As blood rushed in, his health points surged rapidly, climbing to 10%, and he was out of the near-death state.
Behind him, in the prison, lay a large pile of skeletons covered in dried human skin, their blood and magic drained, and they were completely dead.
"Unfortunately, I arrived too late. The Lord's grand plan has clearly failed; it must have been due to the intervention of the Outer Gods."
Pete, who had awakened his Gluttony bloodline, sighed. Then, his figure transformed into a bolt of lightning and attacked the remaining three. In front of a potential awakener, the three had no power to resist and were slaughtered cleanly.
Afterwards, he snorted coldly, crushed a communication origami crane with one hand, put on a black robe, cleansed himself of the bloodstains, and quickly escaped from the prison.
As he stepped off the stairs and onto the ground, his pupils contracted, and his aura subsided.
The bright red patterns beneath their feet dimmed again, a large magic circle activated, and the flame grass took root, almost getting them discovered.
He pursed his lips and remained silent, disguising his aura as that of an ordinary person, attempting to escape.
The Weeks family is essentially a clan loyal to the Demon God, one of the Great Demon God's backup plans, and is a descendant of a demon.
The purer the bloodline, the higher the combat power unleashed after awakening. After the grand plan succeeded, the Gluttonous Demon King used the methods left behind to awaken the entire family, who, under the leadership of the Demon Lord, became the Demon King's first legion.
Pete, who was sent to Titan City to investigate the cause, possesses extremely high bloodline. If he awakens the Gluttony bloodline and the memories of the demon seed take over his will, his combat power will leap to the strongest, reaching the level of the Tyrant Crocodile.
"I awakened too late. I need to inform the forces in Silverlight City as soon as possible and make plans accordingly."
Pete squinted, his eyes gleaming, and thought to himself.
...
"The destruction of Hailan City makes everyone who escaped from there a suspect."
In the office, Xiao Han tore the fox drawn by the little girl to shreds, while listening to her sobbing and pondering the cause and effect.
"The fact that the allied forces of the three duchies risked the calamity of winter and paid a heavy price to assassinate him cannot be without reason."
"Even the magic cannons have been deployed, yet Constantine City remains completely silent. This means that the enemy we face is the common enemy of all intelligent races: the demons."
"Only the demon race, when the benefits are not significant, can unite all forces against a common enemy and nip the demon race's rise in the bud."
"Otherwise, the four demon kings entrenched in the Central Plains would be a disastrous outcome."
Xiao Han had a flash of inspiration and his thoughts were working quickly.
The allied forces of the three kingdoms did not have a clear objective. The identity of the novice demon king or the sage was not exposed. On the contrary, with the help of the enchanting goddess, he was well hidden.
What was exposed was another demon king.
"Azure City is probably the Gluttony Demon God's backup plan."
Xiao Han murmured, deducing the truth. The little girl sitting on his lap glared at him angrily, gritting her teeth, yet she was incredibly cute.
The gods have countless incarnations. The Gluttonous Demon God who lives in the abyss has at least a dozen, if not a thousand.
The original plan was for Blood Nest to create a Demon King, and then use the chosen Francis as nourishment to parasitize a high-level demon and raise it to adulthood.
But halfway through, the evil goddess intervened, paving the way for the novice demon king. Otherwise, how could a mortal like Francis possibly fight against an omniscient and omnipotent god?
Once the grand plan succeeds, the 100% Gluttony bloodline will awaken, the fifth Demon Lord of Norse mythology will appear, and the backup plans left in the surrounding cities will immediately erupt, enabling the formation of a force no less powerful than Constantine within a single day.
Unfortunately, it's too cold now.
Xiao Han suspected that the gluttonous bloodline in Minnie's body was also the work of the evil goddess.
Otherwise, give him the Life Bracelet, specially designed for Minnie, which he used last night.
Gods are high above, and in their eyes, mortals are nothing more than pawns to be manipulated at will, caught in the game and arranged exactly as they please.
However, the avatar of the Gluttonous Demon God did not expect that the Blue City, which was originally on its way to conquer Titan City, would expose the demon race's whereabouts and be wiped out by the allied forces of the three kingdoms.
Without a doubt, it was the work of the alluring goddess again. With a powerful figure protecting him, the novice demon king was quite moved.
When we meet at the beginning of next month, I must hug her long legs, cry my eyes out, and call her "Mom."
"However, those imprisoned knights are said to be so hungry that they have no strength left, so it's not a big deal."
After thinking it over carefully, Xiao Han channeled his mental energy into the magic circle to probe the other party's condition.
The awkward thing is that because the prison was only recently built and has been under the management of Khrushchev, Xiao Han, as the city lord who has been neglecting his duties, does not know the coordinates of the prison.
Moreover, his all-around perception only works on the ground; it is ineffective in basements and on rooftops. For example, when he was being chased by the Gubang family for carrying a paintbrush with the word "demolish," he escaped by sneaking onto a rooftop.
The next moment, his mental power swept through the entire city of Titan via a magic circle, searching for suspicious locations.
After the search yielded no results, he sipped a cup of tea and decided to let it go, allowing Khrushchev to wipe them out, just like the group of prisoners fighting for slave slots. In reality, they were sent to the crematorium, processed into ashes, and used to fertilize the second batch of cabbages.
"Bang!"
The door was hurriedly opened, and an old man's figure emerged.
"Lord City Lord, something has happened."
Khrushchev looked grim, clearly having encountered some upsetting events, such as being targeted by his colleagues and having his subordinates stripped of their positions.
Just as Khrushchev was about to speak, he suddenly caught sight of the little girl sitting on the city lord's lap, and his eyes went blank for a moment.
