I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Chapter 275: Chapter 267 Demon Prince Demogorgon

Demon Prince Demogorgon is one of the most powerful Demon Lords in the Bottomless Abyss.

His domain lies in the 88th layer of the Bottomless Abyss, Saltwater Swamp, also known as the Demon Stomach, Bottomless Cave.

Saltwater Swamp is a realm of briny water and rocky protrusions, where flying demons make their nests on these stones. Demonic fish that dwell on the bottom, deep-sea squids, and demon rays wage wars in the deep sea, but all creatures must bow before the strength of Demogorgon.

Above the waters of the Abyss stand two curved towers, both topped with skull-like spires. Here, Demogorgon utilizes his inconceivable power in an attempt to coax the Bottomless Abyss into revealing its secrets. Most of his palace extends underwater, accumulating his strength in an eternally sunless, ice-cold dark cave, rarely involving himself directly in blood battles. His intentions are far more profound than this.

The biggest difference between Demogorgon and other lords is that he is not controlled by the consciousness of the Abyss; instead, he grows stronger by leveraging the power of the Abyss,

Meanwhile, he is also one of the most active Demon Lords in the Gaia Main World, luring countless people into fallen death, and no one knows what the purpose of Demogorgon really is.

But Lis knew, in version 4.0, “World Tree Crisis”, the World Tree Yggdrasil became corrupted by the power of the Abyss, and the fall of the Elf God System’s Main God, the Elf Creator, Guardian, and Ruler Correlon Larysian, officially started the climax of the era of chaos.

And the instigator of all these was this Demon Prince Demogorgon.

No one knows what actually happened in between.

Why would Correlon, an Elf Main God with strong divine powers, fall?

How could the power of the Abyss invade the core of the Gaia World?

What, long term, is Demogorgon’s goal?

All these secrets had not been unveiled before Lis’s rebirth.

But Lis could be sure that, during that time, if all the deities of the Gaia World had not united for the first time to resist the invasion of the Abyss, the Gaia Main World might have really fallen into the Bottomless Abyss, becoming the most powerful plane within it.

Perhaps, Demogorgon’s goal was to control the Gaia World after its fall, becoming the true master of the Abyss!

However, those were all still too far from Lis.

Now, Lis was still a long way from reaching the threshold of legend!

Demogorgon’s schemes in the Gaia Main World were numerous, and he stood behind many of the demon invasions on various continents.

Ice Peak City was no different.

Lis prepared to stir up trouble, yet, he wasn’t too worried about attracting the attention of this bigshot.

Not for any particular reason but mainly because this bigshot was involved in so many things in the Gaia World that often his followers used his power to stir up trouble themselves.

And the Demon Envoy, Shaz Wood, had made contact with Duke Ward, stirring up a major incident in Ice Peak City.

But at present, Duke Ward had not officially gone to war with the King, and he was not yet in such a desperate situation that he needed to struggle to death.

Duke Ward had not made up his mind to cooperate with the Demon Envoy.

However… since it hadn’t come to that, I might just give him a push!

After all, by then, if Duke Ward could cooperate with a Demon Envoy, partnering with Death Secret Cult, which seemed much more normal, might not be out of the question, right?

With a smile on his face, Lis spoke in a relaxed tone,

“It seems you still have your doubts, Stran, so we’ll talk next time.”

“I suspect that by the time we meet again, you will need the strength of the Death Secret Cult.”

Stran had not yet reacted when he saw the man in the black robe wave his hand, and suddenly his body plunged into endless darkness.

Whoosh~

Stran Ward abruptly sat up in his bed, looking at the familiar luxurious bedroom and the slumbering seductive woman beside him, his expression extremely grim.

Death Secret Cult?

Moriarty?

Stran rose from his bed and walked over to the window.

Gazing out at the continuous houses beneath the night sky and the distant white Royal Palace, Stran didn’t know why he felt so heavy-hearted.

Could it really come to that step?

Although that man who claimed to be Moriarty seemed rather ostentatious, Stran could feel that this man, just like the Demon Envoy, concealed deep malice.

Stran’s grip on the windowsill became firmer.

Why are these people coming to me one after another?

…

After Lis kicked Stran out of the Dream Space, he casually retracted his control over the space, allowing it to burst and disappear like rootless duckweed.

Leave!

Lis also felt a sense of spiritual fatigue and prepared to leave the Dream World and return to reality.

It was at this moment, not far away in the densely scattered Dream Spaces that resembled stars, a gigantic spherical Dream Space suddenly emerged.

If an ordinary person’s Dream Space were like the stars in the sky, then this Dream Space was like the sun at noon, intense and dazzling.

Lis had only caught a glimpse of it from a distance when he felt as if his eyes were almost scorched by the light radiating from this Dream Space.

Damn it!

There’s a big shot!

The thought struck Lis, and he immediately controlled his Spirit Body to flee frantically from the colossal Dream Space.

To Lis’s relief, after that special Dream Space appeared, there were no other movements, but the immense pressure he felt through his Spirit Body did not lessen in the slightest.

Only when Lis had escaped far enough to disengage and return did he glance back at that burning sun, then his figure dissipated in the Dream World.

…

Back in reality, Lis opened his eyes and sat up, wiping the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, and looked through the window at the snow-white castle atop the distant peak.

“That was definitely the Dream Space of a Legendary Strongman!”

“Could it be the ‘Northern Fury,’ Hiti Whitman? It’s very possible, given the scorching and masculine strength.”

“So, even Legendary Strongmen dream. Who knew? It’s said in the ‘Dream Building Skill’ that this is one in a million.”

“But if that’s the case, it confirms that the ‘Northern Fury’ is indeed in Ice Peak City.”

“My previous conjecture was wrong.”

“Then why didn’t this Legendary Strongman take action when the ‘Demon’s Gate’ incident started?”

“Although it wasn’t like the Blood Sacrifice Chaos where a Divine Incarnation descended, Demogorgon didn’t take action personally either, yet the damage to Ice Peak City was significant.”

“Strange…”

Lis’s brows furrowed deeply, his mind incessantly pondering.

The next steps for action must be more Hidden, even more careful!

After all, doing something under a Legendary Strongman’s nose really requires extra caution.

Lis couldn’t ensure that the Legendary hard-headed one would give ‘Judgement Flame’ any face.

So, tomorrow…

Let’s start by giving Duke Ward a little surprise!
