“Isn’t it the Continent of Demons? Why are there humans here?”
Amaya questioned with a curious look on her face.
“Humans are everywhere. You people bread like animals, after all.
Usually, buying human slaves is very beneficial since in just a few centuries, you people grow in numbers, providing more slaves.”
“So those guards were slaves?” Amaya questioned as she raised her eyebrows.
“Hmm? They might be, or they might be children of the slaves, or they might just be humans who shifted to the Demon Continent.”
“Humans shifted to the Demon Continent?”
“Mhm, the Unified Continent, where the 3 Main Human Empires are, it is not exactly heaven for humans either. Only the strong are respected, and this is even true for humans, who would even kill their own kind if it benefits them.
Weak humans are not scared of other races, they are more scared of Humans.
That’s why many prefer to leave the Unified Continent and move to other continents.”
Aisha explained and Amaya nodded in understanding.
The others were still looking around, since they have been traveling for a while, their eyes were adapted to the Plants, Roads, and building design, right now, what made attracted their attention was the Demons living inside this State.
Purple-blue Skin, pointy ears, a single horn on the forehead, white colored hair, and bluish eyes, just like the Sex demons, these demons had Human-like features as well, however, what attracted Nux’s attention the most was,
“Uhhh, why are most of the Demons here females?”
Nux questioned.
“Ohh? Are you getting excited?” Aisha questioned with a playful smile on her face.
“Well, it is not weird, it is your first time seeing the Demons, they all look quite similar to humans as well, the different skin color and their seductive physique must have peeked your attention.
You are a man, after all, that reaction is natural.”
“Just answer the question, Aisha.”
Nux replied.
“Tsk.”
Aisha snorted and then, she explained,
“This State is ruled by the Female Counterpart.”
“Female Counterpart?”
Nux frowned.
“Remember when I said there were 42 Demon States, each having their own unique ability?”
“Yes.”
“Well, in truth, there are actually only 21 Unique Abilities. However, there are 42 States because both males and females have different States.
We Sex Demons, for example, the Female Counterpart, the succubus, our State is called the Lust State.
The Incubuses have their own State, with their own rules and rulers, their State is called Desire.
Just like that, this Misery State is also ruled by the Female Ruler, thus it has more Females than males.”
“So you are saying that there are 2 States for the Demons with one similar Ability.”
“Yes, that is correct.” Aisha nodded.
“Then the two States with the same ability must be allies, correct?”
“Hmm? You can say that, yes. The Rulers of the State are usually a couple and only mate with each other in order to keep the bloodline pure.
Of course, it is different for us Sex Demons, but even for us, only the child who carries the blood of both the leaders is considered a Prince or a Princess.”
“So you have the blood of 2 Divine Stage Cultivators running through your veins?”
“Indeed,” Aisha replied with a proud look on her face.
“I still don’t get it. Since both States have the same Ability and a relationship like this, then why the divide? Can’t you just keep 21 States?”
Nux questioned.
“Well, there are countless reasons, one of them is that even though the Ability we inherit is the same, as we grow, our Gender tweaks the ability a little, making it more and more optimal for ourselves, so although it is the same Ability, it is actually two different abilities.
Of course, this is not the main reason, the main reason is actually very simple,
Pride.
Who would rule the merged State if the States are ever merged?”
“Uhhh… anyone can… aren’t the leaders married to each other anyways, why would it matter?”
“That’s not it works.
We demons are different from you humans, no actually, even humans are not like this, you are just different. No one would just give the power to someone else just because ‘the two of them are married.’
Anyways, even if we merge the 2 States into 1, there will be fights for the position of the Leader.
No one would give in, and if 2 Divine Stage Cultivators fought… then… that battle would harm many lives in the process, so having 2 different States is a much better option.”
Aisha replied.
Nux glanced at his wives for a while, and then, he nodded.
He understood what she was trying to say.
He started looking around again, interested to learn more about this world.
Most of the Demons were either Emperors or Sages, even the children playing around here and there were Grand Master Stage Cultivators, there were some strong demons who were at Great Sage Stage as well, however, they were rare.
One thing was for sure, their group with more than 1000 people, most of which were humans and were King Stage Cultivators, they were definitely sticking out.
“Heeh? Is the Lust State buying more human Slaves?”
Suddenly, Nux heard a demon questioning.
“Tsk, those perverts, always buying in bulk.”
“You buy human Slaves?” Nux quickly turned towards Aisha and questioned.
“Hmm? Of course, everyone does. We need them more than others since most of the human slaves don’t last long.”
“…”
Nux didn’t say anything.
“Slavery is common here, huh.”
Astaria commented.
She didn’t like this fact either.
Of course, she had no right to say because her husband literally has an ability that can turn people into his Slave.
“This place is a lot different from your continent, Nux.
Weak has no right.
Slavery is extremely common as well.
Not only humans, but you would also even find Demons, Elves, Vampires and other slaves as well, you can find slaves of any race you wish for, well, except for the Dragons. They are a little too protective of their own people and are too prideful to turn into slaves. They usually commit suicide before that happens, and even if there are actually Dragon Slaves, the Dragons usually kill the Slave and the owner to keep that a secret.
Anyways, there are a lot of things you will learn soon, let’s just continue walking,
I feel like this journey would end very soon.”
