Chapter 1168: Port Kapchor
Karl used [Healing Splash] to heal the Demon and wash the sand off him at the same time.
"There, all better. It saves us the time of waiting for you to regenerate.
Now, I’ve got a question for you that will certainly seem odd if you’re not a fan of history. What do you know of the System?" Karl asked.
The big demon frowned as he ran his hand over his freshly healed chest.
"The System? The legend of the ancient divine power that would let anyone who gained its favour ascend beyond their species limits? It is said that even your Foxkin bride could ascend to Immortality if she had access to the System.
Well, she would have a chance.
The Gods are not so simple to please, and there would surely have been trials and tribulations to gain that much power, even with the System."
Karl nodded. "Well, at least it isn’t completely forgotten. But the System has started to awaken again on the other continents, and we came here to determine why it won’t awaken here."
The Demon frowned. "Perhaps we have the favour of the Demon Gods? They know that prey is prey and scum are scum that belong beneath the powerful. What self-respecting Demon God would encourage a way for Succubi and Satyrs to get notions of rising above their station?"
Karl nodded. "That is a possibility. But we have heard that the Elves and the other species are having the same issue, and the other continents don’t want to risk the chance that it’s a curse of some sort that might spread."
