Suppressing the Lord

Facing the Hell Lords’ furious roars, Grandmaster struggled to maintain the energy barrier as he shouted, "One hour. We’ll only help the Blood God hold you back for one hour. No matter how useless the Demon Dragon Lord and Succubus Lord are, they can’t possibly fail to last even one hour."

The Demon Dragon Lord felt insulted and shouted, "One hour? Hmph, it’d be even better if you didn’t come. I alone will tear the Blood God apart and eat him."

"You said the same thing last time, and the Blood God cut off your tail. He was roasting it and eating it not long ago."

The Succubus Lord was not as confident as the Demon Dragon Lord. With the Blood God’s scheming nature, since he had set up this situation, he must have been certain of victory.

"What did you say?"

The Demon Dragon Lord glared at the Succubus Lord. Lucifer shouted, "Don’t start fighting among yourselves at a time like this. Hold on as long as you can. We’ll break through the energy barrier and enter Adam Hell as quickly as possible."

"I don’t need you. I’ll deal with the Blood God myself."

The Demon Dragon Lord snorted. It opened its mouth, and a mass of Dragon Fire capable of burning all things swept toward Wang Bert like a raging tide. Before the Dragon Fire even arrived, the surrounding plants had already caught fire.

"Adam, leave the Succubus Lord to you. She’s the weakest, so she’s perfect for helping you get used to a Demon King’s power."

After giving his instructions, Wang Bert vanished in an instant. When he reappeared, he was already above the Demon Dragon Lord.

Adam straightened his hair and said to the Succubus Lord, "Then it’ll be you. Adam, Hell’s most handsome man, asks the Succubus Lord for guidance."

"So handsome."

The Succubus Lord’s eyes lit up as she said, "Can we compete in a different way?"

"My apologies, but I already said I’m not interested in old grandmas."

Adam smiled faintly and drew upon Cosmic Energy, turning it into a massive shockwave that blasted fiercely toward the Succubus Lord.

That was right—drawing upon Cosmic Energy was Adam’s special ability. Beyond that, he possessed extraordinary abilities such as an immensely powerful body and super strength.

The Sovereign’s Artificial God was an overwhelming success.

At the sight of the shockwave, the Succubus Lord dodged with a terrified expression. Yet another version of her suddenly appeared behind Adam and drove a dagger viciously toward his heart.

Adam was merely unfamiliar with this body; he still had combat experience. He immediately avoided the Succubus Lord’s sneak attack, then launched an unbroken barrage of kicks at her, his feet brimming with surging Cosmic Energy.

The Succubus Lord formed a shield from demonic energy and blocked several blows, inwardly shocked. How was this guy so strong? Adam said with a broad smile, "Be careful. I can’t fully control my strength yet. If I’m not careful, I might beat you to death."

"So handsome—no, that bastard is trying to kill me."

The Succubus Lord gathered her thoughts and focused on the fight. She had no desire to die at Adam’s hands. That would make her the laughingstock of Hell for ten thousand years.

Leaving Adam and the Succubus Lord’s battle aside for now, after Wang Bert flew above the Demon Dragon Lord, his body shone with dazzling spatial light, making him look like a man made of light.

"You’re even more dazzling than last time. I hate bastards like you the most."

A large amount of demonic fire erupted from the Demon Dragon Lord’s body and swept toward Wang Bert with fangs and claws bared. Wang Bert gave the Demon Dragon Lord a disdainful glance, then suddenly appeared beneath its dragon head and kicked upward with his right foot, sending its enormous head snapping back.

The Demon Dragon Lord roared in pain as it swung a claw viciously at Wang Bert. It knew what Wang Bert was capable of, so its claw shook space in an attempt to interfere with his Teleportation.

But to the Demon Dragon Lord’s astonishment, the spatial interference was completely useless against Wang Bert. He teleported above the Demon Dragon Lord’s head and slammed down with a fierce punch.

Bang! The Demon Dragon Lord was smashed downward over ten meters, its head splitting with pain. It roared, and its demonic fire turned into countless densely packed flaming spears that shot toward Wang Bert.

Wang Bert smiled disdainfully and transformed into a meteor, destroying the flaming spears along the way before crashing heavily into the Demon Dragon Lord’s back. The Demon Dragon Lord slammed into the ground like a meteorite with a thunderous boom, kicking up dust that filled the sky.

The Demon Dragon Lord was both shocked and enraged. From the ground, it opened its mouth and spewed Dragon Fire at Wang Bert. At the same time, it controlled fire energy to form flaming armor that tightly protected its body.

"Useless. I can hit you, but you’ll never hit me."

Wang Bert suddenly appeared on the Demon Dragon Lord’s back. His left foot, carrying a high-frequency vibrating Space Blade, slashed down hard. The Demon Dragon Lord’s dragon hide, Dragon Meat, and flaming armor were cut apart together, and blood sprayed everywhere.

Seeing that the armor was useless, the Demon Dragon Lord roared. The armor transformed into eight flaming demon dragons, all of which spewed Dragon Fire at Wang Bert.

Wang Bert slapped the air. The void trembled, and a spatial ripple flashed past. The bodies of all eight demon dragons shattered.

Immediately afterward, Wang Bert teleported before the Demon Dragon Lord’s head, raised his hand, and blasted a massive beam of light at its eye.

The Demon Dragon Lord hurriedly shut its eyes while opening its mouth to spew endless flames at Wang Bert.

Wang Bert vanished again, and the Demon Dragon Lord’s eye was struck by the beam, making it scream in agony.

Wang Bert took the opportunity to appear beside the Demon Dragon Lord’s left foot. With a sweep of both hands, he unleashed a massive Space Blade, leaving a huge wound so deep that bone was visible on its left foot.

In fact, if the Demon Dragon Lord had not dodged so quickly, Wang Bert would have severed its left foot.

As the Demon Dragon Lord dodged, it roared, "Blood God, do you dare fight me head-on?"

"You’re the idiot. Don’t assume I’m as stupid as you are."

Wang Bert smiled disdainfully and split into nine, attacking at once from nine different positions. Unable to distinguish the real from the fake, the Demon Dragon Lord could only control flames to shoot at all nine Wang Berts simultaneously.

Wang Bert ignored them. The moment the flames reached him, they vanished. Then, the nine Wang Berts kicked the Demon Dragon Lord one after another, sending it flying helplessly into the air.

And that was only the beginning. The nine Wang Berts kept teleporting through the air and beating the Demon Dragon Lord. It had no power to fight back and was reduced completely to Wang Bert’s punching bag, screaming endlessly as it was beaten.

"How can this be? The Demon Dragon Lord is completely outmatched?"

The Hell Lords and Elders of the Universe were all stunned. The Shadow Demon Lord sensed something and cried out, "The Blood God has actually become a space controller."

Everyone was confused. "A space controller? What does that mean?"

"Simply put, he now possesses a small portion of the Space Concept."

The Shadow Demon Lord said, "Unless someone else possesses the Space Concept as well, all Space Magic is useless against him. That is because space itself is already under his control."

After a pause, the Shadow Demon Lord added, "The reason we were able to seal the Blood God this time is because Endless Hell possesses the Space Concept, though it takes all of us working together to activate it."

Everyone sucked in a breath. Lucifer frowned and asked, "Where did the Blood God get the Space Concept? He didn’t use the Space Stone."

"He doesn’t need to use the Space Stone, because he is the Space Stone."

Astronomer sighed. "No wonder the Blood God dared to come to Hell. He truly has the ability."

"Hmph, what kind of ability is running away? Once we get in, it’ll be the day he dies."

The Hell Lords all snorted. Astronomer said, "Let’s hope so. But don’t let your guard down. The Blood God isn’t easy to deal with. Leaving aside everything else, look at what he did to Mephisto."

At the mention of Mephisto, the Hell Lords all felt a chill in their hearts. That fellow had suffered too miserably. Blackheart was the same. That father and son were undoubtedly the most miserable Demon King and prince in Hell’s history.

The Flame Demon Lord shouted, "We must avenge Mephisto and destroy the Blood God!"

The Lords were somewhat embarrassed. Mephisto’s current state was also largely thanks to them.

"Enough of that. No matter what, we must get rid of the Blood God today. This is our best chance."

Lucifer shouted, "Demon Dragon Lord, hold on. We’ll save you as quickly as possible."

"Why don’t you try holding on? I’ve completely turned into a punching bag."

The Demon Dragon Lord roared through mental communication, "What is going on with that brat? Why are his clones exactly like the real thing? Ah!"

That scream came because Wang Bert kicked its jaw three times in succession, nearly knocking out all its teeth.

"This probably isn’t Ancient One’s technique."

The Lords could not figure it out, so they turned to the Elders of the Universe. These beings had lived for countless tens of thousands of years and possessed incomparably rich experience.

"Those nine Blood Gods are all spatial projections."

Astronomer glanced over and transmitted mentally, "The Blood God’s real body is hiding nearby and attacking rapidly, then projecting those attacks onto the Demon Dragon Lord.

Demon Dragon Lord, find the Blood God’s real body, or find a way to escape. That way, he won’t be able to keep attacking you. This move requires him to remain in a fixed area, otherwise he can’t control it."

Although the Elders of the Universe were helping Wang Bert hold back the Hell Lords, that was only because of the wager. At their core, they were still Wang Bert’s enemies.

After hearing Astronomer’s words, the Demon Dragon Lord sensed its surroundings while enduring the beating, but it could not find any trace of Wang Bert. Gritting its teeth, it transformed its Dragon Blood into vast flames that burned through the surrounding area, nearly scorching through the entire void.

Even Wang Bert had to evade temporarily. Seizing the chance, the Demon Dragon Lord erupted with flames and fled forward at high speed like a streak of fire.

At that moment, more than ten thin, thread-like spatial cracks suddenly appeared ahead of the Demon Dragon Lord. It was greatly alarmed, but had no time to stop. It could only desperately erupt with flames and fly upward.

Though the Demon Dragon Lord gave it everything it had, it was moving too fast to avoid the spatial cracks completely. Its entire tail was sliced into more than ten pieces, which fell one after another. The pain made it scream endlessly.

"Looks like there’ll be dragon tail to eat again. Astronomer, thank you."

Wang Bert’s nine figures reappeared around the Demon Dragon Lord and continued using it as a punching bag. What enraged the Demon Dragon Lord even more was that one Wang Bert kept condensing spatial spears and throwing them into its wounds, preventing them from healing.

"Astronomer, you set me up!"

The Demon Dragon Lord roared. The other Lords also watched Astronomer warily. These Elders of the Universe truly could not be trusted.

Astronomer could not defend himself. He had sincerely wanted to help the Demon Dragon Lord, but the Blood God had anticipated its escape long ago and prepared this trap in advance.

Astronomer sighed inwardly. Now, no matter what we say, the Hell Lords won’t listen.

"Trying to fight me?"

Wang Bert sneered. The nine spatial projections all vanished. Then, he pushed both hands forward, and five spatial chains emerged from the void, tightly binding the Demon Dragon Lord’s limbs and neck.

The Demon Dragon Lord struggled with all its strength, but it could not break free from the five spatial chains. After sensing them, it shouted in shock, "Adam, you actually gave the Blood God authority over Adam Hell?"

"What’s the problem? These five spatial chains are actually Hell chains. Unless you can drag all of Adam Hell with you, don’t even think of breaking free."

Adam said indifferently, "Blood God, leave some Dragon Meat for me. Make it extra spicy. If it isn’t spicy, I’m not paying."

"Don’t worry. There’ll be enough Dragon Meat to fill you up today."

Wang Bert appeared above the Demon Dragon Lord. Spreading his hands, he gathered vast amounts of Space Energy before him, forming an exceedingly complex spatial magic circle.

Then, Wang Bert continuously poured energy into the spatial magic circle. It grew larger and larger, and even the Hell Lords were somewhat alarmed by its immense aura.

Once this Space Magic took shape, it could probably severely injure even a Lord.

The Demon Dragon Lord did not dare let Wang Bert continue gathering power. It opened its mouth, intending to attack him, but at that moment, a surge of Space Energy suddenly erupted inside its body and struck its heart viciously, forcing it to cough up a mouthful of Dragon Blood.

"The Blood God secretly sent Space Energy into my body while he was beating me earlier."

The Demon Dragon Lord gritted its teeth and hurriedly controlled its blood to fight the Space Energy. If its dragon heart was destroyed, it would be severely injured even if it did not die.

Yet this Space Energy was extremely cunning. It instantly fled without a trace, but whenever the Demon Dragon Lord tried to attack, it would immediately emerge and assault its internal organs. It was impossible to guard against.

After this happened several times, the Demon Dragon Lord was in despair.

"Damn it. I should’ve used a projection from the beginning."

The Demon Dragon Lord regretted it deeply. If it died in battle this time, it would truly be dead.

Sensing the energy fluctuations growing stronger and stronger, the Demon Dragon Lord made a decision and roared, "Blood God, you absolutely cannot kill me today!"

Wang Bert did not bother responding. As he gathered Space Energy, he asked Adam, "Adam, how many dishes do you think Dragon Meat can make?"

As Adam dealt with the Succubus Lord, he replied, "So many. Steamed, boiled, braised, fried—just talking about it makes my mouth water. How about we start with live dragon hot pot? It’ll definitely be incredibly delicious."

Wang Bert nodded repeatedly. "That works."

Hearing Wang Bert and Adam echoing each other, the Demon Dragon Lord’s face darkened. It roared, "Blood God, don’t get cocky. You absolutely cannot kill me today!"

"Demon Dragon, as a Hell Lord, please die with some dignity. Stop desperately making noise before you die."

Wang Bert said disdainfully, "The Space Magic I’m gathering is called Void Shatter. It can shatter even the void, let alone you. Even if you can regenerate and heal yourself, even if your hide is thick and your flesh is tough, you’re dead for sure today."

"So what if it’s Void Shatter? You absolutely cannot kill me."

The Demon Dragon Lord was brimming with confidence. Everyone looked at it curiously. Did this fellow still have some trump card it had not used?

Wang Bert could not be bothered to say more. "You have one minute left to live."

"You absolutely cannot kill me."

The Demon Dragon Lord snorted and said, "Blood God, I’ll sign a contract with you and become your ally for one hundred years."

Everyone present froze. What the hell was this? Hadn’t it been acting so arrogantly just now? How had it suddenly become an ally? Its words and actions did not match at all, did they? Wang Bert was also stunned. He asked, "Are you serious or not?"

The Demon Dragon Lord laughed loudly. "Of course I’m serious. Blood God, I told you that you absolutely cannot kill me today."

Everyone was dumbfounded. The Demon Dragon Lord was using the harshest tone to say the most cowardly words.

After all that, wasn’t it just surrendering and begging for mercy?
