Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　On the contrary, they are even more actively advancing their plan to divide up the necromancer territories, secretly accumulating strength, preparing to seize the greatest benefits at the lowest cost after the decisive battle between Moros and the Temptress Lord, thus gaining access to the 406th layer of the Abyss.

　To gain a more advantageous position in the fierce competition.

　And now is the perfect time for them to enter.

　The Temptress Lord has fallen to the necromancer's staff, and as the victor of this battle, the necromancer must also be severely weakened and his power greatly diminished.

　Driven by an intense desire to eliminate their rivals and ascend to the throne of the demon lords, the four lesser demon lords, including Zephyr, each led their powerful demon legions and marched in a mighty force toward the battlefield where Moros would face off against the Temptress Lord.

　However, luck was on Moros's side.

　On their journey to the battlefield, the demon legion of Soul Lord Zefer unexpectedly encountered another formidable lesser demon lord—the Slaughter Demon Lord—and his demon army.

　As the only lesser demon lord among the five who launched the offensive against the necromancer's territory to have reached the demigod realm, Zephyr is determined to obtain the position of demon lord of the 406th layer of the abyss.

　Therefore, Zefer had no intention of forming an alliance with the demon army that was slaughtering the demon lord and his commander.

　Only one thought burned in His mind—to defeat the Demon Lord of Slaughter, bring his demon army under His command, and remove another powerful obstacle on His path to the top.

　On the vast, desolate plains in the central part of the necromancer's territory, the demon legions of two lesser demon lords clashed fiercely.

　Various powerful spell-like abilities intertwined and collided in the air, creating a scene resembling an apocalyptic catastrophe that shocked every living being who witnessed this battlefield.

　Just as the demon legions of both sides were embroiled in a brutal and protracted battle, two powerful lesser demon lords personally challenged each other.

　Although the Demon Lord of Slaughter is slightly inferior to the Demon Lord of Judgment, Zephyr, in the hierarchy of the extraordinary, he has managed to maintain his position as a lesser demon lord. Naturally, he possesses many secret techniques and methods, which allow him to unleash astonishing combat power comparable to that of a demigod.

　With this demigod-level power, even if he is not Zefer's match, the Slaughter Demon Lord is enough to restrain the Soul Judge Demon Lord and ensure that He cannot attack his demon legion at will.

　This has become a delicate balance and the norm among the several lesser demon lords.

　If they truly had an absolute chance of winning, given the bloodthirsty and warlike nature of the Tanarari demons, they wouldn't have waited for the necromancers to arrive; they would have already eagerly launched a series of bloody and brutal battles.

　Moros could not possibly be unaware of the fierce battle between the Soul Lord Zephyr and the Slaughter Lord, as well as the brutal fighting between the demon legions under the command of the two lesser demon lords.

　The intelligence network formed by vengeful spirits is undoubtedly highly efficient.

　As soon as the battle broke out, he quickly grasped the situation of the infighting between the two lesser demon lords who had invaded his territory.

　However, the necromancer had no time to spare at this moment.

　The reason was simple: while the Soul Lord Zephyr was locked in fierce combat with the Slaughter Lord, two other lesser demon lords led their respective demon legions and appeared on either side of the undead legions that were clearing the battlefield.

　Thanks to the obstruction of the undead legion, and the powerful deterrent effect brought by Moros's recent victory in annihilating the Temptress Lord, the two lesser demon lords did not regard each other as their primary target.

　Although their fundamental interests—the struggle for the position of demon lord—prevented them from joining forces, the two lesser demon lords tacitly ordered their demon armies to launch a fierce attack on the undead legion, which had just endured a brutal bloodbath.

　At the same time, the two lesser demon lords also turned their attention to Moros.

　Clearly, they were attempting to take advantage of the rare opportunity presented by the necromancer's recent battle and the fact that his magic had not yet fully recovered, to join forces and annihilate this powerful demigod-level spellcaster in one fell swoop.

　Despite the sudden double attack, Moros showed no sign of panic.

　This composure was not unfounded, but stemmed from his deep-seated, calm assessment of the true strength of the two lesser demon lords before him—he did not believe they truly possessed the ability to threaten him.

　At this moment, the two lesser demon lords standing in front of Moros were both formidable figures.

　One of them was a minor demon lord from the Balrog, a high-ranking demon race renowned throughout the entire Abyss.

　He wielded a decapitation sword and a flaming whip that shone with dazzling magical light, and his entire body exuded a terrifyingly powerful aura.

　The other lesser demon lord is the relatively rare four-armed bat demon lord.

　The Four-Armed Bat Demon is a Tanar'ari demon with black skin and bat wings.

　They typically have four arms and a long, thin tail, and fangs on their faces.

　These demons often serve as assassins or messengers, attending to the demon lords and managing their distant territories on their behalf.

　"It seems my break is over."

　Muttering to himself, Moros was at his fastest speed

　He adjusted his speed and prepared for this crucial battle that would determine whether he could establish a firm foothold in the 406th layer of the abyss.

　However, that's what they say.

　But in reality, the necromancer was quite relaxed.

　He had already made up his mind; he decided to use his precious soul reserves to recreate the glory of his battle against the six-armed serpent demon lord, Modisty.

　Using the power of the legendary spells [Soul Torrent] and [Soul Circulation], bury these two lesser demon lords who tried to take advantage of the chaos.

Chapter 609 The Impact of the Great War

　The world is always in a state of dynamic development.

　A butterfly flapping its wings in the Amazon rainforest of South America could potentially cause a tornado in Texas two weeks later.

　The war, instigated by the Soul Lord Zephyr and aimed at redrawing the map of necromancer territories, has far exceeded the scope of Moros and the five lesser demon lords, including Zephyr, who directly participated in the war.

　In fact, the entire 406th Abyss Layer trembled under the shadow of this war.

　It could even be said that the shock effect of this war has broken through the boundaries of the 406th Abyss Layer, successfully attracting attention from other Abyss Layers and even more distant planes.

　As is widely known, the demon lords are the undisputed rulers of their respective abyssal layers, and their status symbolizes absolute control over the entire abyssal layer.

　This means that any lesser demon lord who wants to ascend to the supreme throne must go through a series of extremely brutal competitions and defeat all rivals who are eyeing the dominion of their respective abyss layer before they can achieve complete control over that abyss layer.

　The complexity of the situation is particularly pronounced in the 406th layer of the abyss.

　Besides the four lesser demon lords currently engaged in fierce combat—the necromancer, the Soul Judge, and the Slaughter Demon Lord—there are twelve other powerful lesser demon lords closely monitoring the progress of the battle, ready to take action at any moment.

　However, since these bystanders' territories did not directly border the necromancers' territories, they did not participate in the struggle for Moros's territory at the beginning of the war.

　But as time went on, the lesser demon lords whose territories bordered those of five lesser demon lords, including the Soulbreaker Lord Zephyr, who were leading demon legions to invade the necromancer's territory, could no longer remain silent.

　This great war, instigated by the Soul-Slaying Demon Lord, has cruelly claimed the life of a lesser demon lord—the Temptress Demon Lord.

　Realizing that this war might indeed be an excellent opportunity to weaken or even eliminate their rivals, the lesser demon lords entrenched in other areas of the 406th layer of the abyss were instantly swept up in a frenzy of excitement and became extremely agitated.

　They assembled their respective demon legions and launched a fierce attack on the territories of neighboring lesser demon lords.

　The territory of the Temptress Lord, in particular, became a key target of the attack.

　However, not all the territories of lesser demon lords bordered the territory of the seductive demon lord who had fallen to the necromancer's staff.

　In order to avoid falling behind in the competition for the position of Demon Lord of the 406th Abyss Layer, the lesser Demon Lords whose territories do not border the territory of the Temptress Lord are also doing everything they can to hinder their neighbors.

　Even if they really need to lead their demon legions into battle, they will never allow their neighboring forces to devour the territory of the Temptress Lord and thus greatly increase their strength.

　Amid this tense situation, the entire 406th layer of the abyss was plunged into chaos and turmoil.

　The intrigue, deception, and blatant armed conflict among lesser demon lords weave together a complex and unpredictable picture of power struggles.

　Some lesser demon lords chose to secretly form alliances, attempting to use their combined power to balance other powerful competitors and ensure their own invincibility in this chaos.

　They secretly dispatched messengers to travel between the various territories, delivering secret messages of conspiracy and betrayal, making the situation in the entire Abyss increasingly unpredictable and elusive.

　Other lesser demon lords firmly believe that force is the ultimate determinant of everything.

　Without hesitation, they led their demon legions to invade the territory of the lesser demon lords that bordered their own, launching a frenzied massacre and plunder, all in an effort to gain even the slightest advantage in the future showdown.

　Besides the lesser demon lords who are scheming and fighting tooth and nail for the throne of the demon lord of the 406th abyss layer, there are also eyes in other abyss layers far away from the 406th layer, either secretly watching or openly observing this war that is sweeping across the entire abyss layer.

　The 570th floor of the Bottomless Abyss, the territory of the Demon Lord, Succubus Queen, Mechanshute, Shendilaville.

　This place is so out of place compared to the other layers of the Abyss.

　Shendilaville is nothing like the harsh environment most mortals imagine other abyssal realms to be, full of...

　It is full of highly toxic substances, acid rain, and various deadly dangers.

　On the contrary, this place is more like a paradise or a heavenly mountain.

　The verdant earth and majestic mountains complement each other, and the bountiful ocean is tinged with a romantic red by the eternal sunset.

　It is like the most beautiful and joyful place praised by poets, or the most artistic and perfect painting in the hearts of painters.

　Anyone who arrives in Schendiraville after a brutal battle and overcoming numerous hardships will be immediately captivated by its beauty and experience an unprecedented sense of comfort and relaxation.

　Especially those succubi, pleasure demons, and harbingers dressed in revealing and sexy attire, as well as numerous young and beautiful mixed-race demons, believers, and supplicants, will use the softest voices and passionate lips to make every visitor forget worldly troubles and indulge in unrestrained venting and debauchery.

　Of course, all of this was just a trap set by the succubus queen to confuse visitors, causing them to lower their guard unintentionally and ultimately become her captives and playthings.

　Generally speaking, only those mortals who have passed the personal "test" of these demons, possessing the strongest bodies, most outstanding abilities, and most perverse desires, are qualified to be presented to Mechanost for his enjoyment.

　However, at this moment, the succubus queen was not indulging in the "tribute" carefully selected by her subordinates.

　The most powerful succubus in the bottomless abyss was listening intently to the report from one of her most trusted subordinates—a Radiant Sister.

　"Mother, that's roughly the situation on the 406th floor. How should we deal with it?"

　"Interesting, really interesting."

　Leaning back on a throne inlaid with countless jewels, the succubus queen with long, beautiful black hair that reached her waist parted her lips slightly.

　"It seems that those guys on the 406th floor are even more useless than I thought."

　She stretched out her slender fingers and gently touched a flower that was blooming exceptionally beautifully beside her.

　"However, this might be an opportunity for me."

　Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Sister Radiant's eyes, as if she understood what Mechanic was thinking.

　"What Mother means is..."

　"Hmph, chaos and turmoil always breed opportunities for change."

　"Yes, I understand. It's time for one of our sisters to also ascend to the throne of the Demon Lord."

Chapter 610 The Defeated Demon Legion

　Not only the succubus queen who ruled Shendilaville, but also many demon lords in the bottomless abyss turned their attention to the grand war that shook the entire 406th layer of the abyss.

　This is ultimately a precious opportunity that could give birth to a new generation of demon lords, and even the high and mighty demon lords cannot ignore it.

　Moreover, many of the lesser demon lords who occupy a corner of the 406th layer of the abyss have already established intricate connections with other lesser demon lords in the abyss, and even higher-ranking demon lords.

　Therefore, upon keenly sensing that the war was showing signs of giving rise to a new demon lord, the lesser demon lords who had joined the battle did not hesitate to do everything in their power and mobilize all available resources.

　They made generous promises to lesser demon lords and even noble demon lords dwelling in other abyssal planes, just to win their support.

　In the minds of these fiercely fighting lesser demon lords, as long as they can ascend to the throne of the demon lord of the 406th layer of the abyss, all their efforts will be rewarded a thousandfold.

　As the intensity of the war continued to escalate, the sky above the 406th Abyss Layer was obscured by thick black smoke and raging flames, and the earth trembled violently under the continuous bombardment of countless powerful spells, as if even the Abyss Layer itself was emitting a deep and mournful wail.

　Amidst this chaos and destruction, every participant fought with all their might, hoping to emerge victorious in this decisive battle.

　The 406th layer of the Abyss, the territory of the Necromancer, the western plain battlefield.

　As the torrent of dark souls surged forth, the four-armed bat demon lord with black skin and bat wings ultimately could not escape the judgment of fate and suddenly perished on the battlefield.

　Before he could imprison His soul, Moros immediately detonated the legendary spell that was constantly active on his body—[Soul Circulation].

　In an instant, the souls of hundreds of thousands of demons converged amidst wails, forming an unparalleled and terrifying shockwave. It swept across every corner of the battlefield indiscriminately, ruthlessly pushing and hurling everything, from the arrogant and domineering Balor Flame Demon Lord to the humble and insignificant stones and grains of sand.

　Faced with such a terrifying impact, even a powerful being like the Balor Flame Demon Lord could not stabilize his body.

　What made him even more desperate was that, because the necromancer's spells had already sealed off this battlefield space, this Balor Balrog, who once reigned supreme in the 406th Abyss Layer, was now unable to cast [Higher Teleportation] and could only helplessly be violently thrown away by this sudden impact.

　Before it could flap its enormous demonic wings to balance its swaying posture, a pair of wings covered in sharp fangs and a ferocious appearance appeared.

　The terrifying, enormous dragon's jaws swiftly and unexpectedly lunged at Him.

　Death itself!

　This dragon of death, summoned by legendary magic, possesses such immense power that it is truly a demigod, and should not be underestimated.

　In the previous fierce battle, it had already caused the Balor Flame Demon Lord and the Four-Armed Bat Demon Lord a great deal of trouble, leaving them exhausted and overwhelmed.

　At this moment, under the will of the necromancer, the dragon of death once again seized that fleeting, perfect opportunity, determined to devour the Balor Firelord in one fell swoop.

　However, how could Balor Balrog Lord, who had managed to secure his position as a lesser demon lord, be so easily defeated?

　In that life-or-death moment, a resolute madness flashed in the eyes of the Balor Balrog Lord.

　"Damn crawler! Don't even think about defeating me!"

　Faced with the dragon of death's sharp fangs, capable of piercing its skin as if it were enchanted armor, the Balor Balrog Lord did not choose to sit idly by and wait for his death.

　He let out a roar that resounded through the heavens, and his body suddenly burst forth with dazzling, intense light.

　[Firestorm]!

　As the Balrog Lord roared, the surrounding air ignited.

　Countless blazing fire elements converged into an extremely violent storm, carrying world-destroying power, and swept across the entire battlefield.
