No matter what kind of waves are caused in the main material world with the arrival of the gods in the form of saints, it has nothing to do with Li Wei and the others for the time being.

In order to protect the unarmed people from the invasion of the demon army, in order to continue the spark of civilization in Zeelandia, and in order to take revenge on the three gods of death who are the masterminds of the conspiracy behind the scenes...

They paid a very heavy price for this.

One of the most direct costs is that in a sense, they have all died once.

They lost their bodies and followed the underlying rules of Corel's world to come to the lower planes. Now, strictly speaking, they can only be regarded as the Qi Mergers.

Even if you return to the main material plane through teleportation and other methods, you will either become a lich whose memory and emotions will pass over time, or you will gradually lose power under the suppression of the rules of the plane and be thrown back to the River Styx to flow down again.

.

According to Levi's original plan, he was to stay in the hazy realm of the ruined wasteland for the time being, repairing his cracked soul through a short sleep, while looking for a way to reshape everyone's body at the minimum cost.

Since the gods of death destroyed their home, their occupation of the magpie's nest can only be regarded as a courtesy.

But this plan, with the visit of the acting Archduke Bayer of Avernus, a little bit appeared...

A little surprise.

What appeared in front of Li Wei and his other kind of army at this moment was a wasteland full of charred black rocks and rubble.

Mountains and sloping hills break up the monotony of the landscape, and a stream full of blood flows through Avernus and finally joins the River Styx.

The sky is also filled with blood-red light, and fireballs appearing out of thin air can even be seen flying in the sky, sometimes even bursting suddenly.

As a humanoid fireball launcher, the red-robed Fisher immediately became extremely curious and interested in these fireballs.

After observing it for a long time, he immediately jumped into the air and flew towards a big, round fireball. He seemed to be trying to catch one and study it...

"Hey! That guy! Wait..."

A demon who noticed the mage's intention immediately widened his eyes, but just as he was about to speak to stop...

After a loud bang, a bald man with a charred body fell towards the team of the Dragon Knights.

A group of colleagues who showed no empathy immediately gave way.

There was another muffled sound that shook the earth.

Fisher, whose whole body was embedded in the rubble wasteland, immediately exhaled a puff of black smoke. It took him a long time to recover and glare at a group of people who were suppressing laughter, and said angrily:

"You bastards! Don't expect our Battle Mage Group to provide you with fire support when you go to the battlefield!"

"Captain, don't be angry! Didn't we just put on a new body and haven't gotten used to it yet? It would be great if we get lost again!"

"That's right!"

Only then did a group of colleagues pull up the red-robed mage who finally had hair and became bald again.

Yes... due to a deal made by their lord, they were able to have a new body in advance.

A... half-dragon body that still bears the obvious appearance of a devil in life.

Theoretically, only when a soul is twisted and shaped to the point where it is finally and truly killed can it essentially merge with the Nine Hells themselves.

Usually, the devil or god in a specific hell area will shape the shape of the Qilin according to their own preferences in their territory, in order to achieve a special and terrifying aesthetic.

Among them, the particularly evil ones will become lemures, and only the most evil among mortals can become lemures. No matter what gods they believed in during their lifetime, they will usually return to this form in the end.

Of course, lemures are looked down upon by all other devils, and they perform the most basic duties in any devil group in which they participate.

In any initial confrontation in a bloody battle, lemures serve as assault troops to attract enemy firepower, that is, they are literally cannon fodder.

Only when some extremely lucky lemures survive a few battles will they be promoted to...the devil's next form...the lemure.

Then they transitioned from the Needle Demon to the Inverted Hook Demon, which means that they have successfully entered the ranks of intermediate demons.

But it was obvious that there was not a single lemure in this unique army in front of them, and the lemures did not have such a powerful mind as they did.

This is also one of the reasons why the devils along the way frequently raise their eyebrows.

With so many transformations of middle and high-level devils, even if Bayer really becomes the real Archduke of Devils in Avernus one day, he will never be able to do this!

What can achieve such a miracle...

I'm afraid... there is only that... great being...

And for some reason, Bayer, who was walking at the front of the team and half a body behind Levi, looked a little ugly.

The combination of these circumstances makes the devils even more fanciful.

Because the posture shown by Levi at this moment is obviously the same as Bayer...

The highest form of the sixteenth-level devil—the Hell Fiend!

From the chest up, the Hell Fiend resembles a red dragon, with dark red scales, a ferocious dragon head with long horns, and a pair of wings hanging straight from the ground.

It's just that compared to the red dragon's animal body, the body of the Hell Fiend is closer to humanoid, strong and powerful.

Even in its normal form, it is twelve feet tall and is truly a giant creature.

It is also Levi’s favorite muscle-busting posture.

‘We can make do with it first.’ Levi continued to adapt to this new devil’s body along the way, and said silently in his heart.

As the ultimate form of the devil, the Hell Fiend is naturally recognized as powerful.

But that also depends on who you compare with. At least compared to Levi's own silver dragon body, which has integrated the talents and expertise of several major professions and successfully passed adulthood, it is obviously not good enough.

Even if he can change back to his original appearance through true transformation, the 'real' transformation feedback will also reflect various disadvantages.

The most direct point is that this body cannot allow him to breathe psionic energy.

What appeared in front of Levi at this moment was a rough fortress covering more than ten square kilometers and made entirely of bronze. On the city walls were erected all kinds of alchemical magic war machines that he had never seen before.

In the distance, you can vaguely see many soul shells working hard, lemures, and little devils constantly expanding the fortress.

Due to construction going on everywhere, bone scaffolding stands everywhere. In addition, at regular intervals, you can see bone pillars that are more than one kilometer high.

Seemingly aware of Levi's gaze, Bayer introduced from the side:

"That is the Pillar of Skulls, and it is also the trophy obtained by our Avernus, Bronze Fortress from the bloody battle. Each Pillar of Skulls is composed of at least the skulls of tens of thousands of demons."

And such skull pillars are endless at a glance.

It also represents the achievements Bayer has made in the Bronze Fortress over the years.

"The scenery is nice." Li Wei nodded and affirmed without any sign of contempt.

Although the scenery in front of him did not meet his aesthetic taste, it did not prevent him from hating the devil.

This is also the reason why he came here this time.

With the arrival of Levi's army and the return of Bayer and his party, all the devils on the city wall and even the workers stopped their work and looked towards them.

For some reason, they always feel like something big is about to happen.

But this situation soon broke with the whips and the wails of the soul workers.

The order of the Bronze Fortress always allowed them to redirect their attention to the work at hand in due course.

As they passed through twelve heavy city gates, they finally arrived at the bronze hall with rough and heavy decoration. A group of devils who had heard the news and came to the two sides were divided according to their positions.

On both sides of the end of the hall, eight Hell Fiends with different postures also stared at Levi who was striding forward with a strange look.

They...are clearly the Eight Dark Demon Generals.

Theoretically, they do not belong to any of the nine level lords, but on this day, they are gathered here again.

Perhaps the mental pressure caused by the eight Hell Fiends was so great that all the devils in the Bronze Hall were silent and could not even hear their breathing.

Only the heavy footsteps of Li Wei and the others echoed like war drums.

Then, under the dumbfounded gazes of all the devils, he sat in the palace that belonged to the Grand Duke Avernus...

On the bronze throne!

The original acting Grand Duke Bayer, who had already calmed down along the way, stood beside the throne with his arms crossed and an expressionless expression.

Perhaps it was the confused expressions of the devil's subordinates that made him a little unhappy, so Bayer said loudly:

"Bye bye!

"From now on, Lord Tiberius!

"He is the new Grand Duke of Avernus!

"Lord of the Bronze Fortress!

"The supreme commander of the bloody devil army!"

After a pause, the former acting Grand Duke looked around the audience and said:

"This is also...the will of our co-owner of the Nine Hells, His Majesty Asmodeus!"

Following Bayer's grand introduction, the entire bronze hall immediately fell into an eerie silence.

"..." The demons below looked as if they had seen a ghost.

Why...

This is probably the biggest question in the minds of the devil officers at this moment.
To be continued...
