Chapter 762: Chapter 623: Enemies Unite_2

This was a bloated demon floating mid-air, with a gaping maw full of sharp teeth and numerous eyes of various sizes densely packed together.

This was an Eye Demon, sustaining its body afloat with immense Magic Power, resembling a purple-black decaying jellyfish bristling with tentacles. Among the myriad types of demons, Eye Demons were considered relatively intelligent, often mastering various magics and possessing wisdom beyond that of mortals.

But Eye Demons also had a particularly undesirable racial trait, which was that as they aged, each Eye Demon would come to believe they were the smartest of their kind and would resort to any methods to prove it, including but not limited to betraying their kin, setting traps, and assassination.

Thus, adult Eye Demons were often solitary.

However, even the most arrogant Eye Demon would worship the Mother of Eye Demon, obeying this Demon Lord’s commands without question.

The Eye Demon before them had an extremely high count of eyes and freely bending eye stalks like tentacles, having clearly lived many years, making it one of the high-ranking members of its race.

Maybe if thrown into another Plane, this Eye Demon might have easily committed mass slaughter, but in the presence of Dimogorgen, it could only tremble. Most of its hundreds of eyes were tightly shut, daring not to look the Devil King in the eye.

Dimogorgen extended a tentacle and wrapped it around the Eye Demon, speaking in a voice full of disgust, "You have only one chance to convince me not to crush you into pulp."

Despite being squeezed until its eyes bulged, the Eye Demon calmly said, "I bring a message from the Great Lady for you, my lord Devil King. The Great Lady has found a potential ally; this time, we might manage to kill the newly appointed Archduke of the Devils!"

Both of Dimogorgen’s heads turned and let out roars of varying pitches.

Amur: "With whom is your master collaborating?"

Heislati: "You believe this? Cowards always think about alliance, but it’s unnecessary."

Amur: "Shut up, it’s not your turn to speak!"

...

The two heads argued briefly, but the intellectually superior Amur prevailed, allowing the nearly crushed Eye Demon to explain everything clearly.

Many Demon Lords who regularly partook in blood battles sensed the changes in Hell, and the Mother of Eye Demon was no exception; She too wanted to taste this Archduke of the Devils.

Compared to other Demon Lords, the Mother of Eye Demon’s most distinguishable trait was Her better control over Her emotions. Like Her followers, as long as She wasn’t mixing with Eye Demons of the same rank, She could maintain relatively complete intelligence and not destroy everything around Her due to jealousy and pride.

There was no higher being than this Great Lady among the Eye Demon race, so She could always maintain rational thought.

Joining forces with this Mother of Eye Demon was a sound choice, although Dimogorgen had little interaction with Her; it was unexpected that She would seek him out first.

Furthermore, the Mother of Eye Demon also brought good news.

The newly appointed Archduke of the Devils seemed to have many enemies, who were now joining forces to seek revenge during this opportunity.

Dimogorgen heard several familiar names: Prince of Lies Hircine, Lady of Pain Rowetta, and Evil Dragon Goddess Tiamat.

The symbol of fury, Heislati, couldn’t help but roar, "It’s a trap, you idiot! He’s just a recently promoted mortal, how could he have so many deities as enemies?! If that was true, he’d be dead by now!"

And the symbol of calmness, Amur, slapped Heislati across the face, roaring just as loudly, "You’re the idiot, fool! I’ve told you this mortal’s story before, you just forgot!"

The new Archduke of the Devils was indeed well-known; anyone interested could easily find out everything about him.

Although Dimogorgen’s followers were either dead or mad, it wasn’t difficult to inquire about this, but His chaotic thoughts often led to forgetfulness, especially when He was emotionally agitated. Now hearing these names, the intelligent head Amur remembered.

That mortal known as the Deceiver had indeed done many things astonishing even to the deities.

Hircine, Rowetta, and Tiamat were all victims, so their alliance was not surprising.

At this, both of Dimogorgen’s heads restored unified will and asked the Eye Demon, "What’s the specific plan?"

The Eye Demon took a short breath and then explained, "Hircine will create an opportunity to draw the Devil away from Hell. Please, my lord Devil King, join forces with the Great Lady to kill him in The Abyss!"

It sounded easy, but it was a challenging task.

Deities did not easily leave their Divine Realms, and the Archduke of the Devils had just been appointed; how could he possibly leave Hell to enter the domain of The Abyss? No Archduke of the Devils had ever personally entered The Abyss.

But Dimogorgen did not inquire about the details; He wouldn’t use His true form to enter Hell anyway. It all depended on whether Hircine could achieve this plan. If that Devil indeed ventured out of his domain, Dimogorgen wouldn’t need anyone to remind Him to eagerly chase down this foolish Devil.

If Hircine failed, Dimogorgen would find this Prince of Lies and taste this deity himself.

The Eye Demon added, "Besides, Hircine mentioned that the devils will soon organize a massive counterattack, mostly consisting of Undead Troops. Please be prepared."
