Look the Monarch in the Eye!
The power of the Astral Realm Merchant was like a mountain rising from the ground, piercing the sky, majestic and imposing, pressing down on all directions.
The Grand Witch sensed this immense power and recalled the defeat they had suffered hundreds of years ago.
The Witch reacted in different ways: some looked sorrowful, some were resentful, and some had listless eyes.
The Seventh Witch clenched her fist, but eventually relaxed it.
If you can't beat them, you can't beat them.
Fortunately, the First Witch remained calm.
She stood like a pine tree, unmoved by the wind.
"Lord Ulyxes, that Greater God is the King of the Gods from the Feland World, known Lord of Judgment, named Yuliel!"
"As for how to find him, please allow me to continue."
"Yuliel."
Ulyxes murmured the name and withdrew the overwhelming aura emanating from him.
He smiled again, looking at the First Witch who bowed slightly before him, yet maintained an air of neither servility nor arrogance, a hint of admiration appearing in his eyes.
He pondered in his heart.
"Indeed, calm and composed under pressure, a good subordinate. If that Yuliel is worthless and the loss is difficult to compensate for, taking her away would be a decent way to make amends."
"Given Winona's personality, she would probably sacrifice herself to save everyone."
Thinking about this, Ulyxes's heartache over the destruction of his goods lessened considerably.
For Merchant, profit comes first!
He laughed.
"Tell me, Yuliel, all the information you know."
Winona was unaware that she had caught the eye of the Astral Realm Merchant before her. She smoothed her long hair, nodded, and spoke clearly and logically.
"Ulyxes, please look at that deep blue teleportation gate on the human world. That was the Gate of the Abyss that Jinmos opened when he attacked the Sovitch World."
"Now, it has a different name: the Gate of Hell."
Ulyxes lowered his gaze, his eyes piercing through the many obstacles to see the deep blue Gate of Spacetime to another dimension.
"The Gate of Hell?!"
This was something he hadn't noticed when he came before.
"What's going on? Where does Hell come from?"
Ulyxes was puzzled.
"The Gate of Hell are the Gate of the Abyss, and what was originally the 1002nd Layer of the Abyss is now the Sixth Layer of Hell."
Winona explained patiently.
"That Lord of Judgment pierced through the Seven-Layer Abyss, then tore them apart to create his own Seven-Layer Hell!"
"The Gate of the Abyss naturally became the Gate of Hell!"
Her tone held a hint of shock.
In fact, even now.
The Witch were astonished by Jiang Yuu's feat of breaking through Seven-Layer Abyss and establishing Hell.
The Abyss has always been the one bullying others, but now it's the other way around, having a piece of its flesh cut off.
And that the Lord of Judgment is still alive and well to this day, which is truly astonishing.
Ulyxes' expression also turned serious upon hearing this.
"What an audacious fellow! This might be a bit troublesome."
He thought that this guy named Yuliel was incredibly audacious to dare destroy the goods of an Astral Realm Merchant like himself.
I never expected this guy to have something even bigger up his sleeve.
To carve out the Abyss and build Hell —does this person have the guts of a god?
Winona carefully observed Ulyxes's expression and knew that even though he was an incredibly powerful Astral Realm Merchant, he was shocked by Jiang Yuu's actions. A strange feeling immediately arose in her heart.
It seemed strangely satisfying to see someone stronger than oneself so shocked.
She continued.
"Ulyxes, right now, the Lord of Judgment, Yuliel, is above the Seventh Layer of Hell."
"If you go through that Gate of Hell, you can find him by following the connection to Hell."
"Okay, I understand."
Ulyxes nodded, then suddenly remembered something and asked curiously.
"By the way, why is this Gate of Hell always open here?"
"Uh... this was requested by Lord Yuliel."
Winona said softly, as if she found it difficult to say it aloud.
Ulyxes immediately understood, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
"Hey, what a Lord of Judgment is, waiting for me to come and confront him!"
"Alright, I'll go and meet this guy right now!"
He stood up and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, he turned back and smiled.
"I'm going to Hell, Miss Winona, please look after my golden ship for me."
Having said that, he took a step forward, and the power of time and space manifested, instantly arriving at the Gate of Hell.
He crossed the Gate of Hell directly and arrived at the Sixth Layer, Hell of Vicious Hounds.
At this moment, a squad of Fallen Angel with dark wings guarded the Gate of Hell.
The Fallen Angel saw a richly dressed, golden-crowned, and powerfully auraed middle-aged man enter the Vicious Hound Hell. They immediately drew their swords and stepped forward, asking him sternly.
"Stranger, you are not Witch, why have you come to Hell from here?"
"I have come to see your Greater God, Yuliel."
The elegant middle-aged man smiled.
The Fallen Angel exchanged glances, and the leading Four-Winged Angel spoke.
"Our Lord dwells high on the Paradise Mountain, radiating endless glory; he cannot be seen simply by wishing to."
We can report this to your superiors on your behalf.
The Angel were perceptive; they could tell from the aura that the being before them was beyond their capabilities.
Now, all we need to do is keep him calm; there will naturally be someone in Hell who can deal with him.
However, things did not go as they had expected.
"No need, I'll go find him myself!"
The elegant middle-aged man shook his head, smiled, and vanished from the spot.
The Fallen Angel were stunned at first, but quickly came to their senses.
"Quickly, tell Lord Lucifer!"
On the other hand, after arriving in the Astral Realm region where Hell is located.
Ulyxes easily traversed the spatial and temporal distance of the Hell interface and arrived at the Seventh Layer, Hell of Seven Sins.
He looked up at the deep blue sky, and there he saw, beyond the Seventh Layer of Hell, a Platinum sacred mountain shining with endless Radiance.
As a being of Grand Divine Power, the First Tier of Paradise Mountain was far too conspicuous for him.
"What a confident god!"
They dare to place their own "Divine Kingdom" brazenly above Hell, beside the Endless Abyss.
They disregarded the Supreme beings of the Endless Abyss!
Ulyxes no longer knew how to describe this god.
Confidence versus arrogance—it's just a matter of one word.
But the gravity in his heart only increased!
He continued to look upwards until he saw a radiant White Gold Divine Throne and a divine Monarch sitting on Divine Throne with his eyes closed!
Just then...
The silver-haired Monarch on the Divine Throne suddenly opened his deep, boundless purple eyes, lowered them, and an aura of Holiness majesty surged forth as he met Ulyxes's gaze!
Ulyxes felt an oppressive force, like an inverted galaxy, descending from the heavens, forcing him to bow down!
"Arrogant!"
He snorted, and his aura of unparalleled power, capable of endlessly rotating through time and space and dominating all realms, rose fiercely in this Hell world, pushing forward in the direction of the colliding gazes without yielding!
As the gazes of these two powerful beings clashed, the Void began to tremble, and neither side gained the upper hand for a long time.
The overwhelming auras of both sides continued to rise and intensify, seemingly about to burst the heavens and earth, causing the Devil in this layer of Hell to feel immense pressure and fear, and they all knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.
As time goes by.
Just when the creatures of Hell thought this scene would continue for a long time.
The Astral Realm Merchant, standing on the ground, chuckled and took the lead, stepping into the air. His domineering and powerful voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth, echoing in all directions.
"Yuliel, I've come to collect my debt!"
