"..." Bing Nu Shen flipped her ice-cold gaze across all the people she now called her subjects, as her indescribably dazzling black eyes found themselves honed onto the stalwart figure of a man who could only be described as an immortal in human form.
This god-like man was staring at her with a gentle smile, looking at her like she was the only woman in the world (from her perspective).
It was this very look that left her icy heart in a state of disarray.
How is he always able to do that…? With that stupid face of his… And that stupid smile…
If not for her needing to keep up appearances and the four sets of eyes staring daggers at her, then she definitely would've already shown a crimson red blush that would in no way fit the ryrannical demeanor that she was meant to keep up…
After a few minutes of getting out a few words and speaking with all those who would be directly working under her and keeping things in check while she was in the Starry Expanse, Bing Nu Shen finally had her turn to talk to the Crimson Devil Lord.
"So, about that night-" Just as she was about to say something to him, an aura oozing arrogance erupted from the endless skies as tens of thousands of hooded figures materialized out of nowhere!
And the most inexplicable thing about these new arrival's was the fact that not a single one of their cultivations was below the 1st Stage of Lunar Ascendancy!
Furthermore, those in the 1st Stage of Lunar Ascendancy were part of the minority, as a few of them possessed auras that rivaled that of the Crimson Devil Lord, even surpassing it…
"..." Azmodeus expressionlessly stared up at the new arrivals as he let out a sigh—a sigh that was meant to conceal the wide smirk that emerged on his face when he saw so many whales offer themselves up on a golden platter, ready to be gobbled up whole!
This is going to be a far more lucrative celebration than what I originally anticipated…
After this thought entered his calculative mind, he waited for the floating, cloaked figures to speak first.
And he didn't have to wait long, as the leading cloaked man with a frame that could be considered quite frail slowly took off his hood, revealing a face that looked as if it had been through many eras, exhibiting the fullest extent of what time could do to a person.
However, the oddest thing about this man wasn't his aged appearance; rather, it was the fact that he had two crosses interlocked on top of one another inside both of his pitch black eyes, leaving a stark contrast to the rest of his decrepit body.
"So you are the NPC who was able to kill one of us Main Characters…"
The old man's voice seemed to shake the very foundation of time and space as he unleashed a cacophony of sounds—sounds that bounced off every inch of space, resulting in the shuddering of all beings gathered at the ceremony.
Whether they were in the Body Refinement Realm or the Lunar Ascendancy Realm, it didn't matter in the face of this ethereal old man…
The Main Characters…? So this one is another system user…
Let me see if that original Main Character guy has any idea who this old man is…
Azmodeus's thoughts were churning as he scanned over a series of memories that he had absorbed a few years ago.
And after looking into the Hero Association part of the memories, he was able to understand that this old man was one of the oldest members of the Hero Association and also one of the only ones near the Peak Stages of the Comet's Passage Realm.
After understanding who he was dealing with, he got ready to stand up from his seat and use up his Evolution Essence in order to take care of this Main Character.
But before he could, a sudden phenomenon occurred to the east side of the venue…
CRACKLE! KWAZOOOM!
Intense energies were being shot out at levels that couldn't be described in words, as entire sections of the Endless Ocean were being evaporated with every step that a…
"Is that a dragon!?" A Mahayana Realm guest from the crowd exclaimed, as he looked at what appeared to be a dragon the size of a universe!
This dragon was moving across the Endless Ocean at ludicrous speeds, skimping atop the water.
It was originally just an energy emission dot in the distance, until a second passed and the dragon became the size of a large building, fully displaying the extent of its speed!
And it didn't look like the dragon was planning to stop its charging anytime soon, as it even looked like it was increasing its speed!
"Is that dragon planning to flatten the venue!?"
"Are we going to die!?"
"What about the Ice Empress and the Crimson Devil Lord!? Can't they do something about this situation!?"
"What are they going to do, you idiot?? How is anyone supposed to compete with something as large as that dragon!?"
Everyone was starting to freak out among the crowd as they looked toward the Crimson Devil Lord and Ice Empress for guidance.
Bing Nu Shen looked at the terrified group of people and universe-size dragon statue bum rushing the venue with a face oozing of composure.
However, that was all just a facade put up in order to keep the people calm, as on the inside, she couldn't be more confused about what was going on.
And if she were being honest, then she was expecting the Crimson Devil Lord to have some miraculous solution for this quagmire they all found themselves in.
Luckily for her, that wish came true, as Azmodeus flipped his piercing gaze across all the Main Characters before seeing what was clearly the Dragon Land Alliance.
So that statue was a living thing, huh?
He figured it was part of the living after feeling that intense gaze bore into his back when he was at the Dragon Land Alliance HQ, but he never would've expected the statue to be so powerful…
