After discussing some matters, the pit fiend Floss left the castle.
Not long after he left, Nigras sent a greater devil to secretly deliver a message to the largest palace in the sixth level of the Baator Inferno.
About ten minutes later, a teleportation portal appeared.
The radiance of an Advanced Teleportation spell appeared, and three graceful figures, one big and two small, appeared in the Soul Stealer's hall.
"Lady Glasya!"
Although Nigras was the leader of the Soulstealers, he was no different from an ordinary lesser devil in front of the ruler of the sixth level of the Baator Inferno, Queen Of Yumo Glasya. The Soulstealers were a very loose organisation. Although there were many elites within, devils, demons, and devils were a mix of races. Most of the Soulstealers were under the protection of the lords of the lower planes. Nigras was under the protection of the Queen Of Yumo Glasya, but he wasn't her servant.
The two were closer to a cooperative relationship. The large amount of souls stored in Glasya's castle came from the offerings of the Soulstealers.
Queen Of Yumo Glasya was a beautiful devil with bronze skin. She had a pair of wings that symbolised her status as a greater lustful devil, a small and deadly swallowtail, and a sharp horn.
In terms of appearance, she was probably one of the most beautiful female creatures in the Baator Inferno, perhaps even in the multiverse.
There were many adjectives to describe her appearance that didn't need to be repeated. She was absolutely exquisite and full of temptation. Although her charm couldn't compare to the Succubus Queen Mecanut, she was more beautiful than the Succubus Queen. She had inherited the power of the Lord of Hell, Asmodeus. She wasn't that old among the devil lords, but she had already advanced to become a greater devil.
Behind Glasya were two small and exquisite lustful demons.
Nigras didn't dare to look at the Lustful Queen in front of him because he knew how prideful she was and how cruel she was to male demons. In all of Baator, there were only a handful of males who could compare to her in terms of status and strength. As the daughter of the Lord of Baator, Glasya didn't place any males in her eyes apart from her own father. Naturally, she treated any male devils who had designs on her as nothing more than playthings to entertain themselves with.
Of course, this wasn't the sex and love of the mortal world. Glasya wouldn't allow a male creature so much lower than her to touch her. What she liked was a form of entertainment that was even more cruel, merciless, and bloody.
"Speak."
Glasya's voice carried a trace of arrogance as she faced the leader of the Soulstealers. "You called me over in such a hurry. There must be something important."
Queen Yumo narrowed her eyes.
One thing was for sure. If what he said next didn't satisfy her, Nigras knew that he would have a hard time in the future.
"Yes."
He hurriedly nodded and said in a deep voice, "A greater devil came to make a deal with me today."
"He actually asked for six thousand mid-grade soul crystals right off the bat."
Next, Nigras told Queen Yumo about the details of his conversation with Floss. As the overlord of the sixth layer of the Baator Inferno, she was involved in most of the major transactions of the Soulstealers. It was highly likely that a Grand Duke or Lesser Devil Overlord was preparing to expand their army, and there might be information that Glasya needed.
In the lower planes.
Many devil overlords liked to buy wild abyssal worms from night witches and ghost nannies, and then choose the ones with potential to become mid-grade devils.
However!
Most of the elite troops of the Archdevil Lords were creatures that had been personally created using their souls.
Devils born this way had great potential, and were very loyal to their creators.
In other words, the Devil Lords had already left a mark of enslavement on these souls when they transformed them into Devils.
"Six thousand middle-grade and above souls?"
"That's enough to form an elite army!"
After hearing Nigras' words, Queen Yumo Glasya couldn't help but sink into deep thought, "He's actually using a divine weapon to make a deal! Could it be that there's an evil god standing behind him? "
An evil god.
Many evil gods had attached their divine kingdoms to the Baator Inferno, and many of them were close to the Baator Inferno. That was why the greater devils had a lot of dealings with them.
Glasya's expression grew solemn as this matter involved an evil god.
"Can you guess who it is?"
She turned to look at the Soulstealer in front of her, "There are only so many evil gods near the Baator Inferno. Do you know who's behind him?"
The majority of evil gods were in the lower planes.
However, dealing with the Soulstealer didn't necessarily require an evil god whose divine kingdom was in the Baator Inferno. Evil gods from other places like the Grey Wastes, the Asura Field, the Scorching Inferno, and so on could also secretly find a representative to buy souls from the Baator Inferno.
"I don't know."
Nigras shook his head, "However, I can confirm that the evil god behind the pit fiend isn't simple. I actually sensed a monitoring imprint on him."
"It's very likely that he's an evil god with lesser divine force or higher!"
Hearing the Soulstealer's words, Glasya furrowed her brows and pondered for a moment, "Let's do the deal as per normal. Once the divine weapon is delivered, bring it to me immediately."
Most Divine Artifacts had their own requirements.
Mortals wouldn't be able to use them if they didn't meet the requirements. However, for greater devils with a trace of divinity and even more powerful devil overlords, divine weapons were shockingly valuable.
Sometimes, divine weapons didn't need to be used.
Devils could always think of various ways to corrupt and transform a divine weapon, whether it was to corrupt it or find a way to extract the divine force within it. This was something that all devils were tempted by.
"Your subordinate understands," Nigras hurriedly nodded.
Glasya's face revealed a trace of satisfaction when she heard this, "Serve me well! If you can prove yourself, I'll recommend you to my father! "
Queen Yumo's father was naturally the Lord of Hell, Asmodeus.
Nigras' expression immediately revealed a trace of excitement when he heard this.

Modor City. Study.
Today was a good day. Although the outer islands were becoming more and more stormy as summer approached, and even Modor City would experience heavy downpours from time to time.
However, Søren had received a piece of good news today.
The devil servant he'd sent out had contacted the Soulstealer in the Baator Inferno. If the transaction was successful, Søren would be able to obtain a large number of mid-level and above soul crystals from the Soulstealer, and these soul crystals could all be used to make steel golems. With the further development of Modor City, ordinary golems could no longer meet Søren's requirements. Moreover, creating higher-grade steel golems required even better soul crystals. This was something that could only be satisfied in the lower planes.
From golems to steel golems, the combat power would soar in a straight line.
An army composed entirely of steel golems … Let alone an army from a material plane, even an elite demon army from the Abyss would be able to fight to their heart's content!
At present, Søren had already dealt with the soul crystals.
What he had to do next was to find a way to obtain a large amount of steel to meet the consumption of the golem factory at full power.
Of course.
That was a little difficult to do.
Because with the current level of civilization in the material plane, it was impossible to meet the steel output required by Søren. Søren still had no clue about the steel-making technology during the Arcane Empire. The magic steel forging process was still under research. Therefore, the only thing Søren could do now was to increase the manpower investment and mobilize the gray dwarves from the Underdark. The steel forging technology of the gray dwarves could temporarily meet the consumption of the golem factory. As for the other parts that were not enough, he could only find a way to purchase materials from the Northern Witch Council.
Although Modor City was developing rapidly, there were still shortcomings in many aspects!
The golem army was a very important part of Søren's plan.
He had now initially solved the problem of energy supply, and now he was almost solving the shortage of soul crystals. The only difficulty preventing him from building an army of steel golems was how to get enough high-quality steel.
The weight of a Steel Golem was at least two tons!
Unlike the relatively cheap golems, the steel golems were far more expensive than the golems in terms of craftsmanship and cost. If Søren wanted to build an army of steel golems, the materials consumed would be amazing!
With the current level of civilization in the material plane, he might have to rely on himself to find a way.
