Chapter 1010: Chapter 424: Unexpected Visitor(s)

Silently retreating to an unnoticed corner, at this moment, the plaza where the black stele stood was a complete pandemonium of demons.

Having learned the cause and effect, Zeus no longer continued to crowd among those demons.

He planned to wait a few days and take the opportunity to better understand this so-called Demon Prince.

After all, even though the other party spoke well, the Divine King’s incarnation still did not wish to put the entire success or failure of the trip solely on an Abyssal Demon Lord.

Speaking nothing of the rest, the first thing Zeus needed to do was to find places to hide Mjolnir, the Thunder God’s Hammer, and the remnants of Thor’s origin that were within it.

That way, in case anything changed, he would be able to think of a way to retrieve the treasures he had hidden in the Abyss in the future.

On the other hand, if they fell into the hands of that Demon Prince, then the Divine King could basically say goodbye to them.

Abyss Demons are not the kind of existence to spit out the meat that reaches their mouths, especially since this realm is closely related to the power of ‘Dian’ (thunder and lightning).

Therefore, if the other party suddenly turned hostile, Zeus could minimize the risk.

Of course, if everything went smoothly, that would naturally be the best outcome.

“…I really never imagined.”

“I once wooed Metis, and this goddess of wisdom and beauty brought me the aid of the Ocean God System.”

“Now, I am once again embarking on the same path, henceforth, the Abyss might even become my ally…”

“Tsk… it’s just that I don’t know how beautiful the legendary Mother of Demons really is.”

“Ultimate is the appearance, supreme is the radiance.”

“I don’t ask for much, as an Ancient God who also bred Abyssal Demon Lords from herself, if she only looks like Gaia did in her youth, that would satisfy me.”

“The Heavenly Father is the pioneer of sovereignty, and I am the one to elevate it to another level of greatness. What he once had, naturally, there should also be a share that belongs to me…”

His face did not show it, but in his heart, he was indeed somewhat expectant. However, after contemplating for a moment, Zeus ultimately gave up the idea of inquiring about the other party and decided to leave the surprise for a later day.

On one hand, as the only great one in Tartarus, information about Moya would be extremely scarce and distorted. Instead of receiving false information, he preferred not to acquire any at all.

On the other hand, it served to maintain a sense of anticipation; after all, no matter how one thought about it, this beauty praised by countless demons as ‘ultimate’ should not be inferior to the many True Gods of the present world, even if it had a touch of exotic charm.

“Just wait another month… no, just half a month.”

“By then, even if I don’t come forward, their individual investigations will trace back to me.”

Zeus slightly shook his head, and with a hint of helplessness thought of this.

Although Zeus no longer felt any aversion to the matter, only a cautious heart still remained, being passively discovered was never something to be happy about.

But what could he do if the command of the Abyss Lord coincidentally arrived on the same day as his? This was an unavoidable circumstance.

Thus, he lowered his head to ponder, no longer focusing on those temporary, unchangeable matters, and Zeus turned his attention to places he had previously visited in this layer of the Abyss.

The city was already sealed off, any forced entry would trigger the illusory Lord Seal to mark the intruder with the Interface Power. Coupled with the time and space lockdown of this realm, it was almost like catching a turtle in a jar.

However, if he were to burst forth with part of his strength to leave this place and then hide the Divine Artifact and the Origin separately before the arrival of the Demon Prince, that should still be more than enough.

“Just like that.”

“Advance to attack, retreat to defend.”

After rerunning the plan in his mind, Zeus found no issues.

Next, all he needed to do was wait.

…

Deep in the Abyss, the eagerly expectant incarnation of the Divine King temporarily settled into calm.

The current beings of the world still knew too little about Abyss Demons.

Based solely on the current circumstances, Zeus could not confirm whether the Lord of the Thunder Pool was a rational Abyssal Demon Lord, distinct from its kind and more impulsive than reasoned, or a capricious madman who changes commands from morning to evening.

These things could only be substantiated through personal witness and proven over time. He did not have much time, so he could only prepare himself for contingencies.

Meanwhile, almost exactly when the black stele descended from the sky, the Five-Colored Dragon Queen had also returned to the Myriad Abyss Plains.

Fondling the black crystal hidden beneath the Dragon Scale, she discerned its direction and then headed…
