Chapter 2011: Chapter 2008: The Man Among Hell

[Spar]

It was said to be to solidify Eugene’s foundation in becoming a king,

but in truth, it was also a bit of Han Dong’s idea.

Han Dong, after reconstructing the Truth and acquiring the new system from the Lotus Origin Vortex, had yet to have a decent warm-up… The recent commotion caused by Eugene’s ascension to kingship, including the execution of M.O.,

made Han Dong see him as the perfect sparring partner.

This spar stirred up the curse flow within the [Cemetery of Insomnia],

even causing the entire planet to experience violent tremors,

Pope, acting as the referee, constantly felt pressured, even developing a sense of urgency of possibly being surpassed.

“This Eugene fellow…”

…

The duel continued for an entire day and night.

It ended with Eugene unable to maintain his human form, transforming into a puddle of green water filled with eyeballs and teeth.

Han Dong’s body was also covered with bite marks, being quite surprised at Eugene’s performance… According to Han Dong’s initial assessment, even in a spar, he should have been able to completely restrain Eugene within three hours.

Unexpectedly, it took the whole day, and he was even significantly hurt.

“Eugene, to what extent have you fused with the Demonic Canon?”

The green water on the ground barely formed an open mouth, emitting a hoarse voice:

“The Scripture of the Corpse Eating Cult has a compatibility with me higher than any demon,

one could even say its birth was inherently bound with my existence.

Becoming a king, and the execution and consumption of M.O., the former holder, led to a soul-level fusion with the Demonic Canon, reaching the late stage of training.

I should realize the full achievement of my cultivation the moment I ascend the throne.

By the way… could you find something for me to eat, I’m unable to coagulate my true form right now.

Even the Insomniacs here will do.”

In his current state, Eugene was completely unconcerned about pride; if he couldn’t eat, the energy within him would be completely exhausted, forcing him into a dormant state.

“Forget about the Insomniacs; in your current state, you may not be able to withstand this [Insomnia Curse].

As a return gift for the spar, I’ll give you something good to eat.”

Han Dong directly contacted Swollen Doctor from within the Prison World to get the goods.

Crackling~

A heap of uncontaminated ghoul experiment materials instantly piled in front of Eugene.

These were all ghouls processed through genetic modification and bloodline infusion, and Eugene immediately began devouring them ravenously, sucking each bone several times before biting and swallowing them.

A full two tons of material were consumed by Eugene, leaving not a trace,

rapidly recovering and replenishing himself through ‘Cannibalistic Conversion’, restoring his human form.

When Eugene looked at Han Dong again, his eyes had completely changed,

the former animosity had thinned considerably,

replaced by a more thorough and pure gaze; he also regarded Han Dong as a rival, but the nature had changed, solely to avoid falling too far behind this nearly monstrous hybrid human.

The spar process just experienced was vivid in his mind,

especially the lotus-shaped energy construction he would never forget.

‘This guy’s [talent] might already surpass Pope… In the future end game, he certainly will have a place.’

At this moment,

Pope, unable to endure it any longer, put aside the pride of the Second Element, floating directly to the center of the two.

“You two take a brief rest, and I’ll have a go with each of you later.”

And so,

the three formed a group, residing permanently in the so-called [Forbidden Land – Cemetery of Insomnia], constantly engaging in sparring in various aspects, even conducting academic discussions in their free time.

Pope carried the Demonic Canon – [Revelation of Glaki], an extremely unclean text.

It conveniently allowed him to discuss with Han Dong, an individual fused with the Faulty and Impurity Source Liquid, the filthy terms he couldn’t deeply understand,

even making an arrangement to visit the Planet of the Impure Beings once their sparring and exchange here concluded.

Of course,

During this time, Han Dong silently monitored ‘Goodman’s’ research condition.

…

As the world followed Mr. Eugene’s planning, approaching the “Final Game”,

the entire S-01 world, besides the eager demons,

required special mention of the humans intermingled within. This seemingly small group, limited to Earth, would also join this game,

among them were several individuals whose power had become formidable.

Source World – [Hell]

Hell, classified by the Black Tower as a Source World, also had its files listed as top secret.

The birthplace of the commonly spread race among the myriad worlds – demons, ensuring the stable control of their foundational fertility and evolution.

The Black Tower forcibly restricted Hell to a large-scale world, preventing its promotion.

In reality, Hell was among the earliest born worlds, with the internal potential of the World Origin and the volume of “The Power of the World” sufficiently supporting its development into a Super World.

Presently,

a person wearing an Ashen Crown, ignoring the dissuasion of other Hell Kings, embarked alone on the irreversible path to uncover Hell’s truth.

Many kings, who considered themselves mighty, had once shared the same ideal as him, attempting to find the truth, striving to secure opportunities and channels for Hell World to ascend to a higher level.

However, they all ultimately perished on the way to the Heart of the World,

even finding broken and unlit crowns, shattered blades, and demon horns along the way.

The closer they got to the Heart of the World, the more frequently they encountered a type of eerie lifeform transcending the bounds of Hell,

having limbs reversed, with heads twisted 180°, facing forward with their backs… they even wore uniform outfits, some kind of black fabric garment resembling employee attire.

Touching them could cause matter to ‘reverse’.

Among them was a ‘captain’ who even possessed a lower rank.

Yet…

This human wearing the Ashen Crown,

carrying the chain-saw giant blade “Usartum, The Tyrant (Empire),” in one hand,

and “Flowing Light Orthodox Sect (Beheading King Will)” in the other,

slaughtered all creatures daring to bar his path, arriving at the [Heart of Hell] no demon had ever reached.

The truth lay before him.

The [Heart of Hell], as the World Origin, was comprehensively restrained by a series of Black Tower artifices, with steel spikes embedded on its surface, the same material as the B.B.C building’s outer wall, ensuring it could never elevate.

“So the Black Tower is suppressing Hell on a subjective level, is this the truth? Sigh… A bit disappointing.”

The human, naturally, was Marlon Hairpinz H Kazakovich.

He had long suspected that the Black Tower might be behind it all,

thinking there could be a more interesting reason, like a demon-related, hell-like Subsuper world, or even a Super World secretly siphoning energy from Hell.

This kind of truth now was indeed a little dull.

Just as Marlon stepped forward, ready to pull out the spikes from the Heart of Hell’s surface.

A tremendous threat swept over his body.

The “Flowing Light Orthodox Sect” held in his left hand even transmitted a warning from the Beheading King’s will—’Run!’

Nonetheless,

Marlon felt no fear,

raising his arms in front of him, enduring the strike head-on.

Clang!

The divine weapon in his right arm flew out of his hand, embedding itself deep into the wall.

Only the “Flowing Light Orthodox Sect” barely clung to his left hand, trembling uncontrollably, hard to hold steady.

Marlon’s once powerful demonic arm was now twisted like a pretzel; even his soul had been severely contorted.

Yet he showed no intention of fleeing,

glaring furiously into the darkness as a mysterious figure walked out slowly from the World Portal.

A mysterious figure with a suit worn inside-out, left and right hands swapped,

on his cheek, marked a mirrored letter – [R].

“You are the first demon to reach here… Or should I say, a human mixed with demon bloodline.

To be so obsessed with the world, impressive indeed.

Attack me, if you can touch or even hurt me, I might give you something interesting or even a chance.”
