On the scorched earth, demonic energy echoed.

The Fighting Demon descended.

The Demon Lord stood in awe.

The meeting of the two demons triggered an earth-shattering change.

"The time has come..." After a moment of silent eye contact between the two demonic figures, the Lord of All Demons spoke first, "The victor and the vanquished should be decided."

"Victor? Vanquished?" The Fighting Demon's voice sounded ethereal and ancient, sending chills down one's spine. "Decided?"

He repeated the two keywords in the other's sentence, adding a questioning tone.

"Divinity depends on power," the Demon Lord continued. "Between you and me, only a battle... can determine who is the god of the scorched earth."

"Oh..." The Fighting Demon responded, paused for two seconds, and then continued, "You're standing in front of me for such a boring thing?"

"Boring?" The Lord of All Demons said coldly. "Hmph... are you trying to escape?"

"No, I just think you're pathetic," the Fighting Demon replied.

"What did you say?" This was the first time in the Demon Lord's life that he had heard someone evaluate him like that.

"If you want to be the 'God of the Scorched Earth,' then go ahead," the Fighting Demon said, ignoring the Demon Lord's question, and continued, "I... was never a god to begin with. I am a demon, the strongest demon in this space-time." As he spoke, he resumed walking forward.

"I have no interest in doing that kind of mountain-occupying thing, that's what pseudo-gods and humans are keen on." The Fighting Demon said as he passed by the Demon Lord. "I also don't need to prove my status or strength by defeating a small demon from the Second Era like you."

The Lord of All Demons listened to these harsh words, watching helplessly as the other brushed past him.

Throughout the entire process, the Demon Lord wanted to attack the Fighting Demon several times, but he was forced back by an invisible pressure, unable to move.

"Between you and me, who is stronger and who is weaker, you already know in your heart." The Fighting Demon continued forward without looking back, "If you really consider yourself a god, then in these long years... how could you allow three other beings in the same space-time to call themselves gods and occupy their own territories..." He paused. "In other words... since you have already acknowledged three beings equal to you, what position do you have now to fight me?"

The Fighting Demon's words were powerful and resounding.

The Demon Lord heard this and was speechless.

At this moment, the Lord of All Demons finally understood... that he was indeed pathetic, and his realm was too far away from the Fighting Demon's.

From the beginning, the Fighting Demon had placed himself in the position of "the strongest." He only attacked those he recognized and who had the ability to pose a threat to him.

As for so-called "gods" like the Four Pillar Gods… who restrain each other and compete for territory and interests in coexistence, the Fighting Demon did not even think they were worth defeating. Because they themselves did not think they were "the strongest."

"Wait!" After a few breaths, the Demon Lord finally spoke again, "That's right, I really don't have the courage to take the initiative to fight the other three gods, because I know very well... that would be courting death." He turned around and questioned the Fighting Demon's back, "But... can you do what I can't do? Do you have a way to fight against the Time Lord, the Court of Truth, and the Netherworld Underlord alone? If not, then your arrogance... is just arrogant stupidity."

"I see..." At this moment, the Fighting Demon... stopped and murmured, "You are not only pathetic... but also very ignorant."

As the words fell, the demonic energy moved.

The Fighting Demon's body did not make any movements, but his attack had already been launched.

The vast demonic energy surged and roared, with the power to shock the heavens and the ability to move the earth.

The move appeared in an instant and ended in a breath.

When the Demon Lord came back to his senses, half of his torso... had already disappeared.

Facing the Fighting Demon's attack... not to mention making a response, the Lord of All Demons didn't even react.

"There are three reasons why you are alive." The Fighting Demon looked down at the Demon Lord who had fallen to the ground, "First, I haven't found my 'eyes' yet, and my condition is not good; second, you are also a demon, and you have some resistance to demonic energy; third, and most importantly... I, showed mercy."

The Demon Lord really couldn't move this time, but he could still speak: "What... are you going to humiliate me before killing me?"

"I don't have that kind of leisure," the Fighting Demon replied. "I spared your life to answer your question just now..." He continued, "Just now you asked me what way I have to fight against those three small gods, now I can tell you... fight them like this."

After saying that, the Fighting Demon turned around and left, without even looking at the Demon Lord.

…………

At the same time, the Useless Alliance team, who were watching from afar, were undoubtedly shocked.

"Holy crap..." Bi Laoshi exclaimed, "I didn't see it wrong, did I? That strange black shadow killed the Lord of All Demons in seconds?"

"That 'strange black shadow' you're talking about should be the legendary 'Fighting Demon'," Honghu responded.

"What is that?" Bi Laoshi asked again.

Not only Bi Laoshi, but the other three members of the team also looked at Honghu with questioning eyes.

Seeing this, Honghu pushed his glasses and explained, "I once heard the Time Lord say... in a period called the 'Ancient Era,' there were two strongest existences in Thriller Paradise's main universe, one was 'Supervisor God,' and the other was 'Fighting Demon.'" He gestured with his eyes to the black shadow in the distance, "One day, a war between gods and demons broke out, and the two fought in a world-shaking battle. In the end... the Fighting Demon was sealed in a place called 'Gate of Emptiness,' and the Supervisor God was also seriously injured, and in a world-destroying crisis, he disappeared along with the entire era."

"So that means..." Juan Menghai continued, "The one in front of us... is a super-strong Boss who has recently broken out of his seal?"

"I don't know when or how he escaped from the Gate of Emptiness," Honghu said, "But 'strong' is for sure."

"Being able to defeat the Lord of All Demons in an instant is indeed worthy of the name 'strongest'," Uncle Useless said at this time, "But... it feels a bit too outrageous, right? Is this 'Twilight of the Gods' or 'Late Night of the Gods'? If each of the Four Pillar Gods encounters him... wouldn't it be one at a time, and all four would be wiped out?"

"Whatever about that kind of thing..." Honghu continued, "You've all seen his strength, this kind of combat power has obviously exceeded the scope that tactics can interfere with, it's his freedom if he really wants to 'one at a time'... anyway, I don't plan to be hit by him." Saying that, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the Lord of All Demons in the distance, "I think... we should focus our attention on that one now."
