Chapter 1017: Chapter 427: The Demon’s Doctrine of Victory_2

Slightly tilting his head, he looked at the mortal deity before him, who was much smaller than a demon, barely able to contain the ice-cold greed in his eyes.

The thunder god of the mortal realm… What delectable sustenance.

The uninvited guest had been right; this was indeed his greatest tonic.

If he could obtain this power, it would fill the void of his origin power… However, with the delicacy before him, the Demon Prince had no choice but to restrain his own desires.

This was not the true body, just an incarnation of the mortal deity. Plus, the origin of a deity cannot be forcibly stripped away… Even as the laws of the present world became more stringent and the origin power repeatedly faded, now, even if the deities themselves were willing to help, stealing divine authority had become increasingly difficult.

“Not at all.”

Repeating again, the Demon Prince said half-smilingly: “According to what it told me, you are indeed the god who wields thunder in the mortal realm.”

“Although the Power of Demon God I command is mighty, there actually isn’t much authority or source power related to the Thunderbolt… so my thunder and lightning could never really harm you, unless I also utilize the inherent power of the Abyssal Demon Lord, inclined towards Chaos and Destruction.”

In the distant sky, dark thunderclouds surged downward.

The Interface Power that dominates a realm spontaneously gathers at his side, shielding its master.

With a humanoid body and eagle wings, hands like sharp talons, surrounded by Thunder Fire, wielding a long spear.

Soaring through the sky of [862-11-Thunder Pool], the Demon Prince flew swiftly to his next target, striking dead a demon tainted with the Lord Seal with a casual bolt of lightning.

Towering several stories high, in the center of his forehead, a solitary eye shimmering silver ceaselessly scanned the earth, before which nothing could hide.

As one of the Abyssal Demon Lords, the Demon Prince undoubtedly possessed an appearance different from the mortal deities. Yet, unlike his kin, this Lord also retained a somewhat human-like form in many aspects.

Because of this appearance, many Demon Gods had mocked his ‘weakness’, but unexpectedly, the Mother of Demons dwelling deep in the Abyss seemed to quite appreciate it.

Naturally, regardless, once the Demon Prince displayed his overwhelming strength, no one dared to argue with him anymore.

“Crack—”

Approaching another entity with a Lord’s aura, the Demon Prince casually unleashed another bolt of lightning, showing no intention of identifying the target.

However, unlike before, when this bolt of thunder struck down, a surge of Power of Demon God abruptly rose, effectively blocking the attack.

“Hmm?”

“This seems to be… a seal to conceal identity.”

From extreme speed to a halt in a moment, proud in the sky, the Demon Prince beheld the house where the Power of Demon God had risen, his forehead eye gleaming.

If the other party hadn’t acted, he might have been deceived.

But since there was interference, even obscured by the Lord Seal, the Demon Prince could still see the True God Power hidden beneath the Demon God’s strength.

Orderly and harmonious, yet utterly incompatible with the Abyss. Moreover, that divine power also bore remarkably conspicuous Thunder.

“The thunder god of the mortal realm, it actually did not deceive me… Hahaha…”

With a wide grin, the Demon Prince ceased his attack.

The wings of an eagle fluttered behind him, rapidly descending his form.

At that moment near the ground, the Divine King’s incarnation was full of annoyance and regret.

Just a little bit more, just a tiny bit more.

He had thought that this unique Abyss Lord, even if harboring ill-intent, would at least confirm his identity before taking action, but he hadn’t expected the other to strike immediately.

Divine power surged within him, at this instant, Zeus was prepared to abandon this incarnation.

After all, he was the King of All Gods, and if he chose to burn everything of this incarnation, then his true self in the mortal realm could use it as guidance to retrieve the consciousness of his incarnation.

Only pitying the wasted Origin Power of the Alien Deity… With a gravely serious face, Zeus was about to act.

But in the next moment, the Demon God descending from above seemed not to continue the action, instead, it converged its power and landed on the surface of the Earth.

“…Unprovoked aggression, what is your intention, sir?”

“Could it be that your earlier command was merely a joke, hence the sudden change, sir?”

After a moment of silence, Zeus was somewhat uncertain about the other’s intentions.

But whatever the case, if he could avoid the worst-case scenario, the Divine King would naturally prefer to do so.

Thus with caution in his heart, Zeus took the lead in questioning the newcomer.

“Attacking for no reason?

“Hahahahaha…”

“A deity from an alien realm, you brazenly defy my commands, forcefully break out of my city, and now you have the audacity to question me?”

“It seems that the gods of the mortal realm and the Abyss are not so different after all. We care not for those so-called reasons, only for the strength of our own fists, hahahahaha…”

With a hearty laugh, the Demon Prince’s three eyes scrutinized Zeus as if appraising goods.

Yes, that’s right, the Mother of Demons will be pleased… Thinking of this, the Demon God acted without hesitation.

With a wave of his large hand, an invisible force landed on Zeus, attempting to carry him up into the sky.

“Come, go with me.”

“You are the one I’ve been looking for, it seems it did not deceive me.”

“Alien deity, you should know what I want from you. For now, come back with me to the ‘Thunder Pool’.”

Boom——

A short and intense vibration occurred as the power of the Demon Prince collided with Zeus’s instinctive resistance, easily breaking through the latter’s defense.

Struggling flashed in the eyes of the incarnated Divine King, as it’s something he would never tolerate under normal circumstances.

But now a great ally might be awaiting him ahead, and the rewards from this trip haven’t been fully dealt with yet.

After much hesitation, until he was carried by that force into the torn spatial rift, Zeus ultimately did not resist.

‘Just endure a little longer, these lowly lives of the Abyss have always been so rude; there’s no need to fuss over them…’

‘All this is for a greater good. When I unify the world in the future, there will be plenty of time to settle scores with these wretched demons.’

Comforting himself with these thoughts, Zeus’s mood returned to calm.

After so many years, he was no longer the god he used to be.

Such trivial matters truly meant nothing.

“Where are you taking me?”

“The ‘Thunder Pool’… Isn’t this realm itself the [Thunder Pool]?”

“Moreover, your actions earlier, regardless of your reasons, would have gotten anyone else killed instantly by your hand—”

“—That wouldn’t happen.”

Traveling through the void by leveraging the authority of the interface, the Demon Prince interrupted Zeus with a laugh.

Tilting his head slightly, he stared at this deity from the mortal realm who was so much shorter than a demon, barely able to contain the coldness and greed in his eyes.

The Thunder God of the mortals… what a delicious morsel.

The uninvited guest was right, this was indeed his greatest source of nourishment.

If only he could obtain his power, the emptiness of his Origin could be filled… Yet with the feast right before him, the Demon Prince had to restrain his own desire.

This was not the true form; this was merely an incarnation of the deity. Furthermore, it was impossible to forcefully strip away the Origin of a divine being… Even with the tightened Laws of the current world and the repeated loss of Origins, it’s exceedingly difficult to usurp Divine Authority, even if the deity himself is willing to aid.

“That wouldn’t happen.”

Repeating the words with a mocking smile, the Demon Prince said, “According to the information it gave me, you are the God wielding thunder in the mortal realm.”

“The Power of the Demon God I command is indeed mighty, but the Source Power related to the [Thunderbolt] that I possess is actually quite limited… So my thunder and lightning couldn’t really do anything to you, unless I also use the inherent Power of the Abyssal Demon Lord that leans towards [Chaos][Destruction].”

“It?”

Taking over the conversation, Zeus paid attention to nothing else.

Indeed, just like the Demon God said, he could not possibly be so easily killed by the opponent’s thunder.

The reason he mentioned it was also just to hint subtly
