Chapter 43: Ch 43 : Demon of Discord

"Money comes and goes~" Sunny hummed a tune from his homeland, a melody that represented the flow of money.

If collected and not used, it was nothing but paper.

He had already used all the money he got from trading with the system.

Now, he only had a few thousand faith points, which was still much more than what half the gods possessed.

All the Demigods Sunny created were now helping their races survive.

The Demigods of the humans and elves were the only ones living idly because of the growth of their races.

All of them chose the best talent from their races; for example, the human Demigod chose super strength, the elven Demigod chose magic affinity, and so on.

The God of the Beastfolk was a chimera, whose each part was made up of different beasts, yet it looked harmonious.

The God of the Merfolk was a nine-headed serpent beast, each head with its own brain and thoughts but all linked together.

For the next 12 hours, Sunny had nothing to do, so he chose to practice magic and think of an idea to open up the trading space.

But nothing came to his mind, so he chose to put all his efforts into practicing magic.

After a few hours, Nova sent a mental message to Sunny.

Hearing Nova, Sunny looked at Veridia and descended directly to the place where Nova was.

Nova was currently floating in the air above the ocean between the northern and western continents.

Seeing Sunny descend, Nova bowed his head and then explained what had happened.

Sunny looked at Nova’s disheveled appearance; a few of its scales were missing and blood gushed out.

"How are your injuries?" Sunny asked, concerned by Nova’s appearance.

"It’s nothing to worry about, Master; I will heal in a few days," Nova said.

Through the connection between them, he felt the concern wasn’t fake.

Sunny nodded and directly placed his hands on Nova’s head and took off two talents, elemental defense and physical defense.

Then he gave him the talent "Absolute Defense." This talent was a combination and enhanced version of both defenses, and talents with words like "divine" and "absolute" were top-tier.

This talent gave Nova absolute defense against physical, elemental, magical, mental, curses, etc.

This talent also had an effect similar to high-level regeneration.

But "Absolute" doesn’t mean it can’t be broken, but it was the top-notch defense available for mortals and Demigods.

Nova clearly felt his strength decrease first, as if something was being snatched from him, but he didn’t resist Sunny.

Then, out of nowhere, a power entered his body, which increased all its defenses and regeneration, thus healing all the wounds on Nova’s body.

"This is your gift for your contribution to Veridia," Sunny said and then looked into the ocean.

In the ocean, there was a demon. Sunny used his "God’s Eyes" on this demon and found its race, grade, and entire lifetime. Instantly, Sunny’s mind was filled with millions of years of the demon’s life.

It was a lesser Demigod among the demons.

By seeing the demon’s entire life, Sunny found a lot of information.

The demon realm that Sunny witnessed was just a part of the demon realm.

The demon realm was divided into seven realms; each realm was controlled by one demon lord, who were like the gods of the demon race.

These demon lords were ancient and had lived for billions of years. These realms further had many empires and kingdoms.

The kingdoms were ruled by lesser Demigods, and empires were ruled by higher Demigods.

This Demigod was from the Bone-Riven race.

The demon was a colossal, muscular humanoid with pale, almost bone-white skin stretched taut over bulging muscles.

Its most striking feature was a crown of jagged, bone-like spikes and horns that erupted from its upper back and shoulders, giving it a monstrous, intimidating silhouette.

Its face was a terrifying snarl, with glowing red eyes, sharp fangs, and a wide, menacing mouth.

The demon wore crude, dark metal armor on its wrists and waist, and a tattered loincloth that seemed to be made of coarse hide or fabric.

Its hands and feet were massive, with sharp, talon-like claws.

It wielded a massive, double-bladed axe that looked heavy enough to shatter stone.

It had talents like monstrous strength, demonic rage, spiked carapace, stone-shattering axe, and resilience.

But no matter what the talents were, it was dead.

The space of Veridia was connected to this kingdom of the demon realm.

Now that the ruler of this kingdom was dead, Sunny had a lot of time to increase his strength.

But Sunny was also worried, as the realm Veridia was connected to was part of the strongest demon lord’s realm, the Demon of Discord, Deimon.

From a very famous folklore in the demon realm, Sunny got to know that Deimon was not the strongest at the start, when the demons were just born.

He was the weakest demon lord among all seven.

But after sowing discord between gods and demons and through his talent, which increased his strength and magic the more discord he sowed, he became the strongest among all the demon lords.

Even all the other six combined would not be able to defeat him.

Sunny’s need for strength increased even more; he wanted his life forms and Demigods to become even stronger.

Thus, he decided to give system access to all the life forms and Demigods, but they would have different types of systems, which would make them different from the gods.

Sunny began to think about the two most concerning matters: first, trading with other gods, and second, a system for all the life forms and Demigods.

He looked at Veridia and found a boom in the population of Veridia.

The fertility boost would work for one day, and Sunny needed to think of buffs for the future, too.

But these analytical parts could be left to Thea.

Sunny went back to his God space and began practicing magic again.

He had already reached C-Grade; the speed of his enhancement was truly miraculous.
