In the dark Void, the body of the King of the Demonic Sea, along with a vast Space-Time of spacetime, was frozen by an extremely terrifying icy power. This power, merely by emanating outwards, caused the surrounding Void Energy to condense into crystal-clear ice crystals.
Ordinary Demigod cannot even get close to the ice block frozen by the King of the Demonic Sea; otherwise, their bodies and souls would be frozen solid, and death would be a natural consequence.
The power of the Main God is so terrifying; it is on a completely different level from that of the True God.
That's why Gustavo had to go to great lengths to ask the Lord of Demonic Machinery for help. Otherwise, even a powerful being like Rayquaza Weimis, a Upper God and True God Tier Nine, wouldn't be able to break through the frozen layer, let alone release the King of the Demonic Sea.
However, what was as difficult as ascending to heaven for True God was a piece of cake for the Lord of Demonic Machinery. He simply waved his hand, and one after another, mechanical towers emitting black light appeared out of thin air.
These towers, like majestic mountain peaks, were evenly distributed around the giant ice block that the King of the Demonic Sea had transformed into. Beams of light composed of various laws shot out from the top of the towers, weaving a dense, impenetrable net like a spider's web, directly enveloping the King of the Demonic Sea. With a gentle pull, a large Space-Time around him was also lifted into the air.
"Let's go back to the Black Hole Domain together."
The Lord of Demonic Machinery smiled slightly and waved his hand casually. The space around the mechanical tower surged violently, and a moment later, he teleported away from the original location, carrying the King of the Demonic Sea and Gustavo.
Only then did the surrounding fleet and Transcendent beings react, and cries of surprise rang out one after another.
"The ice blocks that sealed the King of the Demonic Sea have disappeared. What happened?"
"I think I just saw a great being descend upon us, along with several mechanical towers."
"A mechanical tower? A great being? Could it be the Lord of Demonic Machinery?"
The True Dragon Clan stationed in another area also quickly discovered that the King of the Demonic Sea had disappeared. The leader hurriedly reported it, and not long after, a True Dragon of the Upper God level tore through the Void and descended on the border of the East Third War Zone.
A pair of dragon eyes gazed across the distant Void at the area where the King of the Demonic Sea had previously been, a hint of confusion flashing in their eyes.
"Judging from the terrifying aura lingering on the spot, it was indeed a being at the level of Main God, most likely the Lord of Demonic Machinery. But what does the Mitrola Clan intend to do by taking the King of the Demonic Sea away? Could it be that they want to repeat what happened before?"
"That shouldn't be the case. Once is enough for this kind of thing; it's almost impossible for it to work a second time. Our tribe is already well-prepared."
"But if it wasn't a sneak attack, and they wanted to bring back an Astral Realm Anomaly for research? Hmm, the Lord of Demonic Machinery follows the mechanical path and does enjoy research, so that possibility is quite high, but we can't let our guard down."
"Let's go back and warn our men to be on high alert, lest they be ambushed by these cunning and treacherous spiders."
Muttering to himself, the Upper God- ranking True Dragon vanished from its spot. Not long after, an order was relayed to all the True Dragon zones, warning them to be wary of a Astral Realm Anomaly.
In light of this, the True Dragon Clan cancelled many offensive operations, and many mechanical dragon nests retreated to guard against sneak attacks from the Dragon-Hunting Spider Clan.
Unaware that the True Dragon Clan was engaged in a battle of wits with thin air, Gustavo followed the Lord of Demonic Machinery back to the Black Hole Domain.
Upon arriving inside a supermassive Black Hole, the Lord of Demonic Machinery used the previous mechanical tower to create a powerful gravitational field, placing the King of the Demonic Sea at its center. Then, with a furrowed brow, an extremely terrifying dark purple ray shot out from his spider eyes.
Thump!!
The ray struck the ice on the surface of the King of the Demonic Sea directly, and the ice immediately melted away like snow.
Splash!
The roar of massive waves echoed through the gravitational field, and the eerie King of the Demonic Sea the Astral Realm Anomaly was completely unsealed.
"As expected of an existence whose essence of life is similar to that of Miracle Creation, although the Lord of Ice Dragons could freeze it, it did not cause it much damage."
The Lord of Demonic Machinery looked at the King of the Demonic Sea with a slight gleam in his eyes, a desire to study him igniting within them.
Upon seeing this, Gustavo had an idea. He casually pulled out a large ball of the Demonic Sea power, held it in his palm, and respectfully offered it up.
"Oh? This is for me?" the Lord of Demonic Machinery asked.
Gustavo nodded repeatedly.
"You little rascal, you're quite clever. Well then, I won't take advantage of you..." The Lord of Demonic Machinery pondered for a moment, then took out a spider-shaped mechanical puppet and handed it to Gustavo.
"This puppet has no other abilities besides teleportation and self-destruction. Its power is roughly equivalent to the full-force attack of True God Tier Nine. Its teleportation can break through most spatial restrictions below the Main God. You can use it as a high-powered bomb with a long-range capability. After simulating the aura of a certain life form, it will automatically track you. Of course, it will be even more effective if it can capture the real aura."
"A self-destructing mechanical puppet?" Gustavo's eyes lit up, and he quickly took it, clearly overjoyed, but saying, "This is so embarrassing..."
That look was just like when receiving a red envelope from an elder during Chinese New Year—refusing it while simultaneously opening the pocket.
Seeing this, the Lord of Demonic Machinery was not surprised at all. On the contrary, he became even more interested in Gustavo. At his level, there were fewer and fewer of his people who could do whatever they wanted in front of him. Gustavo's performance was quite to the Lord of Demonic Machinery' liking.
Of course, the prerequisite is that you have talent as strong as Gustavo; otherwise, you can easily get your head smashed if you just act cute and charming.
Gustavo understood that he held a high position in the hearts of these ancestors, which allowed him to act so presumptuously in front of them, including the Lord of the Fallen Realm and the current Lord of Demonic Machinery. If it were a different Main God, he wouldn't have done that. Spider Noble was self-aware enough.
"Alright, what you do next is entirely up to you. I'm temporarily giving you control of these mechanical towers, but they can't be moved; you can only use them here."
Having said that, the Lord of Demonic Machinery, carrying the power of the Demonic Sea given to him by Gustavo, teleported away from the Black Hole Domain and returned to the Treacherous Destruction Continent. Before leaving, he glanced at the King of the Demonic Sea, who was roaring at him. Even the bewildered King of the Demonic Sea couldn't help but freeze at that sharp gaze.
"Alright, alright, don't get angry. It's just that we've been stuck for a while, it's okay..."
Gustavo quickly merged into the Demonic Sea and communicated with the King of the Demonic Sea through his Divine Power.
Since he has become True God, his life essence has undergone a tremendous transformation. Before, he could barely survive in the Demonic Sea, but now, he is like a fish in water and is no longer threatened by the power of the Demonic Sea.
The King of the Demonic Sea also sensed Gustavo's power at this moment; the waves surged, transmitting waves of special energy.
Everything in the universe follows a pattern, even the Astral Realm Anomaly.
Although their internal rules differ somewhat from those of the Astral Realm order, they also experience joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, only their ways of expressing them differ.
Having lived with the King of the Demonic Sea for over a decade, Gustavo naturally understood that the special fluctuations emanating from the latter represented joy. So he smiled slightly and continued to appease the King of the Demonic Sea.
After the King of the Demonic Sea calmed down again, Gustavo looked at the various items floating in the seawater.
There were components of the mechanical dragon's nest, fragments of Destruction Void bodies, and a large number of True Dragon corpses. These were the 'food' that the King of the Demonic Sea had eaten during his last period of hunger.
"It seems you've temporarily overcome the effects of hunger and won't become ruthless and irritable for a while. Perfect timing, I need your help to hunt down a large prey. How about it? Want to go?" Gustavo stirred the waters of the Demonic Sea, emitting a mental fluctuation.
On the surface of the Demonic Sea, towering waves immediately surged, the seawater tinged with streaks of blood-red Slaughter light, as if in response to Gustavo's words.
As Astral Realm Anomaly, the King of the Demonic Sea previously wandered alone throughout the Astral Realm, unknowingly devouring all sorts of things without a specific direction of progress, and no one could evoke any emotional fluctuations in it.
The reason is that no living being could be regarded as a companion by the King of the Demonic Sea. Before Gustavo appeared, everything in the world, whether human, True Dragon, or even the sun, moon, and stars, was just food to the King of the Demonic Sea.
Do people develop feelings for the food on their plates?
It wasn't until Gustavo appeared that the King of the Demonic Sea was finally free from loneliness. Coincidentally, he had no goals and only wanted to play with Gustavo forever, so he was easily fooled by Gustavo.
After completing the pre-battle mobilization, Gustavo sent a message to Logo and Lancelot, who were far away in the Golden Divine Kingdom, asking them to come and meet him in the Black Hole Domain.
A few days later, Lancelot, disguised as a spellcaster, descended upon the Black Hole Domain.
"Did you bring the Nirvana Tower?" Gustavo asked directly after meeting Lancelot.
"Of course." Lancelot nodded slightly, extended his right hand, and a flash of golden light appeared, transforming into a dark gold pyramid wrapped with silver patterns.
Logo's voice echoed from within the Nirvana Tower: "Gustavo, let the King of the Demonic Sea in."
"Are you sure the Nirvana Tower can withstand such a massive Demonic Sea power?" Gustavo asked hesitantly, somewhat uneasy.
Lancelot chuckled gently, reassuringly saying, "It's alright. Don't forget about my Steel Feather Cloak. If the Nirvana Tower can't hold out, I'll combine the two Miracle Divine Artifact on the Steel Feather Cloak. No matter how terrifying and bizarre the King of the Demonic Sea is, he won't be able to destroy the Nirvana Tower."
"Hmm, that makes sense." Gustavo breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, Lancelot tossed it gently, and the Nirvana Tower flew out of his palm, swelling in the wind and instantly filling the entire gravitational field.
The Demonic Sea immediately surged wildly, with waves crashing and crashing like Tide of Destruction, one wave higher than the next.
Fortunately, Gustavo quickly calmed him down and used mental fluctuations to lure the King of the Demonic Sea into the dark vortex passage at the bottom of the Nirvana Tower.
"See? I told you the Nirvana Tower could hold its own, didn't I? I didn't even need my Steel Feather Cloak to do anything," Lancelot said with a smile, pointing to the Nirvana Tower, its surface wreathed in silver patterns and radiating light.
Gustavo chuckled and nodded, saying, "I was worrying unnecessarily, but to prevent the King of the Demonic Sea from throwing a tantrum and causing trouble, I'll be staying with him from now on, so you'll have to stay outside."
"Don't worry," Lancelot shrugged.
Gustavo then said no more, transformed into a streak of silver light, and entered the Nirvana Tower.
Lancelot, who remained outside, transformed himself into Gustavo, even his aura and expression were exactly the same. Not to mention strangers, even his Spider Dad Spider Mom who knew him best could not tell the difference.
And so, Lancelot, with Gustavo's shell on his back, easily left the Black Hole Domain, took a spatial teleportation array, and after traversing a long Void territory, arrived at the Thousand-Eyed Universe Cluster.
As a mid-level Astral Realm civilization, the Thousand-Eyed Race is the overlord of their universe cluster, ruling over tens of thousands of planes, including hundreds of directly subordinate planes, making them extremely powerful.
The Thousand-Eyed Civilization's Upper God- level combat power is not limited to Silver Moon Calamity Malakai alone; the latter is merely the strongest member of the race. Besides him, the Thousand-Eyed Race openly has three other Upper God, and the number of Middle God and Lower God is even greater.
This only considers the individual power level. If we add civilization technology, such as war fortresses, Void warships, puppets, and Rune Array, the power that the Thousand-Eyed Civilization can unleash is extremely formidable. Even a large group of ordinary Upper God would be unable to subdue this powerful force.
The only thing that could instill fear in the Thousand-Eyed Race was the overwhelming power of Main God, a power on another level that was utterly insurmountable.
Even hiding in the mother plane wouldn't be of much use. A Main God, without external constraints, can directly use its own "Main God Dao" to envelop the entire plane, thereby severing its connection with the Astral Realm, accelerating the operation of the rules, and causing the plane's origin to be exhausted in a short time, thus turning it into a dead plane.
Unless it's a major plane, only those planes can resist the oppressive power of Main God. Ordinary planes have almost no power to resist Main God.
While Upper God Kingdom can resist the power of Main God, the Thousand-Eyed Race does not possess Upper God Kingdom. At most, they have two Lower God Kingdom, which are more than enough to resist Upper God, but are quite powerless against Main God.
This is why Silvermoon Calamity Malakai so desperately wanted to become Main God; on the one hand, it was his instinct to pursue power, and on the other hand, he did not want to endure humiliation again and again.
Once the Thousand-Eyed Race gives birth to Main God, although they will still be no match for the Void Insect Clan, they will at least have the right to engage in equal dialogue and can transform from subordinates into collaborators.
Inside the Thousand-Eyed Race's Mother Plane, at the Thousand-Pupil Sanctuary.
Theseus, the Strange Light Bearer who was cultivating, suddenly had a dark look in his eyes. Countless lines of cause and effect emerged from behind him, enveloping his soul and awakening something.
A moment later, within the soul world, Theseus's soul knelt down fervently and kowtowed, saying, "Greetings to the great and supreme master."
"Yes, Theseus, you must leave the Thousand-Pupil Sanctuary immediately." Gustavo's voice boomed, echoing in Theseus's mind.
"Great master, please instruct me on where I wish to go."
"To the east, towards the Destruction Realm Abyss."
"Yes, sir."
Gustavo's will slowly faded, Strange Light Bearer 'Theseus eyes gradually brightened as he flew straight out of the Thousand-Pupil Sanctuary.
Meanwhile, in a dark Void not far from the Thousand-Pupil Sanctuary, inside a Void warship, Daciu was resting with his eyes closed when he suddenly received a message from the Realm of Void.
"Theseus, has that guy finally left the Thousand-Eyed Race Mother Plane? Hmph, as long as I capture you, I can clear my name. Then we'll see what those old fogies have to say."
After letting out a cold snort, Daciu piloted his warship away from the Void, following Theseus and slowly moving away from the territory of the Thousand-Eyed Race, gradually approaching the deadly web woven by Gustavo.
