Amnesiac Devil Sovereign
🕑 Added 2024-04-24 07:08:17 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 212 ---
"D-DEVIL!" The Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign cried out in fear.
Although the Devil Sovereign was much bigger than Yu Long, he acted like a defenseless kitten before the latter. It was entertaining to see because the contrast is just too much.
'Isn't this guy too cowardly?' Cang Yue smiled a little while staring at the trembling Devil Sovereign.
Xia Qingyue stared at the Devil Sovereign silently and used her Heart of Snow Glazed Glass, finding something interesting about the nearly five-meter-tall devil.
"Well, Yu Long should have realized the problem." Xia Qingyue mumbled to herself.
Meanwhile, Yu Long scratched his cheek awkwardly. Even though he had expected a reaction from the Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign, he didn't expect it to be this extreme.
Maybe he beat the Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign a bit too much?
The trembling Devil Sovereign looks nothing like his former self.
Yu Long stared at the Devil Sovereign's eyes and commented, "There is a sign of amnesia. Hmm, cutting the connection between you and the Evil Infant caused such an effect."
"This is still within my expectation because you're completely a different person after becoming the Evil Infant's host. Yes, someone with the same soul but a different mind and goal. Unfortunately, I can't fix your lost portion of your soul."
"So your reaction earlier is similar to muscle memory toward me." Yu Long smiled wryly. "I left too much impression in our fight yesterday."
"Hey, do you remember your name?"
The Devil Sovereign still trembled, "Name? I-I can't remember."
"What about your family members, like your wife or son?"
"I don't know..." The Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign clutched his head and groaned in pain.
The Devil Prince within the Primordial Sin Divine Sword puts on a pained expression because it looks like his father is forgetting everything. He could only sigh at their horrible fate.
'At the very least, my father could keep his life.' Jin thought about the positive side of this mess.
"Maybe Shizu can help?" Cang Yue blurted casually.
Xia Qingyue glanced at her weirdly.
"What?" Cang Yue defensively added. "Isn't Shizu helping Ling Zhiyun recover her existence with a snap of a finger not too long ago? Helping the Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign should be easy."
"Yu Long, tell her." Xia Qingyue sighed helplessly. "You're keeping too many secrets from us."
Yu Long dodged Cang Yue's laser-like gaze, "Well, you see... Shizu might be the all-mighty Ancestral God, but she is still my Kaiju at the end of the day."
"And All Kaiju's ability stemmed from me."
"Shizu is the extension of my [Kaiju Maker] and not as omnipotent as you think. Her limit is my limit, and vice versa." He coughed to dispel Cang Yue's suspicion.
"Oh, yeah. Shizu still possesses more knowledge about Primal Chaos than me."
"This..." Cang Yue's eyes widened in shock. "S-So, you're the one who was paying the price?"
"I don't know how much you had to pay to fix Ling Zhiyun's existence, but why are you putting yourself in that situation?"
Xia Qingyue grabbed Cang Yue's shoulder, "Sister-!"
"Be quiet, Qingyue. I'm talking with Yu Long right now!" Cang Yue lashed out.
"Then, listen to me first." Xia Qingyue increased the strength of her grip on Cang Yue's shoulder. "Yu Long is fine."
"He wouldn't do anything reckless and risk himself in the process."
Cang Yue pouted, "But he should have told us..."
"He's going to tell us... Right, Yu Long?"
"Yeah." Yu Long bitterly nodded and explained how Shizu's powers work by spending a certain percentage of his vitality. At the time, he spent around 9-11% of his vitality to recover Ling Zhiyun's existence.
9-11% is still an acceptable range. And it is a fair exchange.
Meanwhile, the problem with the Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign is that his soul's condition is similar to the Divine Phoenix Empire's Phoenix God, which is on the verge of dying but still holding on.
In the Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign's case, his weakened soul is torn and held on by his powerful physique.
It's like a strong vessel that keeps a few drops of water.
Maybe it's just how the Devil's Body functions, but that's what happened to the Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign right now.
Even if Yu Long spent half of his vitality, he couldn't recover anything from the Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign. Unless. Yes, unless Yu Long turned the Devil Sovereign into his Kaiju.
And that still doesn't guarantee the Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign cures his amnesia.
Cang Yue crossed her arms, "You shouldn't have kept such information from us. You're going to get punished, mister. No clapping tonight."
"The same goes with Xia Qingyue and others. We are off-limits tonight."
"Okay." Yu Long accepted the punishment. Honestly, the punishment is light.
He could tell Cang Yue was just worried for his well-being.
On the side, Xia Qingyue narrowed her eyes because she knew Cang Yue was playing a character. The Blue Wind Empire's Princess is sucker for Yu Long's love, and doing this would win his affection.
Off-limit?
No, Cang Yue is just tired from their recent session. She couldn't handle Yu Long's stamina.
'Hehe, who am I to judge? I'm also a sucker for Yu Long'.' Xia Qingyue curved her lips and blinked her pretty eyes.
Aih, politics between wives is complicated.
"Um..." Someone slowly raised his hand.
It was the forgotten Devil Sovereign.
"So, can you help me, Sir?" He looked at Yu Long.
Yu Long shook his head gently and answered straightforwardly, "I can't for now, but I know your son. He should be able to answer some of your confusion."
"Where is he? Where is my son?" The Devil Sovereign's eyes lit up in excitement as he looked around vigorously.
Yu Long lifted his hand and telekinetically called the Primordial Sin Divine Sword into his grip, "Here. Your son is inside this sword."
"We will leave, and you can talk with your son in the meantime."
"After that, you can decide. To follow me or not." He confidently added.
"Hello, father." Jin's voice comes from the sword.
"Son, is that you?" The Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign might have lost his memory, but Jin's voice stirred warmth in his heart. He was happy because he still had a family member.
"Yes, it's me." Jin is also happy because his father still remembers him instinctively.
As their reunion began, Yu Long pulled Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue into the background. They went to the house near the lake where Feng Xue'er used to stay before Pandora's invasion, which surprisingly didn't get destroyed, and made tea there.
Yu Long looked at the dilapidated frozen lake and remembered he had Xuanyuan Yufeng's body in the Sky Poison Pearl.
He froze the poor woman from dying and wanted to see the modification that Pandora had made to her.
"I will meditate. Wake me up when the Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign and Jin have decided to knock on our door." Yu Long said before closing his eyes.
Watching Yu Long meditate, Xia Qingyue put on a meaningful smile for Cang Yue and commented, "That was such a well-planned response earlier, Sister Xueruo."
"You even used me in your 'fake' anger."
Cang Yue grinned playfully, "My anger is not fake."
"I'm just a little mad, that is."
"A little, huh?" Xia Qingyue sipped her tea.
"Yup, a little." Cang Yue followed while sipping her tea as well.
...
Sky Poison Pearl's Dimension.
Yu Long arrived at the Sky Poison Pearl's Dimension and saw Jasmine sleeping soundlessly on her bed. He smiled and approached the scarlet-haired princess, looking at her adorable sleeping face.
He tucked her blanket and put an energy barrier around the bed so his experiment wouldn't disturb her slumber.
Yu Long turned around and looked for Xuanyuan Yufeng.
Unknown to Yu Long, Jasmine's mouth parted slightly as soon as he left and whispered, "Yu Long, please don't stop..."
"Yu Long, yes. Yes, I love you~!"
