Chapter 561 - 323: Cruel Demon King (2-in-1)
In the end, the Snake-headed Great Demon won the battle, bloodily severing the opponent’s head and throwing its mutilated body into the Mother of Creation, letting out a cruel roar.
A group of demons also roared in excitement.
The bloody battle excited them immensely.
After concluding the opening act, the Snake-headed Great Demon lowered its head with utmost respect, welcoming its King.
Boom—
A powerful aura emerged from the palace, with black and red forces almost forming a thick mist visible to the naked eye.
All demons in the Demon City chanted the title of "King."
The attending Demon Guardians and Great Demons also bowed their heads as a sign of respect.
Soon, a tall and ferocious demon appeared before everyone.
Its body was majestic and immense, with molten blood flowing like lava. It had the head of a dragon and a human body, four wings sprouting from its back, and long, sticky blood-red tentacles growing from its waist, resembling a red robe that added a touch of bloody elegance.
On its shoulders, there were two roaring blood-eyed goat heads, exuding an intimidating aura.
The Demon King known for its Cruelty!
A Demigod Level existence!
[Cruel Demon King]
[Type: Derivative Demon]
[Quality: Demigod]
[Level: 85]
[Tier: Demigod]
[Explanation: A pinnacle existence in the Sea of Demons, renowned for its "Cruelty," with terrifying means of dealing with enemies that make it a fearsome name in the Sea of Demons.]
"Oh?"
At first glance at the Cruel Demon King, Rogel’s eyes involuntarily showed a hint of interest.
Apart from the corresponding Authority Power, he unexpectedly sensed a familiar aura of authority on the Cruel Demon King before him.
Is this... Fear?
This was quite intriguing.
Rogel had already learned from knowledge and wisdom that the Authorities of Mystery and Fear do not exist at the same Demigod Tier.
So where did this Cruel Demon King before him acquire the "Fear" authority?
"Interesting."
Rogel initially didn’t want to meddle.
But the anomaly on the Cruel Demon King made him change his mind.
While Rogel was pondering.
The birthday celebration had also entered a crucial stage.
Unlike humans, demons apparently do not like many complicated ceremonies.
The reason why the Demon King held a birthday celebration was also for receiving gifts.
Therefore, after an impressive opening act, the gift-giving phase began.
First came several Great Demons, with gifts mostly consisting of souls.
The Great Demons at this tier could already communicate with the Main World through some special rituals, so acquiring some souls was not a problem.
Next were a few Demon Guardians.
Prometheus ranked relatively high.
And it presented an item provided by Rogel, a bone flute capable of purifying souls.
This was one of the trinkets Rogel obtained in the border mists, not very useful, but perhaps a good item for demons.
Perhaps equivalent to a "cigarette filter"?
Sure enough, after Prometheus demonstrated its use, the Cruel Demon King showed considerable interest and happily accepted it.
"This is a good item, Prometheus Guardian, you’ve done well..."
The Cruel Demon King’s crimson dragon head displayed a sinister smile.
Prometheus also breathed a sigh of relief.
Logically, the Demon King is a high-tier existence, and their needs are hard for ordinary demons to satisfy.
But actually, it’s not the case.
Because all demons, regardless of their nature, have a common hobby, which is souls.
High-quality souls are a rare delicacy for them.
Therefore, various Demon Kings also have a taste for this, their purpose being to satisfy their appetite for delicious souls.
And the "filter" provided by Prometheus clearly enhances soul quality, so gaining the Cruel Demon King’s approval wasn’t surprising.
"If there are any needs, just say it."
The Cruel Demon King seemed to be in a great mood, speaking in a hoarse voice.
Although there’s no reciprocation after giving a gift, it’s still possible to take this opportunity to ask for help or guidance from a big figure.
That’s why Prometheus brought this up with Rogel.
And the fact that the Cruel Demon King directly inquired after receiving the gift shows that it was indeed in a good mood, quite pleased with the gift.
Prometheus did not hesitate, as most dealings between demons are straightforward, so it directly stated its request.
"I hope you can help me lift the curse from this thing."
It took out the Illusory Black Stone and offered it up.
Prometheus naturally hadn’t forgotten there was someone keeping an eye on him all along.
The Cruel Demon King before him should be able to resolve this matter easily, and then he could completely stay away from that human plague...
Prometheus thought to himself.
However, the course of events took a small turn the moment it took out the Illusory Black Stone.
"...it’s Their curse... a pitiful Giant Dragon..."
The Cruel Demon King’s expression suddenly changed, cold and astonished.
Then, it gave Prometheus a sinister smile, and a scarlet force hoisted Prometheus into the air, leaving it unable to struggle.
Prometheus’s eyes were filled with terror.
"With such a good thing, you should have taken it out immediately."
It extended its demon claw, intending to take it directly.
But at that moment.
A streak of dark purple wrapped around the Illusory Black Stone, and appeared before the demons along with a striking human.
Rogel put the Illusory Black Stone away, while Furuya was transported to the cave space by him.
"So, you plan to take the benefit without doing the job, huh."
His gaze was calm, as he looked at the Cruel Demon King before him and mocked.
"What is this?"
"A human?"
The demons present were shocked, where did this person come from?
But Rogel paid them no mind, as beside the Cruel Demon King, the rest were just ants.
He had overestimated the moral baseline of demons.
The Cruel Demon King, after seeing the Illusory Black Stone, not only didn’t intend to do the job but even wanted to come up with a lame excuse to keep it for itself.
But this was within Rogel’s expectations and didn’t particularly surprise him.
It’s within reason for a demon to do such a thing.
The solution is simple—
Fight it out!
"Where did you come from..." But before the Cruel Demon King could finish speaking, it was suddenly enraged.
Because Rogel had already made his move!
Buzz—
Rogel didn’t hold back, as the Power of Faith operated, the Tier Power and Authority of Heisatan began to operate rapidly, using his body as the medium to swiftly spread!
"Arrogant!"
Seeing this, the Cruel Demon King let out a terrifying roar, and without hesitation crushed the unlucky Prometheus into a ball of flesh, killing it before it could even scream, then radiated its powerful Tier Power to oppose Rogel.
Boom—
The two immense Tier Powers began a fierce struggle, wantonly destroying everything around them.
With a demigod’s full power unleashed, just how terrifying could it be?
Look at this unfortunate floating Demon City and you’ll know.
Rumble—
The tremors swept through the entire Demon City like thunder.
With Rogel and the Cruel Demon King as the dividing line, the powers split everything in half.
Behind the Cruel Demon King, black and scarlet forces continued to spread, all demons lay prostrate on the ground, unable to move, wailing everywhere, while the space behind them distorted.
This was the Cruel Demon King holding back.
But on Rogel’s side, he felt no need to hold back.
It’s not his turf, so he does as he pleases!
Rumble—
The Demon City crumbled, islands fractured, demons couldn’t even let out a wail, as the black Power of Fear enveloped everything visible, the pitch-black tide swallowing everything whole...
Behind him, even the space itself was twisted by the Black Tide, leaving only mystery and boundless fear!
The monsters within the Black Tide struggled, attempting to break free from its restraints and devour the demon before them!
Seeing that the contest of Tier Powers had not produced an overwhelming advantage, Rogel prepared to go all out...
"Enough, damn human! Stop!"
"Who exactly are you? Where did you come from? What is your purpose!"
The Cruel Demon King, however, blinked in surprise, starting to hold back a bit.
Dammit, fighting on its own turf, it was at a loss.
A demigod’s power is too terrifying, the battle as catastrophic as heaven and earth collapsing.
But this guy in front of it didn’t care at all because the battleground wasn’t at its home.
This infuriated the Cruel Demon King, feeling this human was even more savage than them demons.
State your purpose, since we’re of the same level, we could negotiate first at least, why start by wrecking the place?
