Chapter 496 - 495: New batch
While the government and sects were figuring out what to do in the super city, the demon army was making its own preparations."This is a super city. Having been in this world for a while, we can comfortably divide the powers of this world into two groups," Selene spoke, her charming voice soothing even the most restless demons and calming them.
About one hundred high-level demons were present, along with ten peak-level demons.
"One is the governmental power, and the other is the power of the sects. The two work hand in hand, together they are stronger, apart they are weaker," Selene continued as everyone nodded.
"Having anticipated the possibility of this happening, even before all of you were summoned, some of our servants had already infiltrated the super city. Not to challenge or change anything, but to deliver information to the core representatives within. Now, the time has come. Some of them have successfully blended in and even reached the upper ranks."
"It has been in preparation for a long time. It started from the frontline and has finally reached this place," Selene paused.
"Of course, that part doesn't matter to you. What matters is that you follow these instructions. Understood?" she asked.
Everyone nodded.
"Good. Here is their plan. They will leave a section a few hundred kilometers wide and even longer in length. This section will be protected by a weaker dome than the one we know."
Selene paused and smiled.
"Oh, I forgot. A super city is protected by an almost impenetrable dome. We can break through it if multiple peak Rank 0 demons work together, but it would take a long time. Instead of risking that…"
Her gaze swept across the army.
"They want us to attack, trap us there, and turn it into a death zone. They have already considered the possibility that we will break through. That weaker dome was never meant to be as sturdy as the main one. It was designed to become our grave."
"A lot of you will be severely injured. Explosives have already been planted. So this is what you need to do."
Selene smiled as Varkhan and Malthor stood beside her.
"Attack as if everything is normal. Stay slightly away from the center of the explosion. It will take days before we can advance further, and that is exactly their plan, to lure us into a place where we cannot escape and wipe us out. But if we expose their plan now, we risk revealing that we have infiltrators among them."
"So, after several days of advancing, on the fifth day, I want all of you to unleash your strongest attacks and then retreat. That is when the explosion will be triggered. Even if you are injured, I want you alive. Then, immediately afterward, charge toward the super city. Even if only hundreds of you survive, command your armies and advance. Those inside will destroy the formation, and the dome will collapse. Take that opportunity to kill and destroy them."
Selene finished, causing Nuk and the others to gulp.
There was no doubt about it, this was a lot to process. However, it seemed those at the top had already made all the necessary plans. All they had to do was follow through.
At the side, Nuk pondered her words. From the way Selene spoke, it was obvious the explosion would be devastating. If they were caught at the center, they would not simply be severely wounded, they would likely be obliterated.
Knowing this, Nuk became even more unwilling to lead the charge or stand at the front. Unfortunately, the peak-level demons had already made their decision. He had neither a say nor a choice.
Once again, Nuk lamented his weakness.
He was truly tempted to break through to Peak Rank 0. However, these peak-level demons were undoubtedly servants of Lord Vakim, and they should know about the contract. If he broke through now, it would reveal that he had found a loophole.
The outcome for him would not be pleasant.
Afterward, Selene discussed several other matters before finally dismissing everyone.
They had to wait three days before launching the attack.
As for the reason behind the delay…
Nuk discovered it quickly when a precious pure soul was brought out as bait.
Not only Nuk, but Kravos and the rest of the demons from high-level to middle and low-level demons had the same reaction.
Then, slowly, the ten peak Rank 0 demons began carving runes into the ground.
The moment they finished, the runes glowed red like a river of magma. Space itself began to tear apart. A massive vacuum formed as the disrupted space slowly stabilized.
A giant portal, nearly a kilometer in diameter, appeared.
The instant it did, all the demons groaned with pleasure.
Home…
This was undoubtedly home.
The portal connected directly to the Abyss.
For the low and middle-level demons, the urge to rush through it was overwhelming.
Or at the very least, they wanted to devour the pure soul being held by one of the peak Rank 0 demons.
They had felt uncomfortable over the past few days. While many viewed it simply as discomfort, the high-level demons knew the truth.
Their power was being suppressed every single day.
The suppression was slow, but it was still there, and it was deeply unpleasant.
They understood that something greater was at work, that this world itself was affecting them.
Now, standing so close to the portal, they could feel the suppression weakening.
Just then, loud growls echoed from the portal as demons began pouring out.
"Come on, start organizing them," Varkhan spoke.
His deep voice snapped Nuk and the others back to their senses.
They hurried into the air and immediately got to work.
The demons were quickly divided into groups as more and more high-level demons emerged from the portal.
Seeing their numbers double while the portal still remained open made Nuk gulp.
The super city was about to receive a massive surprise.
More importantly, he remembered what Selene had said.
Did that mean she wanted them to survive and intended to use these newly summoned demons as cannon fodder?
Or would she reveal the plan to these new high-level demons as well?
