Chapter 177 - Strange New World

"Where in the world did I ended up?" Amidst confusion, Kez searched the nearest mass of land only to fall on his back.

After a couple minute lying on the sand, Kez noticed something different within his body.

There was almost no trace of demonic energy in the air and the little remaining in his body was being used to heal his injuries.

That wasn't the only thing different, the surroundings itself were different from what he was used to now he found himself in a strange and mysterious new world. The blue sky and water, the bountiful and vibrant vegetation in the distance as well a multitude of small beasts without a ounce of energy.

Three weeks in this mysterious place was what it took before Kez finally found a settlement. It was a small and peaceful town north of the coast and the natives there barely wore any clothes.

While those people all looked pretty similar to high rank demons at first glance, none of them possessed any trace of energy though.

After observing the natives in secret for eight days in order to learn their language, Kez felt confident in talking with them and finally revealed himself.

Despite being reserved at first, the natives warmed up to him really fast despite the different in his looks such as purplish-orange hair and eyes. Some even worshiped him.

One day when he was out in the coast to watch the sea, large brown vessels approached at high speed.

Sure enough it was a fleet of wooden ships all heading this way.

Meanwhile, aboard the ship to the front.

"Pedro, is this really India? For the looks of it, we have gotten in the wrong place." Asked a member of the crew to a fancy-dressed man at the far back.

"I'm sure of it, there's no way we are wrong."

...

Thomas woke up in his bed while exhausted. Simultaneously, a sequence of notifications popped up in the corner of his vision.

[Memory Complete: +10 for All Attributes]

[Alert: 159 have been successful impregnated with the help of the Shroud of Fertility during synchronization.]

[Shroud of Fertility has leveled up.]

Shroud of Fertility (passive): Increases chances of pregnancy to a 100% in an area of 50km of the user. Any children born through the effect of his skill will inherit the Skill that increases all attributes to a hundred. (This skill can't be deactivated)

While this was something he had been avoiding for a while, he couldn't help but curse lowly as he read through the description. He could only think this skill to be perverse.

He didn't get to see this in work yet since the situation at Zeria made it hard for these things to happen but now in the demon realm, but he found it to be really effective here in the demon realm.

'I can only say sorry for all those people.'

The sky was dark by the time he woke up, Lulu was asleep yet the streets out there were busier than before.

Making the metal remark to block such notifications later, Thomas left the room and went to find something to eat outside before settling for a place that looked like a steakhouse.

It took but a moment for Thomas to rejoice. Unlike Zeria where he could only find mostly fruits and vegetables, the demon realm had an abundance of meat dishes.

Grilled demon beasts that tasted like chicken and beef, a small potato which smelled bacon. He could only say it was heavenly.

For some reason, the meat tastes so nice, it was like the beast in him had been fully satisfied for the first time in months.

Once he was done, Thomas dissolved in the shadows only to appear thousands of kilometers away at the Violet Imperial City's Imperial Palace.

"Have you heard, the clan is gearing up for war. My cousin's friend who's a artifact craftsman said he was asked to work on equipping a dozen aircrafts with several high-grade Demonic Blood Cannons."

"Seriously? Are they preparing to fight the Sonad Emperor? Isn't this a little too soon?"

"No way, everybody knows ours empress bears great hatred towards the Sonad House. It also has something to do with the new world the Sonad Empire has discovered."

Hearing the whispers between the guards gave Thomas more information than he expected but at the same time he knew it was better to not keep going further as he couldn't let himself be discovered by the Violet Moon Empress so soon.

'The empress is planning to intercept the Sonad Empire?' Thomas was surprised to hear the Violet Moon Clan was planning on attracting the empire. If it was true then won't this be the perfect chance to prevent a large-scale invasion on Earth.

"Fine, I should have enough time to prepare..." Looking back one last time, Thomas let himself sink in the shadows before moving back to the inn on Moonlight City.

Back in his room, he found Lulu was already awake and gave her a large pouch filled with coins and a piece of paper. "Lulu, help me gather all the materials on this list. This should have more than enough for all of that, you can also use it to buy yourself something nice."

Watching her leave, Thomas held his chest and murmured in pain. "The sin force in my second heart is growing stronger and stronger here in the demon domain to the point it may even begin to suppress my divinity. There's also very powerful existences deep within this domain, I must get total control of my powers before moving forward."

Saying that, he opened the passage to the Hall of Gods and vanished in thin air.
