Chapter 587: Cracks in the Soul Stone
There was a war going on in the abyss, but Mo Hao had no intention of sitting idle.

He had no intention of taking the initiative to attack, because the lords of the abyss were all watching him. Once Mo Hao took action, there was a very high possibility of causing a chain reaction.

Judging from the abilities of the Abyss Lords, Mo Hao guessed that they should have a plan against him.

There are only a few Abyss Lords who can fight him head-on. Although the most powerful Demon Princes can fight him head-on, given their personalities, I'm afraid they won't come forward to fight him head-on.

After all, everyone's subordinates are all demons, and the characters of demons are well known. Once there is a possibility of being at a disadvantage or defeated, the demons under their command will probably be the first to rebel.

Mo Hao knew very well that after he announced his plan to conquer the abyss, he could not lose, and even some disadvantages could not be revealed.

All he could do was win, win again and again, from one victory to the next.

According to Mo Hao's estimation, it won't be long before one of the demon princes will start to form an alliance and join forces to strangle Mo Hao.

"Will it be that two-headed baboon who makes the first move, or will it be another demon prince?"

Inside the palace, Mo Hao was considering which demon prince would attack first while summoning the Ten Thousand Souls Banner to take a closer look.

This Banner of Ten Thousand Souls first devoured a large number of demons in the subspace, and after arriving in the abyss, Mo Hao's massacre devoured many more. Now, dark golden lines have appeared on the black surface of the banner.

The appearance no longer looks gloomy, but rather has an inexplicable majesty.

The Banner of Ten Thousand Souls is filled with all kinds of demons, no matter they are warp demons or abyss demons, they are all mixed forms of soul and flesh, and are slowly burned and refined by a blue flame inside the banner.

This is the Ten Thousand Souls Banner digesting those souls. No matter whether they are powerful or weak demons, they are all refined into soul power and refined into fourteen phantoms.

Fourteen phantoms exuding powerful auras, vaguely connected to the Soul Stone imprisoned in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

That connection came not only from Diablo's Soul Stone, but also from the Greed Emblem in Mo Hao's hand.

Just looking at those seven phantoms, I felt a palpitation, and when I looked at them, the negative emotions in my heart surged up like a tide.

The phantom looked blurry, but as Mo Haomei opened his mind eyes, he finally saw the complete outline of the phantom.

Moreover, he happened to recognize the outlines of those shadows.

"The seven demon kings?"

Andariel, Lord of Sorrow, Duriel, Lord of Pain, Belial, Lord of Lies, Azmodan, Lord of Sin, Mephisto, Lord of Hatred, Baal, Lord of Destruction, and Diablo, Lord of Terror.

Lilithmon, Beelzebumon, Barbamon, Belphemon, Devilmon, Leviamon, Lucemon: Fallen Form.

Diablo and the seven demon lords of the digital world.

Mo Hao looked at the fourteen phantoms with a strange expression. These guys were not good people, but after the Ten Thousand Souls Banner devoured countless demons, it constructed the phantoms of the demon kings in it.

The appearance of the Digimon Seven Demon Lords should be due to the influence of the Holy Plan and the Emblem of Greed.

Ever since Dr. Agumon analyzed the composition of the Greed Emblem, the Greed Emblem and the Divine Plan have developed some kind of connection. Mo Hao can vaguely sense that he seems to be able to perform the ultimate evolution of Dr. Agumon through the Greed Emblem.

However, Mo Hao didn’t know much about Professor Agumon’s evolutionary tree. In fact, he only knew about the evolutions of the protagonist’s family.

That's why he never tried to use the Greed Emblem to evolve Professor Agumon because he was worried that a situation like Taichi's would occur where Tyrannosaurus would super evolve into Zombie Tyrannosaurus.

Although there is no right or wrong path in evolution, it is a pity that such a big Tyrannosaurus evolved into a zombie Tyrannosaurus that can't even speak, destroys things crazily and has no reason at all.

This would not be a normal evolutionary direction, either from the perspective of the children or from the perspective of their partners.

And for Dr. Agumon, he prefers his current body that can be used for research. If it evolves into a particularly large Digimon, it will be a burden to him.

Dr. Agumon also prefers to accumulate data on his own, storing the excess data in the Divine Plan and evolving it when necessary.

As for the Seven Demon Kings of Hell… In fact, the correct name of the Seven Demon Kings is the Three Demon Gods and the Four Demon Kings.

Diablo, Mephisto, and Baal are the three great demons.

Andariel, Duriel, Belial, and Azmodan are the four demon kings under the Demon God.

They shouldn't have appeared in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner because Mo Hao had no deep connection with them.

"wrong!"

Mo Hao suddenly remembered something and used his spiritual sense to check the interior of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. In the deepest part of the Banner, the Soul Eater was tightly suppressing the Soul Stone belonging to Diablo.

However, the stone that sealed the soul of the Dreadlord had cracked into a tiny crack at some point.

It is so tiny that if you don't observe it with your spiritual sense, you might even overlook it.

"Oh, it looks like the owner of this place has finally noticed me."

As Mo Hao's spiritual consciousness approached, a certain sound began to ring in his ears.

The low and magnetic voice often makes people subconsciously listen to what the other person is saying.

“Diabolo…”

Mo Hao's figure appeared in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. He frowned as he looked at the Soul Stone in front of him, and began to think about how to destroy this thing.

The Soul Stone cannot completely contain Diablo's soul. The stone can only imprison Diablo for a short period of two centuries, and that is without any external help.

But the current situation is very clear. Mo Hao devoured countless demons through the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and Diablo probably also secretly nibbled on some of them.

Once cracks appear in the Soul Stone, it means that the day when Diablo breaks free is not far away.

According to Mo Hao's estimation, if he gave up using the Ten Thousand Souls Banner at this time and concentrated all his efforts on suppressing the Soul Stone, he should be able to suppress Diablo for fifty years.

or……

Before leaving, just throw away the Soul Stone. This place is the Abyss anyway, so it doesn't matter even if there is one more Lord of Terror.

However, this idea was quickly rejected by Mo Hao himself. The reason was very simple. He had obtained this Soul Stone with great difficulty.

Even Mo Hao would feel heartbroken to give up such an item which is at least of mythical quality.

"Dear Demon King, how about you not think about destroying me for now?"

As if sensing Mo Hao's undisguised malice, Diablo's voice suddenly became full of temptation, "Maybe I can help you."

Without waiting for Mo Hao to answer, Diablo continued, "The design of this place is very ingenious. It imitates the environment of hell, allowing the creatures inside to kill each other, thereby cultivating powerful demons. But with the King of Terror in front of you, why bother to cultivate demons?"

"This Soul Stone is an imitation of the World Stone. It is enough for you to create a world like a shelter inside this small flag."

"We can work together, you get a world, and I get freedom."

"how?"

The Dreadlord's words were filled with sincerity.

It was as if he really made a win-win proposal.
