Demon Overlord-Electrolux!
The power of Divine Consciousness, like an Formless giant hand, gripped the frame of the Demon Gate and violently tore it apart to both sides.
The barrier of dimensional power had absolutely no effect.
The spatial passage connecting to the Demon Plane expanded at a visible speed, from three zhang to five zhang, from five zhang to ten zhang—the darkness behind the door was no longer calm, but surging and boiling, as if some enormous creature was awakening from within.
Under the Demon Empress's watchful gaze, the darkness within the door suddenly parted, and a massive army of demons, including Flying Demon, Demon Human, and Hellhound, marched out in orderly formation.
They walked out silently, silently lined up in front of the door, like a black ocean that was spreading.
One hundred, five hundred, one thousand... three thousand.
The demon army poured out of the gate and quickly occupied the entire rocky hill. They were arranged according to some ancient and strict military organization, with vanguard, center, flanks, and rearguard, with clear division of labor and orderly formation.
Behind the Demon Empress, the Titled Douluo of the Holy Spirit Cult who arrived one after another watched this scene with slightly furious expressions.
Although there were only three thousand, judging from their auras, these demons were at least Soul Emperor, and there were also about ten Titled Douluo. The Titled Douluo of the Holy Spirit Cult certainly did not dare to underestimate them.
Some people quietly gripped their Soul Tool, some were assessing retreat routes, and others whispered to the Demon Empress whether reinforcements were needed.
The Demon Empress did not answer, but stared at the gate of light, his gaze growing increasingly profound.
What they didn't know was that this was a new army that Alba had formed by gathering remnants of defeated forces from various parts of the Demon Plane during this period.
Although Huo Yuhao deliberately left behind his three thousand elite troops to serve as a facade, Alba, as a subordinate, clearly had a lot of initiative and took the initiative to help Old Yi improve his status and prestige.
Judging from the current situation, the results seem to be quite good.
After the three thousand elite soldiers left, even heavier footsteps came from inside the door.
Twelve powerful figures, comparable to Super Douluo, stepped forward one after another. Some were Great Demon over ten meters tall with enormous wings on their backs, while others were Three-Headed Hellhound and Four-Armed Demon.
Faced with these powerful figures, the expressions of the Holy Spirit Cult's experts turned completely grim.
But what shocked them even more was yet to come.
The darkness inside the door suddenly thickened, as if some indescribable force was squeezing the boundaries of space.
Then a figure thirty meters tall emerged from the portal, none other than the Demon Lord Alba.
It stepped out of the Demon Gate, its light sweeping over the army and the twelve Great Demon, nodding slightly as if inspecting its own forces. Then, it turned around, knelt on one knee, faced inward, and lowered its noble head.
The twelve Great Demon then knelt down.
The three thousand demons immediately knelt down.
Across the rocky hills, a dense mass of people knelt in silence. The night wind blew, and only the fluttering of the battle flags and the sudden, rapid heartbeats of the Holy Spirit Cult members could be heard.
Even though he had guessed something the moment he saw the Divine Consciousness, the Demon Empress's heart still sank when he saw this scene.
For a Quasi-God, who is like a monarch, to adopt such a respectful posture, it cannot be a mere Divine Power who has reached the Divine Origin Realm. The Demon Plane truly possesses God Rank powerhouses!
With this in mind, the Demon Empress did not hesitate and quickly contacted the Ghost Emperor and the God of Slaughter using a secret technique.
The situation was beyond expectations; God Rank powerhouses in the Demon Plane, and this matter was no longer something she could handle alone.
They need to at least show the Demon Plane the strength of their Holy Spirit Cult, otherwise, forget about cooperation, they might end up here today.
As the Demon Empress did these things, the darkness inside the door boiled over completely, as if stirred up from within by an Formless giant hand, churning and roaring, before slowly splitting open to both sides.
An aged yet majestic voice echoed from within the doorway, not loud, yet clearly reaching the ears of every living being present, carrying a sense of aloofness and solitude that seemed to survey all things. "Holding the Sun Moon Empire in my hands and plucking stars from the sky, there is no one like me in this world."
The moment the words fell, the suppression of dimensional power suddenly arrived, and the spatial distortion intensified, but it did not affect the figure slowly emerging from the darkness in the slightest.
The figure that walked out of the door was none other than Electrolux, but his appearance at this moment was completely different from before, though not entirely unrelated.
Now he has an aged face covered with demonic markings, wears a black robe with golden runes flowing through it, and is covered with a white cloak.
To the followers of the Holy Spirit Cult, this person resembled a human. But both the demonic markings and the spectacle before them—three thousand demons kneeling in worship, and twelve Great Demon bowing their heads—all indicated that he was not human, but the ruler of demons!
Electrolux stepped out of the portal, stood still, and calmly swept his gaze over the kneeling demon army before settling on the Demon Lord Alba, who was kneeling on one knee.
"Get up." His voice was soft, yet carried an undeniable authority.
The three thousand demons rose up in response, their movements perfectly synchronized.
Alba also stood up, stepped back half a step behind Electrolux, and stood with his head bowed, respectfully.
Even Yehui, who was standing nearby, moved closer.
Only then did Electrolux turn his gaze to the Demon Empress and the others, his eyes deep, the Laws of Darkness manifesting, his aura as vast and unfathomable as the sea.
The overwhelming aura emanating from the Demon Empress caused him to feel terrifying pressure, even after the communication had just ended.
She dared not be negligent, fearing that this person would kill them directly, and hurriedly said, "I have no intention of being an enemy of the Demon Plane."
"I am aware." Electrolux's aura subsided, and he looked indifferently at the Demon Empress. "I have seen everything through the eyes of my people. You had no intention of stopping the Demon Gate; on the contrary, you seemed to be delighted by it. Otherwise, you would already be dead."
"Speak! What do you want? I will give you the chance to speak!"
The somewhat domineering words made the Demon Empress feel uncomfortable, but he had no choice but to submit.
Their people here are indeed weaker than the opposing side.
Therefore, the Demon Empress didn't waste any words and stated directly. "I am the Demon Empress, the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, and I wish to cooperate with you to jointly plot against the Douluo Continent."
Electrolux frowned. Seeing this, Alba, with keen insight, stepped forward and said coldly, "With your meager strength, you dare to discuss cooperation with the ruler of the Demon Plane? If you're willing to be our servants, then you're quite sensible. Perhaps after we conquer the Douluo Plane, you can become our sovereign here."
"You one"
One of the Titled Douluo of the Holy Spirit Cult couldn't help but glare angrily at Alba.
Even the Demon Empress cast a cold glance at Alba.
But Alba remained completely unfazed.
He's got connections now, backed by various deities. Even if a god came, he might not be able to take his life. So what's wrong with being arrogant?
The Demon Empress suppressed her emotions, shifting her gaze from Alba back to Electrolux. She knew that the one truly in charge was the Demon Overlord before her, not that jumping-headed Quasi-God.
Moreover, she was already mentally prepared for this scene after sensing Electrolux's presence earlier.
"Does Your Excellency believe I am not qualified?"
The Demon Empress exuded a vast aura, with the power of the ocean flowing around him, and the power of Divine Spark seemed to be manifesting.
Seeing this, Old Yi nodded slightly. "Not bad, but you should understand that you will only be qualified to speak with me once you truly break through to the God Rank. I see that you still have confidence in front of me, so I suppose you have other trump cards. Just show them to me; I have no interest in endless verbal probing."
"Your Excellency has discerning eyes."
The Demon Empress remained silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and summoned the projections of the Ghost Emperor and the God of Slaughter.
The God of Slaughter was naturally there to demonstrate his power.
The reason for summoning the Ghost Emperor is that he is more adept at these kinds of miscellaneous negotiations and exchanges.
As for the other high-ranking Devil Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult, because he represents the Abyss Plane and is now involved in cooperation with another plane, he has been temporarily kicked out of the group chat by the Demon Empress.
When Electrolux saw the projection created by the True God, the God of Slaughter, using his Divine Consciousness, his expression finally changed—at least in the eyes of the Demon Empress.
"I knew there were God Rank powerhouses in the Douluo Plane when someone tried to seal the Fallen Angel, but I never expected to encounter one here."
Upon hearing this, the Ghost Emperor's projection, which had just arrived, instantly had a question resolved in its mind.
When he previously speculated that the Titan Giant Ape helped Yehui solve the problem of the Fallen Angel Martial Soul, he found it strange that a dignified god could not completely solve the problem of this Martial Soul.
Now that we know that gods exist in the Demon Plane, and have heard this from them, everything is clear.
It was precisely because of this deity that the Titan Giant Ape was unable to completely resolve the problem of its Martial Soul!
On the other side, the God of Slaughter looked Electrolux up and down, then frowned slightly.
"I never expected that after the disappearance of the Divine Realm, someone like you would appear in the mortal world so quickly—I am the God of Slaughter, Xiupu Ruosi. May I ask your name?"
Although it's just a projection, he's currently using Divine Consciousness sense to project it, which allows him to see through quite a few things.
And it was precisely because he saw through it all that he understood how terrifying the person before him was.
Electrolux possessed no Divine Power; it was only that his power of Laws had surpassed the normal range, and his Divine Consciousness sense was too overwhelming, which gave the Demon Empress the illusion that he was a god.
However, even if Electrolux is not a god, the God of Slaughter would not dare to underestimate him.
Because Electrolux undoubtedly possesses strength comparable to God Rank, and even the God of Slaughter hadn't seen many with such a foundation before becoming a god, even when he was in the Divine Realm.
In his view, if the Divine Realm still existed, the person before him would probably be capable of creating a feat similar to that of the God of Emotion, establishing a Divine Position with the potential to become God King.
He was able to reach this point despite the pressure from different planes, which makes him a true Exceptional Talents, worthy of the high regard of the God of Slaughter.
"Electrolux." Old Yi didn't hide his name.
He had to conceal his appearance because he Mingdu, and now that he was playing the role of the Demon Overlord, he needed to have some characteristics of the demon race. He had no choice but to do so.
However, apart from his closest relatives, no one else knew his name. After all, he was a hidden force of the Spirit Pagoda, and his information was kept so confidential that even the tower master did not know.
Those involved in Yehui's project only knew to call him "Old Yi," without needing to deliberately find a pseudonym to cover it up.
If anyone can connect him to Huo Yuhao just from his name, it only means that there is a traitor among those in the know.
The God of Slaughter nodded. "You previously thought we weren't qualified to cooperate, but now you probably don't think so anymore."
"Just tell me how you plan to cooperate."
Upon hearing this, the God of Slaughter turned his gaze to the projection of the Ghost Emperor.
He also felt that it was most appropriate to leave the matter of negotiation and cooperation to the Ghost Emperor.
Noticing the gaze, the Ghost Emperor stepped forward, bowed to Electrolux, and said, "What the Demon Plane desires is Life energy. And the Douluo Continent is the region with the richest Life energy in our Douluo Plane. Our Holy Spirit Cult and the forces on the Douluo Continent —the Douluo Federation— are our greatest enemies, and eliminating them is the goal of our Holy Spirit Cult."
He looked up, his face gleaming in the sunlight.
"But the Federation is not weak. You must have dealt with the Federation before. There are also gods there. Although the Holy Spirit Cult is not afraid, having an ally like yourself would undoubtedly increase your chances of victory."
"The Holy Spirit Cult is willing to join forces with you to destroy the Federation. At that time, the Life energy of the Douluo Continent will be yours to harvest. As for other benefits, if you are willing to cooperate, we can discuss them in detail."
The Ghost Emperor had no intention of concealing the strength of the Douluo Federation to trick the Demon Plane the ship. After all, the strength of the Douluo Federation was undeniable, and anyone could easily find out by asking around on the Douluo Continent; there was really no need for such a thing.
"That sounds good. However, the more benefits there are, the greater the risks. I don't have a basis for trust with you, so it would be impulsive to cooperate—"
Old Yi glanced in the direction of the God of Slaughter, then chuckled softly. Just when the Holy Spirit Cult thought he was about to refuse, he suddenly changed his tone. "The Demon Plane, we accept."
You agreed? You agreed!
The powerful figures of the Holy Spirit Cult looked on in disbelief.
No, didn't you say you weren't going to agree? Why did you suddenly change your mind?
"There's no need for that look in your eyes. As I just said, there's no basis for trust between us; the only thing that can unite us is self-interest."
Old Yi's expression gradually turned cold.
"I actually heard about your Holy Spirit Cult from the seed. As people from the Douluo Plane, you betrayed your own plane and attacked the powerful Federation, clearly because you could gain something from it. And once you reach the pinnacle of your plane, your goal is basically the same—to become a god!"
"Putting aside the others, this Demon Empress's aura is already close to God Rank —I can cooperate with you, but only if the Demon Plane is involved in your godhood plan!"
Holy crap, box!
The Ghost Emperor was startled, but upon closer examination, he found it to be quite reasonable.
The Demon Plane doesn't trust the Holy Spirit Cult, so why would they trust Demon Plane God Rank being has suddenly appeared?
Both sides bear the risks of cooperation, yet they still choose to cooperate with the Demon Plane, just to conquer the Douluo Federation? Who would believe that?
But if the goal involves becoming a god, then it's a different story.
Similarly, if the target of the Demon Plane is also related to God Rank, then agreeing to cooperate with them would be understandable.
For some beings below the God Rank, the word "God Rank" is enough to drive people mad.
What the Ghost Emperor couldn't understand was, wasn't this person already a god? Why was he still so concerned about becoming a god?
Unlike the Ghost Emperor, who failed to discern Electrolux's condition, the God of Slaughter already understood.
Although the person before me God Rank strength, he is not a true deity. It is only natural for him to pursue the realm of True God.
Judging from what the other person said, he clearly knew some things about the Douluo Continent.
The Douluo Continent now has many gods and opportunities related to God Rank. Once the other party knows the situation, they will not miss this place where they may become a god.
The Federation's attitude towards the Demon Plane will only be hostile, so the only partner the Demon Plane can cooperate with is the Holy Spirit Cult.
Of course, you can also choose not to cooperate and try it out on your own in the Douluo Continent.
But the consequence of that might be being targeted by both sides simultaneously.
