Chapter 512: The Strongest Demon
Draven tapped the desk with his finger, debating whether to tell the truth
After thinking it over, he realized it wasn’t such a big deal and wouldn’t really hurt the Alliance.
"We had a way before," he admitted with a heavy sigh.
"Before? What happened then?"
Draven raised his hands, and a golden, round flat object floated in his palm. "This is an ancient artifact that could track almost anything. Unfortunately, it’s broken now,"
Reign’s eyes widened. The function of the object was too tempting, even for him.
his world was vast, and with the presence of Miasma, finding someone who really wanted to hide was nearly impossible.
An artifact like this could be considered priceless and extremely valuable.
’Maybe I can fix it with the system analysis,’
"Can I take a look at the artifact? I might be able to fix it," he offered.
Draven was taken aback. He did not expect the young demon to say something so bold—or stupid. It wasn’t that he doubted his strength; it was more about his age.
Even his own son, who had invented the teleportation portals, studied for decades before daring to create something of that magnitude.
"You think you can fix it?" Draven shook his head. "We’ve spent decades trying to repair this thing without success. That’s why I’m willing to tell you about it—it’s pretty much junk right now."
"If it’s just junk, then why did you ask the others to leave?" Reign raised his eyebrows.
The Demon God let out a chuckle. "It’s exactly because of that reason. The morale of the other demons would drop if they knew we can’t fix this thing."
Reign frowned, crossing his arms as he considered his words.
"So, it’s all about appearances, then?" he said, shaking his head in disbelief. "Hiding the truth won’t help anyone in the long run."
Draven leaned back in his chair. "Sometimes those in power have to lie to maintain order. The only reason I told you about this is that you were an outsider before, so you’re not really attached to this alliance yet."
"So tell me," the Demon God said, his tone sharp. "Why did you really want to join?"
Draven’s question and change in tone caught Reign off guard. He had thought he had completely fooled the old man, but that was far from the truth.
"I want to find and kill Lilith. She took something important from me," he answered, mixing lies with truths.
"Kill her? And why would someone like you do that? After all, you’re the one who helped that devil in the first place," Draven let out a long sighed.
’Fuck, he knew !’
Before Reign could react, he felt his entire body lock in place, as if an invisible hand had seized him.
He tried to break free, but no matter how much strength he exerted, it was useless—the grip only tightened.
Instead of getting angry, Draven raised his index finger, revealing a ring with white gem resting on it.
"This thing allows me to tell if a person is lying and how strong their emotions are. When you said you wanted to kill Lilith and that she took something important from you, it reacted. This means not only were your words true, but you also genuinely meant to kill her."
"Pretty convenient tool," Reign remarked. "Is it safe to assume that each of those rings has different types of powers?"
"You’re right," Draven admitted. "These ten rings are the reason I have the title of the strongest."
"The strongest, huh?" Reign repeated.
That had been his goal since arriving in this world, and now he was face to face with the very person he needed to defeat to claim that title.
"Tell me, between you and Lilith, who do you think would win?"
The Demon God touched his chin, seriously considering the question.
It looked like he was weighing the strengths and weaknesses of both himself and Lilith.
"Before I answer that, do you know what is stronger than a Demon God?" Draven asked.
Reign was puzzled by the question. He knew there was a level above a Demon God, but even the system didn’t name it, so he couldn’t provide an actual answer.
"Nothing specific," he shook his head.
"That’s normal because, theoretically speaking, a Demon God is the peak of power. It’s not that you hit a limit once you get there; you can still grow, but the improvements become much slower and longer to gain,"
"Then does that mean Lilith, who is above the Demon God level, is stronger than you?" Reign inquired.
"If we’re just talking about our base power, then yes, I’m afraid I can’t beat her one-on-one. But..."
Draven paused and raised his hands, clenching them into fists until one of the rings glow.
In an instant, the entire room transformed, and they were teleported above the city for a split seconds before returning to their current location.
"But with my rings, I’m one hundred percent sure I can kill her," he declared with absolute confidence.
This wasn’t a statement born from ego; it came from his deep belief in his own power.
’Now I’m curious about what those other eight rings can do,’
Reign muttered to himself.
