Chapter 2578 - 1125: Just Who Is Threatening Whom? (Part 3)
This is not something to boast about, after all, flying is no faster than running.
"Give up, you have nowhere to escape." The Voice of Grazte fell silent for only a few minutes before threatening again, "As long as you can’t completely get rid of me, you can’t use the portal. I just need to delay you for a few seconds, and Lord Archial will be summoned.
Giving up the scroll of the Wealth Goddess and cooperating with me is your only choice."
"If I haven’t guessed wrong, your goal to seize the scroll of the Wealth Goddess isn’t for Prince Ubar, but to claim it for yourself!"
Gaven certainly would not let the opponent lead him by the nose and instead confronted them head-on.
"My loyalty to His Majesty is known throughout the Bottomless Abyss, and is documented." The Voice of Grazte denied it flippantly, "You won’t use such poor tactics to sow discord between me and His Majesty."
"Tsk..." Gaven couldn’t help but chuckle coldly, "If you really are as loyal and selfless as you claim, where were you during the brawl in Zelata?
And where were you when Baron Blood was chasing me?
If you had joined forces with him, perhaps your unexpected tracking abilities could really have posed a significant threat to me.
Isn’t that the best proof of your selfishness?
So, don’t dress yourself up as being noble, it’s useless.
You want the Wealth Goddess Woken’s contract just to disguise yourself as her, take her place, and usurp her divine position.
Such theft can only be conducted in secret. Now, the Lord of War, Tempus, already knows that Prince Ubar has publicly played him for a fool, do you think he will sit back and let this happen?
As long as you dare to extend your tentacles into the Felen Continent, you are sure to be attacked by a group.
Now Prince Ubar has been self-imprisoned in his territory for a hundred years, do you feel your safety in the Bottomless Abyss is still guaranteed?
Although my power isn’t too great, it’s certainly not small.
If I am determined to seek revenge at all costs, do you think you can still walk freely in the Bottomless Abyss?"
With the enhancement of his power, Gaven’s methods also became more diverse, including intimidation and threats.
This was built on his recent illustrious achievements, especially leading the Demigod Adventure Team publicly to kill the incarnations of Baron Blood, and two of them at that.
One might have been luck.
Two, that was purely a reflection of strength.
Believing that this matter has spread through the Bottomless Abyss, those below the level of Minor Divine Power need to consider carefully before provoking Gaven, including the Voice of Grazte.
Once he gets targeted by a group of demigods, his title as a demon diplomat might as well be discarded.
He would have to obediently follow Prince Grazte of the Ubar, self-imprisoned in Azegrat for a century.
Even after a century, it doesn’t guarantee safety.
They not only constantly grow, but Prince Ubar’s protection is not absolute. The Lord of War, Tempus, was able to restrain him once and can do it a second time.
Once locked on, his fate can be easily imagined.
The Voice of Grazte couldn’t ignore this, caution being his unfailing way to thrive in the Bottomless Abyss for years, needing to rise above Prince Ubar’s protection.
"If I let you leave, you must sign a contract not to seek revenge on me." The Voice of Grazte vividly exhibited the self-interest of demons.
Compared to Prince Ubar’s interests, his own interests were more important.
"A contract can be signed, but you must ensure our safe exit from Azegrat and provide us with the corresponding passage." Gaven exploited the situation.
The Voice of Grazte angrily said, "You are forcing me to betray His Majesty, which is absolutely impossible. Moreover, it’s not me you should be asking, but Lady Marreta whom you have already subdued.
It is said that in Samoray, there is a secret passage to other planes that even Lord Ubar does not know of."
Outwardly refusing, he was actually pointing out a path for Gaven.
"Marreta?" When Gaven heard this name, he couldn’t help but curse silently.
This damned succubus still hid something from him.
If there is really a secret portal in Samoray, it means he has gone around in circles and returned to the original point, unnecessarily taking huge risks.
But upon careful thought, this also made sense.
She was coerced and was never truly on his side.
She would not disobey his orders, yet he couldn’t expect her to voluntarily share the information she held, especially to help him escape Azegrat.
The longer they remained in Azegrat, the higher the chance of facing Prince Ubar head-on, increasing the likelihood of her being freed.
Little did she expect Gaven to be so prepared.
Even when confronted with Prince Ubar, it was Grazte who ultimately suffered the loss.
Soon after, there was new intelligence feedback from Daphne, "The succubi have confessed. Samoray indeed possesses a portal, but it is in a semi-abandoned state and can only be activated at specific times. They also do not have the ability to manipulate this portal.
It is half a month before this portal opens.
Therefore, they did not inform the master of this matter.
It doesn’t lead to other planes, but to the legendary Endless Heavenly Ladder."
Under the lead of Marreta, the Succubus Manipulators fully demonstrated what limited cooperation meant.
When asked, they would definitely answer, and they would tell everything, not daring to use any means or deception.
But if not asked, they would not voluntarily disclose information useful to Gaven.
Gaven responded, "Death penalty can be avoided, but living punishments cannot. Lock them all into the Shadow Confinement, let them sober up and recognize who their true master is from now on."
Previously, there was no time to deal with them, now having an excuse, it was naturally to be fully utilized.
Towards these demons, so-called appeasement and education do not work.
They would regard you as weak and easy to deceive. If left unchecked, they are sure to become insatiable.
