Chapter 524 Make The Eighth Earth Yours!
"Yes! Make the Eighth Earth yours! We hell beasts are ranked according to the kind of strength or chaos we can produce. However, that is not the true worth of our ability. We are much more than that.
Each Hell beast has its own unique ability according to its race. They are some with enough unique ability to even create their own subplane.
Mine is the Whistle Horn. With this, you can steal any one item deemed to be treasure in any world every one hundred years.
As long as you have a mental image of it in your head, it is enough."
Lenny frowned a bit, sending his thoughts to the Hell beast. "Why exactly do I have to make the Eighth Earth mine and what exactly are you saying that I have to steal?"
Vandora chuckled a bit, she could tell that Lenny really didn't know much about the world, and it gave her great pleasure knowing that she was impacting knowledge, building her master's disciple.
"Have you ever heard of the Invitation Stones?" She asked.
Instantly, Lenny's frown loosed. Of course, he had heard of the invitation stones. These were used to invite Demons into the Human world, bringing with them the apocalypse.
For each earth's number, there was a corresponding number of stones. this would mean that the first Earth only had one Invitation stone. The Second Earth only had two invitation stones. The Third Earth only had three invitation stones, and so on.
The Eight Earth had eight invitation stones. However, Lenny had only been fortunate enough to ever see one.
And that was the invitation stone that was with Glenn.
"The invitation stones created the path and Master used his own power to tear the veil before The Eighth earth could be invaded," Vandora explained.
"However, the same stones that were used to bring Demons into the Earth earth, can also be used to send them back out.
After which, You could declare the Eighth earth as your own."
Lenny understood the idea of getting the Invitation stones, but he still did not know why he needed to declare the earth his own.
Vandora could clearly see that he needed further explanation. She did not mind telling him a bit more, but she intentionally held back some information from him.
After all, spoon-feeding him everything was not going to help his growth. There were some things that he needed to figure out for himself.
"There are Nine Royal families of Hell. Each with its own layer and domination of hell. However, these families left to make the other worlds theirs.
Each of the other seven earths that have met their apocalypse belongs to a Royal family. The Royal family that has more Earths automatically becomes the rulers of hell and the underworld. Basically, he that has more earths, is King and will Replace Master as lord of the Below."
"if the royal families are fighting for the Eight Earth as of now, then it means that it does not belong to anybody, right?"
"Yes, It doesn't!"
"But that also means that they are royal families without Earths to call their own. I'm right!?"
Vandora nodded, "Yes, you are right, Master's beloved. Ruling the Below is not the right of the Royal Families. As master's beloved, it is your right to rule the below worlds. It is your destiny. And in the process..." Vandora suddenly smiled a menacing smile, "make them pay for what they did to master... Make all of them pay for the suffering they made him go through."
Vandora's voice was filled with emotion as she begged Lenny to avenge the Morningstar.
"But be careful Lenny Tales! The path to Master's throne is not an easy one. It is filled with enemies, rotten corpses, Angels, Dead souls, gods, and demon gods, and who knows..." she paused a bit, in obvious contemplation of whether to say it or not. "...Entities!"
Even Lenny was smart enough to understand that she did not want to mention the last part but still did.
"I am not the only one that has been set on your path to help you. They are others too. But we are hidden. Some, like me, would test you first to see how worthy you are of carrying the Master's title.
Others will actually fight you to take his inheritance from you. Please, do not blame them for this. It's the love for the master that propels their passion. Besides, a bit of it is actually envy.
Just remember that we are your servants and are here to help in whatever way we can."
Lenny nodded. As it was, he was already grateful to Vandora. He had already climbed several ranks in the Deep Demon rank, and his power levels were still climbing.
lenny knew that all this would have taken him a much longer time to achieve. However, in only a few days, he had been battered and pampered with incredible treasures. Some of them were cores of other beasts. There was even the core of a rank one Hell beast.
Also, some of the treasures were broken-down souls of creatures and beings that had died on this land. These souls had been fed to him, deepening his knowledge and understanding about the world and about other things such as cultivation and even fighting techniques.
Each of those souls absorbed came with rich knowledge and experiences, and Lenny digested them all, adding them to his fighting style, incorporating new techniques and polishing his old ones to fit the standard that was required with fighting different races.
That being said, he also learned more about Runes. Unfortunately, he was not able to understand Living Runes.
For the plans he had in his head, Lenny believed that the knowledge of Living runes would help him a lot.
luckily, he now had Vandora who was more than willing to help him.
Naturally, Lenny turned to her for advice.
