Chapter 474: Chapter 264 “Talent Power” and “Demonic Flame” (Please Subscribe)_2
“Demonic Flame?”
Milton Cheney muttered to himself.
The ability he perceived as ‘Demonic Flame’ was the Talent Power he had acquired after completing his second Transformation.
Before Milton sensed the changes in his body, he had not noticed at all that he had obtained a Talent Power.
After all, there was no memory of this aspect in the inherited memories.
However, the next moment, Milton began to try to mobilize his so-called ‘Demonic Flame’ Talent Power.
But what puzzled Milton was that after he mobilized the Talent Power, nothing happened.
There were no changes to his body, and the environment around him remained unaffected.
Clearly, his Demonic Flame seemed not to have been released.
This made Milton somewhat astonished.
He could be certain that the power of the Demonic Flame truly existed.
After all, it was a Talent Ability he had distinctly felt he possessed after the Transformation of his demon body.
But he himself was unable to mobilize this Talent Ability.
Or to put it better, he did mobilize it, but to no effect.
However, after pondering for a moment, Milton understood the problem.
“Could it be because of the Demon Mother River, which restricts all demons’ Talent Powers?”
This thought emerged in Milton’s mind.
It was the first issue he thought of.
And Milton believed that this conjecture was highly probable.
After all, in the Demon Mother River, different demons were unable to influence each other.
And a demon’s Talent Power could be the catalyst for potential influence among different demons.
Under such a premise, it was highly probable that Talent Powers could not be mobilized within the Demon Mother River.
Of course, although Milton’s conjecture was highly probable, before he could verify the true conclusion, no matter how probable, it was still just his guess.
Fortunately, Milton would soon be able to verify his conjecture.
After all, at this moment, he had become a second-level demon and was about to leave the Demon Mother River.
Milton could clearly sense that the repulsion between him and the Demon Mother River was increasingly strong.
If Milton did not choose to leave the Demon Mother River voluntarily for a long time, he would soon be forcibly exiled from it.
“No wonder demons have to leave the Demon Mother River after becoming second-level demons; demons with Talent Powers are destined to become unstable elements.”
After sensing the changes in his demon body, Milton Cheney talked to himself again.
Perhaps the reasons go beyond that.
After all, there must be a reason why the Demon Mother River has such fundamental rules.
At this moment, Milton was beginning to understand some of these reasons.
Once a demon possessed a Talent Power, even if they left the Demon Mother River for Demon Island, they would have a certain ability to protect themselves.
Perhaps for this reason, demons needed to head to Demon Island after becoming second-level demons in the Demon Mother River.
Time passed slowly, and Milton felt the repulsion between him and the Demon Mother River growing ever deeper.
Therefore, Milton stopped pondering and began to detach from the Demon Mother River in the way described in his memories.
In these inherited memories, there was information on how to proceed to Demon Island.
The next moment, Milton could distinctly sense his demon body beginning to transform.
This transformation was something the former Milton had never felt before.
Milton felt his consciousness involuntarily weaken until he completely lost the sense of its existence.
This experience was somewhat similar to the sensation Milton felt when he deliberately emptied his consciousness, but it was also different.
After all, this was not Milton’s consciousness being intentionally emptied, but rather it being passively pulled along with his body.
Time continued to slip away, an indeterminate amount of time passed.
When Milton’s consciousness was fully restored, he was no longer in the Demon Mother River.
Milton, whose consciousness had returned, subconsciously sensed his surroundings.
The environment around him was utterly unfamiliar. In his perception, everything around him was novel.
“Have I already arrived at Demon Island?”
A thought moved within Milton’s heart.
He began to carefully perceive everything around him.
If nothing unexpected had occurred, then his current location should be within Demon Island in the Crimson World.
At this moment, Milton Cheney felt no discomfort.
The next moment, Milton Cheney began to sense his Demon body.
This perception led to an unexpected discovery.
It was that he could now clearly and intuitively sense his body from the outside.
In other words, after leaving the Demon Mother River and coming here, he had acquired a true physical body.
Previously, Milton Cheney’s perception of himself was almost entirely internal.
It was like a human standing in front of a mirror, but seeing only their bones and organs.
But now it was different.
Milton Cheney was like seeing his external appearance in the mirror.
Previously, Milton Cheney thought that Demons should be like this; after all, Demons are a race completely different from humans, so it was normal for such a situation to occur.
Milton Cheney was also experiencing being reincarnated as a Demon for the first time, so naturally, he didn’t know what real Demons were like.
However, now that Milton Cheney could clearly sense his exterior, he knew there were differences between his reality and his imagination.
And now, what he possessed was a body much like that of a human’s.
Only it was an enlarged version of a human body; in his perception, his height was at least seven or eight meters tall.
His facial features were almost identical to those he had in his previous life in the Wizard Realm.
If this were merely a coincidence, Milton Cheney would not believe it.
Milton Cheney could only attribute it to his consciousness being reincarnated into this world, and consciousness is akin to a human’s soul.
The Demon body he had in this world was housing his soul from his previous life.
Therefore, his facial features were nearly indistinguishable from when he was in the Wizard Realm.
However, Milton Cheney didn’t care what his appearance was like.
After arriving on Demon Island, what concerned Milton Cheney more were the other Demons on the island.
Yet, in this moment of perception, Milton Cheney did not detect the presence of any other Demons on the island.
Of course, this did not mean there were no other Demons here.
Perhaps it was only because the area where he appeared happened to have no other Demons.
“Ultimately, Demons exist with bodies resembling those of humans; is there a deeper meaning to this?”
“When I was reincarnated in the True Spirit Realm, becoming a True Spirit Body, I also transformed into a body similar to that of a human; this can’t just be a simple coincidence.”
At this moment, Milton Cheney muttered to himself.
If once could be a coincidence, then the commonality in two different worlds could not be merely a simple coincidence.
Could it be that all life in every world ultimately evolves towards the direction of humans?
A thought like this suddenly emerged in Milton Cheney’s mind.
If it wasn’t a coincidence, then there must be a reason.
Unless humans are the most perfect race, why would all races ultimately gravitate towards humans?
Of course, this speculation was a bit too grand.
At least, for now, it was absolutely impossible for Milton Cheney to verify this conjecture.
So, Milton Cheney didn’t continue to ponder on it.
Instead, with a thought, he began to try to call upon the Talent Power he had after completing the second Transformation.
That was the ‘Demonic Flame’ power.
The next moment, a black flame hovered out of thin air in front of Milton Cheney.
This black flame emanated a strange aura and seemed to have no temperature at all.
At least Milton Cheney could not sense the temperature of the flame.
This black flame had major differences from the flames Milton Cheney understood.
“Indeed, it’s because of the Demon Mother River.”
“After coming to Demon Island, Talent Powers can be normally summoned and used.”
At this moment, Milton Cheney confirmed his previous conjecture.
The pitch-black flame gradually dissipated in front of Milton Cheney.
