663 Absurd Power

Although Vaan felt confident the elusive demon-worshipping group had Hecate's blessings and knowledge, he couldn't be completely certain. After all, far too little was known about the Seven Great Devils.

Thus, how could he easily guess the thoughts and choices of a Great Devil with his limited understanding?

Moreover, according to some historical books, Hecate the Mystical was also known to be the most enigmatic and eccentric among the Seven Great Devils.

It was said that in Gehenna's long years of existence, Hecate the Mystical had shown three faces. Sometimes, she was evil. Sometimes, she was good. And sometimes, she was just neutral in her judgment.

Her change of nature had no rhythm; she was simply unpredictable.

That said, Hecate had shown little-to-no malice towards humanity in the past three hundred years.

The Holy War of three hundred years ago was mostly initiated by the Great Devils – Balmodan the Undying, Helcan the Mighty, and Abaddon the Sinister.

On the other hand, Hecate the Mystical, Astarte the Charming, Mephistopheles the Cunning, and Thanatos the Supreme had little participation in the Holy War—at least, according to the words of some gossiping people in the imperial capital.

Even the Red Dragon Clan did not know about this. The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

Although the dragon lords knew about Gehenna, their knowledge was limited to the past. And since they had been isolated from the world, it wasn't farfetched to say their knowledge was outdated.

On the other hand, the Great Ratholos Empire was a hotspot for warriors from all over Pangea. Although its network was inferior to the Holy Knight Empire due to its lack of trade with other countries, the information flowing into it wasn't any less.

That being the case, it was surprising to learn that the Great Ratholos Empire knew more about Gehenna and the Seven Great Devils than even the Seven Witch Kingdoms, which had been fighting them for the past three hundred years, from one large war to small skirmishes.

However, it wasn't all that surprising once one learned the truth.

As such, Vaan felt fortunate that Thanatos had never shown any active interest in Pangea for the past three hundred years.

Thinking back, Vaan found it quite naive of the Red Dragon Clan to believe their Fire Dragon God could deter the Seven Great Devils.

After all, even if the Great Devils' powers were suppressed to the Demigod rank, Thanatos could still kill everyone else with a thought and then fight the Fire Dragon God with the other six Great Devils.

More importantly, even if the Fire Dragon God were still alive, it wouldn't necessarily be a Rank 6 Divine Being like the Red Dragon Clan originally believed.

Vaan's soul only reached the Peak Demigod level with the complete inheritance, so the Fire Dragon God must have hidden the truth from its kin.

'Something else must have happened during the Holy War period... Some other factors that deterred the Great Devils from pressing their invasion and forced them to adopt softer approaches...'

'Their lack of invasion in the past three hundred years couldn't be explained otherwise... Is it truly because of Pangea? Or something else? What could it be...'

'I feel like I'm about to uncover the truth, but I'm lacking just that little bit of crucial information...'

...

While Vaan was in deep thought, Chaezi suddenly informed him, 'Supreme Leader, I've just received words from Kuvat – Emperor Varan has begun mobilizing his imperial forces to surround the Delarosa Household and apprehend every shaman and witch doctor in the imperial capital!'

'Oh?' Vaan was slightly surprised before thinking, 'It seems Emperor Varan has been wary of the Sacred Tirtha and the Delarosa Household for a long while... Did he finally find concrete proof of their affiliation with Gehenna and decide to act with haste?'

'However, this timing seems rather abrupt...' Vaan had a vague sense of suspicion before he solemnly instructed, 'Have Kuvat come talk to me, Chaezi. I have some questions for him.'

'As you command, Supreme Leader!' Chaezi complied without hesitation.

However, Chaezi didn't even get the chance to leave and carry out Vaan's task before Kuvat's deep voice was shortly heard.

'There's no need, Supreme Leader. I am already here,' Kuvat announced as if he had anticipated Vaan's summoning.
