"Come here!" When everyone was panicking, suddenly a hand reached out out of thin air and grabbed my arm tightly and pulled it back, because of the suddenness of the incident, the people around me who grabbed me didn't have time to react at all, and could only watch me disappear out of thin air with that hand!

"Oh no, look at that woman!" What was Gragonna's experience? Seeing everything that happened in front of him, he immediately realized that the situation was not good, and hurriedly yelled at the people guarding Maria, but it was still a step slower after all, almost at the same time as it shouted, the hand appeared out of thin air again and grabbed Maria, not to mention that there was really a quick reaction among the guards, seeing that the situation was not good, he hurriedly grabbed Maria's shoulder and wanted to pull it back, but he didn't expect that the hand was too strong and finally pulled the two of them into the vast night, and it was too late for others to rescue ...

Soon after, our group came to a hill not far from the scene of the incident, it was almost dawn, and by the faint sunlight we could even clearly see the raging forest in the distance.

"It's so dangerous... Thank you just now." I patted the dust on my body, turned my head and smiled at Malthus.

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't say I was going to help you...," Malthus sneered.

"You didn't say it, but you did."

"I just don't want you to fall into the wrong hands..."

"It doesn't matter why the motive is, the point is that we're in the same boat now, aren't we?"

Malthus looked at me, his eyes showing a little surprise: "You seem to be sure that I will definitely help you?"

"I can't say that, in fact, I was a little hesitant when I released you, but in the end, I was forced by the situation and had to make a desperate bet." Speaking of which, I couldn't help but be a little scared, and that decision at that time was really a bit risky.

"Aren't you afraid that if I'm in league with them?"

"Of course I'm afraid, but I didn't think it was possible when I calculated it at the time."

"Why?"

"Gragon mentioned before that it was assigned by "a certain adult", that guy has always been arrogant, and there are very few people who can make it bow down, given that guy has always been disgusted with the heavenly realm, so the other party can't be a god in the first place, and judging from the tone of its voice to me, the other party is unlikely to be another "demon king's soul", excluding these two points, then the only possibility left is..."The Twelve Demon Gods"!"

Hearing this name, even Malthus's face, which was almost distorted, couldn't help but change color.

I couldn't help but smile when I saw this, and then said: "After thinking about this, then other things become logical, your master in the "Twelve Demon Gods" is "Lust", and Gragon has always been very disgusted with it, so that "mastermind" behind it can never be it."

"And what if I mutinied?"

"Of course, it's not impossible, in fact, this is why I hesitated at the time, but then I thought about it, your guy has always been gloomy, except for "love", he is rarely convinced by other big demon gods, so unless it is a self-supporting portal, the possibility of you changing jobs is actually not great, it is based on these that I finally decided to take a risk, thank God, in the end I finally made the right bet..."

"You are a madman, my dear majesty—" Malthus was silent for a long time before he shook his head and sighed.

"I'm forced to do this too... Okay, so let's talk about the "man behind the scenes", you should know who it is, right?"

"Of course, but I have to remind you, dear Your Majesty, that this enemy is not comparable to what you have encountered in the past, and there are some things that you will be able to get out of if you know them..."

"Thanks for the reminder, but the problem is that I've already been involved..."I couldn't help but smile bitterly, my life has been full of ups and downs since I met Ellie, and now unless the "God" himself intervenes, I am afraid that nothing can surprise me.

Malthus looked at me, hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed, "Well, it seems that everything is arranged by fate... Actually, our opponent this time is... Your Highness..."

"It's it!?" Although I had already guessed that the other party was not good, I couldn't help but be slightly surprised when Malthus really revealed the identity of the other party. I have explained before that the so-called "Twelve Demon Gods" are actually the doppelgangers made by the Demon King himself.,It's quite its child.,So they are usually called His Royal Highness within the Demon Race.,These twelve guys represent the twelve flaws in human nature.,Or the dark side.,Such as greed.,Anger, etc.,The fourth of them is "conspiracy".,As the name suggests, this is a cunning and resourceful guy.,During the "starting point war" it actually played the role of the demon tactician, and caused huge trouble to the "God Race", Because of this, it is called the "wise general" of the demon race.,In those "memories" that I shared with the demon king,"Conspiracy" is a young man who looks very thin.,Even a little weak.,Its face is always pale.,As if he's seriously ill.,In addition to discussing military and political plans,It's always silent in normal times.,The relationship with other "brothers and sisters" is also very cold.,So almost no one knows what this guy thinks all day long.,But if you underestimate it, you'll definitely pay a painful price in the end., I didn't expect that this time we met such a difficult opponent, but my understanding of it is only limited to the Demon King before his death, as for what happened in the thousands of years after that, in fact, I can only get a glimpse of it through various myths and legends, but there are very few narratives about "conspiracy" in those stories, as if this guy has disappeared out of thin air since the Great War...

"But... How can that guy use the edict? And isn't Gragon a "tyrannical" subordinate? Why did you switch to the fourth child now?" Even though I know the identity of the other party, there are still many questions that bother me...

Malthus couldn't help but smile coldly when he heard this: "Actually, during the time Your Majesty was sealed, many things happened within the Demon Clan..."

"Then let's pick up the important ones first."

"Well, I'm sure you've probably heard that since you were sealed, the demons have been leaderless, and as a result, everyone has fallen into a long-term civil war for power."

"Well, it is said that no one won a decisive victory in the end, so the demon clan is still in a state of fragmentation..."

"That's true, yes, but nominally, today's demons actually have leaders..."

"Ah, there is such a thing? Who's that leader?" I couldn't help but be a little surprised, although I had dealt with many demons for a long time, but this was indeed the first time I had heard of this.

"Why are you confused? Besides the supreme head of the demon race, who else can launch the "Imperial Decree"?" Malthus laughed.

"You mean... Conspiracy!? It's the new leader of the demons!?" I couldn't help but exclaim.

"At least nominally...", Malthus's face couldn't help but show a strange smile on his face.
