Lord Bloodcloak finished explaining.

He stood with arms outstretched, smiling at the crowd of people.

“What do you think? I can actually think for my comrades as well can’t I?” he sincerely spoke.

However, the atmosphere of the scene just froze.

Barry glanced at the Flame Demon Hound prostrating on the ground, then turned around and addressed everyone else: “We’re all going to beat him up and no one speaks a word about this, what do you say?”

“Agreed!”

Everyone else yelled out.

“Wait a minute, why are you upset!?” Lord Bloodcloak was confused.

He took a step back.

In this split second that no one had their guard up, Kitty’s expression suddenly changed.

“Watch out!” she shouted.

“Wha—”

As soon as Lord Bloodcloak turned around, the crack in space expanded to be several dozen times as large as before.

At the moment it did, a gigantic black hand reached out from the crack and caught Lord Bloodcloak.

『 Ukikikikie, die! 』

A disturbing laugh rang out.

The hand squeezed tightly.

Boom!

Lord Bloodcloak exploded into scattered cards as his real body appeared next to Barry.

Wiping some blood off his mouth, he was surprised: “So it came here personally…”

“Kitty, what’s the situation!?” Barry clenched his fist tight and yelled out.

“It’s the Demon Lord Breeder! The Demon Lord Breeder is here! There are also an army of several million Demon Lords, they’re currently on their way to warp here!” Kitty hurriedly replied.

Demon Lord Breeder.

War.

The war had broken out without any warnings!

This thought passed through the minds of everyone here.

When they saw how Lord Bloodcloak managed to dispatch an army of a billion demons by himself, they had thought this was only a minor skirmish.

But now, the Demon Lord Breeder was here.

It wasn’t a regular demon, it was an authentic True Demon.

In the Fallen Zones, demons were nothing but small fires, even particularly powerful ones were nothing but high-ranking soldiers.

Above the normal demons were the true weapons of war—— Demon Lords.

And the ones who created the Demon Lords, the ones that orchestrated the invasion, the ones responsible for all this bloodshed, were Daemons.

Daemons were the true masterminds behind the gradual destruction of the 900 million World Layers.

To differentiate Daemons from normal demons, everyone calls them True Demons.

And the Demon Lord Breeder was renowned even among the ranks of True Demons.

Remodeled Demon Lords, Chaotic Demon Lords, even True Demon Lords, the three most common types of Demon Lords were all created by its own hands.

The Demon Lord Breeder was the control center of all Demon Lords, as long as it was present, all Demon Lords would bend to its will.

In order words, the fact that the Demon Lord Breeder was here meant that the scope of this war had suddenly shifted to become the most severe and grand scale possible.

Its appearance signified that the demons had committed to a full-scale war!

The eerie voice from the crack in space came again.

『[Kindling] was originally only meant as a tentative attack, who would’ve thought the circumstances would go so well in our favor, ukikikikie! 』

『 That’s why, prepare to die. Demon Lord army—–! 』

Following its voice, the crack in space expanded even faster.

The dark crack ripped apart the space vortex like a towering mountain range that reached all the way to the sky.

An atmosphere mixed of despair, bloodthirst, killing intent and insanity came storming out from the crack.

This all came from the Fallen Zone, the combined chaotic presence of all the millions of Demon Lords under the Demon Lord Breeder’s control.

And they were about to pass through the limits of time and space, arriving here in just a few moments!

“Dream on!”

Kitty wasn’t concerned with hiding her strength any further, gritted her teeth and used her full power.

Her hands lightly pushed forward, making the space vortex around them break out in a huge burst of movements, almost like glass shattering from stress.

Divine Skill, [Space-time Imprisonment]!

Bang bang bang bang bang!

The invisible spatial power shot out like cannon balls, blasting away at the crack.

In mere seconds, the crack was hit so much it warped and bent.

『 No! 』

The Demon Lord Breeder’s voice came.

The crack in space quickly broke apart bit by bit, washed away in the space vortex and shrunk.

Almost instantly, the Demon Lords presences all disappeared.

『 For such a powerful Spatial ability user to be here… 』the Demon Lord Breeder muttered.

『 How troublesome, I’ll kill you first—– 』

A dark shadow broke through the restraints of space and rushed straight at Kitty.

It moved very fast, and Kitty was busy maintaining her spell, so she couldn’t block it in time.

But the dark shadow crashed into a giant card before disappearing together with it.

“Thanks” Kitty turned to Lord Bloodcloak.

Lord Bloodcloak nodded.

Kitty then loudly told everyone here: “I can only delay it for three minutes, after three minutes, the Demon Lord army will definitely be transported here!”

The Demon Lord army—– an army consisting of only Demon Lords!

Barry clenched his fists and loudly declared: “We have to deal with the Demon Lord Breeder before that, I’m up first!”

Lord Bloodcloak drew a blood red card and spoke: “I’ll protect Kitty, and also, I’ll watch your back”

“Good” Barry glanced at him in surprise.

The card then disappeared from Lord Bloodcloak’s hand.

Boom—–

Bloody light filled the air.

Barry blasted upwards, following the stream of bloody light towards the crack in space.

Behind him, Lord Bloodcloak consecutively drew two more cards.

“Kitty, you don’t have to worry. Even if I and everyone else here die, you will definitely not die, because this Bloodcloak is here”

His hands quickly fused several cards together.

From the outside, it looks like a raging sea of blood was slowly manifesting.

Kitty didn’t react to that at all.

She was busy calculating where the demons were going to warp, trying to buy as much time as possible for everyone.

“Charge!”

“Kill the True Demon!”

Almost 100 top-level Combatants roared in fury.

They all rushed forward!

The war begins!

…

Aboul.

The royal green room.

A haggard middle-aged man sat dejectedly on the sofa, his expression ashen.

He was wearing a pair of black leather skinny jeans and nothing on top, he also had a bright red mohawk and a glass of iced liquor in his hand.

“You’ve had it tough, have a drink” Tethys consoled him.

The man sighed, tilted his head backwards and drank the whole thing.

“I have no choice but to take human form now—– I know that a lot of races like to turn into human form to communicate with other races in the infinite worlds easier, while not exposing their own characteristics”

“But I don’t like taking human form at all, because I won’t be able to show off my beautiful feathers”

Tethys kept encouraging him: “This couldn’t be helped, your feathers will play a decisive role in this matter”

Looking at his dejected and dispirited self, she couldn’t help but gently stroke his face to console him.

Stopping for a bit, Tethys continued: “I wanted your whole body—–”

Pop!

A sound resounded in the void of space.

The Light of Dawn Triste suddenly appeared out of nowhere and started speaking: “Tethys, I’ve made the arrangements, no one will be displeased with you investigating the VIP area now”

As soon as she finished, she noticed what was going on in the green room.

A man was half-naked on his upper body, leaning back on the sofa.

While Tethys was reaching her hand out to gently stroke his face.

Triste was stunned.

When I appeared just now, I think I heard Tethys say something like ‘I wanted your whole body…’

That’s right, I definitely didn’t hear it wrong.

And this situation, it’s possible that…

Could it be…

It must be…

Triste awkwardly curtsied and apologized: “I’m sorry, I didn’t know—– erm, I’ll return later”

Tethys raised her hand, wanting to stop her from leaving.

“Wait a minute, it’s not what you think it is!” she said.

Pop!

Triste disappeared.

The green room returned to silence, only the two of them were left here.

Tethys looked at the middle-aged man.

“Fine, regardless, at least I managed to buy a bit more time”

Tethys sighed.

The middle-aged man didn’t look like he heard any of that and only muttered: “My feathers… my feathers, oh god…”
