A Demon's Journey

"These Golden Streams most likely indicate providence. I have gained the ability to discern providence through that earlier concoction," Azaroth smirked.

Fortunately, he had two more pellets. He passed over those two pellets to William and ordered him, "Ingest one of them and hand over the other one to Sargan."

William ingested a pellet and instantly fell unconscious. Azaroth's spirit within the Mystical Spiritual Connection Ring noticed that he was still breathing and understood that the effects of this Abyss Eye Pellet were fusing with William's eyes.

Something similar occurred with Sargan as he also fell unconscious. His eyes bled crazily as the effects of Abyss Eye Pellet fused with Sargan's Evil eyes.

Azaroth wondered which ability the two would inherit. The ability to discern providence, or the precognition ability. Both of these abilities were incredible.

Instead of a star shape like in Azaroth's Mystic Eyes of Perception, a full moon shape appeared in William's pupil, and Sargan's Evil Eye had another layer of pure Golden Energy surrounding his reddish inner pupil.

Moreover, Sargan's Evil Eye unlocked even more of its original abilities. Sargan already possessed petrification, hypnosis, and mirage abilities of his Evil Eye. But now, he had unlocked another ability belonging to the Evil Eye.

This ability was known as Adoptive Muscle Memory!

This was a passive skill that allowed Sargan to copy everything he had observed, including the movements, actions, and even martial techniques.

However, this ability had its limits. Even though the user can remember all movements or techniques, he can only display skills limited to what his body could achieve.

Meanwhile, William gained the ability to utilize Abyss Eyes. The Abyss Eyes allowed William to utilize Night Vision, Photographic Memory, Fear Inducement, Disruption, and Advanced Aura Control.

There was a full moon of pure Golden Energy around his green pupils. This full moon was only visible after William activated his Abyss Eyes.

Other than the traditional skills of Abyss Eyes, there was another skill William gained. It was the ability to discern providence! Azaroth named it Providence Perceiving Skill.

Meanwhile, Sargan gained the Precognition Ability, which allowed him to perceive a few seconds in the future. He also gained a few standard abilities of the Abyss Eyes. These abilities were Night Vision, Photographic Memory, and Advanced Aura Control.

At this moment, Azaroth was flying close to the Royal Capital of the Glerian Kingdom. At this moment, a battle was occurring in this area that could very well decide the fate of this Glerian Kingdom.

And ironically, both parties fighting at this moment could be considered the Glerian Kingdom's adversaries.

The Glerian Kingdom only had a single 7 Star Warrior, and that was Bryon. He was recovering to his peak health because of the Golden Flames Azaroth injected into him.

Azaroth planned to intervene in the battle between the Archangels and Demon Emperors. He had killed one Archangel earlier, but there were still nearly four Archangels who were in top condition.

Activating his Mystic Eyes of Perception, Azaroth headed towards the battlefield. He released his Demonic Domain and the Deathly Energy.

It was time to kill another Archangel. This time, his target was Aeshma. She possessed a God-Ranked Weapon and could become a deciding factor in this battle.

Aeshma had to be killed to balance the scales. Unfortunately, killing Aeshma was much harder than killing another Archangel.

This was all because of the God-Ranked Weapon she held. It was the Divine Zither. If Azaroth targeted her with Deathly Energy, she could brush it off by using the Radiant Energy from her Divine Zither.

The laws contained in the Divine Zither were much stronger as compared to the Deathly Energy gathered by Azaroth. In fact, even if Azaroth combined all his insights into the Deathly Energy, it would still lose out to the pure laws contained within the Divine Zither.

Thus, he had to prepare a thorough scheme to get rid of Aeshma.

Azaroth concealed his Demonic Domain by using Deathly Energy. The Deathly Energy shrouded him in laws of death that prevented the Archangels from sensing his presence.

They would naturally detect an outflow of the law of death in their surroundings, but they would be too preoccupied with the conflict to notice. Thus, Azaroth headed towards this raging battle in an attempt to make this situation even more complicated.

After an hour, he finally reached his destination. Azaroth noticed a good location and slowly lowered his altitude. He controlled the trees and covered his body by using Wood Element while also shielding the Law of Death.

At this moment, he was waiting for an opportunity. The Demon Emperors were on the losing end, and the Archangels were bound to be a little careless.

Azaroth wanted to take advantage of that slight carelessness and attack them when they least expected it!

The Yin Devouring Demon Emperor was the attacker, while the Serene Ghost Demon Emperor was the defender.

The two Demon Emperors were together. The Serene Ghost Demon Emperor had released the Ghost Domain that allowed him to conceal his aura within a specific area instantly. Meanwhile, the Yin Devouring Demon Emperor had released his Yin Domain. This allowed him to gather Yin Energy effortlessly and launch an attack on an Archangel.

Unfortunately, the Serene Ghost Demon Emperor's Ghost Domain would lose its effect while the Yin Devouring Demon Emperor launched his attack on the Archangels.

However, after his comrade finished attacking the Archangels, the Serene Ghost Demon Emperor would instantly use the Ghost Domain's ability to conceal the Yin Devouring Demon Emperor.

Until now, this was the tactic they utilized. It was a pity that the Yin Devouring Demon Emperor had been struck by Radiant Energy from Divine Zither.

The Radiant Energy from Divine Zither was much quicker to gather and attack. Meanwhile, the Radiant Energy from Judgement Trident was a bit harder to gather, but its attack was much stronger than an attack from Divine Zither.

Esther was sure that a single good hit on the Yin Devouring Demon Emperor was all she needed to end him.

Aeshma's attacks slowly whittled down the enemy's defenses and tested his endurance. These Archangels hadn't allowed the Yin Devouring Demon Emperor to heal at all.

Meanwhile, those Luminous Domains instantly healed any attacks launched by the Demon Emperors.

As he observed the battle, Azaroth thought '…I can affect the battlefield by adding an influx of Death Energy to the Yin Devouring Demon Emperor's domain. After all, Death is also an aspect of Yin. However, I need to sacrifice nearly half of the Deathly Energy I currently hold to affect the battlefield.'

This was a one-time opportunity. If it failed, Azaroth would lose Deathly Energy required to make a difference on this battlefield.

However, if it succeeded, Azaroth would accomplish his objective and prevent the Archangels from taking over the Glerian Kingdom.

He was adamantly opposed to the Archangels gaining control of the Glerian Kingdom because he knew it wouldn't be long before the Radiant God tracked down Azaroth and discovered he was the one who had stolen his Faith Energy!

Azaroth assassinated one of the human experts required to prevent the Archangels from gaining control of the Glerian Kingdom in order to carry out a crucial experiment.

Typically, the Fate Energy would have protected Bryon and Lennard since they possessed a rather dense Royal Blood and most likely those Golden Streams as well.

However, an attack from the Archangels and the presence of Demon Emperors had changed the situation. The Royal Family's power was much lower compared to the threats it faced.

This was also one reason that Azaroth only killed Lennard for his experiment. He left Bryon alive because if both were killed, something unthinkable might occur due to this weird fate energy. Maybe a slumbering expert would awaken, or another random expert could emerge for some reason.

Moreover, as these Golden Streams of Providence completely avoided Demons and Celestials, it could even be considered that they were considered an anomaly for these Golden Streams of Providence.

The priority of a threat for these Golden Streams of Providence was much higher for Demons or Celestials as compared to other humans.

This meant that if a human targeted a Royal Prince at the same time as another demon, then the demon would be killed, but the human might survive. In fact, the human might even succeed in his mission while the fate energy was busy dealing with the demon. But the condition remained that this was only active when the other races intervened.

This explained why the Black Hurricane took over the body of a Royal Prince. The Black Hurricane desired to be under the protection of these Golden Streams of Providence.

However, the Black Hurricane didn't understand the true abilities of these Golden Streams of Providence. Even though he took over the body of a Royal Prince, the Golden Streams of Providence started abandoning him due to his connection to its true body.

'Something similar can occur to me. Fortunately, William is blessed with great providence, and the same is probably true for Tiana, Noah, and Ralph. They inherently possessed human blood in them. But I can't say the same about Sargan, Laura, and Yrellea. They might face the suppression from these Golden Streams of Providence as they advance.'
