Construction of Midas’ den was going along quite nicely!
She had already managed to dig out a large pit in the centre of the barrier and had made use of her heavy, busty (snake) body to ensure all the sand was nicely packed together. Sprinkling it with water cost her hardly any Qi as well so she already had some nice and fertile sand; it wasn’t like this stuff wasn’t able to grow plants. According to Mrs {Demon God of Knowledge} the sand sold very well to other large Sects due to how fertile it could be with a little processing; though good quality [Qi Water] was required. But if one considers that Midas’ water she recently named [Eulogy Oasis Water] was basically another cheat item for a regular cultivator…
She had no issues with that front.
Of course, it was hard to get plants that actually look good in the middle of nowhere but it was cheap enough to ste- ‘borrow’ some ‘regular’ grass seeds. Where she ‘borrowed’ it from will be left to the imagination for now (until the sun from above begins to angrily squawk at her) - Midas wasn’t worried about that though. Afterall she also ‘borrowed’ them from the feathered embodiment of eternity and even managed to also ‘borrow’ from the furry glowing embodiments of pride as well as steroid abuse. The {Radiant Lions} weren’t exactly birds though so they had no seeds but they had plenty of meat that managed to allow her to hit the peak of Core Formation just from devouring it.
<Finally a proper meal from my poor little stomach~! Power is nice and all but swallowing a whole elephant thing hole and letting it slowly dissolve inside of me? Now that is pleasure~! Those Lions really were buff though - I mean like wow - hopefully the steroid abuse doesn’t shrink their dicks ohohoho~! No wonder nobody can locate them though since they all must be in the {Heavenly Realm} except for the {True Hero} himself who plays house down here with the Mortals… Technically I’m not better though as I plan to literally milk them for cash ohohoho~!
Anyways~ my fellow {Heavenly Beasts} sure are lax in security but I suppose this amount of crop and meat hardly matters to them as they only have them for the sake of it. Like how humans don’t guard their redlight districts more than surface level; also probably didn’t expect anything to even be able or dare attack them. As far as they know they’re the only {Heavenly Beasts} afterall and they’re all very chummy. {Sovereign of Beasts} and {Sovereign of Storms} literally being knight siblings or something - not sure the exact situation since I don’t care about all that ‘honor’ stuff… A man in armour is quite appealing though ohohoho~!
It did act as a nice chance to see just how impressive my eyes are; sure enough they are both my perfect weapon and defense. It’s a good thing I have them sealed most of the time or the big wigs may get angry I made everyone into my puppet ohohoho~!>
<| Initializing <Response>{I wouldn’t fight for you… Violet may though as she is someone who appreciates favours and wouldn’t see it as a big deal. Where it’s what you did or fighting everyone else. Then again unless it involves her direct blood relatives and Oni she doesn’t see anything as a big deal; that’ll happen if you can ignore lifespan rules since even reality is too afraid to tell her she ran out 300 years ago.} |>
<Huh… What have I done to->
<| Initializing <Response>{Your presence enough greatly helps demons and you should be aware of why anyway.} |>
<Demons don’t like it but they certainly like deals ohohoho~! Question though - how come there are way less {Demon Gods} if the {Demon Realm} is not only stronger but more vast in both numbers and size? The {Heavenly Realm} makes sense since it’s basically a stretched out graveyard that only recently has received an overseer to maintain it. The {Demon Realm} on the other hand should have no obstacles for growth except the usual.>
<| Initializing <Response>{I should have shared more about this in the initial packet - fair enough since I’m part Demonic myself. Oh well, I’ll just inform you now. ‘Demonic Cultivation’ comes in two forms but unlike humans the Qi form is not able to be relied upon and is more like Weapon Cultivation to them; it’s actually rather rare for a demon to cultivate Qi directly as they have few techniques of their own. Most of the time they have to use techniques from their non-demonic counterparts that become corrupted by their demonic nature - this also makes it so they fall under Aunt Sohn-Tochter’ jurisdiction not Violet’s. Since it doesn’t actually enhance their demonic nature though they don’t increase their Existence Ranking even if they earn another Dao from it.
Does greatly enhance their combat though demons aren’t exactly known for sharing and breaking into the {Mortal Realm} is… Rare to say the least. Even if they manage to do that it may be in a universe or planet that doesn’t cultivate; even if they do cultivate where they arrived the chance of obtaining a technique when some humans struggle to do the same…
Though it’s possible to steal one that would require getting lucky with a rogue cultivator, mechant convoy, attacking a city or even a sect. Not impossible but definitely far more difficult plus it likely wouldn’t be a good one.
Instead they are all required to enhance their [Demonic Dao Heart] they are born with which is not only far harder… But also more dangerous. It’s why only [Demonic Cultivation Techniques] over Earth Rank are truly Demonic Cultivation and allow for transformation into a demonic entity but those ranked techniques also attract the most brutal tribulation; {Nakara Tribulation of 6 Freezing &/or 6 Boiling Wind Tribulation}.
It is random which of the 12 Winds one gets but the highest level will boil one's soul or freeze it in its entirety. The higher one's cultivation in their Demonic Existence Rank the more rounds of tribulation one will go under - if they get real unlucky it may freeze then boil them causing them to explode.
Few could survive that without being Violet or Venus’ descendent.
Tribulations being one of the few ways to permanently kill a demon; few actually try to increase their rank beyond Demon Rank. As confusing as it may be this is akin to their rank 2 in existence but they’re so strong their rank two is akin to a Core Formation by itself; in other words a high potential Demon would be about as strong as you were in Rank 2.
This tribulation is so strong though because it was produced when Violet’s {True Wrath} breathed in and out six times each. This happened after it truly began the {Second Great War} by burrowing it’s way out of the cycle of reincarnation into what would become the {Demon Realm}.
After doing those breaths began… Have you ever seen Doom? Imagine that but it’s the {True Demon} & {Hannya Demon} against the gods; music and all. You’ve seen the {Heavenly Realm} so I needn’t explain it more than that.} |>
<... They were made again. I think I miss heard.>
Midas’ very thoughts turned completely different - the sultry style she gained as an Amphiptere and the ‘swinder from earth’ were nowhere to be seen. Instead it sounded more akin to a tyrannical king asking a fearful messenger if they really reported something that could destabilize their ironclad rule. In truth it was something very much akin to that.
<| Initializing <Response>{Violet is kind of a badass - she did make an entire realm afterall.} |>
Midas could somehow feel the overwhelming pride and smugness in the robotic voice of the System. Though if one of your moms (one of the three that contributed their DNA to your creation in other words) could do something like that would you not be just as smug? Midas couldn’t exactly blame the Multi-headed god for her behaviour.
Even so there was none of the usual banter but instead a cruel and cold calcultive persona that would casually order the beheading of their own child if that child made an attempt for their throne. Clearly very different from anything that appeared before; even then the System gave no queries to the sudden change in personality. Compared to the observable (if quick) change that occurred from swindler to slut.
It knew where this ‘persona’ came from afterall.
<So all those undead…>
<| Initializing <Response>{Yes.}
>Initializing <Response>{All of them.}
>Initializing <Response>{The entire {Heavenly Realm} worth.}
>Initializing <Response>{Every last one.} |>
<... Oh~? Well it’s nice to know that we have such a powerful supporter Ohohoho~!>
After a brief pause Midas was fully back in full swing with her sultry tone attached to even her own thoughts.
<| Initializing <Response>{In a few years - maybe even one. Most of the war was taken up trying to stop Violet from continuing to kill everything else.} |>
And Midas was gone again...
<How is that plausible! With such power maybe my own power could be ignored, no that can’t be so! For not even I, the supreme possessor absolute {Primordial Tyrant Soul - Dea-}!>
<| Initializing <Response>{Your character is slipping; be careful since Elizabeth is always watching people who gain her interest. With a mind as purposely twisted by their own lies as yours to not gain her interest...} |>
<I have no idea what you are talking about ohohoho~!>
With that reminder from System Midas decided she was done with questions for now; Violet was a wormhole of ‘how the fuck does that work’ that not even she was prepared for apparently. The giant snake just hissed out loud in a defeated way and curled up in the bottom of the pit it created. She decided to rest a little - but to call it sleep would be a bit of a lie since she could be considered far more active.
