Chapter 423: Flattening (2/2)

”It would be a waste of resources, indeed. Other than leaving some scouts there in case of trouble, I think we can leave it be and focus out defenses elsewhere.”

Just as the next Demon Lord wanted to chime in, a sudden sigh sounded.

Leonel stood, placing his palm on the map on the table. His eyes closed as he imprinted it all in an instant. Then, his Force surged, calling forth a strong surge of Earth Elemental energies.

In the blink an eye, the landscape bloomed. Under the astonished gazes of all those present, a perfect representation of the map was created, even down to the smallest imperfections of the mountain range they currently sat within.

”This is your world.” Leonel said plainly.

Leonel's hand waved again, quickly forming another landmass. But, this one hovered above, held there by Leonel's Force.

BANG!

Leonel dropped the newly created landmass on the one he had just formed. His actions caused a sigh of pity to spread throughout the room. The three dimensional construct had really been too perfect.

After lamenting it for a while, the Demon Lords looked at the new landscape, their eyes colored with shock. This new structure had such elaborate mountain structures that it put them to shame. Compared to the mountain range of their Demon Empire… it was like an adult versus a newborn.

”This is just half a continent on Earth that was once called Asia.” Leonel continued just as emotionlessly.

The pupils of the Demon Lord's constricted. Just half a continent was already larger than their entire world?! Just how big was Leonel's world?!

Looking at the ease this 'Asia' flattened their lands with, a bit of trepidation crawled into their hearts.

”When the Ascension Empire had yet to unite all of Earth, Asia was the final continent that remained standing. This wasn't only because of their intelligence and ingenuity, but most importantly because of their terrain, the centerpiece of which was a country once known as China.

”China  is surrounded by sea and islands from one side and completely protected by endless mountains from another. Attacking them was almost impossible and most attempts ended up in failure.

”Do you know what the Ascension Empire did?” Leonel asked coldly.

The Demon Lord shivered, their hearts clenching before Leonel's gaze. They lost focus on who was the human and who was the demon for a moment.

Leonel lifted a finger, causing a small ball of fire to appear. It was only the size of a fingernail, but the heat concentrated on it made all of their hearts beat wildly.

Leonel flicked his finger toward his construct of ancient Asia.

BANG!

A hole was blown through the mountains, flattening them to the ground.

The Demon's shuddered. Was this power a civilization should have? How could it be possible to flatten mountains so large?!

However, the next words Leonel spoke made them all freeze. It was as though a reaper had grabbed onto their throats, suffocating them from the depths of their souls.

”This happened in 2097, just the 21st century. It's currently the 25th century. What do you think they can do now?”
