Lord Shadow

The other two worlds are created by the Demon Emperor where he put all of the captives that the Seresian world had conquered.

From what Azief understood, the Demon Emperor and his army once went into an expedition outside of the Seresian world, conquering low level worlds.

The Seresian world needed resources as the world itself is dying.

The living being that they captured from other worlds is not strong enough to become their threat but good enough that they could supply certain workforce to their world.

Because the Seresian world population had a drop in fertility, the population of the Seresian true demon is decreasing year by year.

As for the Seresian demonic soldiers most of them are born in the Rebirth Hub.

As such, they grow fast but they also die fast and with their low level intelligence, they are not suitable to take the torch of the legacy of the Seresian demon

Everything has a price.

The Rebirth hub enables the Seresian leaders to quickly create demonic soldiers but the soldiers that they are created are like simple creatures, animals that does not possess true intelligence.

When the Demon Emperor was still alive, the weakness and the demerit of using the Rebirth hub is not obvious because the Demon Emperor alone could supply the energy toward the Rebirth Hub by himself.

But when he died, and the rings which gave him the power to become the Demon Emperor disappeared, the surviving Seresian leader finds out that they just accelerated the decline of their civilization.

But they also could not just not use the Rebirth hub.

As the energy in their world decline, the reproduction rate of their race fall even harder.

And they are not a race that could construct mechanical robots as there is no such scientist like figure in their civilization.

Their civilization had always admired powerful demons and their path was that of the strengthening of body and not the mind.

So, they still use the Rebirth Hub furthering the decline. And their slave population becomes more important

The two worlds which is connected to the main world of the Seresian is basically a slave world.

All of the people living in that world are slaves of the Seresian world.

They were allowed to grow, to procreate and to prospers. And then when the main world needed resources, they would come.

To the people of that world, it might seem like an invasion of otherworldly creatures. Because those people did not know that above their sky, is another sky.

The passing of time is different from the main world.

But of course, it did not differ that much considering that to apply extreme time differences between the worlds would require much energy, energy that the Seresian world doesn't have.

It would also affect the stability of the dimension of the Seresian world if they adjust the time differences to be too much

The Seresian world conquers other worlds and uses their resources to try to stave off the deterioration of their main world

At that time, Azief did not understand why they did not just move to another star system.

With the power of the Demon Emperor he could easily colonize other star system or even went to other galaxy

Of course, at that time, Azief did not have the knowledge he has now.

He did not know that the Seresian world is running from the judgment of the United Intergalactic Alliance and hide in a dimension in between universes in Omniverse.

Because of that, they were cut off from the energy of the Omniverse and the Universe itself. The world they have is slowly dying and they could not just leave it.

Leaving it means being captured by the United Intergalactic Alliance. Not leaving however makes them weaker with each passing generation

The solution that they got was that they conquered worlds and brought the people of that world to become slaves or servant while they plundered their world

The Demon Emperor created two worlds to houses the slaves. In that two worlds there is all kinds of alien races.

But most of these alien races is alien races that did not yet go to the stars.

Azief could likened them to civilization that just about to bloom. Some of them barely reached medieval age in their world

There is elves-like creatures, and human-like creatures that had become the slaves of the Seresian world

Most of them did not even know that their world is actually a slave world.

Since there is a time difference between the two worlds, when the Seresian demon did come to take people to become slave to their world, thousands of years had passed in the slave world.

There is also the reset plan that the Seresian demon had applied.

Each time any civilization in the slave world reaches to a point where there are strong enough, the Seresian world would send their army to eradicate it and wipes out any traces of that civilization and let the world started again.

When Azief first come into this world, he had fallen into one of these slave world.

He was picked by one of the Demons to become a slave and was sent to the main world.

he doesn't know whether that was lucky or unlucky. He just had to fall into that world during the time the Seresian demon decided to take slaves to the main world.

If one looks at what happens, it would have been an unlucky moment. Yet, it is because he was captured and turned into a slave that he had managed to get the Ten Eternal Rings.

While he did rarely uses the rings, the rings had always remain his trump card. And he knew that there is a connection between the rings and the Etherna

Everything seems like fate and destiny.

The way the Demon Lords maintained controls is by putting a Seresian demon of true blood as governors to govern the world, hidden in a secret space inside those two world, appearing only when they are ordered to harvest the living beings in that world.

because most of the alien creatures that they captured is weak in terms of strength, it is not a hard task for them to control even trillions of populations.

That is how he had come to serve a Demonic Prince and had the opportunity to gain the ring. But now, the sight had shocked him.

There are humans all around but not one Seresian demon.

The more he looks around him, the more he became perplexed.

What had happened?

He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he did not even have the time to appreciate the beauty of the gardens and the flowers around him.

They both walk quite leisurely, taking in the scene and letting the wind pass by them. Katarina look at Azief and she knows he has many question

'Ask me' she said as they were walking. The distance from the walkway to the front door could be said not that long.

At least it is not for them.

But it could also be long. If they take their time.

Since Katarina ask such a question, it is clear she wanted to take her time.

Now, that Katarina had approached the topic first, Azief first question was

'How much time had passed since you came here?' this is the question in his mind right now.

With his level, he could tell that Katarina is already at the pinnacle level of Disk Formation.

While Katarina is already almost at the pinnacle level of Disk Formation on Earth, it is impossible for her to reach such level in just five days unless she had met some fortuitous encounter.

There is also all of this changes that he could not understand. Five days would probably not enough time for things to change this much.

Katarina answer almost immediately

'Five months had passed' she said.

Hearing this Azief frowned a bit.

He is not just a little bit late. He is extremely late.

'How much time had passed on Earth?' she asks. Azief answered

'Five days'

Katarina was surprised but then she understood that this must have something to do with time laws.

She looks at Azief face and trying to make a joke she said

'Five days is not a long time. I guess you don't miss me that much, right? She said.

Azief look up and stares at her, his eyes stare right at her eyes and he shakes his head

'Each day felt like forever' He did not add more words than that. His tone seems cold. But Katarina could feel his warmth in that cold words of his.

Azief is not a man that likes talking sweet nothings. But…. his word does sometimes makes her heart flutter.

Each day felt like forever.

With words like that, how could she not feel touched. Her eyes toward him had always been gentle. She had never blamed him not even once.

And she knew he is blaming himself. That is just the way he is

And once again there is silence between them,

His face did not seem pleasant to look at right now.

He felt like he had let her down.

Katarina saw Azief face changes and she knew he had to explain to him carefully.

She knows Azief.

He likes to take the blame for everything.

Even things he could not control.

She could guess what Azief had done. Because she had the inside scoop. And she needs him to know that this is not his fault.

'What had happened? Why is the Seresian world is like this? There is blue skies and white clouds. There is no Seresian demon and instead I see humans from the slave world here, living peacefully.' he asks

Azief pours a lot of question.

Katarina smiles and said

'I guess I should start from the beginning. Let's talk while we walk'
