Chapter 378: 375 "I consider your paralysis.

"I have something to show you," Danass suddenly said, stretching out his hand and snapping his fingers.

With that snap, a figure stepped out of the shadow behind him.

The figure was small, almost childlike at first glance, but wrapped in a black robe, making the features indiscernible.

Yet, Shane felt a familiar magic power emanating from the small figure, causing his expression to vanish for the first time.

Not only Shane, but Oz and Mafi seemed to sense something too.

"That... could it be...!?"

"How could it be..."

Oz and Mafi one widened their eyes, while the other was rendered speechless.

"It seems you’ve noticed," Danass said with a smirking smile, "This is my latest masterpiece. To create it, I exhausted everything I had accumulated over the decades."

Implied in his words was the fact that this magic life was a recent creation by Danass.

Besides consuming decades worth of Danass’s precious materials, it also involved another ingredient.

"You used Jade’s magic power as the material to create this magic life?" Shane said expressionlessly.

That was indeed the case.

"You must be aware, creating magic life involves many uncertainties," Danass started speaking again.

"Many factors determine the capabilities, characteristics, and even the appearance of magic life."

"The quality of the materials."

"The level of the skills."

"The creator’s imagination."

"These factors all dictate, to a certain extent, the completion of the magic life, deciding its capabilities."

"Thanks to this, even using identical materials, creating exactly the same magic life with life creation magic is highly unlikely."

Danass then glanced at the four cloaked people surrounding him.

"These magic lives, which I call Demon Warriors, have mastered ’Symbiosis,’ a skill usually learned by beings with deep life connections like twins, and unattainable by ordinary people, even by the God and Demon Clans. Therefore, creating these four identical Demon Warriors truly exhausted all my life’s efforts."

Magic life above Level 80 isn’t easy to create, is it?

The materials required must each be worth a fortune, right?

One could imagine how much effort Danass had put into creating these four magic lives with the "Symbiosis" skill.

Considering the potential for creation failures or producing a magic life incapable of "Symbiosis," exhausting his fortune was absolutely a prerequisite to achieving these four Demon Warriors.

Shane could even imagine what unethical deeds Danass had committed to complete these Demon Warriors.

After all, being part of the Old Demon Clan Faction, notorious as lawless terrorists, accomplishing his goal without resorting to underhanded tactics was improbable.

What Danass now implied was that to achieve the magic life he envisioned, he certainly had to find an unconventional approach.

And what might that unconventional method be?

Very simple.

"Creating a magic life exactly as one imagines is extremely difficult, except under one particular condition, right?" Shane said indifferently.

"Correct." Danass nodded cheerily and said, "Only when the magic power of the reference is incorporated does it significantly increase the probability of producing a magic life that not only resembles the owner of the magic power in appearance but also matches their abilities."

This was information Shane could find even in the Underground Magic Book Library of the Royal Palace.

And if Shane knew, then Danass, an expert in magic life, obviously would too.

That’s why Jade had been kidnapped.

"My intent was merely to collect some of her magic power. I had no interest in her personally. Therefore, taking her away was the doing of your kin, not mine," Danass said, disclaiming responsibility while patting the head of the small cloaked figure next to him.

"This child was created from the magic power I collected at that time. It is because of it that I can control the evil energy here, manipulate the evil creatures here and make them serve me."

The reason why the Old Demon Clan Faction could ignore the threat of evil energy and manipulate the evil creatures to some extent finally became clear.

Because Danass possessed a magic life created in the image of Jade, akin to a half-body clone of the Evil God Lillith, he had this capability.

However...

"You... you actually created a replica of a god?" Mafi exclaimed in shock.

"This is impossible!" Oz also cried out.

The reason was simple.

"How did you do it?" Shane asked, looking straight at Danass. "Life creation magic can’t be used to create members of the Divine Race. How did you succeed?"

This was an exceedingly bizarre affair.

You see, the basis of Life Creation Magic was modeled after the birth methods of the Demon Clan and demons, only then was it established.

Since the Demon Clan and demons were influenced by Magic Power and could be born through natural or even artificial means, people modeled this birth method and developed Life Creation Magic.

But how were the Divine Race born?

They split from the body of the Supreme God Ominis, essentially being offspring of Supreme God Ominis.

This mode of existence was vastly different from all other races.

Why is the number of Divine Race fixed, without any changes?

It was because those who were born from Supreme God Ominis only possessed the roles and authorities given at birth, and since the roles were limited, their numbers were limited.

They do not reproduce, nor do they truly die. Even if they pass away, as long as Supreme God Ominis is willing, they could be resurrected at any time.

In essence, they were fundamentally different from other races in terms of life forms; it was not possible to create their replicas using Life Creation Magic.

This wasn’t a matter of strength or weakness, but rather, it was fundamentally impossible.

Therefore, no matter how much precious material Danass consumed, or how high his level of Magic Skills was, it was not feasible.

However...

"The real gods are certainly not possible, but your counterpart is just a rational half body. If I adjust the Magic Form and fundamentally reverse the principles of creation to reconstitute a new system, then it’s not impossible."

Danass’s carefree words left everyone speechless.

In other words, to achieve this target, Danass had developed a specific type of Magic Life just to create Divine Race.

It might be useless for the real Divine Race, but if used on just a god’s half body, it might indeed be possible.

Of course, it was just a possibility.

There are indeed many uncertainties with Life Creation Magic. Danass invested all his effort for the sake of four Demon Warriors, and now for a god’s half body. Even if the creation failed, that was a very normal occurrence.

"I even made preparations for a long-term struggle, prepared to spend decades to complete it. Who would have thought, heaven blesses me, and I succeeded on my first try."

Danass boasted about his good luck, but it caused Shane to finally let go of his underestimation and take this old member of the Demon Clan seriously.

He might be weak, but he possessed extraordinary determination, patience, and persistence, definitely not to be underestimated.

At least, he had indeed become a significant threat now.

"I’m actually not that interested in the Evil God Lilith; what interests me more is your sibling."

Danass stated as such.

"What truly interests me are the followers of a berserk, utterly corrupt Evil God."

He was referring to the manic, evil creatures.

"These followers of the Evil God are not only numerous but also include some ancient powerful beings who haven’t yet been released," Danass’s eyes burned with fervor. "Once they are released and come under my control, to become the army at my command, don’t you think that, by then, there will be no one in this world who can oppose me?"

At this point, Danass’s purpose was clear.

He intended to control the ancient evil beings that had been sealed and use them for himself.

"You... have you gone mad...!?"

Oz couldn’t help but speak out.

"You released the Evil God Lilith and so many evil creatures for that purpose?"

Mafi also found it unbelievable.

On the other hand, Shane understood Danass’s ambition.

"That explains it." Shane said calmly, "Once the Evil God Lilith is released, she will surely spread evil energy like in ancient times, creating the crazed demons, all of which will become the army under your control."

Danass didn’t need to exhaust his energy ruling the world. Instead, just let the Evil God Lilith loose to run amok.

When the land became a living hell again, and all creatures converted into evil beings, he who mastered the Magic Life of the Evil God would reap the benefits and control those evil beings as his own, thus taking over the world.

"The Six Great Demons and the Three Great Goddesses probably won’t care about a small-time troublemaker like me, and their attention will be focused on the Evil God Lilith, right?"

Danass finally spoke with pride.

"Is my plan feasible then?"

Upon hearing this, Shane smirked.

"Feasible or not, I don’t know," Shane looked deeply at Danass and said, "But I understand now why you told me all this nonsense."

After all that talk, Danass just wanted to remind Shane of one thing.

"Just by releasing the Evil God Lilith, the world would belong to you, right?" Shane scoffed, "You want to persuade me with that, to have me join you, help you unseal Lilith, and then you’d share part of the future world with me, correct?"

"True to Lord Beizut," Danass laughed loudly, "What do you think? Worth considering, isn’t it?"

Danass’s words were met with a brilliant smile from Shane.

"Consider my foot."

With that, Shane’s body surged with magic power.

"Boom—!"

A fierce flame immediately burst from the ground, blasting towards where Danass stood.

Shane, without another word, made his move.
