Chapter 325: The Demon Version of Infiltration (II)

“You coward! Weak as those goblins from the main world! It’s just five human legends, right? If I teamed up with Eshbachel, we could at least escape unscathed. It’s definitely your cowardice that caused Eshbachel to die at the hands of humans. After this mission, prepare to face the Queen’s punishment!”
Anak, the legendary Soul Judger Demon, was a battle-obsessed being who preferred to use his fists rather than his brain. He dismissed Ampus’s description with utter disdain.
Meanwhile, the legendary Deceptive Demon Bardon instinctively sensed something was wrong but couldn’t pinpoint it. Ampus, though a semi-divine powerhouse, was bound by the power of the goddess he worshipped and had no chance of escaping betrayal! Unless a more powerful true god intervened, but those true gods probably wouldn’t go to such lengths for an Abyssal Demon Cultist. So Bardon set aside his doubts and decided to join Anak to confront Ampus’s projection at the passage used to invade the main world, to assess the strength of the human warriors.
“I think we should unite to crush the human resistance. Otherwise, we won’t complete the mission, and the Queen will punish us severely!”
Ampus was overjoyed to see even the most deceitful of demons being swayed, but he kept his emotions under control to avoid arousing suspicion. Although neither the Deceptive Demon nor the Soul Judger Demon were skilled in detecting mental fluctuations, Bardon’s keen intuition might still suspect him through a slight expression!
That same night, after the day’s battles, Donald gathered his men and explained in detail how he had subdued the Abyssal Demon Cultist and his plan to eradicate this demonic plague. Of course, aside from the existence of the Book of Truth, he didn’t intend to reveal anything about this high-tier artifact unless he became absolutely powerful enough.
Hearing that Donald had gone on a single trip and easily brought back a semi-divine enforcer, Carlisle and the others—especially Abel, the most lively half-orc—were stunned.
“Can we be sure of their loyalty? After all, it’s a mid-tier divine demon!” Chris said, frowning.

What concerns them is Donald’s safety. If a demi-god demon turns against them at a critical moment, not only will they be in trouble, but everyone involved might suffer disaster, even bringing about a catastrophic calamity for the main world.
“Hehe! You can rest assured on that point. The contract I’ve signed means that even an upper god cannot evade the punishment imposed by its power. Of course, due to the huge difference in strength, if an upper god is willing to pay the price, it’s quite easy for them to deal with me, a mortal of golden strength! But beings like demi-god demons are far from reaching that level!”
The mages nodded in agreement, relieved and supportive of Donald’s plan.
Among them, those who had the greatest confidence in Donald were the old mage Messel, who knew well the immense potential of his disciple, and the legendary Sword Saint Carlisle.
Especially Carlisle, also possessing divine bloodline, naturally shared a connection with Donald.
Donald’s current divine power far exceeded that of a legitimate second-generation god. Just being within ten feet of him, the oppressive force of his powerful divinity made Carlisle feel constrained in every way.
Calling himself a mortal, Carlisle was the first to mutter inwardly: If such a powerful divine being could be called a mortal, then he himself would probably have to settle for being a lowly intelligent creature like a goblin!
However, Chris, an experiment-obsessed man who didn’t understand social dynamics well, still found it suspicious. How could a demon inform him?
Jerm, a mixed-blood dark elf mage with extensive knowledge, explained for Donald: “It’s not hard to understand. Among elves or humans, there are many factions. As for demons, who are inherently chaotic and evil, in the abyss, everything except themselves can be sacrificed. For demons, betraying their own kind isn’t shameful as long as it benefits them. The same is true in dark elf society! If you can’t tell the difference between traps and schemes, you’ll either become someone else’s slave or perish in that world!”
After the discussion settled down, Donald concluded, “In any case, this calamity caused by me must be resolved. Therefore, effectively eliminating the Spider Queen’s capable subordinates is the best option for now. After all, without subordinates of legendary strength working for her, the Spider Queen, confined in the abyss, will find it hard to threaten our safety again!”

Previously, Amps had provided Donald, his new master, with detailed information about the Abyss, especially regarding the 66th Layer of the Deep Pit Web Dimension and the demonic forces in the surrounding dimensions. These were the details he was most familiar with. Since Donald had encountered the Spider Queen several times, he naturally needed to grasp detailed intelligence about her as well to deal with the revenge of this eccentric demon god in the future. The Spider Queen Flora used the Deep Pit Web Dimension as her base, leading several deities or demigods to form a loose pantheon. However, Flora’s subordinates either harbored ulterior motives or utterly hated and resented their dominatrix, the dark elf goddess. Although these deities hidden their hatred for the Spider Queen, Flora wasn’t foolish. A master of intrigue and rebellion, she enjoyed engaging in secret struggles with them and even hinted at encouraging them to plot coups and rebel—this was precisely what made her despised by rational and sensible beings. After all, even the evil dark gods wouldn’t want their subordinates constantly plotting to overthrow them. Only those with chaotic minds, like demon lords or twisted beings like Flora, would act in such a manner! Thus, although Flora’s subordinates had temples and domains within the Deep Pit Web, they rarely stayed there, usually residing in their own private realms. Therefore, when dealing with the Spider Queen, there was no need to consider their opinions. It was already good enough that they, who constantly coveted Flora’s power and followers, didn’t turn on her; they certainly wouldn’t truly resist enemy attacks on her behalf. After excluding these subordinates at the demigod level and above, we are left with Flora’s most loyal servants: the three legendary demons.
