Chapter 262 - 263: The Holy SSS Class Mission
"This is a genuine, living demon entity, not a projection from another dimension, my lord," Shangguan Xu said as he scanned an ancient book, "During the eruption of the Abyssal Flare, crevices exhale a horrifying surge of demonic aura. This aura is diluted and suppressed by the Array of Heavenly Gate Fortress, but the excess portions may take the shape of demons in the Mortal World. However, these demons are not entities."
"Only in very rare instances will actual demons crawl out of the crevices, they are real, they are the originals."
"Are the originals more formidable than the projections?"
"Of course, projection demons gather and store power in the Mortal World, then relay it back to the originals in the Hell dimension through arcane means. In essence, all demons are incredibly powerful."
"So it’s fair to say that all the demons in the Mortal World are just clones?"
"You could say that! However, this is not an absolute, genuine demons also exist. According to ’The Essence of Abyssal Demons’, the physical demons that come to the Mortal World are usually left with no alternatives and take great risks to arrive at our dimension. They are under real threat in Hell."
"Usually these demons are high-ranking ones, whether they fail challenging a superior demon or simply aren’t content with their status, they discover their own way to survive and become more powerful. Which is why the real demons appear in the Mortal World," Shangguan Xu glanced at the enormous female demon, shaking his head with a puzzled look in his eye, "However, this one might be an exception."
"From what you’ve said, it seems pretty easy for a demon to come to the Mortal World?"
"No, no, no, my lord, for an original demon to come to the Mortal World is a gamble of the highest stakes. There’s a ’dimensional atmosphere’ obstructing each dimension. To be entirely honest, I’m highly astounded by the good fortune of this juvenile Hell Demon from Satan’s Royal Family."
At this point, Chu You cast a glance at the book Shangguan Xu was holding, he asked, "What ancient book are you holding?"
"This is ’The Essence of Abyssal Demons’ written by The Three Ancestors of Taoism, would you like to take a look, my lord?" He handed it over to Chu You after speaking.
