Chapter 587  Gathering the Strength to Challenge the Darkness: A Quest for True Magic

"So, you want me to go kill her then, right?" I asked plainly, and she nodded.

"Something like that, but the thing is that she is unbelievably strong, and her guards are just as bad. The generals like Toto are just her puppets and are strong, but nothing like the Aether Demons that she has personally chosen. You would need an army to take on such a task, and I don\'t have one."

Bellazibub\'s words filled my mind with dread. I had heard the rumors of Aether Demons, and it seemed that they were no exaggeration. If she wanted me to lead an army against the Black King, then this was going to be a daunting task. It would take strength, courage, and cunning, but I felt like we were getting ahead of ourselves here.

"Hold on. Why do you think that I am going to have to fight the guards? I don\'t even know what the Black King wants yet, but if she does want something, then why would my path be blocked?" I asked, and Bellazibub smiled again.

"You think that the guards are just going to let you through? I can already tell you that not all of them agree with you meeting the Black King. Most of them like the way that things are and assume that you will come and change them. This is especially true when we are meeting like this. They will automatically think that you are coming to end things. This is the Black King\'s fault. She did this by brainwashing these powerful Demons, and now they enjoy life, and the Black King does not control the Aether Demons. They just agreed with what she was doing at the start. There are many moving parts to this problem."

I took in everything and started to hum as I thumbed my chin.

"So, what can we do here? How can I get in there if the guards are powerful Aether Demons?" I asked, and Bellazibub sighed.

"You will need a way to bypass them, and that means you will have to find someone who knows how to control an Aether Demon. I don\'t know much about these creatures, but I think it is possible." She said, then looked at me with a thoughtful expression. "Sometimes, wishes are granted to those who can prove themselves. You may be able to call upon them if you can prove your worth."

This was all very interesting, but all worrisome as well. This mission was definitely going to be more difficult than expected, but I was determined to succeed.

"Lexi, do you think that you could track down any information on controlling or influencing an Aether Demon?" I asked as Bellazibub nodded approvingly.

"I\'m sure I could find something, but I will need somewhere that I can get information about them," Lexi said, and I smiled.

"I know where you can start," Bellazibub said and then pointed to a book on her desk. "This is the Book of Adalphas; it\'s an ancient tome that contains information about the most powerful Demons in existence."

"What else? There must be more than just telling me about this and asking me to do something about it. What am I missing here? Just what are they using to brainwash the Demons?" I asked and leaned back in my chair as Lexi started to look over the book. "From what I have learned, fun is the problem right now, but then I heard that the Black King is turning the layers into movie sets. What is that all about?"

"Ah, yes. It\'s another part of her plan to control the population by making them watch movies that have messages in them," Bellazibub said with a grim look on her face. "The more they watch, the more brainwashed they become. I know people who have been affected by it and are just puppets now." She shook her head in disgust and sighed heavily. "It\'s horrible. We need to do something about this before it becomes too late."

I nodded my head in agreement and looked over at Lexi, who had finished looking through the book.

"Everything looks good so far, but I think we should get some help with this, someone who really understands all of this craziness. I think we should talk to one of the Aether Demons and see if they can help us out," Lexi suggested, but Bellazibub laughed and shook her head.

"Good luck with that. They are much older than normal Demons and come from a place where space and time mean nothing to them. Unless they want to be found by you, and they won\'t unless it is to kill you, you will not be able to find one. They can see all futures, and know why you are coming, and know that they don\'t belong here, so they will fight tooth and nail to stay," she explained, and I nodded, thinking about Truth.

\'These creatures are nothing but over-evolved parasites and can\'t even use True Magic,\' Truth\'s voice suddenly echoed in my mind. \'Though, neither can you right now, so you had better do something about that. The fact that you still have no access to your true potential yet after our talk is a bit disappointing. Don\'t become dumber than you already are. Move forward.\'

The 4th-dimensional beings\' words were always without care of how they sounded, but Truth was right. I had done nothing so far to even try to use True Magic or get that power back.
