Virus King - Chapter 112

Chapter 112: Hell’s Bride! Solomon’s Seventy-Two Demons!

TL: YYang

In his past life, there had been a particularly famous Evolver.

Unlike the other Saint-level Evolvers, this was a lone wolf—a solitary figure.

He was not affiliated with any organization and did not establish any Evolver city.

However, his strength was so overwhelming that it was acknowledged by countless people.

His moniker was known as the Transcendent Saint.

The earliest incident that brought fame to this Transcendent Saint was when, single-handedly, he cleared the Red Star Psychiatric Hospital.

At the same time, he posted a deep-dive strategy and unveiled some hidden secrets about this Red Star Psychiatric Hospital on the forum.

At that time, Chen Bai had already reached level 17 and above.

After all, traveling from Jiangcheng to Magic City, a journey of over a thousand miles, had led to significant growth.

However, despite being unable to enter, he had at least a rudimentary understanding of the Red Star Psychiatric Hospital in Magic City.

He had also skimmed through some documents about this secret realm, though he hadn’t paid particular attention to them.

According to the Transcendent Saint, there was a major figure deeply tied to this secret realm! A figure whose arrival could be summoned!

In Hell, and in various myths and legends, there was a special group.

The name “Satan” was often considered synonymous with the Devil King, the Lord of Hell.

But in reality, the existence of Satan was something uncertain!

In the holy texts left behind by the Creator of Light, all enemies, all devils of Hell, seemed to be lumped together under the name Satan.

There were rumors that Hell, this unique plane of existence, was initially created by that first Satan.

And now, the being associated with this Red Star Psychiatric Hospital secret realm was named “Zepar.”

A devil from legend.

The sixteenth demon of the seventy-two demons of Solomon!

An entity from Hell whose power was unimaginable!

The “seventy-two demons” was merely a title; it was evident that there could not literally be seventy-two actual gods.

From what Chen Bai knew, only the first demon among the seventy-two was a true god; he had no interaction or knowledge of the others.

However, this sixteenth demon was unlikely to be a true god. Then again, one did not need to be a god to command respect.

After all, how exalted was the rank of a god?

Throughout the universe, across the myriad worlds, and through countless battles in the God and Devil Trial Grounds, how many gods had been born and fallen?

And in this psychiatric hospital, there was indeed a connection to that figure!

Han Xiao’s hand, holding the resume, trembled slightly. Beside him, there was also a diary!

The diary contained the writings of Zhao Changlin!

The Han family had a peculiar situation that went back several generations before Han Xiao.

From that special era a hundred years ago, every generation in their family had produced one son and one daughter.

The son would inherit the family business and carry on the lineage, while the daughter would either disappear or be unrecorded in family records.

And all these daughters of the Han family were sent to this equally strange psychiatric hospital.

They were offered as Hell’s Brides, to serve by the side of a certain entity!

“Zepar!?”

Han Xiao opened his mouth, muttering to himself.

Chen Bai, however, grew intrigued, his gaze fixed on the diary and the information on the case file.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

Han Xiao’s aunt was named Han Chunjuan.

She had come to this psychiatric hospital twenty-six years ago, becoming its most unusual patient.

In truth, this so-called “patient” held an extremely high status!

As the bride of the sixteenth demon of Solomon, her position was naturally exalted.

In fact, the first generation of the Han family had descended from a union between Zepar and a woman of the Han family.

The bloodline of Solomon’s demon had always flowed within the Han family.

Chen Bai furrowed his brow slightly.

He was genuinely puzzled now.

Did this background emerge only after the arrival of Cosmic Will, or had it existed even before its arrival!?

However, according to the rules of Cosmic Will, a world without transcendent power would not permit the descent of transcendent beings.

And if this were just an ordinary world, why would a devil have any interest in it? Could the seventy-two demons from historical legends have actually appeared on Blue Star?

Was there something unique about Blue Star!?

Chen Bai fell into deep thought.

‘Han Chunrong (Han Xiao’s father) accidentally discovered the true nature of the Han family. Then, after Han Xiao and his sister were born, he tried to strangle Han Xiao’s infant sister to death, only to be stopped… His demon bloodline was forcibly extracted, and he was declared insane.’

‘Afterward, the so-called Daughter of Hell disappeared without a trace. At the same time, Han Chunjuan was taken away by a figure of great power sixteen days ago, vanishing as well!’

‘Simultaneously, that powerful figure left a divine oracle! The God and Devil Trial Grounds will descend upon this world. No longer will He need to descend through spiritual possession! One day, He shall arrive here in His true form!’

‘As for Han Chunjuan, just as Cosmic Will descended, she was taken back to Hell through reverse-sacrifice and became the true Hell’s Bride!’

‘Furthermore, that initial Daughter of Hell, as the powerful figure explained, had already been taken to Hell from the very beginning and raised there!’

Han Xiao stared at the Han family’s medical records and at Zhao Changlin’s diary—this manservant of Zepar’s—utterly bewildered.

Even Chen Bai found himself glancing at Han Xiao with a hint of curiosity.

This guy’s family background was… interesting.

Dante, was it?

And he even had a special-status sister?!

And such a deeply entangled family history?!

Could it be that this guy was actually the main character!?

Chen Bai’s eyes showed a hint of amusement.

Not just him—others also cast teasing glances at Han Xiao. Meng Meng, an imaginative otaku girl who was quite adept at this genre, immediately spoke up:

“So, now that you know your origins and identity, are you filled with hatred for your devil-blooded ancestors? Swearing to slay them in revenge?”

“Then, you train diligently, eventually enter Hell, and there you encounter your sister, transformed into the Daughter of Hell! After some intense family drama, you defeat her, helping her realize her human roots!”

“Finally, you team up with your sister to engage in a life-or-death battle with Zepar, overcoming countless hardships to kill him. You become the new Lord of Hell and live a happy life with your sister!”

The corner of Chen Xiao’s mouth twitched. Damn, as wild as it sounded, this storyline actually seemed plausible.

Everyone then looked toward Han Xiao.

Han Xiao froze for a moment, then cracked a grin and replied: “Why should I go killing some so-called Demon King? If it weren’t for this inherited bloodline awakening my mental talents, I’d probably have ended up a zombie like my dad!”

Han Xiao smirked as he spoke: “Besides, wouldn’t this demon be a great benefactor? Shouldn’t he take good care of me?”

Crow and Meng Meng were taken aback, and Crow gave Han Xiao a thumbs-up, as if to say, “Not a bad point!”

But Chen Bai interjected coolly: “The question is, do you want your future daughter to become your ancestor’s next bride?”

At those words, the smile on Han Xiao’s face froze abruptly.
