Chapter 530
The Metal Emperor's plan was to secretly absorb the Human Emperor's bloodline and remain low-key.
Once he had gained sufficient strength, he intended to fight the Demon Lord and kill him.
After that, he planned to unite the human race and become the next Human Emperor.
He believed that all humans would worship him, and the other royal clans from the human race would also serve him because of the bloodline.
When that happened, he was confident that he would receive the protection of the gods, who might even help him remove his demonic bloodline.
This had been his true plan all along. Initially, he chose to become a demon to gain power, but after learning about the potency of the Human Emperor's bloodline, he couldn't settle for just being a demon lord.
Once he obtained the Human Emperor's bloodline, he was sure that many would worship him.
He also believed that the gods would forgive him for what he had done to the human race by accepting the devil's power, given the immense importance of the bloodline.
....
Dave shook his head, feeling that the Metal Emperor's thinking was too naive.
Even if he acquired the Human Emperor's bloodline, the Demon King would still detect him.
Protected by the gods or not, his attitude would make him a target for others.
The gods hated demons to the core, and even if he had the Human Emperor's bloodline, they would extract it from him and give it to their human heroes.
Gods considered their race noble so they wouldn't covet the human emperor's bloodline, unlike demons who would do anything for power.
The Demon King Satan must have reached his peak and sought the Human Emperor's bloodline as his last resort.
Dave dismissed these thoughts and looked at the bloodline in his hands.
He didn't covet it because his own bloodline was superior.
Unsure what to do with it, he was surprised when Aby suddenly appeared in front of him, smiling as if she had a suggestion.
"What is it? Do you have a good idea?" Dave asked.
Aby smiled and said softly, "Yeah, it might not be beneficial to you directly, but it can help you create an army of Human Emperors in the future, kekeke."
Dave was stunned by her words, but Aby began to explain.
"You can use the Human Emperor's bloodline to enhance your followers. By infusing them with this bloodline, you could create a powerful army of humans with the potential to rival even the strongest beings. This would not only solidify your influence but also ensure that the legacy of the Human Emperor lives on under your control."
Dave pondered her suggestion. It made sense. By creating an army of humans with the Human Emperor's bloodline, he could significantly bolster his forces.
Additionally, it would prevent the bloodline from falling into the wrong hands.
"You have a point," Dave admitted. "This could be a game-changer."
Aby nodded. "Exactly. With an army of enhanced humans, you'll be able to maintain a balance of power and protect your interests more effectively."
Dave looked at the bottle of bloodline again.
"The Human Emperor's bloodline in Alisha is the purest the Wu clan has had since the death of the Human Emperor,"
Aby said.
"Even though it has been extracted, you can still give it back to her. However," she paused and continued, "the Human Emperor's bloodline can still be improved if you mix it with your chaotic bloodline."
Dave listened intently as Aby explained. "With the amount of bloodline in that bottle, it's enough for you to create five Human Emperors."
She smiled at Dave, clearly hoping for praise.
Dave was amazed and hadn't thought of this possibility.
He patted her head and wasn't stingy with his praise. "As expected of you."
Aby laughed arrogantly before she detailed the process of evolving the bloodline to Dave.
The procedure was complex, requiring precision and speed, as one wrong move could destroy the bloodline.
However, with his Primordial Flames, he could refine the bloodline better, potentially resulting in unexpected enhancements.
Dave was confident in his ability to perform the process, but he still needed to resolve one significant issue: facing the demon lord Irethane.
Irethane was already suspicious of Dave because of his numerous questions.
Dave didn't mind revealing the truth to him, as he had already accomplished what he needed. He just wanted to surprise him.
Killing a demon lord seemed possible with Dave's current power if he went all out, but it would come at a high cost. He aimed for a clear victory without significant losses.
With determination, Dave began to strategize.
"First, I'll need to handle Irethane. Once he's dealt with, I can focus on enhancing the bloodline and strengthening my forces."
Aby nodded. "Irethane won't be easy to defeat, but with your abilities and strategic planning, it's not impossible."
Dave appreciated Aby's confidence in him. "Let's prepare. We need to ensure everything is in place for the upcoming battle."
...........
Inside the demonic castle, Irethane's face turned pale as he realized many of his archdemons had died.
He couldn't go to check on the situation because he was preoccupied with the demon in front of him.
"Oh, your subordinates are useless. They are all dead, hehe,"
Dave's clone taunted, looking at Irethane with a smirk.
Irethane was angered and ashamed but didn't show it.
He feared being labeled incompetent by Dave and hadn't expected his subordinates to fall so easily.
With only two archdemons left, they were insufficient to conquer this place.
"Forgive me for showing you such a sight, senior," Demon Lord Irethane said humbly.
Dave smiled and replied, "I know you want to raise your rank, right?"
Irethane was stunned but didn't object. He couldn't deny his ambition.
"Hehe, you are quite eager, but do you know that the others are already planning to kill you because they see you as a threat?" Dave smiled mysteriously.
Irethane wasn't surprised and responded, "I know I'm an eyesore to them, but I will still fight them."
He didn't need to lie to Dave, knowing that the first-ranked demon lord didn't care about his ambition since he could defeat them all easily.
"I admire your dedication to power, but do you want my help? I can make you the second rank,"
Dave smiled, silently releasing the sin energy of envy and greed towards Irethane.
His control over the energy was superior, and even the demon lord, sensitive to sin energy, couldn't detect it.
Irethane, sensitive only to wrath energy, didn't notice the subtle influence of the other sin energies.
Greed and envy began to flicker in his eyes. It was ironic that Dave used the strengths of demons like sin energy to manipulate them.
"Are you joking, senior? Why would you help me?"
Irethane felt a surge of greed at the offer. Hearing such words from the first-ranked demon lord meant that even the second-ranked demon lord wouldn't dare to oppose him.
Dave smiled and said, "Well, I learned that the second seat, Demon Lord Furyon, is planning to fight and challenge me. So, I will kill him when that happens, then I will help you ascend to the second rank."
"But, of course, I need you to swear loyalty to me. After all, I cannot raise an ungrateful demon."
Dave revealed his fangs as the sin energy continued to enter Irethane's body, making his eyes glint with agitation.
Irethane was torn between his ambition and the growing influence of Dave's manipulation.
