167: Ye Chen's selfishness

When Leviathan's low roar echoed throughout the Abyss, all theFamily unconsciously raised their heads, completely captivated by that magnificent figure.

Cain stared at the massive Leviathan, his eyes filled with fervor, muttering,

"Is this the invincible Leviathan, truly despair-inducing."

The Elf Queen Sharia trembled, gazing at Leviathan's figure with profound shock; under the influence of this panicked emotion, her realm quietly broke through to the sixth-tier.

And Leviathan's appearance aroused the desire for conquest in manyFamily within the Abyss.

The Demons were stirred to infinite battle intent by Leviathan's power; as the orthodox in the Abyss, they firmly believed they would one day climb over this great mountain.

Ye Chen immediately ordered Cain to lead the army to take the Mermen World, while Leviathan would follow the Demon Dragons to the Elemental World, first taking the Fire Beast Domain.

As for why Leviathan wasn't sent to take the Mermen World first—after all, it was the world it had lived in for countless years, so it was best not to plant a knot in its heart.

Cain, with his greatly strengthened Sea Monsters and Merfolk troops, charged directly towards the Merfolk Kingdom, preparing to take this world at the fastest speed.

The Merfolk Kingdom had fallen into a state of national mourning since Leviathan's death.

The Mermen King held a grand funeral for Leviathan to commemorate its great contributions to the Merfolk.

After the funeral, another problem appeared before everyone: how to deal with Leviathan's enormous corpse.

Generally, after the death of a giant Sea Monster, there is no need for disposal; the 'scavengers' in the ocean will devour it bit by bit.

However, facing the powerful Leviathan, the Sea Beasts and Sea Fish were powerless.

Leviathan's defense was too strong; their sharp teeth and claws simply could not bite through its outer skin.

Even its vulnerable mouth was not something ordinary Sea Beasts could gnaw on.

Now without Leviathan's protection, the Mermen King dared not let those Sea Beasts wantonly devour the flesh and blood, otherwise, a situation of the master being weak and the servant strong would inevitably arise.

He ordered the Royal Guard to protect Leviathan's corpse; anyone who dared to privately devour the flesh and blood would be killed on the spot!

At the same time, he ordered the Mage Corps to cooperate, cutting out wounds for the Merfolk to devour, hoping to enhance the overall strength of the Merfolk.

However, no sooner had his order been given than the enemy had already arrived at their doorstep.

The evil invaders from the Otherworld, led by the Abyssal Merfolk, directly teleported outside the Merfolk Kingdom's defense line.

Facing the protective magic array that enveloped the entire Mermen Royal Capital, Cain showed extreme disdain.

Even the most powerful protective magic arrays are vulnerable before the Abyss.

A teleportation portal opened in the sea, and hundreds of thousands of Worm poured out, clinging tightly to the protective magic array.

Then the 'Demon-Breaking Teeth' displayed great power, directly gnawing a huge gap in the shield.

Cain waved his hand, and countless Sea Beasts and Sea Monsters swarmed in, heading straight for the Mermen Royal Capital.

The Royal Guard and Mage Corps were urgently dispatched, setting up layers of defenses in the upper levels of the Royal Capital, preparing to meet the enemy there.

And the King even issued a summons, ordering the affiliated forces belonging to the Merfolk Kingdom to arrange elite armies to come to their aid.

Those affiliated forces had always been well-behaved under Leviathan's pressure, obeying the Merfolk Kingdom's dispatch.

Now that the news of Leviathan's death had arrived, and the Merfolk Kingdom was in peril, some forces had other ideas.

The Merfolk had ruled the world for too long; it was time for a new master.

They gathered their troops but did not promptly assist the Merfolk Kingdom, instead waiting for news from the front lines.

If the Merfolk Kingdom gained an advantage, they would bring their large army to directly assist the Merfolk in expelling the invaders.

If the invaders defeated the Merfolk Kingdom, they would wait until the Merfolk powerhouses were slaughtered, then raise the banner of righteousness to act on behalf of heaven, and after defeating the invaders, take over this world.

If both sides suffered heavy losses… that would be even easier; they would just take everything in one fell swoop.

They completely failed to consider how powerful the force that could defeat the Merfolk Kingdom would be, and how it would give them the chance to reap the benefits.

The development of events also exceeded everyone's expectations; the Merfolk Kingdom did not resist for too long.

Under the Abyssal Army's fearless offensive and the Demons' assistance, the Royal Capital quickly fell, large groups of Merfolk were massacred, and blood stained the entire Royal Capital.

The Mermen King died for his country, drawing the curtain on this great war.

Other forces did not expect the Merfolk Kingdom to fall so quickly; by the time they rushed over, the world's fall was already a foregone conclusion.

In the sacrificial rituals of countless Demons, the Mermen World was completely pulled into the Abyss.

Some weaker natives of the Mermen World were corrupted by the Abyss and transformed into Sea Demons, while others retained their original racial characteristics and transformed into Abyssal Monsters.

And the Mermen World officially settled in the Abyss, becoming the fourteenth layer of the Abyss.

As for Leviathan's original corpse, Ye Chen selfishly moved it to the first layer of the Abyss, occupying most of the Abyss.

Immediately afterward, all orthodox Demons were gathered by the Abyss Will into the first layer of the Abyss, preparing to enjoy this grand feast.

That's right, Ye Chen was preparing to catalyze the Demons' strength and accelerate their growth.

In these several invasion wars, the Demons' performance was mediocre, fundamentally due to their poor strength.

Compared to otherFamily who 'joined with their skills,' the Demons had all risen little by little from Worm, and the strongest wave of them currently were only tens of thousands of fourth-tier Demons.

This was too far from his envisioned ace troops, so using this high-grade ingredient, he prepared to let the Demons achieve a huge leap in strength.

When the Demons learned of the Lord of the Abyss's extra grace, they all roared to the sky, expressing their profound respect for the Lord of the Abyss.

In order not to disappoint the Lord of the Abyss's expectations, each one ate with full vigor.

With the blessing of the Demon-Breaking Teeth, it was not difficult for the Demons to gnaw off Leviathan's flesh.

Millions of Demons surrounded Leviathan, like countless ants devouring a giant elephant.

The Demons were immersed in the pleasure of rapidly becoming stronger, unable to help but let out satisfied roars.

Before long, some Demons on the verge of breakthrough underwent Evolution on the spot.

This further encouraged the other Demons, and they devoured even more diligently.

Every moment, Demons were undergoing Evolution, advancing to higher stages; the scene was simply a chaotic dance of Demons.

And some Demons, after devouring a large amount of flesh and blood, could no longer eat, only able to watch other Demons feast.

Seeing this, Ye Chen did not hesitate and directly added a new talent to the Worm—Extreme Digestion.

Under the influence of this talent, the Demons' appetites greatly increased, and their digestion speed was countless times faster.

Some Demons who were originally stuffed suddenly felt their stomachs quickly shrivel, and they roared, pouncing on Leviathan again.
