Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit

Extremely skilled individual combat units, and tacitly coordinated triads that relentlessly cut each other apart like a meat grinder.

In less than a day, they covered more than half the distance to the Dark Fortress, and the speed was still increasing.

Because Velasco didn't do anything underhanded.

The low-level demons that attacked them disrupted their speed, so their subsequent advance was largely unimpeded.

The powerful combat capabilities displayed by the warriors of the three major battle groups, as well as their brilliant and ingenious strategic planning and tacit cooperation, were truly impressive.

This greatly surprised the demon lord who had been silently watching the borders of Hell, as well as other demons, large and small, in Hell.

"Humanity actually possesses such warriors, it's unbelievable."

"A very powerful legion, not many in number, but each one is stronger than a high-ranking demon."

"The Terra Empire, Emperor Matthew, when did such a nation appear on earth? With such a rapid rise, could it be the work of some ancient god?"

"They remind me of Asgard, which once swept across the universe, and were fierce warriors."

"Velasco is doomed to lose. I just don't know if he and the Human Emperor will ultimately have a final showdown or negotiate a peace."

Why is Mephisto stopping us? Has this cunning fellow already made his move?

The demon lords each had their own agendas.

Matthew had previously ventured into Hell alone because of Carrie, confronting Mephisto and Lilith, which had already made those demon lords aware of the existence of this figure on Earth.

But most of the demon lords were just surprised and didn't pay much attention.

After all, these demon lords rarely go to Earth.

There is the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, in the mortal realm. Their little schemes are useless against him. The Ancient One will beat them up without any mercy.

Therefore, in the eyes of these lords, Matthew was at most the next guardian to succeed the Ancient One.

But this time, Limbo has once again shattered their understanding.

Matthew remains powerful, but it is his warriors, such as the Astartes, Ravens, and even the Grey Knights, who truly terrify them.

A person's strength can be an accident, a miracle, but when a person becomes strong and also cultivates a large number of powerful warriors, the significance is far different.

Asgard, which once swept across the universe, is still vivid in my memory.

Clearly, they saw in Terra the shadow of the once invincible and high-spirited Asgardian legion.

The most terrifying thing is that the demon lords are absolutely certain that each of the three Astartes chapters is, on a large scale, stronger than any Asgardian warrior.

With over 16,000 warriors, this is already quite a force to be reckoned with; it's terrifying.

The demon lords even felt that if Matthew had been born in Hell and had raised three such powerful legions, he would obviously have risen to prominence in Hell immediately.

It's unimaginable how much Matthew and Terra would grow if given more time.

Compared to these lord-level demon bosses, a similar wave of heated discussions has swept through the lower and middle-level demon groups in Hell.

Although Hell has many dimensions and seems to be in different areas, it actually has its own complete system.

This is similar to the morphological structure of many countries on Earth.

Each hell has its strengths and weaknesses; they compete with each other and are naturally connected.

Under such a system, the highly group-oriented institutional structure allows for strong interactions among them.

Even in these hells, there are many cities, tribes, and large settlements.

There will be pubs, guesthouses, shopping streets, and entertainment venues, etc.

All sorts of intelligence brokers, mercenaries, and bounty hunters that exist on Earth are present in Hell.

Earth has its own currencies and commodities, and so does Hell.

Many bounty hunters are smuggled to Earth through specialized smuggling channels when they are hired.

That's why there are so many records of supernatural events and demons on Earth.

Because these are all real.

Clearly, the lower and middle-level demons also have their own ways of surviving.

Matthew and the Terra Empire, along with the three major warbands led by Reich, waged war on the frontier of Hell, creating a storm of excitement within their respective groups in Hell.

Inside a Western-style tavern in Hell.

The interior of this large tavern is spacious, and although the outside is ablaze with red, the inside is illuminated by colorful lights.

On stage, you can see a band of undead musicians, all skeletons without flesh and blood, screaming and playing heavy metal music that gets your blood pumping.

A frenzied atmosphere is the theme of this tavern.

The walls and beams were covered with skulls and the pelts of unknown monsters.

The distinctive decor and fine wines have given this tavern a very prominent reputation in this hellish place.

However, the demons who usually enjoy frenzied music and embrace alluring and seductive bewitches are now talking about people from outside hell.

"By Satan above, look at those humans, they are nothing but death gods."

"Hehe, I've seen those recorded video clips. I saw those human warriors fighting on the border of hell. They're not human at all. Humans aren't that powerful. They must have the blood of some god."

"I've seen it. The human empire is called Terra? I heard it only rose to prominence in the last two years, especially that human emperor. It's said that he recently stormed into Hell and confronted Mephisto and Lilith, the Mother of Hell."

"It's truly unimaginable that humans, whom I always thought were just food for humans, could actually have such powerful figures. It's a real pity that we won't have the chance to secretly travel to Earth to taste human delicacies anymore."

"Ha, you don't know that human souls are now being sold at exorbitant prices on the black market, more than tripling in value."

“Those damned, greedy merchants deserve to have their souls ripped out by Satan.”

"I dare not go to the human world again. If I get caught, I'm dead."

Some of the demons were excited, some were incredulous, and some were helplessly discussing among themselves.

In a corner booth of the tavern, a fat man with a human-like appearance, wearing a floral shirt and a cowboy hat, with a face full of scars, was drinking a glass of wine, his face full of a thoughtful expression.

"Earth, Terra."

Chapter 305 Velasco, who went from being stubborn to being caught in a dilemma (Seeking monthly votes)

The attention garnered by Limbo has exceeded expectations.

The main reason is that this matter is too strange; how could mere humans be able to launch a counterattack against Hell?

And it's so powerful.

Then, when the demons actually obtained accurate intelligence, and even witnessed firsthand the formidable combat power displayed by those human warriors through video recordings created by black magic, they finally got their hands on the information.

The shock that the demons felt was unimaginable.

As for Reicher, he didn't care how many people were paying attention to this battle. He remained steadfast in executing his plan, leading the Astartes and other company battle groups toward Velasco's dark fortress.

The speed of advancement is extremely fast.

The warriors did not use vehicles, which is one of Terra's biggest weaknesses.

The development has been too fast, and many things haven't had time to keep up.

Even so, the soldiers' advance was still incredibly fast.

Their physical strength was so high that they didn't even need to carry any weight. They advanced all the way, cutting through mountains and killing demons wherever they encountered.

Three days later, 18,000 warriors from the three warbands finally advanced to the outside of the Dark Fortress.

It's a distance of less than three kilometers, a very subtle distance.

It was so subtle that for a moment it was hard to tell whether Raich was attacking or resting.

And even if Velasco launches a sudden attack, Reicher and the others will be able to react completely.

After all, while Velasco was strong, the Grey Knight battle monks were no pushovers. Under the leadership of Chapter Master Nydy, the battle monks had already set up layers of barriers.

These barriers are sufficient to withstand Velasco's first wave of attacks.

Raiche and his men did not rush to attack, but waited.

Within the Dark Fortress, everyone—whether they were demons subservient to Velasco or simply living there—was filled with unease.

These demons knew that humans were attacking the borders of Hell, but they had great confidence in Velasco.

To say he was extremely loyal would be an exaggeration.

But those who live in the dark fortress city on the border of hell are well aware of just how powerful Velasco really is.

In Limbo, Velasco is practically invincible.

However, Matthew's brief battle against Velasco showed them that this was not the case.

Rachel's three battle groups advanced to the outskirts of the city, completely igniting the fear in their hearts.

After all, the fact that they were able to advance to the outskirts of the city already reveals some information.

Humans, demons.

What do these two completely different species represent?

This means that if Terra defeats Velasco, none of these demons may survive.

"Damn it, those humans are right outside the city. We have to unite."

"They are too powerful. In less than half a month, they were able to advance from the lava wasteland to here. How did they do it?"

"Where is our ruler? Why hasn't Velasco appeared yet?"

"Such a powerful aura. Above Satan, I have never seen such powerful human warriors, and there are so many of them."

"We're doomed, let's run for our lives!"

"How can we escape? They're right outside the city."

Inside the Dark Fortress, the demons discussed anxiously and fearfully, flapping their wings as they gazed at the three major battle groups arranged in neat square formations outside the city.

The area outside the city was quite spacious, yet the neatly arranged ranks of more than 16,000 soldiers still looked densely packed.

At the same time, after such a long period of fighting and battle, their temperament has been completely transformed.

The soldiers of the three battle groups have all become qualified soldiers.

Even without unleashing their Conqueror's Haki, they still exuded a terrifying killing intent. The combined killing intent and aura of their military formation were enough to shatter the courage in any demon's heart.

No one spoke; they stood silently in place, resting and recovering their strength.

Their iron discipline, this silence and solemnity, brings an indescribable sense of oppression.

On one side was the silence of the three major warbands, and on the other side was the uneasy Dark Fortress.

The two present a stark contrast.

Humans and demons have now switched roles, with the prey becoming the hunter.

As for Velasco, what is he doing?

He's now caught in a dilemma, his single-mindedness has backfired.

The Heart of Prometheus is an absolute secret in the frontier of Hell, or rather, he is the only one in the entire frontier who knows it, and it is buried deep in the abyss. Logically speaking, no one but him should be able to find it.

But a few days ago, Velasco was shocked to discover that a small squad of human warriors had actually managed to reach the underground.

This almost scared him to death.

The Heart of Prometheus is extremely important, both to the borders of Hell and to Prometheus himself.

Without it, Velasco would still be the ruler of Limbo and would still possess the authority of this pocket dimension, but his own strength would be greatly diminished.

This thing is a perpetual motion machine.

Unrestricted production of magical elements supplies the Hell's Frontier, where Velasco can freely manipulate the magical elements that permeate the entire Hell's Frontier.

It's equivalent to him using the power of the entire Hell Frontier to amplify his power.

This is the key reason why he was able to fight against other demon lords in the borderlands of Hell.

Once the Heart of Prometheus is taken away, or its supply is cut off, Velasco's power will plummet to just himself.

Velasco is powerful enough, but he is definitely no match for a lord.
