Isaiah?

Ji Chen nodded, hearing the long string of titles afterward, suddenly recalling a joke about a hotel accommodating a powerful guest.

– “My name is Isaiah, the Beast of Final Chaos, the Guardian of the Abyssal

Path, the Howling Beast of the Chaotic Forest…”

— “There are too many people here and not enough room, and besides, the inn

doesn’t allow pets.”

Seeing a slight change in Ji Chen’s expression, Isaiah’s eyes flashed with a hint of joy, and he whispered.

“Human, do people outside still talk about my reputation?

Ji Chen pushed aside these odd thoughts, neither denying nor affirming, “Perhaps, I suppose you were a formidable figure thousands of years ago; otherwise, Krieg wouldn’t have captured and locked you up here.”

Hearing this, Isaiah didn’t get angry but rather pleased, showing his teeth with a bit of pride. “Of course, those locked up here are all formidable beings. The weak ones don’t deserve to be here; they would’ve been killed by that lich long

ago!”

Ji Chen was speechless.

Alright, this beast didn’t seem very bright.

Isaiah seemed to find Ji Chen more agreeable, curling his hooves under his belly, lowering his entire body, and softening his tone.

“Human, you haven’t told me your name yet.”

Ji Chen snapped back, “I am Ji Chen, Lord of the Ocean Crown, Master of the

Stormy Sea.”

Isaiah pondered for a moment, then shook his head quite honestly, “Never heard of you.”

“Now you have.”

“Your name lacks the imposing aura of mine, and your titles are not as intimidating as mine.”

“…Indeed.”

For over twelve thousand years, most of the beings locked up here have been in a state of dormancy to reduce the expenditure and depletion of life energy, so Isaiah hadn’t had much interaction with intelligent beings in a long time.

Now it seemed he had found someone to talk to, and he spoke incessantly.

“How is the outside world?”

“Not too good.”

“Are the elves still fighting the dwarves?”

“That ended thousands of years ago. The dwarven Black Iron Fortress was destroyed by a fire demon, leaving them scattered, while the Elven Empire is now one of the most prosperous kingdoms.”

“That’s miserable. Those winter melon weapons of the dwarves are among the few things that can harm me. Some humans came wielding their weapons, trying to hunt me down for what I have, but in the end, I devoured them all.”

“But compared to humans and dwarves, I prefer elves because their promises are always kept, but humans say one thing and do another. Every time, it’s the same, all for what I possess.”

“…I don’t think I’m like that.”

“I’m not sure, but I recall a situation where a human, pursued by his own kin, crossed paths with me. He pleaded for the strength to seek revenge against his own kind, offering up an entire city of humans as a sacrifice in exchange.”

“Guess whether I agreed or not?”

Seeing the anticipation in Isaiah’s eyes, Ji Chen fell silent for a moment before responding very cooperatively, “You agreed?”

“I didn’t!”

“There isn’t much meat on humans, mostly just broken bones and a pile of filth, tastes worse than bugs, why would I eat them? After I refused, that human got very angry, and then I got angry too, and just gobbled him up.”

“Well, human, you still haven’t told me why you’re here? Even if that lich is gone, there should still be a large group of skeleton frames guarding outside.” Ji Chen breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting to a somewhat crucial topic.

“I killed Krieg.”

“Impossible.” Isaiah didn’t hesitate to refute, “That lich’s strength was already above epic, it’s been so long, he’s probably not far from being a demigod. How could you, an epic-tier, possibly have killed him?”

“But I really did kill him.”

“Human, you are not honest, deceiving Isaiah will not end well for you.” Ji Chen shrugged. “Believe it or not, it’s up to you. I even released two elves and a dwarf who were imprisoned here.”

“Elf and dwarf?”

Isaiah was stunned, following his memory to a corner of this space where indeed an elf and a dwarf were imprisoned.

They used to argue and quarrel often, very noisy.

But now, looking over, the cage where they were supposed to be imprisoned

was empty.

The cage door was wide open.

“Human, did you really release them!?” Isaiah couldn’t sit still, standing up, but before he could fully stand up, his antlers hit the top of the cage, triggering the prohibition of the cage.

A bolt of lightning erupted from the top of the cage.

“Roar!!”

Isaiah, struck by lightning, let out a low roar tinged with pain.

After tens of thousands of years, the alchemical cage created by the arch-hch Krieg still functioned, trapping countless powerful beings here.

Facing those large copper-bell eyes like house windows, Ji Chen nodded lightly.

With an affirmative response, Isaiah couldn’t contain his excitement any longer.

“Human, since you can release them, you can also release me.

Trapped for over twelve thousand years, Isaiah, like Elin and Thotmudo, was full of desires for freedom.

Trapped in this tiny space, facing the perpetually white walls, if it weren’t for being able to pass the long time through dormancy, he would have been driven insane long ago.

Feeling the fierce and eager gaze of this house-sized beast, mixed with a hint of pleading, Ji Chen smiled calmly.

Slowly he said,

“I have a deal, I don’t know if you’re interested?”

While the forces of the orderly camp were mobilizing in full swing.

The demons were also discussing the events in the main world.

On the side of the Demon Lord of Fear, the demon army.

“Encouraging the Holy Light Sect, the Fervent Flame Sect, and the Sun-chasing Sect to launch attacks on the New Moon Islands, along with the failed scheme against the Markus Empire, hasn’t significantly hindered the mobilization of the orderly faction. Instead, we’ve lost these crucial elements we planted in secret. Lord Darius really made a bad move,” a demon lord said casually.

“Hmph, so much resources, energy, and time spent corroding these three sects of the Light, only to be seen through by a Glory Lord in the end.

With a voluptuous figure and a face full of charm, the succubus commander said somewhat gleefully, “We’ve warned them early on to pay attention to this Glory Lord. Now look, the target wasn’t reached, the pieces are consumed, and we got nothing.”

Among the five demon kings of the demon race, there was no harmony, with competition and contradictions between them, and they were happy to see other demon king factions suffer.

Previously, when their faction, the Demon Lord of Fear, suffered at the hands of that Glory Lord, the other Demon King factions didn’t hold back in mocking them, making them angry but unable to retort, with the Void Demon King faction being the most severe.

With the Void Demon King Darius’ faction facing such a significant setback and squandering the three pawns from the Light Church, this failure was even more critical than losing a strategic outpost as they did previously.

Balzarna listened to the words of his subordinates, feeling slightly better.

Darius’ foolish actions this time, at least, relieved some of the pressure for him so that the gods wouldn’t solely blame him.

At this point, even if Balzarna was arrogant, he realized that the Glory Lord was not just an ordinary epic tier. If he were to casually use pawns to try to deal with him prematurely, the situation would become even worse.

That Glory Lord was no longer someone that pawns could handle.

With this in mind, Balzarna spoke with solemnity, “From now on, do not use pawns to deal with that Glory Lord. It’s meaningless. We only need to break through the rules barrier of the main world on schedule and then advance with our army.

No matter how cunning he may be, he can only watch helplessly as we crush everything he has one by one!”

This was their plan. Since petty tricks couldn’t succeed, they would use their magnificent military might to confront the enemy head-on.

Even if they had suffered losses before, it was only a small part of all their power.

The orderly forces of the main world thought they liked playing petty tricks and conspiracies, but little did they know that their most powerful force was the vast demon army numbering in the tens of thousands, even millions.

Balzarna continued in a deep voice.

“This time, we must conquer the main world as quickly as possible, turning all races into our slaves, so that we can concentrate the resources of the entire world to develop to our full potential… After all, there isn’t much time left for this plane.”

Many demon lords and commanders nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with seriousness and gravity.

For them, the greatest enemy was not the orderly forces of the main world.

It was something incredibly distant yet also close at hand.

That being had chosen them demons over elves, humans, and other orderly forces.

This meant that it stood on their side, believing that they had the capability to overcome the imminent crisis..
