698 I Have High Hopes For You (2/2)

”Of course, Your Excellency.” Clement was more or less relieved. Lucien Evans was on par with him. Even if he couldn't defeat the guy, he could always escape. There was no grudge between them. If he were caught in danger, he could always throw the Time Plate out. Lucien Evans certainly wouldn't chase after him.

More importantly, as long as he seized the time, he could claim the Time Plate earlier than Lucien Evans, and they wouldn't meet at all.

The Angel King put on a smile of satisfaction. His body in the projection dispersed into countless tiny angels, singing, praising and praying. It was not until a long time later that they finally disappeared.

......

On the 666th floor of the abyss, inside the Frozen Fortress.

Gonheim, the Demogorgon of Darkness, looked at the void before him with a vague smile and held the black throne with his right hand.

On the throne were dim and illusionary gems. Gonheim's long fingers danced among them, as if he were playing music. Chaos was flashing on his dark fingernails.

After a while, he chuckled, and the void before him split into a boundless ocean of magma, which was surging and bubbling nonstop!

”Little Fire…” Gonheim called in a mocking tone.

Hooo. A vortex appeared above the magma, and a gigantic flame demon stood up. ”Gonheim, don't test my tolerance.”

Terrifying heat spread out and seemed to be melting everything!

He was the Primeval Firelord and the dominator of 'Seething Ocean', the 554th level of abyss. He was a level-three legendary Demon Lord.

”How should I call you when you are too chaotic to have a name? As the new Prince of Demons, do you expect me to call you 'Lord of Fire'?” The Demogorgon of Darkness smiled. ”If you don't like me calling you Little Fire, how about Little Red, Little Flame, or Little Demon?”

Hooooo. Magma erupted from the ocean, turning the demiplane into a world of fire. The Primeval Firelord seemed to be exasperated!

”Alright, I'm calling you merely to tell you that a legendary sorcerer will enter the Chaotic Cosmos through your 'Seething Ocean'. I hope that you can stop him for a while.” Without stimulating the Primeval Firelord anymore, Gonheim began to talk about 'business'.

The 'firelord' roared, ”Do I need you to remind me? I will not let a single living creature pass 'Seething Ocean'!”

There were only two ways to enter the Chaotic Cosmos, which was a hidden plane. The first way was to reach the end of the Seething Ocean, and the other was to ask for the Prince of Demons' help.

After the void was closed, Gonheim shook his head with a smile.

......

Inside the Atom Institution, Katrina was standing before Lucien.

”Master, I have accepted a mandatory mission to go to the Schachran Empire. I have entrusted my work in the institution to my assistants. With Layria here, nothing will go wrong.” Katrina 'asked for leave'.

As a member of the Highest Council, Lucien did not have the habit of breaking rules. Therefore, his students had always been carrying out mandatory missions.

”The Schachran Empire?” Asked Lucien, deep in thought.

”Yes. An incident caused by demon worship happened in a northern province in the Schachran Empire. A low-rank sorcerer of the Congress was involved and killed. Therefore, the Affair Committee asked me to investigate.” Katrina lowered her head, her gold hair drifting. ”In fact, I am a native of the Schachran Empire. I only came to the south when I grew older. I thought that I could take a look at my hometown with the opportunity.”

In her family, only her parents came with her.

Lucien nodded. ”Pay attention to your safety. As it happens, there's something I need you to do for me. After you accomplish your mission, you will go to Dumute and put this outside of the temple of Heit, 'God of Craftsmen'. I'll give you the coordinates of the specific location later.”

”No problem, master.” Katrina accepted her teacher's mission very happily. Ever since they knew their teacher, the students had barely offered any help to him. Even though they had research products that were helpful for their teacher, those products couldn't have been achieved without their teacher's arrangement and guidance.

After Katrina left, Lucien nodded his head and returned to the Atomic Universe, ready to go to the Chaotic Cosmos.
