The cold snort sounded like thunder.
“Is it thundering?!”
Mike, with his high Lightning Affinity, felt the thunderous roar outside the abyss even before hearing it! This thunder… seemed emotional, almost unhappy?
Outside the abyss, Ares suddenly appeared and said something cryptic that only a few present could understand. “Your third bro is angry.”
Thunder rumbled continuously. Feeling the thunder, the entrance to the Supreme Abyssal continued to expand! It seemed the Supreme Demon God was truly awakening. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Outside the First Abyss, Ares spoke again. “Anyone below level 1000 can leave now.”
The second demon god was the first to flee! Of course, he politely nodded to Ares before making a swift exit! Staying any longer, he feared for his life!
Earlier, Maxen had taken advantage of the second demon god’s absence to lead a blatant raid on his home.
As he fled, the second demon god felt a sense of relief. “Good thing I brought all my wealth with me…”
During the card game, the second demon god had used the excuse of fetching money to gather his valuables, ready to move into the First Abyss at any moment! He even brought the Demon Emperor’s Hall with him!
The second demon god was confident that once his big bro died, he could hold a new Archdemon coronation in the First Abyss!
Unfortunately, reality was harsh. The Archdemon wasn’t killed.
So, his assets had another use: buying his survival! Whether it was buying the Archdemon’s life or his own, it didn’t matter.
Now, it seemed more likely to be the latter. Even so, the second demon god felt quite good. Not just a little good, but very good!
After this battle, the Archdemon was half-crippled, and the fifth demon god had long been incapacitated. Among the demon gods, the second demon god was now the strongest!
Humanity’s plan was clearly to seal the Supreme Abyssal. Once sealed, the Supreme Agreement would come back into effect!
After that, without Calderon Sunsworn and Shadow Nine, humanity would be at a disadvantage in Ultimate Lord-level battles!
From a broader perspective, humanity had sacrificed two of their strongest Ultimate Lords. In return, they had severely injured the Archdemon and delayed the Supreme Abyssal’s opening by ten years, postponing Apollo’s battle with the Supreme Demon God!
This trade was undoubtedly beneficial for humanity. However, for a long time, especially until Thor reached Ultimate Lord, humanity would face tough times!
Supreme Beings couldn’t casually attack demon gods, and ordinary human lords weren’t a match for demon gods. The demon race finally had something to look forward to!
Moreover, the loss of top Ultimate Lord combat power would have a chain reaction!
Calderon’s presence or absence makes a world of difference to the overall combat strength of the human corps.
It’s important to note that among Calderon’s registered students, there are Ultimate Lords! Calderon’s departure will slow the rate at which humanity produces strong fighters in the future. However, Calderon has been faking his death for years. This impact has already been felt and successfully absorbed by humanity. This time, Calderon’s entry into the Supreme Abyssal won’t have a significant impact.
Shadow Nine’s departure, on the other hand, is a real problem!
Without Shadow Nine’s suppression, not to mention whether the Shadow Fortress will fall into chaos or the individual ambitions of the top 100 in the Guardian Shadow, just Shadow One, Shadow Two, and Shadow Three alone are not easy to handle!
Without Shadow Nine to keep them in check, the Guardian Shadow will likely descend into chaos on its own!
The second demon god was eagerly anticipating this. Earlier, when the top three of the Guardian Shadow released their auras, attempting to break through to Ultimate Lord, the second demon god noticed several things.
Shadow One’s aura was peculiar, seemingly connected to the Tower of Truth.
Shadow Two had two entirely different souls within her (or him), indicating she (or he) was definitely from the demon race! It’s unclear where Shadow Nine found these two and why he placed them in the Guardian Shadow.
The Second Demon God couldn’t see through Shadow Three.
Even more terrifying, Shadow Three gave the second demon god the strongest sense of threat!
The opponent even had the ability to pose a life-threatening danger to the second demon god!
It was certain: Shadow Three was the strongest among the top five of the Guardian Shadows! The Second Demon God even felt that Shadow Three had no real interest in breaking through to become the Ultimate Lord. He was just pretending, feigning interest to appease everyone. Although the Second Demon God couldn’t fully grasp Shadow Three’s true nature, he did notice something. Shadow Three was draped in white bones, which jingled like wind chimes as he moved, producing a pleasant sound. If the Second Demon God wasn’t mistaken… Those bones all came from demon gods!
The Second Demon God made up his mind: no matter who he offended, he must never offend Shadow Three!
After the Second Demon God fled, the Fifth Demon God stubbornly refused to leave.
“I’m not leaving today, kill me if you can!”
The Fifth Demon God sat on the ground, determined to live and die with the First Abyss! He even blocked the passage to the Supreme Abyssal, trying to stick his head in. Even if the humans wouldn’t kill him, the Supreme Demon God would be more than happy to have his
left brain back!
From the Fifth Demon God’s perspective, that’s what he was doing.
However, from others’ perspectives: the Fifth Demon God was cursing and striding out of the First Abyss. As he walked, he muttered, “Supreme Demon God, come eat my shit!”
“Eat shit to boost intelligence!”
Everyone fell silent for a moment, not knowing what kind of madness had overtaken the Fifth
Demon God. Only Mike gasped, feeling a chill run down his spine.
“[Illusory Reality]… Ares really understood it and really executed it!”
“That move was so cool, I need to mark it down and learn it.”
The Fifth Demon God, who had walked out of the First Abyss, suddenly stopped and looked around in confusion. Realizing what had happened, he let out a cry filled with sobs.
Tears couldn’t be held back!
The most terrifying part was… the Fifth Demon God had no idea whether he was still under
the influence of [Illusory Reality] at that moment!
The Fifth Demon God wailed, “I want to die… why is it so hard!”
…
Everything was over, and Mike and the others left the First Abyss one after another.
After everyone had retreated, Ares walked into the First Abyss.
Behind Ares, more than ten sword servants appeared, recording his every word and action.
Ares didn’t draw his sword.
Yet, countless sword lights appeared out of thin air in the sky!
The sword lights crisscrossed, instantly forming thousands of sword formations.
The sword formations overlapped, sealing the entrance to the Supreme Abyssal once again.
Facing the Supreme Abyssal’s attempt to expand and take root in the First Abyss, Ares had
only two words in response:
“Fuck off!”
