------------------------------------------------
Marduk Kurios seemed to have suddenly thought of something more important, and turned his head to look at the bat Demon who had just been thrown away by him and was bruised all over, and asked sharply:
"Has the 'insurance mechanism' of the Truce Agreement been triggered? Has Heaven's Gate been permanently closed?"
Since Bruise's death was now a foregone conclusion, it was useless to dwell on it.
And it didn't matter if that dark book · fragment was snatched away.
As long as he found Necrodamus in the future, he could always snatch it back from his hands sooner or later.
So what Marduk Kurios was most concerned about now was whether his plan had succeeded as he wished.
If even this failed, then he would truly have lost both his wife and his army this time!
"My Lord Satan, the insurance mechanism has successfully taken effect. I saw Heaven's Gate permanently close with my own eyes, but…"
The bat Demon's face showed a hint of hesitation, as if he was weighing whether or not to speak the rest of his words.
"Phew… It's good that it worked."
At this, Marduk Kurios finally calmed down completely, and narrowed his eyes slightly as he pressed, "But what? Speak!"
The bat Demon said uneasily, "That… before Heaven's Gate closed, I personally saw Daimon Hellstorm appear at the scene,
and he said something to Remiel, one of the Seven Seraphs, but because the distance was too far, I couldn't hear the content of their discussion."
"Hmm? Such a thing really can't be done without the participation of my 'filial' good Son."
Marduk Kurios's face showed a ferocious look, and he said coldly:
"However, in order to stop my actions, this good-for-nothing actually shamelessly colluded with [Heaven], he really is degenerate!!"
"Good, since he doesn't take me, his father, seriously, then don't blame me for being heartless… This time, I'll take the opportunity to clean up the house!"
Marduk Kurios waved his hand suddenly, using magic to create a huge globe in the center of the hall, and then raised his hand to point at different areas on it, ordering the great Demons:
"All legions will act according to the original plan, landing from the above areas, and must take down Earth in the shortest possible time."
"In addition, no matter which legion encounters my good-for-nothing Son during the operation, they must capture him at all costs… If he dares to resist, then kill him on the spot!!"
"Yes!!"
Soon, only Marduk Kurios and Satana Hellstorm were left in the hall.
"Hehehe, Father, are you really going to attack my brother?"
Satana walked with graceful steps to the huge globe, and then, like a child with a playful heart, she pinched a "Warp bead" with two fingers and held it in front of her eyes, closing one eye and looking back and forth through the colorful sphere.
Marduk Kurios seemed to have long been accustomed to the eccentric behavior of his capricious Daughter, and said with an extremely cold voice:
"Hmph, in the past, no matter what he did, I could forgive him and tolerate him… But from the moment he colluded with [Heaven], he was no longer my Son."
"However, if he is willing to come back and bow his head to admit his mistake, I can still give him another chance."
At this point, he couldn't help but turn his gaze to his Daughter, praising her with a smile:
"Satana, my good Daughter, in fact, I saw it when you were little, that only you can inherit my mantle in the future."
"As long as you are willing, I can perform the Demon bloodline awakening ritual for you at any time…"
"As long as the bloodline in your body successfully revives, you will completely get rid of inferior human nature, and the essence of your soul will also be sublimated, directly advancing from a half-Demon to a Demon Lord level high-level Demon."
"By then, you will have a stronger Demon body and more powerful Demon power. I can let you take over Bruise's position and lead my most elite Flame Legion."
"I believe it won't be long before the prestige of Satana Hellstorm will resonate throughout all Hell Dimensions…"
Just as Marduk Kurios was speaking passionately, the female half-Demon poured a basin of cold Water on him, much to his disappointment.
"I say… Father, you'd better stop wasting your efforts there."
Satana Hellstorm aimed the 'Warp bead' at her Father, pouted, and said with disinterest:
"Although I never considered myself human, I'm not interested in becoming something as ugly as you are."
"I think it's quite good to have both a human body and Demon power like I do now… So no matter how much you try to paint a rosy picture for me, I won't agree."
Marduk Kurios wanted to get angry when he heard this, but in the end, he forcefully held it back and finally sighed helplessly:
"Satana, you can't do this to me… Don't you know that from the moment you two were born, your destiny has been closely linked to this Hell that I possess."
"As the continuation of my life and power, only when you, the Son of Hell, fully return, can I further gain the recognition of the Will of Hell, and thus obtain greater power blessings."
"So… Child, I beg you, come back, help me sit on the Satan Throne!!"
Who would have thought that the female half-Demon would wave her hand dismissively, "Hehe, don't even think about it."
"Hmph, my good Daughter, I will definitely find a way to persuade you," Marduk Kurios said with a cold face.
"Whatever, then I wish you good luck," Satana Hellstorm turned and walked out of the hall.
"Wait a minute, where are you going?"
"Of course I'm leaving here!"
Satana Hellstorm paused slightly, turned her head to look at her Father, and said with a radiant smile, "I chose to stay here at the time just to see if your plan would succeed."
"Now that it has been proven that you failed, I have no interest in continuing to stay here."
"Nonsense, I didn't fail."
Marduk Kurios retorted angrily, "Although Bruise died unexpectedly, my plan succeeded…"
However, the female half-Demon didn't listen to his explanation at all, and said with a playful smile, "No, Father, in my opinion, you have failed, and you have lost completely!"
With that, she swayed her charming figure and gradually disappeared into the magnificent palace.
"What on Earth does that dead girl mean?"
Marduk Kurios keenly sensed a hint of abnormality from his Daughter, but he couldn't quite pinpoint what was wrong.
In the end, he could only let it go.
However.
Just as he was happily waiting for the good news from the front line, a Demon with a panicked face ran over as if fleeing and reported:
"My Lord Satan, this is bad… Several Flame Legions heading to Earth have almost all been ambushed by the Angel Legion and Kamar-Taj, suffering heavy casualties, and several Commanders were killed on the spot.
If this continues, there is a risk of total annihilation, so the Commanders on the front line want to ask you, should we fight, or… retreat?!"
"What did you say?"
Marduk Kurios could hardly believe his ears. The Flame Legion was ambushed by the Angel Legion and Kamar-Taj?
This… How is this possible?
Heaven's Gate isn't permanently closed, is it?
Why would the Angel Legion still appear on Earth?
Wait a minute, Kamar-Taj?
F*ck!!!
It must be those damned mages playing tricks; only they can use the Sling Ring to open interdimensional portals.
But how did these bastards accurately know the Flame Legion's teleportation location?
Huh?
Wait a minute, could it be…
Marduk Kurios suddenly recalled what his Daughter had said before leaving.
It was only then that he belatedly realized what was happening.
So it was his Daughter who was the traitor?
"Did that dead girl leak the landing location?"
"But how did she transmit the message? After all, she only left my sight after the Flame Legion officially invaded Earth."
"Could it be, that bead…"
Marduk Kurios recalled his Daughter's previous strange behavior and quickly pinpointed the suspicious point to the 'Warp bead'.
However, he had no opportunity to verify his guess at the moment.
"Retreat… Tell them all to retreat. There's no point in fighting any longer."
Marduk Kurios, having been betrayed repeatedly, collapsed weakly back onto his throne, saying with a gloomy expression:
"I never thought that my grand plan, which I had schemed for thousands of years, would ultimately be defeated by my own children… Good, this is truly good, you really are my good children!!"
...…
…
New York.
Fifth Avenue.
A fierce battle was currently unfolding in front of the Empire State Building.
A few minutes ago.
A dark red Hell teleportation portal, about a hundred meters high, suddenly appeared less than a hundred meters from the Empire State Building.
Immediately after, a Demon army of the Flame Legion came out of the portal, eating hotpot and singing songs… Oh no, they came out screaming and roaring from the portal.
In the eyes of almost all Demons, weak and incompetent humans have always been nothing more than delicious lambs to be slaughtered.
Most humans would surely scream and flee in terror upon seeing the Demon army, so this time was destined to be a cakewalk.
However.
Who would have thought that the more than ten giant Demon beasts, over fifty meters tall, serving as the vanguard, had just rushed out of the Hell teleportation portal when they were met head-on by forty Thunder Warriors, burly in physique and fully equipped with the most advanced weapons and gear.
Roar—
The Demon beasts let out roars like thunder, and then prepared to swing their giant maces to charge at the "weak" defense line formed by the Thunder Warriors on the opposite side, when they suddenly felt the light above their heads dim sharply.
When they looked up, they saw a giant dark blue fist, as huge as a small meteorite, descending from the sky.
Boom—
The entire ground of Manhattan trembled violently with it.
The more than ten Demon beasts hadn't even figured out what was going on when they were directly smashed into meat paste by King Kong Liangzai's new move developed using the A02 Symbiote—[Fist Bone Meteorite].
And those Demon warriors who followed closely behind the Demon beasts also suffered heavy casualties in this strike.
The Flame Legion suffered a major setback at the very beginning of the battle.
…
prestige points +99, +99, +99…
Detected collectible Demon soul fragments, Warp soul count +1, +1, +1…
Thump thump thump—
King Kong Liangzai's right arm returned to normal, and then he continuously pounded his chest towards the endless stream of Demon army pouring out of the Hell teleportation portal, emitting loud roars like war drums.
Come on, this old man is going to beat a hundred today!!
The battle was about to begin.
Under the blessing of the A02 Symbiote, King Kong Liangzai's own "dual resistance" (physical defense and magic defense) were both raised to an extremely high level.
Unless subjected to high-level Fire magic attacks, ordinary magic attacks and physical attacks were merely a drizzle to him, causing no effective damage whatsoever.
Coupled with the powerful recovery ability and weapon shapeshifting ability granted by the A02 Symbiote…
So from the very beginning of the battle, King Kong Liangzai, like an unshakeable mountain, directly engaged near the Hell teleportation portal and unleashed tons and tons of insane output.
Batch after batch of Demon armies, as soon as they emerged from the portal, before they could even see what the outside World looked like, were directly smashed to death by the incoming giant fists.
This old man doesn't care if you are the Flame Legion, or just some random cat or dog.
In short, Karl's order was to make those things that came out of the Hell teleportation portal… all die here!!
Bang bang bang—
On both sides of King Kong Liangzai, forty Thunder Warriors of the first to fourth phases, armed with high-tech weapons such as High-Frequency Energy Rifles, Pulse Blasters, and dark matter Energy Guns, surrounded and killed the Demon warriors who had luckily escaped King Kong's Iron Fist.
Their positioning was also very particular. Under Frank's command, they adopted a non-dense formation and set up four front and back defense lines in a limited space.
Logan Howlett and Daimon Hellstorm, on the other hand, moved back and forth between the first and fourth defense lines, providing appropriate support.
However, compared to the Son of Hell, who could use Hellfire to effectively kill Demons in his "half-Demon form," the "Twilight Wolf's" battle was clearly much more difficult.
Although his Adamantium Claws, with their unparalleled sharpness, were enough to tear through the Demons' tough skin.
But the number of Demons was simply too great, and the extremely high intensity of the battle quickly exhausted his stamina.
