Chapter 849 The Beginning of the New Continental Coalition
Reading the system’s response, Lothur opened his mouth in shock, unable to believe what was happening to him.
It had never taken him more than a day to recover from previous beatings. How could it take him so long now?
Besides, in 100 years, Concordia would be completely destroyed, and only demons would be left. What would be the point of him acting when everything was already lost?
‘How is that possible? Have I lost my Super Regeneration?’ He asked.
[“No. The Super Regeneration ability is functional, just slightly weakened, as the host’s attributes are reduced from what they were before. However, the host’s body isn’t injured, so the ability is in standby mode.]
‘My body isn’t damaged? Is this damage only to my soul?’
[Correct. It will take 100 years for your soul to recover to its stable yet weakened state. It can only be strengthened to the previous level or higher through the host’s subsequent journey.]
‘Shit! So what do I do? Should I just wait and come back to avenge the world? What is the point of that?’
[The host’s body is currently in a distorted region of space by the Space Watch. According to my calculations, the passage of time here differs from the real world. Perhaps those 100 years for you are the equivalent of much less for those on Concordia.
However, I can’t say how much time will pass outside of this spatial cloud.]
‘Maybe?’ Lothur thought about the possibility that the passage of time was slower there, which would mean more time would pass outside this space.
He felt terrible thinking about it. Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do about it.
‘Is there really nothing I can do?’ He asked nervously.
[Host, you’re barely alive. You’re just a remnant in your eighth Soul Bone right now. There’s nothing for you to do but wait.
If the host prefers, I can put you in a state of hibernation and awaken you when you are nearing the end of your recovery.
The 100 years will pass for you in the blink of an eye.]
That was the only alternative for him. With no other options, Lothur sighed before agreeing with the system.
‘I better get some sleep and not spend all this time alone with nothing to do. All right, system, do what you want. Put me into hibernation.’
Lothur would soon no longer see that space filled with darkness, where only the system’s message boxes could give him something to look at.
As he fell into a deep sleep, time would begin to pass for him, with 10 years passing in the blink of an eye!
…
Meanwhile, in Concordia…
Ten days had passed since Lothur had fallen to the demons who had acted against him.
At that time, the Demon Emperor had finally been brought back to the world 5 days ago!
After the ritual to bring him back was completed, the demons Lothur had faced had succeeded in their goal, bringing back to the world the cruel being that had once ravaged these lands.
This time, he wasn’t as strong as before because he needed to eat and take some time to recover after being resurrected.
The Demon Emperor’s cultivation was at level 26. Still, since he was weakened, he couldn’t even use power comparable to that of a level 22 cultivator.
However, his temporary weakness could be cured in no time! He could be back in top shape in a few months, enough for the Demon Tribe to return with 100% of their plans against Concordia!
The fact that the Demon Emperor’s food group had fled would delay this demon’s recovery and the start of his people’s operations. However, no one in the tribe was worried about it, as they were much more confident this time due to their many preparations for such a moment.
After their previous defeat, the demons had learned that they were not invincible and were now much more cautious in their actions than in the past.
Now, the Demon Emperor was already on Demon Island while his strongest experts were hunting high-level humans in Concordia!
While some level 24 and 25 demons were hunting on their leader’s behalf, the group that escaped from the demon prison was forming its coalition to defend the continent!
…
In the Ancestral Region…
Now, a red-haired human, along with some level 23 and 24 beasts, stood in front of a group of pointy-eared creatures with weapons pointed in their direction.
“Cykad, you traitor, how dare you return here?” One of the leaders of the Ancestral Folk, along with the leader of the Dinosaur Tribe, asked the Tyrannosaurus Rex next to Elke.
After leaving for this area, Elke had found Cykad and joined her group with the Dinosaur’s.
Cykad had been trying for days to warn the world’s experts of the Demon Emperor’s return. Still, except for two old acquaintances who agreed to join him, everyone else refused to listen.
Not only that, but with the recent news of Cykad’s alliance with the hybrid, hardly anyone believed him anymore, which had led him into a few fights since he left Lothur.
Fortunately, he had met Elke along the way and joined her party to come to the area and try to warn the people of the region of what was happening.
“Elder, I’m sure you’ll understand everything I’ve done one day. But for now, we don’t have time to talk about it. The Demon Emperor has been brought back to the world, and we are currently in extreme danger.
The Demon Tribe wants to destroy the entire continent to advance and reach an unprecedented level. If we don’t unite like the women did years ago, we will be wiped out this time.” He said seriously.
“Demon Emperor?” The dinosaur on the side of the Ancestral Folk muttered.
“Cut the crap, Cykad. How long are you going to use that excuse?”
“It’s not an excuse!” Elke commented as she took a step forward. “My companion was killed because of it, and we all felt the beginning of the ritual to bring that demon back to life!”
“Yes, I can tell. I don’t know about your old rivalries, but this beast and this human are on our side, friends of the Ancestral Region.” Cerberus said, looking at these people steadily. “The Demon Emperor must already be walking through our lands, recovering from his weakened state.
Don’t expect the current peace to last more than a few weeks. Between one and three months, this continent will see the beginning of the worst era of all!”
The surrounding beings doubted the words of Elke and Cykad, but this beast was an old fighter against the demonic threat, someone they hadn’t heard of for a long time but knew.
His warning was much more credible than that of Lothur’s two companions!
“Is this really serious? What happened to the hybrid? Aren’t you going to help him?”
“The demons killed him,” Elke said, still in the dark about Annaliese’s findings.
