The journey of dragon transformation starting from Demon Slayer

--------

Fast forward a while, to just a few days after Tatsumi and Raiza's game ended.

At this time, in a corner of the underworld, the demon leader belonging to the "Demon King Faction" was holding a secret meeting in a dark room using remote communication.

At a round table, a tall woman in a dress was sitting with her legs crossed, quietly watching a video playing in the air.

Her name is Cattleya Leviathan. She is currently affiliated with the terrorist organization "The Group of Misfortune". She is a member of the "Devil King Faction" and a descendant of Leviathan who inherited the blood of the true Demon King.

There were two other figures on the table at this time, but unlike the curvy Cattleya, the other two were men, and they were cross-dimensional projections made up of magic power.

They are Cruzerai Asmodeus and Sherpa Beelzebub, both descendants of the former Demon Kings Asmodeus and Beelzebub, and like Cattleya Leviathan, they belong to the Demon King Faction.

"Cattleya, did you call this meeting just to show us something like this?!"

Suddenly, a male voice full of contempt rang out in the air.

He was wearing light armor, his body was embellished with various gems, and he had a wide cloak draped over his back. He had long brown hair and his left eye was exposed to the air. Judging from his figure and temperament, he was definitely a very handsome man.

However, his temperament was chilling, making people feel cold from the inside out.

"This is just a game between wild beasts! Whether it is the lowly 'Phoenix' or the filthy dragons, there is no need for us to pay attention..."

Hearing what he said, the two people present turned their attention to him. At the same time, Cattleya raised her eyebrows, as if she was thinking about something.

Sherpa continued, "The current underworld is obsessed with the 'ranking game' launched by the 'current demon government'. They are obsessed with peace and have fundamentally forgotten the nature of demons!"

"Only destruction and conquest are evil! Subverting the world and showing power is the truth!"

"They are actually cooperating with human countries. The demons nowadays are getting worse and worse..."

Sherpa Beelzebub is the leader of the "Demon King Faction", and is also one of the leaders of the "old" "Demon King Faction" that was expelled to the border of the underworld by the current Demon King government.

It is well known that there are four demon kings in the underworld: Lucifer, Beelzebub, Leviathan, and Asmodeus. In the demon society that values ​​bloodline, even if the factions are divided into two groups, the three people present, as direct descendants of the demon king, still hold the supreme power to command countless demons.

When the four old demon kings died and the demons were preparing to elect a new demon king, a violent conflict broke out between two factions in the underworld.

On one side are the "anti-government forces" who hope to continue the demon race and focus on reform, which is the current underworld government.

The other side is the supporters of the former Demon Kings and the various family forces that serve the four Demon Kings. They call themselves the "Demon King Faction" and are called the "Old Demon King Faction" by the current government.

The "Demon King Faction" includes many families, including the "Extra Demons" and the "Seventy-two Pillars".

The most eye-catching among them is definitely the "Devil King Successor", the direct bloodline of the four great demon kings.

The underworld system at that time could be said to be full of exploitation. The rankings between families were often fixed, and the demon clan was always superior to others.

Because the position of the Demon King was inherited in the past, the new Demon King who was going to inherit the position of the Demon King was prepared to maintain the existing underworld system at that time, and at the same time prepared to provoke the unfinished war between the three forces again after taking office.

It was because of the differences in ideas that the two factions finally broke out into a fierce dispute.

One side hopes to achieve final victory, while the other side wants the continuation of the race. The conflict between the two sides gradually intensified, from politics to armed conflict, and finally became uncontrollable.

At that time, with the participation of Sirzechs and others, the reformists' combat power was overwhelmingly enhanced, and they directly overthrew the rule of the government at that time. Among them, there was a group of people who persisted in the war to the end. They were the descendants of the old Demon King and the orthodox heirs to the Demon King's throne.

However, as the main force at that time died in the battle between the two sides, the old Demon King faction is now led by the three cadres at that time, Cattleya, Sherpa, and Cruzerai.

Hearing what Sherpa said, Cruzere, who was dressed in black, nodded and agreed with him.

"Yes! The purpose of the existence of demons is to seize human souls, drag them into hell, and destroy angels and gods!"

"Mutual understanding? Peace? Demons are supposed to destroy everything except themselves!"

"Only demons have the right to rule! No, that's not right! Only we, the Demon King, have the right to be the king of the world!"

After listening to Cruzerai's words, Cattleya, who was sitting next to him, changed her legs and continued to cross them.

She pushed up her glasses and interrupted with a smile.

"Yes, the Phoenix is ​​indeed nothing to be afraid of!"

"The reason for their existence is to provide the devils with the 'Phoenix Tears' that can heal all injuries! And the 'Phoenix Army' whose contribution during the war cannot be underestimated!"

"Now that the three-way war has almost come to a standstill, the Phoenix clan has taken advantage of this power to rise to the top. They are the vested interests of the current government policies. They are also the absolute supporters of the current Demon King..."

Hearing what Katrea said, Sherpa beside him showed a dissatisfied look and snorted suddenly.

"Hmph, you have a powerful trait like 'immortality', but you're obsessed with this meaningless 'ranking game'!"

"As long as we start the war again, as long as you help us win, then we will make the rules of the new world! We will have all the power and wealth by then!"

Cruzere agreed with Sherpa.

He nodded: "Yes! You are leaving behind a bright future and are content with the status quo!"

"I'm afraid you have lost your demonic spirit now! What a hateful bunch of guys!"

In Cruzerai's eyes, the Phoenix clan is no different from other demons. They are all cowards who fear war and are greedy for money.

And most importantly, if Phoenix does not support the orthodox demon kings, it would be a serious crime. Instead, it would support the clowns who stole the throne of the demon king, which is an even greater crime!

"It's just that this 'Second Holy Empire'..."

As he was talking, Cruzerai caught a glimpse of the Red Dragon Emperor swinging his sword, and the game video was almost coming to an end at that moment.

Seeing Tatsumi cut the game field in half with one sword, a trace of fear flashed in Cruzere's eyes, and then he said to Sherpa.

"Sherpa, will this sudden appearance of the 'Second Holy Empire' affect our plans?!"

What Kreluzer was referring to was not only the "Red Dragon Emperor", but also the unprecedented new "artifacts" that appeared in the video.

You have to know that they are now members of the terrorist organization "The Group of Disaster", so they naturally know the harm that humans who possess "divine weapons" can cause.

Especially those guys from the "Hero Faction" who hold the "God-killing Tool"...

Thinking of this, Cruzerai let out a displeased sound, wishing these dangerous guys would die immediately.

The existence of such people will only become an obstacle to their long-cherished wishes and are of no use other than being exploited.

Cruzerai's sudden question made Sherpa fall into silence. He looked at the projection on the table, sat there with his eyes squinted, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

Sherpa responded quickly and spoke calmly.

"Influence? What kind of influence can it have?!"

"Our plan is to kill all the relatives of the Demon King and bring despair to the current Demon King! We have nothing to do with this human country..."

"If we are to say what the impact is, it would be better to say what kind of impact can we make from it?"

After saying this, Sherpa narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous red light flashed in his eyes.

"This game is just an exchange match between the two forces. I think the Red Dragon is making such a big fuss. I'm afraid it's trying to show its power to the current underworld government."

"I have to say that his goal was very successful. Even I, the successor of the real Beelzebub, was shocked..."

"Let's not talk about the sniper's attack for now. The power of the 'Mechanical Dragon' and the 'Red Dragon' summoned by the black-haired little girl is almost comparable to that of us who have 'Snakes'..."

"Even though it was just one strike..."

When Cattleya heard what Sherpa said, she frowned, and it was unknown what she was thinking about.

Honestly speaking, the strength of the three of them is not far apart. In the past, they were only high-ranking cadres in the Demon King's faction. Their strength was lower than that of the Demon King, but similar to that of the lower-ranking top demons.

With the death of the previous leader, it is now their turn to be in charge of the "Demon King Faction".

The situation has changed too fast in recent years. First, the terrorist organization "The Group of Disaster" emerged, and then the "Thirteen Divine Annihilators" appeared at the same time.

Up to now, the current demon government has suddenly found a human country to cooperate with.

Is it time for the three forces to hold peace talks next? !

Although her idea was ridiculous, Cattleya still felt that she and others needed to keep up with the times in this world that was changing more and more frequently.

Over the years, they have tried their best just to maintain the rule of the system, not to mention overthrowing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, overthrowing the rule of the current four demon kings over the underworld, and restoring their orthodox status.

Originally, they were the losing side in the factional struggle hundreds of years ago.

Without external intervention, it would be almost impossible to overthrow the increasingly powerful underworld government.

Not to mention the reincarnation system that appeared hundreds of years ago. Its appearance was like a shot of adrenaline, which helped the weak underworld and restored its damaged vitality.

They knew about the game system. After all, they were once part of the demon society.

As the saying goes, the roots are still connected, and they have only moved from their respective territories to the edge of the underworld, and have not completely left the underworld. They just have no contact with the current government and have greater autonomy.

You are in me and I am in you, this is their current situation.

Demon kings like Sirzechs who ascended the throne by usurping the throne cannot do anything to them. It is better to say that they owe them something.

Because even if they were expelled to the border, they still had the purest demon bloodline, the blood of the devil flowing in their bodies, and there were still a large number of demons supporting them.

It just so happened that they didn't want to deal with Sirzechs and his group, so the two sides had been in a cold war for hundreds of years, until the emergence of the reincarnation system, which began to stir up a little bit of passion in their hearts.

Don't get me wrong, they don't like the game system created by the pseudo-demon king, they like the "power" that is enough to change the status quo.

And that power is called the "King" chess piece, but this readily available power has obvious flaws.

They have always held a disdainful attitude towards the lowly existences such as the reincarnated demons introduced into the demon world.

After all, in the demon world, bloodline is everything. Even if you are a reincarnated demon and no matter how strong you are, you are just an outlier among outliers. How can you compare with the noble ones?

However, as the overall strength of the underworld gradually increased, they also found that it was almost impossible to overthrow the current underworld government.

Even if it can be achieved, most of the combat power will be lost. Doing so is really not worth the loss, and we can only do small tricks in secret.

However, until a few years ago, the emergence of the terrorist organization Khaos Bragade brought a new turn for the current situation.

The leader of the "Misfortune Group" is the "Infinite Dragon God Ophis", who is said to be feared by both gods and demons and possesses infinite power.

The name "Ouroboros" alone is enough to attract people.

Not to mention, this is a well-known terrorist organization, which is exactly what these devils like me like.

Because of their situation, these demons came into contact with this terrorist organization with all kinds of ideas and have been working in it for nearly twenty years.

The members of the "Misfortune Group" are a mixed bunch. In addition to the demons, there are also fallen angels, humans, dragons and other alien creatures in this organization.

During the period of joining, they, the demons, assisted the terrorist organization in conducting various experiments, including human experiments and research on the "characteristics" of demons. They even provided the demons with technology and intelligence, and launched terrorist attacks on various forces around the world.

Correspondingly, they also obtained a lot of things in this organization, such as the device for artificially controlling "light power", the data of "artifacts" and "artificial artifacts" of the fallen angels, the research data of "holy sword" and "demon sword", "synthetic beast" data, etc.

Of course, the most important thing is——the snake.
