With the [Battle God Contract] as a guarantee, the Desolate Lord Pontoriel believed Diorus's words. He stroked his fleshy chin with his webbed claws and asked, "The contract is signed. Tell me, what do you need me to do to share the wizard's treasure with me?"
"It's simple, I need you to help me Intimidation some God Level powerhouses..."
Diorus briefly explained his situation: with the Battle God Contract in place, Pontoriel posed no threat to Him.
Because of the latter's fanatical reverence for the God of Battle, even if the contract is just an ordinary piece of paper, as long as it is signed in the name of the God of Battle, Pontoriel will absolutely abide by it.
After hearing Diorus's words, Pontoriel finally understood why his friend had been missing for 30,000 years—he had been exiled.
"Tibeici, I've heard of him. A powerful Plane Warden, but he mainly operates within the Northern Spirit Empire's surveillance region, so I haven't had a chance to meet him. Otherwise, I could witness his strength firsthand. To be able to banish your King of Ashes, he's worth a fight!" Pontoriel's long tongue swung back and forth, his eyes filled with fighting spirit. As a fanatical follower of the God of Battle, how could he not be warlike?
As for the Northern Spirit Empire's Surveillance District mentioned by Pontoriel, it is a super-large territorial unit that transcends the cosmic domain.
In short, it refers to the sphere of influence of the Northern Spirit Empire.
The Prado Universe System and the Alpha Star Cluster are both within this range, and the highest-leading civilization is the Northern Spirit Empire, one of the super-civilizations.
However, the Northern Spirit Empire holds a transcendent position and generally does not interfere with forces not directly under its control. Therefore, it maintains only a covert presence in these two territories, with little outward presence.
Hearing Pontoriel praise his arch-rival Tibeici, Diorus's face darkened even more. That dead toad, his mouth was as foul as ever, and he couldn't speak properly.
Diorus seemed to have forgotten why he had offended Tibeici 30,000 years ago.
"With your strength, even the God Level powerhouses of the Prado Universe System wouldn't dare to act recklessly. That's enough. All I need is time to develop peacefully," Diorus emphasized.
Pontoriel nodded slightly. "That's easy. I can simply use Divine Realm to envelop the entire Elven Plane. However... if the Spellcaster Association reacts excessively, I'll withdraw. Those spellcasters are not to be trifled with..."
"Don't worry, as long as you don't extend your power into the dimensional wall and don't prevent the natives of the Elven Plane freely entering and leaving, the Spellcaster Association won't interfere. The Primordial Heaven should also have Civilization Protection Period, right? Don't you know that?"
"Uh... well, I, the mighty Desolate Lord, the noble Primordial God, of course do not need to know about such trivial matters..." Pontoriel's tone was ambiguous, and his eyes darted around.
Diorus immediately realized that he had probably overestimated this brute god who only knew how to fight and whose education was questionable.
Of course, this isn't without its advantages; at least it significantly reduces the probability of being ambushed. Otherwise, why would Diorus specifically contact this Desolate Lord? Isn't it because the latter is simple-minded?
"When you come, bring some ' World Stone.' I will send someone to guard a certain location; you just need to hand over the ' World Stone ' to him."
World Stone are actually Primeval Stone with negative properties.
Similar to stolen property, it is ill-gotten, but its effects are no less than those of Primeval Stone. After use, it will be rejected and hated by the Astral Realm Will, at most reducing some charm and luck attributes. For powerful individuals of the evil faction, this is no big deal.
"World Stone? Only the World Destroyer produce a few of those things, and they're not easy to get..." Pontoriel rubbed his claws together, a cunning glint flashing in his brutal eyes.
Diorus understood the hidden meaning in the man's words and gritted his teeth, saying, "Don't worry, I'll just write an IOU and pay you back double, how about that?"
Upon hearing this, Pontoriel's eyes lit up, and he immediately patted his chest, saying, "With our brotherly relationship, I'll definitely raise enough World Stone for you."
Upon seeing this, Diorus's eyelids twitched, and he quickly said, "I only need 30,000 World Stone, don't give me too many."
"Only thirty thousand?" Pontoriel scoffed. "That's too little, isn't it? How about three hundred thousand?"
"Didn't you just say that World Stone are hard to come by?" Diorus was furious. How come He hadn't noticed before that this dead toad was so greedy?
In the end, the two Primordial God negotiated and settled on a price of 180,000 World Stone.
In other words, Diorus will need to repay Pontoriel 360,000 World Stone in the future.
If the process is delayed for too long, there will be high interest rates.
It can only be said that when it comes to kicking someone when they're down, Desolate Lord Pontoriel didn't hold back the evil forces.
Friends? Aren't they just for betraying? Are you really going to go through fire and water for them?
After ending the conversation, Diorus put away his gloomy expression and smiled.
After a brief verbal probe, Diorus was quite satisfied with the helper he had found.
Thirty thousand years have passed, and He was originally worried that Pontoriel would turn into a cunning old man, but now it seems that He was being a bit delusional.
Some brains are simply not designed to develop wrinkles.
360,000 World Stone?
It's nothing.
Destruction any plane and extracting its World Origin Force would easily condense into over a million World Stone.
If Diorus was willing to share the wizard's treasure, then a mere boundary World Stone would naturally be of no concern to him.
The various negative emotions displayed during the conversation with Pontoriel are actually negotiation techniques.
This made Diorus sigh, realizing that he had finally become the kind of person he used to hate.
Suddenly, dark forces surged and transformed into the figure of Baisuo Kraschoff.
Baiso knelt respectfully, like a humble servant rather than the high and mighty Mudato of the Ancient Tower Federation; this was a sign that he had been completely corrupted into a demonic servant.
"What happened?" Diorus's eyes narrowed as he looked at Baisuo, who was kneeling on the ground. The latter would not have come to see Him unless something major had happened.
"My god, Hefeisi, Elven's disciple, has just released a video of his speech on several major media outlets across the plane," Baisuo said, head bowed.
"Huh?" Diorus was taken aback, then took out his communicator and brought up the projector.
Hefeisi's face appeared, with the huge emblem of the Spellcaster Association behind him.
"Hello, I am Hefeisi..."
The speech video is only a few minutes long, but its destructive power far exceeds that of launching a massive battle.
In the video, Hefeisi first explained his identity, using his teacher Elven and the Spellcaster Association as double endorsements. Then he revealed the origins of Diorus and his identity World Destroyer, and did not omit the relationship between the Ashes and the Guta Federation and Diorus... Finally, he even left a written explanation.
"I have ordered the Federation to do everything in its power to block the news, but there are too many forces secretly stirring things up, so the blockade will likely be ineffective. I beg Your Majesty's punishment."
Diorus sneered, "Whatever. Since these ants want to play, let them see what true despair is."
After making contact with the Desolate Lord Pontoriel, Diorus was no longer worried about the threat from external True God. His only enemies were the native life forms of the Elven Plane, and at most, Hefeisi, who could not take action but could only provide support from the side.
If that's the case, then what's there to be afraid of?
Once He regains His God Level power, no one will be able to stop Him.
Baisuo didn't understand the source of Diorus's confidence, but his mind had been completely corrupted, and he trusted Diorus unconditionally.
After a pause, Baisuo, "My God, once the news spreads, a rebellion is very likely to break out within the Federation. What should we do? Should we let it run rampant, or suppress it directly?"
The vast majority of Diorus's power remained in the Realm of Exile. Although, with the help of the Sun Eclipser Baliewei, he directly invaded the race's Fortune through the Silver Spirit Staff, increasing the efficiency of the invasion by several thousand times, given enough time, the Guta Star People Guta Star People would have no chance to resist, as this was tantamount to them actively opening the city gates.
However, time was ultimately too short, and the Dark Mind was not deep enough. Some Guta Star People with higher resistance still had a chance to regain some of their sanity under external stimulation.
As a result, waves of rebel armies will inevitably emerge.
"First let it run rampant, then suppress it!"
Diorus's pupils were crimson as he smiled cruelly. He was not worried at all about the outbreak of civil war; war would only accelerate the erosion of the Guta Star People.
This is the terrifying aspect of the Dark Mind's authority.
If the Guta Star People do not resist, they can only wait for their souls to be corrupted and turned into demonic servants.
Resistance is not only futile, but the mere sight of blood will breed malice and accelerate this process of erosion.
Ultimately, when Baliewei willingly offered up the Silver Spirit Staff, allowing Diorus to corrupt the entire race's Fortune, everything was already beyond redemption.
The Dark Mind, like cancer cells spreading, rampantly in the bodies of the Guta Star People. Treatment is useless; the only difference is that they will die sooner or later.
"Clear!"
Baisuo vanished, transforming into a dark Mist.
The hazy face flashed and pierced through space to reach the lowest level of the Star Moon.
In the vast space, a blood-red altar stood tall. At the top of the altar, the Grand Duke Tielin hung his head and was nailed to a cross made of white bones. Countless blood vessels, like IV tubes, connected to his body, transporting streams of Gendaya People's essence blood into his body, which was then purified and absorbed through the power of the blood-red altar.
Every moment, the aura of the Grand Duke Tielin was increasing, though not by much, but with unwavering determination.
At this rate, in about ten years, Grand Duke Tielin will be able to steadily enter the realm of Peak Demigod.
At that time, Diorus could use his body as a sacrifice to temporarily summon the Space-Time Power, and then, in conjunction with the infinite evil collected during the interplane war, drag the power of his original body out of the Realm of Exile.
However, plans can't keep up with changes. Diorus didn't expect that Lancelot and Logo, his prey, would be so troublesome, even daring to scheme against him, their hunter, and succeed in doing so. It was simply outrageous and intolerable.
What broke His defenses even more was Hefeisi's series of actions, which were clearly pre-arranged by Elven.
Even Diorus dared not be careless in the face of a pre-arranged plan by a God Level Mage of Fate.
For the reasons mentioned above, Diorus ultimately sought out the help of the Desolate Lord Pontoriel, intending to accelerate the progress of his plan, even if it meant paying a greater price and sacrificing some of his power.
Without a doubt, Diorus was not a mindless villain. He never intended to let his opponent grow stronger, but instead chose to use his full strength even when hunting a rabbit.
The next point of contention is who develops faster and gains the ability to crush the opponent first.
The hazy face drifted to the cross, extending tentacles that pierced into the head of the Grand Duke Tielin.
Then, streams of hazy power flowed into the body of Grand Duke Tielin.
Grand Duke Tielin suddenly raised his head and let out a shrill scream. His flesh began to mutate, with tentacles that seemed to have independent life sprouting out, and even strange eyes growing from beneath his flesh. It was extremely terrifying.
Meanwhile, Diorus's aura continued to decline, eventually becoming extremely weak, at which point he stopped moving.
"I never imagined that all the Indestructible Origin I had painstakingly accumulated would be used by a piece of trash like you..." Diorus coldly stared at the madly roaring Grand Duke Tielin, wishing he could swallow him whole and reclaim his Indestructible Origin.
This is His original power. Because it is tainted with the aura of His own World Destroyer, it is enough to give Grand Duke Tielin the ability to devour World Stone and grow in a short period of time.
Similarly, Grand Duke Tielin was given a temporary [Power of Adaptation] talent.
Without this ability, attempting to absorb a Boundary World Stone of equal power rank to the Primeval Stone is simply suicidal.
"Now, we just wait for Pontoriel to arrive..."
The Elven Plane was in an uproar when Hefeisi's speech video was released to the public.
Experts and scholars who had publicly stated that the existence of evil gods was nothing more than a conspiracy theory have been slapped in the face.
People in various countries were gripped by fear and demanded that their governments send troops to destroy the evil god.
Under this pressure, the heads of state met via projection, and after heated debate, jointly announced the formation of a multinational coalition to besiege the Guta Federation.
The allied forces' assembly point was on Planet Amethyst.
It is worth mentioning that the Saila Empire also joined the coalition and declared that its previous attacks on the Crimson Alliance and the Gendaya Royal Court were all misunderstandings.
Naturally, all countries warmly welcomed this.
Having suffered a great loss, the Crimson Alliance had no choice but to grit its teeth and endure the pressure from various countries.
In fact, the Saila Empire was not actually under the control of Diorus.
The reason why the Guta Federation fell so quickly into the clutches of the evil god was because of the collaborator, Baliewei, who directly surrendered the city.
The Saila Empire was different. With the power that Diorus had before, it was impossible for him to infiltrate the entire Saila People population, not even a tenth of it.
The current state of the Guta Federation can only be described as a consequence of its own actions; it is doomed to fail.
And so, the allied forces began preparations in earnest, with warships gathering on Planet Amethyst, quickly exceeding 100,000, and the growth rate showed no signs of slowing down.
On the other side.
Logo is disarming the last remaining Titan Fortress.
With his Eye of Insight, and given Logo's alchemical skills, the Blood Clan ' contingency plans were utterly insignificant in his eyes, and he easily dealt with them.
However, in order to make the Crimson Alliance's higher-ups feel that it was worth the money, he deliberately delayed the progress and pretended to be struggling.
With the Titan Fortress completely freed from the Blood Clan ' hidden tricks, the Crimson Alliance's pinnacle of biotechnology finally broke free from its heavy shackles.
Strictly speaking, only the Crimson Alliance, possessing both mechanical and biological technologies, is the complete entity.
Before the Titan Fortress was unsealed, the Crimson Alliance was practically on one leg, hopping along on one leg.
Compared to walking on two legs, hopping on one leg undoubtedly reduces the strength one can exert.
Logo freed up another leg for the Crimson Alliance, which was certainly not a good deed.
The Crimson Alliance also needs to do something for him.
Slaughter Demon!
Since there's no time to build the Demon Slaughterhouse, let's just go for it.
The An Alliance, the Gendaya Royal Court, and the Crimson Alliance —three major forces—joined forces to help Logo Slaughter demons and collect the Abyss Power.
It's just a competition of development, right? Who's afraid of who!
As for the coalition forces, Logo didn't actually have high hopes.
This isn't just a collection of eighteen warlords; there are 188 of them! With such a lack of unity, it would be strange if they could succeed in dealing with the Guta Federation, which has dominated the entire plane for thousands of years.
