Inside his body, the demonic energy of three Demon Kings was still waiting. He had held it back while he devoured their corpses, keeping it separate from his own and leaving it untouched.
Now, it was time to make it his.
He began with the coral-jawed Daemon's.
It was the smallest of the three, and its nature was heavy and cold, like seawater at the bottom of the ocean. Traces of the Daemon's Will still clung to it, and it was stubborn and foreign.
Simon drew a thin stream of it toward his heart.

Then he guided that Chaos into his Forged Heart.
