There was a long silence in the void.

Joshua, who had long been ready to attack, clenched his fists several times, and released them several times, he stared at the demon king in front of him who expressed his submission, several times he wanted to open his mouth, and several times he kept silent.

The strong man's fist is only swung at the strong, and since Goliath folded his weapon by himself, causing his strength to fall and not pose a threat, then Joshua had no reason to punch at all during the time when he needed the Abyss Demon to do things for him.

"—No one will believe in the allegiance of the devil."

The sunken space gradually calmed down, and the stars of extraordinary power floating around the warrior were also withdrawn into his body one by one, and after Joshua took a deep look at Goliath, who was still moving, he turned his gaze away and shook his head: "But you made the right choice...... At least until the threat of the unknown god is over, you don't have to worry about security, and we don't have the strength to destroy you. ”

Joshua turned around, his back to the Demon King, revealing a great flaw - although, with the current state of a warrior, whether it was the front or the side, the outside or the inside, he could grow three heads and six arms at any time, and perfectly deal with any attack from any side.

But Joshua just reined in all the means of defense and directly exposed the flaws in front of Goliath.

However, in the face of such an opportunity, the other party did not move at all, and still stayed in place, maintaining that somewhat ridiculous posture.

“…… Why? ”

Still not looking back, Joshua looked at the dim stars in the abyss, he spit out, and then asked in a deep voice, "Bear the burden of humiliation for the demon clan?" Willing to be a servant for the sake of the continuation of civilization? If it's a five-colored dragon, a dragonman or a Siboya, I believe it, but demons, absolutely impossible, they don't understand what civilization is, what inheritance is. Demons are nothing more than beasts in a group, and if it weren't for the guidance of your group of great demons, they would prefer internal fighting to invasion. ”

"Goliath, tell me why you're allegiance."

The man's cold voice echoed in the dark void, because of the previous battle between the two sides, the surrounding world had long since deviated from its original trajectory and moved into the distance, even the sixth abyss was far away from the battlefield, and in the face of Joshua's questioning, Goliath slowly raised his head, its eight-eyed eyes were calm, and it seemed that it did not feel any shame in the previous surrender and allegiance.

"There's no reason for it." It whispered, "If I have to say it, it's probably for the future." ”

Joshua's eyes narrowed slightly, and Goliath continued: "You're right, Radcliffe the Soul Burner, I don't care about any 'Worm Civilization', nor do I care about any 'Demon Clan' - Worm Civilization has long been destroyed due to self-inflicted infighting, and they deserve to die, and I am not a Worm, their civilization has nothing to do with me, and the latter is my tool, and their value is just that, not my people at all." ”

"I don't care if my demons live or die, because I know that they are beasts that are utterly chaotic, blood-loving, blood-loving, and violent, and that they belong to me because I am the strongest, not because I am their leader."

Goliath said this, in an extremely indifferent tone, and there was no hint of lying, it was genuinely so, not the slightest bit of falsehood.

As the king of demons who grew up in the acid wasteland, Goliath has no empathy for the Zerg civilization, and even eats the last member of the Zerg civilization buried in the underground laboratory, completely ending the era of the Zermen and opening a new era of demons. But it also dislikes demons, and even thinks that they are just tools, not its people.

But, then, why would Goliath offer loyalty to the Joshua-McCrove civilization? As a powerhouse comparable to a god and possessed by the will of the abyss, Goliath alone is almost equal to the entire demon group and the abyss world, as long as it wants to run, no one can intercept him at the moment, and it has no reason to fold its weapons and make all the moves it has done before.

Joshua didn't speak, he just continued to turn his back to Goliath, waiting for the other party to give a reason, and soon, the abyss lord spoke calmly.

"But a new generation has emerged—and unlike the demons who were born in the Sixth Abyss, born with a chaotic nature, the real 'demons' were born."

At this time, Goliath took back his broken scythes - it could be seen that the scythes were essentially the strongest part of the wing bones of the other party's wings, but now, the wings were broken, and it seemed that the wings of the great demon were a little distorted, but Goliath didn't care about this, and it continued to answer calmly: "Just half a year ago, the demon that I placed in other worlds, the demon that lived on my 'part of my body', has given birth to a new generation in the world of order. ”

"As we all know, the Will of the World rejects us refugees who burn and loot, but after the Will of the Abyss merges with me, my body is equivalent to the sixth abyss, and as long as I place my body in other worlds, I can create a 'place of order in the abyss' for demons and deceive the world. And half a year ago, a whole new generation was born from the demon defenders who lived in my body...... They are demons with true souls, born completely naturally, unlike me, unlike Helm, unlike Saluka, Delare, and Grutia, he is different from us 'demons' who have been condensed by countless soul fragments to gain spiritual intelligence, their souls are complete and blank. ”

"Without the inheritance of innate souls, without any power from the soul fragments of the previous generation, the power of these 'demons' is really weak and pitiful...... But. So what. ”

Speaking of this, Goliath actually showed a 'smile', no one could imagine how terrible a hideous eight-eyed demon king could laugh, but it still 'laughed': "The madness, irritability, treachery, bloodthirstiness, belligerence, insanity, and chaos that are uncontrollable are all derived from the incompleteness of the soul, and no new soul can be born in the abyss, only the wisdom of countless fragments pieced together, this natural condition is destined for the demon to be' A demonic race, no intelligent life can cultivate a normal sanity in the midst of the daily repetition of illusions, headaches, and mental distortions, and the twisted madness that originates from countless souls will tear apart all reason. ”

"But they're different...... They are normal creatures, and as long as they grow well, they are normal intelligent beings...... I can even sense that they have an innate affinity for the 'shadows' within them, and for the first time this strange power resides in a completely new creature, I feel that this is the blessing of the multiverse, as if it were reborn...... I even put on a perfect fit for them – different from us, different from all demons. ”

Saying this, Goliath slowly raised his head, and there was no longer a lava-like light in his eight eyes, just like a crimson crystal, with a blood-red color. For the first time, the Abyss Lord whispered in a tone of pleading, "As long as Microf is willing to admit that 'they' are a normal race of order, and not regard them as demons." ”

"I promise until my death—the reliability of the loyalty of all demons in the Sixth Abyss."

Joshua turned around, the silver eyes of the giant god and the crimson eight eyes looked at each other, at this moment, Goliath did not see any emotion, any element, any intention from the other party's eyes, the other party's gaze was blazing and pure, and it was impossible to see from it that any thought was an impossible luxury.

The only thing to be thankful for is that there is no emotion, which also means no killing intent.

After a while, with a rumbling echo like thunder, the giant god said in a dull voice: "It is worthy of being a gluttonous demon king, it is really greedy. ”

"Just 'offering loyalty' is a desire for a future, for hope, for my commitment and protection...... This deal is so cost-effective, no wonder you don't hesitate to admit defeat when you say admit defeat, and surrender when you say surrender. ”

"But, Goliath, you have to be loyal to me, to the Mycrof civilization, and what about the worlds that have been plundered and destroyed by you in the past hundreds of years? What about those people in the McCrof world who were killed and sacrificed by demons? ”

The giant god slowly approached Goliath, he raised a left hand, and the silver storm in his palm converged, and finally formed a long thick chain, he threw the chain in front of Goliath, and then his palm hung down, holding it on the right corner of the demon king, and the warrior said without any emotion: "I know what you are afraid of." ”

"You are afraid that we will not kill you enough, nor will it be enough to destroy the Sixth Abyss, or even to wipe out all that has anything to do with you, along with the 'demons of order' - but fear not, I will not do so, I am Joshua van Radcliffe, the Soul Burner, the Guardian of Order. Since those demons have not killed anyone, I will treat them equally. ”

"Even now, I have only one request for you demons - now, you go and straighten out the abyss, and then send a demon who knows the way to take me to the abyssal nirvana land through the river Styx as quickly as possible."

In Joshua's left hand, the light of order shone brightly, accompanied by Goliath's muffled snort and the suffocating abyss aura emanating, the warrior raised his left hand, and a strange and mysterious rune appeared on the right corner of the archdemon's head.

"If the unknown evil god awakens, your sacrifices, your struggles, everything you carry, the future you want to see, everything is meaningless, remember this, and do your best to complete the task."

The giant whispered, then turned his head, not speaking, and Goliath struggled to his feet with the sharp pain in his right corner, and he simply tore a shadow from the shadow of his wings and threw it at Joshua.

"I don't know what the Abyssal Nirvana Land is, but if you're referring to the source of the River Styx, the deepest part of the Abyss, I've really traced it."

Goliath picked up the chain left by Joshua, and the moment it picked it up, the chain automatically wrapped around his hands like a snake, and the Abyss Lord did not resist the entanglement of the chains, but continued: "That is a part of my soul, and it will guide you to the deepest part of the abyss—but the strong man of Mycrof, even me, has never really reached a place where there is no light, unlike the abyss like ours, where there are still demons to live, there is the real 'Extremely Dark Abyss'!" ”

"Yes."

Taking over that shadow, Joshua looked down and found that it was a mass of soul entities that were constantly wriggling and changing, and Goliath was indeed not lying, this was indeed the soul of a demon king level, and there was no backhand. He put away this shadow soul, and then left without looking back, heading out into the depths of the abyssal void, leaving only a faint and calm voice echoing behind him.

"We'll light it up."

Without any hesitation, after completing his purpose, Joshua left the void around the Sixth Abyss.

Only the Demon King Goliath, whose hands were entangled in chains by the power of steel, remained in place.

The chains left by Joshua can be said to be fragile and vulnerable to an extraordinary powerhouse of its level, this kind of thing, it is okay to seal an ordinary demon lord who has just been promoted to a legend, even Helm and Saruka can easily tear it apart.

But that was also Joshua's purpose - as soon as Goliath burst out with all his might, the aftermath alone would tear the chain apart, and he would immediately know that the demon king must have moved on to something else.

“……”

Silently touched the engraved rune on his right corner, Goliath didn't know what it meant, but whether it was the will of the abyss or its own instinct, it told it that this rune was not a harmful thing such as 'monitoring', 'sealing' or 'blocking', and even on the contrary, it vaguely felt that this rune was even a little beneficial to it, but it was hidden very deep and difficult to detect.

Without pondering for long, Goliath's body disintegrated, returning into countless fragments—arms, leg bones, vertebral joints, bone fragments, internal organs—countless limb fragments containing powerful shadows and abyssal power, flying in different directions of the void like a storm of flesh and blood, except for a hot crimson heart wrapped in silver chains that circled in the void and flew in the direction of the sixth abyss.

The sixth abyss, the top floor of the Valley of Tears Fortress.

The only remaining demon lord Saruka stared at the sky, the crimson heart of the demon king fell to the earth like a meteorite, and in the endless smoke and black clouds, it returned to the heart of the sixth abyss through the abyssal rift valley - the pulse of Goliath's heart, maintaining the last trace of vitality of the sixth abyssal core, just for such a short period of time after it left, the activity and temperature of the sixth abyssal core were rapidly declining, falling like a cliff.

"My King's ......"

Facing Goliath, who appeared in front of him in the form of pure shadow smoke, the Zerg King knelt respectfully to show his loyalty—but even then, there was a hint of confusion and anger in Saruka's voice: "I heard the wild words of that human - shall we just submit without any resistance?" You know, we are demons, demons that make countless worlds tremble and tremble, and they feel terrified when they hear the name! ”

"And you, our king—"

"Say no more, Saruka."

Because his own flesh and blood is the sixth abyss, the demon king who did not leave any flesh and blood for himself stood on the top of his fortress, shaking his head and interrupting the doubts and complaints of his subordinates.

It looked at the iron-black sky of the sixth abyss, the plains and mountains full of poisonous gas, dust, haze, and dead silence, and after a long time, it whispered, "Don't you understand?" ”

"It's because I'm the Demon King, the Demon King—that I can't be as short-sighted as the Demon and behave like the Demon."

Other than that, Goliath doesn't have any superfluous explanations, any superfluous movements.

But that's enough.

The Worm Demon Lord Saluka bowed his head deeply, and said no more, it may not understand, but it knew that it should accept the orders of the Demon King.

— thousands of years ago.

Demon lords will never obey any being, let alone be allegiant.

In the abyss, countless demon lords are divided, they conquer each other, kill, invade, they unscrupulously consume the last protection of the world, slaughtering their own compatriots, just because it is fun, very interesting, they feel that this is the most in line with their nature,

A powerful demon lord may be able to temporarily rule over a large group of demon lords, form an abyss invasion towards the outside world, and wage war against other worlds, but that's all, as long as this demon lord dies, then its empire, or dynasty, or tribe, or royal court - no matter what name, what form, everything it has will fall into chaos, leaving no lesson and summary.

A demon lord can rule an abyss, and the two demon lords will start to fight, and the demons will not obey anyone, they will continue to conquer, fight, and consume, even if occasionally the demon can be protected by the will of the abyss, at most it will make an abyss a little more stable.

This time of incomparably darkness, sinking in blood and evil, lasted until a greedy soul opened its eyes.

Demon King Goliath. What it longs for, except for the demon lord under its command, no other demon can know, but what needs to be known is that the demon lords who would never obey a strong man in the past and would rather fight and consume themselves have gathered under one banner for the first time.

Smoky winds, acid rain, gloomy clouds, a dull firmament, a sun without temperature, and the graystone mountains that still loom in the black mist and winding around the river Styx, which crosses the whole world.

It is these that make up the long-dead world, the landscape of the Sixth Abyss.

Only the shadow of the Demon King, Goliath, stood atop his own fortress of the Valley of Tears, forged from bones and black iron—the tears shed by thousands of years of suffering were enough to wash a valley of tears across the plains—and no one knew why the Gluttonous Demon King would use this as the name of his fortress.

But just as all demons don't know, and don't want to know, what the demon king desires in his heart, neither humans nor demons care about this.

- Although, born in a dark world.

Looking at his own territory, his hometown, the Demon King closed his 'eyes'.

- It cannot be said that demons are born to enjoy only shadows, and cannot desire fire and light.

Even if the flames were hot and bright, the temperature was enough to burn everything and even the shadows to be gone.

Yes, so.
