Reincarnated As The Diabolic System-Chapter 146 145. Jumping Off!
Shane raised his sword and thrust it to the ground as he muttered a familiar spell under his breath. Suddenly, electrical power burst from the earth's core, flying up above the ground and electrocuting the targets directly without stopping. This attack stunned everyone so much that they were still stunned at the end.
Wait, wasn't the demon king supposed to have dark and demonic energy in his veins? This person's attribute was demonic. How could he still use electrical attribute attacks?
This was beyond logic!
Everyone's eyes opened wide as they continued to stare at a familiar demon king, who was smiling while holding the sword with a leisurely attitude.
So in the end, that poison didn't work at all?
After that, the righteous cultivators didn't get another chance to react. All of them ended up being electrocuted to death. By the time the electrical power subsided, only dead, burnt bodies lay on the ground filled with black and blue color. Organs half burnt poking outside the bodies, smelling like dead fish that had been fried up in the fire.
The only people who were alive included Shane and Song Song.
Shane finally put back his sword and turned toward a familiar official. He smiled as he walked closer.
The moment Song Song saw the dmeon king walking over, his face turned pale. How come his years of effrots was wasted just liek that?! He didn't want to lose to this person just yet! He didn't want to go to the punishment realm again!
Even thinking about it sent a chill down his spine. He took a deep breath and stumbled back.
"What do you want?"
"Hmm? Didn't you have a death wish? I'm just trying to make it come true."
Just when Song Song was about to yell, Shane raised his hand and pointed his fingers toward the man's neck. Dark energy burst out of his hands and wrapped around the official's neck, crushing it firmly. The man's face turned even pale as his breathing halted. Veins on his neck jumped as if asking to take a breath. His lungs burn, but the power around his neck kept getting tighter and tighter until his neck broke in a flash.
Song Song's eyes rolled back as he fell to the ground, dead.
Shane looked at the man for a while without a hint of compassion in his eyes. He looked exactly like a demon who had turned evil at this point. His dark eyes stared at the dead body for a moment before he knocked on Hope's door.
"Is it done?"
"Huh? What?" Hope sounded a little out of it before she recovered and cleared her throat. "No. you have to destroy everyone."
"Even the innocents?"
"That…" Hope thought for a while and said, "It's better to convert them."
Shane said nothing after that as he pulled out the demon king's sword and jumped on it before flashing away from the place of that massacre.
After that, what happened was a nightmare for the entire world. A certain demon king seemed to have gotten crazy, as other people say. His body flashed above every cultivation sect as he warned three times, no more, no less. His warning words included:
"If you submit to me and enter the demon realm, you'll be saved."
That's the only thing he said. He didn't even need to elaborate on what would happen once they failed to submit to the demon lord. Still, a few righteous cultivators who were puffed up in their power and egos raised their chins and said, "I'll never submit to you!"
Those cultivators, as well as those who followed them, were all brutally killed, with their organs either burned alive or squeezed using dark power. The first sect that was destroyed faced a terrible fate because none of the righteous cultivators came forward. They couldn't trust the words of an evil person at all.
As a result, Shane let go of his dark, demonic power and entered everyone's veins, making them burst from the inside. It was an instant, painless death. A few people didn't even realize they had died until they stopped breathing.
It was just that the entire sect was full of blood and corpses. Not a single living soul could be found, except for animals.
The other sects had fewer dead bodies as compared to the first one. It was just that the other sects were brutally destroyed, with burned organs hanging onto the main gate.
Shane's body didn't even receive a single scratch. His cold gaze swept past the dead bodies and stopped at those few people who were ready to be converted. To be honest, the people who were ready to move into the demon realm were not even half as many as the ones who got killed.
Shane simply drew a portal in the air as he said, "Enter. You're safe. For now."
The people standing were weak and afraid to die. They didn't even pause to consider what the demon king meant before rushing toward the portal. They didn't want to die under the brutality of that dark power at all!
After everything was done, Shane sighed and leaned against a tree next to him. "Hope, did I do a good job?"
"...." Hope looked around at the carnage and didn't know what to say.
How come she never noticed he had a trace of darkness in his soul itself? She used to believe he was a good guy who had become the way she had seen him all this time due to circumstances. plicated in her heart at this time.
She tried to think of what she should say, but she had no words in her throat. So she just sighed and refused to reply.
"Hmm? You're that speechless?"
"Oh, please, I have massacred even more people than you," Hope blurted out, instantly regretting it.
"Really? When?" Shane got curious about his temporary partner's past.
'Damn it!' Hope thought.
She wouldn't reveal her past to Shane if she wanted to save the future. How ironic that sentence sounded just now!
She directly ignored those words and said, "Your mission si finished. You can eject."
"That means I can die, right?"
"That's right."
"Wait a bit then," said Shane as his body vanished from that place.
He suddenly appeared in his throne room back in his palace, surprising everyone. The ones who had entered through the portal just now were all standing in the hall, facing the throne. Shane looked at them briefly and sat on the throne.
He turned to glance at his ministers and then turned around to find the body's brother. Since he was going to die, he should entrust the throne to someone who deserved it more than him.
He got the throne because he had founded it, but the original demon king didn't deserve it at all. It was the demon king's brother who did all the work instead. So the real king of the demon realm was that brother.
Shane walked down the throne and headed toward the right side, where the body's brother would always sit.
The young man seemed to be in his twenties, but instead, he was actually centuries old. He was surprised to see his elder brother walking over to him. Then he saw his brother take out the jade pendant from his neck and place it on his hands.
Then Shane smiled. "Take care in my absence, okay?"
The brother was shocked as he opened his mouth. Just as he was about to speak, Shane's body disappeared from the throne without a trace.
"Wait!!!" the brother spoke up.
His voice echoed into the hall, but there was no one who could respond to him anymore.
When Shane reached the cliff of a certain mountain, he stopped and said, "Okay, how do you kill me?"
"You sound so strange saying that, you know?" Hope rolled her eyes.
"Just give me some poison."
"Won't work," said Hope. "The demon king has already done everything he should have done to kill himself. You have his memories. You should know better." 𝒇𝐫ℯ𝑒𝒘ℯ𝑏n𝑜ѵ𝐞l.c𝗼𝗺
Shane went silent for a moment before saying, "Then there's only one choice."
He looked down the cliff. There was a reason he came here. This place was called Death Peak and was filled with dark and demonic energies. All the ghosts and monsters scatter down there, waiting for living prey. Even birds didn't dare to pass through here.
So it was understandable why he came here. Even Hope could understand now as her eyes widened.
"No, you're going to make those monsters eat that demonic body! Are you crazy?"
Shane would not have gone insane if he hadn't acquired the memories of a thousand-year-old man. To say he had grown up after receiving those memories wouldn't be a false statement.
He had realized that there was truly nothing in this world that could make you feel satisfied. So why even bother?
He smiled and jumped off the cliff, ignoring Hope's yells and screams in his mind.
