Prime Originator Chapter 742 - Absolute Suppression

Chapter 742 - Absolute Suppression

Nevertheless, Leon grew curious about the Demon God that the Dark Fae Saresha mentioned, but he could only leave it for another time.
"You may rise."
"Thank you, my Lord."
After Leon permitted Saresha to stand with a hand gesture, she staggered as she struggled to get up due to the numbness in her legs.
However, Leon didn't help her, nor did he intend to.
It wasn't something he needed to lend a hand for, not to mention their relationship was that of a lord and his servant.
After Saresha regained control of her legs, she stood up straight before turning to Leon with a question.
"My lord, may Saresha be so impertinent as to ask what you intend to do with the Dark Fae Clan after gaining control of it?"
"I intend to raise the Dark Fae Clan to a level that can stand toe-to-toe with the other nine great demon clans and have it destroy the demon clans that get in my way. But, of course, the reason for doing that is because I stand on the side of humans."
Shortly after saying that, Leon gave Saresha a careful look and asked, "Why? Do you regret your choice of following me now?"
"Not at all, my Lord!"
Saresha quickly shook her head with astonishment before voicing her opinion, "I couldn't care less whether the other demon clans live or die. Our relationship wasn't exactly harmonious."
Of course, Saresha's choice to follow Leon was a choice between life and death.
Even so, she genuinely didn't care about the other demon clans.
"The various clans have always been waging small skirmishes against one another over land and resources, causing clans to rise and fall every day. Our Dark Fae Clan declined until we have nothing left due to the repeated robberies."
"I see."
"If my lord can raise our Dark Fae Clan to the same position as one of the Nine Great Clans, the Dark Fae Clan will be eternally loyal to you, my Lord. Saresha only hopes that you won't throw us away after your goals are achieved."
"I don't count my chickens before they hatch, so it's too early to be worrying about that when the Dark Fae Clan have yet to submit to me," Leon calmly stated.
"Furthermore, I doubt everyone in Dark Fae Clan will just submit to a human without resistance, especially the clan leader of yours. A person in a position of authority wouldn't readily hand it over to someone else."
"My lord, Saresha doesn't know for what reason you are posing as a human and siding with them, but I said it before, and I will say it again; I can guarantee that no one in the Dark Fae Clan will oppose your authority if you just reveal your power to them."
"Hm?" Leon furrowed his brows and said, "Elaborate."
"Yes, my lord." Saresha nodded in compliance and said, "Then, please pardon Saresha for speaking freely. My lord doesn't seem to understand much about my lord's own power."
"Although it was only for a brief moment, Saresha could tell that my lord's power of darkness was very special as if my lord was born to rule over the demon. In front of my lord's power of darkness, Saresha felt suppressed."
"You're talking about this power?"
Leon casually summoned an orb of darkness and showed it to Saresha before she quickly nodded with a difficult expression.
"Y-yes, my lord—! Please show mercy, m-my lord! Saresha's power of darkness is about to run out of control—!"
Saresha pleaded.
Leon casually retracted the orb of darkness back into the black energy core he formed during the Revolving Core Realm.
After reaching Early-stage Heaven Ascension Realm, it had grown much denser and bigger.
Nevertheless, he did not expect that his power of darkness would have such a great effect on other creatures of darkness before even catching a glimpse of the Eternal Darkness Law in the Truth Manifestation Realm.
'Is this might of the Devil Emperor's Tome of Eternal Darkness?' Leon mused.
Given Saresha's strong reaction, his power of darkness could suppress every demon below the level of Greater Demon.
'Thy who controls the Law of Eternal Darkness shall lord over the world of darkness and all its creations, huh? So, this was what it meant…'
Leon recalled one of the opening verses in the Devil Emperor's Tome of Eternal Darkness before coming to an understanding.
Although he had yet to comprehend the Law of Eternal Darkness, his power of darkness was still on a higher level than normal darkness due to the belief imprinted in the opening verses.
'Does this mean that so long as I gain complete mastery of the Devil Emperor's Tome of Eternal Darkness, I can become the absolute ruler of demons? Not exactly what I signed up for, but this is even better.'
The Peak-stage Divine Kings were rulers of their kingdoms and divine regions with many cultivators under their command.
Having an army of demons might prove to be useful in the future.
Sometime later, Leon instructed Saresha to be on standby as he resumed cultivation and drew in the surrounding Darkness Energy in his new location.
Divine Will!
The gathering of Darkness Energy immediately sped up several times under the power of Leon's divine will.
'What a monstrous absorption ability!'
Saresha quickly showed her shock before she understood that her new lord was the source of the change that Lord Suron sent her group to investigate.
With such an incredible ability, her new lord was bound to become a mighty existence, with or without the support of cultivation resources.
Two hours quickly passed, but Leon did not show the slightest sign of advancing to Mid-stage Heaven Ascension Realm.
The Heaven Ascension Realm requires enormous energy, and the requirement will only continue increasing exponentially with each stage until the black energy core reaches saturation for the Truth Manifestation Realm.
Even the Void Realm did not require so much energy.
A short moment later, Leon's eyes snapped open and swept out with his divine sense upon sensing the presence of others in the area.
"A group of 24 Lesser Demons, and there are five dark faes among them, huh?"
"My lord, are you going to…"
Saresha showed a slightly concerned look before Leon waved his hand nonchalantly and said with assurance, "Relax, your clansmen will all be given a chance to submit to me."
"Thank you, my lord."
