Free Web NovelChapter 1730: Chapter 945: Cain’s Promise
Endless Abyss,
Lis stood beside Cain, noticing that he was merely playing with the wine glass in his hand, seemingly absent-minded.
Recalling the words Cain had spoken earlier, Lis had some suspicions.
The presence before him...could he really be heading to confront Demogorgon now?
Seeing this, Lis did not disturb Cain and directly sat in front of him, waiting.
According to what Cain had informed, he and Demogorgon were always in a covert struggle.
However, this confrontation rarely surfaced.
Just like earlier, with Demogorgon’s subordinate, Legendary Lich Garrison, clashing with Cain’s subordinate, Legendary Enchanting Demon Veronica.
These two were like chess players in the Endless Abyss, sitting on lofty thrones, engaging in a strategic game without easily stepping down from their thrones.
For them, every move could significantly impact the situation in the Endless Abyss.
In fact, Lis found it unimaginable that Blood Race Ancestor Cain, who was so low-key in the Gaia Main World, held such power and status in the Endless Abyss.
Moreover, Demogorgon seemed unaware of Cain’s true identity.
Otherwise, the Blood Clan wouldn’t remain as stable and low-key as it is now.
However, Lis sensed something else in Cain’s words.
It seemed the confrontation with Demogorgon was not for power or status in the Endless Abyss, but rather Cain had to oppose Demogorgon to achieve a certain goal.
Striving to ensure that this Demon Prince did not hinder his plans.
This feeling Lis had was without factual basis, yet he just had such a feeling instinctively.
Thus, Lis waited by Cain’s side.
After a moment, Cain sighed and looked at Lis, speaking with a hint of helplessness:
"Just as I suspected, Demogorgon has placed one of his two most powerful avatars on the twelfth layer."
"It seems there’s indeed something he values considerably there."
"He decisively blocked my way back."
"So, what he values, I haven’t really seen."
"Is that so?"
Lis nodded slightly, feeling a bit troubled.
If that were the case, it would be a major headache for him.
With his current strength, he wanted nothing to do with confronting Demogorgon directly.
In fact, if it’s just about sneaking something out from under Demogorgon’s nose, Lis still had some confidence.
Of course, this was premised on Demogorgon’s lack of attention.
But now, seeing that Demogorgon placed an important avatar on the twelfth layer, it showed how much he valued the current twelfth layer.
Under such circumstances, Lis was not prepared to take risks.
However, Lis was curious why Demogorgon was on the twelfth layer.
"Lord Cain, is Demogorgon positioned around the Twelve Great Trees on the twelfth layer?"
After pausing for a moment, Lis asked Cain.
"Indeed, he is."
Cain nodded and said.
"Though I don’t know what Demogorgon is doing there, I sensed extremely intense Abyss Power, even the Endless Abyss Will."
"Quite a significant plan, Demogorgon must be plotting something."
So that’s where he is, huh?
Lis shook his head slightly.
Though this was normal, considering besides the area where the Twelve Great Trees were located on the twelfth layer, there wasn’t anything particularly special.
Yet, Lis still couldn’t fathom why Demogorgon would linger there.
Even if it’s Lis’ objective, the remnants of those twelve Divine beings weren’t particularly valuable for Demogorgon.
To Lis, it seemed this was likely a spur-of-the-moment plan by Demogorgon.
No matter what, in Lis’ previous encounters with Demogorgon, he always planned meticulously, using minimal strength to leverage maximum benefits.
Even in the event of the Elf Royal Court’s destruction, it was the same.
In fact, Demogorgon hadn’t invested much strength but achieved his aims through more time and meticulous planning.
No matter how powerful he was, Demogorgon rarely used brute strength directly to fulfill his purposes.
He seemed to prefer the process and method of manipulating hearts and minds.
But this time, upon Cain noticing the anomaly, Demogorgon directly utilized his most powerful avatar.
Though not the main body stepping in directly, it was still enough to cause surprise.
Understanding that, as possibly the most powerful entity in the Endless Abyss, every move by Demon Prince Demogorgon would attract considerable attention.
Not only in the Endless Abyss, but the All Gods of the Gaia Main World would also be monitoring Demogorgon.
Demogorgon’s actions this time were quite different from his usual behavior.
This suggested that something rather unexpected must have occurred on the twelfth layer, causing Demogorgon to act so "hastily."
"Is it beyond your strength to perceive the situation there clearly?"
Lis asked, still unwilling to accept defeat.
"If I genuinely wished to see it clearly, of course, I could."
Cain replied with a smile:
"But that would lead to direct confrontation between me and Demogorgon, which I don’t wish to see."
"Most of my strength must be invested in a certain matter, leaving little to spare."
