In the towering great hall, dark demon qi churned, and black stone pillars, each a thousand meters thick, stood like heavenly columns, reaching into the clouds and disappearing into a swirling vortex.
In this abyss that resembled a dark hell, Brooks stood respectfully below, waiting for the 'next instructions' from the demon gods.
However, as the five demon gods communicated, an invisible rule permeated, stirring time and space, leaving Brooks unaware of what they discussed.
Half an hour later, the five demon gods finished their discussion about the primordial source.
Dioreus slightly lowered his head, his cold gaze falling on Brooks, his voice indifferent: "Brooks, from now on, you are responsible for taking over the fragmented assassination department and gathering some elite true demons for reorganization."
"The assassination department will now be transformed into an intelligence department, tasked with finding ways to infiltrate the Human Race to obtain important information."
"Especially regarding Chu the Dominator, including details about his family and friends; the more detailed, the better. Additionally, keep an eye on the movements of the Tianyu Tribe."
"This time, I permit you to utilize resources from the two imperial treasuries. Resources below the laws level do not require approval; those at the laws level and above must be approved by Tarolya."
In this battle, not only did the head of the intelligence department, Barus, fall, but two demon kings also perished, while several others suffered severe injuries and escaped. The elite forces of the department were utterly destroyed.
At this moment, the newly promoted Brooks became the only usable demon king, entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Dioreus.
Dioreus had some impression of this newcomer who participated in the 'training,' recognizing his decent talent and that he conducted tasks more reliably than other demon kings.
To subvert Human Race traitors, a large amount of resources and bribery would be necessary.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will do my utmost to complete the mission and gather all information on the Human Race," Brooks said solemnly and respectfully.
"Leave."
"Yes."
Brooks bowed respectfully and then slowly exited the Demon God Palace.
Once outside the oppressive dark palace and standing on the steps, Brooks looked down at the bustling Demon Realm City, his lips curving into a smile.
At that moment, the palace trembled, and three black beams of light shot skyward, exuding the pressure of the demon gods, disappearing in three directions on the horizon.
Watching this scene, Brooks' gaze flickered slightly, realizing that a demon god had departed.
Inside the Demon God Palace, looking at the demon god Rudius across from him, Dioreus suddenly spoke: "Do you think that when Constantine returns to the ancestral territory to call for the demon ancestor, he will receive a response?"
Shrouded in darkness, Rudius's voice was low and chilling: "I don't know. The primordial ancestor has been sleeping for so many years; only the ancestral territory's rituals can contact him."
"As for how much the primordial ancestor's injuries have healed and when he might awaken completely, the responses from the ancestral territory over the years have been ambiguous."
"Even the last time the primordial ancestor briefly awakened, the order for eastward expansion was conveyed through the Constantine ritual. As for..." Rudius paused here.
At the same time, Dioreus did not continue the conversation, and the palace fell into silence.
...
At the entrance of the restricted zone, ten thousand kilometers above, as the white flames gradually extinguished, a towering figure of fifteen thousand meters emerged, with twelve pairs of wings unfurled behind it.
Upon becoming a complete ancient divine weapon, the invisible energy waves emitted by the god mecha grew increasingly terrifying, with its armor covered in golden rule patterns, mysterious and sacred.
Between the twelve pairs of unfurled wings, a materialized white light band flowed, reflecting light that eroded the surrounding space, creating a metallic world.
