"Uh..." Luo Jun paused slightly. "You mean Angrimar's extra lives came from demon cores?"
"That's right." Gluttony Demon King nodded. "Angrimar may be strong, but he's still only a Demon King, not a true Demon god... Well, these newly risen Demon Kings often boast and call themselves Demon gods, but there's an essential difference in rank!"
"They're both Demon Kings, so why can you create an existence of the same rank as yourself? He could do it because he had the power of a higher rank. The true god's favor back then was actually six demon cores. These things are condensed Demon Race Life Energy, so naturally, each one was equivalent to an extra life. Over the long years that followed, Angrimar kept studying the principles behind demon cores and even used them for experiments. He discovered that implanting one in a Demon King-level being could only grant one extra life, but if implanted in an ordinary demon, the immense power contained within could forcibly elevate a Great Demon—or even an ordinary High-Level Demon—to a higher level of life, turning them into a powerful Demon King!"
"However, the process placed an enormous burden on the host. Fortunately, even if the experiment failed and the host collapsed, the demon core itself would not be damaged. Relying on this, Angrimar experimented again and again until he finally created Fraym... But although Fraym survived, he ended up mentally unstable and impossible to control, so Angrimar could only let him run rampant and destroy things everywhere."
"So that was the reason?" Luo Jun stroked his chin. "Then how many demon cores does Angrimar still have?"
"What we know for certain is that he used one when he was reborn, and one to create Fraym." Geldoni counted on his fingers. "He should have four left.
