As the tide of worms erupted one after another, several fortresses of Bato were wiped out in a day, and many of the Batzu commanders were terrified.

As former colleagues of the Bato Expeditionary Force, they actually have their own eyes and ears in each other's armies.

Therefore, the news of the loss of several fortresses spread almost immediately, and soon spread throughout the social circles of the commanders.

For a while, people were panicked, and these big devils were afraid that the next time they encountered the tide of worms would be their own camp.

In the dictionary of orderly creatures like the devil, there is no word for "fluke" at all, and all the Batzu commanders are busy.

Some were busy joining forces to pull a few more allies, while others were aggressively building defenses and sending out a large number of burning sentinels.

So when the barbed demons carrying the sedan chair appeared outside a fortress dozens of Palesan, they encountered a group of sergeants.

"Whoever comes, and why trespass on the territory of Lord Keaton, if you want to go one step further, you will be killed by me. ”

It was a Chaindemon patrol leader who spoke, and as his lips moved, the chains covering his face made a "clattering" sound.

"I am Namen, Lord Keaton's friendly guest, Bloodrope's former legal advisor, and generous giver of the Chain......"

Lifting the curtain of the sedan car, Namen revealed his rust-red muscular body, and walked in the air to the captain of the chain demon.

He was not empty-handed, but he held a spiked steel chain in each hand, and a warm smile on his face.

Among the nine prisons of Bato, bribery is the most effective means of communication, and the captain of the chain demon who accepts the gift immediately becomes easy to speak.

Looking at Namen, who only covered his body with a gorgeous silk wrap around his waist, but with many scrolls hanging on his body, the captain of the chain demon even felt a little intimate.

To tell the truth, this kind of dress does have some customs and aesthetic habits similar to those of chain demons.

This wasn't the first time Namen had been to Bloodcord - as a clerk for the Bartow Legion, the Pact Demon had visited the city several times for work.

For the Chain Demon, many of the bigwigs behind the Bato Legion are not particularly at ease, so they will always send people to pay attention to it.

And the reason for this has to do with a secret.

It is said that the Chain Demon was one of Bato's former aborigines, and that the Devil had been around for many years before he had a foothold in the Nine Prisons.

When the Lord of the Nine Hells led the legion and successfully occupied Bato, some of the Chain Demons chose to submit and become a member of the Devil.

The other Chain Demons chose to migrate, traveling from the Nine Prisons of Bato to the Shadow Realm, where they thrived.

And those chain demons have actually been in contact with each other for a long time, and they have become "messengers" of their distant relatives.

This means that through the Batzu Chain Demon, they can get some up-to-date news about the current Bato Nine Prisons and their homeland.

Although until now, those aboriginal chain demons who have taken the initiative to migrate have not done anything to harm the interests of Batzu.

However, all the high-level devils still remember this past, and they have never let their guard down against the Batzu Chain Demon.

If there was a suitable reason, or the right opportunity, none of the Lords of Barto would mind completely extinguishing this hidden danger.

However, Bato's law did not allow Battor to sentence Battzu before the crime was executed.

Moreover, the migrating chain demons have not been judged to be the enemies of the devil so far, and the connection between the Batzu chain demons and them cannot be regarded as collaborating enemies.

Therefore, the high-level devils can only control the Batzu Chain Demon, but cannot exterminate it once and for all.

It is precisely because of this that the contract demons who used to work in the paperwork of the Bartow Expeditionary Corps will frequently visit Bloodrope City to inspect the work.

In fact, with each review report submitted, Namen knew more about Bloodcord than he knew about his own walled city.

Of course, in order to keep the source right and left, he still made a small cover up for some of the actions of the chain demon commander Keaton.

For example, Namen never wrote in the report that Keaton was actually in a unique path to promotion.

He actually gave up the devil's promotion route and is trying to evolve into a primitive high-level chain demon, the Evil Hidden Demon.

In order to achieve this goal, Keaton has been removing his own flesh from his body for thousands of years, and has used methods of extreme self-destruction, so that he is now completely unable to feel any pain or fear.

Beneath its chain-covered exterior are blood-cemented bandages, leather slivers, and thousands of razor-sharp scraps of metal embedded directly into its body.

It was as if relying on these terrible objects that he could barely hold his body together. Of course, despite this, his physical strength was still much higher than that of the strongest mortals.

Although Keaton claims that destroying the flesh is only one of his "special hobbies", this quirk is not uncommon among the devil.

But such an excuse could not deceive Namen Bingzhu, the contract demon had once studied in the terrifying academy of the Nine Layers of Hell.

In a course called "Common Devil Physiological and Hygiene Knowledge", the Contract Demon has some understanding of this attributive tendency of the Chain Demon.

Namen knew that the Chaindemon's self-mutilating behavior was a sign that his ideology was moving closer to the more perverted Hidden Demon.

The demons believe that through this slow self-mutilation, they can gradually erase the barrier between the physical and the spiritual, allowing physical pain and spiritual pleasure to eventually merge into one, and then shape a higher life form that tends to perfection.

The destruction of the flesh is only the first step, because no matter how careful and careful they are, their limited flesh will be consumed.

The second step of the Hidden Demon will be to the material plane, searching for mortals who are powerful enough to enter its eyes as "evolved" parts.

Once they have their target, the Hidden Demon will try to harvest the most "perfect" parts of this mortal's body: healthy organs, clean blood vessels, and sharp eyes......

Targets with organs that are favored by the Hidden Demon are usually captured alive, then carefully studied for how their "perfect" parts work, and finally carefully removed and transferred to their own body.

Often, this organ is implanted in a very strange area.

For example, the deft tongue of a troubadour harvested by a demon may be caught in his palm or near his heart, or the beautiful eyes of a queen may be sewn into the center of his torso.

The purpose of this is not to have some kind of bad taste, but purely to facilitate the evil demon to destroy it again.

Regarding the evolution route of this demon, a professor who teaches the contract demon's "Common Devil Physiological and Hygiene Knowledge" course, a well-known deep hell purgatory scholar gave the following evaluation:

Even if the theories that prompt his actions may be correct, his method of constantly destroying his body in order to achieve the perfect unity of body and spirit is doomed to be a time-wasting and useless exercise. ”

"The mortal materials they are looking for, no matter how 'perfect' they are, are not really perfect. They keep implanting such incorrect parts into their bodies, and the end result can only be a thousand miles away. ”

"Maybe they'll become stronger because of it—though I'm skeptical, even if they're the overlords of the Hidden Demons, their combat power is at best at the level of my generation's Deep Hell Purgatory—but certainly not perfect. ”

"Furthermore, the so-called 'perfect' has always been a relative concept, not an absolute. As we all know, the more powerful the creature, the more perfect it is, and if they throw their materials at Battu, I'm afraid there will only be ...... It's a misnomer, in other words, if they were to cast their choice of material at dragons, then I'm afraid there would be only a few dragon gods who would be able to meet their definition of 'perfect'. ”

"However, the demons don't have the skills to obtain materials from the dragon god at all. Because of their lack of strength, they can only limit the list of materials to mortals, but mortals are not perfect compared to other races, and this involves systematic errors......"

In that course, the professor talked about it for a whole week, and the knowledge involved included mathematics, philosophy, logic, and many other subjects, and he could only half-understand the wisdom of the contract demon, but he still remembered a sentence.

"It's all wishful thinking on the part of the Chaindemon race, and it's just a trick by the losers who have fled from Bartow and ceded this place to our Batzu themselves, but because they have no choice, they are just terminally obsessed. ”
