Hero? Are You Worthy?

That is the noble, powerful, and supreme Demon King. How could one doubt the decisions of the Demon King? Even questioning them in one's mind is absolutely unacceptable behavior... These Demons churn such thoughts in their minds, but their bodies honestly continue to sleep soundly.

Of course, although many Demons are sleeping soundly, not all of them are.

For some Demons who are used to nighttime activities, the night is paradise.

Besides these nocturnal Demons, there was another strange fellow.

It was Luo Meng.

At this moment, this guy was sneakily walking toward the gully behind the Demon King Palace.

He was very cautious, not wanting other Demons to discover his whereabouts, yet he didn't realize that his sneaky actions were exceptionally clear in the eyes of those nocturnal Demons.

Of course, these Demons did not stop Luo Meng's actions.

After all, this was the Demon Seventh Prince, and with many Princes, Princesses, Abyss Sky Kings, and Demon Generals having died, the status of Luo Meng, the Seventh Prince, has risen accordingly.

Under such circumstances, offending a Prince who is likely to inherit the Demon King's Throne is definitely not a wise move.

The most important thing is, the Demon King Palace is a forbidden area.

But the gully behind the Demon King Palace is not.

Most likely, this Prince couldn't tolerate the boredom any longer and wanted to go out for some fresh air. It's not considered an important affair that requires a big fuss over nothing.

And Luo Meng, oblivious to the glances sweeping over him, continued carefully and swiftly to hide his figure within the forests of the gully. Yet, this guy, being used to negligence, unintentionally made noises like cracking branches, which annoyed Luo Meng greatly.

A furry hand scratched a similarly furry head.

The reason for coming here, of course, had a purpose.

Luo Meng wanted to become the Demon King, but to become the Demon King, he first had to kill the current Demon King, his father.

This was no psychological burden for Luo Meng. Emotions among Demons? That's as nonsensical as talking about feelings among merchants without involving money.

For this, Luo Meng was even willing to take some risks.

He had learned from certain channels that the Demon King might have already left the Demon King Palace... However, no one could confirm this information.

The Demon King Palace remained a forbidden area.

No one was allowed to enter without permission.

But Luo Meng was different; he had a clever subordinate. Candice found a great excuse for Luo Meng.

Horus...

Candice suggested that if they could find the exact location of Demon King Nage, they could expose the presence of Mr. Horus. Using the fierce conflict between Horus and the Hero, they could utilize Horus to eliminate the Hero as an excuse to enter the Demon King Palace to negotiate with Nage.

Of course, this so-called excuse also came with significant risks. It couldn't be guaranteed that Demon King Nage wouldn't lose his temper, refuse to listen to your explanation, and kill you directly.

After careful consideration, Luo Meng still resolutely ventured into the forbidden area.

If you don't even have this bit of courage, are you even worthy of saying you want to be the Demon King?

As expected, he didn't find Demon King Nage.

At this point, Luo Meng was completely convinced that Demon King Nage had already left the secret chamber of the Demon King Palace... He wondered whether Demon King Nage had already gone far from the Demon King City, hiding in some secret place.

However, after a few days of searching, Luo Meng suddenly noticed some faint movements now and then coming from the gully behind the Demon King Palace.

The sound resembled the wailing of a wounded beast.

These movements caught Luo Meng's attention, and he prepared to explore that area.

But just at this moment, there was an uproar in the Demon King City, chaotic sounds mingling together, so loud that even within the forest, Luo Meng heard it clearly.

This made Luo Meng very curious, wondering what on earth was happening in the Demon King City to cause such a disturbance?

He instinctively paused, turning around to look behind him.

He only saw a massive number of Demons, countless as if gathered into a cloud, dark and oppressive.

And the movements of these Demons were astonishingly similar; they all stood straight on the ground, faces filled with horror, lifting their heads to gaze at the sky above them.

Almost like pure instinct, Luo Meng followed the gaze of these Demons and cast his eyes to the night sky.

At the very moment he looked over, Luo Meng's body stiffened.

What did he see... Strips of scarlet light... No, it was chains formed by twisting blood, like sharp blades tearing the night sky.

Under the scarlet radiance, even the hair on Luo Meng's face turned a crimson color.

What... What the hell is this?

Luo Meng was so shocked he could hardly keep back from roaring.

Immediately after, an even worse scene unfolded. The originally chaotic crowd of Demons suddenly began letting out screams of terror and pain. A large number of Demons seemed to be suffering from a mysterious and terrifying curse, their bodies writhing on the ground.

Luo Meng's eyesight was excellent.

His eyes could clearly see the bodies of a large number of Demons, as if there were weird marks squirming rapidly beneath their fur. The fur, sharp teeth, and claws of the Demons began to grow.

Their pupils turned crimson.

The next moment, the sound of ripping erupted.

The traces squirming beneath the skins of countless Demons tore through their resilient skin.

Instantly, scarlet flooded the ground.

The wails of the Demons reached an unprecedented extreme.

Amidst the blood-soaked scene, Luo Meng could clearly see strands of thread-like, worm-like existences writhing, twisting, and entangling within the pools of blood.

What... What are those things?

Even with Luo Meng's bold personality, he couldn't withstand the intense stimulus brought by such a sight, only feeling like his scalp was about to explode.

He had never seen such a weird power.

More and more Demons were collapsing to the ground.

Blood pooled into rivers.

In the sky, on the ground, burrowing in the earth... Countless in number.

No life could escape this mysterious force at that moment.

And the disaster continued to spread. With the naked eye, patches of Demons could be seen collapsing one after another, following the six mysterious crimson chains in the sky...

Luo Meng shivered uncontrollably; he didn't know what this situation was, but he knew... danger had arrived.

At that instant, he made a decision he thought was the most correct, almost without a moment's hesitation. Luo Meng pulled down several large trees, laying them directly over himself.

The dense leaves, like a large umbrella, completely shrouded him.

He thought this would block the mysterious force from the sky... It seemed it did have some effect: Luo Meng quickly noticed the weird sounds coming from around him, but he was clearly doing much better than the other Demons.

Of course, it could also be because of Luo Meng's brain... Well, slightly lacking.

Simple?

Similar to a mind where every thought is a line, normally a creature has a hundred lines in their brain, and at this moment, when tangled together, they become a mess.

However, if there is only one line in the brain, no matter how it tangles, it won't cause much of a problem.

In this respect, having no brains seems to be the best method to resist the erosion by the Evil God in the Void.

At this moment, through the gaps left by the leaves, a shocking scene played out in front of Luo Meng.

Six crimson chains, with sharp whistling sounds, plunged into the deepest part of the gully behind the Demon King Palace.

While enduring the mutterings of the Evil God, Luo Meng even had time to consider whether the targets of these crimson chains were the same as his own?

Then, an angry roar echoed from the gully, Luo Meng's eyes widened instantly in shock; he was very familiar with that roar—it was his father's voice.

So the father was indeed hiding in there?

Under the impact of the chains, the protrusions near the gully were flattened.

Amidst the sky-high dust, Luo Meng could vaguely glimpse the figure of Demon King Nage.

Six crimson chains, like eerie venomous snakes, wrapped around Nage, one circle after another!

The chains in the sky gradually pulled tight, seeming to attempt to drag Demon King Nage somewhere!
