Later, when the Azure Whale had run out of options, it sought help from the church.

A squad of Gold-level players was teleported over.

Guilliman then went with them to the Twin Demons' stronghold to fight them.

The Twin Demons are very strong. Their stats far exceed those of a normal Gold-tier demon. They also possess a variety of unique characteristics and, quite strangely, powerful physical attributes and terrifying spellcasting abilities.

That battle was extremely difficult, but they eventually killed the two vessels of the Twin Demons and banished him back to the abyss.

This is perfectly normal; after all, the material plane is the territory of the Church, and it is difficult for demons to truly dominate a place.

As long as the Azure Whale has not truly fallen, there will be a continuous stream of golden beings and even saints coming to quell the 'disaster'.

But it also feels abnormal.

The Twin Demons' power was clearly demonstrated, and they also went through a very difficult and arduous battle.

But even after winning, there's a feeling of 'not quite enough'.

It was as if the Twin Demons were not just that, and it seemed that they had not been able to completely eliminate the crisis posed by the Twin Demons.

So they searched for a long time afterward, found and dealt with some possible evil forces, and then thought the matter was over.

But now it seems that their initial premonition was correct.

The presence of Clement, a traitor within the Golden Seed, prevented them from truly severing the Twin Demons' influence on the Azure Whale.

"You actually have another vessel?" Guilliman frowned as he looked at the figure appearing in the sky, his heart filled with extra vigilance.

He realized the seriousness of the problem after the distress call had been sent out long ago but there had been no response.

Even in extremely special circumstances, as the leader of the guild, he could forcibly use the grid to send out a distress message with extremely high privileges.

Once this information appears, a large amount of gold will inevitably come to support it.

The fact that there is none now only proves that communication has truly been cut off.

A traitor of the Gold rank, that's too damaging.

The same applies to a demon who has been operating on the back of a whale for countless years.

"People are misled by the name 'Twin Demons' and think that I really only have two bodies," the Twin Demons replied with a smile.

"Seventy years ago, the impact of our actions grew so great that we had no choice but to expel you guys once to dispel the Church's doubts." The twin demons, dressed in black robes, looked no different from humans.

It could even be said that the Gemini Demons have a tall and well-proportioned figure, possessing a unique charm that is both strong and beautiful.

He was extremely handsome, and the beauty mark at the corner of his eye gave him an alluring charm that appealed to both men and women.

He took one step and was already standing in front of Killieman.

"How about it? Aren't you pleasantly surprised to see me?" the Twin Demons asked with a hearty laugh.

The person gives off an impression that is completely unrelated to demons.

However, Guilliman had lived through the era when the Twin Demons ravaged the land and knew just how vile, disgusting, and cruel these demons were!

During the years when the other side occupied part of the territory, the population of Azure Whale decreased from eight million to three million. It took seventy years for the population to recover and reach the current five million.

Of course, a large portion of them escaped during the mating season of the blue-eyed whale.

However, the number of individuals who died directly or indirectly at the hands of the Twin Demons is roughly two to three million.

That's two to three million people!

"Wait a minute..." The twin demons suddenly raised an eyebrow and looked to the side.

Under his gaze, some originally inconspicuous black auras were forcibly condensed and then revealed Kru's figure.

"I didn't expect to see you here, my dear son."

"I heard you joined that fictitious agreement?"

“Following a different kind of demon won’t get you anywhere. Why not come work for me?” The twin demons smiled at Kru, extending an olive branch.

"Then go die first, and give my mother's body back, okay?" Kru's face was horribly pale at this moment.

He stared intently at the twin demons, or more precisely, at the beauty mark under the twin demons' eyes.

When Kru was a teenager, his mother simply hugged him and gave him her final advice: to hide himself and wait for the twins' aura to emerge before finding an opportunity to leave the Azure Whale.

Then it suddenly disappeared without a trace.

After his search proved fruitless, he heeded his mother's words and secretly joined the church in Baiwei Town, becoming a clergyman.

Then he met Nemes and followed Nemes to create the Fictional Protocol.

He never expected to see his mother again today, this time in the form of his father.

Having the bloodline of the twin demons, he immediately understood what had happened.

His own mother was used as a vessel.

The Twin Demons are born with two bodies, but these two bodies are not fixed and cannot be increased.

The two bodies need a certain degree of 'rebellion' to maintain a state of opposition.

For example, Kru, because he still has half human blood, has a human body and a demon body.

A person becomes a priest and practices sacred magic and spells.

The demon form becomes a curse sorcerer, specializing in various curses.

To create another body, a specific 'target' needs to be found.

A goal that is neither human, nor demon, nor spiritual, yet must maintain a certain opposition with two bodies.

Furthermore, this individual needs to be imbued with the life force of the twin demons for an extended period of time.

It was only then that Kru realized why his mother had survived the Twin Demons disaster seventy years ago and had protected him until he was a teenager.

Because his mother was chosen as a 'portrait' by the twin demons.

She was a noblewoman at the time. After her family fell into the territory ruled by the Twin Demons, she was also captured by them and became a female slave under their control.

Kru's mother had told him all of this.

She soon became pregnant, and was then secretly sent by the Twin Demons to another area of ​​the Azure Whale.

She had also considered secretly getting rid of Klu.

However, she eventually gave up.

Kru was also able to perceive those struggles, hatred, and love during this process.

Chapter 368 Combat Alchemy

"There's really no other way then, since I still have some use for your mother's body."

"Maybe after this battle, there will be some limbs and scraps left. I'll make sure to leave some for you." The twin demons made a casual remark, their words revealing their complete indifference towards Kru.

From the day he became a high-ranking demon, he set his sights on the Azure Whale.

Having plotted for nearly two hundred years, during which time he had even become a demon lord, it was time to reap the rewards of his schemes.

He will swallow the entire Azure Whale whole, as for Kru...

It was just a backup plan that never got used.

The purpose of getting his mother pregnant was simply to keep her body under the influence of the Gemini Demons, making it easier for the other's body to become the vessel for the child.

This situation actually became irrelevant after Kru was born, because by then the woman's sense of self had been gradually restricted.

The twin demons never cared about this child.

He has many similar offspring in both the Abyss and the material plane.

Although it is difficult for those of superior bloodlines to conceive offspring, he has been sowing seeds continuously.

These offspring...

The aura of the curse flashed by, but it had no effect whatsoever.

The twin demons glanced at Kru with a smile, and then the malice in their eyes materialized.

He reached out and grabbed his face with both hands.

"This beauty mark is your memory point, right?" he said, while unhesitatingly digging out a piece of flesh from his face and throwing it into the soil in front of him.

Kru closed his eyes as he looked at the twin demons with a bloody hole in their faces.

Just as the Twin Demons were about to say something, Guilliman appeared in front of them, his longsword flashing out swiftly.

Sword of Fortune, Sword of Order!

All the forces, arranged in order, the blades like a natural battleground.

Although the sword was aimed at the twin demons, it actually struck them instead.

With just one sword strike, it seemed as if it carried the power of the entire city.

"They really are... not to be underestimated!" Countless streams of light flashed in front of the twin demons, and then a force was formed, blocking Guilliman's sword.

“You’ve grown quite a bit over the past seventy years,” Gemini praised.

Seventy years ago, Guilliman's score was only three hundred, but now it has grown to around five hundred, which is a truly rapid increase.

Besides that, there was Guilliman's swordsmanship.

"So this is the Sword of Fortune? It seems the leader my son has allied himself with is quite capable; this swordsmanship has actually allowed you to approach the threshold of Sword Saint."

The power surrounding the twin demons was constantly shifting, and various dazzling lights were flashing.

"Battle alchemy?" Guilliman naturally recognized the power the Twin Demons were currently using.

In the environment of the Abyss, it is difficult for the Twin Demons to find a suitable vessel, and in order to increase the margin for error, he had to let his two innate bodies cultivate the life aspect on one side and the spirit aspect on the other.

While this ensured the growth of the twin demons, it also significantly reduced the range of options available to him when choosing a third 'avatar'.

So he chose Kru's mother, a woman of divine blood, who, although a spellcaster, was an alchemist whose primary purpose was to connect the astral plane, the etheric plane, and other multiverses.

Guilliman's gaze sharpened, and then he immediately increased the speed of his sword, slashing towards the twin demons.

Alchemy requires a long period of preparation and coordination, and even combat-oriented alchemy has a serious deficiency in adaptability.

Basically, as long as you use fast-paced, multi-faceted combat to keep the alchemist from reacting, you'll win the battle in nine out of ten cases.

Guilliman could also sense that the Twin Demons' body was not strong enough, and its stats might even be lower than his own.

It's highly likely that the value is only around 200, and it might only become a golden variety within the next ten years or so.

As the masterminds behind the scenes, they could only feel at ease letting others deal with the warden's problem after cutting him off.

The Sword of Order in his hand was swiftly swung out, its offensive power growing stronger and stronger, and its attributes were constantly changing.

Just a moment ago, the focus was still on the divine attribute.

The next moment, the blade in Guilliman's hand had already changed to another attribute.

Regardless of the type, their foundation is the Sword of Fortune, imbued with the Order Power unique to Guilliman.

The protective barrier that had been forming in front of the twin demons gradually weakened, and finally, when Guilliman converted his power attribute into wind attribute, the shield shattered.

Because the material plane is now closer to the earth elemental plane, according to the alchemical principle of "the lower is above the higher."

This shield is primarily composed of earth elements, which in turn counter water, balance fire, and are weak against wind.

At this moment, the positions of the astral plane and the etheric plane have not changed much.

The power that can be formed through communication, if the structure is to be changed, then more processes are needed to transform it.

This is the alchemist's impasse.

By harnessing the power of celestial phenomena, the external environment, and various distant planes and realms, they are able to unleash power at an extremely high multiplier.

The Twin Demons, with a current value of only 200, managed to block four or five sword strikes from Guilliman, who possessed a value of 500 and used swordsmanship comparable to a Sword Saint, with just one layer of shield.

However, if their dimensional position does not change, the types of forces and methods they can use will be very limited in the short term.

In this situation, one becomes very rigid when facing opponents of the same or even higher level in real-time combat.

Sure enough, Guilliman's next sword strike was imbued with the power of wind, and new streams of light flashed around the Twin Demons' bodies.

This layer of shields transformed into a water-based system, successfully suppressing the wind.

Even so, the entire shield still shook rapidly.
