Those time travelers that year

"The will of the abyss has awakened?!"

One gaze after another, filled with astonishment and uncertainty, turned towards the deepest part of the Endless Abyss, where demon lords of various ranks resided. For these demon lords in their ruling positions, none of them wanted to see the will of the Endless Abyss awaken; they were simply too accustomed to being local tyrants to tolerate the addition of an 'emperor' above them.

For these demon lords, the Abyss could be beaten countless times by demons in bloody battles, and it could remain in an era of warlordism, but it absolutely could not, and would not allow, for an individual to emerge who could rule the entire Endless Abyss. Even if that individual were the will of the Endless Abyss, it would not be acceptable.

However, in this already chaotic world, things clearly weren't going according to their plan. Of course, this wasn't the will of the Endless Abyss; that fragmented, chaotic consciousness had long been reduced to a dead dog—that was a different matter.

So, let's welcome Mr. Xia, who has messed up, to start flipping the table.

"No, impossible..." Many demon lords were quite unhappy about the awakening of the 'Will of the Abyss,' especially the three demon princes. Among them, the two-headed baboon Demogorgon was the most furious. The two-headed baboon, who had always considered himself the King of the Abyss, did not want to one day have someone trample on his head. "Even the Abyss must obey me..."

At this point, we can see just how "jumpy" Demogorgon, a schizophrenic, really is on some crucial issues. Didn't you see that at this moment, neither Obama nor Sixfingers had spoken yet? He jumped out so eagerly, and the two-headed baboon instantly became the "focus".

To the astonishment of the demon lords, at this moment, the two-headed baboon actually used the power that came with the title of Demon Prince, roaring at the 'awakening' will. At that moment, the entire Endless Abyss could hear Demogorgon's furious roar.

Then, unsurprisingly, this two-headed baboon became the first target of the 'awakened' will.

"Huh?" A crystal-clear voice echoed throughout the abyss, reaching the ears of every demon. There was no chaos, no rage, only a chilling irony: "...A crooked worm dares to challenge me?" Upon hearing this voice, every demon, without exception, regardless of their location or level, was instantly thrown into a state of chaotic consciousness. The demon lords fared somewhat better, managing to withstand the sudden confusion, but most demons could not bear it and went mad.

Stripped of their reason, countless demons began indiscriminately attacking everything around them. Only the higher-ranking demons managed to retain a sliver of rationality, but soon, amidst the attacks coming from all sides, even these high-ranking demons went mad.

On the battlefield of the bloody war, the demons once again witnessed their collective madness, leading to self-destruction. Once again, the demons inexplicably won another victory in the bloody war. Just as the many demons were bewildered, in the final level of the nine layers of hell, a colossal arm reached out. To the astonishment and panic of the demons, along with their dukes, grand dukes, and lords, this arm slammed heavily into the border between Afonas and the Abyss Plains.

For the first time in countless years, Asmodeus, the lord of the Nine Hells, chose to take the initiative. The power of the entire Bathor Hell converged and slammed into the Abyss Plains along with Asmodeus's arm.

The entire first level of Hell, Aphrodite, trembled, and the violent earthquake rippled throughout the entire first level of Hell. Amidst the terrified gazes of the many demons, Asmodeus's attack landed, interrupting the bloody battle.

The River Styx stopped flowing before this attack, and the entire Abyss Plain, struck head-on by Asmodeus's attack, began to collapse on a massive scale. Enormous spatial rifts appeared throughout the entire plane. Soon, the bloody war that had lasted for countless years came to an end, as the entire Abyss Plain was utterly shattered.

625. The Saltwater Swamp was destroyed.

Asmodeus's actions shocked not only the many demons but also the other gods in the multiverse. When Asmodeus launched his attack, all the divine power witnessed the Lord of the Nine Hells' movements and became witnesses to Asmodeus's single strike shattering the entire Abyss Plains.

As the Plains of Ten Thousand Abyss collapsed and shattered, swept into the spacetime rift, the Styx River, which connects the Endless Abyss and the Hell of Bato, was also interrupted by the attack of the Lord of the Nine Hells. The entire Endless Abyss and the Hell of Bato were thus severed from their connection.

This also signifies that after countless years, the bloody war has finally come to an end.

Countless voices of doubt surged toward the Lord of the Nine Hells, not only from demons but also from some gods. But Asmodeus paid no heed. At that moment, a colossal phantom rose from the deepest part of the Nine Hells—it was Asmodeus.

With a single strike, the battlefield of bloodshed was severed. The Lord of the Nine Hells stood upright in the Bato Hell, gazing into the direction of the Endless Abyss, watching the twilight-colored firelight rising from the Endless Abyss, his expression more solemn than ever before.

“I hope you’re right, Jaeger…” Asmodeus said in a voice no one else knew. “Disrupting the script, messing up the established ‘history,’ that ‘administrator’ won’t let us get away with it.”

“We have no choice…” In the deepest part of the Bato Hell, a river flowing with corpses suddenly appeared, and on the river, a bone ship carrying a figure dressed in black robes slowly sailed by. “If you want to leave, if you don’t want to perish with the multiverse that is about to undergo great changes, then you have to let go when it’s time to let go.”

Jaeger's voice reached Asmodeus: "Or is it that the Lord of the Nine Hells wants to side with that 'Administrator'?"

"Nonsense. The devil always profits at the expense of others, and would never harm himself for the benefit of others," Asmodeus murmured. Then, his phantom gradually enlarged, making the figure of this lord of hell clearly visible from every corner of the Nine Hells. Finally, Asmodeus pulled the entire Bartholomew's Hell with one hand, tearing apart the space-time surrounding the Nine Hells, and dragged them into the gap in space-time.

Just as these overwhelming events were happening one after another, catching many gods off guard, a channel of the Styx River suddenly appeared in the spacetime where Bathor had disappeared. With a gentle swirl, it submerged all the remaining traces of Bathor.

What happened is unknown to the gods. All they know is that at this moment, the Nine Hells vanished, along with their lords... Oh, no, just as the River Styx suddenly emerged and submerged the remnants of the Hell of Bathory, several planes were thrown out through the rifts in spacetime.

Those were divine kingdoms, originally located within the Hell of Bathor, the realms of those gods. It seems the Lord of the Nine Hells took the Hell of Bathor to an unknown destination, but didn't intend to take these gods with him.

In Tiamat's lair, amidst the astonished gazes of a large group of invokers and the five-colored dragons, a figure dressed in a long robe and wielding a scythe engulfed in burning black flames appeared.

Furthermore, as she progressed step by step, countless snowflakes and icicles gradually covered the entire kingdom. Her target was the five-headed evil dragon, who thought he could escape death, located deep within the dragon's lair.

Soon, the five-colored dragons and the Prayer-giants of this kingdom discovered her and roared as they surrounded the uninvited guest. However, the girl named Iris coldly raised a scythe burning with black flames, and behind her, a dragon far larger than the ancient dragons, imbued with darkness and frost, spread its wings and swooped down.

The killing began.

……

In the endless abyss, as a sound so deafening that even listening to it inevitably leads to madness resounds, at the very bottom of the abyss, twilight-colored flames gather, and a pitch-black sun is lifted up.

In the twilight glow of the fire, a giant shrouded in darkness and flames appeared. Then, the giant looked toward the location of the two-headed baboon.

'Ant…' A booming voice echoed through the endless abyss. 'Who gave you the power to challenge my confidence… Oh, I forgot, you're just a worthless failure, who only acquired everything by chance at the right time and place.'

'But... everything you have is over.'

What I give, I can naturally take back...

As the words fell, twilight-colored flames surged towards the giant's right hand, and a spiraling sword was drawn from the flames. Then, before the horrified eyes of all the demons in the endless abyss, the giant swung the spiraling sword, imbued with twilight fire, down towards the saltwater swamp.

Along the way, the spiral sword inadvertently grazed several layers. Just by grazing, all the layers that were touched were destroyed. All living things were either burned to ashes by the twilight fire or submerged by the suddenly emerging writhing black sludge.

Finally, amidst the terrified gazes of all the demons, the spiraling sword, burning with the flames of dusk, slashed down upon the saltwater swamp, slashing down upon Demogorgon. The entire saltwater swamp trembled before this spiraling blade; the vast ocean there boiled over from the intense heat as the blade approached.

Countless aquatic creatures living here trembled in agony, fear, and despair at the end of the world. Even many demons living here, completely disregarding Demogorgon, knelt down and begged and howled, yearning to be spared.

But it was no use; the spiral sword fell and slashed at the two-headed baboon.

Without even the right to stop it, the two-headed baboon's figure was instantly engulfed by the light of a supernova, followed by his palace, and finally, the entire saltwater swamp was pierced through by the spiral sword.

The twilight fire did not destroy this layer; instead, black silt instantly spread out from where the blade pierced, quickly covering the layer.

Then, the giant pulled the spiral sword back, and in doing so, also pulled back the saltwater swamp that was completely shrouded and covered by black silt, which was impaled on the blade. Soon, darkness spread, pulling the saltwater swamp impaled on the spiral sword toward the pitch-black sun.

Demogorgon, the oldest Tanaris demon, perished completely on this day. And along with his entire domain of control—the Saltwater Swamp—he became food.

Yes, food.

The demon lords who witnessed this scene realized at that moment that the giant had not only destroyed the two-headed baboon and the entire saltwater swamp, but had 'eaten' them all.

Yes, the oldest Tanaris demon, one of the demon princes who reigned over the endless abyss for countless years, was thus, along with his plane, turned into food for this giant.

626. PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

On this day, the era of the demon prince Demogorgon came to an end. Just as he had defeated twelve demon lords during the rise of the Tanaris, heralding the arrival of his own era, on this day, with his death and the destruction of the entire Saltwater Swamp, the era of this demon prince came to a close.

And it ended in a very tragic way.

This scene sent a chill down the spines of all the Tanari demons and the remaining Obiris lords. The two-headed baboon became food, the meal of the giant standing in the deepest part of the endless abyss, the one wielding the spiral sword.

In particular, the fat man and the six-fingered monster, who had always been enemies of Demogorgon, watched this scene with cold sweat dripping down their faces. Individually, neither of them was a match for the two-headed baboon. However, the two-headed baboon's fate was to be utterly destroyed, just as it had once utterly destroyed twelve demon lords.

At this point, no demon would doubt whether this giant was the will of the abyss. Even if he wasn't, he had to be, for no other reason than his power, which surpassed that of the demon prince, made him the undisputed pinnacle of the entire endless abyss.

The times have changed.

Just as the era of Lord Obiris ended and the era of the Tanaris began, so too is the era of the Tanaris coming to an end, and a new era of the Endless Abyss has arrived. Unfortunately, no demon lord welcomes this new era, for it signifies impending annihilation.

'Besides this deformed baboon, who else dares to question or oppose me?' The giant, wielding a spiral sword, surveyed the entire endless abyss. Under his gaze, countless Tanaris demons trembled. An invisible force twisted their bodies, some being blasted to pieces by this distortion, others mutating into various twisted forms. The demon lords, though not corrupted by the distorted force, also trembled with fear.

After an unknown amount of time, the giant finally withdrew its gaze, causing many demons to breathe a sigh of relief. But before the demon lords could catch their breath, the giant raised its spiral sword once more, and this time, it swung the sword down towards the edge of the endless abyss.

Spacetime distorted in front of the spiral sword, and chaotic primal forces were drawn in by the spiral sword, covering the entire outer perimeter of the endless abyss.

The endless abyss was separated...

Distorted spacetime permeates the entire outer perimeter of the endless abyss, obstructing everything. From now on, both entering and leaving will face even greater limitations. Outside, the vision of the gods is completely blocked at this moment; no matter what efforts they make, they can no longer pierce through that layer of distorted spacetime.

Similarly, this scene also signifies that the demons in the endless abyss are unable to escape. Especially for the demon lords, if they could previously escape the endless abyss by giving up their lordship titles, that is no longer possible.

"I am Twilight..." After completely sealing off the endless abyss, the giant's voice echoed, reverberating throughout this multiverse, "I am the abyss..."

'I am the lord of twilight, I am the serpent of the abyss…'

'I am—the God of Twilight and the Abyss'

The pitch-black sun slowly rose from the abyss, its twilight glow illuminating the edges of the dark sun.

"From this day forward, the Endless Abyss is sealed. The Battle Royale ritual begins. All things within the abyss, whatever they may be, must either struggle to survive to the very end or be reduced to bones."

'Inescapable, without choice.'

'Either struggle to survive or die a miserable death.'

'The victors can perpetuate their rule, while the souls of the vanquished...'

'...then I will devour it.'

As soon as he finished speaking, the giant's voice was swallowed up by the writhing darkness and vanished completely.

However, this does not signify the end of the changes in the Endless Abyss; on the contrary, it is only the beginning. Unable to escape, unable to choose, the entire Endless Abyss, now sealed off, has become a colossal curse.

When those demon lords exhausted all means and realized that they could not leave, and could not even give up their titles as demon lords, relentless despair consumed them.

……

Of course, while those demon lords were sinking into despair for the future, Obox-Obo-Zeg did not stop. On the contrary, after transporting wave after wave of troops to the front lines through the Burning Domain, they immediately launched a war against the 600th floor of the Endless Labyrinth.

With a thunderous stomping sound, one after another, enormous beasts emerged from the swarm of insects and stepped forward. These gigantic monsters trudged along with heavy steps, like moving mountains.

These are Thunder Beasts, the backbone of the Zerg ground units. These enormous monsters possess a pair of massive bone blades and are covered in thick bone plates. Their hard shells are so tough that even Ancient Dragons cannot tear them, and their size far exceeds that of ordinary Ancient Dragons.

They are real siege weapons, and now, these living siege weapons are taking heavy steps, using the 601st floor of the Burning Domain as a stepping stone, and rushing into the 600th floor of the Endless Maze.

The Endless Maze, as its name suggests, is a vast labyrinth with thick stone walls that trap every lost soul. There's no way to fly out; there's an invisible boundary above the maze. In other words, to escape the Endless Maze, one must leave this world without an exit.

On this day, a completely new method for breaking through the endless maze was discovered: simply destroy the maze's walls. The colossal Thunder Beast, an incredibly powerful demolition expert, brought the once-impenetrable maze walls to a halt before its massive bone blades.

The Thunder Beast advanced, tearing through the labyrinth walls with its bone blades, and then smashing through rocks with its massive body, carving out a path.

A single Thunder Beast might be insignificant in the Endless Labyrinth, but their numbers are in the thousands. Over a thousand Thunder Beasts marched side by side, continuously demolishing structures and providing direction for the Zerg behind them. Behind them, even more Thunder Beasts trudged heavily, waiting their turn within the swarm.

At this moment, Buffalo Ment, the lord of the 600th floor of the Endless Abyss and the Minotaur King, roared in his palace. Now there was nowhere to retreat. The giant who appeared from the deepest part of the Endless Abyss casually killed and ate the infamous Demon Prince, and the entire Endless Abyss was sealed off by it.

The entire Abyss has become a meal for the giants, and these demon lords are the food on their table.

627. Thunder Beast charges in.

To become someone else's food—what a ridiculous yet tragic fact.

But this is the current situation in the Endless Abyss. All the demons know that, with the Endless Abyss sealed off, all they can do is struggle to survive. Regardless of whether that giant represents the will of the Endless Abyss, at this moment, the only way for any demon lord to avoid death is to resist.

No one doubted the existence of the Zerg anymore.

That was absolutely orchestrated by that giant; the rise of the Zerg prince, Obox-Obo, was also entirely due to that giant. His aim was to devour all life in the endless abyss, whether ordinary demons or demon lords—all became part of this slaughter and feeding frenzy.

If death fails, their souls will be devoured by the giant. No demon lord wanted this fate to befall them. With no way out, these demon lords, who were usually constantly at war, put aside all their hatred and joined forces to fight for survival.

However, this does not include Buffett, the King of Minions.

Because he was so close, the Zerg army had already pressed in at his doorstep, making it impossible and too late for him to provide support. Unless the Tauren King Buffyment could hold out until the other demon lords formed an alliance and marched to the 600th level of the Endless Labyrinth, no one could save him.

Thus, the other demon lords all chose to abandon Buffet, leaving him to fight Zeg's attacks alone. Even Cangye abandoned her power in the Endless Labyrinth, 'Bone Fortress'. As a result, the minotaur looked around and found no one there; not a single lord was willing to come to his aid.

The curses and swears never stopped coming from his mouth.
