Chapter 984: Chapter 37: Demon, Martial Arts King, Correction

Gu Mo had a very gentlemanly demeanor, with a kindly smile on his face and his tone was very easygoing.

He expressed full understanding and concern for the plight of the two impoverished demons from the Otherworld, and his words were filled with humanity. After learning about their current circumstances, he had no intention of collecting debts and even generously waved off their rent for the past two months.

No deposit required, no rent collected, and so generous——

The two demons, who were only doing slightly better than a certain five-yen-a-job God of Poverty, felt both ashamed and touched.

"Just consider it as a reward..."

Gu Mo was quite calm about this, just like when he planned to bribe Yato God with pure financial means, the difference being whether the other party was aware of it or not.

Even without stating it, he was confident that if he explained that a reduction in rent was possible, these two demons would definitely be willing to cooperate, giving a few pounds of blood would not be a problem...emmmmm, okay, based on their current situation, giving a few pounds of blood might be a big issue.

Yet, that’s the logic, and two demons driven mad by poverty might really be tempted by the opportunity to sell blood to easily cover months of rent...

Huh, wait a minute...

Perhaps he could...

At this thought, Gu Mo’s heart was stirred, yet his face remained expressionless.

At this moment, through complex Perception, he bullied both Demon King and Demon Grand Marshal who couldn’t detect it, carefully scanning the state of the two.

However, the gain wasn’t great, just none at all...

Because without Magic Power, the two, stripped of their Demon Race lineage, seemed to be purely normal humans from the surface. Not only were there no horns, no scales, no wings, no tail, no variety of demon features...but they seemed really transformed completely into ordinary humans.

At least from the surface, there’s nothing particularly noticeable.

The extraordinary traits capable of converting "emotion" into "energy" with amazing efficiency using the emotional spectrum seem to not exist...or perhaps they exist in some deeper layers and are not surface-level.

At least...it cannot be so easily detected or deciphered by him.

Gu Mo’s eyes shifted, quickly contemplating and cross-referencing relevant data records in his vast memory database.

On one level, Ante Yisula World could be seen as a Mirror Earth’s replica, where science underwent drastic changes and the whole transformed into a Magical World view plane...time hurriedly passed, thousands of years later, even they could hardly understand the past history.

Whether angels or demons, originally they were humans.

They merely marched in different directions in the struggle, victors wrote history, losers lost everything...

The Angel race resulted from humans undergoing some biological modification related to the "Tree of Life", achieving eternal life and powerful abilities, and after a series of bodily changes; while the Demon race were humans not chosen by the Tree of Life as evolvable.

The latter was similarly used for human experimentation for "eternal life", their bodies developing horns, tails, etc., and obtaining incomplete eternal life.

——That’s all.

Just like the true face of Demon King Castle being a spaceship, unfortunately now few know this, divisions, internal conflicts, destruction, after a series of blows the original world had moved far from its glorious past.

Angels high above...

Demons living harshly in the Demon Realm...

The Human Realm retreated to a feudal era akin to the Middle Ages...

Gu Mo thoughtfully scrutinized the two demons before him, perhaps after losing the support of Magic Power, they’ve really turned back into humans, a fundamental change——but their peculiarity indeed lies in the modification through "Tree of Life" particle?

Tree of Life.

Literally, particles can be said to be fruits borne by the Tree of Life.

Due to some special reasons, the foundational particles of Ante Yisula World were shattered, the fragments scattered across. If the plot premise hasn’t changed, then the particles he might interact with currently number three, Masaki Oda’s necklace, Amilia’s Holy Sword, and Holy Clothes...

They should all be particle fragments.

Hmm, not quite right, Masaki Oda seems not to have brought particles, should not have brought them...

Scanning Masaki Oda quickly, not finding a necklace around his neck, Gu Mo was slightly disappointed. However, considering she’s the other party’s daughter, it’s best not to cause a scene, perhaps trying with Miss Brave might work.

After all, Miss Brave has two particle fragments, she might be willing to lend one to him?

Contemplating uncertainly, Gu Mo timely stood up to bid farewell, preparing to leave. Masaki Oda and his companion both breathed a huge sigh of relief; although the landlord was a good person, they were also indeed a creditor, and the two, suddenly imbued with moral consciousness, were uneasy in the presence of the creditor.
