Chapter 409: Passing the Third Trial; Obtaining the Complete Inheritance

Liora had always been different than other Devils.

Unlike them, who were a blank slate upon being born in the River of Oblivion, Liora had always possessed the memories of her past life.

Although she wasn’t dependent on them or had been significantly influenced by them, this still set her apart from other Devils.

This held advantages, such as the ability to remain rational and resist the call of her bloodline, but had less obvious disadvantages at the same time.

For example, a set of questions had always plagued her mind.

Had she unknowingly been affected by the Will of the Demon World and had thus become who she was today?

Was her yearning to continue to become stronger and reach the apex of the Origin Sea her real, unaffected thoughts, or an idea imposed upon her by the Demon World?

Although she had reached this point and was about to become an Archdevil, Liora had never had an answer to these questions.

"In the first half of ’my’ life, I was unwilling to be ordinary and searched for a meaning in life, even willing to give up my ordinary life in order to do so."

"Even if that meant fighting against the whole world and doing unimaginable evil, ’I’ still did so."

Liora could see that her alternate self had made guesses about who the person influencing her was.

Among her guesses were some that were pretty close to the truth. She believed that she was another person’s clone, or the vessel created for their reincarnation.

Yet, despite guessing that the person trying to replace her was her real self, she still chose to fight to keep her freedom.

"That’s true."

"Even if I were to learn that I was merely a clone, or an imaginary creature living in an illusion, I would still choose to fight back and regain my freedom."

"Only I am the real self. All other ’Lioras’ are fake. A mere imitation of me...
