Game of the World Tree - Chapter 587

587. Chapter 585 Demon Lord Baal

The Endless Abyss, the first layer of the seven layers of hell.

This is a world that is always wrapped in darkness and red. The sky is always covered by thick black clouds. Only the red light emitted by the boiling lava on the surface illuminates the entire plane.

Demons of all sizes live in the plane, breeding, killing, devouring, growing, dying… repeating this cycle all the time.

This is a world that is countless times more chaotic and evil than the Underdark.

However, although the demons are evil and chaotic, there is also a basic order in the chaos.

This order is divided by the strength of the demons.

Like other ordinary abyssal planes, the hell plane has also formed its own pyramid system of demon rule.

Usually, at the top of the plane are the demons and evil gods, and below them are the demon monarchs whose strength has reached the legendary level.

Under the demon monarchs, there are demon lords of all sizes, and each demon lord has the strength of the gold rank.

The demon lords are the bottom of the demon ruling class, with either a vast or narrow sphere of influence.

They and the demon lords are all upper demons, and below them are ordinary demons.

Ordinary demons are divided into big demons and small demons. Among them, big demons are all silver-level, and are the vanguard of the demon army.

The small demons are all black iron-level, also known as inferior demons. They are considered the main force and servants of the demon army, or cannon fodder…

As for below the small demons, there are the lowest-level abyss worms.

They don’t even have the qualifications to be cannon fodder, and can only be food.

In the abyss plane, except for the upper demons and those demons that use the power of the abyss to pollute other creatures and cause other creatures to mutate… All other small demons and big demons are evolved from abyss worms.

Abyss worms are not only food for demons, but also their origin.

However, without the intervention of demons or evil gods, or other external forces, it is difficult for abyss worms to evolve into upper demons and above.

Most upper demons are the descendants of upper demons and upper demons, or other creatures of the same level that have fallen.

It is worth mentioning that there are almost no demons with the strength of demigods.

This is not only because it is difficult for demons to cross the mythical level, but also because of the suppression of evil gods and demons.

Among them, the seven layers of hell are because the origin of its plane is integrated with the seven demons,

and the seven demons do not allow the birth of demons with demigod strength. The other abyssal planes are because every demon who reaches the strength of a demigod will be swallowed by the evil gods who dominate the plane-they will not allow the existence that may threaten them to appear.

Only those lucky guys will eventually grow from demons to evil gods.

And more evil gods are actually the positive gods who have been infected by the power of the abyss and fallen.

So… except for the evil gods and demons who rarely appear, the demon monarch is the top ruler of the abyss plane.

Baal is such a demon monarch.

He has been fighting with other demon monarchs in the first layer of hell for thousands of years.

The lifespan of demons is limited, but unlike other lives, as long as demons continue to devour new lives, they can seize the vitality of the opponent, and in theory they can even be immortal.

Therefore… although Baal only has the power of the peak of legend, his lifespan is even longer than many ancient dragons.

In fact, for many demon monarchs, it is not the limitation of life span that threatens their lives, but the war with other demon monarchs and the malice from the evil gods and demon gods above.

However, Baal is lucky.

The real ruler of the first layer of the abyss plane, the seventh demon god Azazel, who controls the earth fire, lust (harmony) desire and goat-horned demons, has been sealed in the world of Segos by the righteous gods for ten thousand years.

During these ten thousand years, it was like a paradise for the demon monarchs of the first layer of the abyss plane.

Without the constraints of the demon gods, they can start wars at will, expand their power at will, and even fight for the possibility of further progress.

In addition, Baal himself is also a powerful demon monarch.

So… during the long time that Azazel was sealed, no one could defeat him in the plane.

During these thousand years, he continued to lead demon lords of all sizes in the first layer of hell to fight other demon monarchs, killing and devouring demons of the same level one after another, and the territory he ruled continued to grow like a snowball.

Now… he is already the most powerful demon monarch in the first layer of the Abyss, and he is only one step away from being a demigod. More than one-third of the entire plane has become his dominance.

But this is already the limit.

Although Baal is powerful, he is only one after all.

When other demon monarchs unite to fight him, he can no longer move forward.

Of course, because demons are selfish and short-sighted, chaotic and evil.

Never expect them to truly unite.

Even demon monarchs are actually just controlling their subordinates by fear.

So… even if other demon monarchs unite to fight Baal, they can only be on par with him.

“Humph, just a group of cowardly upper demons, weaklings who prevent me from taking further steps.”

Sitting high on the throne of his demon castle, Baal drank the virgin blood filled with a goat horn, his face full of mockery.

That blood was sacrificed to him by his worshipers in the material world.

As a demon at the peak of legend, although he is not a myth, he also has the ability to accept sacrifices.

Listening to Baal’s words and feeling the terrifying pressure from him, the great and small demons serving below were trembling with fear.

Even the demon steward who had reached the upper level of gold was trembling.

No one dared to say a word.

Baal had a bad temper. If he targeted someone and vented his anger on them, the only outcome would be to be devoured.

Glancing at his trembling subordinates below with contempt, Baal snorted coldly, stood up from the throne, and walked out of the castle.

A blood-red cape fluttered behind him, and his hideous black armor made him look even more terrifying.

Like most ordinary demons in the first plane, Baal’s image was also a typical goat-horned demon.

This was the race dominated by the seventh demon god Azazel. The entire race was actually the offspring of Azazel’s own blood fused with the mother nest of the abyss.

Of course, Azazel’s original intention was not to cultivate offspring, but to create some more convenient cannon fodder and food.

In fact, not all demon monarchs are like Baal, who is a goat-horned demon.

They will evolve into various forms as they devour everything in a mess.

Those who are as pure as Baal are actually a minority.

The reason why Baal did not change his form was not because he worshipped or was loyal to Azazel, but simply because he was brought up by Azazel using his own blood to merge into the body of a inferior demon.

Baal was not grateful for this, but only feared.

He knew that this was not the kindness of the demon god.

The other party just wanted to raise a suitable territory manager and reserve food.

Those demon monarchs with impure blood and strange evolutions are actually much safer than himself.

When he is strong enough, Azazel will certainly devour him without hesitation.

That is why Baal will expand and devour crazily during the period when Azazel was sealed, in order to constantly make himself stronger and escape the final fate.

He firmly believed that when Azazel was sealed, his control over the Hell Plane would inevitably weaken.

And he would definitely be able to rely on constantly devouring other demon monarchs, and then forcefully break through the limitations of the plane and become a true demigod-level demon.

As long as he became a demigod-level demon, he would have the hope of using the power of the law to find the origin of Azazel hidden in the Hell Plane.

And if he found it, relying on his bloodline similar to Azazel’s, he could forcefully devour the core of his godhood hidden there, and he could replace him and become the new seventh demon!

However, Baal thought very beautifully, but the reality was cruel.

Even if Azazel was sealed for ten thousand years, even if Baal devoured one demon monarch after another, he still could not break through the level limit imprisoned in the Hell Plane and become a true demigod-level demon.

Azazel’s control over the Hell Plane was much stronger than he imagined.

And today, Baal finally understood that unless Azazel fell, otherwise… he would never think of going any further and getting rid of the fate of being devoured in the future.

This… is a dead end.

That’s why Baal has been getting more and more irritable recently.

Especially after the news from the Segos world a few years ago that the seventh demon god Azazel was suspected of escaping…

Of course, later on, news came that Azazel had just escaped and was sealed by a new righteous god.

But when Baal heard about this, he didn’t feel relieved at all.

As a subordinate promoted by Azazel, he knew the other party’s strength.

Even if he had been sealed for ten thousand years, a new righteous god would never be his opponent!

Azazel’s priesthood contains underground fire.

As long as he is underground, he will definitely run very fast if he wants to.

Unless a righteous god with the strength of weak divine power takes action, otherwise… don’t think of stopping him.

And a new righteous god?

Not to mention weak divine power, I’m afraid that weak divine power is barely qualified.

Seal?

Haha.

Even if it can be done, it is probably just barely enough.

Now everyone in the endless void doesn’t know that the magic power of the Segos plane is reviving, the plane channel is about to open, and various seals are loosening…

Seal him now?

It’s just a delay.

Unless there is some powerful real artifact suppressing him, or Azazel is directly hammered to the point of death and locked up… Otherwise, it is just a delay.

Again, Baal is not optimistic about the battle between a newborn righteous god and Azazel.

Not to mention, this righteous god is an elf who is deified in the legend.

What kind of personality does an elf have?

Stupid and naive.

Baal does not believe that Azazel will be sealed like this.

He will escape sooner or later.

The time left for Baal is really not much.

However, just when Baal left his castle and was about to fight with the nearby demon lords, a majestic and evil voice suddenly resounded in hell:

“All demon lords in the first layer of hell, listen to my order, respond to my call, and descend to the world of Segos!”

It was the voice of the seventh demon god Azazel.

In an instant, Baal’s pupils shrank.

“This… is the demon god summoning!”

He exclaimed in disbelief.

The demon god summoning is the unique ability of the demon god.

As the master of the plane, the demon god can directly open a plane channel in other planes and summon his own demon army.

If it was ten thousand years ago, it would not be surprising for Bal to receive the summons.

But now Azazel is not only in the world of Segus, where the plane channel has not been completely opened, but He himself is also sealed.

This… is very problematic.

Not to mention, Azazel can actually cross the seal and directly project his voice into the plane of hell.

“Sure enough… He is not completely sealed! And there is actually a way to open the passage to the world of Segus!”

At this moment, Bal felt a sense of panic for no reason.

In fact, Azazel’s voice sounded quite weak.

But the weaker he was, the more frightened Bal felt.

Because this shows that the other party is in urgent need of energy replenishment, and the summoning of the demon monarch is most likely not to meet the enemy…

Maybe it may be necessary to meet the enemy, or to completely break the seal or something.

But He named the demon monarch, and I am afraid that he will also devour some of his subordinates.

And Bal, who is the strongest, is definitely the first choice.

Bal can choose not to go.

But the first layer of hell is so big, there will always be people who obey and go there because of fear of Azazel. In any case… it is inevitable that the other party will escape.

Once Azazel returns, it will be the end of Baal.

In an instant, Baal’s expression changed.

After hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth:

“Isn’t it just the Segos world? Summoning is also an opportunity! I don’t believe that in the Segos world, the Hell Plane can still prevent me from going further!”

Yes, the Hell Plane did imprison his opportunity to go further.

But the Segos world will not.

Leaving the Hell Plane, Baal can theoretically unlock the shackles of fate.

Simply using this summoning to escape from the Hell Plane, escape to the Segos world to hide, and then rely on devouring the creatures of the Segos world to become an evil god, is not a feasible path.

On weekdays, without the permission of the demon god, the demons of the Hell Plane cannot leave the Hell Plane and enter other planes. At most, they are projections.

Only those relatives in the ordinary abyss plane can do it.

But now, the opportunity has come.

If you can successfully escape after being summoned, then… it is also a way!

Unfortunately… if you take this path, you can’t become an immortal demon god.

But, it is also a choice after all.

“Don’t think too much. We have to successfully escape from that person’s eyes.”

Baal said to himself.

Judging from Azazel’s voice, the other party is in a very bad state.

Although he doesn’t know if it is a disguise, Baal now has no choice but to believe it.

And with Baal’s current strength, when facing Azazel, who is weak and the seal has not been released, if he runs with all his strength, it should still be possible…

Thinking of this, Baal looked back at his castle in the hell plane.

The castle is very large and majestic.

The free and easy life here is also very happy.

However…

“This is only temporary freedom. If I want to pursue true freedom, I must be truly independent!”

“It is indeed difficult to give up everything here, but once I successfully sneak into the world of Segos, I will be able to rely on the intelligent races there to build a more beautiful castle of my own and live in a more luxurious palace! And I can drink fresh blood and eat fresh flesh every day!” “

I heard that the elves in the world of Segos are more delicious. If I get there, I must capture many elves, not only to devour them, but also to make them serve me well! Become my toys for entertainment!”

Baal encouraged himself.

There is no demon who doesn’t like the breath of the material world.

For demons, devouring the creatures of the material world and eroding the environment of the material world is their instinct.

With his eyes gradually firm, Baal responded to the call of the demon god:

“I will obey…your wishes.”

A blood-red magic circle gathered under him, emitting a dark red halo.

The next second, Baal’s figure disappeared from the spot.

I was surprised. Today, a reader told me that the World Tree actually appeared in Qidian International. I went to take a look and found that it was indeed the same as in China. Readers were also confused about the gender of the protagonist.
