Novel Full Chapter 1306 The Many Demon Kings
——
Luminous, the Hero King of the Luminous Kingdom, the one that defeated the Demon King of Miasma in the past, who had to sacrifice himself at the end to seal him away when Erebus had first awakened.
He was a formidably powerful Hero, to go against a monster like Erebus on his own. He was probably someone beyond any level, skill, or player’s strength. Singlehandedly capable of fighting a World Boss on his own.
However, it wasn’t as if he did this alone, he had many friends, and they gave him their strength. Titania did, and also the Mushroom Brigade, for example.
And even now, Erebus remembers Luminous with fondness, apparently he wants to be like him, which I find rather interesting and a bit adorable, he wants to really be a hero.
“So that’s how it is,” the Queen nodded. “I did tell you not to speak though!”
“S-Sorry…” Erebus muttered, lowering his head.
“About the Demon Kings…” she said. “Planta, what else did you find out?”
“Hmm, I believe that each one of them will have a special element to them just like the ones before,” I explained. “And their elemental specialization was something that manifested from within Erebus as he was made out of the divinities of every God unified together, and also from the Yggdragon.”
“The Yggdragon?” wondered the King.
“Yes, the Demon Kings were never truly defeated due to their incredibly resilient existences,” I explained. “His fragments, sealed by Yggdrasil and the gods’ divine powers became their food over eons, as they attempted to free themselves, they devoured the fragments, which twisted their corrupted divine powers and turned them very different to how they used to be. For example, the two previous Demon Kings before the Demon King of Miasma were like monsters, they lacked any intelligence to begin with, they embodied the more berserk aspects of Erebus. Meanwhile the third inherited most of his mind and original appearance. After the third, they begin to diverge and look completely different than before until its even hard to tell if they were once Erebus.”
The King and the Queen nodded attentively; they were listening.
“The King of the Kingdom of Sorrow, Thanatos,” I explained. “Was the Demon King Fragment that reincarnated as a Human in this Kingdom, a prince that ascended to the throne. It was until his entire Kingdom was slain, him included that upon his death and the death of everyone else he loved that he awakened his Demon King Soul and became one. As you can see, because he was reincarnated, he became a completely different person. He has a grudge against me because I’ve assimilated the Yggdragon’s legacy and become the new one myself. This is also the reason why I’m a World Boss. I have a similar status to the Demon Kings, I inherited the power of someone made by the gods combined divinities, Erebus arch-nemesis.”
“Incredible…” the King said. “So many mysteries finally resolved… We should definitely write this down for the next generations to learn the truth of the world.”
“I would rather do that later honey,” said the Queen. “For now, I am indeed impressed, but I have a couple of other Questions. Planta, do you know who the next Demon Kings will be?”

“Yes, I know,” I nodded. “I know them all.”
“The First Fragment, the Demon King of Plagues.” I explained. “He was the first World Boss that awakened upon the appearance of Players. I think he was a giant worm or something? According to what I’ve seen online.”
“I remember that thing, I was part of the team that took him down,” said the Queen. “He was definitely powerful to us when we were only around Level 100 or 150 back then… But it was certainly weaker compared to Miasma or Death. It lived in a giant dungeon in a small island, which we had to visit to defeat him. It was full of bugs and the giant worm, which was green colored with purple spikes, could control these bugs as it pleased, and there were billions of them. ultimately, it supposedly had a second phase where if we took too long to defeat it, it would become a giant butterfly and spread poison and plagues everywhere in the world through the skies. Thankfully he was taken down before that happened.”
“Hmph, he was a weakling,” Erebus shrugged, he wasn’t even bothered about them dying. “A mere bug monster… could you even call it a Demon King, hah.”
“The Second Fragment, the Demon King of Famine.” I continued. “He was the second World Boss that appeared a couple of months later, right?”
“Ah yeah,” nodded the Queen. “I also helped defeating him. He appeared as a giant three-headed wolf that roamed this continent, destroying anything it found. It was very powerful and had the ability to devour things to gain more power. Causing famine as it ate all the food. It was a World Boss that unlike the previous one, moved around the entire continent, so we had to coordinate and predict where it would go. We failed many times, but ultimately we learned that by gathering so much food it would feed a whole country in a single place, the thing would appear there and begin devouring everything. That’s where we jumped it with over three hundred players, by the end of it, barely six of them survived, me included.”
“He was a weakling too,” nodded Erebus. “Too busy wanting to eat.”
“The Third Fragment, the Demon King of Miasma.” I continued. “Erebus right here… He god a whole continent for himself and everything.”
“The Fourth Fragment, the Demon King of Death.” I said. “The one we’re dealing with right now, hasn’t fully stepped out of the Underworld.”
“The Fifth Fragment, the Demon King of Flood.” I continued. “This should be the next one after the giant pile of bones. I have no idea what it could be, but it might be related with the oceans. Maybe a giant fish?”
“The Sixth Fragment, the Demon King of Swarms.” I said. “Maybe similar to the first one, capable of creating bugs and control them…”
“And the Seventh Fragment, the Demon King of The End.” I finished. “This… this is the strongest. And the one that might also be the ruler of hell, and the origin of all other Demons. The strongest of them all, and the one that could destroy the world if he’s freed from hell.”
