Magic? My Iron Torrent will sweep it all away!

Chapter 493 The Demon Clan Invades Great Xia! Wait, where am I?

Upon hearing this, Yax immediately leaned down and laughed:

"My lord, with your strength, mere technological civilization is nothing but a piece of cake."

He paused for a moment, then added the second half of the sentence.

"As for that other technological civilization... it will also tremble at your feet."

Kogas smiled.

It turned around and glanced at the several seventh-tier demon lords behind it.

"Go, bring in a large army."

"We will use this as a starting point to attack those two technological civilizations."

A seventh-tier demon lord accepted the order and turned to step into the wormhole behind him.

Before long, a large army poured out of the wormhole.

Not a single vessel, but a wave.

Thousands of demonic units surged forth, jostling each other: burrowing dragons, heavily armored demon soldiers, winged demons, gargoyles...

Various types of troops quickly covered the already limited ground around the wormhole.

The original demon army began to retreat, making way for them.

At this moment, a colossal beast, almost filling the wormhole, appeared.

Its enormous body slowly crawled out from the depths of the wormhole, its tentacles drooping and its fleshy growths trembling slightly.

First head, second head, third head...

This is the source of the Kogas faction's confidence!

Kogas hovered in mid-air, looking at the distant blue-gray planet, and said casually:

"This civilization is the most recent, so let's deal with it first."

Upon hearing this, Yax's expression changed slightly.

It bowed and said:

"My lord, although the Kona civilization is nearby..."

"But it has no means to threaten an eighth-tier demon god."

"Even if we leave it alone, after a siege for hundreds of years without supplies, it will decay on its own and we can take it down sooner or later."

"The real problem is the technological civilization that killed Lord Oren."

Kogas turned his head and stared coldly at Yax.

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Yax felt a sudden tightness in his chest, and a chill ran down his spine.

The last one to be stared at like this has already gone into Koga's stomach.

"I wouldn't dare."

"I was just suggesting a way to take down these two civilizations more easily."

As for the weaker Terra, no one took it seriously.

Kogas stared at it, motionless.

After a few seconds of silence, he said:

"Considering that you contributed three civilizations at once, I'll let it go."

It turned its gaze back and flew forward.

"Let's hit the one you mentioned first."

Yax immediately bowed.

"Thank you, sir!"

He was overjoyed.

It wants to immediately send those damned two-legged beasts of Great Xia into Kog'Maw's mouth.

On one hand, it was for revenge.

The shadow cast by the Great Xia Dynasty was too strong.

Countless times I've escaped death, countless times I've been chased and blown up by those damn things.

The fear of suffocation still makes my heart pound when I think about it now.

He couldn't swallow this insult.

On one hand, it was to do one last favor for his former master, Orion.

The leader, who had followed them for hundreds of years, ultimately used the other side's territory as a pledge of allegiance...

But avenging him was a way of fulfilling my final act of loyalty.

Most importantly, there's a third point!

This trip back to its home planet allowed it to thoroughly review its information on technological civilization, ensuring it would no longer be completely clueless as before.

Technological civilization is not the same as magical civilization or insectoid civilization.

Although magical civilization is unique, it has very few powerful individuals, and advancement is even more difficult than that of the demon race, requiring both talent and time.

In his view, if Great Xia hadn't interfered, Terra would have taken it over in a few years.

But technological civilization is completely different.

There is something called "research and development".

Given enough time, no one knows what powerful weapons they might develop.

It's impressive enough, but the real problem is that it can be mass-produced!

Is it faster for a strong player to level up slowly, or to build a nuclear bomb?

Even a fool knows which one to choose.

The longer it drags on, the more dangerous it becomes.

He could only feel completely at ease if he quickly razed the Great Xia before it could create something even more terrifying!

As a peak eighth-order demon god, Kogas' next step is to reach the level of demon emperor.

This being possesses strength far surpassing Orlins'! Only with his intervention can we have the confidence to avenge our grievances!

……

Kogas took out the crystal core.

The deep blue light shimmered against the dark gold scales, and the spatial coordinates of a blue planet were marked inside the crystal core.

It casually handed the crystal core to a trusted subordinate behind it, saying:

"Give it to the Leap Beast."

"Yes!" The other party accepted it.

The crystal core eventually fell into the claw of a space-jumping beast several hundred meters in size.

The leap beast lowered its massive head and swallowed it whole.

After a moment of silence, its massive body began to tremble slightly, and its whiskers danced wildly.

Space tore and devoured its body.

"Buzz—"

The wormhole, hundreds of meters wide, slowly opened up.

Its edges writhed, emitting a somber, bluish-black light.

The warp beast's body seemed to merge into the wormhole, becoming one with it and serving as nourishment for a stable passage.

One of the space-jumping beasts died just like that, and became another form to continue 'living'.

Kogas showed no pity, his gaze sweeping over a sixth-tier demon beneath him.

"Let's go in and scout ahead."

The sixth-tier demon, who was originally under Orinus's command, froze.

A wormhole is different from a portal.

The portal is like a door; you can see what's on the other side just by looking up.

Wormholes exist at a distance, with the opening and exit separated by pitch black unknown, making it impossible to see what's on the other side.

Once you go in, you might not come out the same way.

What if the other side is the stronghold of a technologically advanced civilization?

What if it's some dangerous place?

But Kogas's orders did not deny this option.

The sixth-order demon bowed his head, accepted the order, and stepped into the wormhole.

The darkness completely swallowed it up.

……

A few minutes later.

The wormhole surged, and a figure stepped out from it.

The sixth-order demon stood still, bowed his head, and reported.

"Sir, there's no problem over there." It paused, then said:

"It's just that the temperature is a bit high."

Upon hearing this, Kogas didn't take the temperature seriously at all.

The demons have visited countless planets and have long since evolved bodies that can withstand both low and high temperatures.

Even now, they are in a vacuum environment, and the direct sunlight from stars hundreds of degrees away has no effect on them.

"Advance!"

It took the lead, its 100-meter-tall body stepping into the dark passage first.

Behind them, countless demon armies roared excitedly, following closely behind like a black torrent, surging in.

……

At the exit of the wormhole, a blinding white light greeted the eye.

However, the high temperature of around 500 degrees Celsius was only slightly warmer for Kogas.

The temperature here is only slightly higher than that of the Demon Race's home planet.

Kogas surveyed the desolate surroundings, his brows furrowing slightly.

Is this definitely a technologically advanced planet?

It doesn't resemble the places I've occupied before at all!

He immediately released his domain.

Perception is like ripples, spreading outwards for thousands of miles from its center.

It wanted to pinpoint the location of the civilization as quickly as possible, understand the terrain, and find its core.

Then, his expression turned ugly.

There are no cities within a vast area.

There was no sign of life.

There were no buildings, no machines humming, and no signs of intelligent life.

There were only rolling sulfuric acid clouds and that eerie orange-yellow sky.

And there was the scorching heat of over 460 degrees Celsius and the terrifying storm in the distance.

Kogas: "........"

The demon army that had just emerged from the wormhole looked at each other, none daring to speak first.

"...Where is this?" Yax was dumbfounded.

Where is there even a trace of civilization in this?!

Where did the warp drive come from?
