Chapter 184: The Demon Lord Appears, Unleashing a War of Gods on the Rodric Continent!
While Ian was settling the various races, distributing the Seven Sacred Relics, and preparing for the upcoming Eastern Expedition,
the Demon Race, naturally, regrouped after yet another defeat.
It was still the same hazy, empty world with only the blood moon hanging high.
It was still the same long table large enough to accommodate the Seven Demon Lords of varying sizes.
It was still the Seven Demon Lords arriving here through the interdimensional gate.
What was different was that this time, there were more voices in the empty world. Behind the chairs representing the thrones of the Seven Demon Lords on the long table, there were many smaller chairs.
Roughly estimated, there were about fifty in total, and these chairs were now filled with beings of various shapes and forms.
Some were entirely shrouded in gray mist, with only a pair of obscure and unfathomable eyes occasionally appearing, like a sentient wisp of mist.
Others were covered in blades and weapons, constantly dripping blood.
In short, the beings who could sit here were almost all devoid of proper human form. The only thing they had in common was…
a dense and immense aura of divine authority emanating from everyone.
Those who could attend the Demon Lord Council, besides the Demon Lords, were only those with divine authority beneath them.
This time, the King of Greed did not use words to provoke the King of Arrogance or the King of Envy as he had done before, but sat there in silence, as taciturn as all the other divine authority holders.
The King of Gluttony did not eat, and the King of Sloth did not sleep.
Everyone sat properly in their seats.
However, the King of Envy could still feel gazes filled with malice and anger occasionally directed at him.
Even those divine authority holders belonging to the Domain of Envy behind him occasionally cast doubtful and puzzled glances.
"Twice now…"
This suffocating silence lasted for a long time until the crisp, yet solemn, voice of the King of Sloth rang out.
"The great Demon Race, which has always been invincible in the Rodric Continent, has been defeated twice by the Church of the Dawn."
The King of Sloth glanced at the King of Arrogance.
"The first time, Orens lost his right arm and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse along with the Son of Arrogance. Perhaps we could excuse him for being careless."
"But what about this time?"
The King of Sloth's intangible aura spread out, faintly echoing the blood moon, making the Demon Lords and the gods afraid to look directly at him.
"Envy lost the Envoy of Envy and tens of thousands of Leviathan elites… This is nothing."
"But Envy's projection, under the watchful eyes of everyone on the Rodric Continent, was defeated by three mere native ants of the Rodric Continent!"
"Everyone… Looking back at the Demon Race's history of conquering realms for hundreds of thousands of years, when has there ever been such a situation?"
"The Demon Race has lost face, and the Master is furious. The Will of the World has greatly increased in strength due to the sudden rise of the Hundred Race Alliance's will to resist, and the Primordial Abyss is furious!"
The King of Sloth's tone became increasingly serious and heavy.
"This defeat has completely affected the divine authority of our Demon Race! It has completely affected the stability of the Primordial Abyss and the Domains of Sin."
"This time, Envy cut off nearly one percent of the origin of the Domain of Envy to appease the Primordial Abyss's hunger, and consumed three worlds controlled by the Domain of Envy to quell the Primordial Abyss's anger."
"Envy is not worthy of our ridicule; we should be vigilant! Must we cut off the origin of our worlds next time to appease the Primordial Abyss's anger?"
"Now, this is no longer a matter of a single Demon Lord!"
The King of Sloth heavily slammed his hand on the table, and demonic energy soared into the sky.
"The existence of the Church of the Dawn has seriously impacted the position of our Demon Race. The divine authority holders of the Dawn Divine System have seriously threatened our Demon Race's layout for the war of the worlds!"
"You should understand that the Church of the Dawn is not the fragile resistance force of self-proclaimed saviors that we have faced in those worlds in the past."
"They are a divine system qualified to become the Demon Race's enemy! A pantheon that will wage a pantheonic war against the Demon Race!"
"And whether it is the so-called Dawn or the God of Life existing in their pantheon, they have already proven with facts that there is no possibility of coexistence between us!"
"We are natural enemies! Since they want war, we will give them a war they cannot handle!"
Speaking of this, the King of Sloth paused, looking at the increasingly solemn atmosphere in the room.
He said faintly:
"And now, what should be paid the most attention to is… we simply do not know how many divine authority holders there are in the Dawn Pantheon, how many gods like the God of Life who naturally restrain our Demon Race there are!"
The King of Sloth slowly stood up, and his figure, which was considered the shortest among the many gods, erupted with an aura that no one could ignore.
The King of Sloth's tone was cold and sinister, which, coupled with his cute child's face, made him seem endlessly bizarre.
"Everyone, the Rodric Continent, the Hundred Race Alliance… even the worlds that our Demon Race gods are currently laying out and preparing to lay out are no longer important!"
"A natural enemy of the Demon Race has appeared in the jungle of the worlds. What we must do now is to strangle this pantheon, which will inevitably become a mortal threat to the Demon Race, on the Rodric Continent!"
"Only one hunter is allowed in the jungle of the worlds, and that hunter can only be the great Demon Race!"
"The Dawn Pantheon has already stretched its hand into a position it should not have stretched into. The Demon Race must go all out to make them understand that some things are not something they are qualified to do!"
A cacophony of voices from the many gods of the Demon Race divine system suddenly rang out in his ears.
Many of them were laying out plans in some weak worlds, and just as these worlds were about to become their achievements, they were suddenly asked to give up and turn to deal with an unknown and unfathomable strange pantheon.
Most importantly, this unfamiliar god group seems to be a natural counter to the demons.
How could they be willing?
"This is the master's will."
The King of Sloth added calmly, and in an instant, the arena fell into dead silence.
Regardless of which sin domain they belonged to, they were, in the final analysis, members of the demon god group.
The Eternal Fallen One had spoken, and they could not disobey.
The King of Greed's shadow flickered for a moment, and after a long while, a shrill voice said:
"Does the master want all of our demon god-holders to wage war against the Dawn God group on the Roderick Continent?"
The King of Sloth nodded, but the King of Lust hesitated:
"Leaving aside whether the Roderick Continent can withstand the war of the gods, even if our god-holders can be deployed to the Primordial Abyss region, they will be suppressed."
"The Seven Sacred Objects of the Roderick Continent have already submitted to the Dawn God group. Waging war against them there is disadvantageous to us. Moreover, there are god-holders among them who can restrain us."
The King of Sloth glanced at the King of Lust and said calmly:
"The Primordial Abyss will gather all the power applied to the various realms, concentrating its will to help the demon god-holders descend. The master's intention is that we must, at all costs, stop the Dawn God group on the Roderick Continent."
"We must never allow them to step into the jungle of the world. Otherwise, given the characteristics of their god group, they will soon possess enough of the world's origin to continue creating gods. For us, waging war outside the world is even more disadvantageous."
Everyone recalled the speed at which the Church of Dawn had spread. From nothing, in less than a year, it had developed to this point, directly inflicting two heavy blows on the demons and shattering more than two hundred years of the demons' efforts.
If they were really allowed to leave the Roderick Continent, given their speed of expansion, coupled with the contrast of the demon god group, many worlds would probably offer their faith at the first opportunity.
This snowball must not be allowed to roll.
After a moment, the King of Sloth looked at the King of Envy and the King of Pride.
"You two have faced the god-holders of the Dawn God group. Origenes, you have even faced the Dawn Pope twice. What intelligence do you have to provide?"
The King of Envy raised his head, his eyes blood-red and terrifying. After a long while, he said in a hoarse voice:
"The Sea God, Lochia… He is not the kind of god-holder we have seen before. He seems to be a natural god, and his strength is difficult to judge using our demon system."
"However, in terms of strength, he is at most a high-level middle god. The Life God is probably the same. It's just that, due to the special nature of her life authority, the restraint on us will be stronger."
That's two middle gods…
How many such gods does the Dawn God group have?
For a time, the King of Greed and the others couldn't help but feel a headache.
"What about the Dawn Pope?"
The King of Sloth looked at the King of Pride, whose face was gloomy.
"He is definitely not the Pope, but the Dawn God, the god-master of the Dawn God group. I heard the Sea God and the Life God call him master before."
"What is his strength?"
Hearing this, the King of Pride wanted to subconsciously reply that he was nothing special, and if given the chance, he could easily defeat Ian.
But in the end, the King of Pride clenched his fists, enduring his anger and frustration, and said:
"Very strong… He didn't use his full strength last time. Although this time it is a projection descending, I can feel that he is a god-holder who surpasses me."
Hearing this, the King of Sloth's expression became even more solemn.
"A chief god?"
The King of Pride did not answer, but it seemed that only a chief god could explain it.
The King of Sloth asked further.
"What exactly is his authority?"
"I don't know."
The King of Pride's expression became even more unsightly.
"When he attacked, he didn't use his authority at all."
Confirmed!
Undoubtedly a chief god!
Being able to easily injure the King of Pride without using his authority, there is only one such existence among the demons.
The demon's supreme god-master, the master of all demon kings, and the only chief god in the demon god group, the Eternal Fallen One.
The King of Sloth closed his eyes and said no more.
Having confirmed that the Dawn Pope is a chief god, what follows is no longer something they can handle.
Only a chief god can face a chief god. The Seven Sin Demon Kings are at most at the peak of the high-level god.
Although they were unwilling to think so, they had to admit it.
The Church of Dawn is no longer something that the Seven Sin Demon Kings and the demon god-holders can simply deal with.
The other side is a god group that is truly qualified to compete with the demons, although it is unknown where this outrageous existence came from, but right now that is no longer important…
The Seven Sin Demon Kings combined are not a match for a chief god. If they want to deal with the Dawn God group, they must invite the Demon Lord.
And that Demon Lord, upon hearing the name of the chief god, had already descended.
A chair suddenly appeared at the center of the long table.
On the chair, a hazy figure sat upright, its face invisible, only a pair of scarlet eyes visible within the haze.
Identical to the blood moon in the sky.
There was also a deep, dark crack open in its chest, seemingly dotted with stars, full of mystery.
In an instant, the Seven Sin Demon Kings and all the demon god-holders knelt down and cheered.
"Welcome our lord, the King of Eternal Fall, the Lord of All Realms!"
"Glory belongs to you!"
The Eternal Fallen One's scarlet blood moon eyes swept over the demons, pausing for a moment on the King of Envy and the King of Pride.
That moment alone caused cold sweat to break out all over them.
After a long while, his gaze shifted, and a clear, cold voice rang out.
"From now on, the demons will be taken over by me, and the war will be coordinated by me!"
"Everyone should have the same goal."
"Annihilate the Dawn God group on the Roderick Continent!"
