The Seven Demon Kings!
The astonishing answer left everyone dumbfounded. Mona reacted the quickest, saying immediately, "Boss, the situation is extremely critical, we must contact the Holy See right now."
"Stay calm, let’s get the details first."
Wayne’s heartbeat quickened slightly as he continued to interrogate Mary Ann’s thoughts, "Clarify what you mean, how did the divine power of the Seven Demon Kings descend, and to what extent?"
"Our family hoped to obtain powerful magic from Lord Austin and gain a foothold in the Magic Department, willing to pay any price for it. The solution Lord Austin offered was Hell..."
Mary Ann spoke woodenly, the Snow Family was too desperate for advancement. In order to squeeze into the magical circle, they didn’t shy away from making deals with devils.
Austin had always been in search of Hell Devils, and he took interest in the ambition of the Snow Family. Using an Alchemy Array to open the Hell Gate, he channeled the divine power of the Seven Demon Kings into our world, transforming the members of the Snow Family one by one.
Like Mary Ann, who was completely remodeled after the image of a Familiar of the Lord of Lust, consequently she gained the body and some abilities of a Succubus.
Setting aside power, judging only by appearance and some abilities, she was like a Succubus walking in the human world.
The rest of the Snow Family members were turned into corresponding Familiars of the Seven Demon Kings. They were vessels modified by Austin, used to host the thoughts of the Demon Kings, so he could find suitable partners for them.
Mary Ann didn’t know much about Austin; the intelligence she had was very limited. It had always been the family head, Adelaide, who was in direct contact with Austin. Wayne pieced together the information at hand to analyze the sequence of Austin’s schemes.
Not one of the Seven Great Demon Kings gave a damn about him.
In desperation, Austin chose a Devil from the middle lower reaches of Hell, the Thousand-Eyed Demon, and later, lusting for Wayne’s body, kicked the Thousand-Eyed Demon to the curb.
Wayne guessed the general process and let out a sigh of relief, "Just as I thought, if the Hell Gate were so easily opened, the human world would have long been overrun with devils. The Snow Family was merely Austin’s test subjects for summoning devils, and they are failed ones at that."
"Boss, we can’t let our guard down," Mona advised.
"I understand. Although the Seven Demon Kings didn’t respond to Austin, they still bestowed divine powers individually. They don’t mind having suitable vessels in the human realm," Wayne nodded. He had seen similar tricks several times; suitable vessels can host more thoughts descending from above.
The Blood Tyrant’s Dragon Blood + Holy Spirit Physique, the Thousand-Eyed Demon’s half-human, half-insect – these were all vessels prepared for the descent. A good vessel is too important for a Devil.
If it were Heaven or the other Churches, the minimum requirement for a descent is also a public bus physique.
Although the Seven Demon Kings didn’t bother with Austin, they each granted divine power to create their vessels. This indicated that they had left their mark on the Snow Family members. Keeping them around was definitely a hazard. To avoid prolonged trouble, they must be eliminated immediately.
It was to eliminate immediately, not to leave any survivors to be sent to Lundan.
Not one of the Magic Department’s Legendary Mages is human. If Wayne were to send survivors to them, they would dare to inherit Austin’s legacy and continue the research.
Should the day come when the Seven Demon Kings descend in Lundan, it wouldn’t be too much to execute the Legendary Mages a hundred times over, and Wayne twenty times.
Putting it bluntly, just for their own futures, the Legendary Mages would be willing to make deals with devils, and the Queen, for the crown upon her head, would likely not mind raising a few Devil vessels.
This was not just any vessel, but the vessels of the Seven Demon Kings. Even the Pope would shudder at the sight.
"Let’s go, to the Snow Family!"
Wayne took a deep breath. A simple raid had dug out such a big issue, deepening his understanding of the Magic Department.
Austin once said that the Golden Mages of the Magic Department are willing to shed blood and behead for the country. The Legendary Mages would not. At that level, their personal interests are no longer tied to the nation’s.
Austin had proven what Austin had said to be true, daring to create the vessels of the Seven Demon Kings within the Windsor Domain for his own career.
