<h4>Chapter 889 Fugitive Demon King.</h4>


    All the demons till the high-rank level need sin energy. A low concentration of sin energy will prevent them from growing. The absence of sin energy will cause them to start to die. The sin energy in their body will escape forcefully into the surroundings and they will weaken. They can prolong their lives by eating each other but they are doomed unless sin energy is made avable again.


    The detachment of the ne will also cause it to be disconnected from the demon sire so there won''t be production of new demon fledglings. Demon nobles and the demon dukes will be alright in the absence of sin energy.


    But the ne needs the energy. It won''t be able to run without a constant supply of energy. A prolongedck of energy will cause it to start to break down. Any demon king that detaches his or her ne will need to reconnect it soon or risk losing the entire ne and bing a ne-less demon king.


    These things haven''t happened yet but he can see the beginnings of them. They will surely happen if nothing changes about his situation. Fortunately, Aeternus doesn''t need to do that. He has always had an infinite supply of energy so he is not helpless in that aspect.


    He chuckled deprecatively, "I am a fugitive demon king. I haven''t fallen so low as to be a ne-less demon king."


    He switched the supply of energy from the energy sea to his own soul. Infinite chaos energy flowed directly to the core of the ne. The shiny core was flickering earlier. It shut down now that this new energy entered it. The light it was giving off died downpletely and the ne was plunged into darkness.


    The core didn''t die. It just wasn''t designed to be used with chaos energy. It can use it to sustain itself without burning up because it is connected to Aeternus''s soul. But that''s all it can do with chaos energy. It can''t produce light at all.


    Aeternus shrugged and said, "It''s alright. Demons don''t need light anyway."


    The ne will survive and that''s all that matters. Every demon can see in the dark. High-rank demons and above don''t even need eyes anymore once they get their divine sense. The only advantage of eyes is that it has a farther range.


    He can make his chaos energy flood the ne to rece sin energy but it will be counterproductive. Only his direct subordinates with his chaos spark within them can use his chaos energy. The rest will be destroyed.


    So either way, he will lose most of the demons in his ne apart from his direct subordinates. They will die because of theck of sin energy. He is already losing ess to the other nes that his subordinates are the demon lords of. His subordinates left those nes for their safety. The loss of those nes and the demons in his ne means that he will lose his entire army. It can''t be helped. It is the price for safety.


    He sat on his throne as he oversaw all the changes to the ne. His eyes shone brightly like two golden stars. He inspected both the internal situation of the ne and its exterior. He rxed when he didn''t notice anything out of ce.


    His ne detached from the abyss with arge disturbance. There was no one there to see it. His avatar is doing a good job of distracting his enemies so they are distracted.


    "I will probably lose that avatar at the end of the day."


    That is what he thought as he became a runaway demon king. His ne began to wander around the energy sea. It sank further below into its depths where it won''t be found. No demon God will be able to find him easily now. He made sure everything is in order before he closed his eyes. The two golden stars of his eyes shut down as the 1696th ne of the abyss became a wandering ne.


    ---------


    Somewhere Far Far Away.


    Somewhere deep and far below the energy sea of the abyss is a veryrge ocean. It is where all the energy seas of every abyss in the void universee from. The water of thisrge ocean is purple like that of the energy sea but it is very thick. It is thick and highly viscous like blood or tar.


    This water travels from the ocean and rises in what can be considered an upward direction into the abyss. This direction applies to entities that can only see the world in 3 dimensions. To those who can see in more dimensions, the water of this ocean copses into the abyss from the direction of lower space-time. It doesn''t rise into the abyss.


    If you want to trace the source of the bloodlike liquid that formed the ocean, you will need to delve further below this ocean. Of course, any being that can do something like that needs to be a world ender at least. Only such a being can withstand the pressure of the ocean depths and the pervasive nature of this bloodlike liquid without being corrupted. A world god cannote close to these depths or riskplete death.


    But even a world-ender will have to cut the trip short. This is because the bloodlike liquid changes the further below you go. Its purple color darkens. It bes violet. Then it bes ck. It is a deep ck that looks very simr to the energy that Aeternus uses.


    The bloodlike liquid has be almost solid by now. The pressure it is emitting will crush any being. A world-ender will feel like an ant encased in a diamond. The solid ck energy has also be so corrosive that it will corrode anything and anyone with just a memory of it. Anyone who so much as thinks about it or sees an image of it will be corroded both in body and mind.
