Chapter 696: Emperor Kui and Isulna
Chapter 696: Emperor Kui and Isulna
Bai Hao came to a material distribution center, which was located in the southern suburbs of the Magic City. People were coming and going, all talking about something with smiles on their faces.
Most of them were wearing military uniforms and were officers of high rank in the Magic City.
A group of furry three-tailed beasts are pulling cargo. They are giant beasts tens of meters tall, with a gentle temperament and great strength. They are a species unique to the demon world and are specifically responsible for carrying military supplies. They are very common in large-scale wars in the demon world.
Bai Hao knew that this should be Kurad’s memory space, and he should be nearby.
Sure enough, Bai Hao soon saw Kurad in the sentry tower behind him. At this time, he was lecturing several officers.
Kurad is still very young. He is not only a gifted first-level primordial demon, but also a trusted servant of Emperor Kui. Therefore, he is doing very well in the Demon City. Even second-level and third-level primordial demons have to give him face.
Kurad had a clean face, without the thick beard he has now, and his hair was combed neatly. He looked full of energy and vigor. Not only him, but almost all the soldiers and officers nearby had such energy and vigor.
Bai Hao guessed that this should be the early stage of the invasion of the mortal world. Emperor Kui has just opened the demon channel, and the mortal world corresponding to the channel is the Suvelk Empire.
This human empire that ruled most of the Central Plains was in a miserable state, and was completely powerless to fight back against the attacks of the demons.
Not to mention the early stages of the invasion war, the human race was defeated throughout the entire war stage, with a crushing defeat and cities lost one after another. Any demon soldier was at the level of Demon Lord, which was equivalent to an elementalist on the continent of Walterlan.
Relying solely on the military strength of the Suvilk Empire, it is only a matter of time before it is occupied by the demons.
In time, the entire Central Plains will become a colony of the demons, and all creatures in the mortal world will become slaves. The power gap between the two worlds will be like heaven and earth.
Bai Hao had no interest in this material distribution center, so he immediately adjusted his memory to the future. The world in his memory was changing rapidly, with Kurad as the center, and time and space were constantly changing.
As the person in charge of logistics and material support, Kurad spends most of his time in the Demon Realm. He only goes to the Mortal Realm and the Demon Army's base camp in the Mortal Realm occasionally when he needs to report on work progress.
Although they were stationed there, the demons basically directly occupied the royal palace of the Suvelk Empire.
As for the princes and nobles, some were killed and some were imprisoned. Many beautiful concubines and maids became playthings for the demons' amusement.
Tragic tragedies were happening all the time in the Suvelk Empire. Bai Hao's guess was right. Millions of mortals had almost become food for the creatures from the demon world. They didn't even need to be cooked, they just ate raw meat and drank blood.
Skinny old people in their seventies and eighties are the most unpalatable. Demons usually enjoy killing people in various ways. Young boys and girls with delicate bodies are the best ingredients. Many tasteful demons have even invented "human sashimi".
Among the demons, the most sought-after ones are naturally newborn babies. With their soft, fragrant and pure flesh, the demons eat them almost one by one, without spitting out any bones. They chew the whole thing and swallow it down, moaning with satisfaction.
Every part of the human body has a different way of eating. At the banquet where all the demons gathered, Bai Hao was greatly enlightened. All kinds of cooked meals filled the long table. People were like animals, and the fine wine was mixed with arterial blood, which was fishy, wet and sticky.
It was a veritable place of feasting and drinking. Every time Bai Hao saw the memory of Kurad attending the devil's banquet, he couldn't help but feel nauseous. This was undoubtedly hell on earth and the end of the world.
Kurad's memory is just the tip of the iceberg. After all, the military affairs he is in charge of are on the demon world side, so the atrocities committed by the demons in the mortal world only account for a small part of his memory. But this is enough to see that it is impossible for the mortal and demon worlds to coexist peacefully.
Once the demons enter the mortal world, it is like a hungry tiger or wolf invading a sheepfold!
Mutual benefit in trade? Making friends? Cultural integration?
These are absolutely impossible to happen because the status of creatures in the two worlds is not equal, just like it is impossible for humans to be friends with livestock.
Bai Hao kept sliding his memory and soon came to the late stage of the invasion war. That was the last time Kurad went to the mortal world base camp to report on his work. Although he was a loyal servant of Emperor Kui, he had almost no chance to meet him directly.
The gap between the power and status of a fifth-order primordial demon and a first-order primordial demon is too great. Kurad can basically only report his work to Emperor Kui's adjutant and is completely unqualified to meet Emperor Kui.
But this last time is different. The demon clan happens to be holding a celebration banquet, and Emperor Kui will also be present. Bai Hao will have the opportunity to see the true appearance of this fifth-order original demon!
Bai Hao remembered very clearly that on the night after the celebration banquet, all the demons that invaded the mortal world would mysteriously disappear, even Di Kui, the fifth-order original demon.
It was unbelievable and unreasonable that the war in which the demons invaded the mortal world ended so abruptly.
The celebration banquet was held in the capital of the Suvelk Empire, which is now the territory of the Suvel Kingdom. Bai Hao even recognized that this was the large square in the north of the Suvel Royal City, and his own magic experiment field was built next to it.
Kurade is not an ordinary soldier of the Demon Lord. He is qualified to toast Emperor Kui. As a man who admires the strong, Kurade will definitely not miss this good opportunity. He even dressed up carefully today. After all, it is not easy to have a drink with the master.
Bai Hao skipped the boring banquet and went straight to the toasting session. From afar, he saw Di Kui, who was surrounded by the crowd. She was a graceful and elegant... woman?
Bai Hao was shocked at the time. He had always thought that Di Kui was a male. He didn't expect that this famous fifth-order original demon, the former master of the Demon City, was actually a female demon king.
But these are not the point. If it was just a woman, Bai Hao wouldn't have to be so shocked.
The key point is Di Kui's appearance. She looks exactly like Isurna, with the same face shape, facial features, and even the position of the beauty mole at the corner of her eye.
Bai Hao couldn't help rubbing his eyes, and then he cast a spell to clear his mind and concentrate his spirit. Only after he was sure that he was not hallucinating did he accept the reality.
His fiancée, the person who sleeps beside him, actually looks like a fifth-order primordial demon.
Is this a coincidence?
No, it absolutely can't be such a coincidence!
There must be a shocking truth hidden in this. Di Kui was a fifth-order original demon who invaded the Suvelk Empire ten thousand years ago. She also disappeared inexplicably in the territory of the Suvelk Royal City.
Everyone said she was killed by the gods, but no one had ever seen her turn into ashes.
Ten thousand years later, Isulna was born in the royal city of Suville. She came into the world with an appearance exactly like Dikui. The coincidence was so outrageous that Bai Hao was the first one who did not believe that there was no connection.
So, Isurna is Emperor Kui?
This is not right. Bai Hao knows that Isurna is an independent person. She has a clear personality, identity, and everything about her. She is most likely different from Di Kui, but this may also be a subjective misjudgment of Bai Hao.
After all, the latter is a fifth-order primordial demon, both in strength and in scheming. What if she has been acting all along? What if she is plotting something? What if she is playing everyone to her own devices?
Bai Hao suddenly felt a sense of fear, followed by a chill, because he could not rule out this possibility. If the fifth-order primordial demon really wanted to deceive people, Bai Hao would definitely not be able to see through it.
If Xiaonai hadn't invented the memory observation method, if Baihao hadn't thought of using Kurad's memory to investigate the truth of ten thousand years ago, if he hadn't just happened to see the true face of Dikui in his dream memory...
There is a real possibility that Bai Hao will be kept in the dark forever.
