Chapter 2456 - 1085: Fence-Sitter
"Really?" The Queen of the Succubi retorted with thick sarcasm, "Outsiders might not know your true nature, but I certainly do. A mindless bloodthirsty beast remains just that, even if it becomes a god.Whether it’s Yenogu’s Siege or the Gathering Gate, they’re the handiwork of the Fallen Angel Azar and the Storm Lord Bachard; you’re merely a poor thief.
You haven’t even fully inherited their legacy, so where does your creation come from?
If you lose the Gathering Gate, you will lose your ability to encroach upon other planes.
If you lose Yenogu’s Siege, your control over Yenogu’s Realm will plummet significantly, as the powers of the Fallen Angel and the Storm Lord remain dormant here, ready to reclaim this territory."
The person who knows you best is your enemy.
This is the case between the Queen of the Succubi and the King of the Jackalweres.
Through years of hostility, both sides have long figured out each other’s background, clearly aware of each other’s vulnerabilities.
From the very beginning, the Queen of the Succubi raced against time to lock down the Gathering Gate, which was telling.
Because she knew very well that at the level of the King of the Jackalweres, completely destroying him in one go was unlikely.
Even if his God Kingdom was entirely conquered and his true form killed, he would not be truly dead.
Unless his jackalwere believers completely abandoned him, as long as his followers remain, he can resurrect endlessly.
This is the reason most divine wars are fought from top to bottom; a vast group of believers is the true foundation of a god.
Only by shaking this foundation can a god be truly eradicated.
If only the surface is destroyed, it won’t be long until it gains new life.
Once the Gathering Gate is seized, most of the King of the Jackalweres’ faith locations can be pinpointed, shaking his divine foundation, thus truly injuring him, or even eliminating him.
"You can’t possibly leave without paying a price." The King of the Jackalweres growled with a clear air of impotence, "Let’s see if you’re well-prepared, or if Prince Grazte of the Ubar is stronger, can you hold his attack without your leadership!"
Now he could only place his hopes on Prince Grazte of the Ubar.
He hoped that his deterrence as one of the Abyssal Three Giants was great enough to make the Queen of the Succubi abandon an easily grasped benefit and return to her demon territory.
"Let’s give it a try then! Let’s see if Grazte breaks through my Razor Throne first, or if the Abyssal Invader breaches your fortress first!" The Queen of the Succubi was well-versed in the art of negotiation.
It was crucial not to show panic at this moment, nor to make any concessions, otherwise, the King of the Jackalweres would advance and demand more harsh and excessive terms.
Moreover, she wasn’t just bluffing the King of the Jackalweres; she truly prepared with two strategies, only deploying a portion of the succubi to Yenogu’s Realm, while her main demon army remained unused.
As long as Prince Grazte of the Ubar didn’t personally lead the charge, merely sending his demon army wouldn’t conquer her territory in a short time.
Similarly, Prince Grazte of the Ubar had enemies beyond just her; the King of the Minotaurs Baphoment wouldn’t sit idly by.
The King of the Jackalweres breaking free meant he was also liberated from the Revenge Maze.
This reignited old and new grudges, and given his vengeful nature, this couldn’t possibly end here.
The King of Frost Giants, the Angry Lord Coste, although not allied with her, was endlessly furious due to Grazte’s trickery, always seeking opportunities to strike back and vent his anger.
The other two giants of the Invincible Abyss, the Undead Emperor Okas and Demon Prince Demogorgon, have always been in a competitive relationship with him, often engaging in skirmishes among the three.
The former has been weakened due to ties with the Undead Goddess of Revenge Chiaranlisha, so for the time being, need not be considered.
The latter, however, is the current spouse of the Queen of the Succubi; if her territory faced a lethal threat from Prince Ubar, the Demon Prince certainly wouldn’t stand by.
Not just due to the Queen of the Succubi’s terrifying charisma, but also because it could be seen as a challenge.
A challenge to the Demon Prince’s supreme status within the Invincible Abyss.
If Demogorgon showed any weakness, it would definitely influence the attitudes of countless demon lords.
As always, the wars in the Invincible Abyss are never singular but multifaceted, with one side entering a war possibly drawing countless demon lords into their ancient grudges and power struggles.
This time is no different.
Neither the Queen of the Succubi nor the King of the Jackalweres wished to make an easy concession, keeping them in a deadlock.
However, this standoff was world-shattering, with their verbal sparring not stopping the physical attacks, maintaining a state of confrontation.
Even if not intentional, it was a devastating disaster for their soldiers below.
In the face of such terrifying attacks, they were as fragile as ants; even if swept by the aftershocks, it was difficult to leave an intact body.
Meanwhile.
Prince Grazte of the Ubar’s emissaries arrived almost simultaneously in front of the two other armies.
"Doreisan greets Lord Veen." The Ghoul King showed tremendous respect to Grazte’s emissary.
