The Devil's Betrothed novel Chapter 780

Chapter 780: The Lord Of The Darkness

At the mention of the Lord of Darkness, everyone turned silent and looked at the source of the voice—Drayce.

Arlan was surprised, as Drayce had always avoided talking about or looking into any information related to his biological father, but today, he finally asked about him. Though he showed that he hated Theron Ivanov, he would still rather consider him his father than his biological one.

Evanthe looked at Drayce as well. He had never asked her directly before—maybe he was considering her feelings.

The others sitting there—Draven, Oriana, and Morpheus—couldn’t wait to hear more.

Xyron looked at Drayce and said, "In the depths of the heaven realm, there’s said to be the four ancient beasts which are the pillars of the universe and protector of the heaven realm. The divine Dragon beast, divine Phoenix beast, divine Lion beast and divine Serpent with five heads.

"As I said before, the deity of Fire originated from the ashes of the Phoenix beast’s feather, the Lord of Darkness was said to be Originated from the fallen scale from the divine Dragon’s tale, the most powerful beast among the four ancient beasts. The massive scale was filled with the uncontrollable divine power of the Dragon beast which took a form another divine Dragon.

"That divine Dragon was later turned into the most powerful god in the Heaven realm, raised by the heavenly emperor himself. That Divine Dragon was supposed to be the next king of Heaven realm and said to rule all the three realms, but he had to sacrifice his powerful, perfectly acquired celestial body to absorb the absolute Darkness.

"That is how he became the Lord of Darkness. He was not born with Darkness, but the strongest divine power, capable enough to absorb the absolute darkness. He saved all the three realms from being swallowed by the absolute darkness from Hell, but had to leave everything behind he ever had and he was compelled to choose a life of seclusion.

"It wasn’t the only once when he saved these realms. When the deity of Fire sacrificed herself to the hellfire, the Lord of Darkness had also helped her. Only his power of absolute Darkness could control the hellfire from spreading further and made it easier for the Deity of Fire to absorb it.

"As everyone heard this in silence from Xyron, the Demon chuckled with mockery, "the more powerful you are, the more helpless one becomes in front of those deities and the rules of the heaven realm. Deity of Fire and the Lord of darkness were nothing but helpless, powerful beings."

"Was he not allowed to stay in heaven?" Drayce asked, somewhat feeling that his father was wronged.

"He was no longer a God the moment he became the Lord of Darkness. In the heaven realm, there is no place for darkness. "Or I should say they were just afraid of him being more powerful and needed a reason to isolate him so there won’t be anyone stronger that threatened the authority of the heaven realm," Xyron added. "They bound him with various oaths even before he absorbed that darkness, the oaths that he could not break."

"Wasn’t heavily Emperor the one to raise him? Did he not trust him?" Drayce asked.
