Mozu

**Mozu** (魔族) or **Demons** are the main inhabitants of the Demon Realm.

## Types

*See also: Category:Mozu*
The common types are the grim reaper, succubus, centaur, lich, and imp.

* Grim Reaper (镰刀恶魔) / Great Demon (大恶魔)
* Centaur (角魔)
* Lich (役魔)
* Succubus (魅魔)
* Imp (小劣魔)
* Dark Elf (暗精灵) and Dark Gnome (黑暗地精) belonged to the vassal race but they were also indispensable in the demon family.

Due to the special power of the two moons in the Demon Realm, there were no such thing as mixed-blood. Even with a combination of two different races, the baby would either be from the race of the father or the mother randomly.

Besides these, there were many powerful creatures in the Demon Realm, such as the elemental race, the evil eye (邪眼), the fallen dragons that were expelled from the ground (被地面驱逐的堕落龙族), and many demonic beasts (魔兽 *moshou*), making the place full of danger.

Chen Rui heard that Demon Realm had powerful races like the fallen dragon, evil eye tyrant (邪眼暴君), and elemental lords (元素君王). He also heard of famous demonic beasts such as wyvern (双足飞龙) and nightmare beast (梦魇兽). However, no one ever mentioned the word "slime" in front of him. The reason was simple. They were too weak; they were weak enough to be ignored.

## Ranks

*See also: Category:Mozu rank*
According to Athena, the power ranking of the demons in ascending order is:

1. Low-rank Demon (低阶恶魔);
2. Mid-rank demon (中阶恶魔);
3. High-rank Demon (高阶恶魔);
4. Demon King (魔王);
5. Great Demon King (大魔王);
6. Demon Emperor (魔皇);
7. Demon Overlord (魔帝);
8. Demon Supremo (魔尊).

Each rank was equivalent to a watershed. Not only was there a huge difference in power, but also a certain rank suppression. For example, a middle-rank demon facing a high-rank demon could hardly fight at full potential.

Although there wasn't rank suppression among the same rank, there were still differences in power. For example, a veteran high-rank demon who had reached the peak could at least defeat 10 high-level demons who had just ranked up.

Not every demon can train their way to the top. For example, the upper limit of the grim reaper was the high-rank demon and the imp was forever in the low-rank unless there was a rare mutation.

Compared to humans, the initial power of the demons were much stronger but their rooms of improvement were small. Regardless of the talents of human beings, the starting points at birth were almost the same. Yet, the demons were different. The difference in ranks was obvious at birth. Even after reaching adulthood, they would most likely reach an upper limit, and it was hard to advance their rank.

In other words, the starting point of the demons was higher than humans and their life span was longer too. Yet, their plasticity was much lower than humans. The higher the rank of the demons, the more room of improvements they got.

Although the lifespan of demons was longer than that of humans, especially powerhouses, they would eventually age and die.

## Tiers

Demon Realm's strength arranged from highest to lowest were Demon Supremo, Demon Overlord, Demon Emperor, Great Demon King, Demon King, Higher Demon, Intermediate Demon, and Lesser Demon. However, there was another division, that was, the high, middle, and low tiers.

* Lesser Demon, Intermediate Demon, Higher Demon were the lowest tier;
* Demon King and Great Demon King belong to the middle tier;
* Demon Emperor and Demon Overlord belonged to the highest tier.

As for Demon Supremo, it was already equivalent to Demigod, so it wasn't included.

As long as the upper limit of potential was sufficient, it wasn't too difficult to pass through the low-tier through training. For example, Great Demons can generally train up to Higher Demon. However, even if the royal family had no upper limit, they might not be able to reach the middle-tier Demon King or Great Demon King through training. To reach the middle-tier, one must realize certain "rules" of strength while Demon Emperor and Demon Overlord required the higher-level of realization.

Not just the Demon Realm but the three tiers of the humans above-ground, namely the "Warrior", "Master" and "Saint" were also similar. The gap between each tier was greater than the gap within the tier.

Beware that the Demon King and Great Demon King-level powerhouses of the middle-tier comprehend the rules of power. Therefore, most of them have special energy attack skills. Skills like your <Aurora Shot> shouldn't be uncommon, so you must be careful. As for the high-tier's realm... what Broc mastered was just a pseudo Incubus Territory that combines with his bloodline talent. The true Incubus Territory that a Demon Overlord casts is by no means what you can imagine now. Thus, you must act accordingly in the future as you might not be as lucky every time.

 Middle

## Humans and Demons

Quoting:

"The term "demon" is not appropriate right?" Chen Rui continued, "In the human classics, the demon is described as a gruesome, barren and remote world inhabited by a group of ferocious, cunning, cannibal demons. In fact, everyone knows that demons have their own civilization and traditions. Compared with humans, they are just different in appearance. As for cannibalism... It is undeniable that some demons do have blood-eating habits, but most of them do not. If you want to compare, human's cruel methods to the same kind are more cruel and cunning. It is bloodless cannibalism that hardly even leaves any bones behind. I believe Sir Nero knows this kind of example better than I do."
