On Prison Star.
At this time, the prison guards were busy conveying information about Hong Dali. “Hong Dali and his people have come back through the space-time portal. Lord Beruca and the other two lords may have been killed. All the other Lords, please be careful!”
News like that spread everywhere. All the prison guards avoided Hong Dali and his party when they saw them. After all, this was a high-level battle. It was not something they, as ordinary guards, could interfere in. It was safer to simply be responsible for passing messages.
Prison Star 22nd district.
Two giants about three meters tall were checking on the latest news about Hong Dali using the communicators in their hands.
One of the giants laughed and said, “Torim, it seems that Beruca and the other two idiots have been killed. I told him not to be too anxious to claim credit, but he refused to listen. I bet they didn’t expect to fail and meet with a mishap, haha!”
“Hehe, I never liked them. They have always been arrogant and looked down on us.” The giant named Torim waved the huge hammer in his hand. His big hammer was made of Dilamu alloy. It was extremely hard and shockingly heavy. However, in his hand, it seemed like just a stick. Torim said, “Torte, when do we start?”
“No need to hurry. Hong Dali is the Devil’s Chosen One. Do you think such a person will be easy to defeat?” Torte smiled and touched his chin. “Let them fight first. When Sir Oracle comes, we’ll just put on a show and pretend we were fighting too. There’s no need to exhaust ourselves now. There’ll always be a chance to fight later.”
“That’s true.” Torim nodded. “I heard that the reason Hong Dali got targeted by Sir Oracle was that he planned to release the people from other dimensions in secret. To be honest, I’m not very willing to fight against such a person. We might be from the Inspectorate, but we should still differentiate good from evil.”
“Yes, that’s true.” Torte nodded and laughed. “We will just watch and enjoy the show.”
The two were talking when suddenly, a soldier approached and reported in a hurry. “Lords! Hong Dali is heading here with his people, we are awaiting your instructions!”
This guard originally wanted to get these two lords to assist in capturing Hong Dali, but it was obvious that he was going to be disappointed.
“Oh, they’re coming towards us?” Torte smiled and stood up lazily. “Okay, Torim, it looks like we can’t just sit and watch anymore. Let’s go meet them and say hello.”
“Hehe, that will be good.” Torim nodded and picked up his sledgehammer, then followed Torte. Both of them headed in the direction of Hong Dali.
Soon, they encountered Hong Dali and his lackeys dashing around.
“Hehe, you’re Hong Dali? The Devil’s Chosen One that Sir Oracle personally ordered to be captured?” Torte stood in the sky and looked at Hong Dali. “The little guy looks really energetic, not bad. He seems active and motivated.”
“You’re both Top Operatives as well?!” When Hong Dali saw the two of them, he immediately clenched his fists. “Get out of the way! Anyone who blocks the way must die!”
To be honest, Hong Dali just spoke without any real intention behind it. He didn’t expect the two giants to actually stand aside for him.
“You don’t want to catch me?” Hong Dali was curious. He did not hurry off—instead, he paused. They seemed open to negotiation…
“Actually, we prefer to just watch the fun.” Torte smiled, then suddenly leaned into Hong Dali and whispered. “I heard you made a planet called Azeroth? Not bad, not bad. You’re purposeful. Hehe.”
“Eh? You know about it?” Hong Dali frowned. He was unsure as to the intentions of the two giants in front of him.
“Somewhat.” Torim nodded and said softly, “En, my brother Torte and I have berserker and man-eating demon blood. Simply put, we’re somewhat affiliated with the people from other dimensions. You did well this time. It’s the first time I’ve seen people from so many different dimensions getting along amicably.”
“Have the two of you been helping to smooth things for Azeroth?” After listening to them, Hong Dali finally understood something.
Previously, when he had gone to look for the Demon King Zero, he realized that no one from the Inspectorate had been to Azeroth, and it seemed to be peaceful. That made Hong Dali very curious. Now that he heard what these two people said, he finally understood why.
“We didn’t do anything. Haha.” Torte laughed. “We didn’t instruct anyone to do anything, either.”
“En, we’ll take it as you passed our test.” Torim waved his sledgehammer. “Go wherever you’re headed. However, a friendly reminder. It’s best not to go east, the Red Dog over there is very hard to deal with.”
“That’s right.” Torte nodded in agreement. “Also, that guy is very loyal to Sir Oracle.”
“Thank you for your reminder.” This was important intelligence. Hong Dali quickly thanked them. “You really don’t intend to attack me?”
“We have to, of course,” Torte said, making a dash for Hong Dali and his party. “But if we can’t catch you, then it’s not our fault. Right, Torim?”
“Yes.” Torim also began to wave the sledgehammer in his hand. “Come on, let us try you out!”
…
Among the stars in space.
A beautiful silver-white spacecraft flew into the range of Prison Star.
In the main control room of the spacecraft, the Oracle Lord Lakdanath leaned comfortably back on the huge metal throne, watching the information transmitted from Prison Star. Beside him, seven people of different shapes could be seen. These people were of all races, some male and some female. The only thing they had in common was the immense power emanating from them. It was extremely terrifying.
These seven people were the Seven Heavenly Kings under the Oracle, and each of them was a sub-god level warrior!
“This bunch of useless fools. They can’t even capture one Hong Dali.” The Oracle looked at the screen, his face depressed. “The Great Master told me that Hong Dali has to be captured at all costs. If we screw up, not only will I be in trouble, all of you will be in trouble too!”
At this time, a Heavenly King with black double horns on his head said in a deep voice, “Hong Dali is Devil’s Chosen One, after all. It’s not so easy to catch him. Sir Oracle, don’t worry, wait a while. When Hong Dali and his people get tired, we will be able to catch him. That will also minimize the chance of accidentally forcing him to commit suicide due to the fact that his fighting instinct is in overdrive now. It’ll be bad if that happens.”
“Okay, that makes sense.” After hearing the Heavenly King’s words, the Oracle nodded. “Previously, when Her Majesty sealed the Devil, he somehow escaped. That caused the Devil’s Chosen One to appear. If we want to find the Devil, we still need to depend on this Hong Dali. If he commits suicide, there’ll be no fun to be had after that. Forget it, let him wind himself up first. When you all make a move later, you have to make sure you succeed, understand?”
“Understood!”
