Chapter 587: Scorched Lord

Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

Scorched Hell, Supreme Throne.

“My lord, Blackhand already set off for Devil Town… to get in touch with Young Master.” A Fallen Angel with black wings gave his report to the supreme existence on the throne.

“No need to call him Young Master. He might not necessarily recognize me as his grandfather.”

Diross’ deep voice echoed, “He will become Feinan’s hero. The Scorched Hell isn’t affiliated with him.”

The Fallen Angel wanted to say something, but hesitated.

He didn’t understand what kind of agreement that exceptional man had reached with the former Scorched Lord in order to gain his entire inheritance and all his forces. And since Diross supposedly decided to discard everything in the mortal world, why would he still treat this heir so favorably?

Moreover, he generously gifted the best bloodline of the missing Molten Archdevil and kept defending the boy secretly.

This was a great challenge for the Scorched Hell.

Especially last time, when Marvin entered the Temple of the Wilderness God, Diross almost made a move.

That kid was a troublesome one. His ability to stir up trouble was comparable to that of Demons.

He was standing against the Gods, a Demon Lord of the Abyss, the Overlords of the Negative Energy Plane.

But this wasn’t such a big issue.

After all, the Nine Hells, as one of the four major powers of the Universe, was already contending with the other three anyways.

But… it seemed like he was also about to become enemies with the Devils.

That guy was prepared to face everyone!

He had no feud with any particular Devil at this time, but from what the Fallen Angel had seen, the boy would kill his way to the Nine Hells sooner or later.

The kid was simply fearless and follow customs.

With all these thoughts swimming through his mind, the Fallen Angel eventually asked, “Since that’s the case, why did you send Blackhand to help him?”

Diross thought about it before slowly responding, “It was for two reasons.”

“First, this world needs some unruly ones. Marvin is outstanding, and he is the one that Lance chose to correct that [Wrong Future]. I hate Gods, but I don’t dislike Lance. I don’t think there will be too many uncertain variables in that guy’s calculations. Don’t look at all those Gods itching to deal with him, those are minor characters. Of the truly powerful ones, did you see any of them actually attack Marvin?”

“The most simple case would be the God of Dawn and Protection in the Nightmare Boundary. As long as he wanted, Marvin would have been annihilated, but he didn’t act.”

“That’s because, even if he is a New God, he is also one of the three Gods who came back from the Primal Chaos Fringe. He knows what he should do and what he shouldn’t.”

The Fallen Angel questioned with a doubtful expression, “So, attacking the Universe Magic Pool is something that he should do?”

Diross gave him a meaningful look as he asked rhetorically, “If Lance hadn’t hinted for them to do it, who would have dared to attack the Universe Magic Pool?”

The Fallen Angel immediately froze in place.

As a Greater Devil, to be able to have such a position, he naturally had outstanding strength and scheming ability.

He faintly felt that some of the things that Lord Diross told him today might be deeply involved with the future of the Universe!

As he was trying to think of all the implications, Diross suddenly changed topics. “The second reason… is very simple.”

“He is my grandson.”

“Until he is directly at war with Hell, whoever dares to make a move on him won’t be able to escape from the Scorched Hell.”

“I couldn’t get rid of that old guy before and hadn’t been careful enough, but now, I am the Scorched Lord. Hmpf!”

Viciousness flashed in Diross’ eyes as he asked ominously, “Have the coordinates of the Dream God’s God Realm been found?”

The Fallen Angel hurriedly told him, “No, the Dream God is a very crafty guy. It’s very difficult to find his God Realm. But we found one of the Secondary Planes that he controls…”

Diross sneered, “What are we waiting for? Let’s attack!”

His voice spread through the entire Scorched Hell!

In an instant, over a hundred thousand Devils were getting ready for battle!

Two Teleportation Doors appeared on a field.

The Scorched Hell’s Devil Army split in two and filed into both portals.

The Fallen Angel was a bit worried. “Attacking the Supreme Jungle and the Dream God’s Secondary Plane at the same time, isn’t it a bit too risky?”

Despite his aide’s worry, the man on the throne only said indifferently, “Killing a group of people that are about to die, where is the risk in that?”

…

Devil Town.

Marvin looked at the Devil Horseman with some shock.

Blackhand Bard.

He still remembered this name.

When Marvin used the Hell Corps Contract before, he had summoned him and a few Devil Horsemen, who helped Marvin to kill Balkh.

But this time, he had appeared before Marvin without being summoned.

This made Marvin feel a bit strange.

“My Lord already completed the last ordeal.”

Blackhand explained in a somewhat dull voice, “He knows about you competing with Saydis over Sodom’s Blades, so he sent me to help you.”

“With Saydis?”

Marvin astutely noticed Blackhand’s wording.

‘Isn’t Black Knight Sangore the one going after them?’

“We don’t have much time.”

“If you still want to fight over Sodom’s Blades, we have to talk on the way.”

Blackhand waved his hand and a low humming sound echoed.

Suddenly, Marvin and the Tomb Raider at his side saw huge changes in their surroundings.

The entire Devil Town suddenly turned from an absolutely empty town to an extremely lively one!

Devils were walking through the streets, and it looked like it was thriving!

But these Devils seemed to turn a blind eye to Marvin.

Marvin looked at all this, feeling stunned.

Devil Town, Saydis, his grandfather… This was only a trip to the Underdark, so how come it suddenly became so complicated?

But he decided to trust Blackhand this time.

Marvin believed that Blackhand had no reason to be working with Saydis to deceive him.

Although he was a Devil, Blackhand had the aura of the Scorched Hell, while Saydis did not.

They had different inheritances, so it was very unlikely for them to conspire together.

Thus, he followed Blackhand and quickly went through this completely new Devil Town.

The Tomb Raider clenched his teeth and followed closely behind.

And on the way, Blackhand told Marvin some very secret information.

After Marvin heard it all, he remained silent for a while before finally smiling bitterly.

‘Devil Town is really a town for Devils to live in.’

‘The Bloody Emperor also signed a contract with the Devils. I would never have expected that he had fallen into Devils’ trap…’

‘My grandfather truly became the Scorched Hell’s Lord, going from being a Human to becoming one of the peak powerhouses of the Universe.’

‘Furthermore, Blackhand said that he already started a war against the Dream God… What does it mean?’

‘Did he really send an army of Devils to the Dream God’s realms for me?’

The doubts in Marvin’s mind deepened.

He suddenly asked, “What is the [Myth] that Saydis talked about?”
