Chapter 985 Spaceship Cannons
Chapter 985 Spaceship Cannons
Hearing Nell's irritated response, Elysia thought for a moment about why the Human Goddess could be irritated regarding the affairs of the demons of the Underworld. It might be good if the demons perished for good. That way, there would be no more demons who might do bad things to the world.
Since the demon's nature was the path of sin and their destination was hell, where did Nell's irritation come from? There would be a day when the holy divinity would stand up for the demons.
'No, my Lil Ely. Both bad and good are needed in this world. Do you still remember about there being good in bad, and there is bad in good? Everything is for the balance of the world, and we shouldn't eliminate the other side just because of our sense of justice. We are the judgment, remember?' Elena reminded Elysia based on her understanding of the situation.
'Mm, let's put that aside. We shouldn't be dealing with it now either. Xero can take care of his naughty dog himself, can't he?' Elysia muttered as she saw the Heretic God's signature wisp of mist come to the throne of the hall.
'He should have, or he could have embarrassed himself. Anyway, what dress should I wear to your spirit, Ely? We have a white cute dress, but this sparkling dress is also good.' Elena then hummed as she was busy dressing Elysia's spirit.
'The most comfortable one is the best.' Elysia was somewhat used to Elena's actions. Her Guardian Angel was sometimes fond of treating her helpless spirit as a dress-up doll.
"What's with your distress call? I've secured the spaceship's cannons as you requested." Xero materialized himself from within the black mist with a half-asleep expression. Yet, he suddenly remembered something and immediately checked his wristwatch. "Wait, now is the time for us to go to the Dwarven Continent and fly to the Moon?"
"It's related to the monster dog you created in the Underworld to hunt down the demons involved with the Ruvoid Avatars. You forgot about that one, right?" Nell snorted and folded her arms, taking a firm stance in front of her nemesis.
"Monster dog? What do you mean by that hellhound? That boy has a fragment of my divinity and divine power. He should be gone once his task is done." Xero pursed his lips and rubbed his chin, feeling nothing was wrong with his side.
He then glanced to the side and found the two Demon Kings kneeling before the Goddesses. He then frowned. "Hey, what are you two doing here? Didn't I let you off the hook since you weren't involved with those troublemakers and traitors?"
"Please leave a way out for us! You said you let us off the hook, but our people were still slaughtered to try to stop that terrifying hellhound. The monster didn't disappear even though it cleared the demons with the wisp of the contract of the other Demon Kings!" The red Demon King expressed his complaints with a great grievance.
"That boy didn't disappear? Hmm, this is strange... No wonder my fragment of power hasn't returned. Your people couldn't possibly be involved in that tantalizing curse contract, right?" Xero folded his arms, feeling suspicious of the last two Demon Kings before him.
"We dare not!" The blue Demon Kings immediately replied.
"Alright, let me handle it for a moment. You two come with me." Xero felt something was wrong, but it would be much better to check it out in person.
He bound the two Demon Kings with his darkness, but he was stopped just before he left. He looked back and glanced at Elysia's group. "You can finish your business here, and I will follow you to the Dwarven Continent once this business is over."
"Do you need any help?" Elysia asked out of courtesy.
"No need. I'm enough to topple Underworld upside down if it's needed." Xero waved his hand in farewell.
'Please let us know if something out of control comes to you. You also have an escape route. Please don't be careless or reckless. We can't bear to fall into the enemy's schemes again.' Elysia sent a secret telepathy before Xero stepped into the fog.
'Heh, both you and your master are really similar.' Xero smirked at Elysia before activating the entrance array to the Underworld. The two Demon Kings were also brought in there.
"Oh, so that's how we get into the Underworld on the Devul Continent. We have to make our own entrance." Yuuki dropped his fist onto her open palm.
"But, that doesn't explain how demons can appear on other continents. It's as if demons from the Underworld can spawn anywhere at will." Ella was unconvinced.
"The demons from the Underworld can only travel to the surface world within the Devil Continent. Those that appear on other continents are nothing more than vagabond demons looking for victims. They hide in the shadows and rotten hearts of humans." Dylan explained a bit just because his mood was excellent today.
"Are all of them under your command, Devil Emperor Dylan?" Ariel clenched her fists. She both felt tense and irritated, considering the magnitude of the devil and demon's nasty deeds in the Human Continent.
"Humans and devils both have their own spy agents, why did you come to the conclusion that I am an almighty devil who orchestrates all the evil deeds in human territory? Those vagabond demons do not govern or take orders from anyone. They only accept a deal with the soul or sacrifice as the payment of their help." Dylan stepped toward the exit.
"It's not just humans, but other races also fall prey to them. Underworld only exists on the Devil Continent, but demons can be everywhere." Sylvia explained a bit to avoid misunderstandings.
"It's time we fetch the cannons. Devil Emperor Dylan also has some business to attend to quickly. See how eager he is." Elysia whispered to the girls.
Sylvia jogged and walked beside her father. "Hehee~ Father, you look in a good mood now. Did Ely's gift please you very much? Why no spill some secrets to this adorable daughter of yours and share a bit of your excitement? Ely, look, this is my first time seeing my father looks carefree after so many years."
"Hmm?" Elysia caught up with Sylvia because this devil princess asked her to come closer. She studied Dylan's face and saw almost no difference from his usual expression.
"Oh, you are embarrassed and now put on a neutral cold face? Fine, silent reply, is it? See how I will ignore you for a few years. I have Ely." Sylvia pouted and hugged Elysia's arm.
"What do you say, silly daughter of mine? Yeah, tha gift please me very much, but no secrets to spill for you. Ask your dear friend and you will know everything." Dylan pursed his lips and ruffled Sylvia's hair. He couldn't bear his daughter's cheap threat.
"Hmph!" Sylvia just snorted and no longer spoke. She then returned to the group and talked briefly about her daily life with everyone.
"..." Dylan stared at how close Sylvia and Elysia were. For some reason, a picture of Elysia wearing his wife's precious robe came to mind. Elysia was similar to his late wife that night, and all of it was his daughter's fault for trying to dress Elysia in the robe he gave her...
Dylan held his forehead and shook his head. He felt wrong to have a crooked idea about this human girl.
They arrived at the manufacturing building outside the capital city a while later. Rows of massive cannons came to everyone's sight, and the black glow of each weapon of mass destruction emitted an intimidating air even in its dormant state.
"I believe you saw the destroyed area five kilometers to the south earlier. One of the secondary cannons at a half full charge could blow up a mountain. We dared not try with the main cannon as it would be devastating." Dylan pointed at the largest one. The ferocious-looking metal dragon head cannon.
"Woah... Aren't the devils able to rule the world with this kind of technology? The Goddesses even entrusted the blueprint of the modernized ancient ultimate weapon to you." Vanessa gulped her saliva. She couldn't imagine what would happen if the central cannon was fired at full charge.
"As long as we have sufficient resources and power, that is possible. However, such ambition is meaningless. Also, it is impossible for us to manufacture another main cannon as that would require the divine-class resources which are too scarce." Dylan sighed and shook his head.
"Hmm, who knows what the future holds? You might be able to make a certain deity slaying weapon to protect yourself." Lifa shrugged her shoulders.
"Well, all of them are still wrapped in Heretic God's protective spells. However, you can take them away now. One main cannon, seven secondary cannons, seventeen primary guns, and twenty seven secondary guns." Dylan spread his arms, presenting all the fruits of his and thousands of devils' hard work to the divine.
"Thank you for all your hard work." Lifa put her hand on her upper chest, expressing her gratitude.
"I am honored. We hope you can eliminate the greatest threats from our world. We will do everything we can to eradicate the remaining accursed creatures from this continent." Dylan put his fist in his side chest, giving a knight salute.
"Affirmative. Leave them to us. We shall ensure to handle the loose ends from a hundred thousand years ago. Two months before judgment day for them." Lifa nodded in reply.
After that, Elysia put all those huge cannons and guns into the Nature Realm.
The girls then bid their farewell to Dylan before teleporting away from the vicinity.
Dylan waited a few moments to make sure everyone was gone for real. He then took out his Swype and spoke in an authoritative tone. "Project X will start in three days. Everyone can rest well for now. We will create another masterpiece for our own use."
