About nearly ten thousand years ago, when the world effect of this world was not so perfect, an unknown low-level demon accidentally came to this world through the Gate of the Abyss.
Such new worlds are being born every day in all realms, so discovering a new world is actually nothing new.
But as more and more demons broke into the world, it began to become chaotic.
There are actually quite a few worlds with purgatory spaces, but it is quite rare for a world with such a large purgatory space to exist. After entering here, many demons regard it as a new territory and live and establish it here. They entered the lair and fought with each other for territory and hunting land, making the place a mess.
The demons frequently traveled between the abyss and the purgatory space here, and soon attracted the attention of the angels, so they began to come to this world frequently to continue the eternal war with the demons.
The kingdom of heaven will never be destroyed, the angels will never rest, the abyss will never be empty, and the devil will never stop. This is the so-called eternal war.
The two sides regarded this newly discovered world as a new battlefield and began to fight back and forth. This time was approximately nine thousand years ago.
It was in this world that Sparta came to this world. At that time, he was not a demon lord, but just a relatively powerful high-level insect-type demon. After coming to this world, he not only fought with angels, At the same time, he was also at war with his fellow demons due to the chaos in the demon world.
Until one day, Sparta encountered an... extremely ugly demon with strange behavior!
At that time, this strange demon was standing next to an angel he had just killed. However, the strange thing was that he did not devour the soul of the angel and tear up the body after killing the angel like other demons. Instead, the demon stood beside the angel's body, caressing and licking the angel's body intoxicatedly.
The bodies of angels with pure blood will turn into light and disappear after death, but artificial angels will leave their bodies of flesh and blood. The angel in front of you is an artificial angel.
Sparta was very surprised at the time, so he hid aside and watched secretly. Then he discovered that after a while, this strange and ugly demon actually tore off the angel's wings and put the two white wings on his back. , and then started skinning the angel again! It seems that he wants to wear the angel's skin on himself.
Sparta was very puzzled. He could not understand the behavior of this demon, so he couldn't help standing up and questioning him.
However, what he didn't expect was that the demon seemed a little angry at the time and launched an attack on Sparta. After the fight, Sparta discovered that this strange demon was actually very powerful and was already at the level of a demon lord. Sparta Da was just no match for him at that time and was defeated by this demon.
But after defeating him, the demon did not kill him, but let him go, but on the condition that Sparta obeyed him.
Submitting to the strong is a normal thing for a demon. Sparta didn't think too much at the time and followed the demon.
Needless to say, this strange demon was naturally Mundus. After conquering Sparta, Mundus led Sparta to start a war in the demon world, and began to try to unify the demons in the entire demon world and cooperate with the angels. They fight.
During the battle, Mundus would only show up to take action unless he encountered an opponent of the same level. Otherwise, it would be left to Sparta to deal with it. Mundus would hide behind the scenes most of the time. , rarely appearing in front of his demonic minions.
After following Mundus for a longer time, Sparta discovered that Mundus seemed to have a morbid fascination with the appearance of angels. He hated his original demon form very much. After all, in Sparta If it can be called ugly in the eyes of other demons, Mundus's appearance is equally ugly in the eyes of other demons.
Even demons find it ugly. You can imagine how strange Mundus's demon form is. It can be said that Mundus at that time was a strange species among demons... So Sparta can understand what Mundus wants. The psychology of concealing one's appearance, although I think it is strange that this guy wants to turn himself into an angel, but who makes Mundus strong? For a devil, one strong person can cover up all the ugly, as long as the boss is strong enough. , as for any special habits, Sparta has nothing to do with it.
In those years, although humans in this world had been born, they were still living in a state of living like hair and drinking blood, and were not taken seriously by the demons at all. To the demons, the human souls at that time were no different from animal spirits. , can only be used as a way to supplement food. The main opponents of demons in this world are angels.
In the thousands of years of continuous battles, Sparta became stronger and stronger. He surpassed the limitations of the upper demon, completed the promotion ceremony, and became the demon lord, while Mundus progressed slowly, although the same He was getting stronger, but as time passed, the gap between him and Sparta was shrinking.
With the help of Sparta, Mundus defeated the other demon lords in the demon world and unified the entire demon world. However, since Mundus spent most of his time hiding behind the scenes, gradually among the demons, Sparta, the demon lord, The reputation of the swordsman has begun to overshadow that of Mundus.
Sparta didn't feel anything was wrong at the time. He still regarded himself as Mundus' subordinate and fought for Mundus. However, Mundus became more and more anxious.
Because... Mundus' path to becoming the Demon King was not smooth.
All demon lords want to become demon kings, but it is hundreds of times more difficult for demon lords to be promoted to demon kings than for upper-level demons to be promoted to demon lords. Thousands of years have passed, and the demon world has been unified, but Mundus' hope of becoming a demon king still remains. Very few.
Then one day, Mundus suddenly disappeared.
No one knew where he went. Mundus came back about ten years later. The period of his disappearance was not too long for the devil, so Sparta and his subordinates did not find it strange. At that time, the war between demons and angels was still going on, and Mundus' demon army was still operating according to inertia, without any accidents.
However, from the day Mundus returned after disappearing, he gradually began to become more and more powerful.
As time passed, Mundus's magic power made a huge leap forward, far surpassing that of demon lords like Sparta and the others, and his soul also began to undergo qualitative changes.
Demon lords are called demigods, and their biggest symbol is physical immortality. The first level demon king will go one step further and become immortal souls, becoming truly immortal. Mundus was transforming into this form at the time.
It can be said that once Mundus obtains the power of "authority", he will become a true demon king and become as powerful as a god.
This is also the reason why many demon kings are called 'devils'...
The powerful power that Mundus occasionally displayed made the demons in the demon world rejoice, including Sparta. They looked forward to Mundus becoming the real devil and leading them to attack the kingdom of heaven.
The development of things did not exceed the expectations of the demons. The angels were retreating steadily. Seeing that the eternal war in this world was about to end, the demons would win the final victory.
But at this time, Sparta discovered some anomalies.
As Mundus' right-hand man, Sparta has always been a front-line general, the one who leads the most troops. In the past, Sparta could often see some familiar faces among his troops. The so-called familiar faces The face means: Even if these demon subordinates are killed in the battle, it won't be long before they return here from the abyss world and continue to join the battle.
As long as their souls are not purified and destroyed by the angels, these demons will definitely come back.
Gradually, however, Sparta found that these familiar faces became fewer and fewer.
At first, Sparta didn't think too much, thinking that those familiar faces were just completely killed by the angels and could not come back. But as time went by, he found that something was wrong. The familiar faces that disappeared were too... too much!
Suspicious in his heart, Sparta naturally wanted to investigate what was going on. As the investigation unfolded, Sparta discovered a surprising situation: the Ouroboros mark among the demon group was gradually disappearing!
Originally, the Ouroboros mark was engraved in the soul at the moment of passing through the gate of the abyss. For thousands of years, the demons have long been accustomed to it and have become like instinct. Therefore, many times, the demons I never deliberately check the Ouroboros mark deep in my soul.
This resulted in the demons not being aware of the disappearance of the Ouroboros mark deep in their souls, and the same was true for Sparta himself. If he had not deliberately checked, he would not have realized that this was happening.
Losing the protection of the Ouroboros mark is equivalent to losing the protection of the abyss world. After the demons are killed, their souls cannot accurately return to the abyss world, but will fall into the space turbulence at the moment of return. Completely erased!
After discovering this situation, Sparta was naturally very surprised, so he began to investigate the reason for the disappearance of the Ouroboros mark. After searching around, he was shocked to find that the Ouroboros mark given to the demons by the abyss was not inexplicable. disappeared, but because these Ouroboros marks were gathered together by someone.
This person is naturally their boss Mundus...
Only then did Sparta understand why Mundus had become so powerful in recent years. This was because he used some special means to concentrate the Ouroboros marks belonging to thousands of demons onto just one person. Got it! His so-called soul immortality was achieved by plundering the marks of other demons!
The angry Sparta abandoned the troops he led, found Mundus alone, and questioned him. However, Mundus, who was exposed, also knew that his method of plundering other demon marks to achieve immortal souls could He said that he had violated the taboo of the abyss. Once the matter was revealed, he would probably be attacked by other demons. Therefore, Mundus immediately began to silence Sparta who discovered the truth of the matter.
At this point in time, it happened to be two thousand years ago. At this time, other subordinates of Mundus proposed to attack the human world and plunder a large number of souls. However, since the angel side has not yet been completely defeated at this time, if they are distracted at this time , it is very likely to give the Angels a chance to breathe, so it was rejected by Sparta.
Therefore, Mundus said nothing about Sparta's questioning, but instead falsely accused Sparta of siding with mankind and betraying his compatriots.
Two thousand years ago, at that time, humans in this world were still in a slave society and were still in ignorance. Only Sparta would stand on the side of humans if they were crazy...
This excuse can be said to be full of flaws, but after all, Mundus was the ruler of the Demon World at the time, and no one dared to refute his words. In this way, Sparta became the traitor in his mouth, and the entire demon army in the Demon World was betrayed by Mundus. Sparta came, intending to encircle and kill Sparta...
Sparta was also very aggressive at the time. Facing the demon army under Mundus, he not only did not retreat, but went forward. After breaking through the demon army's defense line, he rushed into the Demon King's Palace alone and found the demon king. On to Mundus.
Mundus's unique way of becoming a Demon King is not a true Demon King. What's more important is that Sparta also has one of Mundus' most critical weaknesses!
He knew Mundus' true name...
