[Headline: Gate of Chaos Incident Settled, Demon King Strikes Victory Anthem Announcing Triumph!]

[Recently, the "Gate of Chaos" incident that shook all of Hell has finally come to rest! With the ringleader and notorious ogre Kassen Skullcrusher beheaded on the battlefield by minions of the Demon King, rapid victory reports reached Demon City, our newspaper's reporters have learned from interviews with the Demon King Management Department that peace, long absent, has finally returned to the Great Graveyard!

"The onset of corrosion! Conspiracy smashed and hostilities triggered by a duel!"

According to reports sent from the Great Graveyard to the rear, the entire incident was sparked by Kassen Skullcrusher's use of a forbidden ritual within the maze to open the legendary Gate of Chaos, but an accident occurred midway through the ritual—Xino Dragon, the second son of the Dragon family, initiated a duel with the Demon King over the ownership of his territory!

In the duel that garnered the attention of the entire Demon City, the vile ritual conducted by the Skullcrusher clan to summon Chaos was accidentally interrupted by Xino Dragon, forcing Kassen Skullcrusher to improvise a rebellion in haste, in an attempt to silence Xino and cover up the evil ceremony of summoning the Gate of Chaos. This incited subspace fluctuations, leading to the termination of the live broadcast at the arena.

Kassen Skullcrusher's act was undoubtedly self-deceptive, as not a whiff of Chaos could escape the eyes of the priests of the Truth Department!

With the revelation of Kassen Skullcrusher's secretive plot, the Ministry of Internal Affairs' Demon King Management Department took the matter seriously and activated the Teleportation Array located at Catastrophe Castle, dispatching the Demon King along with reinforcements to the Shattered Rock Peak area.

After a week's long journey, the Demon King, making a return from Demon City to the frontlines, finally joined forces with the defending units of the Great Graveyard, proactively attacked the Gate of Chaos, successfully seizing control of the corruption of Chaos confined to the fifth level of the maze, all the while rescuing the second son of the Dragon family enveloped by Chaos!

"Flame of Destruction descends, peril lurks on every front in the battlefield!"

Facing the Demon King returning from Demon City to the frontlines, Kassen Skullcrusher, fearing punishment, did not surrender but instead went further down the path of error! Under the influence of Calmandes and his servants, he invoked the Flame of Destruction avatar and the arrival of the Chosen of the Destructor through an evil ritual, attempting to harness the destructive forces from beyond to topple the rule of the Demon King!

It was a burning sun, radiating an endless light of destruction. According to eyewitnesses, its temperature could melt rock into magma!

As the evil ritual completed, the entire fifth level of the maze fell under the tyrannical reign of the Flame of Destruction. The scorching blaze instantly engulfed everything on the battlefield, leaving countless warriors to perish in the sea of fire, while the air itself was permeated with despair.

Just when everyone thought all was beyond recovery, the Demon King of the Great Graveyard stepped forward. Under the blessings bestowed by the Demon God, he turned the tide of battle single-handedly!

At his summons, countless tendrils spread downward from the dome, like the hand of a giant tightly grasping the avatar of Calmandes! This feat shook the entire field, buoying the morale of the Demon King's soldiers, while the forces of Chaos were completely stripped of the resilience to resist, fleeing in utter dismay.

"Mastermind slain, Demon King's army triumphs completely!"

After suppressing Calmandes, the Demon King's army pursued the remnants of Kassen Skullcrusher. Shadow Demon General Thanos took action, besieging him in the fissures of the Underground City. Ultimately, this traitor, along with the Chosen of Chaos God, was beheaded by Thanos, their souls bound by Undead Magic and imprisoned within the soul cages of the Great Graveyard, where they await the severe 'Soul Shattering' punishment!

With the closure of the Gate of Chaos, peace was restored to the Underground City. This epic victory once again proved the invincibility of the Demon King's army and shattered the unreal fantasies of all rebels. After the end of the war, the Demon King's army quickly initiated post-war recovery work, and thoroughly sealed the residual energies of the Gate of Chaos, ensuring such events would not recur.

Suburbs of Demon City.

Manor of the Dragon family.

Seated in the spire's study, Carm lightly held the newspaper, his expression as somber as the deep, inscrutable waters.

Throughout the report, the presentation of the Dragon family was mostly positive, with all blame piled upon the head of an ogre named Kassen Skullcrusher.

This should have been cause for celebration.

However, thinking of the costly price, he simply could not find joy.

Witnessing the master's mood, the servant tiptoeing into the room with a cup of tea dared not take a deep breath, carefully placing the tea on the table before hastily exiting the room.

Almost as soon as he stepped out, as he gently closed the door behind him, the sound of a shattering teacup drifted out from the room.

His heart skipped a beat, and he quickened his pace to leave the place.

As he passed a corner in the corridor, he happened upon several servants standing by the window, furtively whispering among themselves.

"Have you read the newspaper?"

"I have, but I don't understand, what does this have to do with the Dragon family?"

Hearing something of interest from the murmuring voices, the servant who had just left the master's room couldn't help but slow down his steps.
