Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil-Novel

Chapter 1511 Demonic Genesis: Hvergelmir Springs

Aleph maintained a focused gaze on Eren as he continued his counsel.

"Considering the unfolding events, I have little doubt that you will eventually find yourself in the World of Gods, Eren. It's an exceedingly unforgiving realm. To stand any chance among the formidable entities that inhabit it, you must wield my powers through the Edicts and make them your own. New chapters are published on ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

I want you to begin preparing for these eventualities now, understanding which opportunities to seize once you depart from Anfang. This foresight will prove invaluable in the challenges that lie ahead," Aleph cautioned Eren with a tone of utmost seriousness.

Eren nodded, signaling his readiness to heed Aleph's counsel. He then delved into his next inquiry.

"God Aleph, how should I effectively wield my Sin Series Marks? Now that I possess all seven of them, do you have any guidance regarding their use?"

Eren sought the wisdom of the god who had conceived the concept of the Sin Series Marks himself. Having acquired all seven of them, he was eager to grasp Aleph's perspective on harnessing the formidable power of his demonic heritage, bestowed by the Elder Ichor bloodline. After all, the Sin Series Abilities had proven to be Eren's most dependable assets thus far. He aimed to further empower them with Aleph's insights.

Aleph observed Eren intently, taking a moment to reflect before posing a counter-question.

"Eren, before we delve into the Seven Series Marks, allow me to ask: do you know what demons truly are?"

Eren shook his head in response. "No," he admitted. "I'm aware that they originate from the Demonic Realm, which is a collective term for all the Seven Planes of Sins. but that's just it."

Acknowledging Eren's response, Aleph proceeded to shed light on the nature of demons.

"Eren, demons come into existence when the surplus of negative emotions exuding from living beings coalesces into sentient forms as they flow into what, in many realms, is referred to as the Hvergelmir Springs. These negative emotions are like sediments. Their coagulation is similar to eggs that nurture the nascent demonic consciousness within them as they traverse through the Hvergelmir Springs.

These "eggs" are ultimately hatched by the pure infernal energy that surrounds them, akin to the springs' water. Upon hatching, they manifest as serpent-like hatchlings.

To advance their existence as demonic entities, these hatchlings instinctively seek vessels.

Eventually, these demonic hatchlings slither their way out of the Hvergelmir Springs and barge into the realm of the living beings. What is commonly recognized as demonic possession is essentially living beings reencountering the negative emotions they had previously expelled, only for them to return through this process.

Demons will continue to exist as long as living beings do, which is why they are often categorized as immortals. These demons lack conventional parentage, instead, the diverse array of living beings scattered across the boundless cosmos serves as their surrogate parents.

The demons feed upon the emotions of these living beings, much akin to offspring seeking sustenance from their parents.

This is why the demons are so proficient in using intent-based magic. They are born because of the infernal intent of the living beings. So it's only natural for them to wield what's known to them since their birth," Aleph explained patiently for Eren's understanding.

Eren found himself immersed in a continuous stream of enlightenment as he engaged in conversation with the progenitor of his bloodline. Aleph was a veritable treasure trove of knowledge and information, a resource Eren had long sought but never truly encountered. Every moment spent in dialogue with Aleph felt invaluable.

With curiosity dancing in his voice, Eren swiftly posed his next question to the god, "God Aleph, what exactly are the Hvergelmir Springs?"

Eren was acutely aware of the crazy strong enemy awaiting him beyond the boundaries of Anfang, the Demon Prince of Wrath. The notion of immortality for demons through the Hvergelmir Springs perturbed him deeply. To effectively confront these demon beings, he recognized the need to delve into the very roots of their origin.

Aleph responded promptly to Eren's inquiry, elucidating the nature of the Hvergelmir Springs.

"Eren, the Hvergelmir Springs represent an Existential Concept established by Creation itself to sustain life throughout the boundless cosmos. It flows through all the worlds within this cosmic expanse beneath the surface-level existence, intertwining with every living being, be they mortal or formidable beings of their respective realms."

He continued, delving into the intricacies of wisdom and emotion.

"Wisdom and knowledge, as they say, are a dual-edged sword. The greater one's wisdom, the more profound their contemplations become. In turn, deep contemplation births a spectrum of emotions. Were it not for the Existential Concept of the Hvergelmir Springs, the influx of negative emotions within living beings would overwhelm them."

Understanding the profound connection between demons and living beings, Aleph offered insight into the seemingly unbreakable ties.

"The existence of demons is intricately linked to the beings within the boundless cosmos. Therefore, severing the connection between demons and living beings is a futile endeavor. The demons' infiltration of Anfang, despite the isolation imposed by the World-Encompassing Array, stands as a testament to this fact."

Eren observed as Aleph gracefully moved around the spectral figure he referred to as "Mother," his voice unwavering.

"This is precisely why demons were a formidable menace across the myriad worlds within the boundless cosmos, fueled by their latent infernal potential. Before the creation of the Seven Planes of Sins, demons were exposed to a myriad of negative emotions experienced by living beings. Upon entering the world of the living, they would rapidly escalate in power, often plunging the infiltrated realm into chaos and madness."

With a somber tone, Aleph narrated his role in mitigating this threat. "It was then that I was entrusted with a task—to alter the very nature of the Existential Concept laid down by Creation. Eradicating the Concept was an insurmountable feat, but I possessed the power to reshape it, diminishing the influence of demons over the realm of the living.

To achieve this, I lived countless incarnations, cultivating emotions without ever releasing them. These cultivated emotions became the cornerstone for establishing the Seven Planes of Sins. unfortunately, I forfeited all of my own emotions in the audacious act of interfering with the primordial laws enshrined by Creation itself."
