The demons kneeling on the ground looked at each other in disbelief. None of them expected that the Peng Demon King, who was supposed to be dead for sure, would be completely unharmed.
What's most terrifying is that the other party has repeatedly challenged the dignity of the Angel of Envy, and yet he goes unpunished?
Having lived in hell for countless years, they suddenly felt that times had changed and they could no longer understand hell.
Seeing that the Angel of Jealousy was gone, their last hope was lost. The demons hesitated, completely unsure whether they should get up, fearing that a single wrong move would attract the attention of the tyrannical Roc Demon King.
At that moment, a voice mixed with cruel laughter echoed throughout the lava land.
"You two seemed to be having a lot of fun just now?"
Fang Xiu stood in the center of the arena, smiling silently. His cruel and tyrannical eyes slowly swept across the entire arena. Every demon god whose eyes fell upon him tensed up and trembled.
"Tell me, how happy are you?"
Throughout the entire lava land, only Fang Xiu's voice echoed, and no demon dared to respond.
Demons also experience fear; having lost their immortality, they are even weaker than one might imagine.
Tap tap tap...
Light footsteps approached, and Fang Xiu walked up to a Flame Demon.
The fire demon didn't dare to raise its head, trembling all over, and could only see a pair of dark golden shoes appear in its field of vision.
Snap!
The Balrog felt a weight on his shoulder as a large hand landed on it, causing him to tremble even more violently, and the lava surrounding him dimmed.
A deep voice sounded in his ear: "Tell me, did you just laugh?"
The Flame Demon shuddered instantly, feeling an overwhelming terror engulf him, and hurriedly said, "No...no, I absolutely didn't."
"Oh? So you mean I misread it?"
"Yes...no, no, no, it's not true!"
Fang Xiu nodded in satisfaction: "Hmm, you're right. How could I be wrong? I'm always right. So... you did smile?"
"Huh? Ah!!!"
The chilling screams echoed throughout the venue.
The demons present were so frightened that they lowered their heads even further, wishing they could bury their heads in the ground.
"From this day forward, only one voice will exist in the entire Lava Lands, and that voice will be mine! Anyone who dares to disobey me will be killed without mercy! Do you understand?"
"We understand!"
"Praise be to the Great Sage Equaling Heaven!"
Driven by fear, praise resounded to the heavens, even louder than when the angel of jealousy descended.
"There is only one king in the Lava Land! That is you, the great Great Sage Evil!"
Amidst the chorus of praise, a discordant voice rang out, unusually fervent, making it impossible to tell that it was forced.
Fang Xiu looked in the direction of the sound and found a small demon with a body like a dwarf, fleshy wings on its back, and a bald head.
These lesser demons are basically servants in the lava lands. Many demon gods keep some in their territories to do odd jobs or even as food. They are considered to be at the very bottom of hell.
When the little demon saw Fang Xiu cast his gaze, his first reaction was not fear, but rather as if he were being illuminated by some supreme and sacred light. He felt as if his soul was about to be sublimated, so excited that he trembled all over and even talked nonsense.
"Ah! Great Great Sage of Chaos, true king of the Lava Land, your humble servant is actually able to receive a moment's attention from you, sob sob sob... What an unparalleled honor this is!" The little demon sobbed uncontrollably as he spoke.
Watching the little demon's sincere performance, Fang Xiu vaguely saw a familiar shadow in him: "What's your name?"
The little imp was taken aback, seemingly doubting his ears, and pointed at himself with his dirty little finger: "Me?"
Realizing that Fang Xiu was indeed questioning him, he quickly and respectfully replied, "Reporting to the great Great Sage of Chaos, the true king of the Lava Lands, your lowly servant's name is..."
"Never mind, it's not important." Fang Xiu interrupted, "I have no interest in remembering. From today onwards, you will be called Lucifer."
"Thank you, Great Sage..." The little demon was about to express his gratitude when the look of wild joy on his face suddenly froze: "Lucifer...?"
The moment that name appeared, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. It was a name he dared not even mention in private, and now he was to be called Lucifer!?
Calling himself Lucifer in Hell, is he afraid of not dying fast enough?
He thought that by flattering the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, he might gain the favor of him, but he never expected that while he did gain the favor, he would also lose his life.
A madman! This is a complete and utter madman!
In fact, he had already observed that although the Great Sage of Chaos was extremely tyrannical, he basically killed all the demon gods and celestial demon gods who were prominent figures. He had hardly killed any demon gods or lower.
That's why he dared to take a gamble. As a lowly demon, he was the most insignificant being in hell and shouldn't be on the other's menu. If he could win a smile from the Great Sage Evil and gain his attention, he could finally become the master.
Unexpectedly, while they did take it seriously, they took it far too seriously.
"What? You're not willing?" Fang Xiu glanced at him indifferently, and with just that one glance, Lucifer felt his body collapsing.
"Lucifer is willing! Thank you, Master, for bestowing this name upon me! Your generosity is like an inextinguishable fire of hell, illuminating your lowly servant. Lucifer is willing to be loyal to you forever, and may your glory shine throughout hell!" The little demon kowtowed repeatedly in excitement.
"Very good. From today onwards, you will be in charge of all affairs in the Lava Lands, and you will be responsible only to me."
These words caused an uproar in the audience.
Countless demons stared in disbelief at the lowly little demon. No one could have imagined that this mere little demon, the most insignificant being in the entire hell, would one day ride on their heads and become the number two figure in the entire lava land.
While I was incredulous, I felt even more humiliated and angry; it was an utter disgrace.
In the real world, this is like one day suddenly a dog owned by the chairman becomes the general manager, and the people under him serve the dog tea and water, massage its shoulders, and let it urinate and defecate at their workstations.
The little demon in the eye of the storm was also stunned. The excitement and fanaticism on his face gradually turned from fake to real. He immediately slapped himself twice to verify whether he was dreaming. Of course, he could also have thought of trying to attract attention and make the Great Sage Evil laugh.
Fang Xiu took in everyone's anger and knew he had achieved his goal.
He wanted to incite the devil's wrath. If everyone below obeyed him, how could he find fault and eat at the buffet?
You demons think you can endure this? Then let a lesser demon ride on your heads, defecating and urinating, and see how long you can tolerate it.
Today, he is going to tell the whole hell a lesson: what it means to endure for a moment only to see things get worse, and to take a step back only to fall into a bottomless abyss!
