"Young Demon God, it’s an honor to meet you. We have all been waiting for your arrival. Please allow us to notify the higher-ups regarding your arrival." A demon commander clasped his hands in respect.
"Good, notify them." Ely stepped down from Noir’s back and answered with a nod.
"Hmm~ Ancient demons want to build a new civilization here? Not too bad. There is a lot of death qi and demonic energy hidden here." Sylvia looked right and left.
She could see thousands of ancient demons planting trees to create a vast dark forest. The ancient demons also built a great fortified city.
Then, the nearby dark abyss. It split the land between the Human Realm and the Demon Realm. Celestia’s sword slash almost killed her.
The abyss was about five hundred meters wide and spanned thousands of kilometers. Somehow, it reminded her of the dark abyss in the Artificial Hell Realm.
"..." The demon commander glanced at the devil girl with a somewhat complicated feeling. This devil girl once opposed the Young Demon God, but she was currently with the Young Demon God.
Nevertheless, he had to inform the higher-ups first.
When the demon commander took out a magic item from his storage pouch, Ely suddenly spoke. "Tell them to meet me at the Nightmare Clan’s north military base."
"Affirmative!" The demon commander saluted.
After that, Ely got back on Noir’s back, then they entered the Ancient Night Secret Realm.
As soon as they passed through the ancient gate, the realm suppressed them to the 3rd Rank, but Ely’s anti-debuff talisman nullified the debuff.
"Does this secret realm also have a realm core? Also, who could possibly be its owner?" Ely checked her surroundings with her Sacred Vision.
However, she didn’t get any clue. There was also no root-like energy flows in the air like in the Artificial Hell Realm.
"There definitely is, and each secret realm’s rules differ. The mini world... the secret realm, once belonged to a God or an Immortal. Whether they are still alive or already dead, their mini world and inheritance shall remain, whether ownerless or not." Yuuki expressed her understanding regarding the secret realm.
"So it’s like that..." Ely nodded in understanding.
On second thought, countless Gods and Immortals died in the world destruction. This terrible incident also occurred twice before the current Planet Quadtria was formed.
It was a combination of three worlds. Regarding the catastrophe’s cause, everything was still a mystery.
"Never mind." Ely pushed the thought out of her mind. She didn’t need to bother with the problem because it had nothing to do with her.
As for the current matter, she wished to tie up the loose end and settle the deal with the ancient demons. There was also a case related to the God of Poison.
"Master, do you also have a mini world?" Jophiel suddenly asked with great curiosity.
"This... I think I have one or two." Ely wasn’t sure whether she could call her inner space and subspace her mini world. The former was like a mysterious realm, but the latter was like a storage space. Both of them were stored inside her body.
"Woah~ I want to visit your world someday, master. Can I?" Jophiel’s eyes glistened with passion.
"Your master has several private mini-worlds and a whole universe of her own. You can travel many worlds if you can gain ’her’ recognition." Sylvia grinned knowingly.
"!!!" Gabriella and Jophiel gasped. They stared at their master in amazement. The Gods and Immortals couldn’t compare to their almighty master.
"???" Ely was clueless. She didn’t even know that she had several mini-worlds.
"What are you going to do to the Artificial Hell Realm? It once belonged to the Evil God. His treasures and legacies are still there... including countless hell monsters." Yuuki changed the topic of conversation as she was still concerned about Ely’s plans regarding the fake hell realm.
"Hmm... you’re right." Ely was still thinking about what she should do to the Artificial Hell Realm.
She purified the realm core, but she knew some evil energy was still stored in hidden gaps. Not to mention the hell’s hidden dangers prepared by the Evil God.
While thinking that, she tried to communicate with the Artificial Hell Core Key. However, a virtual screen suddenly popped out before her vision.
[Artificial Hell Core Key begs to be summoned]
"Huh?" Ely was clueless about what happened. She placed her hand on her chest, and the Artificial Hell Core Key answered her call. It flew out into her hand.
It was so obedient, and she held it without constraint, unlike her other God-tier weapons and artifacts.
*Wo-oom*
The red key suddenly went limp like jelly.
"What’s wrong?" Ely asked in wonder.
"Pfft! Your other artifact might have just taught it a lesson." Sylvia covered her mouth as she couldn’t contain her laughter.
Ely then asked about what had happened via telepathy talisman, but she could only read its emotions. She also tried to trigger the virtual screen, knowing something had happened in her inner space. The Artificial Hell Core Key was terrified because of it.
[Artificial Hell Core Key begs for mercy]
[Artificial Hell Core Key is terrified and traumatized]
[Artificial Hell Core Key begs to be placed in another storage space]
[Artificial Hell Core Key won’t dare to harbor any more hidden intentions]
[Artificial Hell Core Key grants full authority over the Artificial Hell Realm]
Several virtual screens popped out before Ely’s vision after she tried to read the Artificial Hell Core Key’s emotion. It made her understand its situation. Her other God-tier weapons and artifacts bullied this red key because of its hidden agenda...
"Full authority, is it? Please behave well, or you’ll suffer." Ely reminded the key, and it nodded several times. She then stored it in a separate storage pouch.
"Full authority? Did it just do something funny?" Yuuki squinted her eyes.
"Yes, but it has learned its lesson." Ely didn’t think much of it. She would deal with it later.
"Hm, it got beaten severely for sure. But do you get full authority? Does that cover all Evil God’s ancient demonic arts?" Sylvia asked in wonder.
"Maybe..." Ely thought about it. If that were the case, it would be easier for her to redesign and refine the Evil God’s ancient demonic arts for Sylvia.
The Evil God’s inheritance would put anyone who practiced it to fall under the owner’s influence, but the Artificial Hell Realm and everything within it belonged to her now. Since she was the owner, she could rule over it with her authority.
Even so, she was still not sure about the so-called authority. Since she would deal with ancient demons, she probably would need some experiments regarding the Evil God’s inheritance.
It could also be used to place reins and restraints on ancient demons if they went to the evil path. She had to be responsible for it too.
Nevertheless, she didn’t want the flawed demonic arts for her friend. She had to refine it into something flawless with no defects. In that way, Sylvia could control the ancient demonic arts without drawbacks.
As if knowing what Ely was thinking, Sylvia just smiled happily. "Hehe~"
"Why is she chuckling to herself?" Jophiel whispered to her senior sister.
"It’s hard to tell..." Gabriella shook her head.
Noir flew steadily towards the Nightmare Clan’s territory in the southeast. Sylvia no longer used her acceleration magic, and the dragon sensed no rush on this trip.
A few moments later, Noir noticed an attractive massive volcano with charming blue lava. It was hot and looked comfortable.
This secret realm was not affected by the outside world’s winter. He wished to go there to relax in the hot blue lava... n𝚘𝚟pub.𝚌o𝚖
"Take us to our destination, and you can go there to have fun. We might take a while to finish our business in this secret realm." Sylvia tapped her pet’s head as she could understand what he was thinking when she saw that unique blue volcano.
"Roar!" Noir couldn’t wait anymore. He sped up his flight speed.
At that moment, almost a thousand elite demons from eight high-class clans had already gathered at the training ground of the Nightmare Clan’s north military base.
The ancient demon ancestors and all demon kings were also there. The news of the Young Demon God’s arrival filled them with excitement.
Nightmare Clan’s excitement was lying elsewhere. After all, they became the supreme ruler clan thanks to their young lord.
Despite everything, the day they would be freed from the curse of restriction finally arrived. The Nightmare Clan wouldn’t be the only one who would enjoy that prosperity. Almost all the high-class demons were excited because of that.
The eight high-class clans had prepared the requirements the Young Demon God asked to remove the curse from their clan’s elites too.
With the Young Demon God by their side, they would achieve the greater height their predecessors had always dreamed of.
"Roar!"
The massive magma black dragon flew over. Several ancient demons became alert but did nothing. They found the dark knight demon standing on that dragon’s head. The Young Demon God arrived with four peerless beauties by his side.
*Bam!*
Noir landed on the ground with a dashing maneuver. He took his usual fierce dragon pose in front of more than a thousand strong ancient demons before lowering his head to the ground.
