The journey of dragon transformation starting from Demon Slayer

The so-called margin is something that only the strong can have. You must improve your strength. No matter what you do, absolute strength is necessary.

However, even so, one cannot lose oneself in power and follow the footsteps of countless predecessors of the "Red Dragon Emperor".

Seeing that Tatsumi was immersed in his thoughts, Ajeka thought he was thinking about the king chess piece, so he was silent for a few seconds and added a sentence.

"Finally, there is one more thing. If the 'King' chess piece is used on someone who is too powerful, or someone with strange abilities, it seems to cause an overflow phenomenon."

"In the worst case, it could be life-threatening. Even if you're saved, the consequences would be disastrous..."

There was silence for a second.

"Yes, power also has a price..." Looking up at the distant sky, Tatsumi murmured.

Now that he thought about it, whether it was "transformation into a dragon" or "sacrifice", he had always been using his body to do stupid and very dangerous things.

Hearing what Tatsumi said, Ajeka said nothing, but silently put the king chess piece in his hand back on the chessboard.

"..."

The two were silent for a moment, and Tatsumi looked at the chessboard and spoke first, "Then I will start scanning with my divine power, Ajeka..."

"Please..." Ajeka said this, and then gently pushed the chessboard in front of Tatsumi.

Tatsumi first applied the penetration to the eye area, then slowly raised his arm and placed his palm above the chessboard.

Countless magic circles and demonic words appeared before his eyes. The tiny chess pieces turned into special objects that were a hundred times more sophisticated than computers.

In an instant, a golden wave appeared from the palm of Tatsumi's hand, creating ripples in the air.

Looking at the "divine power" emerging from Tatsumi's hands, Ajeka was slightly stunned. He did not move, but just watched quietly from the side and analyzed this "divine power" in his mind.

After a few seconds, the golden light slowly dissipated.

"Okay, the analysis is complete, you can take the chess piece back, Ajeka..."

Hearing Tatsumi's quick analysis of the devil's chess piece, even the knowledgeable Ajeka was slightly stunned.

To be honest, he hasn't finished his analysis yet.

"Is the analysis so fast?" Ajeka asked curiously.

Tatsumi nodded slightly, "Ah... because I was once a 'soldier'..."

"I was just trying to confirm the data... but I didn't expect there would be an extra 'King' piece, so it took a little longer..."

The "transformation" of a "soldier"?

Ajieka thought of this and then asked curiously, "Aren't you going to put away the chess pieces..."

Tatsumi waved his hand and rejected Ajeka's proposal. "No, maybe the materials for making chess pieces are worth studying, but the 'chess pieces' themselves are of no use to me..."

"And you certainly don't want it to get out, right? That's why I understand..."

As Tatsumi spoke, a smile appeared on his face, as if he saw through Ajeka's secret.

"Yeah...that's right..." Ajeka nodded with a wry smile on his face.

Tatsumi's understanding seemed to remind him of Sirzechs, and he finally understood why the red-haired princess of the Gremory family liked this child so much.

"Besides, I can actually make it myself if I want..."

As Tatsumi spoke, ripples began to appear in the air around him, and then a small hammer with an exquisite shape fell from the air into his hand, along with a mineral that looked very high-grade at a glance.

Seeing this scene, Ajieka asked curiously, "What is this?"

Tatsumi smiled and said, "This is the hammer given to me by my former forging god, Goddess Hephaestus..."

Ajieka was stunned and couldn't help muttering, "Goddess..."

Logically speaking, Hephaestus should be an ugly male god, but it turns out that there are gods of different genders but the same powers in the other world.

But it is also true that it is meaningless to define God by gender. After all, the way they appear is just to be given a physical form based on legends.

Perhaps the earth, which nurtures all things, can be made into a female by legend, but can you be sure that the concept of the sky is male or female? Obviously not. The same is true for other gods.

The so-called legends and records are not necessarily true, and what you see is not necessarily true.

Ajeka's thoughts were in a tizzy, and then Tatsumi, who was sitting opposite him, made a move.

Tatsumi placed the ore on the table between the two of them, then picked up a small hammer that was completely inconsistent with the size of his palm and tapped it lightly.

As a crisp sound rang out in the air, the next second, the ore shattered with a snap and transformed into sixteen golden chess pieces that looked exactly like the devil's chess pieces before their eyes.

Ajeka couldn't help but reveal a surprised look, muttering in a low voice, "Deformed?!"

Tatsumi smiled, "Haha, yes, after all, I am good at forging, and I used to be a follower of the God of Forging... Next, I just need to write the program into it and infuse it with divine power..."

"I think it's different from the way the demon chess pieces are produced, right?"

Ajeka nodded and replied, "Well, our demon chess pieces are all produced through an assembly line. The process is very complicated and the raw materials also need to be mined."

Ajeka shook his head and said, "But when I started my research, there was no such thing as an assembly line..."

Tatsumi nodded in agreement. "That's how research works. Everything is difficult at the beginning."

Ajeka picked up the golden chess piece on the chessboard and observed it. After watching it for a few seconds, he suddenly said, "But logically speaking, your 'gift' shouldn't require external objects like 'chess pieces', right?"

"I heard that 'divine power' can directly transform life or objects. If there is such a convenient power, why would you make such a request..."

Ajeka was stunned for a moment, "Hmm? Wait... I get it... Is it the 'template'?"

Tatsumi nodded, "Yeah... Since we are going to participate in the devil's 'ranking game', it is necessary to meet the 'standards' right?"

"Haha, don't look at me like this, I am a person who likes to follow the rules~..."

As he spoke, Tatsumi seemed to have thought of something, then he took out something from the treasure house and handed it to Ajeka.

"This is what you want. It contains the underlying program of the 'Gift' system..."

"Because it does not involve reincarnation, it seems relatively simple. It is only used to activate potential and plant a seed that makes people stronger..."

"But 'divine power' and 'magic power' are completely different things. Whether demons can use them is still a question... And using them in reincarnation technology may require a medium like a 'chess piece', or it may not..."

"Of course, don't worry about the translation. I recorded it in demon language..."

"..."

Tatsumi gave Ajeka a list of things that needed attention, and Ajeka felt very happy after hearing it.

He carefully looked at the data on the instrument, and then gladly accepted the instrument that recorded the "Gift" system.

After using the magic circle to transport the instrument to another dimension, Ajeka exhaled, "Now our cooperation has taken a step forward... I will share the data of the "game field" with you through other means..."

Hearing this, Tatsumi smiled happily and couldn't help but cheer, "Oh! That's really great!"

Needless to say, what the "gaming field" means to a modern person.

It's not just about the gameplay, because this field can accomplish most things in reality.

Although most of the things produced in it are fake and cannot be brought into reality, they can make "research" and "experiments" a lot easier.

Because as long as you know the composition of the material, you can replicate and simulate it in the "game field".

Especially for something like the "Dragon Apple" that is almost extinct in reality, we can also seek ways to crack it in the "game field".

Although things that are imbued with magic or special powers may not be reproduced in the game, they can be used to accumulate data and lay the groundwork for future success.

However, unlike the "game field" in his impression, the "game field" created by Ajeka where he is now is almost the same as reality. Although many things are constructed by magic, they can affect reality.

He seemed to remember it was called the "Conqueror Formula"?

This is the trick that Ajaka is famous for.

If Sirzechs made a name for himself in the underworld with his power of destruction, then Ajeka relied on his unique skill of completely controlling any phenomenon with formulas and equations, becoming a "transcendent" on par with Sirzechs.

He is currently also working on manipulating various phenomena and analyzing rules, so he has a certain understanding of this.

However, Tatsumi was not in a hurry to create physical objects. With the underlying "code", he could study it slowly. He could also study "creation-type" and "barrier-type" artifacts, taking one step at a time and making steady progress.

And in this way, the creation of the fourth disaster seems to be put on the agenda.

The "gift" of killing monsters and upgrading + the game creation of the "game field", as long as you can find a way to make the real body gain experience simultaneously, even if it is not all, but only one tenth, or even one percent, its potential is not something that can be described by the word "terrifying".

At this time, Ajeka didn't know that the game he developed because of his love would be used by Tatsumi to cultivate a group of monsters in the future.

However, seeing Tatsumi's happy expression, Ajeka seemed to see himself obsessed with games and research.

I remember that not long after the ranking game system was completed, most of his rights were taken away by the current operation team, and he only had the right to manage the system. That's why he studied other games, even the "game field".

Ultimately, this all came down to the "Devil Pawn". This was also the real reason why he didn't want to give away the "King" pawn.

There are a total of ten existing "King" chess pieces, but he only has four of them. The other chess pieces are scattered throughout the underworld and are held by different demons.

Today's ranking games are divided into professional and non-professional categories, and the top ten players at the top of the profession are extremely powerful, all of whom possess powerful demons known as the highest level.

Apart from the reincarnated demons who rose to the top by strength, due to the intentions of the high officials of the underworld, almost all of the 72 pillars of pure-blooded upper-level demons used the "King" chess piece. And some of the users have reached the level of the highest-level demons, or even the level of the Demon King.

If it were just that, it wouldn't be a big deal. But with the intervention of political forces, "ranking games" have become linked to politics and economy. Moreover, in the selection of commercial licenses, bribery and match-fixing have become commonplace. Most of the executive committee members who run the game are also involved. It can be said that good and bad people are mixed together and are corrupt.

Today's ranking games are no longer pure, but full of drawbacks and have become extremely unfair competitions.

Speaking of which, international competitions in the human world also have such situations. It can only be said that the ranking games in the underworld are just repeating the old path of competition games in the human world.

Originally, skipping the rules and relying on external forces to improve strength was no different from cheating. After the political forces intervened, he, the initiator, felt helpless.

He is just the initiator of the game, and his only responsibility is the most basic system management.

The others were ordered by the senior officials to "not touch" and "not interrupt". Then the ranking game was taken away.

Maybe it's because they are too young, or it may have something to do with his job.

His authority is only valid in the fields of research and gaming. Although he is very strong, sometimes strength does not mean anything.

The so-called initiators, no matter in which era, will have their achievements usurped and will be regarded as thorns in the eyes and bones by others as long as they deviate slightly from what they have created.

The "Ranking Game" system is like his own child, and now he can only feel sad about the result before him.

The same is true for the fact that the rankings of top professional players don't change often.

The competition between them was just a wonderful balance adjustment, showing a confrontation to the outside world. Of course, those profit-seeking demons of the old era were behind it.

The competition between top players and top players can bring huge financial benefits in itself.

Although the reincarnated demons are performing better and better now, it is still a huge obstacle for many challengers to challenge the top players who use the "King" chess piece and are manipulated by the demons of the old era. To overcome them, both strength and wisdom are indispensable.

Although he and Sirzechs wanted to change this situation, the reality was that they had no idea where to start.

They have only been demon kings for a few hundred years, and the ranking game seems to be running smoothly now. If they interfere recklessly, it is likely to cause the current balance of the underworld to collapse.
