here, where it equated the Origin Rank.
First of all, there were no Combat Ranks in this universe, only cultivation, so Demons were simply named after their cultivation rank.
However, this universe had its State of Being rankings as well, which were – for the Demons – starting at the Demon Private, the Demon Sergeant, the Demon Captain, the Demon Lord, the Demon Commander, the Demon King and the Demon God. These equated the Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Divine and Origin Ranks.
So Eva was effectively killing all Demon Privates/Sergeants/Captains en masse, slaughtering them like animals, because they lived like animals.
In truth, Eva hated them!
Now let’s explain a bit more about the Hell Realm’s layout.
Infrastructure wasn’t really a thing there, so there were no roads or the like. Most of the land had been left untamed and wild, which was why Demonic beasts that fought and killed each other for the slightest scraps existed.
Eva killed these too, of course.
Next up were Demon outposts. These were military camps where Demon Privates to Demon Captains resided, with Demon Captains at the top of the hierarchy in this local setting.
Each Demon outpost had at least 1 Demon Captain, around 50 Demon Sergeants and 2000 Demon Privates.
Each outpost was affiliated with one Demon village.
This was where the captured lifeforms from other realms would be kept, the males as slaves for building new outposts and general labor, while the females were used as sexual relief or breeding pens.
Each outpost had one village, and they could only put those in that they captured personally, so that the superiors could keep track of the outsiders. Most of them spawned half-Demons from the endless rape and sexual abuse, who, when they reached a ripe age, would be tossed into war as cannon fodder.
Above the outpost was the Demon town.
This was a local provincial hub that controlled the lands around it and acted as the center for the scattered Demon Outposts and villages in the area.
The ‘mayor’ or lord of the Demon town was always at the Demon Lord Rank. They had reached the point of not being able to be ordered around to take part in wars, so they lived luxuriously in these towns built and maintained off the sweat of the back of the three lower Demon Ranks.
The towns had marketplaces containing wares from all the human and other realms, including all kinds of special cultivation resources, armaments and trinkets, as well as methods.
Most were useless to Demons as they had their own way of advancing, but hehe, who said only Demons existed in the towns? Of course, those with sufficient power could take a trip here to do some sightseeing or buying.
Above a certain Cultivation Rank, namely Soul Formation, Demons would no longer seek trouble if you came here to shop, after all, they were not stupid, they too needed to acquire resources and trade was a good way.
They dumped away the useless spoils from their conquest and got things produced in the other Realms that were useful to them. Who wouldn’t promote such a perfect deal?
As for Nascent Soul and below fellows, you’d better come with your senior at the Soul Formation. If you are found without one, no one would stop you, but expect to disappear one fine day.
Above Demon towns were obviously Demon cities.
These were Demon only locales for the various towns in a region to report upwards to. These were managed by Demon Commanders, like that bloke out there who had gotten his teeth knocked in by Qiong Qi. They served as living places for upper class Demons. Going into detail about its setting would be digging too deep, so suffice to say that they do exist.
Above the Demon Cities were Demon Kingdoms ruled by Demon Kings, and as far as everything went, that was the highest tier of territory.
As we saw from Draco’s separation, the Demon Gods stayed in their own unique locale at the center of the world, not interfering in the matters of the realm, but doing something believed to be grander.
Now that we know the structure of the Hell Realm, we can properly appreciate its destruction.
Eva stood on Luxia’s back after Draco broke off, expanding her Void of Perfection wide. It reached hundreds of thousands of kilometers out, capturing many outposts, villages and even a few towns in her range.
With a flick of her fingers, Eva released and endless stream of light beams that curled around the atmosphere, rushing in zigzagging motions as they struck down on every single Demon identified by her.
It didn’t matter how far they were, as her beams moved at the speed of light. Once they had a target, they would get there and strike precisely for sure.
It didn’t matter how you tried to conceal yourself or hide, with her Tier 5 Void of Perfection that could even peak into the Quantum realm a bit, you could not escape.
It didn’t matter how you tried to dodge, her VoP was like a homing beacon. Once you were in range, it was impossible for her to miss, since she could control her attacks remotely as well.
It didn’t matter how you tried to block the attack or retaliate, for the power of Eva’s strikes came directly from her bloodline, which was graded at be equivalent of a Light Angel of the Highest Order.
Mere Demon Privates to Demon Captains could only ever dream of surviving even more than a single strike and screamed as they turned into ashes on the spot. It didn’t matter where they were nor did it matter what they were doing – whether it was bathing, playing around, shitting or raping – they were straightly edified on the spot.
The Demon Lords, though, put up a bit of a fight. They mostly managed to block for a few seconds with all their might, but were eventually beaten in terms of strength, then fatally injured.
That’s right, only fatally injured!
Eva frowned as she realized that the issue lay in her proportion of the damage spread. Every beam had the same power, so naturally what could killer the weaker ones would not work as well on the stronger ones.
In this volley, she had killed 329,519,589 Demon Privates, 6,570,962 Demon Sergeants, 95,376 Demon Captains and 77 Demon Lords. She also culled over 20 million miscellaneous Demons that lived in the Demon towns as servants, workers, or traders. The only ones who survived were foreign visitors, now alone in what resembled a ghost town.
All around them were dead Demon bodies, leaving them chilled and speechless since they had watched the slaughter. Many identified the attack to be similar to the holy light of angels, but also possess the edifying powers of Buddha.
Could one powerhouse from the two factions currently be on a rampage?
Still, seeing the Demon corpses that were turning to ash, many shared looks of understanding and immediately began raiding. Even if this wasn’t the home of the despicable Demons, but had been a more honest and kind place, such fellows would still loot.
Of course, they would feel bad about it a little, but looting Demons? Ha!
Eva tallied her kills and shook her head. It wasn’t enough. From the feedback she got from the Heaven Realm, it wanted around 10 trillion Demons permanently vanquished.
Why so expensive? Well, it was for a mixture of reasons. One was that Eva had directly asked for the greatest Cultivation Method belonging to the Angels AND the Cultivation Method that ‘God’ used.
Don’t forget, after fixing her Inheritances, Eva was a Light Angel, now a Light Phoenix and a Creator God. Her third Inheritance worked in the same vein as Christianity, Islam and all known religions’ Supreme Being.
It is not the same as typical Gods we hear about who either rose from mortals, possess a low of raw power, have an attribute that is affiliated with divinity or process mortals faith for divine power. She was like none of those inferior ones.
The Light Angel Cultivation Method didn’t require much, and Eva met all the criteria. She was a 12 winged Seraph Angel, her Holy Kight was at the pinnacle, and she had access to all Angel forms.
There was no Angel like Eva in the Heavenly Realm, so Heaven was naturally willing to invest in her, however this Supreme Being matter made it pause. If not for Eva showing her Heavenly Eye Inheritance’s aura, which contained elements of a Creator God and a Supreme Being, Heaven would never have agreed.
Heaven was excited to finally get another Supreme Being at the helm, since the previous one was dead, killed by those vile creatures from the Abyss. Heavens’ hatred for Abyssal creatures was higher than its hate for Demons right now.
But still, it had to test her. Hence, she needed to kill 10 trillion Demons. It seemed a lot, but it was easy for the current Eva. She could kill up to the Demon Commander Rank, and at that point she would have to exert more effort.
Demons Kings she would have to have a protracted fight, and her victory was not assured.
Welp, rather than stand here and mull over things needlessly, it was better to continue killing!
Eva and Luxia blazed through hell at near light speed, reaching new areas that Eva would envelop in her Control and then genocide all Demonic beings. With her speed and efficiency, she had killed 7 trillion Demons of all kinds by the time half an hour had passed.
She had to pause here and take a break, as even though her Bloodline Energy regenerated fast enough for her to continue this, it was taking a toll on her body. No matter what, she was still made of flesh and blood, and had not gained 100% control over the bloodline yet.
This only made her spirit burn for the cultivation methods even more, as they would be the path for them to break the shackles and ascend to greatness!
Right now, though, Luxia flew slowly through Hell, while Eva rested on her back.. The two formed a picturesque scene, the lovely glowing Light Phoenix passing through the sky with a sleeping beauty of unparalleled quality on its back.
