"Shit, he got away," Aldred said. But where did that portal lead? It was only a short moment, but he was sure that the place the man teleported to was… hell.
As his father was a demon king himself, Aldred had teleported to hell a couple of times to play with the demons. They were fun companions, and Aldred considered them to be his friends. He even considers some old demons to be his uncle.
But his father said that there were many hells, and his father only owned several billions of them.
Aldred looked at the Adamantite Rank entity and analyzed it.
[???]
"Nothing, huh?"
The creature stared at one of the golems for a few seconds.
Stella's mirror was connected with one of the golem's eyes, so what Aldred and the others were seeing was what the golem saw.
Suddenly, the creature averted its eyes at the leftmost Ultra Golem where Aldred's point of view was.
[You are inflicted with Blank Mind]
[You are inflicted with Agitation]
[You are inflicted with Rage]
[You are inflicted with Blood Lust]
[You are inflicted with Soul Parasite]
[You are inflicted with Shatter Morale]
Aldred's mind was filled with rage and hopelessness. He was agitated and an evil intention formed within his heart. His thoughts were flooded with images of him killing all of his wives and devouring their flesh.
"NO!"
His scream failed to remove the images, and instead, it got stronger before it shattered.
[Mind Debuff neutralized]
[Transforming into Baron Hell Demon form]
Suddenly, his whole body ballooned into a four-meters-tall dark demon with long arms end with hideous claws, and a pair of horns. His whole body was charred black, and his eyes were red.
Dobbs and Stella charged at him with craziness, but Aldred stared into their eyes. "Sleep! Emotion Manipulation! Dream Manipulation!"
The two fell to the floor, sleeping.
Aldred breathed in relief. He looked at Stella's mirror and saw that the creature was frowning. "What a scary entity. I am so far away from it, yet a mere glance could almost kill me."
His father and mother were more powerful, but comparing anything to them was pointless. Anything he compared to them would be akin to ants.
After a few minutes, Dobbs and Stella woke up, holding their heads in pain.
Dobbs asked: "What happened?"
"That creature attacked our mind and soul," Stella replied. She had realized what happened, but could not do anything to prevent it.
"Luckily, Aldred saved us, if not we would be killing each other like a possessed barbarian."
"We got lucky," Aldred said. "If you don't limit your power to Gold Rank, I wouldn't be able to make you fall asleep."
"Okay, so what do we do with that thing now?" Dobbs asked.
"Human, release me from this chain and I will give you a valuable secret to become stronger. Adamantite Rank is not my true form, I am far stronger than anything this world has seen. I can give you power."
Aldred burst into laughter. "You might not know this, but I am a half-demon, so I know how to allure people. And that is exactly what a chained demon says to trick someone."
Judging by the creature's appearance, it was sufficient to say that it came directly from hell itself.
"You are too naive. An opportunity arises in front of you, and you are too afraid to seek it."
Aldred's eyes flashed with a cold glint. "Yes, I see an opportunity. Your body will be a good material for my ship! Ultra Golems, kill that thing!"
The four Ultra Golems fired a fully charged Vanquisher at the Xenorph, blasting at its hard shells.
"Your primitive weapons are no use against me."
The attack did nothing to the creature at all. There wasn't even a single trace of damage.
"All Battalions, enter the chamber and kill it."
Thousands of golems entered and started firing. Thousands of fire bullets and golem shells flew at the creature and exploded.
The next scene came with no surprise. After the smoke and dust disappeared, the creature's body was revealed with no harm.
It grinned with ridicule. "I shall close my eyes and sleep."
Stella's complexion darkened. "That thing is an Adamantite Rank. It's impossible to kill it."
"Nothing is impossible. I don't want to leave this place knowing a valuable treasure is right in front of me."
Hundreds of fighter golems hacked at the creature's shells only for the blade to shatter upon impact.
"Thanks for the back rub," the creature snorted.
"In that case, what about your wounds?"
The fighter golems stabbed the wounds on the creature's body, and it made the creature bleed.
"The stab isn't deep, but its progress keeps going!"
The artillery golems and the gunner golems began shooting the wound as well.
The creature roared in anger. "You insolent walking flesh! I will destroy your tools!"
The creature's towering body stood up, trembling hard as the chain stretched, seemingly about to break. With its hind legs, it stomped on the golems, crushing them into millions of pieces.
"Haha! They are ants indeed. A little stomp and all of your toys are destroyed. What will you do now, filthy human?"
Stella's beautiful eyebrows furrowed. "Let's leave this thing first, Aldred. We can come back anytime we want to."
Aldred laughed. "No need to worry about that. I have a plan to kill this thing."
Coming from the gate was a large army of fighter golems. The army even stretched from the chamber all the way to the entrance of the cave.
Numbering more than 100,000 thousand units, the numbers were staggering, to say the least.
"I only sent you the appetizer, this is the main dish! Enjoy it while you can!" Aldred gave a cold smile.
The creature could not believe its eyes. "How could you have so many golems… are you one of the Adeptus? No, this technology is not from them. This is magic, are you one of those Elves? I heard they trapped their ancestor's souls into a puppet to let them fight once again. But that technique has long been forbidden."
"You talk like an old man! Attack!"
The fighter golems swarmed the creature in all directions, jumping onto its back and looking for any wound they could exploit.
Stella sensed a shiver down her spine looking at this scene. "Aldred, how can you have so many golems?"
"I have created more than 5,000 foremen golems. In return, they each produced 50 golems per day. If I weren't selling them to others, I would have millions of golems in this chamber right now."
"Millions of golems…" Stella glanced at the mirror. Even though the golems that came here were far lower quality than what Aldred usually brought, they were at the level of ordinary Ghe was protected from assassination.
The over 100,000 golems engulfed the creature like fire ants, and the Xenorph could not do anything about it except stomp and slap a few thousand golems each timold Rank. Millions of Gold Rank golem army… if Aldred had the backing of a nation, he could conquer anything as long as he liked.
Still, it could not stop the swarm completely.
"Damn, you filthy human!"
