Chapter 163: Crawl for me
First Abyssal Plane, inside the Demon Emperor's Hall, the battle quickly reached its conclusion.
The sixth demon god was slain, and the Sixth Abyssal Plane shattered, returning to the Tower of Truth. As for his source, it wasn't absorbed by the Supreme Demon God but was instead plundered by the Archdemon.
The thirteenth demon god, looking weary, spoke coldly, "Shadow Nine, don't forget what you promised me!"
Shadow Nine nonchalantly picked at his ear and asked, "Did I?"
The thirteenth demon god replied seriously, "Before Thor becomes a Supreme Being, he cannot enter the Thirteenth Abyssal Plane. You swore this in Maxen's name."
Shadow Nine waved his hand dismissively, "Got it, got it. Look at you, so petty. Would it kill you if Thor visited the Thirteenth Abyssal Plane?"
"It would," the thirteenth demon god affirmed. "I am a Primordial Demon God, born only sixty years ago, and I haven't even harmed a single human. There is no mortal enmity between us."
Listening to the thirteenth demon god, Shadow Nine snorted, "Otherwise, do you think you'd still be alive?"
Before this battle began, Shadow Nine had asked Apollo, [Four or three?].
Apollo had said three.
The demon god who escaped death was not the Archdemon but the thirteenth demon god!
The Archdemon, overlooking the two in the hall, spoke seriously, "Shadow Nine, you can still change your mind. If we join forces, there's an eighty percent chance we can keep the thirteenth demon god here."
Shadow Nine was amused by the Archdemon's words and retorted, "And after killing the thirteenth demon god, you'll kill me next?"
The Archdemon didn't hide his intentions and said frankly, "That's also an option."
The three beings in the hall formed a delicate balance. Shadow Nine and the thirteenth demon god were no match for the Archdemon. Even if they joined forces, they couldn't defeat the Archdemon but could at least save their lives.
If Shadow Nine lost his mind and teamed up with the Archdemon to kill the thirteenth demon god, he certainly wouldn't leave the First Abyssal Plane alive today.
The thirteenth demon god remained silent, retreating to a corner before leaving the First Abyssal Plane.
Shadow Nine didn't linger either. Although the overall situation was settled, there were still many loose ends to tie up. Staying too long in the First Abyssal Plane would also put him at risk.
After Shadow Nine left, the Archdemon slowly descended from his throne and walked over to the sixth demon god's remains. He looked at the corpse with disdain. Dead and still making a mess of the Demon Emperor's Hall, cleaning this up would be a hassle.
Then, the Archdemon squatted down, picked up the body, and with a face full of sorrow, howled at the sky.
All the Abyssal Planes heard a roar simultaneously. It was the Archdemon's roar, "Shadow Nine, thirteenth demon god, you conspired against my good friend! I will never forgive you!" The roar echoed through the remaining ten abysses, clearly heard by every powerhouse.
In the First Abyssal Plane, it even started to rain blood.
Those were the 'tears' the Archdemon shed for the sixth demon god!
...
Second Abyssal Plane.
There would be a battle between the human Supreme Being Apollo and the Supreme Demon
God.
That battle was not far off.
...
The sky was clear, with only one white cloud floating.
Apollo looked beyond the sky, watching the clouds drift. Retracting his gaze, a giant eye
behind Apollo trembled.
The giant eye-the fourth demon god.
Using the projection, Apollo had directly 'invited' him to the ninety-ninth floor of the Tower of Truth, severing his connection to the Fourth Abyssal Plane.
Until the battle was nearing its end, Apollo had forgotten that there was still a demon god left
to kill. Looking at the eye-from the Supreme Demon God-Apollo spoke seriously, "Maybe
you're a... turtle?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Fourth Demon God's aura plummeted, soon dropping to the level of a mundane creature.
A shell, four legs, and a tail. Without any suspense, he turned into a turtle.
The turtle lay on its back, staring at the ceiling, wanting to flip over but unable to do so.
The sky was blue. For some reason, Apollo felt annoyed. It was as if someone kept asking him,
"Who said the human world is the most boring?"
Gregory's question left Apollo puzzled. Why was their human world so interesting, while his own view of the human world was so boring?
He couldn't figure it out, couldn't explain it, couldn't understand it.
Annoyed. Apollo hadn't felt such emotional fluctuations in a long time.
Not even when Ares fought the Supreme Demon God, nor when the potential Supreme Being Thor was born. But Gregory's question left Apollo confused.
Apollo's instructor had once taught him: When you're in a bad mood, go bully some demon gods to vent. It will make you feel much better. Learn to build your happiness on the demon
gods' suffering.
Shadow Nine's words, Apollo always followed. Even if he didn't understand some of them, he
did as told.
Apollo walked forward, flipping the turtle over in the process. The fourth demon god landed on his feet, and from the top of the shell came Apollo's cold, merciless voice, "Crawl for me."
