Ron subdued the Balrog, and as he looked around, he saw the various demons displaying all sorts of behaviors.
He was truly immersed in the role.
Those in high positions disdain the attitudes of these low-level demons!
Even as the divine power created by the false miracle gradually faded, Ron still snorted coldly in front of all the demons.
Proceed straight ahead to the Demon Lord's residence.
Along the way, the massive size of the Balrog cleared the path, and all the demons they encountered showed awe and reverence!
The Abyss's rules of conduct dictate that the strong are supreme, possessing everything, completely unlike the human race, which also has various noble titles and ranks.
Now, the weaker, lower-ranking demons all retreated in fear, and halfway there, they had already reached the center of the demon lord's guard.
Ron transmitted his voice to the Flame Demon: "Give the order: during this period, only entry is permitted, no exit is allowed, and the divine will must not be revealed!"
"Understood, Master."
The Flame Demon immediately turned around and gave orders to his subordinates.
Unlike when he spoke with Ron and his subordinates, Balrog spoke only in demonic language.
Only some high-ranking or higher demons can speak multiple languages. Even within the Flame Demon Guard, there are still many who cannot understand the common language of the human continent.
Ron didn't care; he could use telepathy to communicate with those low-level demons in case he needed them.
After the previous false miracle, even the low-ranking demons present had no choice but to obey Ron, to the point that they followed him without question. It was divine will! Even the demons of the abyss were far too terrified of the demon god.
After a while, Ron calmly took the initiative and entered the demon lord's rough castle.
Although the Demon City has little furniture and the houses are not particularly exquisite, it is still quite grand. The Demon Lord still commands a considerable number of enormous demons.
From Ron's perspective, this castle was comparable in size to the largest palace in the small kingdom.
The Balrog's dwelling place is filled with lava exposed on the ground, and even the walls of the house are surrounded by flames.
It's so hot. This is definitely not a place for humans. This also shows how strong the demon lord's physique is.
Generally speaking, it takes several human warriors to be comparable to a demon of the same rank.
It is shaped by the environment, and it happens naturally.
The abyss's harsh environment has made demons far more resilient than humans. Fortunately, the human world is also far ahead in terms of magical weapons.
Regarding demon ranks, from inferior demons to low, medium, and high-ranking demons, demon lords, demon kings, and demon gods.
Among them, the strength of demon lords and demon kings can vary greatly, just like on the human side, where the strength of different individuals at the master level and legendary level differs greatly.
Humans have the concept of "Master Realm Venerables" in private, who belong to the same Master Realm. Legendary figures are also known by titles such as "Domain Legendary."
The term "demon god" includes demigods of the demon race, and the differences between demigods are even greater.
As one progresses further, even minor differences in elemental strength are often calculated based on thousands or even hundreds of years of cultivation, making it impossible to categorize them into ten levels of strength like formal elemental professionals.
Ron was overjoyed to see that the Balrog had the potential to advance to the legendary level of a demon king. Without a peerless genius, it would be a sure thing to defeat a human master in a one-on-one fight. It was truly wonderful.
Ron climbed to the top and stopped sitting in the Balrog's seat. There was lava right under the giant bed, so he didn't want to burn his butt!
"Tell your master, did your former master participate in the invasion of the Gus world?"
The ancient world is the name of the original world; this information comes from the guidance of the tree spirit when we arrived.
Why is the world named? It's because of the distinctions. Why are they distinguished? It's because of the multiple worlds. At that time, Ron had already deduced part of the truth about the multiverse.
Simply listen to the Flame Demon's answer.
“Master, the Thunder Domain King has indeed issued a summons, but my forces are insufficient…”
After listening for a while, Ron understood that it was because the Flame Demon was not developing properly, and it lacked enough cannon fodder demons under its command, so the Thunder Domain Demon King did not want to serve it.
So, is it true that a lightning-type demon king is involved?
Ron remained calm for a long time before finally saying, "Do you know how many demons are involved?"
"The Flame Demon is unaware!"
"Do you have any little demons among your men who know the way?"
"Yes, yes, Master..."
At this point, the Balrog seemed to have higher expectations of human intelligence, yet also seemed somewhat hesitant.
"Speak! What are your thoughts? Your master will be leaving soon, so speak up while you can!"
At this moment, Balor, the Balrog, surprisingly showed a fawning attitude...
Unfortunately, the two crooked teeth made the already horrible face even more repulsive.
Ron frowned slightly: "Speak quickly if you have something to say."
"I, the Flame Demon, have already pledged allegiance to the Sword Demon God, who far surpasses the Thunder Domain King. I wonder if he can offer me, the Flame Demon, his protection!"
"Understood. You may leave now. I will discuss this with my lord and give you an answer before I leave!"
"Yes, Master."
The Balrog respectfully withdrew from the Demon Castle, its massive size causing a slight tremor in the ground.
Ron was used to it; that's just how things are these days.
After all the demons had temporarily left, Ron immediately made a mental connection with the tree spirit.
Since Ron's soul fluctuations couldn't be hidden from the tree spirit, Ron directly asked via telepathy.
"Lord Tree Spirit, why do you possess dark magic? Could it be that a deity from the elven pantheon has already infiltrated the abyss, and could perhaps offer some protection to the Flame Demon?"
"Humans are more cunning than elves." The simple echo from the tree spirit confirmed Ron's suspicions. Good heavens!
Just listen quietly.
He received a two-word reply: "Okay."
Ron was relieved. Just as he suspected, no wonder they wanted him to subdue the demon lord.
After hearing just a few words from the other party, Ron confirmed his deduction. He then considered that since the Drow elves were involved in the Tree Spirit's injury last time, it meant that there was more than one hidden god in the Elven pantheon.
It's quite possible that a certain elven demon god, who had already seemingly fallen, has completely succumbed to the abyss!
Ron wisely stopped asking and instead said, "Don't forget to help with a dimensional marker."
There was no reply, so Ron assumed the tree spirit had heard him.
The World Tree Spirit is a much older version of the Elf God, and thus, before the Elf God became a god, he still had to call the Ancestral Tree Mother.
The heartbreak must be even greater! A childlike spirit or demon might betray you.
With a hint of concern for others, Ron ended the brief mental exchange and walked out of the Demon Castle.
The Balrog and his demon guard stood silently to one side.
"My lord agrees. Balrog, you should hasten the development of your territory. When you return to the realm, I may be able to bring you sacrifices to enhance your strength... and also..."
With a series of instructions, Ron had already envisioned a long-term development in a short time, now it all depended on whether this Balrog could live up to expectations.
It turns out that Ron, the best in the world, has no enemies; otherwise, it seems his Balrog would have benefited.
In case of unforeseen circumstances, the Flame Demon's territory could serve as a fallback, a possible escape to other dimensional worlds! Or perhaps the Tree Spirit, with its godlike wisdom, has also considered this possibility.
Forget it, we shouldn't overthink things about powerful beings like gods.
After Ron finished speaking, the Balrog thanked him profusely.
It seems the Demon Lord's life has been saved, but the Flame Demon Lord certainly doesn't want to be electrocuted by the Thunder King.
"Alright, choose one of your men to lead the way, and be quick!"
