Chapter 186: Strange Emotions
The Incubus System Chapter 186. Strange Emotions
"But the problem is, the crack does not get better but it gets worse. The energy disturbances are getting worse and more frequent, even now other Lord Damon's loyal followers are also helping us out. At least there are dozens of big cracks that appear every day randomly," said Tania again.
'Dozens?' I was shocked since I thought that big cracks only appeared occasionally. While Emma also showed the same expression as me.
"Lord Damon ordered an investigation for the source of the disturbance since he guessed there was another Demon Lord who was trying to break into the human world to expand his/her territory. But all our investigations were in vain. That's why we concluded that the disturbance came from the human world. And regarding about the Demoness' Maid ... That means the other demon lords have started to notice the crack problem and will take the opportunity to expand their territory soon." Tania let out a deep breath. A trace of annoyance on her face.
"I know they will find out about this sooner or later. Moreover, Lord Damon has been covering this up for a year. It's just ... I never think that, despite our hard work, we still haven't found a solution yet."
"Why Lord Damon didn't defeat those demon lords?" I asked curiously. I heard that Lord Damon was the strongest Demon Lord, he should be able to do that, right?
"It's not that easy, Damian. Even though Lord Damon is the sole ruler of Dark Dimension and the Demon Kingdom but the other demon lords keep their eyes on the throne. In other words, even though they are being nice in front of him, behind him, they are ready to kill him at any time. Unfortunately, every Demon Lord has authority over a territory and if he/she died then the demons in that territory will revolt. Therefore, Lord Damon can't kill the demon lords recklessly or the demon world will fall into chaos, " explained Tania.
From her words, I could see that Lord Damon had killed several of those demon Lord's before. It was just, if he killed them all, it would be tantamount to fighting all the demons in the dark dimension.
"Why Lord Damon doesn't replace that demon lord with another loyal demon?" asked Emma out of blue. To be honest, I also just wanted to ask the same thing.
Tania chuckled.
"If you think their positions are the same as mayors or governors in the human world then you are wrong. Some of them are kings or queens of their kind. Therefore their position cannot be replaced by anyone. Some are guardians of the land and territories. If they die then disaster and chaos will hit the land."
"What about Lord Damon? What made him the supreme ruler of the dark dimension?" I asked curiously.
Tania turned to me and looked at me with a serious expression.
My heart suddenly beat fast again. My sorrow and anger flooded my heart and mind more than before. Somehow I could even hear Lilieth's frustrated screams in my ears. I clenched my fists tightly holding back the uncontrollable emotions that suddenly overflowed within me. Even I couldn't cover it from the expression on my face.
Tania fell silent again. Her eyes were observing me. While Emma held my hand and looked at me worriedly.
"Ethan, are you okay?"
I didn't answer, instead, I closed my eyes and took a few deep breaths to calm myself down. After I calmed down, I opened my eyes and unclenched my fists.
"I'm fine ..." Even though it was weird, I could understand this strange emotion since this incident had made a huge wound in Lilieth's heart and maybe it mixed up when she gave her power to me. I meant... Even my mother was so frustrated when she miscarried in her third pregnancy, although she already had me and Celia, let alone Lilieth who had been waiting for this child for hundreds of years.
But then I frowned.
'Huh? How do I know Lilieth and Lord Damon have been waiting for this child for hundreds of years? Is this also one of Lilieth's memories that got mixed up when she revived me? '
"That's all I can tell you." Tania's voice returned my and Emma's attention to her.
Emma looked at Tania in a gloomy face.
"I never thought ... It was the demon lord who protected us ..." she said sadly.
"Can they have another child?" I asked. If Lord Damon didn't have a successor, I could imagine those demon lords fighting each other for that throne and worst of all --- the borders between the demon world and the human world would be destroyed!
"It's not that easy, Damian. Lord Damon's power is enormous. It's not just any woman who can hold his seed and bear his child. It even took hundreds of years for Lilieth to get pregnant," said Tania with a frown.
"Can't we do something about this?" I asked.
Tania shook her head.
"We've done whatever we can. Right now we can only wait ..."
