Within Chaos Purgatory, a giant fortress built of massive black rocks stood quietly in the center of a scorching plain crisscrossed by magma rivers.
This giant fortress is called "Sin City" and is the center of the territory of Azmodan, the "Sin King" and one of the Seven Demon Lords of Hell.
The King of Sin is the only one among all the demon kings who has built a city in the center of his territory. He has a slightly different philosophy from his brothers who believe in personal strength above all else.
Under Azmodan's command, he controls a huge elite demon army that is one of the best in the entire Chaos Purgatory.
Its domain, the Domain of Sin, is filled with various large and small black rock battle fortresses built by these demonic legions.
The King of Sin is the only demon king who has a clear division of labor among his demon troops. He is also an excellent strategic and tactical expert.
For a long time, Azmodan has always been behind any large-scale demonic invasion on the Eternal Battlefield and other large battlefields.
Its brothers are willing to take advantage of its mastery of warfare, even if it costs them some money.
Azmodan's status in Chaos Purgatory is like that of a mercenary. He will bring his troops to help whoever pays a higher price.
Sometimes, it will even intervene in disputes and civil wars between demon kings - as long as there is war, there will be a gap between interests and evil.
However, these days, the King of Sin has rarely closed his territory.
It is waiting for a result, a result that will greatly increase its power and authority.
In the City of Sin, in a huge arena, two teams of bloody demon barbarians were fighting each other crazily.
They waved the huge war hammers in their hands and smashed their opponents on the head, not caring that the opponent was probably their comrade who would fight side by side in the next battle.
The surroundings of the arena were filled with the frenzied roars and excited roars of countless demons. Every time a demon barbarian had its head smashed, the bloody scene of brains splattering would always trigger a series of crazy roars.
This kind of gladiatorial activity is the norm in the Realm of Sin. In the Realm of Sin, almost every demon battle fortress will have such a giant gladiatorial arena.
The master of this domain prohibits private fights among the demons under his command, but allows them to openly vent their hatred and anger on their opponents in the arena.
Sin City, as its name suggests, is filled with all kinds of evil deeds.
But what is surprising is that these "evils" are all "reasonable" in this field.
As long as you act smart enough, the lord's guards will turn a blind eye to your evil deeds.
This is the biggest feature of the realm of sin - it has an "order" unique to this realm.
An order based on killing and crime.
Bloody gladiatorial fights in the Grand Arena have always been the favorite sideshows of the masters in this realm.
When Azmodan has nothing else to do, he spends most of his time in this grand arena in the City of Sin.
Occasionally, it will even go out in person and encourage other demons to challenge itself by promising some rewards that are hard to refuse.
Of course, these rewards cannot be redeemed in the end.
Because all challengers eventually died.
But today, in the "VIP auditorium" of the Grand Arena, although the sin lord was watching the battle as usual, he was not as interested as usual.
Azmodan's appearance is a huge monster with a spider-like lower body, a human upper body like a mountain of flesh, and an indescribably terrifying demon head.
Its body is huge and terrifying, and there are four magic eyes on its head that emit light like magma.
Azmodan's fat belly has a big mouth full of sharp teeth, and a pair of huge demonic horns extend from its back, coming together to stab into the sky.
Its body is covered with luxurious ornaments in gold and red, and the huge gold demon skull belt in front of the big mouth on its abdomen looks both luxurious and terrifying.
The King of Sin's body is five meters tall, and the giant spider legs on its lower body make it look as intimidating as a spider tank.
At this moment, the Sin Demon King was quietly staring at the bloody battle in the arena ahead with its two pairs of eyes that emitted dim yellow light, but its mind was not at all on the battle.
At this moment, a demon barbarian wearing heavy armor, holding a red battle ax, and having a blue body walked up to it and reported to it in demonic language: "Your Highness, Lady Setia is trying to contact you.
Do you want to answer her call?"
"Setia..." Azmodan's hoarse voice had a hint of depth.
It thought for a moment, then nodded: "Respond to her, I will respond personally."
"Yes, Your Highness." The demon barbarian soldier replied respectfully, and then slowly retreated.
Azmodan stretched out his right hand and made a move in the void in front of him, and a curtain glowing like lava slowly opened in mid-air.
Within the curtain, Setia's face slowly appeared in front of it.
"Greetings to you, Your Highness."
Setia bowed respectfully.
Even with her status, she did not dare to make any mistakes when facing the evil lord.
This King of Sin believes in the doctrine that "with order comes chaos, and with rules comes evil." Even the Three Demon Gods are inferior to him in terms of methods of controlling his subordinates.
"No need to be polite, just tell me, what trouble did you encounter?"
Azmodan's hoarse voice revealed calmness and confidence, making Setia, who was already anxious on the other side, relax instantly.
"Your Highness, our plan has been progressing smoothly before, but now it has encountered unexpected obstacles."
"Oh? What's the obstacle?"
"Angels intervened..."
"Angel?" Azmodan narrowed his eyes in surprise, and a stream of sulfurous flames rose from his terrifying mouth filled with molten fire.
"It is the garrison legion that the angels put in the Black Rock World. The High Heaven agreed to the human request, gathered all these legions and sent them to the human war zone we are attacking for reinforcements."
Setia's words were somewhat beyond Azmodan's expectations. In its plan, the chance of angel intervention should be so small that it is almost negligible.
After all, although there is an important World Stone connection point in the late winter war zone, it is not a key war zone for the High-level Heaven. Logically speaking, human beings' request for help should not be able to pass the vote of the Angris Council.
"Your Highness, our plan mainly focuses on the time difference that humans cannot fully react to. In the Black Rock World without teleportation stations, their troops simply cannot reinforce the rear of the raided war zone in time.
But if the Angel Legion intervenes, with their mobility, the stronghold we have deployed behind the human war zone is likely to have problems."
Setia was a little anxious. After all, this was related to her promotion task, so she couldn't help but be anxious.
"I know...I have to admit, this is indeed..."
Azmodan raised his head and looked at the sulfur-filled sky above Sin City.
