Chapter 0570 Comparison and Harm
"Heh, sorry, but given how nervous your servants have been, I don't think they'll welcome me to this fun party."
Accompanied by lighthearted banter, the almost transparent cloud of air quickly solidified, eventually emerging in the form of Zhang Cheng himself.
Without a doubt, he had just transformed his body into a spirit form and silently followed the two robbers, wanting to see who was hiding behind the scenes and orchestrating everything.
To his surprise, the woman who appeared at the end was a female demon from hell.
"Oh? You don't seem nervous at all when you see me, nor do you show any strong desire. This makes me a little curious. Who exactly are you?" The female demon called Nissa tiptoed around the young wizard standing in front of her with great interest.
Although as a woman, her status in her own race was not very high; she was merely a subordinate of the Demon King of Lust, and her territory was so barren that she could hardly see the souls of mortals in a year.
But no matter what, she was a demon lord, a powerful being who had obtained her own domain, at least from the perspective of mortals.
“Who I am is not important. What is important is that your servants directly attacked guests who came to attend the Supreme Council's year-end auction. This is a serious violation of the agreement and a provocation. Now you have two choices: one is to hand them over to me to take away, and the other is to protect them and then choose to go to war with the Council and be blacklisted by the Council. Tell me, what is your choice?”
Zhang Cheng clearly didn't intend to waste any more words and went straight to issuing an ultimatum.
After all, for him, a demon whose true form had not yet entered this world was hardly interesting.
Upon hearing this threat, Nisha's eyes flashed with a series of negative emotions, including bloodlust, cruelty, and cunning, but these vanished in the blink of an eye, replaced by a mocking expression: "Hmph! It seems you hold some position in the council?"
“That’s right! Believe me! My status in the council is far beyond your imagination. Oh, and by the way, that woman who claimed to be a descendant of Selma has already been chopped into pieces and fed to the dogs.”
After saying that, Zhang Cheng glanced at the reactions of the other two people out of the corner of his eye.
Just as he had expected, the two men shuddered involuntarily upon hearing Zoe's fate, their faces turning deathly pale.
"Ha! What kind of descendant of Selma is she! At best, she's just an idiot hypnotized by magic. She's dead, so what? She was just a pawn that can be discarded at any time anyway." Nissa shrugged nonchalantly, then stepped closer, lightly running her fingers along her prominent chest, and whispered, "How about we make a deal?"
"A deal? What kind of deal? To be precise, what do you intend to use as leverage to shut me up?" Zhang Cheng asked with a half-smile.
“It’s simple! Just pretend this never happened, and I’ll generously bestow upon you forbidden knowledge and power, a true hellish grimoire.” Nissa pulled out a thick parchment book from somewhere.
Just like its name suggests, this book exudes an aura of desire, depravity, and decay from the inside out.
For an ordinary person, it would be difficult to perceive the subtle connection between the book and the female demon, but in Zhang Cheng's eyes, this connection was as obvious as the midday sun.
He didn't even bother to accept the so-called "magic book," and bluntly refused, saying, "Sorry, your methods are too low-level, so low-level that I feel my intelligence has been severely insulted. You know, you're not the first guy to try to corrupt my soul, and you won't be the last, but this is the first time I've used something so crudely made."
"Crude and shoddy?! You lowly mortal! It seems I should teach you a lesson! Let you know just how powerful the Lord of White Hell truly is!" Nissa roared in fury.
Whether it was the plot being exposed on the spot that caused him to become enraged, or whether his creation was called "shoddy" by a human, remains unknown.
"Powerful? No, you pathetic demon. With your meager strength, you can't even perceive the vast difference between us, can you? No matter, I'm in a good mood today. I'll show you what a true grimoire is..."
As the last word escaped his lips, Zhang Cheng casually pulled out the "Grimoire of Domination" he had obtained from the Burning Legion's Abyss Lord from his magic pouch.
The moment this book is opened!
An indescribable force of evil, chaos, filth, madness, and destruction spread and proliferated!
The two unfortunate men who attacked the Marcus family convoy didn't even last a second before kneeling down and loudly chanting the hymns about the Burning Legion that flooded their minds in demonic language.
Before the legion that had destroyed countless worlds, they were like insignificant ants, utterly powerless to resist, and were instantly brainwashed into servants of the devil.
“Damn it! Where did you get such a terrible thing?” Nisa’s voice trembled slightly.
I couldn't help but tremble!
Since that earth-shattering war in ancient times, the number of demon kings in Hell capable of creating things of this caliber can probably be counted on one hand, and each of them commands a massive army of demons.
"See that? This is what you call a demonic tome! Even it couldn't corrupt my will and soul. How much of a chance do you think your laughable, clumsy creation has of succeeding?" Zhang Cheng shrugged with a nonchalant smile.
Feeling the immense power emanating from the "Grimoire of Domination," Nissa's expression was extremely complex, containing awe and fear, as well as anger and resentment.
After hesitating for about two or three minutes, she suddenly turned around and rushed towards the dragon egg that had fallen to the ground, trying to snatch it and take it back to her territory to raise it carefully.
But just as the female demon's hands touched the dragon egg!
"Wrong choice! Those who cannot control their greed will eventually perish." Zhang Cheng slightly curled the corners of his mouth and snapped his fingers.
Snapped!
As the crisp sound echoed through the sewers, Nisa was astonished to find that she couldn't pass through the tiny crack that had just been torn open to return to hell. Shocked and furious, she cried out, "Damn it! What did you do?!"
"It's nothing. I merely froze the surrounding space temporarily. All teleportation spells are currently ineffective within this area. Alright, enough with the small talk. To save each other's precious time, I think it's best to expel you as soon as possible. Also, congratulations on being blacklisted by the Council. For the next few hundred years, your followers in the mortal realm will suffer the most severe blows, and you yourself shouldn't expect to be able to apply to descend in your true form..."
"No! You can't do this! Stop! Stop now! We can talk! I'm willing to sign a real demon contract!"
Chapter 0571 The Game Between Demons
"Ahhhhhhh! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! How dare he, a mere mortal!"
In a relatively desolate ancient castle in the heart of hell, came the hysterical roar of Nisa, the lord of this land.
The little demons who were driving mortal souls to work instinctively shrank their necks, afraid of being noticed by the furious mistress and being torn to pieces, becoming pathetic punching bags.
In this world, which is considered evil, filthy, and filled with violence and abuse, there are no laws or ethics. As long as one is powerful enough, one can do whatever one wants.
Just as everyone inside the castle was trembling with fear, a tall, handsome male demon walked in through the door, grabbed the lesser demon guarding the entrance, and asked, "Tell me, what happened? Why did Nissa suddenly become angry?"
"Lord Borun! The mistress... the mistress seems to have been summoned to the mortal realm by a follower to complete an important transaction, but she was forcibly expelled by a human wizard and ended up getting nothing." The imp turned around and glanced fearfully at the bedroom above the castle behind him, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.
"Oh? Banished..." The male demon curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a playful smile.
He was none other than the devil Boruen, who had previously signed a series of unequal treaties with Zhang Cheng.
However, after witnessing the earth-shattering battle firsthand, he quietly returned to Hell and went into hiding, planning to reappear after the storm had passed.
But who would have thought that in this remote and impoverished place, he would actually find a female demon lord whose strength was almost equal to his own, and the two of them hit it off like dry tinder and slowly became entangled together.
Of course, to some extent, Boruen is like a gigolo who lives off a woman, using his exceptionally strong lower body to satisfy her insatiable desires in exchange for the right to freely enter and reside in this territory.
However, this relationship will not last long. Once the time is right, he will kill his partner and take his place.
Anyway, for demons, things like being heartless after being taken advantage of happen every day. Other demon lords, upon hearing such things, not only don't despise him, but they also praise his wisdom and methods.
Nothing piques the interest of great demons or demon kings more than a successful betrayal!
And so, filled with ambition, Borun walked through the dimly lit corridor to the female demon's room, bowed gracefully, and said, "It is a great honor to witness your unparalleled beauty once again! My dear Lord Nissa! Please tell me, who has angered you? I promise that he will pay a terrible price."
"Price? Save your sweet talk! Come on! Satisfy me! I need to use lust to calm the anger in my heart." Nisa raised her left leg and gently rubbed her hoof-like foot against the other's chest.
"No! This time, please believe me! Tell me, who is the wizard who banished you from the human world?" Boruen continued to probe calmly, letting the other's hooves roam over his body.
Seeing that her lover remained unmoved, the female demon rolled her eyes in annoyance: "How would I know who he is! I only know that he is a young Asian man, and his status in the North American Council seems to be quite high. At least he is qualified to participate in the annual auction held on the New York cruise ship."
“New York? Orientals?” Boruen instantly grasped a few keywords, and the young face that had trampled him underfoot in the fragmented world quickly appeared in his mind.
"What, do you know him?" Nisa, noticing her lover's unusual reaction, asked uncertainly.
"Heh, of course, how could I not know him? This year, he not only successfully expelled me once, but also massacred my followers on Earth. Perhaps... we should join forces to give him a lesson he'll never forget."
As he said this, a sinister and cunning glint flashed in Boruen's pale yellow eyes.
As the saying goes, every devil is a master liar, especially the most intelligent ones who can use the truth to construct a grand lie.
It's obvious that he wanted to use Zhang Cheng to significantly weaken the female demon lord's power.
“Tell me who he is first! Then tell me your plan! I’m very interested in it…” Nisa’s dark red pupils also revealed a coldness that was not easily noticed by outsiders.
Clearly, both demons had sensed the other's intentions to harm them, but neither was willing to expose it, intending to continue the game until one of them was completely defeated.
……
Meanwhile, far away in New York, Zhang Cheng had handed over the two clueless attackers to the Marcus family, while he himself stood in the sunlight, fiddling with the half of a golden sundial in his hand.
It must be said that, after a simple test, the power of this thing was indeed somewhat beyond his expectations.
Putting aside the interesting and mysterious wax symbols engraved on its surface, the ability to gather and emit sunlight is astonishing, surpassing almost any laser weapon of the world's military powers. It can melt a hole about the thickness of three fingers and a meter deep in the ground in just one second of charging.
Moreover, the longer the energy storage time, the greater the power will increase exponentially. The maximum limit is estimated to be enough to clear out all the satellites in the outer orbit of the atmosphere.
Of course, if used against people, without any protection, they would basically die instantly.
Similarly, the disadvantages are also very obvious, namely that it is very easily refracted or even reflected by extremely smooth mirror surfaces.
Finding such an industrial-grade mirror might be difficult for ordinary people, but many people in the underworld who possess supernatural powers can create near-flawless mirrors through magic. Therefore, if an attack is anticipated by the opponent, the result will inevitably be disastrous.
However, if you use this thing to charge the shattered magic crystal, you can shorten the charging time from twelve hours to two hours.
Keep in mind that this is only half a golden sundial!
Once the two pieces are combined into one, the power will at least double!
Just as Zhang Cheng was secretly marveling at the immense power wielded by the Olympian gods, a luxurious vintage car suddenly stopped beside him.
An elderly man in a black tuxedo stepped out of the car, opened the door, and explained, “Respected Congressman! Please get in! The Marcus family is ready to fulfill its promise.”
"Oh? So fast!" Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows in surprise.
After all, not long ago, he had personally witnessed Virgil and several of his men being carried into an ambulance and taken to the hospital.
Normally, injuries of that severity would require at least one or two months of rest before one could get out of bed, excluding magical healing...
Chapter 0572 The Idea of Creating Life
"Of course! In any case, we are one of the oldest families rooted in this continent, and also the founders and pioneers of the North American Supreme Council. Although we have declined considerably in the last fifty years, the foundation we have built up over hundreds of years still remains..."
The elderly man in the tailcoat was clearly the kind of legendary hereditary butler, driving this vintage car that could probably be placed in a museum as an artifact, while proudly introducing the glorious history of the Marcus family.
Unfortunately, Zhang Cheng had no interest in that at all, and instead focused his attention on the classic car itself.
Because this car is not an ordinary vintage car, but a magical car with a variety of spells, including invisibility, super-high-speed movement, spiritification, or etherealization.
In less than five minutes, it carried the two people away from New York, speeding along the interstate highway at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.
Once it encounters an obstacle, the entire vehicle will instantly transform into a blur and pass through the middle, including the people inside.
Although, given Zhang Cheng's knowledge and skills in magic, creating such a vehicle was not particularly difficult.
However, if it is necessary to modify the finished product without damaging its internal structure and power transmission system, even he would find it difficult to do so.
After all, this involves not only magic, but also a series of scientific knowledge such as mechanics, transmission, and internal combustion engines.
Only by perfectly blending technology and magic can this vehicle beneath our feet unleash such incredible power.
"Very interesting..."
After repeatedly scanning the car's interior, he finally gave it a high rating. He was also eager to launch the satellite into space as soon as possible so that he could activate the artificial intelligence program on the USB drive. In similar situations, he could shout like Tony Stark in Iron Man, and leave the rest to the artificial intelligence.
In fact, although Zhang Cheng copied Tony Stark's memories in the Marvel universe, he couldn't use them as freely as the other man, and often needed an entry point that he could understand.
