Chapter 402 - 402: Are you, Theo?!

Even before Theo took action. Meref was already on alert. Something that none of his subjects noticed, was that the shadow below him split in two, while one continued with him, the other entered the ground and went to the underground of this gray planet.

'I hope I'm wrong...' Meref thought as he tapped his fingers in a rhythmic fashion on the armband of the throne.

It was then... that a strange event started!

"Die!"

"Fireball!"

"I will avenge my mother's death!"

"Son of a bitch!"

It was surreal, Meref rose from the throne and looked at his subordinates killing himself and could not describe the disbelief he was feeling.

"Stop!" He shouted, but to no avail. It was as if everyone had become deaf.

"Boooom!"

"Boooom!"

"Boooom!"

"Boooom!"

Explosions came from everywhere, whether inside the mansion or outside.

Meref I try to wake up the demons that were being controlled to kill themselves but to no avail. It was something more powerful than him.

Leaving the mansion, he saw hell on earth, fire everywhere, demons killing themselves, even devouring each other.

"Don't be hiding, show up!" Meref shouted angrily. Although he was afraid, he could not bear to see his people killing themselves.

"Hehe. Funny to see you being so nervous, having done similar things or even worse than that." Meref saw an animal in human form with golden hair and fox ears and ten tails, his golden eyes, he was about 190 cm tall. It was low if compared to the demons.

However, the moment Theo appeared, Meref felt his hair stand on end. It was the same feeling or worse than when he came face to face with the ancient Demon Lord who was killed in battle on his ancient planet.

"Are you Theo?!" Meref recalled the information he received from Theo's description.

"Oh! If you hadn't warned me, I would have forgotten~" Theo laughed: "Did you like the "gift" I brought you? What did you think of that, isn't it just too perfect? Isn't it the same "gift" you wanted to give me?"

"Bastard!" Meref clenched his teeth tightly.

Theo looked at the man in front of him and using his divine eyes managed to see through the black aura that enveloped this Demon. What he saw was a big, strong man full of muscles looking like he took asteroids the color of dead gray skin. His eyes were red and his hair was black, he looked at Theo with hatred and resentment.

"Hahaha." Theo laughed even louder and scoffed: "Why are you so angry? I don't understand~"

At that very moment, before Meref's eyes, two demons stabbed themselves with their bare hands wrapped in mana and died.

Theo, who saw everything in slow motion, exclaimed as if he were watching a good movie: "Oh! It was exciting, killing each other at the same time. Mhmm, it is not every day that you can see such an event, this is spectacular!"

"I'll kill you!"

"Boom!"

The floor beneath Meref's feet created a crater under the pressure of his momentum, and he flew into the air towards Theo, seething with rage. His whole body expanded in the purest darkness. It was like a dark night that is filled with dark rain clouds, heading towards Theo.

The size of a ten-story building, a hand came out of the dense darkness towards Theo with the intention of crushing him to death.

Theo was the complete opposite, a divine light expanded from his body, it was the first time that he was using this affinity against someone. The light became blinding, to the point of weakening Meref's darkness.

Although it slowed, Meref's attack continued to move towards Theo.

Theo created something very similar to the buddha's hand and went against Meref's attack.

"BOOOOOOOOOOOM!"

"ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!"

The explosion was loud!

All nearby were dragged away, while the terrain was full of cracks, craters on all sides with a trace of shadow and light.

Booooooooooooooom!"

Meref did poorly in that exchange. He was forced to return to the ground, and his body created a gigantic crater.

Theo, on the other hand, was still flying and looking in the direction Meref fell. It was as if nothing had happened to him. He didn't even show signs of tiredness.

"Tsk, tsk, don't go around saying that you're going to kill me when you don't even have the skills to do that." Theo scoffed as he looked at Meref inside the crater: "Don't you think that is a shameful act if you can't do what you say?"

'It makes no sense! As someone who is clearly in the Spiritual Realm, managed to beat me who is in the Monarch Spiritual Realm?' Meref was disbelieving, he looked at Theo high in the sky with astonishment and fear. He didn't even hear Theo's mockery, all that went through his mind was fear and despair.

He no longer had any doubt that it was Theo who killed Remiton. Everything was clear now, he was wrong when he targeted Theo, but it was too late to regret. He has already brought him this "monster" here who wanted to exterminate his race for having provoked him.

From inside the crater, Meref stared at Theo and it was at that very moment that something strange flashed in his eyes.

The demons' screams and the sounds of ripping flesh and breaking bones were loud, they were everywhere, it wasn't pleasant for Theo, but it didn't affect him either. It was strange, he even had moments that he seemed to like but hated at the same time.

Maybe it's his animal instincts? But has he had this animal "instinct" before? At most, he behaved more like a human than an animal. Sometimes he didn't understand himself very well.

At the sight of them killing themselves, he didn't particularly think about stopping, he just avoided killing children and women. It also made him think that he is on his human side. Since most predatory animals don't care much if their "victim" is a child or woman.

Was he right to do that? Maybe not, but would he stop? The answer is no. Regardless, he wouldn't let his enemy live... He couldn't bear to let his enemy live long, at the very least he would erase all memories, just like he did with Cleopatra.

'Maybe I'm the demon here?' Theo wondered. He was lost in his thoughts until his mind became clear, and a wicked smile formed on his lips, and he started to laugh.

"Hahahaha!"

"Mhmm. This is a good skill, if it were with another one, you could have managed to kill them, but what a pity... My mind is not as weak as you imagined me to be." Theo scoffed when he discovered the trick Meref tried to use on him.

"Damn it!" Meref coughed up a lot of blood as he suffered internal damage from Theo's attack.
