The maid squad is too strong, what use is there for me, the Demon King?

The rift is actually a portal to a secret realm, from which emanates the aura of demons...

A portal to the Netherworld Prison?

That is impossible.

When it comes to demons and secret realms, the first thing that comes to mind is the Netherworld Prison.

The Netherworld Prison is where the seven (oh, now six) demons are imprisoned. If the portal between the Prime Material Plane and the Netherworld Prison were to open, and the demons were to invade the Prime Material Plane with their minions, it would be an absolute catastrophe.

Gray believes there are two reasons why this rift is not a portal between the Prime Material Plane and the Netherworld.

First of all, the demonic aura I sensed was too weak. I couldn't even detect the presence of a demon's familiar, let alone a tenth-tier demon.

Moreover, Gray knew that demons couldn't come, or rather, dared not come to the Prime Material Plane.

During the Holy Light Pilgrimage, cultists from the Desire and Truth faction of the Demon Order rallied their entire faction and wreaked havoc, summoning the Desire and Truth demon Thutt, whom they worshipped.

The demon of knowledge and truth, Thurt, merely invaded a secret realm, yet it summoned the angels. Even though the angels had an elemental advantage over demons, they still couldn't defeat Thurt...

The vegetables are dead.

Recalling the feeling of being watched when he killed Thurt, the demon of knowledge and truth, Gray couldn't help but shudder.

That being is definitely not just at the tenth level; it transcends the limitations of the world.

Those demons only dare to invade secret realms, not the main plane, because they fear that unknown being.

Gray roughly guessed the reason for the formation of the crack.

What means did the demon use to corrupt a secret realm, open a portal between the secret realm and the main plane, and send these monsters, which have not yet reached the level of demonic servants, to invade the main plane?

The purpose is probably to test the limits of that entity, to see to what extent that entity would turn a blind eye and not take action to punish them.

That's incredibly audacious; it's undoubtedly a provocation against that entity.

Perhaps it's best for Gray to just let go of the matter of the demon and that being.

What kind of result would that lead to?

The sudden opening of the portal unleashed a monster invasion, catching the Olmec Kingdom off guard. While the entire kingdom may not fall, this Eagle Territory will certainly suffer immense devastation.

Let's deal with this. This is all the work of the demons. There's no reason to only care about the demon cult and ignore the demons themselves.

"Wait a moment, I'll fix this crack," Gray said to White Scale, then raised his right hand and grasped the longsword formed from magic.

"Ah."

Bai Lin certainly wouldn't object; watching the entire "I am atomic" process again would also be very beneficial for her.

As a demon king, he is truly different.

A large number of monsters are attacking human territory. Shouldn't the demons be secretly happy and cheering them on?

He, however, was determined to address this event that would cause immense harm to humanity...

Is it to repay the kindness of human foster parents?

Bai Lin shook his head.

I don't know, I don't know what Gray, this new Demon King, is thinking...

While Bai Lin was lost in thought, the purplish-black light curtain unfolded again, this time covering the crack that pierced the sky.

Monsters kept pouring out of the crack. Corrupted by the demonic aura, the monsters seemed to have lost even the most basic will to survive. They clearly sensed the imminent explosion of immense magical power, but instead of fleeing, they kept pouring out of the crack.

Thus, she blossomed a second time.

"I am atomic!"

The purplish-black light curtain once again illuminated the sky.

In an instant, the crack and the demonic hook vanished.

Bai Lin stared intently at the scene, his expression unconsciously becoming fanatical.

Of course, this level of fanaticism is far less than that of fanatics like Theta and Lyra.

“The second time…” Bai Lin muttered to himself.

In her opinion, Gray showed no signs of fatigue despite using "I am atomic" twice.

Gray's magic was well hidden; unless he released it voluntarily, probably no one could see the terrifying magic contained within this human-like body.

Bai Lin couldn't discern Gray's energy expenditure, but he vaguely sensed that the two consecutive "I am atomic" pronouncements were nothing more than a piece of cake for him...

Perhaps I still underestimate him?

Thinking about it, Bai Lin immediately banished the thought from her mind.

That's right, the stronger the spouse she chooses, the better.

"It's resolved. You've had an epiphany, haven't you? Go find a place to go into seclusion for a while..."

As Gray spoke, he suddenly realized something.

Bai Lin's sudden enlightenment will inevitably lead him to break through from the pseudo-tenth rank to the true tenth rank, and the power generated by breaking through to the tenth rank...

That's obviously impossible to do in human territory; it wouldn't be good to be disturbed during the breakthrough.

Although Gray is watching over things and there shouldn't be any problems, it's still best to keep a low profile and avoid causing any unnecessary trouble.

The two "I am atomic" pronouncements have already attracted the attention of the locals, and now there's the commotion of the White Scale Breakthrough...

Bai Lin chose to break through to a point of no return in the wilderness, such as within a secret realm...

Gray fell silent.

That crack was a portal to a secret realm! Although there were monsters and demonic auras, we could just rush in and clear them all out. It's an excellent place for secluded cultivation.

The portal to this perfect secluded training location was just destroyed by his "I am atomic" attack.

Gray: ???

He can blow up portals to secret realms, but he can't open portals from the prime plane to secret realms.

There are no known secret realm portals within Eagle Territory, and the newly opened one was destroyed by him...

This means he has to take Bai Lin across Eagle Territory to other territories to find the portal to the secret realm...

Gray almost slapped himself.

Why did you fry it so fast?!

—————————————————————

The Netherworld Prison is a dark place where one cannot sense any life.

It can be described as "a desolate place".

Even demons despise such a place, but there's nothing they can do about it.

"Once the main body leaves the Netherworld Prison, even if it only goes to a secret realm, it will attract the attention of the angels and be hunted down."

A chilling voice echoed, resounding through the gloomy sky of the Netherworld Prison.

"Angels are not difficult to deal with, but their light attribute is very annoying."

Killing one angel won't cause any problems, but you'll be hunted down by many more angels.

If too many angels are killed, that one will no longer stand idly by.

But... if they merely send their subordinates and don't go too far in the secret realms or the main plane, they won't interfere.

The enormous creature hovered in mid-air, its single eye wide open, staring down intently...
