Modo is a massive whole.
And Soren has laid the foundation of everything, which is order and law.
Due to a close relationship with the Goddess of Wealth, the trade in Modo has almost dominated the Material Plane, and nearly all merchant caravans know they can return loaded after a visit to Modo. Additionally, due to a close alliance with the Agricultural Goddess, Modo has significantly increased the number of Druids, some coming to assist in construction and others to learn. Saruman already has a small Druid organization under his command, and many Druids who advocate for the balance between humanity and nature have come to Modo to study how to reduce the population’s detrimental effect on the natural environment based on the city’s layout. At least for now, although Modo is the most populated city in the Material Plane, its surrounding natural environment has not suffered much damage and is not filthy and chaotic like other cities.
Soren has flattened most of the primeval forests, but he has also re-established large areas of forest parks.
Countless trees and plants have been artificially planted and laid out, maintaining the balance of Modo Island and making the environment more beautiful.
Only legendary-level Druids can sense that underground in these forest parks is a massive magic circle that draws on the power of nature to balance earth, water, wind, and fire; when necessary, they can also provide energy for the Maze.
The Material Plane is experiencing a brief buffering period.
But everyone knows that everything is far from over, because demons have obtained a large number of souls from the Underworld. As soon as they digest these souls, the final battle of the Saint’s Cataclysm will arrive.
Soul conversion takes time.
It is conceivable that the significantly strengthened demons will inevitably act against the Material Plane.
Meanwhile.
In the center of Modo, Soren has also received new intelligence.
“Has Lady Silver Moon and Lady of the Night already made their move?”
He put down the information in hand and murmured, “The time is about right. As the conflict between the churches of the two goddesses intensifies and they begin to confront each other directly, the time to act should be approaching.”
“The Spider Queen has already slain two deities from the Elven Pantheon.”
“With her hatred for the Elven Pantheon, it is absolutely impossible for her to hold back; thus, the war in the Spider Forest should be about to break out.”
There was another piece of news in this intelligence.
Recently, the core area of the City of Radiance has faintly been filled with the sound of holy songs, and a large number of Clerics have gathered near the temple. Rumors on the outside say that someone has seen angels emerge from glowing portals.
“Angels?”
Soren rubbed his forehead and muttered to himself, “Has the Lord of Radiance prepared?”
The final wave of the Saint’s Cataclysm is a battle between Lawful Evil and Lawful Good, the two most powerful forces in the Multiverse currently. The Bottomless Abyss has been weakening since the fall of the three titans, and most of the other pantheons are not powerful enough. The Wastes of Wildness and Paradise pose no threat. The strongest forces in the lower planes were originally the Underworld and Hell of Bartok, but now the Underworld is gravely injured, the Hell of Scorching Flames is chaotic, and the Bottomless Abyss is in disarray; Asmothiels’ power has expanded to the strongest in the lower planes, and with his ambition, a direct confrontation with the Lord of Radiance is inevitable!
As of now.
Indeed, only Mount Heaven can contend with the Nine Layers of Hell of Bartok.
“What a pity that the Nature Deity has already declined.”
Originally, the strongest should have been the Nature Deity, but now it cannot dominate anything; the resistance in the Material Plane must rely on the Lord of Radiance alone.
Even Soren cannot manage this.
Although Modo’s army is top-notch in the Material Plane, Soren does not believe these mortals can contend with the Blood War Legion.
There is almost no chance of victory.
Among the elite of the Blood War Legion, there are countless legendary demons; sending these mortals in is just asking for death. Unless the gods are willing to summon a large number of Otherworldly Messengers from their divine kingdom, there is absolutely no chance, and among the gods, only those in the Lawful Good faction would be willing to risk their divine fortunes to fight for this.
Isn’t it interesting?
These detestable zealots are sometimes quite noble!
Because when real disaster strikes, only they will charge to the front without hesitation, and they won’t care about any gains or losses.
As a deity of the Lawful Evil faction, Soren has mixed feelings about these people.
“Lady of the Night would never act against demons. The Lord of Storms is entirely unreliable. The Elven Pantheon and the Orc Pantheon can at most defend themselves. The Dwarven Pantheon has little effect. Lady Silver Moon and the Goddess of Magic are likely too busy fighting. The God of War might take action, but a full-scale battle is probably unlikely.”
“In this final wave of impact, the Material Plane can probably rely only on the Lord of Radiance to resist.”
“Fortunately, He anticipated this; the Church of Radiance has not suffered significant losses, and many Paladin legions are still intact.”
In the final wave of the Saint’s Cataclysm, Soren can at most protect himself; if he resists, the entire Modo will have to be sacrificed.
However.
This does not stop Soren from doing something behind the scenes, such as the layout of the Bottomless Abyss can now begin to be activated.
………………
Bottomless Abyss, Third Layer, Land of Forgotten.
Some time has passed since taking down Nalathiel; after appointing some Lesser Demon Lords, Soren has finally gained complete control over these planes.
The characteristics of the planes have been re-transformed.
After Soren eliminated a large number of Undead, countless demons have been birthed from the Abyss Blood Pool. Almost every day, thousands of demons hatch; these demons are gathered by Soren’s army, and through survival of the fittest, batches of mid- and high-level demons are cultivated.
The Gurenba Arena has now expanded several times.
Especially after Soren himself seized the throne of the Lord of Death, a large number of evil spirits have rushed into Soren’s hands.
It is clear to anyone with eyes that a close connection exists between Balroth Fire Demon Lord—Soren and the Lord of Death; if one does not rush to pledge allegiance now, when should they wait?
The entire Gurenba Arena has been transformed into an enormous military camp.
The demon armies from two planes have been gathered by Soren, instantly becoming a fearsome force!
And now, this force has chosen its next target.
That is—King of Ghouls—Doreisen!
After digesting Nalathiel’s resources, Soren is immediately prepared to take action against this demon lord because once he is dealt with, his demon army can directly attack the stronghold of the King of Werewolves—Yenogu!
It is time to claim the throne of Demon Prince.
