After the Lord of th Chapter 113.2

After going through this, the silver cat suddenly ntioned a heavyweight sibling, questioning Aelioge, “Why don’t you win over Second Brother?”

Of course Aelioge had thought of this.

Second Brother was the only demon who could fight with Big Brother, theoretically the best demon to win over. But the difficulty lay in — Second Brother’s thoughts were too unpredictable.

The Siase cat turned to the silver cat. “Didn’t Second Brother fight with Big Brother over Father’s matter? They could fight again, right?”

The silver cat disagreed, “That ti we speculated it was because Big Brother didn’t want Second Brother to take risks, conflicting with Second Brother’s wishes, so They fought. This ti Father has already been resurrected, what reason would Big Brother have to go against Second Brother?”

“Makes sense.”

Aelioge agreed.

The Siase cat snorted. “I don’t believe it, wouldn’t Second Brother be afraid that Big Brother’s return would affect His position?”

The silver cat was dumbfounded, seeming unable to understand His nonsense, “Huh? What are you saying?”

“Don’t you understand? If Big Brother returns to Father’s side, Second Brother’s position won’t be secure!”

The Siase cat clenched His cat paws, His small face as black as coal, looking like a lump of coal, emanating resentnt all over, fur standing on end.

Beelzebub’s mouth twitched, thinking these Father-complex demons’ thoughts were really sothing else. Agares wasn’t as Father-obsessed as you, That’s the wise Second Brother, how could Second Brother be like you, hey.

Ridiculous, truly asuring great demons’ hearts with a small demon’s mind!

Aelioge surprisingly agreed. “Indeed, the Second Brother probably didn’t want Big Brother to return.”

Hey! Are you crazy too?

Because of the eye incident back then, Beelzebub had deep reverence for Agares, which was quite a thick filter. Even beating Him wouldn’t make Him think of Agares being able to do that.

Aelioge shook His head and said, “But it’s useless for us to talk, Second Brother definitely already knew.”

The siase cat: “That’s right, but I think Second Brother will definitely make a move!”

The silver cat couldn’t help but say, “You’re almost enough. Stop targeting Second Brother. Second Brother knows Father wants to see Big Brother, he definitely won’t obstruct Big Brother from coming ho.”

The siase cat looked at the silver cat like looking at a rigid old man, and said earnestly, “Twenty-fourth Brother, a demon’s inner heart is contradictory. Besides, we’re not stopping Big Brother from eting Father, we’re afraid that once He returns, He’ll exile us. We’re now preparing in advance, we must unite and strive for our future family status.”

“Shut up, who’s the twenty-fourth brother!”

The silver cat instantly bristled.

This topic could no longer be discussed.

Aelioge diated. “Don’t get excited, anyway we can’t control Second Brother’s thoughts. Let’s make our preparations, got it Beelzebub?”

The silver cat ground His claws. “…Fine.”

****

Within a short hour, Aelioge dispatched troops everywhere, breaking through His demon brothers and sisters. The progress was so smooth that He Himself was shocked.

What was this? Heaven was probably protecting Him!

Aelioge rembered the Goddess of Wisdom and even ran to ask the Goddess of Fortune for assistance.

However, the Goddess of Fortune wasn’t stupid. How could She give Aelioge fortune’s blessing? That would be inviting disaster!

The Goddess of Fortune had eternal depression, not stupidity!

Aelioge returned to the Aust Empire Library, looked down, and saw Inpos still sleeping on the sofa. On another side, Third Brother Vassago had transford into a lynx, mysteriously increased in size, with power surrounding Him, subtly releasing trendous strength.

Third Brother was getting stronger, which made Aelioge more relieved. Indeed, since Third Brother had just awakened His power, He would definitely need ti to consolidate. Slowly, with six days left, it was enough.

Aelioge gave a faint smile, raised His hand, turning it over and over, magic power rotating, as if adjusting His power.

[War] and [Plague] were known as two of the four horsen of revelation in His father’s ho world, incredibly powerful and beyond imagination.

His power should be one of the strongest powers, He should be an invincible war god who wins every battle!

Aelioge rebuilt His confidence, His power seemingly transford, steadily growing stronger, fully embodying the principle that pressure brings progress.

Aelioge closed His eyes in contemplation, imrsed in the power, experiencing, feeling, comprehending, and elevating!

After an unknown ti, perhaps one or two hours, Aelioge erged from His ditation and discovered Barbatos had contacted Him five minutes ago.

Sothing was found.

“Found any intelligence?”

Aelioge’s gaze suddenly changed, and in the next second, He disappeared and appeared before Barbatos.

“What did you find?”

Aelioge got straight to the point.

At this mont, Barbatos wore casual clothes, sitting on the sofa, looking sowhat haggard, fingers pressed on Her temple, seemingly trying to stay alert.

Aelioge knew from this situation that sothing wasn’t simple.

Barbatos looked at the ground. Hearing Aelioge approach, She slowly raised Her head and answered, “I found the structure information of the mastermind.”

Aelioge was shocked. In His mind, what did structure information an?

Barbatos stretched out Her hand, materializing text in the void, writing while saying, “Their structure equals curse

malice

power

consciousness.”

“Each elent’s purity is 100%, unprecedented.”

“What does this an?”

Aelioge was puzzled.

Barbatos’ expression was grave, Her voice involuntarily lowered, “They are the curse within curses.”

“Their terrifyingly strong willpower has kept Them alive since ancient tis.”

“Never seen such a terrifying thought. Sothing’s wrong with Them, They’re too crazy.”

Aelioge frowned. Barbatos spoke scattered thoughts, almost saying whatever ca to mind. He could see Barbatos wasn’t right, as if influenced by the mastermind’s thoughts.

Such things had happened before. There was no help for it. Barbatos’ [Connect] authority could both instantly connect to things and perceive their emotions and thoughts, but could also cause Her to be deeply influenced by the other party’s emotions and thoughts. Generally, nothing would happen because Barbatos’ inner self was strong, and ordinary things couldn’t affect Her. But this ti was different.

The mastermind was a ghost who had lived through countless thoughts, labeled with the concept of “Evil of the Universe”. Just thinking about it revealed its extraordinariness.

Aelioge, seeing the situation, wanted to advise Barbatos to temporarily disconnect the connection to prevent further influence.

But Barbatos raised Her hand to indicate She was fine and continued. “Unlike naturally generated curse gods, They are… a collection of all subsequent curses. All curses in the universe converged in Them, whether human curses or divine curses, countless curses. All the evil in the universe rushed to Them. They saw Their own filth and ugliness. They hated… hated…”

Barbatos’ voice grew weaker, Her complexion becoming paler. Her eyes seed to see sothing, subtly wavering.

Aelioge imdiately interrupted Barbatos’ train of thought, shouting, “Barbatos, what’s wrong with you.”

Barbatos shook Her head, brows tightly furrowed.

Aelioge reminded, “Don’t get trapped in it. Those are Their emotions.”

Barbatos understood, took a deep breath, and chose to temporarily disconnect the connection. After a long ti, She slowly spoke.

“…I don’t understand Them.”

Aelioge’s gaze was heavy. “What about Them do you not understand?”

“I don’t understand Their madness and obsession.”

Barbatos lowered Her eyes, filled with incomprehension.

Aelioge said solemnly, “Barbatos, there are many incomprehensible things in the world. You don’t need to understand Them.”

“…”

Barbatos remained silent.

“Don’t be influenced by Them.”

Aelioge emphasized again.

“…”

Barbatos paused, Her gaze finally returning sowhat to normal. She raised Her head and said to Aelioge. “Mm, I know. I’m fine now.”

Aelioge’s inner self relaxed, and He asked the main question. “Can you know where They are?”

Barbatos shook Her head. “The connection is very blurry. I don’t know the specific location. It feels like They’re nowhere, yet also everywhere.”

“Probably because evil matter is omnipresent.”

Aelioge asked again. “Are Arnold’s consciousness and the consciousness of the Evil of the Universe confused?”

Barbatos frowned slightly, “Yes, They are almost rged.”

Aelioge continued. “Didn’t Arnold completely die?”

Barbatos nodded. “He didn’t completely die. He’s resisting the evil of the universe. He has his own thoughts and emotions.”

Aelioge, as if having expected this, imdiately asked a key question. “Barbatos, I want to know, who is truly in despair? Whose emotion is the most intense?”

As soon as He finished speaking, the air seed to suffocate.

“…I don’t know. Perhaps both sides.”

Barbatos thought for several minutes before answering.

“Perhaps Arnold was in despair about his unchangeable past.”

Aelioge’s gaze suddenly darkened. “So he wants to change the present?”

“Possibly.”

Barbatos speculated.

But Aelioge beca angry, scolding, “This guy is only trying to make ands now? How shaless.”

“He…”

Barbatos raised Her eyes, seeming to want to say sothing.

Aelioge nodded, saying, “Don’t worry, I won’t draw conclusions so quickly. We’ll have to catch Them to know what’s really going on.”

“Yes.”

A hint of surprise flashed in Barbatos’ eyes because Aelioge was acting too rationally.

But upon careful thought, She found nothing surprising. Aelioge had been a calm and rational demon since childhood, with almost no flaws except for being sowhat scheming.

Aelioge smiled at Her, “I understand the general situation. Thank you, Eighth Sister. Rest a bit. I’ll take it from here.”

Barbatos was slightly stunned, seemingly not expecting Aelioge to be so reliable.

Aelioge continued. “I’ll continue investigating based on Eighth Sister’s intelligence. The advantage is currently on our side.”

His tone carried obvious confidence and determination, making demons involuntarily convinced.

Barbatos was honestly quite tired.

****

A few minutes later.

Aelioge walked out of Barbatos’ domain, reviewing the new information in His mind.

It turned out Arnold really hadn’t died. For over eight thousand years, He had been fighting against the Evil of the Universe.

Evil of the Universe was the universe’s garbage dump, gathering all that was ugly and filthy, especially curses. Because of this, They strongly hated—

What?

Thinking this, Aelioge paused. An answer was about to erge, but that answer was a legend of legends, with its very existence unknown. How could it be?

However, once that concept jumped into Aelioge’s mind, it beca impossible to shake off.

“How could this be…”

He expressed doubt.

At this mont, Bachin suddenly made an urgent call.

“Aelioge! Sothing big has happened.”

Bachin’s voice was agitated and shocked.

Aelioge imdiately answered the private call, and with a finger point, a cosmic scene appeared before Him.

Extre lightning instantly pierced through dozens of stars, electric and brilliant, destroying everything in its path in the blink of an eye. It was terrifyingly horrific, making demons’ hair stand on end.

Aelioge’s pupils trembled, sweating profusely.

Bachin directly revealed. “Big Brother has accelerated! He’ll reach the continent in two or three days at most.”

Aelioge almost suffocated.

“No, how can He accelerate like this? Where’s the sportsmanship?”

Bachin said, “Who knows? Maybe He learned sothing and is rushing ho.”

Aelioge was stunned, montarily choked.

“More importantly, how are your preparations?”

Bachin asked directly.

Aelioge, with cold sweat dripping, staring intently at the terrifying lightning spanning the universe, said seriously, “Almost ready. Three days is enough to prepare.”

Bachin: “Oh? You’re confident?”

Aelioge: “Of course. I am the God of War, after all.”

Bachin laughed, “We’ll see.”

A few seconds later, the connection broke.

Aelioge was silent for a while, battle intent surging in His eyes, firmly stating, “Big Brother, I’m no longer that little demon You could manipulate.”

The brothers and sisters behind

are my most solid and reliable support!

anwhile, in subspace.

The extre sports-loving demon Zepar was sunbathing in the distant cosmic domain, whistling, body buffeted by space storms, leisurely and carefree.

Because He was so relaxed, He had let Himself go. In recent days, perhaps inspired by the cat trend in the group, He had gotten Himself a cat hat, wearing it looking quite cool. He’d also changed into a cat claw shirt and pants, dressed so trendy that if there were a “Universe’s First Trendy Demon” award, He’d dare claim first place without hesitation.

Suddenly, the sun near Him exploded.

The ensuing energy storm swept through the entire domain, horrifyingly.

Huh? What happened?

Zepar was bewildered, quickly looking toward the site of the incident. Within the surging, billowing lightning walked out a man.

His overwhelming demonic power instantly dominated everything!

How could Zepar not recognize Him? This was His Big Brother!

The man suddenly turned, locking His terrifying gaze directly on Zepar.
