Chapter 434 Mistress
Chapter 434 Mistress
Lin Tian asked in confusion, because in his opinion, these demons were living quite comfortably, so why did they have to go through all the trouble of going out to fight those human gods?
Isn't this just a case of having nothing better to do?
"This... is not what we wanted to do. Every time there is a demonic invasion, it is the matriarch who manipulates it."
Unexpectedly, the demons weren't just bored; to be precise, it wasn't the demons who were bored, but rather the matriarch who was bored.
The Matriarch is the large aggregate that appears in the Kanto Ice Layer. Although the demons call it the Matriarch, it is only because they were born from there.
The mistress is not actually a life form, nor does she have consciousness; her only function is to give birth to demons.
The demons couldn't figure out what kind of being the Mistress was; they only knew that she never responded to them, so they usually didn't take her seriously.
Until the invasion of evil spirits.
Although the matriarch is unconscious, she possesses a very peculiar ability: to manipulate demons.
Whenever the demons invade, she manipulates them and opens the gate connecting the Kantor Ice Layer to the outside world, beginning her invasion, slaughter, and erosion of the outside world.
This was an irrational act, and none of the demons understood why the Mistress was doing it. However, the Mistress had absolute control over them, and they could not resist.
Thus began the demonic invasion that had lasted for many years.
Demons are a very troublesome existence for gods, because demons are born with the power to restrain them. Therefore, even an ordinary great demon can fight a god to a standstill, and if there are a few more, they may even put the god in a difficult battle.
Not to mention that the number of demons is still very large, making it even more difficult for the gods to deal with them.
Fortunately, the seven demon kings were unable to travel to the outside world through the portal, which alleviated the pressure on the gods outside to some extent.
After all, the demon kings are far stronger than the evil spirits. If any one of them went out, more than 90% of the gods outside would be unable to fight back.
Therefore, even though the invasion of evil spirits is terrifying, the side outside can still hold on as long as no Demon King-level combat power is deployed to the battlefield.
Despite some losses, the balance was ultimately maintained until...
“The seven of us sometimes get together to discuss developments within the demonic entity.”
"Although I'm not interested in these things, I still make time to go to the parties around this time of year."
"Everyone is the same; almost no one is absent from every gathering, and even if someone is, they will ask for leave in advance."
"Until the last gathering..."
“I’m always the last one to arrive at every gathering, so by the time I get there, everyone else is already seated.”
"But that time, when I arrived, I found that two of the seven seats were empty."
"The original owners of these two positions were arrogant and jealous."
"I didn't believe they could be slower than me, so I wondered if they both took leave at the same time?"
"But the result was negative; none of our other five demon lords received any leave requests from them."
"So, filled with doubt, we went to their den of iniquity to search for them, but the result was..."
The building was empty.
"According to the demons under their command, Pride and Envy have been gone for a long time. The demons have not seen any trace of them and do not know where they have gone."
"This puzzled us even more, so we started searching."
Even the laziest person like me is like this...
"But the Kanto Ice Layer is only so big, and all the plots are basically within their perception range. After searching several times, they still couldn't find their presence."
"I was getting impatient, after all, this had already taken up a lot of my sleep time, but just then, Greed suddenly sent a message."
"He found traces of Arrogance and his gang, but the location of these traces is a bit unusual; it's in..."
"Teleportation portal."
"We were all stunned; an idea we'd never had before popped into our minds."
"Could it be that they went out?"
"But we quickly dismissed the idea, after all, they had tried the portal before, and it was impossible for them to pass through. It was like a lock, a lock specifically designed to target the seven demon kings."
"But the last trace is here, and no trace of them has been found elsewhere. If they didn't go out, where else could they have gone?"
"But...how did they find a way out? Why not take them with you?"
In fact, the seven demon kings have always had a desire to leave.
Pride and anger are unwilling to be controlled by the mistress and confined to this place. They are jealous and hateful that those outside have a wider world. Greed and lust, although they do not mind being controlled, also want to go out and absorb more negative emotions.
Laziness and gluttony: one is complacent, the other has low intelligence, but neither opposes going out.
Although they may have some conflicts in their daily lives, they still stand on the same side.
In such a situation, pride and jealousy have found a way out, so why not tell them?
They were very puzzled, but there was nothing they could do, since neither of them was there now, and it would be useless to question them.
They then attempted to break through the seal and try to pass through the portal, but all their attempts failed.
We were somewhat angry but also quite helpless. Seeing that there was no result after a long time, they had no choice but to go home.
But then, something strange happened.
The demon kings discovered that their perception of the outside world was becoming increasingly stronger. So strong that they were able to open doors to the outside and allow demons to be transported to the outside world through these doors.
This was a portal independent of the main mistress, a portal they had opened using their own abilities, a result that delighted them greatly.
However, reality quickly dampened their spirits, because no matter how much they invested in the portal, it still couldn't allow them to pass through.
Even so, the demon kings noticed a peculiar change beginning to appear on the Kanto ice layer...
The demon lords, filled with anticipation, spent some more time until...
