God-level Expert of the Material Plane
More than 10,000 years ago, Andres had Claude research how to activate the Azure Dragon Bloodline within Gaisreisen.
This was related to whether he could complete Riding's Binding Quest, so he naturally attached great importance to it and would inquire about the progress from time to time.
To facilitate their research, Claude's God Clone and Riding returned to the Skyrite Mountains have been conducting research there ever since.
"My lord, we have made some progress, but it is still uncertain when we will succeed," Claude said truthfully.
Andres nodded. "Please take good care of me. Don't hesitate to ask if you need anything."
"Thank you for your support, sir," Claude said respectfully.
"Andres, speaking of the Four Divine Beasts Family of the Skyrite Mountains, are we really going to let them develop unchecked?" Cilia suddenly frowned.
Andres understood Cilia's meaning. In recent years, the power of the Four Divine Beasts Family has been expanding wildly, and now it has spread all over the Blood Peak Continent and the Bifu Continent. Many people under Andres's command are somewhat dissatisfied with this.
After all, Blood Peak Continent and Bifu Continent are Andres's territories, and many of his subordinates do not want to see other forces grow stronger.
However, before completing the Binding Quest of the Four Divine Beasts, Andres didn't want to break ties with Riding and the others, so he ignored them.
Moreover, Andres himself did not value the so-called sphere of influence very much. He built Iron Saber Castle only to prepare for seizing the Sovereign Spark.
"It's alright, ignore them. As long as they don't affect the development of Iron Saber Castle, let them be," Andres said.
"But—" Cilia wanted to say something more.
Andres waved his hand to stop her. "Cilia, you don't need to worry. In the end, what determines everything is not the size of the power, but the peak combat strength. As long as the strength is strong enough, even one person can destroy any power. Don't worry, as long as I don't fall, Iron Saber Castle will not decline."
Cilia sighed after hearing Andres's words and said nothing more.
Bifu Continent, Green Spirit Great Marsh.
After Pash and the others left, the castle where the Teleportation Array was located was empty.
Even so, for a long time, no one dared to approach.
The God-level expert living in the Great Marsh were unaware of what had happened. They did not know why Pash had left, and dared not occupy the castle without authorization, for fear of angering Pash.
Some thought something terrible had happened in the castle, which Pash was unable to resolve and had no choice but to flee.
Various speculations and conflicting opinions arose.
Later, as time passed, the surrounding God-level expert noticed that Pash and the others had not returned, and the castle was very peaceful, not showing any signs of danger, so they began to have some designs on it.
Initially, it was some Saint Domain and Demigod who ventured into the castle.
They were all creatures living at the bottom of the Great Marsh, their lives hanging by a thread, and they could be killed at any moment. After learning that Pash and the others had left, they were willing to risk coming to the castle in search of a chance to survive.
They successfully located the Teleportation Array and activated Teleportation Array to travel to the Material Plane, escaping the cruel Hell.
As more and more people use the Teleportation Array, some powerful individuals no longer hesitate and begin to compete for it.
The Teleportation Array has now been occupied by a band of robbers. This band of robbers is quite powerful, with more than a dozen ordinary Highgod among them, and the strongest of them is a Five-star Demon- level expert.
After obtaining the Teleportation Array, they couldn't wait to use Teleportation Array to travel to the Material Plane and collect treasures such as Soul Essence.
On this day, the Teleportation Array emitted a hazy light.
The bandits guarding the Teleportation Array immediately perked up.
"It's the Material Plane! Someone has been teleported from the Material Plane!"
"Are our people back? Or are they natives of the Material Plane?"
Everyone was looking at the Teleportation Array, their expressions relatively relaxed.
Over the years, some beings from Material Plane have also been transported here, but their strength is generally average, so they are not nervous.
As the light gradually faded, two figures appeared in the Teleportation Array —one fat and one thin, two men.
The fat man was round and chubby, with his facial features and the flesh on his face squeezed together, making him almost indistinguishable from other people.
The Skinny's body was as thin as a bamboo pole, his face was long and thin, and he looked as if a gust of wind could blow him away.
The two stood in the Teleportation Array, curiously looking around and occasionally sensing something; they were clearly newcomers who had just arrived in Hell from the Material Plane.
However, the bandits beside the Teleportation Array dared not be careless at all, and all looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
These bandits were all Middle God, but they discovered that they couldn't even sense the strength of the two men, one fat and one thin. There was only one explanation: these two were Highgod gods.
It is very rare for Highgod to appear in Material Plane, let alone two at once.
"Go and inform the leader immediately!" The leader of these bandits quickly whispered to his companion.
The man didn't dare to delay and left immediately.
Two men, one fat and one thin, emerged from the Teleportation Array and walked towards the bandits standing nearby.
"Where is this place?" the fat man asked indifferently. With each step he took, his flesh trembled violently, like a mountain of flesh.
"My lords, this is Hell. Our leader will be here shortly. Please wait a moment while you speak with him." The Middle God who was the leader of the bandits immediately bowed and said.
"Wait? No need, I can just look at your soul." The fat man vanished instantly, reappearing in front of the Middle God.
The fat man reached out and pressed his hand on the head of the Middle God. The Middle God's eyes immediately lost their luster, and he became like a puppet.
"How did it go, Fatty? Did you succeed?" The Skinny slowly walked up to the fat guy.
The fat man turned and glared at the Skinny, saying irritably, "Did it work? My Death Law is at least Highgod, how could I fail to cast 'Soul Bewilderment' on a Middle God?"
"Soul Bewilderment?"
Upon hearing those two words, the other bandits' expressions changed drastically, and they all retreated far away.
Soul Bewilderment is a special technique within the Death Law, which allows one to directly control another's soul and view their memories.
However, to use the Bewitching Soul Bewilderment, there must be a significant difference in strength.
"Now that you've succeeded, why don't you hurry up and tell us? What's the situation here?" the Skinny said impatiently.
"Why should I tell you? If you're so capable, go find someone to cast Soul Bewilderment on you yourself," the fat man said, scoffing.
The Skinny immediately glared at him. "I don't know the Death Law, how can I cast Soul Bewilderment?"
"What does that have to do with me?"
The two, one fat and one thin, started arguing.
Just then—
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"
A dozen figures flashed by as the Highgod of this bandit group arrived. The leader of them was their chief, a powerful Five-star Demon.
