Evolution: From Little Devil to Devil Empress

Chapter 782: Chaos & Suspicion

The fight was fierce.

Unlike the previous battle between the Original Truth Demon Lord and the True Angel Demon Lord, which had resulted in only a few casualties and had stopped shortly after its beginning, this battlefield was far more bloody.

Within minutes of the battle’s start, hundreds of subordinates belonging to the three Demon Lords had perished.

Although they were all only at the Other Shore stage and had forcefully advanced through strange methods and non-Devil power systems, their deaths were enough to showcase just how cruel the battle was.

In the sky, the three Demon Lords continued their confrontation, paying no attention to the dead.

Their eyes remained fixed on each other, occasionally shifting toward the massive palace on the distant horizon.

Although it was far away, its enormous size allowed them to see its appearance clearly.

Its effects were equally obvious.

Unlike the rest of the Land of Origin, where the flow of time was chaotic, time here was completely stable.

This place was no different from the outside world, allowing them to unleash their full strength without fear of being corrupted.

“Original Truth, True Angel, are you two planning to go against me?” the Willow God suddenly questioned, breaking the awkward silence.

Her face was furious as she watched the two opponents subtly surround her, blocking her every escape route.

Despite her otherworldly appearance, which made her resemble a cold goddess, her words dripped with killing intent.

In response to her accusation, the two male Demon Lords remained calm.

“Willow God, you should understand that we’ll never let you enter that place.”

“Please step back. Given our relationship, we won’t destroy your physical body as long as you don’t seek death,” the Original Truth Demon Lord said.

Seeing that his words only made the Willow God angrier, he sneered coldly.

“Don’t forget that this is the Land of Origin. Without the support of that thing, how could you possibly contend with us?”

“Even if you plan to return after we kill you, we’ll have already obtained that inheritance by then. You’re simply wasting your time.”

Although the Original Truth Demon Lord appeared disdainful of her, he made no move, relying solely on his words to weaken his opponent’s momentum. Moreover, he seemed quite unwilling to truly fight against her.

This was only natural.

The Willow God had also reached the Absolute Beginning stage, after all. Even if she was weaker than them due to their own uniqueness, suppressing her wouldn’t be easy at all.

If he suffered any injuries during the process, his current “ally,” the True Angel Demon Lord, might turn against him and attempt to monopolize the opportunity for himself.

The two were allied only because the Willow God’s mysterious origins posed a potential threat to them. They were not true friends, much less allies.

Unfortunately, mere words were far from enough to convince the Willow God.

Her face twisted with fury, her long green hair swaying wildly behind her back.

The next moment, she erupted with her power.

Countless roots emerged from her palm, lashing toward the two Demon Lords like tentacles.

Life and Creation coexisted, giving birth to several other powers.

The Willow God’s attack targeted not only the Original Truth Demon Lord, but also the True Angel Demon Lord standing beside him.

“Sure enough, she’s a madwoman!” The Original Truth Demon Lord spat coldly.

“True Angel, stop holding back! Let’s work together to suppress her!”

As he spoke, his body broke down into countless symbols, each seemingly containing unfathomable knowledge that would shatter an ordinary person’s cognition of the world.

Voices emerged from the symbols, chanting prayers to the Original Truth Demon Lord and working as soul attacks.

Hearing his request and watching the roots rapidly approach, the True Angel Demon Lord sighed.

A helpless expression appeared on his face as a pair of golden wings spread behind him. Holy light enveloped his upper body, forming heavy armor.

An aura that vowed to destroy everything evil and sinister erupted from the depths of his body as he thrust his golden spear toward the Willow God.

In the blink of an eye, a battle between the three strongest Rulers had broken out.

—

Their battle alarmed many beings.

Under the force of their power, the entire River of Time seemed to tremble, its waters stirring just as they had when the Land of Origin first opened.

On the banks of the River of Time, which had originally been desolate, the eyes of figures seated upon the majestic Thrones suddenly regained their vitality.

As they gazed toward the illusory waters, shock flashed across their faces.

“The rumors are true! Those three have indeed taken that step!” an Ancient Devil murmured, his voice filled with fear.

“What are they fighting for?” Another Ancient Devil wondered, focusing on a completely different question.

“Could they have found traces of the Princes and Princesses?”

The moment those words were spoken, countless sharp intakes of breath rang out.

Why had these Ancient Devils entered the Land of Origin? It was all to search for a path to becoming Princes and Princesses.

The Other Shore and Antiquity Devils were like that, and the Primordial Devils were even more eager than them.

Now, sensing a battle between three Absolute Beginning Devils, they could only assume that the three had found what they had been seeking all this time and were fighting over it.

The three strongest Rulers’ strength was certainly terrifying.

However, the opportunity to become Princes and Princesses of the Demon World was enough to suppress the Ancient Devils’ fear.

In an instant, hundreds of consciousnesses swept through the River of Time, attempting to trace the source of the fluctuations in time.

Under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t dare offend Absolute Beginning Devils. But with such an immense opportunity standing before them, they couldn’t afford to hesitate.

Standing within one of these Thrones, Liora frowned.

Her physical body was relatively close to the battlefield—at least by Ancient Devil standards.

Therefore, she could tell that her destination and the location of the three Demon Lords overlapped.

This made her far more suspicious than her peers, especially when she recalled the memories she had read.

“Is this battle a coincidence? Or are the Absolute Beginning Devils trying to lure the Ancient Devils over?” She couldn’t help but wonder.
