"Hmm?"
Gu Chuan stood in the sky above Chaos City, his Divine Sense spreading out and covering tens of thousands of light-years. His mind was as calm as a still lake, perceiving every fluctuation within the vast expanse of Chaos.
Within the scope of his Divine Sense, three formidable auras suddenly emerged—three Demon Gods rushing toward Chaos City from different directions: east, west, and south.
Before long, these Demon Gods arrived. Their bodies emanated violent, chaotic, and bloodthirsty auras, filling the surrounding chaotic space with an overwhelming sense of malice.
"I am the Demon God of Chaos, the harbinger of destruction. Lord of Chaos City, today shall be your death, and this so-called Chaos City will be erased from history!"
In an instant, a terrifying Demon God appeared before Chaos City. Its entire form was twisted and contorted, its body as black as the void, with countless writhing tentacles extending outward.
Each of these dark appendages stretched into the depths of the chaotic void, drawing upon the very essence of darkness and disorder. They seemed to have rooted themselves into the Source of Chaos itself, absorbing its boundless energy.
From its body oozed a black liquid—darker than the abyss—spreading like an endless ocean of corruption. Within this black sea, more than a trillion chaotic monsters emerged, their forms grotesque and twisted, exuding auras of malevolence, madness, and slaughter.
A single glance at them was enough to shake the soul, as if their very existence could distort reality.
The Chaos Demon God stared at Gu Chuan with unbridled murderous intent, making no attempt to conceal its desire for destruction.
As a being born from the very essence of Chaos, its power thrived in anarchy and bloodshed. The more chaotic the world became, the stronger it grew. War and slaughter were its nourishment, fueling the ceaseless battles between Chaos Demon Gods.
Yet, ever since Gu Chuan had begun preaching his Dao, the chaotic world had changed. The once unending slaughter among Demon Gods had lessened as many began cultivating new paths. Order had begun to take root.
To the Chaos Demon God, order was an abomination—a natural enemy. Nothing enraged it more than the existence of structure and stability. It despised Gu Chuan for bringing such a thing into its world.
With the rise of order, the energy it once absorbed so effortlessly had dwindled, and its hatred for Gu Chuan had grown immeasurable.
To it, Gu Chuan was an obstacle that needed to be eradicated. The world of Chaos must return to its natural state—one of war, destruction, and unbridled slaughter.
"Is this... the Chaos Demon God?"
The expressions of the high-ranking Demon Gods in Chaos City turned grim. They could feel the unrestrained fury emanating from the Chaos Demon God—a presence that shook the very foundations of reality.
Before Gu Chuan's rise, this being had been the undisputed ruler of Chaos, feared as the strongest among Demon Gods. Wherever chaos and slaughter erupted, it would always be found at the center, reveling in destruction.
It was said that the number of Demon Gods slain by this entity surpassed all others combined. The terror it once instilled in Chaos City was unmatched.
Even Overlord-level Demon Gods had avoided it, knowing that an encounter with it meant certain doom.
"Jie jie jie... Chaos City Lord, your flesh and blood must be utterly exquisite. This time, I, the Plague Demon God, shall devour you completely. There is no one in all of Chaos who can save you. You will die."
Before the Chaos Demon God could respond, a second Overlord Demon God arrived. Its power rivaled that of the Chaos Demon God, exuding an aura of unfathomable danger.
Its form resembled that of a colossal whale, yet it had long since decayed into nothing but bones, its flesh corroded away. A sinister gray mist billowed around it, covering the chaotic void in all directions, spreading across light-years in an instant.
This fog was no ordinary mist—within it lurked countless parasites, bacteria, and viruses, each carrying terrifying vitality and a trace of immortality.
Any Demon God infected by this plague would find their flesh and blood rapidly consumed, their bodies withering away as if suffering five stages of divine decay.
Wherever it passed, it brought only suffering and death, claiming the lives of countless Demon Gods.
If one looked closely at the mist, they would see that each microscopic particle contained profound laws of plague—corrosive, assimilative, toxic, and utterly inescapable.
"Damn it... the Plague Demon God. Why has it appeared here? Has it allied itself with the Chaos Demon God?"
Among the Demon Gods of Chaos City, none were more feared than the Plague Demon God.
Unlike the Chaos Demon God, which merely incited destruction and disorder, the Plague Demon God was a harbinger of true annihilation. It did not simply fuel conflict—it ended lives indiscriminately.
Demon Gods, by their very nature, were nearly immortal. They did not age, they did not succumb to disease. Given enough time, they could endure for eternity.
But the arrival of the Plague Demon God had changed everything.
For the first time, Demon Gods found themselves vulnerable to sickness. A single misstep, a single moment of carelessness, and they would be consumed by an unstoppable disease, dying without even realizing what had happened.
The true horror lay in the fact that the Plague Demon God did not need to fight. It only needed to spread its plague, and the death toll would rise on its own.
Worse still, no Demon God possessed the knowledge to counter such a calamity. In the chaotic world, there were no doctors, no healers. Once infected, death was inevitable.
If the Chaos Demon God represented destruction, then the Plague Demon God was the very embodiment of death itself. Wherever it went, extinction followed.
"There is... a third Demon God."
Gu Chuan narrowed his eyes. His Divine Sense had detected yet another presence—a third terrifying existence approaching at high speed.
These three Demon Gods... they had come from the same domain, the darkest abyss of Chaos itself.
