I.. Am God?-Chapter 21 Xuan, A Legend Of Hell
The years have flown by inside the Hell domain. Countless demons rose and warred against each other to compete for ascending.
Currently, there are 17 Dukes of Hell. They govern their respective areas and warred for territories.
When Xuan saw the state of the domain, he was stunned speechless. The situation in the surroundings was very messy.
"What I want you to do is to learn how to fight here. I made you come to me when you reached the Saint Stage as once you are in that stage, your soul and body will be incorruptible if you don't allow it." Matthias finally revealed his mission for Xuan.
"So I could go fight anyone I want?" Xuan's eyes lit up.
"You could. If you have the ability that is." Matthias grinned. "Your power will be limited to an Ascension Stage Expert. If you want to unlock the seals on your cultivation, fight and defeat more demons. If you die, you will be reincarnated from the crystal and your cultivation will be sealed by one minor realm. You will spend your time like that for 200 years."
"After that, I'll be going there to pick you up. Good luck!" Matthias smiled innocently, but Xuan shuddered.
Xuan wanted to ask some things but Matthias didn't give him a chance to talk and directly left Hell.
When Matthias stepped on the platform, he opened the independent space panel and accelerated time to two hundred years. After doing so, the orb near the platform spun madly and stopped after ten seconds.
Matthias opened the portal and entered it, and what his eyes met was a huge eastern-like city. Statues of Xuan decorated the city square.
"I told him to fight, not establish a civilization in hell!" Matthias gawked at the sight of demons selling stones, demon jades and meat skewers.
"Where is this?" Matthias asked one of the demons.
"Oh, you're new? This is the city of Xuan that is dedicated to the great ruler!" The demon answered him enthusiastically. 𝙛𝑟𝑒e𝘸𝑒𝗯𝘯𝗼𝘃el.𝒄𝒐m
"Oh? Tell me about him."
"Oh, you're really new in hell? Well, here's the thing. Lord Xuan arrived here 200 years ago. He directly fought demons and strengthened himself very quickly. He faced countless War Demons and Chaos Demons that were known to be very strong."
"Years later, he dominated a small part of Duke Siron the Flame Demon. To quell the anger of many, Duke Siron sent his generals to kill him. The generals and Lord Xuan fought for days but the generals eventually won."
"A year later, Lord Xuan reappeared and fought the generals that attacked him. He emerged victorious and successfully earned the ire of Duke Siron. He sent his whole army to kill Lord Xuan but they were defeated. Lord Xuan just became too strong and he dominated the battlefield."
"Duke Siron then personally got down to eliminate the lord. Lord Xuan and Duke Siron fought and Lord Xuan won by a small margin and killed Duke Siron, directly seizing his throne.
"Lord Xuan was said to only love the battlefield so he disassembled the Siron Dukedom. He then started his journey to challenge all dukes and destroy their domains!"
"In his 133rd year, eventually, all the Dukes started to band together to stop him except for Duke Mul'tas. It was said that the Duke personally submitted to Lord Xuan." When the demon reached that part, Matthias nodded approvingly, 'I guess Grombash sensed my aura on Xuan.'
"Then?" Matthias asked the demon to continue.
"Lord Xuan, Duke Mul'tas, and his generals were eventually hunted down by the 16 Dukes, 20 Marquises, 29 Counts, 47 Viscounts, and 66 Barons. They struggled for sixty years to fight them, sometimes killing the majority of them." Matthias nodded proudly.
"Eventually, the two lords with their men emerged victorious in their fight where the ignoble demons gathered their army to get rid of them, trying to trap them forever in the summoning platform."
"Lord Xuan became a huge and long beast to surprise them and he lunged at them in his human form. He formed a long spear that was filled with an aura of dominance and slashed all of them. Duke Mul'tas appeared at the back and slaughtered the army indiscriminately. The underlings of Mul'tas charged at the army with burning fervor."
"The people of the Abyss were amazed by the feat. They crowned Xuan as a Prince-Rank demon but, without the blessings of Hell, he could only become a Pseudo Prince."
"Cities were built to honor Lord Xuan and his men. Now, you are in Xuan City, the capital of Xuan Princedom." The demon finished telling the story but he was still bedazzled dreaming about Xuan.
"Now, that's legendary." Matthias laughed. He flew to a high mountain and searched for Xuan, and found him north.
Xuan was teaching seven small demons how to fight by making them charge at him. Xuan was just playing around when he sensed Matthias' aura.
He looked up in the sky, finding a floating man above. "Father!" He cried out and flew towards him. He then cupped his fist and bowed.
"Mhm. You are good. You have made me proud." He answered.
"Thank you."
"Could you introduce me to those little brats?" Matthias asked. "Sure!" Xuan chirped happily.
They descended and on the ground, there were seven small demons.
"This is Kiphos, a War Demon that is proficient in the arts of the spear. I found him when Duke Mul'tas introduced me to his domain." A little brat with small horns and tusks that resembles that of an orc bowed towards him, "Grandmaster."
"This is Halos, an orphan demon of the Chaos Demons who was said to have an impure bloodline." A blue demon with red eyes looked submissively towards Matthias.
"Aneros, one of the three sons of a Flame Demon that submitted to me."
"Sultos, second of the three sons."
"Silmeios, youngest of the three sons."
"Malfios, son of General Guldas under Duke Mul'tas. He is a War Demon that has huge potential."
"And this is Meldo Rudimus, a human. I really don't know why he is still in hell. He was even reluctant to hurt me at first! He's so kind!" Xuan exclaimed when he reached Meldo and ruffled the brat's hair.
"Good disciples you have here, Xuan." Matthias patted the dragon man's back.
"Thank you, Father." Xuan bowed once more.
"Now, let us go back to the overworld. As your training is already finished, we should go back. And as a reward for you becoming a legend in hell, I'm letting Meldos go with you." Matthias smiled.
"Really? How about the others?" Xuan asked hopefully.
"They are demons, and their home is hell. Going up there will be messy. And your next mission is to travel the worlds below. You should travel and if you found someone you love, you could do anything. But best give me a grandson. Just do whatever you want in those seventy worlds." Matthias answered.
"I'm descending to the lower worlds? Affirmative, Father." Xuan approved. "Then let's go!" Matthias waved his hand and entered the portal to Alphan.
