Since Daniel Chris had conceded, Aier naturally wouldn't intentionally embarrass him. The chaotic gravity within the Black Coffin began to dissipate, and the black curtain of light surrounding them gradually faded away.
Once the Black Coffin vanished, the spectators finally realized that at this moment, only Daniel Chris's head remained, held firmly in Aier's hands. The look of shock in his eyes had yet to fade.
"This, how is this possible?"
"The Prefect actually lost just like that..."
"What kind of move was that?"
"Was it an innate divine ability or a special technique?"
"To think it was just one move..."
"Is Lord Aier really this strong?"
For a moment, everyone watching the battle between Aier and Daniel Chris fell into a stunned silence.
Lord Aier is very strong!
This was a fact everyone had known for the past few days.
However, Lord Daniel Chris had held the position of Prefect of Liang'an Prefecture for countless years, and his reputation had been built upon the defeat of countless powerful challengers.
In everyone's estimation, even if Lord Daniel Chris were slightly inferior to Lord Aier, he shouldn't have been defeated by him so quickly.
And one could tell from the scene of the battle between Lord Daniel and Lord Aier earlier.
The domain that had left all previous challengers helpless had been directly shattered by Lord Daniel.
But who could have imagined that in the very next moment, Lord Aier would use that strange move and directly defeat Lord Daniel Chris?
Aier released his grip, and Daniel Chris controlled his head to hover, immediately using divine power to restore his body.
"Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle, gurgle..."
In an instant, Daniel Chris's divine body was completely restored. If not for the fact that his complexion still appeared slightly pale, no one would have been able to imagine the scene of his head being held in Aier's palms.
"I have lost!"
"I am thoroughly convinced!"
Daniel Chris wore a complex expression.
Aier was not only stronger than him, but he even possessed a Material Defense Overgod Artifact. Even if his strongest attack had struck Aier, it would have been impossible to cause even the slightest bit of damage.
From the very beginning, he hadn't had the slightest chance of winning!
"From now on, you are the Prefect of Liang'an Prefecture!"
After saying this, Daniel Chris erupted with divine power, his entire body transforming into a cyan rainbow as he vanished from everyone's sight.
"Congratulations to Lord Aier!"
"Has Lord Aier become the new Prefect of Liang'an Prefecture?"
Looking at Aier above the Challenge Arena, the surrounding spectators still felt as if they were in a dream.
This was just too fast!
From the moment Lord Aier first appeared on the Challenge Arena to the successful defeat of the former Prefect, Lord Daniel Chris, only a dozen days had passed.
In Hell, a Supreme Plane where a single period of seclusion could last tens or hundreds of thousands of years, a dozen days was no different from the blink of an eye.
Even among those who had come to watch Aier's battles, a small portion had been his audience since his very first fight.
Others were those who had been defeated by Aier.
As Aier's reputation grew and his strength increased, those who had survived at his hands felt their faces glowing with pride.
In fact, this would become the most glorious entry on their resumes for the rest of their lives.
Just kidding, they had survived at the hands of Lord Aier, the Prefect of Liang'an Prefecture!
Once these words were spoken, others would have to look at them with newfound respect.
After all, even on the arena, Lord Aier was someone who had accepted their "gifts."
Nowadays, many people wanted to send gifts to Lord Aier, but they probably couldn't even find a way to do so!
"Lord Prefect."
The referee of the arena finally approached Aier, drenched in sweat, and bowed to him.
At this moment, the referee felt incredibly fortunate that he hadn't made things difficult for Aier before; otherwise, now that Aier had become the Prefect of Liang'an Prefecture, he would have directly become his immediate superior.
"Mm, thank you for your hard work."
"Let's go, take me to the Prefectural Mansion to get acquainted."
"Yes, Lord Aier!"
Without any surprises, Aier quickly took over the management of Liang'an Prefecture.
In an extraordinary world where supreme power belongs to the individual, the strength possessed by the strong is enough to smooth over all dissent.
Following this, a portion of Daniel Chris's followers left Liang'an Prefecture along with him.
However, these vacancies were quickly filled by new people.
After meeting with the commander of the Liang'an Prefecture Army and the various battalion captains, Aier handed the affairs of Liang'an Prefecture over to Eric to manage and immediately entered the cultivation chamber for seclusion.
Although Aier had not appeared again since becoming the Prefect of Liang'an Prefecture, the legends belonging to Aier had only just begun to circulate throughout Hell.
"Hiss..."
In Qinggang City, Olga and his son West, sitting in a tavern, exchanged glances and both drew a sharp breath.
They could never have imagined that in just a few hundred years, Aier would have actually become the Prefect of Liang'an Prefecture.
"Father, it is fortunate that you had the foresight."
"Otherwise..."
West sent a voice transmission to Olga, his words revealing a trembling sense of terror.
Just how bold had he been back then to even consider intercepting and killing Aier?
It was fortunate that his father had not taken action; otherwise, how could the two of them still be alive?
If West had previously held some resentment toward his father for abandoning the Crimson Blood Tribe and fleeing in secret, his admiration for his father now was boundless.
Thinking about it, once more news about Aier spread, he and his father would inevitably be targeted by those looking to curry favor with Aier.
When that time came, the fate of their family would certainly not be a pleasant one.
"Shut up, you fool!"
A flash of anger crossed Olga's face. "How many times have I told you, even when using divine sense transmission, do not expose yourself."
"Qinggang City is a medium-sized city, and there is no shortage of experts at the level of Five-Star or Six-Star Fiends here. If our identities are exposed, we will truly be nearing our deaths!"
"After all, the Inkstone we have is not enough for us to live in Qinggang City indefinitely; I need to frequently go out and perform Fiend Missions to earn Inkstone."
"As for you, you are not allowed to leave the city until you become a High-God."
"I understand, Father."
Although he had been scolded by his father, West felt no dissatisfaction.
After all, for a long time to come, he would need the Inkstone his father earned from Fiend Missions to continue living in the city.
If he were to annoy his father and end up being abandoned to flee on his own, there would be nothing he could do.
Ordinary people like Olga only knew that Aier had defeated the Prefect of Liang'an Prefecture and become the new Prefect.
However, some experts who had connections with Daniel Chris knew much more.
