"Damn it!"
"How could I, the Lord of the Abyss, fall into the hands of you insignificant ants?"
The fearsome demon king roared in frustration, wishing he could beat Norton and the others to death.
Without Landy's permission, he couldn't even blink his eyes now!
Realising this, the fearsome Demon King seethed with rage and almost lost control of himself.
As a descendant of the noble Hell True Demon.
He could die in battle, be killed, be defeated.
But he could never become someone else's slave!
Under the onslaught of anger and fear, it mobilised all its mental strength to desperately resist the oppression of the Disaster Mark.
If this continues, it will completely become someone else's slave!
"What should I do? I absolutely cannot be enslaved by others!"
The terrifying Demon King was both afraid and angry, a rare trace of panic appearing in his heart.
For thousands of years.
In the name of fear, he intimidated his enemies.
As the ruler of billions of evil demons in the identity of the Lord of the Abyss.
He always appeared to other demons and believers as the menacing and arrogant Fearsome Demon King.
But only it knew that it wasn't an evil demon of the Abyss, nor did it belong to this world!
It had witnessed a greater and more glorious world, personally witnessed the supreme destructive power of the True Demons of Hell.
In his eyes.
Whether it was an evil demon from the Abyss or the will of the magical world, they were just a bunch of ignorant yokels!
But even with all their knowledge and experience, they were helpless against the Mark of Catastrophe at this moment!
"This mark is too strange, it doesn't seem like the design of Emong and the will of the magic world, who could be plotting against me?"
"Could it be that He and Emong worked together to create this dark curse?"
"No, that's impossible."
The fearsome demon king shook his head.
Such a mysterious power could even enslave the gods.
If the other side really had such a powerful curse, they wouldn't have tolerated it for so long.
"Could it be the work of a foreign power?"
The Fearsome Demon King's eyes flickered, his head almost smoking, unable to find an answer.
But definitely.
He regarded the mastermind behind all this as an archenemy with an unparalleled threat level!
Even above Emong and the will of the magical world!
...
"What's going on?"
Wang Peng was puzzled, not understanding why Norton was suddenly attacking the Fearsome Demon King.
And how did the Fearsome Demon King, who had just been extremely arrogant, suddenly break through their defences?
"A simulator intervened," Zheng Xiaonan said confidently.
She was so sure for three reasons.
Firstly, someone had picked up an emergency mission.
Second, Norton had only stunned them, not killed them.
Third, combined with what the fearsome Demon King had revealed earlier, Norton and the others were merely puppets controlled by someone.
From these clues, it could be deduced.
A simulator had quietly manipulated all the original members of the Organisation before Megan's arrival.
That person had been careful, hidden in the shadows, never revealing their true identity!
"Wait, are you saying that someone has been orchestrating this from the beginning?"
Wang Peng gasped, finding it hard to believe.
Why, even as a simulator, was this person so extraordinary?
"They've been planning for a long time, they definitely have an agenda!" Zheng Xiaonan looked at Norton and the others, gradually forming an insane speculation.
From Megan and Norton's words, it was easy to deduce.
They had gathered here to welcome the arrival of the fearsome Demon King.
But knowing that, this person still dared to attack the original secret organisation.
"In other words, in this person's plan, the ninth rank Dark Alchemist Megan and even the Fearsome Demon King are his prey?"
The thought of this possibility made Zheng Xiaonan's scalp tingle.
"No! That is absolutely impossible!"
Zheng Xiaonan thought in fear and rejected this speculation.
If this speculation was true, then this person's means, thoughts, and patience were terrifyingly meticulous and tolerant, chilling to the bone!
At the same time, Zheng Xiaonan couldn't help but be curious.
The mastermind behind all this, daring to treat Megan and the fearsome Demon King as prey, showed confidence and assurance.
But on what basis?
They were all from the same batch of simulators, with similar growth times.
Even if they were exceptionally talented, it was impossible for them to reach the strength of ninth-rank mages or even tenth-rank demons in such a short time, was it not?
And this mastermind had never shown up during the whole process!
Until now.
Even the terrifying Demon King, who had fallen victim to the plan, didn't know who the mastermind behind the scenes was!
Such incredible means were simply beyond comprehension!
"How could someone have such terrifying means and cunning?"
As a princess heir, Zheng Xiaonan was unusually shaken.
She considered herself talented, and she had seen many geniuses.
She had even encountered those super freaks who could reach the SSS level of simulation.
But they couldn't compare to the mastermind behind this!
In just over a decade, he had grown to be the pinnacle of power in this world.
What kind of concept was this?
Even the legendary SSS-level talent could not surpass this, right?
At that moment.
Her curiosity about the mastermind behind the scenes had reached its peak.
In comparison.
Even the success or failure of this simulation seemed insignificant.
However, neither Zheng Xiaonan nor the Fearsome Demon King knew that the mastermind they were speculating about.
was nothing more than a weak, helpless skeleton.
"The Fearsome Demon King can actually resist the enslaving effect of the Deadly Plague? It seems that his background is not simple," Landy thought.
Since the beginning of the simulation.
He had enslaved millions of Deathly Plague thralls.
Of all of them, only Lucia could temporarily resist the power of the Plague.
However, Lucia was a minor at the time and hadn't activated her bloodline.
For the Abyssal Demon Clan.
The stronger the bloodline, the longer the period of infancy.
Many pure-blooded demon descendants took thousands of years to reach adulthood.
Doesn't that mean...
Lucia's bloodline strength was not inferior to that of the Fearsome Demon King, and she could possibly grow to the level of a demigod in the future?
To think about it.
Landy began to pay more attention to Lucia.
At the same time, he thought about how to extract all the value from the Fearsome Demon King.
Two thousand years ago, the Undead Emong had put an end to the chaotic era of gods and demons coexisting.
All divine beings had been injured or killed, and no new gods had ever been born.
But the terrifying Demon King not only had a mysterious origin, he was also a true tenth-rank demigod!
It was far more valuable than the Philosopher's Stone.
Even a small part of it would be invaluable to Landy!
At the same time.
Hints from the Will of the Heavens also followed.
