Chapter 3355: Untitled
With such questions in mind, Theresa continued listening to the Medusa.
“According to the legends,” Medusa said, “in the last moments of the Queen of Crimson, she left a prophecy for thousands of years to come. She said that, although the war to conquer the Glorious Mortal World failed, it was only because the time was not ripe yet. Let’s separate the Blood Demon Sector from the Glorious Mortal World and let the people of the Jadeite Continent enjoy the brief sunlight. After the threat of the demon race is gone, the people of the Jadeite Continent will be consumed by their own ambitions, greed, and laziness. They will gradually forget their past glory and kill each other, dwelling in the swirl of power and arrogance.
“In the end, today, thousands of years later, a new Crimson Queen will be born in the Blood Demon Sector. She will finish her ten-thousand-year-long reign and unite the demon world and the human world!
“How hilarious.”
Hela raised her eyebrow. “The so-called ‘Prophecy of the Crimson Queen’ is just lies!”
“Is that so?”
The Medusa was quite a smooth talker. She immediately retorted, “People like you who live in sunlight always blame the devils for all the darkness and evilness. But it’s been thousands of years since the so-called ‘ancient demonic calamity’. The devils have never launched a large-scale attack on the glorious human beings in the past thousands of years. Let me ask you, has the war on the Emerald Continent stopped?
“Well…”
Hera was rendered speechless.
“You are a dragon.”
Medusa carefully observed Hela for a while before she put on a proud smile and said, “You said just now that the dragon race suffered heavy losses in the ancient demon disaster and were forced to migrate to the Dragon Scale Island in the depths of the ocean of storms to recover… I’m afraid that’s not the truth, is it?
“Everybody knows that the dragons showed too much capability in the fierce battle against the devils in the ancient demon disaster and were deeply feared by human beings. In the end, right after the ancient demon disaster was over, human beings abandoned you and drove you to the depths of the ocean when you were at your weakest. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Do you still consider the devils to be your greatest enemy?
“You—”
Having been hit where it hurt, Hera was not able to argue back for a moment. She simply chose a different battlefield. “Hasn’t the Blood Demon Sector always been at war with other demons?
“Yes. It was exactly what the Crimson Queen had foreseen.
“That’s why she left an entire ‘crimson palace’ where magical equipment and magical equipment from the primeval era were stored, as well as the hope to unite us and control the stars!”
Hera was going to say something, but Black Jack stopped her.
“Alright. The legend of the Crimson Queen is indeed interesting.
Black Jack looked at Medusa and said, “But how can you be sure that the legends are true and not just rumors? You must know that legends such as ‘ancient heritage, secret treasures of deities and devils’ are everywhere in the Emerald Continent. There are at least eight thousand of them. A full-scale civil war in the demon world over a vague legend? Even an ambitious man such as Grand Lord Cooper would not be so hasty, would he?”
“Yes. Although the palace and the prophecy of the Crimson Queen have been passed on in the Blood Demon Sector for thousands of years, not many people have taken them seriously because they are too bizarre and far away. But this time is different. We have irrefutable proof.
“Over the past three to five years,” Medusa said, “small-scale earthquakes have been happening frequently in the Blood Demon Sector. Although the damage is not too serious, it is getting more and more frequent, and the range of impact is getting larger and larger.
“The Blood Demon Sector is an enclosed space. If the earthquake continues, it is very likely to lead to the collapse of the entire world. Everybody is panicking. Many demons are worried that the apocalypse is coming.
“However, although the earthquake was a disaster, it brought hope, too. Many power furnaces that had been sealed for a long time were somehow reignited during the earthquake, producing abundant and stable spiritual energy. Many secret arsenals were automatically opened during the earthquake, too. It was only because of the benefits inside the arsenals that the troops of the Hell Destroyer Clan were armed to teeth.
“At that time, the first elder of the Turing Clan received a revelation in the intense earthquake. He seemed to have found irrefutable evidence, too. Therefore, he mobilized the entire Turing Clan to look for a new Queen of Crimson and excavate the crimson palace together.
“The great elder of the Turing Clan has always been the wisest man in the Blood Demon Sector. He has a lot of secrets and classics from the primeval era, too. There’s no way that he will be confused by the vague legends. Besides, we don’t have any other options right now. With the arrival of Grand Lord Kuba, the crimson palace is our last hope. Only when the new Queen of Crimson Blood steps forward can we fight against Grand Lord Kuba!”
“I see…” Black Jack was deep in thought.
“Wait. I have a question.
Hela said, “Hasn’t the Blood War Demon Sector always been a place where the strong prey on the weak? If you are so strong, why didn’t the first elder of the Turing Clan submit to you and offer the ‘crimson palace’ to you so that you could get the legacy of the Crimson Queen? Why did you have to fight against you?”
There was a weird smile on Witch Medusa’s face.
“Did you not hear me, wise dragon girl?”
“That’s because the Great Elder of the Turing Clan is looking for a new Empress Crimson, the ‘Empress’!
“It is said that only women can pass the test of the crimson palace and inherit Kelly’s legacy. Men, however talented and resourceful they may be, are never going to be the new Empress of Crimson Blood. Therefore, Lord Cooper never stood a chance in the first place. No wonder he was so desperate to destroy everything before a new empress was born.
“There is… such a thing?”
Hera was in disbelief.
However, the world of magic was full of mysteries. Even the bloodline of the dragon race had a lot of weird rules and taboos. It was not strange that only women could inherit certain bloodlines.
Listening to the story from the back of the crowd, Theresa was even more enlightened. She connected the ambitions of Lord Cooper, the ancient black magic books, and the evil experiments that he had entrusted to Eric, the ‘shapeshifter’, like pearls.
She seemed to know why Grand Lord Kuba was studying the evil black magic that could change from male to female.
It seemed that she was wrong about Kuba. He had his reasons. He was not a pervert who simply wanted to become a girl!
