Chapter 310: The Heaven's Chosen... Part-3.
Alverto stared into Fade's frightened eyes and added,
"Originally, I was thinking that you might be the one who had the fragment, but it seems you don't really have it... but now it doesn't matter, actually..."
"I already have three fragments on me now; it doesn't matter if there are more than that; my plan can still proceed with just three of them..."
Alverto has been preparing for two hundred years, and finally he has all the things that he needs in his hand.
"Now I just need to use your luck as the medium, and I will most definitely be able to summon 'It'..."
Fade's body trembled as he asked in a frightened voice,
"W-what do you mean... by u-using me as a medium-"
Alverto shook his head and said with a smile on his face that was hidden beneath the helmet of his armor.
"No, no, I have no interest in your pathetic mortal body; the only thing that's worth noting about you is the concentration of the 'Law of Luck' on you... I just need to extract that from you..."
"Oh, don't worry about whether it's possible or not; I have been preparing for two hundred years, you know; I have everything planned out already..."
Alverto brought out a dark red orb from his space ring, and the orb floated towards Fade's head and started to spin around his head.
If you look close enough, you can see humanoid faces on the orb, as if they are howling and screaming for help.
"This is the 'Luck Devouring orb'.... I created it by sacrificing the souls of the million people that were living in the 'Drift City'... Isn't it quite beautiful?"
"The power of a million souls that are being tortured continuously is embedded in this orb... These souls have been tortured so much that the only purpose left in their existence is hatred for the world..."
"This hatred for the world has given birth to the power of devouring the blessings of the heavens itself... Isn't that quite an interesting ability... It's a direct counter for heaven's children like you..."
Alverto took the golden dagger and stabbed Fade's abdomen again, which caused Fade to groan in pain, and he started to lose his sanity from all that pain.
Just when Fade lost a piece of his sanity, a golden mist was absorbed by the luck devouring the orb.
Alverto nodded his head after seeing that scene and said,
"Yes, as I speculated, the orb can absorb your luck if you lose your sanity in its vicinity... Don't worry, I have tested this orb on plenty of people and none survived the torture for more than a week..."
Alverto contemplated something in his mind and said,
"But you are a child of luck after all; the amount of luck you have is very high. I guess it will take at least three months or something until your luck can be fully extracted..."
"Then I will use your luck as fuel to make 'that' thing appear... I will fulfill my promise and my ambition no matter what..."
*Clap**clap*
Alverto clapped his hands as a signal, and a short lizard-type demon came in with a lot of torturing tools in its four hands.
*Hiss~*
The lizard demon's hissing voice caused Fade to tremble in fear.
But Alverto ignored that and glanced at the lizard demon before saying,
"Torture him thoroughly, but don't let him die... Torture him to the point he loses his sanity and becomes nothing but a living corpse with no will to live..."
The lizard demon nodded its head and followed the instructions, its eyes turning creepily cruel and excited.
Alverto then glanced at Kira, who was still kowtowing on the ground, and said,
"Take this photo of his dead family and keep showing it to him whenever he tries to resist; also, take this space ring; it has a lot of healing potion; heal him back to full health when he is one step away from death..."
"Don't let him die at any cost; I want all of his luck extracted in three months' time... Now get to work..."
Kira got up from the ground, ignored Fade's loud screams, and did exactly as Alverto had ordered her.
Her eyes remained lifeless and hollow throughout the whole process.
Seeing his minions work hard for his sake, Alverto nodded his head and left the metal cage.
Before leaving, he glanced at Fade's crying face and said,
"Don't resist too much, 'Heaven's Chosen'... The faster you lose your sanity, the faster you can escape this pain. Work hard~"
After saying that, Alverto waved his hand and left the dark basement with a satisfied smile on his face that was hidden underneath the armor.
Demon Prince's Palace.
Alverto came flying through the sky and landed on the rooftop of the palace.
He took off his helmet, and his extremely handsome face shone brightly under the moonlight
as he walked towards a certain corner of the rooftop.
A woman with long silver hair and wolf-like ears stood on the corner.
Seeing her stare at the bright moon with a smile on her face, Alverto smiled a bit and stood
beside her.
He glanced at the sky and said,
"I have the final piece of the puzzle now... It won't be long before our dream can be
realized..."
The woman nodded her head, but a look of worry appeared on her face,
"Lately, I feel that something bad is going to happen... Are you sure we will be able to avoid the 'heavenly punishment' even after doing such things to 'The Heaven's Chosen'?"
Alverto shook his head and said it with a smile on his face.
"No worries... As long as we don't try to kill him, the heavenly thunder won't appear; we just
need to keep extracting his luck by keeping him alive..."
"When his luck is almost gone, his connection to the heavenly will shall be destroyed..."
The woman nodded her head at those words and said,
"Still, you need to be careful... We have no room for mistakes; the future of the whole demon
race depends on this. Let's be as cautious as possible..."
Alverto also nodded his head after hearing the woman's words.
"Yeah, I will personally visit him every few days to see the progress... There is no need to
worry too much about it; you just need to focus on the 'Seed of Altered Fate' for now..."
"Don't overwork yourself by thinking about other things..."
The wolf demon nodded her head at Alverto's words of concern, and a smile appeared on her
beautiful face.
"It's been two hundred years... We must succeed in this plan now... This might be the last
chance for the demon race..."
Alverto also nodded his head and agreed with her words.
"Yeah... The density of 'Miasma' is increasing day by day... We can't afford to delay too much...
This is the last chance for us..."
The woman contemplated for a moment and asked,
"We have three fragments now... What about the others?"
Alverto shook his head and said,
"I have tried my best; we can only get three for now... One is likely in the Dragon Empire, and I
can't go there as the Dragon King doesn't tolerate outsiders barging into the Dragon Valley
without permission..."
"Two of them have totally disappeared from existence, and another one is likely not even on this planet... Also, I don't know how many of them there actually are..."
Alverto sighed and said,
"Well, it doesn't matter... Even three fragments are enough to form 'that'... We don't really
need all of them to get our plan working..."
"If we waste too much time collecting the rest of them, the concentration of 'Mana' and
'Miasma' in this world will increase by too much, and we won't have the chance to carry out
our plan..."
A look of hesitation appeared on the woman's face as she said,
"Even if we complete the plan... There's still no guarantee that the increasing amount of
'miasma' will not affect it... but this is our only way..."
Alverto also nodded his head and said,
"Yes, this is the only method. I just hope that the luck of the 'Heaven's Chosen' will work out
in our favor once we have it in our hands... Things will get easier that way..."
The woman also nodded her head and said,
"If only we had heaven's blessing on ourselves, we wouldn't have needed all of this
roundabout method to accomplish our goals..."
Alverto scoffed at those words and said,
"No way... The heavenly luck won't bless 'Invaders' that are us demons... Unlike the other
races, we demons don't belong to this world; we can never enjoy it's blessing...." "The world sees us as cancer, and it's not actually wrong either... Not many things in this world are left that haven't been corrupted by miasma... Obviously, the world will reject us..."
Alverto sighed and stopped talking. He kept looking at the moon and thought,
'This is the last chance for us demons... and I must fulfill my goal...'
