### Chapter 159: Goddess of Magic and d*ath! [Request for Recommendation Votes]
After the battle in the Kingdom of Fear, Demon Lord Soren finally welcomed the most important evolution of his life.
The evolution of a demon has two forms: one is to fundamentally change the type of demon, such as evolving from a Frenzied Demon to a Frenzied Combat Demon; the other is to continue to upgrade within the existing form. This kind of upgrade has two methods: one is to take on other professions as part-time, and the other is to alter the basic form.
Such upgrades have significant enhancements within the Balroth Demon series (including Balroth Fire Demon).
The career upgrades for Balroth Fire Demon include Executioner, Enforcer, and Executor, while form upgrades involve evolving from [Large Otherworldly Life] to [Super Large Otherworldly Life].
The latter’s enhancement is even more substantial.
After the Balroth Fire Demon upgrades to [Super Large Otherworldly Life], it effectively acquires the [Leader] template.
A Super Large Otherworldly Life Balroth Fire Demon has twice the basic life of an ordinary Balroth Fire Demon. Once the evolution is complete, in terms of vitality, the Balroth Fire Demon can completely overpower a dragon.
Taking the strongest Red Dragon from the five-colored dragons as an example, the base life addition for a wyrmling is 8 points, for a young dragon is 12 points, for a juvenile dragon is 15 points, for a young adult dragon is 20 points, for an adult dragon is 24 points, for a mature dragon is 27 points, and for an old dragon is 30 points.
This means that the form’s base life addition of 30 points for the Balroth Fire Demon is equivalent to that of an old red dragon.
The base life addition for a great old red dragon is 33 points, for an ancient dragon is 36 points, for a primordial dragon is 39 points, and for a primal dragon is 41 points or above.
Even the Primal Red Dragon only has 41 points or above.
According to the strength of lineage, the minimum for a Primal Red Dragon is 41 points, but the maximum is uncertain; however, 50 or 60 points should not be uncommon.
Currently, upon evolving into a [Super Large Otherworldly Life], Demon Lord Soren has a base life addition of 60 points, surpassing most ordinary Primal Red Dragons!
Now.

………………
Fiery magma slid off Demon Lord Soren’s body.
Accompanied by a powerful pressure, he slowly walked out of the palace, and the Succubus maids on either side all knelt down, gazing at him with fearful and greedy eyes. Such a powerful demon had never been seen before by these Succubus maids. The overwhelming masculine aura and strength made it difficult for them to resist; they craved some liquid from Soren and firmly believed that it could grant them the power to level up. Although these Succubus maids tried hard to display their voluptuous figures, Soren, at that moment, didn’t even spare a glance and directly walked towards the military camp with his demon guards.
Upgrading to the Balroth Fire Demon [Leader] form greatly increased his strength. He could easily handle the Abyss Dragons lurking on this plane and even confront the Werewolf Army head-on.
However!
Before that, Soren needed more mid-level demons to bolster his army. The bl**d pool he controlled was no longer sufficient to meet the demand; he needed more souls to hatch Abyss Worms and then transform them into demons.
“Master!”
Teams of demon guards knelt before Soren, with the Demon Goblin leader rushing over as soon as he heard Soren had exited.
Soren glanced at his subordinates. The Demon Hunters served as his personal bodyguards, while other demons remained entrenched within the military camp. His ordered domain brought a slight change to these demons; at the very least, they showed restraint within his territory and only displayed their chaos and brutality once outside.
Souls.
More souls.
With the significant enhancement of his Demon Avatar’s power, a mad idea also emerged in his mind.
The souls in the Bottomless Abyss are limited.
Although the Abyss bl**d Pool continually transforms worms, the main source of souls is still the River of Underworld. After being distributed among many Demon Lords, the substantial number is not very high, which is why the profession of ‘Soul Thief’ exists.
Now, the order of the Underworld is gradually collapsing.
As a powerful Evil God, Soren naturally had thoughts of reaching into the souls of the Underworld.
Many Undead Lords have entered the Material Plane. Not only are there souls from the Underworld, but those connecting with the Underworld also contain countless souls that can be plundered. If these souls are retrieved, they could be transformed into worms through the Abyss bl**d Pool to replenish Soren’s army.
This is a relatively dangerous operation.
However, if successful, it not only could greatly weaken the strength of Undead Lords but also alleviate the pressure on the Material Plane.
“The Underworld has Reapers; it’s not a very good place.”
Soren’s alarm flashed with numerous otherworldly knowledge, filtering through various planes and demi-planes until one location surfaced in his mind: “The Bone Wastes! A semi-plane between the Spirit Realm and the Underworld, the leader is a powerful Bone Lord. If we can plunder this semi-plane, we could at least secure a million souls.”
Undead also require souls to resurrect.
The River of Underworld connects the entirety of the Multiverse’s inner workings. Many Evil Gods, Devils, Demons, and Undead extract souls from the tributaries. If such a semi-plane were captured by Soren, it could directly produce hundreds of thousands of demon armies.
Moreover, an important point is that many high-level Undead have entered the Material Plane.
This is an excellent opportunity!
As a Demon Avatar, Soren could lead a massive army of demons to raid the Undead’s rear bases. If a substantial success is achieved, he could cultivate tens of thousands of demons.
………………
The power of d*ath is dissipating.
Before the Holy Spirit Priest Milan, the necromancer in front gradually shattered, and the fiery soul disappeared alongside the divine light.
Soren won.
The God of d*ath – Naraku severely underestimated his strength, thinking that an ordinary avatar could contend with Soren’s Holy Spirit Priest. But reality delivered a heavy blow; not only did Naraku’s chosen one d*e, but he also lost three points of divine value. However, this failure would remind the God of d*ath – Naraku of Soren’s power. Perhaps next time he wouldn’t send such a low-tier enemy to deliver their head on a plate.
The golden radiance faded.
Soren’s phantom vanished from Holy Spirit Priest Milan, and the surrounding battle was nearing its end. With the d*ath of Naraku’s priests, the Undead gradually lost control.
The upcoming battle required no intervention from Soren; the mortals were already capable enough.
Modo City.
Soren’s main body stood on the tower, murmuring, “It seems the strength of the God of d*ath – Naraku is roughly even with mine!”
The recent battle had already calculated the difference.
Soren’s divine value and divine power were inferior to the God of d*ath Naraku, but he was mostly immune to the special abilities of the d*ath Divine Power. The opponent was an enemy advancing to Strong Divine Power; relying solely on Soren would be impossible to counter. However, it did not mean there was no chance of counteroffensive; if it came to a confrontation, Soren had about a 30% chance of winning.
Nevertheless, that chance is still too low!
“In order to deal with Naraku, it’s best to leverage the power of other deities. Vivian counts as one combat power, the Princess also counts as another fight, and low-tier deities can basically be ignored; it must be a deity with medium divine power.”
Soren pondered, muttering, “Where exactly is Klanvor?”
“And the Goddess of Magic! It’s surprising that she hasn’t shown herself in such a long time. Is she really planning to remain hidden until the Saint’s Cataclysm is over?”
Suddenly, Soren felt a sensation during his contemplation.
Then his figure vanished from the spot, and the next moment appeared over the sea dozens of miles away.
A woman clad in luxurious robes, adorned with skull-decorated jewelry and possessing a stunning beauty that dazzled the eyes, appeared before Soren.
A faint divine radiance enveloped her.
“Nice to meet you.”
The woman slightly nodded to Soren, slowly saying, “Respectful Lord of Shadows!”
Goddess of Magic and d*ath – Vices!
Although this was their first meeting, Soren recognized her identity in an instant. The arrival of this goddess surprised him a bit, but he still nodded, saying, “Hello, Goddess of Magic and d*ath – Vices!”
An otherworldly god.
Also an outsider, a deity from another world.
Soren was somewhat surprised that she found her way to him. His heart was filled with caution, but he did not take any other action.
“Lord of Shadows.”
The Goddess of Magic and d*ath seemed to sense Soren’s wariness and directly said, “The world you are in is being ravaged by d*ath, which is not good for any deity. Not all Gods of d*ath are as extreme as Naraku, believing that life must be ended immediately!”
“I come to seek an opportunity for cooperation.”
“As a deity who governs magic and d*ath, I cannot remain in this world for long. So I hope to gain an opportunity for advancement from this world before I leave.”
“And you, as a deity ruling over shadows and the power of killing, clearly also need a temporary ally to break through.”
“Perhaps we can attempt to cooperate.”
“By the way.”
“I seem to have discovered the trace of the King of the Dead – Klanvor; his current state seems quite poor. Perhaps you could try to take his place!”
The Goddess of Magic and d*ath seemed to have grasped Soren’s key point as soon as she spoke.
