Chapter 1016: Chapter 427: The Demon’s Doctrine of Victory

In the distant sky, oppressive thunderclouds rolled in.

The Interface Power, dominion over a realm, spontaneously gathered at his side, shielding its own sovereign.

A human figure with eagle wings, hands like talons, surrounded by Thunder Fire, holding a long spear.

Soaring swiftly through the skies of Thunder Pool 862-11, the Demon Prince casually struck down a demon tainted with the Lord’s Seal using thunder and lightning, and continued on towards the next target.

His towering height stretched several zhang, and at the center of his brow, a single eye sparkled with silver light, ceaselessly scanning the Earth, with nothing hidden from its sight.

As one of the Abyssal Demon Lords, the Demon Prince undoubtedly had an appearance unlike any Deity of the Mortal Realm. However, in many respects, this Lord similarly retained a somewhat humanesque visage.

And for this appearance, many Demon Gods had mocked him for his ‘fragility’, yet unexpectedly, the Mother of Demons who dwelt at the Bottom of the Abyss seemed to truly appreciate it.

Of course, in any case, once the Demon Prince demonstrated his overwhelming Strength, no one dared to contest him anymore.

“Crack–”

Once again approaching a being infused with the Lord’s aura, the Demon Prince casually unleashed another bolt of lightning, showing no intent to identify the target.

However, unlike before, when this thunderbolt struck, a strong surge of Power of Demon God suddenly rose to intercept his attack.

“Hmm?”

“This seems like… a seal used to conceal one’s identity.”

From extreme speed to a sudden halt, standing proudly in the sky, the Demon Prince observed the house where the Power of Demon God arose, the single eye on his brow shimmering with light.

Had the other not made a move, he might have failed to notice and been deceived.

But now that they have interfered, even through the cover of the Lord Seal, the Demon Prince still discerned the True God Power hidden beneath the might of the Demon Gods.

Orderly and harmonious, yet completely at odds with the Abyss. And atop that Divine Power, there also shone a striking Thunder.

“The Thunder God of the Mortal Realm, he did not deceive me… Hahaha…”

Smirking with laughter, the Demon Prince ceased his attack.

His majestic eagle wings fluttered behind him, causing his form to rapidly descend.

At this moment near the ground, the Divine King’s avatar was full of annoyance and regret.

It was so close, just so close.

He had thought that even if this distinctive Abyss Lord harbored ill will, he would at least ascertain his identity before taking action, but unexpectedly, the Lord had struck without warning.

Divine Power surged through his body, and in that moment, Zeus prepared to forsake this incarnation.

After all, he is the King of All Gods. If he chose to burn everything this incarnation had, the true body in the Mortal Realm could use it as a guide to retrieve his incarnate consciousness.

It’s just a shame about this Origin Power of an Alien Deity… With a solemn expression, Zeus was about to make a move.

But in the next moment, the descending Demon God seemed to have no intention of continuing his attack, instead retracting his power and landing on the Earth.

“…Attacking without cause, what is your intent, sir?”

“Could it be that your previous command was but a jest, hence the abrupt change in orders?”

Silence for a brief moment, Zeus was somewhat uncertain of the other’s intentions.

But regardless, if he could avoid the worst outcome, the Divine King naturally wanted to avoid it.

So with cautiousness in mind, Zeus questioned the newcomer first.

“Attacking unprovoked?

“Hahahaha…”

“Alien Deity, you openly violated my orders, forcefully breaking through my city, and now you have the audacity to question me?”

“It seems that the Gods of the Mortal Realm are not so different from the Abyss; we both do not care for those so-called reasons and only for our own fists, hahahaha…”

With uproarious laughter, the Demon Prince’s three eyes appraised Zeus from head to toe, as if examining goods.

Yes, just like that, the Mother of Demons would be pleased… Thinking thus, the Demon Lord did not dither.

He waved his hand grandly; an invisible force descended on Zeus, attempting to carry him into the high skies.

“Come, come with me.”

“I have been searching for you, it seems he has not deceived me.”

“Alien God, you should know what I am seeking you for. Now, let’s first return to ‘Thunder Pool’.”

Boom–

A short and intense vibration erupted as the Demon Prince’s power collided with Zeus’s instinctual resistance, and then effortlessly broke through the latter’s defense.

A struggle flashed through the eyes of the Divine King’s incarnation; under normal circumstances, he would never tolerate such behavior.

But now, a mighty ally might await him ahead, and the rewards of this journey were not yet fully dealt with.

After much hesitation, even as he was drawn into the torn spatial rift, Zeus ultimately did not resist.

‘Endure it for now, these lowly beings of the Abyss are always so discourteous, there’s no need for me to stoop to their level…’

‘This is all for a greater good, once I unify the world in the future, there will be ample time to settle scores with these contemptible demons.’

Comforting himself inwardly, Zeus’s mood returned to calm.

After so many years, he was long no longer his former self.

Such a trivial matter, it truly meant nothing.

“Where are you taking me?”

“‘Thunder Pool’… Isn’t this realm itself Thunder Pool?”

“Also, your previous actions, regardless of whether they were justified or not, if it were someone else, they probably would have been slain by your hand already–”

“–Not necessarily.”

Traversing the Void with the authority of the Interface, the Demon Prince interrupted Zeus with a laugh.
