Chapter 584: Demon Monarch Baal

The Endless Abyss, the first of the seven layers of the Hell Plane.

It was a world forever shrouded in darkness and crimson, the sky forever shrouded in thick black clouds, and only the red glow of the boiling lava on the surface illuminated the entire plane.

Demons large and small live in the plane, multiplying, killing, devouring, growing, dying, ...... The cycle is repeated.

This is a world that is countless times more chaotic and countless times more evil than the Dark Regions.

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

This order is divided by the strength of the demons.

Like other ordinary Abyssal Planes, the Territorial Plane has formed its own pyramid of demonic domination.

Usually, at the top of the plane are the Demon Gods and Evil Gods, and below them are the Demon Monarchs who have reached the level of legendary strength.

Under the Demon Monarch, there are large and small Demon Lords, and each Demon Lord has the strength of the Golden Rank.

The Demon Lords are the lower echelons of the Demon Ruling Class, with either a large or a small sphere of influence.

Both they and the Demon Monarch belong to the upper demons, and below them are ordinary demons.

Ordinary demons are divided into big demons and small demons, among which the big demons are all silver-rank and are the vanguard force of the demon legion.

The little demons are all of the black iron rank, also known as the bad demons, and they can be regarded as the main force and servants of the demon army, and they can also be said to be cannon fodder......

As for the little devil, there is the lowest abyss worm.

They don't even qualify as cannon fodder, they can only become food.

In the Abyss Plane, in addition to the superior demons, as well as those demons who use the power of the abyss to pollute other creatures, and then cause other creatures to mutate...... All the other Lesser Demons and Great-Demons evolved from the Abyssal Worm.

The Abyssal Worm is not just food for demons, it is also the origin.

It's just that without the intervention of a demon god or evil god, or other external interference, it is difficult for the Abyss Worm to evolve into a high-level demon or above existence.

And most of the higher-ranking demons themselves are also the descendants of the higher-ranking demons and the higher-ranking demons, or other creatures of the same level.

It is worth mentioning that demons rarely have the strength of a demigod.

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

Among them, the seven layers of hell are because their plane origin is fused with the Seven Demon Gods, and the Seven Demon Gods do not allow the birth of demigod strength demons.

In other abyssal planes, every demon who reaches the strength of a demigod is devoured by the evil gods who dominate the plane—they will not allow existence that might threaten them to appear.

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

And more evil gods are actually just righteous 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-level ruler of the Abyss Plane.

Baal is such a demon monarch.

He had been fighting against other Demon Monarchs in the first level of Hell for thousands of years.

Demons have a finite lifespan, but unlike other lifeforms, demons can take away the life force of the other party as long as they keep devouring new lives, and theoretically can even achieve immortality.

Therefore...... Although Baal only has the power of legendary pinnacle, he has lived longer than many ancient dragons.

In fact, for many Demon Monarchs, it is not the lifespan limit that threatens their lives, but the wars with other Demon Monarchs, and the malice from the evil gods and demon gods from above.

Barr was lucky, though.

The true master of the first abyssal plane, the seventh demon god Azazel, who presides over the earthfire, lust (harmony), and sheep's horn demons, has been sealed by the righteous god in the world of Seggs for 10,000 years.

In these 10,000 years, it was like a paradise for the Demon Monarch of the first level of the Abyss Plane.

Without the restraint of the Demon God, they can start wars at will, expand their power at will, and even continue to fight for the possibility of further progress.

Plus Baal himself is also a powerful demon monarch.

So...... During the long time that Azazel had been sealed, no one had been able to defeat him in the plane.

In the past thousand years, he has continued to lead large and small demon lords to fight against other demon monarchs in the first layer of hell, killing and devouring one demon after another of the same level, and the territory he dominates has also snowballed.

Now...... He was already the most powerful Demon Monarch in the first abyss plane, and he was only one step away from the demigods, and more than one-third of the entire plane had become his master.

However, this is already the limit.

Although Barr is strong, he has only one after all.

When the other Demon Monarchs joined forces 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 the Demon Monarch is actually just controlling his subordinates by fear.

So...... Even if the other Demon Sovereigns united against Baal, they would only be on par with him.

"Hmph, a group of cowardly high-ranking demons, the weaklings who are holding me back."

Sitting high on the throne of his demonic castle, Baal drank the blood of a virgin filled with a croissant, his face full of mockery.

That blood was sacrificed to him by his worshippers in the material realm.

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

Listening to Baal's words, feeling the terrifying coercion on him, the big demons and little demons serving below trembled.

Even the Demon Butler, whose strength had reached the top of the Golden Rank, was trembling.

No one dared to say anything.

Baal has a bad temper, and if he targets him to vent, he will only end up being devoured.

Glancing contemptuously at his trembling subordinates below, Bal snorted, rose from his throne, and walked out of the castle.

The blood-red cloak fluttered behind him, and the hideous black armor made him look even more terrifying.

Like most of the ordinary demons of the first plane, Baal's image is a typical sheep-horned demon.

This is the race dominated by the seventh demon god Azazler, and the entire race is actually the offspring of Azazel's own blood after fusing with the Abyssal Brood.

Of course, Azazler's original intention was not to raise offspring, but to create some more convenient cannon fodder and rations.

And the Demon Monarch, in fact, is not all like Baal who is a sheep-horned demon.

They will evolve into all kinds of things as they devour the chaos.

There are a few pure ones like Barr.

And the reason why Baal didn't change his form was not because he worshiped or was loyal to Azazel or anything, but simply because he himself was forcibly raised by Azazel using his own blood to fuse into the body of an inferior demon.

For this, Barr has no gratitude, only fear.

He knew it wasn't the Demon God's kindness.

The other party is just to raise a suitable territorial manager and reserve grain.

Those strange Demon Monarchs who are not pure in blood and have evolved are actually much safer than themselves.

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

It is also because of this that Baal will expand and devour wildly during the time that Azazel was sealed, in order to constantly make himself strong and get rid of his final fate.

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

And he will definitely be able to rely on constantly devouring other demon monarchs, and then forcibly break through the limitations of the plane and become a real demigod-level demon.

As long as he becomes a demigod-level demon, he hopes to use the power of the law to find the origin of Azazler's hidden place in the hellish plane.

And if he finds it, he can rely on his bloodline similar to Azazel to forcibly devour the godhead core he is hiding there, and he can replace him and become the new seventh demon god!

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

Even though Azazel was sealed for 10,000 years, even though Baal devoured one demon monarch after another, he still couldn't break through the hierarchical restrictions imprisoned in the hellish plane and become a true demigod-level demon.

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

And today, Baal finally understands that unless Azazel falls, it will not be ...... He would never want to go any further, to escape the fate of being devoured in the future.

This...... It's a dead knot.

It is also because of this that Barr has become more and more irritable recently.

Especially after a few years ago, the seventh demon god Azazel was suspected of being out of trouble in the world of Saiges......

Of course, then news came that Azazel had been sealed away by a newborn god not long after he was out of trouble.

But when he heard this, Barr didn't feel at ease at all.

As a subordinate of Azazle, he knew the strength of the other party.

Even if it has been sealed for 10,000 years, a newborn righteous god will never be his opponent!

In the priesthood of Azazel there was earth fire.

As long as he is underground, he can run as fast as he wants.

Unless there is a righteous god whose strength has reached the weak level of divine power, otherwise...... Don't try to stop Him.

And a newborn righteous god?

Not to mention weak divine power, I'm afraid that even weak divine power is barely qualified.

Seal?

Hehe.

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

Now in the Endless Void, who doesn't know that the magic of the Seggs plane is recovering, the plane passage is about to open, and all kinds of seals are loosening one after another......

Seal Him now?

It's just a matter of delaying the time.

Unless some powerful true artifact suppresses it, or directly hammers Azazel into a dying lock...... Otherwise, it's just a delay.

Again, Baal was not optimistic about the battle of a newborn god with Azazel.

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

What kind of personality is that elf?

Stupid and naïve.

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

Sooner or later, he will be freed.

There's really not much time left for Barr.

However, just as Baal left his castle and was about to go to the nearby Demon Monarch to fight, a majestic and evil voice suddenly sounded in his mind:

"All the Demon Sovereigns of the First Hell obey the order, respond to my call, and descend on the world of Seggs!"

It was the voice of the seventh demon god, Azazel.

For a moment, Barr's pupils constricted.

"This ...... It's the Demon God Summoning! ”

He exclaimed, in disbelief.

Demon God Summoning is a special ability of the Demon God.

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

If it had been 10,000 years ago, it would not have been surprising that Baal had been summoned.

But now Azazler is not only in the world of Seggs, where the dimensional passage has not yet been fully opened, but he himself is also in the midst of being sealed.

This...... It's very problematic.

Not to mention, Azazel was able to cross the seal and project his voice directly into the hellish plane.

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

At this moment, Balmo felt a kind of panic.

Actually, Azazler's voice sounded rather weak.

But the weaker he became, the more frightened Barr became.

Because this shows that the other party is in urgent need of energy replenishment, it is likely that the Demon Monarch is not summoned to meet the enemy......

Maybe you might need to face the enemy, or break the seal completely.

But he named the Demon Monarch, and he was afraid that he would also devour some of his subordinates.

And Barr, who is the strongest, is definitely the first choice.

Barr could have chosen not to.

But the first hell is so big that there are always people who go obediently because of the 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.

For a moment, Barr's expression changed.

After some hesitation, 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 hellish plane can stop me from going further! ”

Yes, the Hellplane did imprison his chances of going further.

But the Seggs World won't.

Leaving the Hellish Plane, Baal could theoretically break the shackles of fate.

It is not a feasible path to simply use this summoning to leave the hell plane, flee to the world of Seggs to hide, and then rely on devouring the creatures of the world of Seggs to become an evil god.

On weekdays, without the permission of the Demon God, the demons of the Hell Plane cannot leave the Hell Plane and enter other planes, at most they are projections.

Only those relatives of the ordinary abyss plane can do it.

But now, here's your chance.

If you can successfully escape after being summoned, then ...... It's also a road!

It's a pity...... If you follow this path, you won't be able to become an immortal 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 nose."

Barr muttered to himself.

Judging by Azazler's voice, the other side is in poor shape.

I don't know if it's a disguise, but Barr now has only one way to believe it's true.

And with Ebal's own current strength, it should still be possible to run with all his strength when facing Azazel, whose strength is weakened and the seal has not yet been unlocked......

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

The castle is large and majestic.

The chic days here are also very lively.

But......

"It's all just temporary freedom, and if I want to be truly free, I have to be truly independent!"

"It's really hard to give up everything here, but once I successfully sneak into the world of Seggs, I will definitely be able to rely on the intelligent race there to build a more beautiful castle of my own and live in a more luxurious palace! And you can drink fresh blood every day! Eat fresh flesh and blood! ”

"I've heard that the elves of the world of Saigs are more delicious, and if I get there, I must capture a lot of elves, not only devour them, but also let them serve me well! Become a toy for my pastime! ”

Barr pumped himself up.

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 gaze became firmer, and Baal responded to the Demon God's summons:

"Respectfully...... Your wishes. ”

A blood-red circle converged beneath him, emitting a dark red halo.

In the next second, Barr's figure disappeared in place.
