Game of the World Tree

The endless abyss, the first layer of the seven hell planes.

This is a world forever shrouded in darkness and crimson, the sky is forever shrouded in thick black clouds, and only the crimson light from the boiling lava on the surface illuminates the entire plane.

Large and small demons live in the plane, multiply, kill, devour, grow, die... This cycle has been repeated.

Here, is a world that is countless times more chaotic and evil than the Underdark.

However, although demons are evil and chaotic, there is a basic order in the chaos.

This order is divided by the strength of the devil.

Like other ordinary abyss planes, the hell plane also forms its own pyramid system of demonic domination.

Usually, at the top of the plane are the demon gods and evil gods, and below them are the legendary demon monarchs.

Under the demon lord, there are large and small demon lords, and each demon lord has the strength of the golden rank.

Demon lords are the bottom layer of the demon ruling class, with either a vast or a narrow sphere of influence.

They and the demon monarch belong to the upper demons, and the lower ones are ordinary demons.

Ordinary demons are divided into big demons and small demons. The big demons are all silver rank and are the vanguard of the demon army.

And the little devils are all of the black iron rank, also known as inferior demons. They are the main force and servants of the demon army, and they can also be said to be cannon fodder...

As for the little devil, it is the bottom-level abyss worm.

They don't even have the qualifications to be cannon fodder, they can only be food.

In the abyss plane, except for the upper demons and those demons who use the power of the abyss to contaminate other creatures, and then cause other creatures to mutate to form demons... all other little demons and big demons evolved from abyss worms.

Abyssal worms are not just food for demons, they are also origins.

However, without the intervention of demons or evil gods, or other external forces, it is difficult for abyss worms to evolve into existences of high-ranking demons and above.

And most high-level demons are themselves descendants of high-level demons and high-level demons, or other creatures of the same rank have fallen.

It is worth mentioning that demons rarely have the power of demigods.

This is not only because it is difficult for demons to cross the mythical rank, but also because of the suppression of the evil gods and demons.

Among them, the seven layers of hell are due to the fusion of their plane origin with the Seven Devils, who do not allow the birth of demons with demigods.

The other abyss planes are because every demon who reaches the strength of a demigod will be swallowed up by the evil god who dominates the plane-they will not allow the existence that may threaten them to appear.

Only those lucky guys will eventually grow from demons to evil gods.

And more evil gods are actually just gods who have fallen after being infected by the power of the abyss.

So... except for the evil gods and demon gods who rarely appear, the demon monarch is the top ruler of the abyss plane.

Baal is such a demon monarch.

He has fought against other demon monarchs for thousands of years in the First Plane of Hell.

The lifespan of a demon is limited, but unlike other beings, as long as the demon keeps devouring new life, it can capture the life force of the other party, and in theory can even achieve immortality.

So... while Baal has only the power of the legendary pinnacle, his lifespan is even longer than that of many ancient dragons.

In fact, for many demon monarchs, it is not the lifespan limit that threatens their lives, but the war with other demon monarchs, as well as the malice from the evil gods and demon gods above.

Barr was lucky, though.

The real ruler of the first abyss plane, the seventh demon god Azazel, who is in charge of fire, lust (harmony), and horn demons, has been sealed by the righteous god in the world of Saiggs for thousands of years.

In these ten thousand years, it is like a paradise for the demon monarch of the first abyss plane.

Without the constraints of the Demon God, they can wage wars at will, expand their forces at will, and even continue to struggle for the further possibility.

In addition, Baal himself is also a powerful demon monarch.

So... in the long time that Azazel was sealed, no one could defeat him in the plane.

In the past thousand years, he continued to lead large and small demon lords to fight against other demon monarchs in the first layer of hell, killing and devouring demons of the same rank one after another, and the territory he ruled continued to grow like a snowball.

Now... he is already the most powerful demon monarch in the first abyss plane, and he is only one step away from the demigods, and more than one-third of the entire plane has become the scope of his dominance.

However, this is already the limit.

Although Baal is powerful, he is only one after all.

When the other demon monarchs united against him, he couldn't go any further.

Of course, because demons are selfish and short-sighted, but also chaotic and evil.

Never expect them to be truly united.

Even a demon monarch actually relies on fear to control his subordinates.

So... even if other demon monarchs unite against Baal, they are only on par with him.

"Hmph, it's just a group of cowardly high-ranking demons, the weak who stop me from going further."

Sitting high on the throne of his demonic castle, Baal drank the blood of a virgin from a shofar cup, his face full of mockery.

That blood was sacrificed to him by his worshipers in the material world.

As a demon at the pinnacle of legend, although he is not a myth, he also has the ability to accept sacrifices.

Listening to Baal's words, feeling the terrifying pressure on him, the big demon and the little demon serving below were trembling.

Even the demon housekeeper, who had reached the golden rank, was trembling.

No one dared to say a word.

Barr's temper is very bad, if he is targeted by him to vent, the ending will only be swallowed.

Glancing contemptuously at the trembling subordinates below, Baer snorted coldly, stood up from the throne, and walked out of the castle.

The blood-red big cloak floated behind him, and the ferocious black armor made him look even more terrifying.

Like most ordinary demons on the first plane, Baal's form is a typical horned demon.

This is the race dominated by the seventh demon god Azazel, and the entire race is actually the offspring born after Azazel merged with his own blood in the abyss.

Of course, Azazel's original intention was not to cultivate offspring, but to make some more convenient cannon fodder and rations.

And the demon monarchs, in fact, are not all like Baal in the form of a horned demon.

They will evolve into all kinds of shapes as they devour them in a mess.

Pure people like Baal are in the minority.

And the reason Baal didn't change his form was not because he worshiped or loyal to Azazel, but simply because Azazel used his blood to fuse his blood into the body of a wicked demon. .

For this, Barr had no gratitude, only fear.

He knew that this was not the kindness of the devil.

The other party is just to raise a suitable territory manager and reserve food.

Those demon monarchs with impure bloodlines and strange evolution are actually much safer than themselves.

When he is strong enough, Azazel will definitely devour himself without hesitation.

It is also for this reason that Baal expanded and devoured wildly during the period when Azazel was sealed, in order to continuously make himself stronger and get rid of his ultimate destiny.

He firmly believed that when Azazel was sealed, the other party's control of the hell plane would inevitably weaken.

And he will definitely be able to become a real demigod-level demon by continuously devouring other demon monarchs, and then forcibly breaking through the limitations of the plane.

As long as he becomes a demigod-level demon, he hopes to use the power of law to find the origin of Azazel hidden in the plane of hell.

And if he finds it, he will rely on his bloodline similar to Azazel to forcefully devour the core of his godhead hidden there, and he will be able to replace him and become the new seventh devil!

It's just that Barr thinks very well, but the reality is cruel.

Even though Azazel had been sealed for ten thousand years, and even though Baal had swallowed one demon monarch after another, he still could not break through the rank restrictions imprisoned in the hell plane and became a true demigod-level demon.

Azazel's control over the plane of hell is much stronger than he imagined.

And today, Baal finally understands that unless Azazel falls, otherwise... He will never go further and get rid of the fate of being swallowed in the future.

This...is a dead end.

It is also for this reason that Barr has become more irritable recently.

Especially after the seventh demon Azazel was suspected of getting out of trouble from the world of Seggs a few years ago...

Of course, there was news later that Azazel was sealed by a new righteous god not long after he got out of trouble.

But when he heard this, Barr did not feel relieved at all.

As a subordinate that Azazel had single-handedly picked up, he knew the strength of the other party.

Even if it has been sealed for ten thousand years, a newly born righteous god will definitely not be his opponent!

Azazel's priesthood has ground fires.

As long as it is underground, if he wants to run, he will run very fast.

Unless there is a righteous god who has the strength to reach the weakest level of divine power, otherwise... don't try to stop him.

And a newly born righteous god?

Not to mention weak and other supernatural powers, I am afraid that weak supernatural powers are barely qualified.

seal?

Ha ha.

Even if it can be done, it is estimated that it is barely.

Now in the endless void, who doesn't know that the magic power of the Saigus plane is recovering, the plane channel is about to open, and all kinds of seals are loosening...

Seal him now?

It's just a delay.

Unless there is some powerful real artifact suppressing it, or directly hammering Azazel to the brink of death and locking it up... Otherwise, it's just a delay.

In the same sentence, Baal is not optimistic about the battle between a new god and Azazel.

Not to mention, this righteous god is still an elf conferred god in legend.

What kind of character is that wizard?

Stupid and naive.

Barr didn't believe that Azazel would be sealed like this.

Sooner or later he got out of trouble.

There is really not much time left for Barr.

However, just when Baal left his castle and was about to fight with the nearby demon monarch, a majestic and evil voice suddenly resounded in his mind:

"All the demon monarchs in the first layer of hell obeyed, responded to my call, and descended on the world of Saiggs!"

That was the voice of the seventh demon god Azazel.

In an instant, Baal's pupils shrank.

"This... is the summoning of the devil!"

He exclaimed in disbelief.

Demon Summoning is the unique ability of Demon God.

As the master of the plane, the Demon God can directly open up plane channels in other planes and summon his own demon army.

If it was ten thousand years ago, it would not be surprising to receive the call to Baal.

But now Azazel is not only located in the world of Saigus where the plane channel has not been fully opened, but he is also under seal.

This...is very problematic.

Not to mention, Azazel was able to jump over the seal and project his voice directly into the plane of hell.

"Sure enough... He was not completely sealed! And there is still a way to open the passage to the world of Saigus!"

At this moment, Bale felt an inexplicable panic.

In fact, Azazel's voice sounded rather weak.

But the weaker he became, the more terrified Baal felt.

Because this shows that the other party is in urgent need of energy replenishment, and there is a high probability that the summoning of the demon monarch is not to meet the enemy...

Perhaps it may also be necessary to meet the enemy, or completely break the seal or something.

But he named the demon monarch, fearing that he would also devour some of his subordinates.

The most powerful Barr is definitely the first choice.

Barr could choose not to go.

But the first layer of hell is so big, there are always people who go there obediently because of their fear of Azazel, no matter what... it is inevitable that the other party will get out of trouble.

And once Azazel returns, it will be the end of Baal.

In an instant, Baal's expression changed.

After hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth:

"Isn't it the world of Seggs? Summoning is also an opportunity! I don't believe that in the world of Seggs, the plane of hell can stop me from going further!"

Yes, the hell plane did imprison him for further opportunities.

But the world of Seggs won't.

Leaving the plane of hell, Baal can theoretically untie the shackles of fate.

It is not a feasible way to simply use this summoning to escape from the hell plane, escape to the world of Seggs to hide, and then rely on the creatures that devour the world of Seggs to become the evil god.

On weekdays, without the permission of the devil, the devil in the hell plane cannot leave the hell plane and enter other planes, at most, projection.

Only those relatives of the ordinary abyss plane will do.

But now, the opportunity has come.

If you can escape successfully after being summoned, then... there is also a way!

It's a pity... if you follow this path, you won't be able to become an immortal and indestructible Demon God.

However, it is also a choice after all.

"Don't think about it so much, you have to be able to escape under that person's eyelids successfully."

Barr muttered to himself.

Judging from Azazel's voice, the opponent's state was very poor.

Although I don't know if it's a fake or not, Baal has no choice but to believe it's real.

And with Baal's current strength, when facing Azazel, whose strength is weakened and the seal has not yet been released, it should still be possible if he flees with all his strength...

Thinking of this, Baal looked back at his castle in the hell plane.

The castle is huge and majestic.

The chic days here are also very happy.

but……

"This is just temporary freedom. If I want to pursue true freedom, I must be truly independent!"

"It is really difficult to give up everything here, but once I successfully infiltrate the world of Saiggs, I will be able to rely on the intelligent race there to build a more beautiful castle and live in a more luxurious palace! And I can drink every day. To fresh blood! To eat fresh flesh!"

"I heard that the elves in the world of Saiggs are more delicious. If I get there, I must capture a lot of elves, not only to devour them, but also to let them serve me well! Become my recreational toy!"

Barr cheered to himself.

There is no demon who does not like the breath of the material world.

For demons, it is their instinct to devour the creatures of the material world and erode the environment of the material world.

His eyes gradually became firm, and Baal responded to the call of the devil:

"According to... your wishes."

A blood-red magic circle gathered under him, emitting a dark red halo.

The next second, Baal's figure disappeared in place.
