Chapter 91: Splitting the Abyss [Request for Recommendation Votes]!

Author: Floating Tower (诸生浮屠)
The arrival of an Evil God is like an earthquake for the Bottomless Abyss.
Because all Demon Lords believe that a powerful Evil God entering the Bottomless Abyss would certainly not stay obediently in the Divine Kingdom; their tendrils would reach out to some layer of the Bottomless Abyss. For example, the Spider Queen, the Goddess of Misfortune, and Soren, who has formally entered the Bottomless Abyss.
The Spider Queen and the Goddess of Misfortune are both quite tyrannical deities.
They have almost taken over a layer of the Bottomless Abyss, and although Soren has not made any significant moves yet, he is quick to act!
In the Bottomless Abyss, sometimes being domineering makes it easier to deal with demons, as many of them are a bunch of bullies who fear the strong. Evil in the Bottomless Abyss can sometimes be a compliment and flattery, and on the second day after Soren arrived in the Bottomless Abyss, he displayed his evil power.
Soren directly killed a Balroth Demon Lord lurking nearby!
There was no reason given whatsoever.
The reason Soren killed him was that this Balroth Demon Lord’s territory was close to the entrance of his Divine Kingdom, and he didn’t give the other party any chance to explain or react. In fact, Soren waited for an entire night.
The other party did not make an appropriate choice during that night.
Either submit to Soren or leave this land!
In any case, the land at the entrance of Soren’s Divine Kingdom could not possibly be given to a Lesser Demon Lord. So when the other party did not respond in time…
It meant that war had begun!
This one-sided massacre only became apparent when the Heroic Spirit Legion started to appear within Soren’s Divine Kingdom; the Lesser Balroth Demon Lord finally realized the fear. But it was too late; Soren transformed into Saint form and directly used [Change Terrain], turning the Demon Lord’s fortress into ruins, then thousands of Heroic Spirits led by Holy Spirit Priests carried out a massacre on all the demons!
Prayer Weavers can only leave the Divine Kingdom if permitted by their deity.
And this action required Soren to pay a small cost in Divine Power Value, so once the Heroic Spirit Army was mobilized, there was no room for negotiation.
“k*ll or drive away all demons within a twenty-kilometer radius!”
In front of Soren was the Guard Legion of the Divine Kingdom, composed of 3,600 Heroic Spirits, among whom about thirty possessed Legendary strength, and the weakest were equivalent to High-level Professionists. After entering the Divine Kingdom, believers experience an increase in their strength due to changes at the soul level; not all Prayer Weavers have at least 5 Profession Levels, and after becoming Heroic Spirits, they quickly approached Mid-level Profession status. To unify the entire Divine Kingdom, Soren’s Heroic Spirits fought almost every day, making them the most elite group in his Divine Kingdom.
Soren hovered in the air, surveying the land before him, and ordered, “Priests, set up the magic circle to change the rules of this land!”
“I will establish at least three temples within a day.”
Demons have a method to alter the rules of a plane by changing the laws of the occupied layer of the Bottomless Abyss to Lawful Evil. Soren has a similar method, but he first needs his temples to alter the land’s force field.
The Prayer Weavers began to appear in droves.
They immersed themselves in building the temples with astonishing efficiency, while the priests started arranging the magic circles across the twenty-kilometer radius. From now on, this place will become a forbidden area for demons; Soren would not easily allow other demons to approach the entrance to the Divine Kingdom.
Thus, a quarantined zone would be established!
Assimilating a plane is a massive undertaking, even for a Demon Prince, it is challenging to assimilate a plane easily.
However, assimilating a region is much easier. After the army of Prayer Weavers completed the occupation of the nearby land, Soren began to mobilize his Divine Power to inject the domain of order into this land.
In just one day’s time.
The laws of this land underwent slight alterations; almost all demons approaching here felt somewhat uneasy, as if they had entered a territory controlled by demons during the bl**d War.
But…
This was just the beginning!
When the news that Soren killed a Lesser Balroth Demon Lord reached the ears of other demon lords, another, even more explosive piece of news soon arrived.
The closest Demon Lord to Soren’s Divine Kingdom was a Lesser Balroth Demon Lord, with a biological level of around 27, who was directly slain by Soren. Then the nearby newly risen Demon Lord, the Executioner – Sauron [Balroth Fire Demon], was preparing to watch and observe how the Balroth Fire Demon would treat the Evil God descending upon this Divine Kingdom, and whether a conflict might occur between them.
An extremely shocking piece of news arrived!
Balroth Fire Demon Lord Sauron, upon receiving the news of a Lesser Demon Lord’s d*ath, almost immediately went to pay respects to this fearsome Evil God.
Following that…
This Balroth Fire Demon Lord unhesitatingly pledged allegiance to this Evil God, becoming one of his minions. In just a day or two, all the demons nearby knew that their lord had turned to the Evil God and gained the divine power bestowed upon him by the Evil God. Meanwhile, most of the Evil Spirits had a mixed attitude towards this, as they did not dismiss the Lawful Evil Evil God; often, Evil Gods are easier to deal with than demons.
Suddenly.
The entire landscape of the third level of the Bottomless Abyss, the Land of Forgotten, changed dramatically.
Originally, as a newly risen Demon Lord, Balroth Fire Demon – Sauron should have been the weakest among the three Demon Lords overall; his Demon Legion was weaker in number compared to the other lords, and although the evil spirits had pledged allegiance to him, the interests were not solid, and he could be easily persuaded to betray by other Demon Lords.
But!
Now Balroth Fire Demon – Sauron had suddenly become the most powerful Demon Lord in the Land of Forgotten.
The reason is simple.
Because he has a fearsome Evil God backing him!
His speed in pledging allegiance to the Evil God was so fast that other Demon Lords began to suspect if Balroth Fire Demon – Sauron had long been allied with the Evil God, and it was precisely because of the Evil God’s support that he could rise so quickly.
……………….
No matter how the outside world speculates.
Soren certainly would not clarify his relationship with the Demon Avatar; all he wants is a somewhat reasonable explanation. As for whether others believe it or not, it doesn’t matter if they do or don’t, as long as I believe it.
Naturally.
Soren’s influence in the areas he can affect on the third level of the Bottomless Abyss rapidly expanded. He continued to reject all demons approaching the Divine Kingdom, but within the Gurenba Arena, he also quickly extended his influence. Because from here on, he would stand behind the scenes until he controlled the entire Land of Forgotten, with the ones responsible for charging into battle being the Demon Avatar – Sauron!
