Chapter 352: Chapter 220 Demon, I Want to Make a Wish
“I must… awaken the demon inside me.”
With the young man’s slightly mad words falling, the room suddenly fell silent.
In an instant, Hillena seemed to think of something, her face changing abruptly: “You mean…”
It wasn’t that the two were speaking in riddles.
It was just that the amount of information implied was so astonishing that even with Hillena’s perspective, she found it hard to believe.
What Lynn referred to was not an empty gesture, nor was it a figurative word used in literature to describe the evil thoughts in a human heart.
This demon, was the Creation Demon—Yuvalia—that once resided within him during the Wish Jar event.
That battle involved the struggle between the King of Cruelty and the Creation Demon, plus Lynn’s interference, which led to a situation where both parties were injured.
This was the hidden truth that Ivyst had gone to great lengths to conceal in the interrogation records sent to Glostit.
To this day, the major figures in the Imperial Capital still had little understanding of the true events that had happened in the Soron Mountain Range.
They only knew that a young man named Lynn Bartleion had handled everything and ultimately survived the hands of the two Great Demons.
Saint Laurent VI seemed to have vaguely guessed something.
However, he was still far from the truth.
Only at this moment, when Lynn’s words reached Hillena’s ears, did she understand everything.
If the guy in front of her wasn’t joking, then including her, everyone’s assumptions were wrong.
Putting aside the King of Cruelty for the moment.
Just speaking of the Creation Demon, the being had neither been killed nor disappeared without a trace in the border battles.
Whether it was called residing or slumbering.
In any case, the High-dimensional Demon was very likely existing inside Lynn Bartleion.
Although she didn’t know how he managed it, if the truth of the matter was indeed so, then many things would make sense.
But back at the border, he had just been stripped of the Divine-given factor within him.
As an ordinary person, how could he possibly seal a being of the same rank as the divine within himself?
Unless there was someone behind him…
For a moment, Hillena felt like she had seen through many things and shivered with a mix of revelation and fear.
Matters involving divine beings call for the utmost caution.
At this moment, she was already harboring some regrets about her intentions.
But this turned out to be an overthought on her part.
The power and consciousness of Yuvalia residing within him had already been eradicated by Miss Witch.
As an existence that is not only the most ancient in the river of time but also the most mysterious and powerful, when she said it was dealt with, there would truly be no oversight.
Even in Lynn’s view, the gap between the Creation Demon and Miss Witch at that time was probably even greater than the one between him and the Creation Demon.
He was indeed an ant in the eyes of Yuvalia.
But wasn’t it the same for Yuvalia in the eyes of Miss Witch?
So, strictly speaking, Lynn’s words just now actually contained a bit of exaggeration and fearmongering.
And this was the result he intended.
Perceiving Hillena’s silence, as if she was reconsidering the deal just mentioned, Lynn hesitated no longer and slowly said, “Actually, this matter is not as dangerous as you imagine, please allow me to explain the reason…”
Then Lynn began to recount.
He highlighted the key points of the events in the Soron Mountain Range, narrated them in chronological order to her, and clarified all the causes and effects.
Including the “High-dimensional Demon Blood” obtained from the greed magic box, he roughly restored the truth of the entire incident.
Of course, the key parts related to Miss Witch, he glossed over vaguely, attributing some inconsistencies to the Princess.
In the end, after the consciousness and power of the Creation Demon were erased, the only external element left inside Lynn was the core characteristic of the Wish Jar.
If we were to make a human analogy, the core characteristic to the Sealed Object was like the soul to the body.
Previously in the Soron Mountain Range, due to the prolonged contact and the Creation Demon’s intention to seize his body, this core characteristic had fused with Lynn’s soul to a certain extent.
This fusion seemed irreversible, and even Miss Witch did not dare to act rashly.
She could only completely seal it, leaving it within Lynn for the time being, which would not erupt for years to come.
After leaving the Pantheon, that core characteristic truly disappeared from the world as if evaporating.
Impossible to sense, impossible to capture.
Yet it truly existed.
It was a ticking bomb set to explode at any moment, but it had reached some unanticipated harmony with his body, creating a situation where each left the other undisturbed.
This was Lynn’s ultimate goal.
According to his guess, even though the true body of the Creation Demon had been eradicated by Miss Witch, after years of residing, it had probably already become part of the Wish Jar, playing the role of ‘the living characteristic’.
In other words, like an AI executing its inherent program.
Thus, what Lynn had to do now was to awaken this program and attempt to subdue this power.
Although it sounded as fanciful as fairy tales, it was the last resort Lynn could think of.
“…That is what happened back then.”
