Chapter 1006: Chapter 422: The Closed Abyss Gate and Advice (7.2k)_3 Chapter 1006: Chapter 422: The Closed Abyss Gate and Advice (7.2k)_3 Strong power surged under the hood, an abusing demon, such mundane and normal vocabulary. Rarely would anyone let a demon hold power, and if one did, no one would be surprised by such a madman’s reckless actions.

At this moment, Zeus had changed his mind.

Since you are seeking your own death, don’t blame me. I didn’t want to cause too much disturbance before leaving; I simply didn’t want to create too much trouble for the next infiltration.

At this point, you don’t really think you can stop me, do you? Wait until I unleash my true power…

“Buzz…”

Taking a step forward, Zeus was ready to make a move. But at this moment, the Abyss Gate, that was previously shimmering, suddenly dissolved amidst a buzzing sound.

The next moment, a vast and profound breath burst forth from the distant horizon, stabilizing the temporal and spatial fabric of the entire interface by more than one level.

Previously, a power at the level of Intermediate Divine Power could forcibly break through this so-called spatial blockade, but now it had become completely impossible.

Frozen in his tracks, Zeus had never expected such a thing to happen. However, at the same time, the Horned Demon Commander in front of him noticed his gesture.

“Hmm?”

“What, you remotely-born mixed-breed demon, thinking of making a move?”

His mouth gaping open, there was a certain eagerness in his expression.

For these outer demons who haven’t undergone the Baptism of Thunder Pool Power, the Horned Demon Commander knew all too well their mad nature.

Even suppressed by the mighty Lord’s power, among them there were still those who would not hesitate to resort to mutual destruction at the slightest disagreement.

If this one in front of him wanted to fight, he was more than willing to oblige.

“You–”
Hearing this, Zeus’s breath halted, and intense anger burned in his heart.

Damn it, such a lowly creature, daring to insult the revered Divine King… although Zeus knew that in the Abyss, ‘mixed-breed’ is a common term merely referring to the indistinguishable new bloodline demons, but it did nothing to lessen his anger.

A dragon stooping in shallow waters is ridiculed by shrimp, a tiger fallen flat on the plains is bullied by dogs; Chaos doesn’t have such proverbs, but the sentiment is not uncommon, yet despite his fury, Zeus had no choice but to forcibly suppress it.

He was a man who prioritized interests; angrily killing a Demigod Demon only to vent his fury, yet leaving everything but his consciousness in the Abyss, was absolutely unacceptable to him.

Thus, under the regretful and mocking gaze of the Horned Demon Commander, Zeus chose to turn around and leave.

The previously paid toll was not even worth considering; it was certainly not recoverable. Besides, he didn’t care about that, what he really wanted to understand was why the ruler of this realm suddenly made such a decision.

“Heh, a cowardly waste, are these the demons from the outside world? It’s a pity I couldn’t harvest another Demigod Heart Core…”

With a cold sneer, the Horned Demon Commander felt somewhat regretful; although the opponent carried the aura of a Lord Seal, it was no ordinary demon’s.

As a Gatekeeper also holding a counterfeit ‘Demon Prince’ seal, he recognized at a glance that this was a Lord’s seal bestowed upon another.

Such seals were generally only granted to powerful Demigod Demons, allowing them to move on behalf of the Lord in other planes, and normally no one would dare to provoke them; but this was [682-11-Thunder Pool].

The most powerful of the active demons in Tartarus, and the most active of the powerful demons, no Lord would personally come to retaliate for the death of a subordinate.

“But on second thought, why would the Lord suddenly make such a decision? Could it be…”
As a clever demon refined by the Thunder Pool, seeing no chance to covertly increase his power, the Horned Demon Commander reconsidered this sudden order.

In recent years, his own Lord encountered a trouble not too big nor too small, and even an outsider like Zeus could find out about it, and so could he.

Now that the other party suddenly made such a move, it was very likely related to this.

“…The Lord was born in the Thunder Pool at the center of the realm, and the core of the Thunder Pool contains a terrifying presence that even the most potent Demon Gods must revere.”

“There are rumors, though, that the power there is only superficial and not fundamental, diminishing with each use, and will ultimately run out.”

“Moreover, some say that although the great ‘Demon Prince’ wants to unify the Abyss, it’s not something easily achievable.”

“The Abyssal Demon Lords can’t occupy the Abyss indiscriminately; once they reach a certain limit, they must establish ‘merits’ for the Abyss to continue to grow stronger.”

“For this reason, there are so many realms within the Abyss that have not been occupied, not because other Lords don’t want them, but because they simply can’t occupy them.”

“The vast majority of Lords can only occupy one level of the Abyss, unless it matches their attribute and bloodline, enabling them to wield a second or third realm.”

“After maximizing their control of power, they mostly choose to campaign against Purgatory, thereby establishing merits for the grand Abyss Will.”

Various thoughts rose and extinguished in his mind; perhaps the Abyss Will’s favor could be attained in other ways, but that was beyond the Horned Demon Commander’s knowledge.

Thus faced with the Lord’s sudden command, he could only speculate that it might be related to Hell, or possibly connected to the Thunder Pool.

“Abyssal Demon Lords… a bunch of ignorant beings can do it, when can I reach that stage…”
