Chapter 230: Subjugating the Demon Race, John’s Plan



"I submit!"

"I agree too, human-please, withdraw these flames..."

Solondz and Narmaya, struggling in agony, immediately agreed to sign the soul contract.

John, seeing their willingness to submit, retracted the Red Lotus Fire.

"Whew..." The two of them sighed in relief, collapsing to the ground, faces pale and drenched in cold sweat.

It was their first time feeling death so close.

And not just any death-the kind of death that would erase their very existence.

"Sign the contract." John summoned two soul contracts, which floated before them.

The two exchanged glances, filled with reluctance, but dared not resist any further. The human in front of them truly had the power to kill them.

Buzz!

The soul contracts were signed. With a respectful bow, the two of them said in unison, "Greetings, my lord."

"Rise," John responded indifferently.

"Godslayer, what have you done?!" Kamal's voice was filled with fury upon witnessing this scene. Solondz and Narmaya were the strongest in the Demon Race, yet they had been subdued so effortlessly?

John ignored her and turned his gaze back to Michelle, who was still frozen by the Intimidation skill. With a thought, he withdrew his soul power.

Whoosh!

Michelle regained his mobility and immediately retreated, his eyes filled with wariness as he watched John.

"I don't want to harm you," John said calmly. "Sign the soul contract with me."

"In your dreams!" Michelle roared angrily. Despite his fear, he refused to lower his head. "Godslayer, I don't believe you dare kill me!"

"Hmph," John sneered. "Out of respect for Sini, I won't kill you. But I can erase your memory."

As he spoke, he glanced over at Kamal.

Both Michelle and Kamal's expressions changed instantly.

They had already witnessed John's terrifying power. His soul force was so deep and unfathomable that he likely could erase their memories with ease.

John continued, "This is your last chance-sign the soul contract, or I'll have no problem turning you into a mindless fool!"

A soul imprint floated in front of Michelle. He swallowed hard, glaring at John with anger. Seeing that John wasn't bluffing, he hesitated for a long moment before choosing to yield. Buzz!

Michelle infused the soul imprint with his soul force, successfully signing the soul contract with John.

"My lord!" Michelle bowed deeply, not daring to show any hint of dissatisfaction in his expression.

Kamal, standing by the side, gritted her teeth but ultimately accepted the reality without a word.

John nodded in satisfaction.

With both the Beast Clan and the Demon Race under his control, the remaining weaker races -whose strongest members were merely lower-tier gods-were of little consequence. Whether or not they submitted was no longer important.

However, even with the combined power of the Beast Clan and the Demon Race, confronting the gods was still impossible.

The three major factions under the gods-Angel Race, Dark Humans, and Orcs-each had power that was in no way inferior to his current forces.

If they wanted to enter the Void Area and rescue the sealed powerhouses of various races, a long-term strategy would be necessary.

Roar... Roar...

Suddenly, a series of deafening roars echoed from afar, and fierce winds began to churn. The sky grew dark, shrouded by a massive, oppressive shadow.

"Hunters!" Michelle's face changed, and he couldn't help but swallow nervously.

These creatures were known for their terrifying ability to devour even god-level beings. "Why are there so many of them all of a sudden?" Kamal gazed at the vast black mass in the distance, blocking out the sun and casting everything into darkness as if night had fallen. The number of Hunters appearing this time was estimated to be at least one billion! "My lord, what should we do?" Solondz and Narmaya looked to John for guidance.

With so many Hunters attacking, there was no way they could hold them back. If things went poorly, the entire Demon Race could be annihilated.

Seeing the swarming Hunters, John felt a chill down his spine.

These creatures had likely been attracted by the Hunter hatred imprint on him-they were

targeting him.

If he left, the Demon Race might be spared from disaster.

"They're after me?" A thought struck him.

What if he led this massive swarm of Hunters to the gods' Void Area?

He hadn't yet figured out a way to contend with the gods, but these creatures were like a gift

from the heavens.

John still remembered how much gods and the Angel Race attracted these Hunters.

This plan just might work!

Having made up his mind, he turned to Michelle and immediately ordered, "Summon all the demigod-level powerhouses of the Demon Race and prepare to attack the Void Area." "What? My lord, with just the strength of the Demon Race, we don't stand a chance against them. It would be suicide!" Michelle protested, unwilling to accept the order.

He didn't care much about the lives of his subordinates, but he certainly wouldn't agree to putting the entire Demon Race at risk of extinction.

"I know." John didn't bother explaining and spoke coldly, "Do as I say."

He then turned to Tony and commanded, "Tony, inform the Beast Clan right away. Gather all demigod-level and stronger warriors and prepare to attack the Void Area."

"Understood!" Tony glanced at the dark swarm of Hunters in the sky and seemed to

understand John's plan. He said nothing more and turned to leave.

"Despicable human!" A hoarse, angry voice echoed. Leading the Hunters was a demigod-

level creature-Munir.

It was the one who had once helped John, commanding the Hunters to detonate the Undying Flame and destroy the seal on the Ancient Battlefield Ruins.

Now, seeing John again, Munir was filled with rage. "Last time, I helped you in good faith and didn't intend to become your enemy. But you dared kill our Queen Mother! You will pay with

your life!"

With a furious roar, Munir led the Hunters in a fierce charge.

John remained unperturbed as he watched the oncoming Hunters. With a wave of his hand, countless sword blades rained down, slaughtering large swathes of Hunters-yet he

deliberately spared Munir.

"Hmph, you want revenge for the Queen Mother? Let's see if you've got what it takes!" he

taunted with a cold smile, turning to flee.

"Human, you won't escape!" Munir, blinded by fury, completely ignored the nearby Demon

Race members and chased after him relentlessly.

Just as expected!

John couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As he ran, he continued launching attacks at the

Hunters behind him.

Each attack gave Munir just enough leeway to dodge effortlessly.

Whoosh...

Endless Hunters roared past, stirring up fierce whirlwinds as they pursued.

Michelle and the others staggered back in fear, their faces pale with cold sweat as they

watched the massive swarm of Hunters pass overhead.

In a single day, they had faced two life-and-death crises.

One was brought by John, and the other by these Hunters.

"That was close!" Narmaya exhaled deeply, feeling a wave of relief as the Hunters finally left.

Nearby, Avis shouted angrily, "What are you standing around for? Get the Demon Race's army together and help the master attack the Void Area!"

"Huh?" Michelle was stunned for a moment before realizing, "The lord intends to use these Hunters against the gods?"

Solondz and Narmaya's eyes lit up in realization. "That might really work to breach the gods'

defenses!"

Michelle immediately commanded, "Summon all demigod-level and above powerhouses!"

He then turned to Kamal, giving her a serious instruction: "Kamal, you will stay behind. If anything goes wrong, you'll lead the Demon Race to safety and prevent our total

annihilation."

Kamal was taken aback, and with a worried expression, she asked, "Why? With so many Hunters, are they still not enough to bring down the gods?"

Michelle smiled bitterly and sighed, "Everyone underestimates Heidern's power. The Overseer controls an entire domain. In his territory, he's invincible. Our only hope is that the

Godslayer can break into the Sealed Grounds and resurrect The Immortals. That's the only way

we might stand a chance."

Kamal's face turned solemn. She took a long look at Michelle and nodded firmly. "Don't

worry. I know what to do. If your plan fails, I'll lead the Demon Race to retreat into Death

Land."

Michelle nodded in acknowledgment. The Demon Race's army quickly assembled, numbering over a thousand strong, but most were merely demigod-level powerhouses.

There were over a hundred lower-tier gods and only three mid-tier gods-Michelle, Solondz,

and Narmaya. Instead of heading directly to the Void Area, they flew rapidly toward the Eternal Forest.

They needed to wait until the gods' forces were fully engaged with the Hunters before making

their move.

...

Beast Clan Territory

A massive dragon soared into the sky, its wings spread wide. Its long, winding body resembled an unbroken chain of mountain peaks. The terrifying aura it emitted caused all nearby creatures to prostrate themselves on the ground, trembling uncontrollably. It was the upper-tier god of the Beast Clan-Ans-Dragon.

"Go!" he roared, leading the powerhouses of the Beast Clan towards the Eternal Forest as

well.

Ans-Dragon's enormous form twisted and turned in the sky, stirring up a storm. Then, in a flash of light, he transformed into a dignified middle-aged man, a silver spear in hand. "Ben!" He turned to Ben and asked again, "Are you sure you've foreseen this plan's success?"

"Absolutely!" Ben nodded with certainty.

"Good!" Ans-Dragon asked no further questions and instantly appeared at the front of the

formation.

"Ben." At this moment, Tony approached, speaking in a low voice, "Will this plan really

succeed?"

Ben furrowed his brows and whispered, "I'm not sure. I saw some figures-the godly

powerhouses of the Beast Clan who had once fallen-but I didn't see any sign of The

Immortals."

"Why not?" Tony asked, puzzled. If the long-dead god-level beings of the Beast Clan could

be resurrected, that would indicate the plan was a success.

Moreover, The Immortals were even stronger than those gods. How could they not be

resurrected?

Ben hesitated for a moment before replying softly, "I suspect that the Godslayer may be using

The Immortals' power, draining their soul force to perform the reversal of heaven and earth, defying fate itself. The Immortals might have been completely erased."

Tony's expression shifted, and he asked, "Then how are we supposed to fight the gods?"

Ben shook his head and continued, "The Godslayer should be the key to everything. Let's go. We'll find out soon enough."

The two stopped discussing further and followed the Beast Clan's army, rapidly headingNôv(el)B\\jnn

toward the Eternal Forest.

...

Meanwhile, John was leading the massive horde of Hunters through the Eternal Forest,

fleeing toward the depths of the Void Area.

His speed with Sword Flight was exceptionally fast, far outpacing the Hunters, forcing him to intentionally slow down and occasionally launch attacks to provoke them.

Munir, caught up in its blind rage, had gathered all the Hunters, vowing to kill John this time

and avenge the Queen Mother.

"Human, you won't escape. Surrender and die!" It roared repeatedly, chasing John

relentlessly.

"Hmph, pathetic creatures. Want to kill me? Catch me first!" John taunted them over and

over, infuriating his pursuers further.
