After Jiang Hao finished speaking, he watched Asmodeus without blinking.
Asmodeus closed his blood-red eyes. His tall figure stood there like a wooden statue.
Had I overplayed it? Jiang Hao's thoughts raced. He rose from his Divine Throne and left his Divine Kingdom.
Without its master's control, the Sealing on the six Devil Lords began to weaken. The chains formed from the Divine Kingdom Rules grew faint and translucent.
The Devil Lords noticed at once. Baal of Avernus, Dispater of Dis, Niglesia of Minauros, Baalzebul of Maladomini, and Mephistopheles of Cania unleashed the power they had gathered, shaking the Divine Kingdom violently.
