Unrivaled Demon's Odyssey

"There is a continent in sight."

Nero activated hai god's eyes and scanned the area.

"You are right. We reached sooner than I thought."

It was wee-hours, and the sun was about to rise.

Sophia appeared from the darkness of the room and walked past Nero and Emilia.

"Sophi?"

Sophia puffed her cheeks and glared at Nero and Emilia with an annoyed and frustrated look on her face: "Hmph!"

"...."

Emilia knitted her brows at Nero and whispered, "Did I disturb you two?"

"No." Nero patted Emilia and uttered, "Actually, I am glad you knocked on the door."

Nero walked to Asteria while glancing at Sophia.

'She was aware of everything. Yet, she still wanted me to kiss her even though she knew that she might die if she became a fallen angel.'

Sophia raised her hand and conjured the map.

"Didn't you and Lady Emilia rip the map?" Asteria asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"She can conjure as many as she wants," Nero replied with a grin.

Sophia averted her gaze and pointed her finger at the map: "Since we changed our route, we reached the northern continents."

"This continent is merged with three more continents, making it the biggest continent of this world."

Nero jumped to the sky and landed on the ship after a few seconds.

"I see no guards on the harbor points, and I don't think that's normal," Nero informed.

"Will it be a problem if someone saw us?" Asteria asked.

"Not really. But in some kingdoms, they ask for tax and stuff." Nero scoffed and shook his head, saying, "I don't mind paying taxes, but there are some things that I do mind."

Nero pondered for a while and uttered, "Let's just destroy this ship."

"Why?!" Emilia exclaimed.

"As Sophi said, this continent is merged with three more continents, making it the biggest continent of this world. And we have to travel town by town, especially to the guildhalls to ask for information regarding strong people."

"Why strong people?" Asteria questioned.

"Strong people have connections, and even if they don't, I can get some confidential information from them."

"But we are here to find your friends and weapons, right?" Emilia quipped.

"Yes. Although I know most of them are dead by now, but there are some who were immortals. And they were as strong as me— at least, before I was sealed."

"But why would your friends know about your weapon?" Asteria asked with a curious yet calm look on her face.

"I gave some of my weapons to my friends and asked them to take care of them."

"Well…" Nero sighed and scratched his cheeks before saying, "This is just a gamble. They might not be in this realm. And that's why, I want to at least get my cores to ascend to higher realms."

"Can't we go without your cores?" Emilia asked curiously.

"My cores are like a passport to pass the gates of the realms. And once I have all of my 14 cores back, I can break through the gates of heavens, too."

They parked the shit near the forest and destroyed it. 

Asteria was reluctant to destroy it, but Emilia and Sophia didn't hold back.

"There should be a town next to this forest," Sophia asserted.

Nero glanced at Sophia and grinned inwardly, 'Sulking Sophi is so cute!'

Nero carried Emilia in his arms and asked Sophia to carry Asteria to the nearest town.

The nearest town was three hours away if walked by foot and one hour traveled in a carriage. However, they reached the nearest town in about five minutes by flying.

Upon reaching the town, Nero noticed all the citizens were going in the same direction.

He couldn't have found it weird if it was daytime, but it was the middle of the night.

"You don't plan to follow them, do you?" Sophia asked with a judging tone.

"Why would I follow some—" Nero stopped on his words when he noticed that the townspeople were holding bowls in their hands.

"This town seems developed enough, so why do all the citizens look homeless?" he muttered.

Nero activated his god's eyes and glanced in the direction all the townspeople were going.

There was a gathering in the middle of the town.

"Interesting."

"You don't plan to follow them, do you?" Sophia asked again with a judging tone.

"No. But we do have to go that way to pass through this town, so we are going there anyway," Nero replied with a shrug.

They followed the townspeople, although they kept their distance from them.

After following them for a while, they reached the middle of the town and saw some higher-ranking soldiers were distributing food to the townspeople.

At first glance, the scene looked heartwarming because the soldiers were caring about the townspeople, but that was far from the truth.

"What's going on here?" Emilia asked with a confused look on her face.

"They are distributing food to the homeless people, aren't they?" Asteria replied with a question.

There were a total of ten soldiers, four were distributing food, and the rest six were guarding.

The food they were distributing was nothing but hot-melted rice.

One by one, they filled the bowls of the townspeople as the line decreased.

An elderly woman approached them with a bowl in her hand and said, "My husband is sick. Please give me some food."

The soldier filled the bowl and motioned her to get out of his sight.

The elderly woman turned around and started walking, but a guard stopped her.

"Wait!"

The elderly woman turned around as her body trembled.

"Why did you stop her? Let her go; she stinks!" one of the soldiers remarked.

"This old hag already came once. This was her second time," the guard informed.

"What?!" 

Two guards rushed to the elderly woman as she started running, but her old body couldn't run faster, and the guards caught her.

They kicked the bowl in her hand and some of the liquid spilled on her. She screamed in pain as the guards dragged her away.

"Next!" The soldier yelled.
