The Great Demon Lord of the American Comics World

Chapters 143, 179 and 180: A Wild Victory Celebration - Hell is Too Evil

The Blood Sea Demon Lord, trailing behind the defeated army of the abyss, prepared to follow them to find the origin of the abyss demons.

In the Black Mountain region, Iliana took in her defeated soldiers, ordered them to clean up the battlefield, and then led Li Xingzhou and the others to visit her palace.

The Queen's palace is located deep in the Black Mountains, in a valley basin.

The basin contains a massive amount of lava, which has now become a huge lava lake.

In the center of the lava lake, there is a black stone plateau, upon which stands a magnificent fortress built entirely of black giant rocks.

The lake fortress is four or five hundred meters from the shore, surrounded by boiling lava and raging fire, with no bridges to cross it.

There used to be a stone bridge.

Iriana explained:
"But I found that bridge too troublesome. There were always stupid demons who overestimated themselves and crossed it to challenge me, so I demolished it. Anyway, I can teleport, so I don't need the bridge."

With that, she opened a portal, teleporting Li Xingzhou and the others directly into the fortress.

The interior of the Lord's Fortress is much more comfortable than Hell.

Although the fortress was not luxuriously decorated, and was even quite rugged and primitive, it was equipped with a large number of magic arrays, and the air was fresh and the temperature was suitable, making it quite comfortable.

However, although the air and temperature are suitable for humans, the concentration of hellish elements inside the lord's palace is higher than outside. If ordinary people stay here for a little longer, they will be corrupted by the hellish elements and turned into demons. Iriana was transformed into a demon as a child because she stayed here for several years.

This was only because she possessed a powerful innate ability to mutate, especially an unbreakable mental barrier, which prevented her from completely transforming into a demon. Although her physical body was transformed, her mind had not completely fallen into evil and darkness.

After leading everyone in, Iriana cast several spells on Elizabeth, Emma, ​​Polaris, and Dawn to help them resist the corruption of hellish elements, but still reminded them:
"Hellish elements are ubiquitous. Even with magic to resist them, over time, you will still be unknowingly infiltrated by hellish elements and eventually slowly become demonized. Therefore, you can only stay here for one night at most."

Elizabeth asked curiously:

"Liana, why are you able to stay in hell for so long?"

Iriana, now back in human form, shrugged.

"First, I possess a mental barrier, which at least ensures my mind isn't significantly affected. Second, as you just saw, my body has been demonized. I can currently travel freely to the mortal realm, but I anticipate that I will gradually be bound to the Hell Frontier dimension in the future, and will no longer be able to easily travel to the mortal realm..."

Seeing Elizabeth's sympathetic expression, Iriana simply smiled nonchalantly:
"It doesn't matter. I've spent many years in Hell and I'm used to the environment here. Compared to the fickle and complex world, I even prefer it here. At least, the environment here is simple enough, and the demons are simple enough—they are simply evil. I only need to think about communicating with them using swords and magic."

As she spoke, she led the group into a magnificent hall that was nearly ten meters high.

Inside the hall was a throne decorated with gold and jewels, steel and longswords, but apart from that, there was nothing else, not even a table or a chair.

"It's quite spacious here."

Li Xingzhou looked around, shook his head, and smiled:

There isn't even a table or chair.

Iliana shrugs:

"I'm not going to receive demons here, so why would I set up tables and chairs? Even if demons came in, they would be kneeling and sitting with me."

Emma asked, "What about servants? As the Queen of Hell, you must have a few servants to serve you, right?"

"There are some servants, but they are not demons, but rather some silly golems."

Iriana laughed:

"I have already given the order, and they are setting up the banquet hall. We will go there to hold a victory celebration banquet in a little while."

Emma said:

"Is there anything edible in hell?"

Iriana said:
"Of course there is. Otherwise, if I hadn't had enough to eat during my years in Hell when I was a child, wouldn't I have starved to death? Although there are very few foods in Hell that are suitable for human consumption and can be eaten for a long time, they are not nonexistent. In addition, I can freely travel to and from the mortal world, so I have stored up enough food from the mortal world."

After leading everyone on a tour, a clay golem with a round head and body, moving somewhat slowly, came over, bowed to Iriana, and emitted a few low rumbles from its chest.

"The celebration banquet is ready." Iliana snapped her fingers and led everyone toward the banquet hall.

Elizabeth looked curiously at the round, clay statue and asked:

"Is this thing made of clay?"

Iliana nodded:
"Of course. In addition to these clay golems, the palace also has obsidian golems as its servants."

Elizabeth sighed:

"Magic can actually make clay and stone golems move and work, it's truly amazing..."

Emma suddenly had a brilliant idea:

"Could we use these golems in the factory? If we used golems for work, wouldn't we be able to save on the cost of food and clothing for the workers?"

In her mind, the only costs for factory workers were food and clothing. As for wages and insurance? What were those? She was already being incredibly kind by not charging the prison laborers at Rex Prison a "skills training fee."

Even so, she still felt that costs could be further reduced, for example, by using these golems that don't need to eat or even rest to tighten screws...

"Theoretically it's possible."

Iriana said:
"But in reality, it won't work. These golems can work tirelessly in Hell, but that's because they're powered by the omnipresent Hell elements. You can't use them for work in the real world unless you set up a factory in Hell. But if you set up a factory in Hell, the products produced will be corroded and permeated by Hell elements. If ordinary people come into contact with them for too long, their bodies will be twisted and their minds corrupted. Besides, they have limited intelligence and their hands aren't dexterous enough, so they can't do many delicate jobs."

Emma shook her head helplessly:
"That's such a shame."

We chatted casually all the way until we arrived at a spacious banquet hall.

A long stone table was set up in the banquet hall, with stone-carved chairs on both sides.

The long table was set with many metal and even stone plates, filled with roast goose, pork hock, roast ribs, various fruits, pies, vegetable salads, and large loaves of bread, giving it a rustic feel reminiscent of a medieval lord's banquet.

"Everyone, take a seat."

Iliana casually sat down in the main seat, gestured for the others to sit down, and then waved her hand:
"Eat whatever you want."

Elizabeth and Polaris looked at the greasy food on the table and felt somewhat at a loss as to where to start.

Emma then summoned the Blade Wizard, cut a piece of bread, tasted it, and then stuck out her tongue while exhaling.
"Why is this bread spicy?"

Iriana laughed:

"This bread is made from the flour of the tubers of a hellish plant. That hellish plant feeds on demons and uses lava as its water, making it more ferocious than many demons. However, its tubers are one of the few foods that humans can eat long-term, although the taste is a bit pungent."

As she spoke, she cut off a piece of bread and ate it with relish, then pointed to the vegetable salad and said:

"There are some hellish plants in the salad too, they taste really strange, why don't you try some?"

Elizabeth and Polaris said they had a light palate and dared not try it. Emma, ​​however, curiously took a few bites, then her little face scrunched up, as if she had tasted some strange flavor.

Since it was a victory celebration banquet, Iriana naturally took everyone's tastes into account.

She clapped her hands, and several obsidian golems came in carrying trays, serving Elizabeth, Polaris, and Emma food to their liking, and thoughtfully preparing juice for Polaris, who was breastfeeding.

After the battle, everyone was actually a bit hungry. Although Elizabeth, Polaris, and Emma used their superpowers mainly to consume energy, the body is the foundation of energy. With a large amount of energy consumed, the body will naturally become tired and hungry.

Therefore, when they had the right food, they ate it all without any hesitation.

Emma even had a drinking contest with Iriana.

Although Emma also has breast milk, it's from a completely unorthodox source, so she doesn't need to be as careful as Polaris.

However, when Polaris saw Emma drinking, she still warned her:
"If you drink alcohol, you can no longer breastfeed Xiaochenxi."

Emma said with a grin:
"no problem."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but raise her hand and press her chest—she hadn't even had time to clear out her inventory before Iriana barged into the event and dragged them to Hell to fight the Abyss Legion, and now she felt that her inventory had actually increased a bit.

Emma was already a little excited from the previous exhilarating killing, and now her chest was throbbing uncomfortably. So she simply slid off the chair and crawled onto Li Xingzhou's lap.

Seeing this, Polaris, sitting next to Li Xingzhou on the other side, muttered with a face full of black lines:
"You little pervert, I'm holding the baby."

Emma fiddled with her little hands, turned her head to look at the North Star and giggled:
"Wasn't she asleep? Come to think of it, Little Dawn really has a big heart. She didn't even wake up during such an earth-shattering battle... She'll definitely be a super powerful mutant in the future."

Let's get started right away.

Polaris rolled her eyes, made an expression of exasperation, and said to Iriana:

"Liana, this is your victory celebration, aren't you going to stop this little pervert?"

However, Iriana in Hell, influenced by the aura of Hell, is even wilder and more unrestrained than she is in the mortal world.

Instead of stopping Emma, ​​she watched Emma's actions with great interest and said:

"It's alright. We're all family here. You can eat whatever you want at this celebration banquet. Lorna, if you also want to eat something good, you can leave the child with me."

"Go to hell!" Polaris rolled her eyes at Iliana, picked up the baby, and sat down across the long table.

"Are you really not going to eat?" Iliana raised an eyebrow and asked Polaris.

Polaris snorted coldly: "I'm not going."

Iliana nodded. "Then I'll go."

After saying that, she got up and walked to Li Xingzhou's side, hugged him and gave him a deep kiss, then knelt down next to Emma and began to eat with her.

Although the Queen of Hell hasn't really gotten serious yet, she has participated in the female version of the Avengers' team-building activities, so she's seen it all. Aside from wanting to run away as soon as things get serious, she's pretty much untouchable.

"The effects of hell on people are truly terrifying; even Liana has become like this..."

Polaris sighed, looking at Elizabeth with admiration:

"Ms. Betty truly lives up to her reputation as a lady from a prestigious family; she's far superior to these two..."

She froze before she could finish speaking.

Because Ms. Betty was looking down, with one hand supporting her forehead and the other hand under the table.

Although the desktop obscured her view, Polaris couldn't see what Betty was doing. But judging from her slightly trembling body, flushed cheeks, biting her lip, and rapid breathing, it was obvious that Ms. Betty was doing crafts.

Okay, as Li Xingzhou's "saintess", Betty is the one who is most corrupted by the demons and least able to resist temptation.

Polaris was speechless, his face full of black lines.
"A perfectly good victory celebration has turned into this... Hell is truly evil!"

Li Xingzhou smiled slightly at the North Star:
"Evil isn't in hell, it's in people's hearts... Lorna, how could you possibly think you could resist the corrupting influence of evil? Come here, the family's activities were forced to stop just as they were starting, but now we can restart them at the celebration banquet..."

Polaris was indeed unable to withstand the erosion of evil.

However, looking at the baby sleeping soundly in her arms, Polaris shook her head with difficulty:
"There isn't even a stroller..."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Xingzhou waved his hand lightly, and a baby carriage appeared out of thin air beside her. Polaris even sensed the presence of an invisible servant.

Li Xingzhou smiled and said, "Is it alright now?"

Polaris finally couldn't hold back any longer. She put the baby in the stroller, pulled down the canopy to cover the baby, handed the stroller to the invisible servant, got up and went to Li Xingzhou's side, sat on his lap, hugged his neck and gave him a passionate kiss.

Iliana is right. Since it's a victory celebration, then of course you can eat whatever you want...

The celebration banquet here is getting more and more lively.

On the other side, Li Xingzhou, who was multitasking, was enjoying the celebration banquet while simultaneously controlling the Blood Sea Demon Lord to follow the fleeing demon army, focusing on the highest-ranking Balo Flame Demons and Six-Armed Serpent Demons among them.

As the Balrog and the six-armed serpent demons fled, they didn't forget to blame each other for poor command and being the first to run away. Their arguments even escalated into physical fights.

Even so, they still fled very fast, traveling hundreds of miles in one go, until they arrived at a huge lava lake.

A dozen or so fire demons and six-armed snake demons fought another chaotic battle in front of the lava lake, inflicting some wounds on each other. They quickly ceased fighting and made peace, gathering some powerful demons such as seductive demons and soul-slaying demons, and then commanding the demons to gather the defeated soldiers.

After taking in nearly a thousand lesser demons, these higher-ranking demons began their slaughter, hacking all the lesser demons to death, throwing their corpses into the lava lake, and then forming a large magic circle to collectively chant spells.

As a group of high-ranking demons sacrificed themselves and cast spells, whirlpools gradually appeared in the lava lake.

The lava vortex grew larger and larger, and finally, a huge obsidian platform slowly rose from the vortex. After the lava flowed away from the stone, a flash of light appeared on the platform, and a silver-white palace gradually emerged. This silver-white palace was initially just a projection-like phantom, but it quickly solidified and transformed into a real palace.

The silver palace was luxuriously decorated, dazzling and magnificent. A creature with a body similar to that of an ordinary person, dark skin, short silver hair, sharp teeth and ears, and six fingers sat on the palace throne, resting his chin on one hand, coldly watching the group of demons outside.

"Asas, we have failed!"

A Balrog shouted in the Abyssal language:
"The demon army here is easily defeated, but the lord is extremely powerful, and she has four powerful spellcasters under her command! We failed to breach the core of her territory..."

Li Xingzhou, of course, had not learned the language of the demons of the other world's abyss.

However, during the previous tailing process, he secretly killed a berserker demon and used the Blood Sea to refine it. Not only did he instantly learn the Abyss Language, but he also gained some understanding of the origins of this Abyss Legion.

This abyssal legion was actually a pitiful creature that suffered a terrible fate in the dimensional collision.

They were originally led by a commander of considerable influence, preparing to attack another abyss lord.

As a result, a dimensional collision occurred, shattering the abyss layer where their legions were assembled. The army suffered heavy losses, and the surviving abyssal demons huddled together on a fragment of the abyss adrift in the spacetime turbulence. They lived in fear for a long time before the fragment finally escaped the spacetime turbulence and luckily "landed" on the edge of a different spacetime dimension with similar properties to the abyss.

Driven by their demonic nature, the legion immediately launched a reconnaissance mission into this unfamiliar dimension. While conducting reconnaissance, they also continuously salvaged other drifting fragments of the abyss, searching for demons to replenish their manpower and food reserves.

Once they discovered the nature of this unfamiliar plane and the location of its core, the Abyss Legion launched a large-scale attack, attempting to seize the plane's core and transform this vast dimension into a new Abyss level, serving as the foundation for the Abyss Legion's foothold in this new world.

This is the origin of this Abyss Legion and the reason for this great battle.

As for the identity of the legion commander...

His name is "Asath," and he comes from a very prestigious background. He is one of the famous demon lords, the son of the Dark Lord, the six-fingered demon Graz't, and his mother is a dark elf priestess who is said to be extremely beautiful.

Asas possesses the same cruelty and cunning as his father, is extremely powerful, and is very much favored by his father. The Dark Lord even gave him a portion of his demon army.

However powerful his background is, it cannot hide the fact that Asas is an unlucky guy.

He was carrying the legion his father had given him, preparing to make a great career, when he was caught up in a dimensional collision.

The once powerful legion suffered heavy losses, and the current legion is merely a ragtag army cobbled together with the survivors of the original legion at its core and demons from other abyssal fragments salvaged from the temporal turbulence as cannon fodder. Its strength is less than one-third of the original legion.

now.

With dark skin, silver hair, sharp teeth, pointed ears, and six fingers, Asas sat in the silver palace built to resemble his father's "Silver Palace," coldly watching the retreating demons, his heart filled with rage.

"The demons of this world are weak and few in number. I gave you a full army of 100,000, which is half of my forces, and now you tell me you suffered a defeat and were driven back?"

Although most of these 100,000 troops are cannon fodder demons, there are also quite a few powerful demons of mid-level or higher rank!

Asas roared in extreme rage:

"You bunch of trash who deserve to go to hell! I will strip you of your power and reduce you to worms!"

Although Asath is powerful and his roar is terrifying enough, in this new world far from the Abyss and beyond the reach of the Dark Lord's evil, the powerful high-ranking demons are no longer so afraid of Asath.

The demons of the abyss do not have the strict hierarchical order of the demons of the Bato Hell. Their chaotic nature often leads them to rebel against their superiors. Many demon lords spend most of their energy on guarding against their subordinates, and many demon lords have even died from violent rebellions by their subordinates.

In fact, after the fragments of the abyss drifted to the new world, the high-ranking demons in this legion had already secretly plotted several times. Several ambitious and powerful Balrogs attempted to overthrow Asas and take power for themselves.

However, due to the large number of ambitious individuals who all wanted to be in charge, and the fact that their strengths were not much different, several secret plots failed to reach an agreement, and the legion remains in the status quo with no one leading a rebellion. In other words, those sent out to fight today seem to be mostly ambitious individuals who had previously plotted a rebellion, along with their troops.
But since they even had thoughts of rebellion, the high-ranking demons were no longer afraid of Asas's threat.

A Balor Balrog said matter-of-factly:

"Yasas, don't just blame us. This time it was your command that went wrong!"

Another Balor Fire Demon chimed in:

"Indeed, Asas, if you hadn't held back and only sent half of our legion, if you had mobilized the entire army and personally commanded it, we might have won this battle!"

"The enemy commander personally took command, and her command ability is extremely strong, I feel even stronger than yours! Her magic is also terrifying, especially that torrent of tens of thousands of longswords that poured down from the mountain, it was simply like the wrath of a god..."

"Asas, this is their territory. Here, that little lord is as troublesome as a god. If you want to conquer this land, you have to stake all your strength and wear them down without regard for losses! Instead of being stingy and conserving your strength, hoping to use them to wear us down!"

Listening to the Balrogs' disrespectful clamor, Asas's face turned pale with anger, and his eyes flashed with a dangerous light, but in the end he still endured it.

These high-ranking demons who once plotted rebellion were numerous. Although their armies suffered heavy losses, they still numbered twenty to thirty thousand. If a real battle broke out, even if he won, he would suffer significant losses. In this new world, replenishing an army is extremely difficult, especially for high-ranking demons; every death diminishes their numbers.

Therefore, even a demon plotting rebellion should die in a battle of attrition against the enemy, rather than in a battle of attrition against himself.

Asatha suppressed his anger, plotting a new scheme to use someone else to do his dirty work, and said in a gloomy voice:

"This time, I can forgive your failure, but there will be no next time!"

He looked at the six-armed serpent demons who appeared to be submissive. "The gnoll king Yenogu has contacted me. He wants to form an alliance with me to divide this new world. What are your thoughts?"

A six-armed serpent demon extended its tongue, licked its lips, and its eyes gleamed with a wise yet wicked light:

“That savage jackal has always been arrogant and extremely xenophobic, caring only about its jackal race. How could it suddenly take the initiative to contact us? It’s either a conspiracy, that it wants to devour our power, or it’s already on its last legs… In any case, this is an opportunity for us. We might be able to turn around and devour the power of Yenogu.”

Asas nodded slowly: "Very good, then let's go back and make plans to prepare for the alliance with Yenogu... Once I have accumulated enough power, I will conquer this level sooner or later and transform it into a new abyss!"

As he spoke, his figure, along with the silver-white palace, blurred and eventually disappeared, leaving only the obsidian plateau in the lava lake.

On the platform, a huge magic array appeared, faintly emitting spatial fluctuations; it was a massive teleportation array.

The high-ranking demons drove the Abyss Legion, which had fled back here, into the teleportation array and returned them to the Abyss Fragment where their lair was located.

Unbeknownst to anyone, a faint line of blood seized the opportunity to attach itself to a six-armed serpent demon covered in fresh wounds, burrowing into a wound that was still oozing blood.

……

Inside the palace of the Queen of Hell.

The celebration banquet was drawing to a close, and Elizabeth, Polaris, and Emma were all fast asleep on the carpet next to the dining table.

Seeing that Li Xingzhou was once again hostile towards her, and that Iliana, who had just been watching with great interest and had even interacted intimately with Emma and the others, with her snow-white and plump thighs now glistening and moist as if coated with honey, instinctively wanted to open a portal and escape.

However, Li Xingzhou directly summoned the Cosmic Cube, and a spacetime fluctuation swept across, interrupting Iriana's teleportation.

Seeing Li Xingzhou approaching step by step, Iliana decisively revealed her demonic form, with horns sprouting from her forehead, a long, fiery red tail growing from her buttocks, and her four canine teeth becoming sharp and long.

Hellfire burned on her horns, her long tail with arrow-shaped spikes swung nimbly, and she glared fiercely at Li Xingzhou with bared teeth, trying to intimidate him with her appearance.

Unexpectedly, Li Xingzhou was not frightened at all; instead, his eyes became even more excited. He strode over, pulled her into his arms, kissed her, and grabbed her tail...

"and many more!"

Iliana was breathless from his kisses. He could easily toss the two-ton seductive demon into the air, and his powerful demon tail was rendered limp and powerless by Li Xingzhou's coils.

She knew that today was likely her doom, but she still made one last stand:

"At least, at least go to my room..."

Li Xingzhou smiled slightly:
"as you wish."

He picked her up and carried her to her room.

……

After an unknown amount of time, when Polaris slowly awoke, she found the banquet hall completely silent, with only two even breaths and the baby's laughter in her ears.

She glanced to the side and saw Emma and Elizabeth fast asleep, while the baby carriage was flying around in mid-air, clearly being entertained by invisible servants.

Looking around again, she couldn't find Li Xingzhou and Iliana. Thinking about Iliana's usual behavior, Polaris understood. She put on her clothes, waved to the stroller, and the invisible servant pushed the half-empty stroller in front of her. Polaris picked up Xiaochenxi, kissed her daughter's pink cheek, and then lifted her clothes to breastfeed her.

During the celebration just now, Li Xingzhou mainly played with Emma, ​​but went easy on her and left plenty of food for the baby.

While I was feeding the baby, I heard Emma give a soft "hmm" and sit up, rubbing her eyes.

"Where is Master?" Emma asked, her voice trembling with panic as she looked like a lost puppy.

Polaris casually replied, "He must have gone to Liana's room."

Emma put on a tank top, left her pants off, and walked barefoot out of the banquet hall.
"Where is Liana's room? I'm going to find them."

"Where are you going?" Polaris called out to Emma. "Give Liana some space. It's her first time, maybe she wants a good memory?"

"What's the point of playing alone? It's much more fun to play together."

Emma said this, but ultimately stopped, returned to the banquet hall, sat back on the carpet, watched the North Star feed the baby, and asked:
What does it feel like to be pregnant?

"Why do you ask?"

"I want to have a child for my master."

"You'll know when you get pregnant yourself. But I think Li Ang probably doesn't want children."

"Why do you say that?"

“Li Ang never takes any precautions, but look around now, who is pregnant? He should be able to control it with magic.”

Now that you mention it, it seems to be true...

Emma frowned, looking somewhat troubled.

"But if that's the case, wouldn't I be unable to have children for him?"

Polaris joked:

"Didn't you feed Xiao Chenxi before? I don't mind if she becomes your daughter, but of course you can't corrupt her."

“Since Xiao Chenxi is the master’s stepdaughter, she is of course also my daughter.” Emma rested her chin on her hand and said softly, “But I still want to have a baby for the master.”

“You’ll have to beg him for that.” Polaris shrugged. “But I doubt he’ll agree.”

"why?"

"There's a high chance your child will inherit your abnormal genes. I think Li Ang wouldn't want his child to be a psychopath like you..."

Emma was speechless, feeling that Polaris had really hit the nail on the head.

As they were chatting casually, Elizabeth woke up, and her first words upon waking were also a question to Li Xingzhou:

Where is Li Ang?

“In Liana’s room,” Polaris and Emma answered simultaneously.

Elizabeth blinked and said:
"While I can roughly understand Iliana's thoughts, a considerable amount of time has likely passed, and Iliana's first time should be over by now. Besides, given Iliana's strength, she's probably already been through several near-death experiences... So, shouldn't we go and help her share the firepower?"

Emma paused for a moment, then immediately agreed: "Great idea!"

Polaris looked speechless: "Haven't you had enough to eat yet?"

Elizabeth smiled and said, "How could that be enough? For me, even if I were with him for 24 hours straight, it wouldn't be enough. It's a pity that he has too many lovers and the time he spends with me is limited, so I have to cherish this precious time."

Polaris rubbed her forehead: "Ms. Betty, you're completely beyond saving..."

Elizabeth smiled gently: "Yes, I have long since become the Red Dragon's prisoner and been transformed into his shape... However, I prefer this feeling of depravity to my former life as a good girl."

As she spoke, she stood up, without even putting on her clothes, and strode out of the banquet hall hand in hand with Emma.

Upon reaching the entrance to the banquet hall, Elizabeth looked back at the North Star:

"Lorna, aren't you coming?"

Polaris thought for a moment, then put the already full Dawn back into the stroller, handed it to the invisible servant, and quickly followed.

Tonight is a group action. We fought the demons together before, and now we have to stand together with our sisters.
