Evolution: From Little Devil to Devil Empress - Chapter 409: Passing the Third Trial; Obtaining the Complete Inheritance

Chapter 409: Passing the Third Trial; Obtaining the Complete Inheritance

Unlike them, who were a blank slate upon being born in the River of Oblivion, Liora had always possessed the memories of her past life.

This held advantages, such as the ability to remain rational and resist the call of her bloodline, but had less obvious disadvantages at the same time.

Had she unknowingly been affected by the Will of the Demon World and had thus become who she was today?

Although she had reached this point and was about to become an Archdevil, Liora had never had an answer to these questions.

As Liora digested the memories of her alternate self, the one who hadn’t been born in the Demon World and had never been affected by its Will, she felt that she had grasped her “real” self.

“In the second part, ’I’ discovered that I was influenced by someone and did everything in my power to fight against them.”

Liora could see that her alternate self had made guesses about who the person influencing her was.

Yet, despite guessing that the person trying to replace her was her real self, she still chose to fight to keep her freedom.

“Even if I were to learn that I was merely a clone, or an imaginary creature living in an illusion, I would still choose to fight back and regain my freedom.”

Upon this realization, Liora did not have time to pay attention to where she had landed upon exiting the illusion.

Its already part-substantial soul body began growing less illusory, gradually turning into a real body.

Following a thunderous bang, the 10th level of the Crimson Annihilation Technique was finally mastered.

Yet, she instantly felt its benefits.

She didn’t know what to do with it at first.

As she subconsciously operated this technique, the increased power of her physical body began to feed back to her soul’s strength.

Within a moment, it had shed its illusory appearance.

This process lasted for a while.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she sensed that the world around her had become different.

Turning to look at her clone and digesting the memories during the time their connection had been severed, an idea suddenly flashed through her mind.

The soul body within made a move and its power fell onto her clone.

As the inexplicable power emerged, its body was instantly annihilated, down to its very last atoms.

“So this is the real goal of this inheritance.”

“As long as one comprehends the secrets within them, they’ll be able to grasp the imaginary power of their soul.”

That power was far more illusory and could not be used to activate abilities like the rest of them.

If anything, it was the exact opposite.

Liora quickly became excited.

However, before she could do so, a faint cracking echoed in her ears.

As if affected by this, the entire void began to tremble, looking ready to shatter.

She could guess why this happened and the voice in her head further confirmed her doubts.

“Difficulty: Highest. Rating: EX.”

“They’ve been approved to receive the complete inheritance.”
