Devils were probably the species that had declined the most in this Holy War.
Devils were the most ancient species in the Chaos Abyss. In most people's minds, devils were actually an evil species equal to demons. Devils were the most difficult enemies to deal with in the entire universe.
Nine Devil Lords, three Devil Main Gods, and militarized society. They were the most evil species that possessed both slyness and power. Many people believed that devils were far more evil and difficult to deal with than the chaotic and direct demons.
Nobody expected that devils would decline so quickly and in such a pitiful manner.
But if one traced back to the source, some things would definitely have happened ten years ago.
"The current devils are no longer the ancient species from ten years ago. Rather than saying that the former Devil Lords who joined the Hades were traitors, it's more accurate to say that they took most of their resources with them. They're now the main group of devils."
Devils were an ancient species. They were the result of the first generation of humans collectively betraying the Order Faction. Arguing about what had happened was meaningless. However, their civilization that had survived the War of Gods had gradually become the scariest type of evil through history and the influence of the Chaos Abyss.
Devils didn't like to appear under the sun due to schemes, deceptions, and agreements. But, if you became their enemy or were targeted by them, you wouldn't even know how you died.
Devils had a typical pyramidal society. The higher the rank, the more sly and powerful they would be. That was because the stupid and weak devils would all become stepping stones for those who were stronger than them to climb up the ladder.
However, the devil hierarchy had always remained abnormally stable. Not only did the Devil Lords change much more slowly than the other species, there was also a rare "peace" after the transfer of power.
For those in power, the day they lost their status and authority would be the day they died. However, the competition between the middle and lower ranks of the devils was incredibly cruel. However, the higher-ups were abnormally peaceful. It was this incomprehensible "unity" that allowed the devils to successfully accumulate enough powerful individuals over time, giving them the ability to fight against the demons.
Outsiders might not understand, but I knew quite well.
Back then, the devils still maintained a relatively complete organizational structure. The upper echelons of the devils seemed peaceful, but in reality, they had always been divided into two groups. One group was the new elite of the devil race, led by the Tyrant of Tyranny. They were ambitious and had their own plans and goals for the entire world.
The other group would be the ancient humans. In the eyes of the younger generation, these slow-moving old fellows had their claws, teeth, and willpower eroded by time. They had lost the ambition and desire that a devil should have in every Holy War, so they could only hide in their nests and tremble in fear.
However, it was likely that not many people could see this clearly. The powerful devils that hid in their nests survived numerous Holy Wars, while the ambitious rising stars all turned into shooting stars.
However, 10 years ago, these ancient artifacts who seemed to have lost their courage and ambition stood up for the Chaos Faction. However, they didn't choose the Chaos Faction that they had always been loyal to. Instead, they unhesitatingly raised their swords against the Chaos Faction. The hatred that they had accumulated over the years transformed into endless blood and furious roars on the battlefield.
In the end, they obtained the freedom they wanted. They broke free from the restrictions of the Abyss and the endless cycle of the Holy War.
But in this historical incident, the ones who suffered the most were the devils of the new era.
Only now did the devils realize that from the very start, they had never been treated as comrades by the Immemorial Devils. Silence and distance were the best methods of deception and concealment. The devils believed that they had control over the world, but in reality, they didn't even have the authority to read the information.
It wasn't that these ancient devils had lost their ambition to obtain everything. It was that they had realized that the Holy War was meaningless, so they were slacking off.
The demons had lost two-thirds of their high-level combat power in this catastrophe. However, the actual losses couldn't be calculated with just numbers. For example, if a well-run organization lost a few core members and veterans, the loss wouldn't just be the work of those few people. Without the chief accountant, the entire financial department would be frozen. Without the technical backbone, the things that he left behind wouldn't be understood by others. Without the leader, the entire Ruling Organization would be in chaos. With just a few people gone, the entire organization would lose its functions and become completely paralyzed.
It could be said that the successful escape of the Devil Lords caused the entire devil society to sink into extreme chaos and panic. The demons who took advantage of this opportunity to attack the devils caused even more tragic losses.
The final result was that the devils were instantly crippled. No matter how much wealth they had, they wouldn't be able to withstand such a loss.
According to statistics, the entire devil species had lost more than 95% of its members. That meant that the current devil population was less than 20% of what it had been ten years ago.
With such losses, the devils instantly went from a top-level power level to a third-rate power level. This was also the reason why the devils, who had always planned things out before taking action, were so eager to take action in the mortal plane. It was impossible for them to survive in the Chaos Abyss, where the strong preyed on the weak.
But for me, although I felt some sympathy for the devils, that definitely wasn't a reason to show mercy. After all, the world would be a more beautiful place if there were fewer original devils.
"In that case, let's get rid of this fragile golden idiot first."
It was said that the Lord of Thunder's Original Sins were arrogance and arrogance. However, anyone who had interacted with him before would feel that he was incredibly gentle, scholarly, and gentlemanly.
Yep, that's right, it was him. He had the appearance of a large bird with golden lightning feathers. He was constantly surrounded by thunderstorms, and he could summon lightning just by breathing. Golden rings of lightning circled around him like satellites. It was impossible for lightning and thunder to stop within his domain. He looked quite impressive, and he was one of the few Devil Lords who liked to fight.
His history was just as legendary as his physical appearance. It was said that he was originally a creature from the Heavens, but he was unwilling to obey the Order Gods' rules. Then, he fell into the Chaos Abyss and became a demon. That's right, his title of Lord of Thunder came from his former identity as a Demon Archduke. Later, he betrayed the demons and became one of the devil higher-ups.
Back then, some people even bet on when he would betray his new master again. But even after thousands of years passed, the Lord of Thunder was still the Lord of Tyranny's most trusted right-hand man.
"Broken Shoe Slash!"
A blinding Holy Light descended from the sky, transforming night into day. It exploded right in front of the only remaining Devil Lord, the Lord of Thunder, as white flames of Holy Light began burning the entire world.
I walked out from within the Holy Flames. In front of me was the furious Gold Bird.
This time, I had no intentions of ambushing him. This time, I intended to face him head-on!
