After Sylphlia returned to the Purgatory Abyss, she immediately began to secretly spread the news that Demon King Barmetos had been corrupted by Chaos. With the help of the other eleven Grand Dukes, the news spread very quickly. In just half a month, most of the devils were aware of this news.
Although there were still a lot of Devils who doubted the veracity of the news, there were also a lot of Devils who became excited. They were relatively powerful, and if Barmetos was killed, those Grand Dukes would fight each other for the position of the new Demon King. That way, they would have the opportunity to advance and become the new Grand Duke.
For a time, the entire Purgatory Abyss fell into a strange atmosphere. The fighting with the Demons slowed down a lot. The Devils' attention was all attracted by the rumors of the Demon King.
In fact, Barmetos had also heard about the rumors.
As a Demon King, it would be a joke if he didn't even know what the people under his rule were discussing.
On the summit of a mountain, Barmetos sat on his throne with his eyes closed. The sky around him was filled with Devils. These ignorant Devils gathered here after hearing the news from Sylphlia. They greedily stared at Barmetos on the throne.
It was as if even weak Devils like them had the opportunity to sit on the throne.
Far away, in the lair of the Grand Duke, pairs of eyes stared at Barmetos on the Demon King's Throne through the void. They were all very patient, restraining their subordinates to continue fighting the demons, not letting the cat out of the bag.
They were also waiting for an opportunity.
"So he didn't deny it, nor did he admit it. He's just pretending not to know?"
Tang En asked Sylphlia while fiddling with the Divine Word Rune in his hand.
The news of the Erudite Queen had been spreading in the Purgatory Abyss for half a month. With Barmetos' strength, he should have known about it long ago. He might even know the source of it. But he didn't react at all. This made Tang En feel a little confused.
If the news was false, as a Demon King, he would definitely be furious after hearing the news and would immediately question Sylphlia.
If the news was true, after hearing it, regardless of whether Barmetos wanted to continue his pretense or directly shed all pretense of cordiality, he should have some sort of reaction. It was too foolish to pretend that he did not hear or know anything in order to deal with Tang En's countermeasures.
As the Demon King, who would believe that he could not even hear this kind of news? What's more, Tang En and the others deliberately wanted Barmetos to hear the news!
"Judging from the current situation, the possibility of him being the mastermind is very high. It's almost confirmed."
Sylphlia couldn't wait to see Tang En kill Barmetos. She couldn't help but urge Tang En. "Whether it's true or not, why don't we just capture him and interrogate him later? Don't tell me you're afraid that he'll overturn the heavens? "
Tang En raised his eyebrows and said, "Since that's the case, let's just do it."
Tang En had forgotten that he didn't choose to make a move against Barmetos at the beginning because he was afraid that the other Archdukes would all stand on his side. If Tang En was entangled with them, the other Archdukes would take the opportunity to attack Ellington. The situation would be terrible.
But now that it was confirmed that the other Archdukes were all hoping for Barmetos to quickly abdicate, Tang En didn't have to worry about anything. He directly went to find Barmetos. No matter what the truth was, he would first f * cking f * cking … I mean, first f * cking kill him.
As long as he won, everything would be fine.
Tang En followed Sylphlia to the Purgatory Abyss alone.
Tang En subconsciously covered his nose. "The air here is always so pungent no matter what time it is."
"It can't be helped. To us, this is normal air. The air on your side is abnormal."
Sylphlia looked at the mountain in the distance and said, "He should have discovered our arrival … It seems that he's prepared a very grand welcoming ceremony."
The mountain in the distance was covered by a thick cloud vortex. Bolts of lightning rumbled in the clouds, and blood-red hurricanes whistled across the plains, rolling up large amounts of magma and spraying it in all directions.
A huge figure could be faintly seen in the clouds above the mountain. Demon King Barmetos had released all his power at this moment. Tang En didn't know whether he wanted to block the vision of the other Archdukes, or if he had discovered his arrival and decided to shed all pretense of cordiality.
Seeing this scene, Sylphlia smiled contemptuously. She looked at Tang En with admiration and said, "With your strength, even in his current state, he is absolutely no match for you. You can go up and defeat him directly, and use your unparalleled strength to conquer the entire Purgatory Abyss!"
Sylphlia's flattery didn't make Tang En fall into narcissism. He stared at the huge projection of Barmetos, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
After pondering for a moment, Tang En suddenly asked, "You have been following Barmetos. Tell me, is he at his strongest at this moment?"
Sylphlia was stunned. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Not really. I remember that in a battle a long time ago, the power he erupted with was much more terrifying than now … Eh!?"
"Just as I expected … He's still hiding something."
Tang En had a sudden realisation. He had felt that it was strange. As a powerful race created by the God of Darkness, Barmetos was the king. However, the power he erupted with now couldn't even compare to Dragon King Sasaglot.
Was that possible?
Besides the apparent difference in power, Tang En had another doubt that he didn't voice out. After staring at Barmetos' huge figure for a moment, he slowly floated up, "You stay here."
Sylphlia watched as Tang En flew towards Demon King Barmetos. After a while, she said to someone beside her, "Have you seen enough?"
There was a soft chuckle, and then the space around Sylphlia suddenly distorted. Following that, archdukes appeared beside her. Duke Gorius of the Pit Fiends, Duke Zakunkandar of the Spike Fiends, Duke Kukawosov of the Saw Fiends, Duke Olodrum of the Ice Fiends, and so on.
Gorius spoke slowly, "Do you really think this human can defeat His Majesty the Demon King?"
Sylphlia sneered, "You're still calling him His Majesty the Demon King?"
"Before he shows signs of being corrupted by chaos, I won't believe your one-sided words."
Gorius sneered, "Moreover, I don't know where your confidence in him comes from. He hasn't even noticed us hiding nearby, observing you."
Sylphlia looked at the archdukes with contempt, "Do you really think he hasn't noticed you?"
The archdukes were stunned, and then they heard Sylphlia sneer, "It's not that he hasn't noticed you, but that he doesn't even care about you."
With Tang En's power, so what if these archdukes were lying in ambush? He didn't care at all! When he and Sylphlia had just teleported over, they had already noticed the gazes of the archdukes.
However, Tang En didn't expose them and allowed them to watch, because he was going to use his own means to teach them a profound lesson.
Sylphlia's words made the archdukes sneered, "Although he sent Koukawosov flying last time, that doesn't mean he has the power to fight us. We just didn't fall out with him last time."
Koukawosov's expression turned ugly when he heard them mention this matter again. Although he was a sawblade, his expression wasn't good to begin with, but he still argued, "That's right. We only gave him face last time, and also His Majesty the Demon King. Does a human like him really think he can behave atrociously in the Abyss of Purgatory?"
Sylphlia looked at the archdukes with a strange expression. After a while, she suddenly laughed, "So that's what you all think … No wonder he said that. You're all a bunch of blindly arrogant fools."
Sylphlia's words immediately angered the archdukes, "Whose side are you on?!"
"Me?"
Sylphlia pointed at herself and smiled charmingly, "Isn't it obvious? I've already decided to hug Boss's golden thighs tightly! "
"You shameful traitor!"
"You've betrayed the glory of the devils!"
"Do you want to become enemies with the Abyss of Purgatory?"
"You're just a mere Queen of Pleasure. What are you thinking?!"
"Shut up!"
"You idiots who don't know anything, open your eyes wide and watch carefully!" Sylphlia shouted sternly. Look at the human you look down on standing in front of you. See how terrifying he is! "
"I've never betrayed the glory of the devils!"
"The creed of the devils is that only the strong are worthy of following. My boss, Tang En, is a true strong worthy of my following!"
Sylphlia said proudly, "Weaklings like you who only want to take advantage of the ready-made benefits will never be his match."
Sylphlia further provoked the archdukes. Just as they were about to teach the Queen of Pleasure a lesson and let her know what true power was, an extremely powerful energy fluctuation suddenly came from afar!
