Abyss Layer 660.
The succubus let out a giggle, her amorous feelings awakening once more.
Once again, the energy of pleasure began to surge inside her; after three hundred thousand years, no one else could enthrall her like he did, making him seem just like the perfect succubus!
That man was none other than Sauron.
With a snap of his fingers, rows of text materialized before her eyes.
[For the next phase of the Abyss Blood Battle to commence, deployment of at least one level-10 Fish Demon, Flame Demon, Stone Statue Demon, Wind Demon, Black Thunder Demon, Ice Demon, or Chain Demon to the Nora Battlefield is required; additional level 10 demons are permissible but not mandatory.]
As the text dissolved and the vision dissolved away, the succubus watched the youthful Sauron fade from sight, leaving her with a profound emptiness.
"Alright then, during this pause in the Nightmare World setups, we'll gear up for the upcoming Abyss conflict... This is the command from the master."
Rising to her feet, the succubus slipped into scant attire that scarcely concealed her form, akin to being nude, before heading off to the 645th layer, home to the Wind Demon Lord Pazuzu.
"Mekanxiut, what brings you to me? You hold no appeal for me." Pazuzu scowled at the sight of the succubus queen.
The succubus queen chuckled softly:
"Your antiquated form, unchanged across countless eras, doesn't interest me in the least. I've come to launch the subsequent Nora Blood Battle."
"Why bother starting it? Simply abandon the Nightmare World."
"The Nightmare World plans to rally more than eighty Monarchs for their invasion; with that kind of force, they might wipe out Nora within a single year. If we delay, how can we possibly keep pace?"
"Nora stands at its strongest right now; launching an assault presently would surely bring heavy casualties, so I advise against it."
"We're merely assembling forces initially, then lurking near Nora, allowing the Nightmare and Nora to wear each other down before we swoop in to claim the spoils."
"Count me out; I'm not participating."
Pazuzu shrugged with indifference.
"Are you frightened by Edmund?"
The succubus queen sneered mockingly.
"And if I am? The Four Great Demon Lords can't unite at present, and you relics beyond layer 660 won't dare to intervene, so why should I risk it?"
Pazuzu remained utterly unmoved by the succubus's provocation.
"Very well, if you refuse, then I'll take the initiative myself."
The succubus queen paused thoughtfully before declaring gravely.
"You'll venture there?"
Pazuzu appeared delighted, evidently skeptical.
In the past, this schemer had been so petrified of the Mother River that she hid away, dispatching only mediocre underlings as a mere show.
The succubus affirmed with a nod:
"Yes, I'll go, even with the five entities trailing me being beyond measure. Rumors say the Fallen Star Lord is on the verge of reaching Level 11, and soon another Chaotic Servant will arise."
A wave of jealousy washed over Pazuzu.
It yearned to ascend as a Chaotic Servant too; for all its might at Level 10, it remained merely a piece on the board. True power lay in becoming the one who maneuvers the game!
"In that case, proceed; I back your decision."
Pazuzu replied, having sought counsel from the Fallen Star Lord, who assured that this era's upheavals wouldn't reach the Abyss.
Yet numerous Level 10s could perish, as seen with the Earth Demon Lord; safety dwelled only in the Abyss's depths!
Should the succubus meet her end, reincarnation would elude her, freeing up her layer for others to descend into, a most pleasing outcome?
"Hmph! You coward."
The succubus queen swayed her hips seductively as she departed.
"Insolent wench, revel in your bravado."
Pazuzu grumbled inwardly with a cold huff and resumed lounging in his lair, drifting into slumber.
...
Nora Calendar, Year 1900.
Under the banner of supreme decree, the succubus queen called upon the lords: the 168th layer's [Green Steel Demon King Jiasu], the 230th layer's [Skyfire Monarch Icurode], the 234th layer's [Ghost Wind Sovereign Garrulu], the 235th layer's [Master of Deep Diving Shuster], the 280th layer's [Deep Cold Demon King DePaul], the 290th layer's [Prince of Thunderbolt Lyle], the 305th layer's [Imprisoned Witch Kasiga]... along with almost fifty additional level-10 demons.
What followed was a period of anticipation.
...
Astral World.
Thousand Hills Countries, Ten Thousand Mountain Range.
After ascending to divinity, the Amethyst Saint rapidly emerged as the indispensable aides to the Sovereign of Ten Thousand Gold, leveraging its immense strength, and abruptly grasped the allure of becoming a god.
It no longer feared pursuit from the Nora Council, gaining an extended existence beyond the dreams of those fleeting races.
One fateful day, the Purple Crystal Seven Kings arrived in haste and worry.
"My lord, the Holy War Army Master has perished..."
"Slain by the Dusk Palace Master?"
"Indeed."
"I've anticipated this moment for ages; it appears the Blood Fire Dominator truly lacks availability, or else it wouldn't tolerate its proxy being cut down."
"Your wisdom shines, my lord; now perched in the lofty astral realms, we can finally relax!"
The Amethyst Race's joy proved short-lived, as a missive from the Divine Kingdom of the Sovereign of Ten Thousand Gold arrived, casting a shadow over the Amethyst Saint's ancient visage.
[The fringes of the Ten Thousand Gold Divine Domain face incursions from the insect clan's Mayfly Queen; the Black Light God is commanded to marshal the Purple Crystal Divine People and eradicate the threat without delay or failure!]
...
A year passed.
Nora Calendar Year 1901, Blood Battle Year 1789.
In the Eastern Sea territories, a silhouette materialized silently. Levi surveyed the continent that had expanded manifold, now evoking the image of a majestic coiling dragon, his face etched with deep reflection.
"Nearly three centuries have elapsed."
He descended close to the Tower of Summer Flowers, detecting Elena in secluded cultivation; during their final exchange, she had shared her pursuit of the Energy Sect's Eighth Level breakthrough, evidently dedicating herself fully.
Choosing not to interrupt, Levi made his way back solo to the Imperial Palace.
Jinx and the Golden Heavenly King Ape materialized; Levi instructed:
"Head to the Sorren Continent, both of you, mentioning my referral. First, affiliate with the Council, then Jinx, relocate the Golden Scale Clan to the [Seven-Colored Continent]."
The Seven-Colored Continent had been forged by the Earth Saint as well, comparable in scale to the Ancient Dragon Continent, and peopled by the Seven-Colored Scale Clan.
