Chapter 2562 - 1120: Diverting Calamity Eastward (Part 2)
The tentacle they severed previously was not from the true form of Demon Prince Demogorgon, but rather one of his demonic incarnations.
The reason is simple: the Demon Prince is reputed to be the most formidable existence in the Bottomless Abyss, overpowering Prince Grazte of Ubar, forcing him to ally with Undead Lord Okas to contend against him.
Previously, Prince Grazte with just one hand could suppress the true form of the Father of Combat, Uthgar, making him unable to lift his head.
If the true form of Demon Prince Demogorgon had really attacked them earlier, they wouldn’t have severed his tentacle; instead, he would have crushed them with just one.
Therefore, it’s reasonable that Demon Prince Demogorgon didn’t immediately pursue the Six-armed Snake Demon.
At this, Gaven was only disappointed, not surprised, and said to the Six-armed Snake Demon, "I need to extract the essence of Demogorgon from you for other uses."
Since Demon Prince Demogorgon didn’t come after them himself, they would use his essence as a medium to summon him.
This is the backup plan Gaven previously mentioned to the Queen of the Succubi.
The rivalry between Demon Prince Demogorgon and Prince Grazte of Ubar for the title of Demon Lord is well-known.
The two have fought not once or twice.
However, most conflicts occur on agent territory, with direct incursions into each other’s territories being extremely rare.
If the demonic incarnation of Demon Prince Demogorgon were summoned into Azegrat, it would surely result in a spectacular drama.
"Extract the purified essence of Demogorgon from me? I can’t allow that. It’s my trump card, and I hope to use this ability to defeat Shakateli and become the new queen of the Six-armed Snake Demon!"
The Six-armed Snake Demon refused without thinking, having her own plans, especially in such a high-stakes scenario, where her sense of urgency was heightened.
"I’m merely informing you, not seeking your opinion." Gaven wouldn’t indulge her whims as before, pointing at her as the War Ravager.
The Six-armed Snake Demon flew towards him uncontrollably.
"No..." The Six-armed Snake Demon struggled with all her might, to no avail.
Gaven rarely used this ability to suppress her, making her almost forget she was a prisoner, unable to fully control her fate.
The Six-armed Snake Demon transformed into a pure soul energy mass, with wisps of black mist being extracted, leaving behind a bluish-green light orb.
Under normal circumstances, once the purified essence entered the body, even Gaven, the instigator, would find it difficult to extract it.
After all, he had no control over that energy, and once the purified essence entered the target body, it would integrate with their soul and body.
The Six-armed Snake Demon, however, wasn’t a normal case; she had been under the control of Undead Divine Power from the beginning, with Weizemay Manor having a memory of it.
What Gaven needed to do now was archive her, restoring everything to the moment she was summoned to the Material Plane.
Once the soul of the Six-armed Snake Demon was extracted, what remained was the purified essence of Demogorgon.
This was against the norm, yet effective.
"My strength! My strength!! My strength!!!"
The Six-armed Snake Demon Ophelia, in a soul state, wails, as if mourning the loss of a loved one.
Gaven couldn’t bother with her, placing her directly into the War Ravager, focusing on the purified essence of the Demon Prince.
He could clearly feel its tremors, as though it might slip into the void and return to its master the next second.
"You want to return to your master? Fine, but it’s not you going back; your master will come to retrieve you."
Gaven silently chanted, adding the final spark, infusing a large amount of Road Divine Power into the purified essence.
He paved a path for the master of this purified essence to come here, a process he was well-versed in.
With the support of his Road Divine Power, and the immense strength of the Demon Prince himself, Azegrat’s teleportation sealing was rendered useless.
"Audacious thief, you actually dared to come to the Bottomless Abyss!"
"All thieves deserve to die, all must be dead."
Though not yet arrived, two distinct voices were heard, one cold and cunning, the other filled with endless berserk.
A severely twisted figure made its way along the path Gaven laid out.
This twisted figure resembled a grotesque doll, pieced together with numerous different organs on a single creature.
It had a giant humanoid body with strong lizard legs, covered in scales, while its body was covered in bluish-green fur and a thick, bifurcated tail.
With a pair of robust human-like arms, it branched into two gigantic tentacles at the elbows, resembling octopus tentacles, covered in viscous slime and filled with eerie suction cups.
However, it was missing one tentacle arm, the break uneven as if forcibly severed.
Its head was similar to a berserk baboon, with matted hair, deep-set eyes, and a mouth full of protruding fangs, with two heads, left and right, quite symmetrical in appearance but vastly different in expression.
The left head bore no expression, cold eyes sweeping about, seemingly scrutinizing everything around.
The right head displayed endless berserk rage, as if intent on tearing out everything in front of it.
