Thrantia's whispers, like the flick of a viper's tongue, continued to ignite the demon's bloodlust:
"Their souls and flesh will be the perfect offerings to please the abyss!"
Campbell and Langustu also focused their attention and prepared to coordinate with the Demon God's projection to completely tear apart Mark's team and that damned spatial blockade.
A dozen or so demonic gazes, imbued with the will to destroy, swept towards Ellen, Mark, Enzo, Monica, and the inconspicuous pink slime on Mark's shoulder, following the direction indicated by Farion.
Time seemed to stretch out for a moment.
The Ice Crystal Giant Lizard Demon God's vertical pupils, which were originally burning with cold arrogance, suddenly shrank to the size of a pinhead the moment they touched Mark's figure!
"Master Chef?!" An incredulous spiritual wave emanated from the Poison Ivy Tree Demon God beside it, whose vines were swirling wildly!
"Abyss Demon God Chef?!" The Abyss Octopus Lord, its eight tentacles flailing wildly, focused all its compound eyes on Mark. Its chaotic whispers instantly turned into a resounding confirmation, "And the rest of the kitchen helpers?!"
Just as Farion was about to reiterate the threat that "sacrifice" posed to the demons of the abyss, he suddenly choked on his words. The eye pattern under his cloak flashed wildly, and an ominous premonition instantly gripped him.
Serantia's teasing whisper caught in her throat, and Campbell and Langustu instantly tensed up.
The demons' reaction completely exceeded their expectations!
Why do I feel like they know each other?
Mark raised his head, a seven-colored black light swirling in his eyes, and like a chef scrutinizing an uninvited helper, calmly nodded to the three-headed mid-level demon god:
"Ice crystals, poison ivy, octopus? What a coincidence. It seems you weren't satisfied with the payment last time?"
Enzo grinned, excitedly weighing the rune-forged hammer in his hand. His large, bell-like eyes swept over the frost-covered, thick forelimbs of the Ice Crystal Giant Lizard, and a booming voice rang out:
"Giant lizard! You don't think you didn't eat enough last time, do you? Now that you're here in person, you want to turn yourself into a meal for your companions, don't you?!"
Monica's figure flickered in and out of the shadows. The [Domain of Insight] silently swept over the demons, and a cold voice rang out:
"The foreleg meat of the Ice Crystal Giant Lizard is firm, with a good balance of fat and lean, and is rich in abyssal magic, making it suitable for soup base."
"The Poison Ivy Tree Demon God Symbiotic Demon Mushroom and the Octopus Lord's Tentacles are all suitable for hot pot. It seems that all the demon gods can start a new menu."
Listening to Monica's words, the many demons seemed to see the scene they had witnessed before at the border of the Abyss Demon Realm, when Monica commanded them to easily dismember and dissect one demon after another.
But what if it were them who were dismembered...?
If this had happened before they met Mark and the others, any human who dared to speak to them like that would have met a terrible end!
But now, their bodies are filled with seven-colored black magical power!
boom--!
The demons' will instantly transformed into a rage that had been manipulated!
"Damn it!!" The Ice Crystal Giant Lizard Demon God abruptly turned to Farion, his azure vertical pupils blazing with icy fury, his voice shaking the very barriers of space. "How dare you use the name of the Abyss Codex to treat us as swords, wielding them against Your Excellency the Head Chef?! You are desecrating the Abyss's covenant!"
The contract it spoke of was a contract unique to them, these demon gods, made after enjoying the delicacies cooked with the magic of the seven-colored black light.
The four poor wise men had no idea about any pact between demons and gods.
"Sowing discord! Their intentions are despicable!" The Poison Ivy Tree Demon God's thousands of vines rose up like venomous snakes, pointing at the four members of the Enlightenment Society, miasma churning around them. "Your Excellency the Head Chef is a noble gourmet of the Abyss. How dare you ants plot against him? Are you trying to cut off our path to advancement?!"
Mark's cooking can harmonize the magic of the abyss, making it invaluable to these demons.
"Tear them apart! Prove our sincerity to the head chef!"
The Abyss Octopus Lord's dozen or so tentacles thrashed wildly, stirring up demonic energy, and instantly locked onto Serantia and Langustu, whose expressions had changed drastically.
The once menacing army of projected abyssal demons instantly had their positions reversed 180 degrees!
The chaotic abyssal demonic energy no longer impacted Ellen's spatial barrier. Instead, guided by the will of the demon gods, it surged like a roaring tidal wave, carrying a violent ferocity of being fooled, and fiercely swept towards the four members of the Enlightenment Society in the center!
Ice crystal breath freezes paths, poisonous vines pierce the void, corrosive tentacles entwine and strangle...
Even though the power of the projected attack from more than a dozen demon gods was weakened due to the cross-realm conflict, its momentum and the law power it contained were enough to make any legend tremble!
"No!! Have you all gone mad?! He is your enemy!"
Farren's eyes were bloodshot, the eye pattern on his cloak bloodshot from the magical backlash and horror.
He frantically activated the projection of the Abyss Scripture, attempting to construct a defense and regain control of the Demon God.
However, the power of the Holy Scripture projection was already minimal after being summoned. Now, under the backlash of the wills of more than a dozen demon gods of the same origin, the pages of the book flipped wildly, and the vertical pupils flickered erratically, almost spiraling out of control!
Serantia's mental screams attempted to soothe and command the demon god, but were instantly torn to shreds by the demon god's more violent will. The backlash caused him to groan, and blood seeped from under his hood.
Langustu's silent force field was as thin as paper in the face of the chaotic will and physical attacks of the demon god level.
Cambane's face turned deathly pale, and the spiritual threads protecting the Elven Heart fluctuated violently, almost collapsing.
Just as the four members of the Enlightenment Society were overwhelmed by the demon god's betrayal and frenzied attack, suffering a backlash of magic and experiencing a violent mental shock—
"Pfft!"
From the shadows beside Farion, a bone wrist spike wrapped in shadow magic suddenly thrust out without warning!
The target was his arm, which was gripping the collapsing projection of the Abyss Scripture!
Monica's Shadow Backstab was timed perfectly and fatally!
"Hmph!" A cold snort seemed to ring in everyone's ears.
At the critical moment, an exquisite doll-like arm, carved from some gray material and connected by silver threads at the joints, mysteriously emerged from the void and precisely blocked the blade of the bone dagger!
clang!
A piercing clang of metal clashing rang out!
Sparks flew everywhere!
The doll's arm had several fingers severed by Monica's full-force attack, but it did manage to slow it down for a moment!
"Puppeteer!" Ellen's starry eyes narrowed, instantly locking onto a spatial node in the distance that was fluctuating violently.
The Star and Moon Chains lunged forward like a living venomous snake!
But the figure retreated immediately after the attack, showing no intention of lingering in battle.
Almost simultaneously, the space on the other side shattered silently, like fragile glass!
A figure shrouded in a wide gray robe and exuding an icy aura suddenly appeared.
He held in his hands a strange crystal covered in cracks and flowing with starlight. The fragments were trembling violently, emitting chaotic spatial fluctuations that directly shattered the spatial sealing array that Ellen had set up.
He is the "Oracle" who obtained the Heart of the Star!
