Chapter 575
Perhaps ordinary people still didn't know yet about the battle of Hell . However, this battle had such far-reaching influence and great impact that it was destined to enter Eich's history books .
A new third major faction arose for the first time ever in the eternal war between Order and Chaos . The Order Faction was split as several Order Main Gods joined the Hell Faction and became Hell Gods instead . The Chaos Faction lost Cynthia, the will of the Chaos Abyss, and several Chaos Main Gods . Naturally, neither Order nor Chaos came out as a winner in this . But amongst all the losers, there was one smaller faction that lost by far the most . That would be the devils .
The oldest devil leaders all betrayed Chaos, with four of the nine Devil Lords having betrayed it and left . They also took more than half of all Immemorial Devils with them . Since these devils had all survived countless eons until today, these were the most elite and strongest devils .
It would have still been understandable if just the elites and cannon fodder had left, but the most ridiculous part was how much top-level strength had been left behind .
For instance, the demons were far more numerous than the devils, as the demons were the strongest overall faction in the lower planes . However, there were three Main God level existences among the nine Devil Lords, which caused other factions to be extremely afraid of them .
Kamiltias, the Lord of Lies . Heimor, the Lord of Despair . Sarwenstan, the Lord of Tyranny . These three Main God Devil Lords were infamous names in all dimensions . But now, Kamiltias and Heimor had actually joined the Hell Faction while taking along another two of the Devil Lords with them . Now, the entire devil faction had only one Main God, Sarwenstan, and four remaining weaker Devil Lords .
It would be nothing but consolation to say that they had lost half their strength . It was quite obvious how much weaker they would be with two out of three Main Gods leaving . Not only that, Sarwenstan and his personal faction were some of the younger devils . It could be said that the highest-level fighting strength of the devils had all completely collapsed .
That was only the first wave of immediate effects . The large number of Immemorial Devils that had left meant that many tightly structured devil organizations now lost their bosses or elites, becoming nothing but empty shells . The devils' forte, schemes and organizations, had all completely collapsed as well . The devils' total power was now at less than 20% of their power level before the battle of Hell from seven years ago .
The lower planes wouldn't be a location where love and peace flourished . If any faction suddenly weakened immensely, that faction would never receive loving and peaceful aid from other factions . There were only ravenous wolves bearing malicious intents .
Even though the devils reacted as swiftly as possible and retracted their defenses with the greatest speed, and even though they had the most well-disciplined organizations in their command system compared to any other species in all dimensions, the devils still lost a tremendous amount due to the battle of Hell .
The Immemorial Devils' betrayal of the entire Chaos Faction also caused the entire devil faction to lose the favor and protection of the Chaos Abyss . And so, the devils' Hell actually saw many dimensional cracks appearing, causing many areas to collapse . Some powerful devils that relied on the favor of the Chaos Abyss to power up even suddenly found themselves losing power levels .
Demons were no good individuals . When they discovered that their "allies" had suddenly weakened by so much, even several Demon Main Gods were tempted to make their move .
And so, a feast of slaughter began . The main hosts were the demons and Chaos Evil Gods . Invited guests even included War Gods from the Order Faction . Both factions seemed to arrive at an unspoken agreement as they split up the devils' outer circle of territory and resources amongst themselves .
After experiencing this "feast" held by the other Chaos Abyss residents, the devils lost all their important fortresses in the first few levels of the Chaos Abyss . They also lost almost half of all teleportation portals under their control to other parties . All surviving devils retreated to devils' Hell . The devils instantly went from being the second strongest faction in the Chaos Abyss to being only a slightly-weaker-than-average faction .
And considering all the grudges in the Chaos Abyss, a phoenix without its feathers would have an even worse time than a chicken . This slightly-weaker-than-average faction would have a very difficult time in the foreseeable future . Those with grudges against them would come take revenge, and those without grudges would come and take what they could .
The devils who managed to survive their species' calamity were having a worse and worse time as time went on . The ones they hated the most were naturally the Devil Lords that betrayed their trust… Although it seemed comical to others that devils would even believe in trust when they felt that betrayal and scamming was the greatest glory, even devils would have grudges and blame others for their misfortunes .
However, three of the former Devil Lords had now become Hell Gods . If the devils wanted revenge, they would have to somehow conquer Hell . So, in the end, all their hatred could only be piled onto the remaining traitor Devil Lord—Ilmisya, the Lord of Temptations .
Ilmisya could probably be considered the most outstanding double agent in all of history as she simultaneously betrayed the Hell Faction and the Chaos Abyss . Now, she was having a good time while living under Abyss Prince Karwenz's protection . Even though the greatly weakened devils wanted to take revenge against her, they would have to go through Karwenz first .
The current Karwenz was one of the most powerful individuals in the Chaos Abyss . The devils had no way to handle antagonizing the Abyss Prince . However, they couldn't stand for sitting back and not trying to take revenge . Not only that, their morale would slip even lower if they didn't attempt to take revenge .
That was right, the entire devil species currently had inconceivably low morale . In fact, it even became quite common for devils to give up on all their accumulated power to transform themselves into demons . The entire devil species was like a patch of grass being mightily buffeted by a storm . They really needed some good news to make everyone perk up .
And now, they met with an opportunity…
