Chapter 1095: Chapter 194 Demon Sense Chapter 1095: Chapter 194 Demon Sense Perspective shift:

Border of Yidalos – Minano City.

The Big Expedition had been planned with a total duration of approximately 5 to 10 years.

If one were simply traveling,

from the Holy City to London City, and considering a series of Demon attacks along the way, camping and resting, as well as various spiritual healings… supported by ‘Endless Energy,’ a year’s time would be completely sufficient.

The reason for setting such a long time was that the Big Expedition was divided into several stages.

Every time a stage was reached, the Expeditionary Army would engage in a lengthy negotiation and rest period.

At the same time, some knights and elite knights with development potential would be dispatched from the Demon City to the Door of Fate, to enter the Fate Space for related trials.

Just as Han Dong had surmised, the Big Expedition was the grandest and most significant action in human history, far more than just broadening horizons or seizing a few battle victories.

[Big Expedition] was an important step for humanity and a step towards trying to negotiate on equal footing with Demons, using their own strength as a door-knocker.

The First Stage – the Minano Campaign.

Under the conditions that complied with the world’s rules, humans emerged victorious.

Defeating the Mythic Body and its control of the large Land Deeds was of significant meaning.

Since the right to hold Land Deeds had been completely stripped from humanity in prehistory,

the actual rewards from the war’s victory consisted only of the leftover Demon materials in Minano and the hidden gold mines underground as compensation for the Endless Energy.

However, these tangible rewards were secondary.

Through this campaign, humanity had won an opportunity, a chance to converse with the Old King.

All these achievements had been made possible by the Secret Language Knight Order’s deciphering of the Demon Tablet.

Humanity could use a standard battle challenge as a “step” to elevate their self-worth and gain the opportunity to converse with the Old King.

However, the situation was slightly different from the process deciphered from the stone slab.

According to the information provided by the Secret Language Knight Order, it was the Middle Position Old King representing filth and corruption associated with Minano who should have conversed with the Expeditionary Army.

Who knows.

When the war was won, a Star Gate opened up from the central ground.

From the human perspective, a mysterious person dressed as a bartender, with a head obscured by a nebula, appeared.

This person replaced the Old King behind Minano City’s Land Deed and proactively engaged in a conference-like conversation with the humans.

The meeting lasted for an entire week.

Although the final outcome wasn’t as good as expected, it wasn’t particularly bad either.

Moreover, the Old King who conversed with them was an Upper Rank being, wielding absolute authority, and His promises were sufficient to put the Expeditionary Army at ease.

To the demands posed by humanity, this person also laid out a precondition.

“I hope you can reach London City within a year and a half, and if you can perform excellently there,

I will personally consider restoring your ‘qualifications’… As for the specifics of London City, you will naturally come to know once you arrive.”

The proposal of this requirement meant that the Big Expedition needed to be compacted as compared to the original plan.

The Expeditionary Army temporarily stationed itself in Minano City.

Using the Eye of Expedition, they established contact with the Holy City hundreds of kilometers away and revised the route planning for the Big Expedition, cutting out some unnecessary processes and compressing the overall plan.

Nonetheless.

Marlon had always opposed the idea of compressing the expedition’s progress.

He was unwilling to see the Big Expedition, which humanity had started after exhausting a lot of material, mental, and human resources, now having to align with the Demons’ pace… resulting in many battles in various regions being abandoned, and the related Chaos Materials and sacred treasures unattainable.

Due to the intensified contradictions in some details, Marlon stopped attending subsequent meetings.

He considered using the Door of Fate in Minano to visit Hell, to relax his mind.

As Marlon made his way alone to the Door of Fate,

a dense chill of death, along with a skeletal horse, blocked Marlon’s path.

The Death God atop the horse urged:

“Marlon, now is not the time to go to Hell.

If some event were to suddenly erupt in Hell, your delay could be several months, or even years.

Moreover, the compression of the expedition’s progress has also been affirmed by the council.

What you said is not wrong, to some extent, it indeed caters to the demons’ demands, but our essential purpose for leaving the city is to negotiate with the demons.”

“I came here to kill enemies, not to kneel and negotiate.”

At that moment,

the Ashen Crown, symbolic of the Hell King’s identity, suddenly appeared above Marlon’s head.

This generally only happened when entering combat mode.

“Marlon, do you want to fight?” Alex brandished his silver scythe, with death qi spilling out.

“Wait…”

Marlon had no intention to fight, his gaze turned toward a certain direction.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a pair of large demon wings grew from his back and carried him up into the sky, a hundred meters high.

The appearance of the Ashen Crown was not Marlon’s conscious decision, but the result of a stimulus from a homology sensing.

Seeing this,

Alex also flew up, following beside Marlon.

“Big Demons… and this one has a very high purity.

What’s going on? Could it be that demons have come to our world in reverse through the Fate Channel… Alex, does this direction roughly point to where I think it is?”

“London City.”

Marlon then fell into contemplation. “Could it be that the catastrophe foreseen by Mr. Black White and that group of prophets and writers has come early?

Is this why that Old King in the meeting earlier urged us to head to London in advance?

Seriously, why didn’t he just say so earlier?

Let’s have Big Demon accelerate the compression plans, and we’ll prepare to set off in advance.”

“You… this guy…”

Alex felt helpless, but that was just Marlon’s personality.

But then again, the demonic sensing Marlon received was extremely important intelligence that the Expeditionary Army had to consider.

…

In fact.

This homology sensing did not come from a demon crawling out of Hell… but from Han Dong.

Perhaps it was a coincidence, but such a coincidence had propelled the ‘interlocking’ and ‘rotation’ of the World Gear.

Han Dong, now participating in the London game, had reached an unprecedented special state.

Sally wielded the “Umi Harz. Curse Whip” in her hand and fiercely lashed Han Dong’s body, which was undergoing a simulation.

The whip’s primary effect was to transfer and amplify curse effects, capable of ‘whipping’ the curse into the target’s body… but the current situation was odd.

Most of the curses, as they permeated Han Dong’s skin, were being negated by Hell Scriptures lying between souls.

“Hmm? Curse negated… has there been a change on the soul’s plane?”

At this moment, Han Dong’s body, enjoying the whipping, was undergoing the final ‘consciousness simulation’ with Togu.

Images of Hellish landscapes, monastery scenes, and terrifying experiences of suffering were being etched into Han Dong’s soul, along with the consciousness simulation.

-Synchronization rate 100%-

In an instant.

The “Door of Truth” once again appeared in front of Han Dong, and with Togu as a medium, Han Dong was granted the temporary opportunity to touch the door.

This also meant that Han Dong would temporarily reach the ‘Ancestor Return’ level.

A stream of intense demonic aura continuously emanated from within Han Dong… the Great Demon form had been activated.
