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

The Netherworld Prison.

This is not a prison, but a living coffin—a distorted plane of existence with a harsh environment, specifically designed to imprison those heinous demons.

There is no "sky" here. That thing cannot be called "sky" at all; it is a constantly pressing black dome, as if woven from billions of curses. Occasionally, a dark light, like pus and blood, seeps out.

There is no "earth," only a writhing carpet of flesh, made up of rotten flesh of unknown origin, which makes a sticky swallowing sound when stepped on.

The ground was not solid, but rather like flesh and blood... a semi-liquid, decaying tissue, its surface covered with pulsating blood vessels and festering sores. Every step you took on it left a footprint, but it would disappear after a few seconds.

Such a harsh environment, a veritable hell on earth, is perfectly suited for imprisoning demons.

And within that deep black sky, there was a colossal figure.

The dome becomes His black backdrop. If He descends upon the world, the clouds will retreat like submissive servants, and the stars will go out and dim.

It was a giant hand reaching out from the end of the abyss, with a massive body comparable to other demons; the thickness of its wrist alone was enough to encircle a mountain.

His skin was solidified darkness, but not pure black—if you stared at it for too long, you would see a dark, rusty glow surging within, the blood of imprisoned arrogance flowing beneath his skin.

Domri, the demon of lust and domination, is depicted in the form of a gigantic hand.

Demons are all strangely shaped, but Domri, the demon of lust and domination, is relatively small among demons—at least from the outside, it can be seen that it is a giant hand.

This giant hand seems to be in a bad mood right now.

The entire "sky" began to twist and deform, and the giant hand covering the forbidden prison suddenly tightened. Five pillar-like fingers bent, and the space itself emitted a crisp sound like shattering glass. The horde of monsters below instantly exploded into a bloody mist, their screams coalescing into a swirling crimson-black thunderstorm in the palm of the hand.

After venting its anger haphazardly, the colossal hand finally calmed down a bit.

"A failure as expected."

He whispered.

Domri, the demon of lust for power and domination, represents an insatiable desire for power and control.

Their desire manifests as the acquisition of vast tracts of land under their control and the domination of everything for their own use.

All the lands and monsters under his command are subject to Domri's control.

The subjugated have virtually no self-awareness and act entirely in accordance with the commands of Domri, the demon of lust and domination.

This is one manifestation of domination. Of course, it can also preserve the mind of the dominated, modifying the loyalty of the power-hungry and dominating demon Domri through the domination of the soul. It can be said to be a form of brainwashing.

This type of control is used on the cult members under his command.

The high-ranking cultists of the Demonic Order's power-hungry and domineering faction are all unknowingly subjected to this kind of domination and are used by the power-hungry and domineering demon Domri.

The purpose of maintaining control over consciousness is to allow cult members to hide in the main plane, appearing no different from ordinary people, making it difficult to tell whether a person has been "controlled".

There are other reasons as well.

Domination after stripping away consciousness requires the power-hungry demon Domri to expend more energy controlling the behavior of the dominated, since the dominated do not have consciousness and will only obey the commands of the power-hungry demon Domri.

However, since the cultists are far away in the main plane, it is by no means easy for Him to issue orders to the cultists in the main plane through the blockade of the Netherworld Prison. It is impossible for Him to explain the orders clearly word by word.

Therefore, the self-awareness of the subordinates is required. Such subordinates only need to be given a general direction and they will act autonomously. Domri does not need to issue too many instructions across the space blockade.

From the moment they were sealed away until now, all demons have been searching for a way to escape the Netherworld Prison, and Domri, the demon of lust and domination, is no exception.

This time, the demon Domri, driven by lust for power and domination, sought to test "His" attitude by contacting cultists in the prime plane. He opened a portal between two secret realms and the Netherworld Prison, dispatching his followers to unleash even more power to corrupt the secret realms and turn them to his own use.

Then, open a portal between the secret realm and the main plane, and command the secret realm monsters that have been corrupted into your own forces to attack the main plane.

This was a bold attempt to test "He".

However, the result was not as the devil wished.

"Both locations were suppressed, and the mission of invading the main plane was not completed."

What alarmed Him was the speed of the repression.

"He is still watching and will not allow us to reach out to the Prime Material Plane."

The time is not yet ripe; the seal of the Netherworld Prison cannot be broken for now.

For thousands of years, such an opportunity has never come.

We still need to wait for the right opportunity; He will not be content to be imprisoned in such a place!

—————————————————————

Gray was about to throw up.

With Bai Lin's breakthrough imminent, Gray hurriedly found a secret realm to send Bai Lin in for the breakthrough, while he himself stayed by Bai Lin's side to protect him.

The idea was good, but unfortunately Gray overlooked one thing.

He did not confirm with Bai Lin the approximate time it would take for her to break through the seclusion.

It has been more than a month since they entered the secret realm, and Gray has been counting the days by counting the rising and setting of the sun and moon.

During the White Scale Breakthrough, the Transformation Technique will not be used to maintain the human form.

For a dragon, its original form is the most comfortable.

With such a massive dragon body, it's incredibly conspicuous no matter how you look at it.

The monsters within the secret realm are afraid to approach due to the dragon's might of the white scales, so the monsters within the secret realm are nothing to fear.

It is important to note the adventurers who enter the secret realm from the main plane through the portal.

If adventurers discover the existence of White Scale, it will soon spread throughout the Kingdom of Olmec, and many overconfident "dragon slayers" will try to disrupt White Scale's breakthrough.

For the past month or so, Gray has been protecting White Scales, guarding against human adventurers.

With her mental power fully unleashed, she activated the monster horde to drive away any adventurers who approached, ensuring that White Scale would not be discovered by human adventurers.

You asked how Gray activated the monster horde?

Very simple.

The first step is to find the monster group.

The second step is to release the magic.

Then, as Gray wished, the monster horde would run in the direction Gray was driving, and this "artificial beast tide" would scare away the adventurers.

This job is very tiring.

The white-scaled dragon's body is too large and too conspicuous; adventurers must be driven to a great distance to ensure they are not discovered.

Covering a radius of several kilometers, it drives away adventurers. Even Gray gets tired and needs to take a nap every day to recover his strength.

"How long will she be in seclusion? Will it last all year...?"

White Scale is a long-lived dragon; you know what, it really could take that long to consume its essence...

Gray: "It shouldn't be until I die of old age, right?"
