Chapter 367: Chapter 367: "Judgment" Mephistopheles
Sterl, having a life-saving trump card, waited a few seconds, giving face to the divine-level demon.
However, since the Swallowing Heaven players were calling for their deaths, Sterl had no intention of indulging them.
With a swift motion, he struck back and claimed the activity contribution.
He didn't hide his actions, as Mephistopheles' current power level was at least on par with Lovic, a hidden Supreme.
Such figures had little need for activity contributions.
Sterl's act of seizing contributions would only be interpreted as venting his anger, without any other implications.
Seeing this, the demons and players in the sky, who had previously mocked him, were too busy to pay attention to Sterl's public extraction of contributions. They first scattered in terror, frantically distancing themselves from Mephistopheles.
Yet, their faces soon broke into radiant smiles. They didn't dare to insult him any longer, fearing that Mephistopheles might set his sights on them next, but in their hearts, they felt immense satisfaction.
"Good! Good!"
"Before the divine-level demon descended, you were so reckless, but now you dare to slap the face of the Succubus Queen right in front of her. How could she possibly let you go? I'd rather kick your head off and use it as a ball!"
The majesty of a god is not to be offended; that is an ironclad rule.
The three Supremes below wore similarly respectful expressions towards the Queen, yet their bodies trembled continuously.
They couldn't laugh!
Absolutely couldn't laugh!
Hold it in!
Only Flanda stood there, completely dumbfounded.
Earlier, when she had been coldly addressed by the Queen, it hadn't felt as chilling as this moment.
Mephistopheles, do you enjoy courting death this much?
In front of the Queen, even Licitris wouldn't let you off just to maintain his own dignity; otherwise, how could he command an entire layer of hell?
Sterl floated calmly in the air. He hadn't anticipated that, after his almost provocative attack, the situation remained eerily calm.
He wasn't planning to leave just yet; instead, he wanted to observe the Succubus Queen's capabilities as a deity before using his escape item. Sterl's style was to squeeze every bit of utility out of everything.
What if, in the future, he might have to confront the Succubus Queen? The more information he gathered, the better equipped he would be.
But the divine-level demon remained unmoving for quite some time...
Sterl hesitated for less than half a second.
So, what are we waiting for? Let's continue the killing!
Sterl's wrist twitched slightly, gathering another Flowing Water blade. Just as he was about to act, the three Supremes suddenly stepped in front of him.
"Mephistopheles, aren't you going to stop?"
"Do you really disregard Her Majesty the Queen?"
"Dare you harm our comrades again?"
Each of them exuded a righteous air, and anyone unaware would think they were beings from the main world, showing no trace of demonic demeanor.
On the surface, the three Supremes aimed to block Sterl, but in reality, their full attention was on the Queen. At the same time, their words were intended to provoke Mephistopheles, hoping he would not only slaughter players from their faction but also utter disrespectful words about the Queen.
Then Mephistopheles would be doomed, right?
Sterl found the situation amusing. The three Supremes were trying to block him, but they were still quite far away. If Sterl truly wanted to strike, they wouldn't be able to react in time.
These people were quite humorous...
Sterl slowly gathered his energy, and the surrounding space began to solidify.
Clearly, many were left completely bewildered in the face of such a bizarre twist of events.
Fortunately...
There were still a few who remained calm in this moment, and it was Sterl.
He analyzed the situation, his expression changing dramatically. Could it be that the Lord of Evil Spirits had intervened and disrupted the Succubus Queen? Otherwise, why would she trap her own Supremes?
Oh boy...
Things are about to get messy!
With both deities present, I need to get out of here!
Sterl was grateful that the Lord of Evil Spirits had made the rational choice to deal with another god first instead of targeting his enemy, giving Sterl a chance to escape.
Without any fluctuations, the Succubus Queen managed to control her own Supremes. If it had been directed at him...
Well, that wouldn't be a problem.
The Radiant Glass Body could withstand one instance of control.
But just as Sterl was about to press the button on his Emergency Escape Device, the voice of Succubus Queen Licitris rang out—cold and clear, yet with a hint of sacred purity. It echoed in everyone's hearts, a resonance of Divine Power that needed no time to spread, reaching deep within them.
"You shall not show disrespect to Mephistopheles."
"He has slain Lovic for me, and after suffering such humiliation and betrayal, what harm is there in venting a little?"
"I decree that anyone here who has acted against you can be slain."
Her words carried a chilling intent to kill.
But it wasn't aimed at Sterl; it was directed at the demons and players present who had ambushed him. At the same time, her words struck the hearts of the three Supremes like the tolling of a bell.
Initially, no one realized what had happened, as the voice of the Succubus Queen carried an extremely strong charm effect. This was a passive ability that could not be turned off at will.
Countless demons in attendance, including the three captured Supremes, felt a momentary blankness in their minds, consumed by the desire to dedicate everything to the voice's owner, willing to sacrifice their lives without hesitation.
The ordinary demons and Swallowing Heaven players went wild, instantly turning their gaze toward Succubus Queen Licitris. Many knelt, drooling and fervently rushing toward her, devoid of any semblance of dignity as strong beings, almost as if they had been brainwashed.
Among those affected by the charm was Sterl, but his reaction was noticeably a beat slower than the rest.
The main reason was a lack of information; Sterl was unaware of the seductive effect of the Succubus Queen's voice. He reacted quickly, but he still couldn't synchronize with the others.
As for the charm in Licitris's voice, Sterl didn't feel it at all...
To him, it simply sounded pleasant, nothing more.
"It should be fine, I'll start my disguise right away..."
Sterl pondered, feeling a profound sense of calm within, which allowed him to immediately grasp the meaning behind the Succubus Queen's words.
As a result, he chose not to escape but to remain for the time being.
Then...
Sterl felt a bit dizzy.
What Licitris had just said was a bit outrageous!
He believed his earlier deductions couldn't possibly be wrong.
There was no way Licitris would side with him unless something was fundamentally off in her mind.
This divine-level demon truly seemed to have lost her mind.
Otherwise, how could she make such a foolish decision? To control the three Supremes, who had at least outwardly shown loyalty, and then to extend such kindness toward him while stating that those who had attacked Mephistopheles could be freely slain?
What did this imply? If Sterl so wished, he could wipe out the elite troops that the Succubus Queen had brought with her.
Even if she had some resources left, it would significantly weaken her in the original layer of hell.
