Volume 4 Chapter 631: Second Invasion
"Your Majesty, Levi and Tyr have forcibly summoned and killed five more demon generals. Now there are only three of the Eight Demon Generals of Hell left. They don't even have backup members. They are already in name only."
Bayer, the lord of the first layer of hell , reported to the Lord of Hell in a very distressed manner.
With the help of the power of hell, he let the Eight Demon Generals die for him, but who knew that Levi seemed to be crazy. He summoned the Eight Demon Generals several times in a month. He killed several batches of them like leeks in such a short time.
At this rate of progress, he will be the one to die next, right?
The Lord of Hell had an extremely gloomy expression. "I will send you a few exiles, and select a few from my personal guards. You must complete the eight demon generals. Otherwise, once those brainless demons discover you, they will definitely take advantage of the situation and launch an attack."
Ever since the bloody battle with the demons, the Eight Demon Generals have been guarding the first layer of hell, slaying countless demons, making countless achievements, and have been active until now.
There are even many demons who believe that the Eight Demon Generals are the strongest demons compared to those demon lords who basically never take action.
But in fact, many demon lords knew that many of the Eight Demon Generals had already died in this process.
However, every time there were casualties in battle, the demon lords would send new hellish fiends to replace the former's identities and make their appearances the same, so that the demons would mistakenly believe that they were invincible.
By now, the Eight Demon Generals have already become the devils' face, and they must not be lost.
Otherwise, even if they are being attacked by the gods, the demons will definitely go crazy collectively. After all, they are just brainless idiots.
At the same time, the Lord of Hell was becoming more and more hateful towards Levi. The number of Hell Demons was limited, barely over a hundred. Some of them were exiled because of their past betrayal, and most of the rest served as personal guards for the many devil lords.
Now that Levi has launched several raids, the number of Hellfire Demons has been greatly reduced, making it even more difficult to promote a successor to the Demon Lord from among them.
Because the losses were so great, the Lord of Hell even considered whether it was possible to give up Bayer?
At least he was certain that Levi must have summoned by real name. Levi knew Bayer's real name, but there was a high probability that he did not have time to master the real names of ordinary Hellfire demons.
In this way, we can buy some time.
As long as we take the opportunity to hunt down some more gods and allow Belial and Firna, father and daughter on the fourth floor, to ascend to gods, the pressure on our side will be greatly reduced.
At least for now, Levi absolutely cannot use the same method to forcibly summon the gods, otherwise he would not be able to stay so safely.
But after thinking about it, he still felt that a lord-level devil was too rare, especially at this special moment.
So no matter how heartbroken he was, he could only grit his teeth and endure it, because he actually had a way to mass-produce Hellfire Demons, but it would cost him a lot, so he basically never used it.
But now it's almost time, he decided to accumulate some more strength and officially start manufacturing.
Bayer was not aware that he had ever been in danger of being abandoned. He only knew that the Eight Demon Generals would be replenished. Even if Levi attacked again, he could at least hold on for two or three times, which temporarily resolved the crisis.
While he was relieved, Bayer couldn't help but said with some hatred: "This damn Levi, the devil is obviously the most arrogant, but he only cares about causing trouble for us. When I have the chance, I will definitely launch an attack on his Heaven Mountain!"
But contrary to his expectations, the Lord of Hell did not rebuke his stupidity this time. Instead, he looked mysterious.
Bayer was stunned at first, then he was surprised and happy. Could it be that this was really possible ?
The Lord of Hell snorted, "There will be a chance. I have found an ally."
Although this ally does not look very smart, he possesses great power, which is very suitable for the devil because the opponent will be easier to fool and manipulate.
At the same time, the Lord of Hell is very concerned about the progress of the goddess of lust, Gracia. This is her first serious attempt after being deified.
Although both father and daughter were very confident, the gap in strength between Gracia and the target was too big. If she was discovered, it would be very dangerous and there would be almost no chance of a second try.
Just as the Lord of Hell was about to give Bayer some more instructions and scold him to work hard, he suddenly frowned and said, "Damn it, the fifth floor was attacked!"
Bai was a little confused at the moment: "Is it Levi again? But the Ice King had been killed by him before? Could it be that he has started to target ordinary Hell Refiners?"
"Not only him, but also Tyr, Mielikki, and others..."
"Damn it! This is a large-scale action by the gods of justice and kindness. Just like the attack they launched on the Abyss, this time they actually set their sights on us!"
While feeling extremely angry and shocked, the Lord of Hell also felt a chill in his heart.
Because many layers of the Abyss have been destroyed or purified by the gods, there will always be new small planes corrupted by evil forces and eventually fall into the Abyss and become part of it.
Not to mention that there are some powerful evil beings that often actively corrode certain small planes, or simply forcibly pull some good or neutral planes into the bottomless abyss and then corrode them.
For example, the Spider Queen - Rose, she likes and is best at this. Naming small planes with three-digit numbers has become her achievement.
Up to now, there are probably less than a thousand known planes, but there is no accurate number of unknown planes at all, so it is called the Bottomless Abyss.
Therefore, even if all the gods join forces, it is estimated that without hundreds or thousands of years of effort, there will be no signs of success.
But hell is different. There are only nine layers in hell, and there is no way to replenish them. If one layer is lost, it would be almost a permanent loss.
It is also foreseeable that once this matter is spread, all enemies, including the demons, will swarm in like bloodthirsty leeches. This is an unprecedented crisis!
Although he was extremely anxious, the Lord of Hell's mind was not affected at all. He still issued a series of orders at a rapid speed: "Bayer, you hold on to the first floor and don't give the demons a chance to sneak in."
"Let the lords and the hell demons of other levels also prioritize defending their own territories. With Levi's cunning, his real target may not be just the fifth level."
"Also notify all the evil gods and have them collectively send troops to the fifth floor. We have provided them with good food and drink for so many years, and it is time for them to contribute some strength!"
There have always been six evil gods living in hell and associating with the devil.
Apart from the earth spirit that had been killed by the Lord of Hell himself, there was Tiamat on the first floor, the Blood Queen Paiske Sesis, the goddess of the bottom-dwelling demon fish, on the third floor, Secora, the god of the Shahuagin fishmen, and Set, the lord of the jackals, on the fifth floor, and Kurtulmak, the chief god of the kobolds, on the seventh floor.
Add in the father and daughter Belial and Firna on the fourth floor, the Princess of Hell - the Goddess of Lust - Gracia on the sixth floor, and the Lord of Hell on the ninth floor, the only two floors that are actually relatively empty are the second and eighth floors.
Now the Lord of Hell has vaguely sensed the opponent's intention. There are obviously two evil gods guarding the fifth floor, why did the enemy choose that place specifically?
Was it out of hatred for evil that he wanted to get rid of the two evil gods at once, or was this just a feint?
So silently, the Lord of Hell has conveyed new orders. His adjutant, Adramaresh, known as the Prime Minister of Hell, has organized all the remaining exiles, together with some Hell Demons he secretly cultivated, to go to the second level together.
As for the eighth floor, arrangements have also been made, and the Lord of Hell believes that even if Levi personally launches a raid there, it will never be easily taken.
The Lord of Hell's order was quickly conveyed, and the entire hell began to move rapidly.
Soon after, news came that Sigmar and the dwarf pantheon were launching a fierce attack on the second level, which was guarded by neither evil gods nor demon lords.
However, since the Prime Minister of Hell soon arrived with reinforcements, the attack of Sigmar and other gods was not particularly smooth.
At the same time, news came from the eighth floor that the Zhendan gods were launching an attack there, but failed.
Because a true god also appeared there, it was the hidden power arranged in advance by the Lord of Hell, Gargoyle, known as the Tenth Duke of Hell.
Although the two sides had many contradictions and conflicts in the past, and even the Lord of Hell gave the other party the title of cruel devil to disgust the other party, but at this special moment, they still secretly resumed their cooperation.
With Gargos's power, if he were in the main world or other planes, any dragon god would be able to beat him and make him flee in fear, but when he is in hell, he has the ability to temporarily delay all invaders.
The first layer was attacked by the platinum dragon god Bahamut, the four gods of Kislev led by Ursun, as well as the dwarf pantheon and the halfling pantheon.
Just from this configuration, we can tell that they are only harassing and have no intention of achieving much success.
With Bile and Tiamat, the first layer would not be under any real threat. At most, the demon army might take advantage of the chaos to join in the fun.
After hearing this series of reports, the Lord of Hell couldn't help but feel relieved. Levi had been fighting all the way and was almost invincible, but now it seems that he is just so-so. The devil is not something that those idiots like the demons can compare to!
Then he also began to make some preparations, wanting to take action himself and pick on some weak targets, such as the Halfling gods.
If successful, the enemy's invasion will actually benefit our side, and there is even the possibility of a new god being born.
If all the nine levels of hell were inhabited by gods, he would even be able to carry out other plans.
For example, based on the intelligence provided by the previously captured Watchers, head to Mount Paradise.
Although the risk is huge, the reward will definitely be amazing because a true God is sleeping there!
While the Lord of Hell was preparing, subsequent news continued to arrive, but not all of it was good news.
Sekola on the fifth floor did not choose to send troops to help. After a long time, he sent a message saying that the furious gods were currently resisting the lawful coalition led by the elven pantheon.
Especially today, the Dolphin Prince leads the Sea Dreamers, cooperates with the Storm God - Matheran, and the Ming Dragon - Yinyin of the Zhendan pantheon, and others, and is working together to put pressure on the furious gods.
At present, the Queen of the Sea cannot handle it alone, so he must help her.
Soon after, Set also sent a message saying that the god of war - Anhor, and the gods of Mount Paradise led by Horus were attacking his temple and church in the main world, and he did not have much power now.
If asked which one is more important, the Kingdom of God or the believers, Seth might not be able to answer for a while, because both are the foundation of God.
But now Levi is attacking the fifth level of hell, not his kingdom of God, so of course there is no need for him to fight for the devils.
At the same time, the other party probably also learned that Sekola was restrained, so the three combat gods, Crimson Knight, Uthgar and Captain Wave, also joined the attack on the fifth floor. For a while, the situation was extremely critical.
After hearing this, the Lord of Hell finally understood that Levi and his men's attack on the fifth floor was not just a feint. If their side really revealed a flaw, they would not mind turning the feint into a frontal attack!
So if I go to the fifth floor, will Levi's attack focus also be adjusted accordingly?
After this thought emerged in his mind, he actually already knew the answer, it was almost inevitable.
Therefore, the best way is to give more of the authority of the fifth level to Set in order to temporarily increase his strength, and also give him the command of the devil army, so that he can hold on at all costs.
Although all demon lords are strengthened by Hell, as the Lord of Hell, he certainly has more privileges.
Soon after, news came that several incarnations of elven gods, including Levi, appeared near the 66th layer of the Abyss, seemingly intending to intimidate Rose and other drow gods.
The Lord of Hell immediately understood that this was because he didn't want to let his side get help from Rose? But he didn't intend to deal with that crazy woman.
After a brief pause, he made a firm decision: "Seth, I will give you some of the authority. As long as you hold on for a while longer, the gods will surely retreat!"
The Nine Layers of Hell have a special god-devouring property. The divine power consumed by the gods here cannot be replenished through conventional means. At the same time, if a god dies in hell, his priesthood and fragments of his godhood will not be able to be recovered by his body.
Therefore, the Lord of Hell also knew that as long as he could hold on, the gods would at most cause some damage and casualties, and they would eventually retreat, just like countless gods who had tried to conquer Hell in the past.
The immortal gods may die for various reasons, but the Nine Hells will last forever.
The fact was just as he had imagined. After being blessed with the power of hell and obtaining the devil's army, Seth became extremely powerful and fought against many enemies alone without retreating a single step.
As the battle continued, the gods began to be exhausted and their offensive power obviously declined. The Lord of Hell was slightly relieved.
But at this moment, suddenly, an unprecedented explosion occurred. With this loud bang, the entire Nine Layers of Hell trembled.
The Lord of Hell stood up suddenly: "Damn it, it's the fifth floor? What tricks did Levi use?"
Before he finished his words, there was another loud bang and the Nine Layers of Hell trembled violently again. At the same time, the Lord of Hell also felt that some mysterious links in the dark were breaking rapidly.
The first five levels of the Nine Hells are slipping out of his control!
Even the Lord of Hell, who was usually calm, couldn't help but feel frightened at this moment.
Even though some details were still unclear, he already knew roughly that Seth had betrayed him. Only he, who had control over the authority of Hell, and working together with the enemy could create such earth-shattering destruction.
The nine levels of hell, the ninth level is the most central one.
Now that the first five layers are disconnected from the ninth layer, not only will our side need to add two new defensive positions, but the power of the demons in the first five layers will also be weakened.
Although based on the characteristics of hell itself, even if it has suffered such severe damage, it is not irreparable, but it will inevitably take tens of thousands of years.
But can the demons in the first five levels really hold on until then?
"Damn Levi, is he really going to destroy us completely?"
While his heart was filled with shock, anger and fear, the Lord of Hell couldn't help but make another decision.
I have been waiting for the right time. Now that Levi and Heaven Mountain’s main forces are in Hell, isn’t this the best time?
A former mid-level divine power should be able to maintain weak divine power even after sleeping for so many years. Once the plan succeeds, his own strength will definitely be greatly enhanced.
If I work harder and strive to improve my divine power to medium level as soon as possible, I will be able to resist even if I face an entire elven pantheon.
After all, compared to other gods, the biggest advantage of the God of Demons and the God of Devils is that their believers are not in the main world and are not particularly afraid of being besieged by the gods.
"Damn it Levi, you forced me to do this!"
