Volume 10, Chapter 39, Feeding the Devil's Family
“'They' are...hellworms."
Northfield's wife said this name.
"Hellworm?"
"Yes." Father Normanda revealed the truth in front of Northfield: "What the people of the church wanted from a long time ago is the 'hell bug' that your family has."
"The Hellworm is indeed completely owned by our Northfield family, and it is our strongest weapon against demons. How could it be..."
"The hellworm's mother is kept in your family, right?"
"Yes."
"Then do you know, how did the hellworm come from?"
"This... all the people in the family..."
"Do you know? Actually..."
"The hell bug is the root of your family."
More than two centuries ago.
A family gave birth to a child.
He was a very intelligent child who had a talent that ordinary people could not meet. He was handsome, intelligent and capable. He started to take charge of the family business at the age of sixteen.
However, the boy was troubled by a nightmare since he was a child. In his dream, he was chased by countless evil spirits, and in the end he was always dragged into hell by those evil spirits.
And when he is dragged into hell, he always feels great horror.
But... then, when he saw the scene of hell inside, he would feel a huge sense of excitement. The killing inside, "qiangjian", the demon... countless scenes on the dark side of him inspired the darkness in his heart.
At the age of twenty, he obeyed his parents' wishes and believed in Catholicism, thus entering the church, receiving baptism, and becoming a Catholic.
However, when he was baptized, he always felt great pain in his heart for no reason. However, he still had a pious heart. He hoped that he could earn peace in his heart by believing in God.
But, he thought it too simple.
No matter how many times he read the Bible, no matter how he prayed, there were more and more nightmares, and more and more pain in his heart.
Finally... he began to discover that all the pains came from the dark side of his heart.
Jealousy, arrogance, greed... Every time he wakes up from a nightmare, he finds that his inner desires are getting stronger and stronger. In the end, he accumulates more and more desires, but because of his beliefs, he has to restrain everything.
One night, he finally could no longer suppress the dark side desires in his heart.
"What I did...What I did..."
He killed a career competitor and stabbed him in the chest with a sharp knife.
After killing him, he rushed to the riverside. Suddenly, he felt a strong sense of nausea and then began to vomit. Finally, he found that he had actually started vomiting a strange black worm.
At this moment, he suddenly realized.
These insects are the dark side of his heart.
He... is born to be favored by demons. And these insects are called "hellworms".
Later, he discovered that he had incredible power, which is the so-called "black magic". He then used the black magic to make a box and put those hell bugs in the box. It was a hell bug and he, when he committed a greater sin, would vomit out more bugs. Those bugs would curse the people he hated, and anyone who he hoped to die would die easily. Because of this, he had increasingly greater power and money.
This man, named Dielsa Northfield, was the ancestor of the Northfield family who established their current status.
And throughout his life, with his continuous evil deeds, more and more hellworms were produced.
After possessing the power of the black magic, Dielsa also gained the ability to communicate with the demon. He finally knew that he was favored by the demon. Although he didn't know why, he was born because of the demon, and his soul was destined to belong to the demon.
However, the so-called demons are actually very different from human religions.
Humans always use human-like images to describe demons, and often describe demons as things that are very similar to humans. Demons always have wisdom, and seem to have little difference from humans except for having a pair of black wings and unimaginable power.
But...this is not the case.
"Demon" is not something that exists exactly. Simply put, demons exist based on the will of human beings. It is precisely because of people who have evil thoughts that demons exist. Those who have "evil" in their hearts will come into contact with demons. To put it more directly... Only those who believe in demons will exist. On the contrary, there will be no demons.
Dielsa realized that his soul belonged to hell.
It is precisely because of his soul that originated from hell that his evil thoughts produce hell bugs.
And he also knew that he wanted to use his hands to create a real "demon" with his own hands. Human evil thoughts and negative psychology have brought the existence of the demon. However, just this is the case, the demon cannot be born in this world. Therefore, the "hellworm" was born.
Dielsa has been raising a real "demon" with his soul. He also wants his descendants to continue feeding this "demon" until it truly "maturity".
And this "demon" is still in childhood.
To cultivate it into mature, we must continue to invest in more human desires and darkness.
And the hellworm is the way to allow this demon to obtain "nutrition".
Finally, Dielsa realized the source of the hellworm in his soul.
Before his death, his children discovered that their father had disappeared one day.
And in my father's room, only the box and the will left by my father were left behind.
No one knows where Dielsa went. However, the hellworm in the box is still accumulating. And if the sons listen, they will still hear... the sound of vomiting comes from the box.
After my father died... he was still inside, spitting out more hell bugs.
The hellworm continued to accumulate, and the curse continued with Northfield's bloodline.
This so-called family of gods is usually between the ages of 25 and 30. The "nature" will awaken. The will of the devil in the bloodline will change and realize the fact that they are favored by the demons. Then, they will secretly use black magic to commit a large number of sins. Use their bloodline to continuously expand this sin. In the end, this sin will become the nourishment for the "hell worm".
The so-called "hell insect mother" is the "evil thoughts" in the soul of the dead Dielsa! That "evil thoughts" rely on the hell insect to possess the entity and continue to grow under the influence of the sins of the bloodline. In this world, there are enough humans full of evil thoughts, and the Northfield family does not need to spend much effort to guide enough sin. Whenever the sin accumulates to a certain extent, accompanied by the will of the people in the Northfield family, the hell insect will begin to evolve continuously. The evolved hell insect will transfer the obtained darkness to the "mother body".
This relationship is actually a bit similar to the Zerg in "Starcraft".
Finally, it was the sixteenth century more than two centuries later.
The "evil" that Dielsa has began to nurture power. After that, in order to further nurture power, the "worm mother" needs a real "entity".
Therefore, Nitlair was selected by the Northfield family.
All of his family died of the Black Death. In the end, he died in despair in his family in Strasbourg, his ancestral home, because he was infected with the Black Death.
After his death, he became the mother of hell and was able to have "entity" and the real medium in this world.
No matter how powerful the hell worm is, the so-called "worm mother" is a thing that grows up only by evil thoughts. After all, it is a pure nothingness. If there is no entity, it is meaningless at all. The Northfield family is just a slave to raise "devils" and is not qualified to be the host of the demons.
Yes, "host". Just like Li Minhe, she can become a high-ranking demon host, but not the Northfield family.
For "demons", if there is no human being as a host, no matter how powerful it is, it is meaningless. The reason why Li Minhe became so powerful after becoming a high-level demon host is also the same. The high-level demon with a host and the high-level demon without a host are simply incomparable. Once he has a host, the demon will have "will" and "self". For the Northfield family, finding a suitable "host" for this "demon" they have been raised for two centuries is their greatest mission.
The people of the church have always hoped to seize the mother of hell from them. However, history has proved that they cannot do it. Just like today, even the US government cannot do anything to them.
It is meaningless to be burned to death by the Holy See's people at the stake, because his bloodline has been spread out. This bloodline is completely protected by the Northfield family and concentrated in Strasbourg. No matter how hard humans try, they cannot kill all these bloodlines. Even if they are killed, their souls will continue to survive, just like Grandil.
They just continue to be "feeded" by the Northfield family in the form of "entities".
Until... on the day of prophecy, the Northfield family will "harvest" the most complete "devil" raised in centuries.
"Nitleir" is actually no longer suitable for calling this demon.
Now, after waking up with blood, Damimo inherited Nitlair's soul and became a new demon, thus becoming a mature demon.
The job of raising demons has finally come to an end.
No one can stop it, and no one can stop it.
The real "devil" will be "resurrected".
That's the whole truth.
But how can all this be carried out according to the prediction?
At this moment, Ye Xiang, holding the box, stood outside the dark castle.
This box cannot be damaged or discarded. The one inside is raised to today's hell insect mother. It originated from the original "evil"... As long as it merges with the nine cursed objects and Damimo, it can become the most terrifying "devil king".
The Nitlair family is just the nourishment Northfield feeds to the demons!
