182: The fight was forced to stop and the whole audience was shocked!

Demon God City.

The fierce battle continued, with various spells and attacks colliding, deafeningly loud.

Because the Old Pope was secretly slacking, Lydia also didn't dare to go for the kill.

The main pressure the Demon King faced came from Merlin Megan, which was much less than he had anticipated.

He even managed to seize opportunities to launch active attacks and counter-attacks.

He immediately understood that the other party's so-called alliance was not solid; they clearly harbored ulterior motives.

Knowing this,

the Demon King's fighting spirit soared, and he fought with increasing ferocity, actually single-handedly suppressing four people!

"Old Pope! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, what exactly are you doing?!"

Merlin noticed the Old Pope's little movements and immediately questioned him loudly, fuming.

He hadn't expected the Old Pope to be so blatantly slacking off, completely disregarding his identity as a member of the Light Faction.

However, the Old Pope, hearing his questioning, wasn't angry at all. With a thick skin, he indifferently said,

"I'm old and my strength has declined; I've already done my best."

Hearing this, Merlin Megan's faces twitched.

Your best, my * * *!

That old fox!

After cursing inwardly, the two brothers couldn't help but feel confused again.

The King sending them here meant there was indeed an opportunity to end the Demon Realm invasion.

But looking at the current situation, with just the two of them plus the two slackers on the other side, it seemed they couldn't solve the problem...

Could it be that the King wasn't referring to this opportunity?

Had they seized the wrong opportunity?

Just then, a sudden, violent tremor forced everyone to stop fighting!

"What's going on? An earthquake in the Demon Realm?"

"Doesn't seem like it. There was no warning, it just appeared suddenly," Merlin said uncertainly.

The Pope breathed a slight sigh of relief; they had finally stopped fighting.

The next step was to find an opportunity to quickly withdraw, leave this place of trouble, and stay far away from these two unreliable individuals.

And the Demon King also looked surprised and uncertain, seemingly very surprised by the ground tremors.

Just as everyone was guessing wildly,

with a thunderous roar, a nearby mountain peak suddenly exploded!

Blood-red dark energy erupted from underground, as wide as a building, soaring straight into the sky!

Feeling the power contained within that energy, the faces of several people changed drastically!

"What terrifying power!"

They all looked at the Demon King simultaneously, seemingly wanting confirmation.

But the Demon King's face was equally shocked.

From the energy signature, it was indeed from their Demon Realm.

But why would it appear underground in the Demon Capital mountains...

He didn't know!

The Demon God wasn't here either...

Not long after, the energy weakened and dissipated, leaving behind a pit nearly 50 meters wide and bottomless!

The aftershocks of the explosion were still spreading, causing mountains of all sizes to collapse and slide to varying degrees!

A violent gale burst out from within the pit, as if something was about to emerge!

"Quick, spread out!"

At this moment, fighting or not fighting was no longer important; what was important was to figure out what was in the pit!

Something that could threaten even them seemed to be only a World God-level existence.

But World God-level beings generally did not participate in inter-realm disputes.

That's why everyone was even more eager to know what was emitting such terrifying energy.

Boom!

Accompanied by a sonic boom!

A Three-Eyed Demon God covered in scales and with black wings appeared in everyone's sight!

The Demon King and the Old Pope were the first to recognize it, and their pupils immediately contracted!

"Ancient Three-Eyed Demon God... Novasi!!"

The Demon King knew because Demon God-level existences were all famous historical figures, heard about since childhood.

The Old Pope knew because the long history of the Church recorded many famous enemy leader Demon Gods, which he studied from a young age.

Merlin Megan were indeed not as old as them, nor were they fond of history, so they appeared somewhat bewildered at this moment.

But hearing "Three-Eyed Demon God," they knew it wasn't a good sign.

As soon as the Three-Eyed Demon God emerged, it frantically shook its legs, occasionally stomping on the ground, seemingly trying to shake something off!

"Look, what's that on his foot!" Lydia suddenly exclaimed.

Everyone heard this and shifted their gaze, locking onto the Three-Eyed Demon God's ankle. A blue light flickered, as if it were a figure!!

These few people were shocked again!

Who would dare to cling to a Demon God's ankle? What important figure could it be?!

"Wait... why does this look so familiar, uh..."

Lydia squinted, examining it, then suddenly reacted, her eyes widening!

"Hiss... It's him!"

"Who? Who is he?"

The Old Pope quickly asked with a serious expression.

Lydia did not hide anything, explaining about the Chaos Mage and how he had killed Omicron, and incidentally clearing her own name.

"Chaos Mage!?"

The Old Pope was shocked again, not bothering to focus on her innocence, his attention entirely drawn by the words "Chaos Mage"!

"Go! Quick, go! Immediately, right now!"

Without another word, the Old Pope grabbed Lydia and ran!

His movements were so agile that it was impossible to tell he was hundreds of years old.

Lydia was thus dragged away by the Old Pope, a helpless expression on her face, as they ran off in a cloud of dust...

Merlin and Megan exchanged glances but did not leave.

The Chaos Mage was a human, and Megan had even met him once before, so naturally, they wouldn't just leave.

Moreover, looking at the current situation, it seemed the Three-Eyed Demon God was actually the weaker party...

"The opportunity the King referred to should be the Chaos Mage. Let's assist him and not let the Demon King disturb him."

"Alright."

Megan nodded, constantly watching the Demon King's movements.

At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

The last time he saw the Chaos Mage in Sunset City's treasury, he was so weak. He never expected to meet him again and for him to be able to give a Demon God a headache. This speed of improvement was truly terrifying.

On the other side.

The Three-Eyed Demon God watched Chen Beixuan, who clung to him like a stubborn plaster, and ground his teeth in frustration.

He couldn't kill him, nor could he shake him off.

He didn't know where a mage got so much strength, gripping his scales and wedging half his body inside!

His fingers were too thick; he actually couldn't grab him!

Crucially, this guy was immune to control effects!

Why was every Chaos Mage such a scoundrel!

His main body was on its way.

But at this rate, the puppet would die before he even arrived!

"Hmm? It's that little fellow Zachariah..."

It was also at this moment.

He finally noticed the few people watching from afar and recognized Zachariah, who was the Demon King, and a plan immediately formed in his mind.

As his third eye glowed red, the Demon King in the distance trembled all over!

All messages quickly entered his mind, and he instantly came to his senses!

"So it was the work of Lord Demon God..."

After understanding the whole situation, he decisively flew out to help!

And Merlin Megan, who had been watching his every move, also timely blocked him, on full alert!

The Demon King's eyes darkened at the sight, and he coldly snorted: "Four people couldn't stop me; do you two really think you can?!"

"Get lost!!"

Relying on the berserk power of his first form, the Demon King forcefully pushed back the two with just one exchange!

He then rapidly approached the Three-Eyed Demon God, reaching out to grab Chen Beixuan!
