Chapter 1063: How Much Can One Bullshit?

Upon seeing a Green Demon killed as easily as that, the group of demons flinched.

The Red Demon frowned as it said, "As we had feared, it's becoming increasingly dangerous for us the deeper we proceed. The death of Green Demons has become commonplace now."

Since Feifei had reached Tier 5 by now, the Monster Gecko Kings she created were now at Tier 3 strength. So, whenever they appeared as boss monsters of a chamber, it meant a tough fight for the Green Demons, who were also at Tier 3 in strength.

Rarely, a Monster Gecko Emperor made an appearance, causing a headache for the Yellow Demons. So, the danger of the labyrinth had now been etched in their minds.

Now that they watched a Green Demon get killed so easily as that, the group of demons looked at the faces of one another, frowning as they discussed some more. They tested and trialed some more as the messengers brought all the information to the council.

The council of Black Demons had been working nonstop recently, creating items that were no different to Demon Arms. Surprisingly, they wouldn't boost the strength of a demon wielding them like it did for humans.

So, they had been working and experimenting on some things, eventually creating a method in which they could use the bones of the Monster Gecko as equipment. Of course, just like the Demon Arms, not only were the bones used, but every part of the Monster Gecko was treated as an item.

The skin was used to create armor to repel the cold in the freezing environment of the labyrinth. On top of that, it also protected them from the freezing liquid every Monster Gecko spat out at the moment of death.

That wasn't all. The Black Demon council also created a method to infuse the hearts of the Monster Gecko into the items they created, also adding some miasma into it by fusing a Demon Core in its center. This way, they created a new product that boosted their strength in the same way Demon Arms did for humans.

Gecko Arms!

They began to call it as such, immediately spreading the information to a group of Yellow and Red Demons that worked to produce them en masse. By using such equipment, their exploration quickened.

It was not to mention the fact that every demon carried pellets of miasma that the Black Demons had personally condensed. Each pellet had a rich reserve of miasma, enough to replenish a Red Demon's energy reserve and heal it back to full health even if it only had a Demon Core remaining.

This level of compression was only possible for a Black Demon. The Layer 2 that had remained unchanged for the past two millennia began to rapidly progress in the aspect of development as all the Black Demons of the world pooled in their knowledge and experience.

It was an unprecedented situation.

A Yellow Demon nodded at the group, tying a rope around its hip as it began to head towards the pond. Taking hold of the rope were four Red Demons, intending to pull it back with all their strength the moment something happened.

As for the Yellow Demon, it held a spear with a hook-shaped blade, approaching the water as it jumped into it immediately, ready to thrust with its spear. Having fought such battles for years, all the Demons had experienced a growth in their senses.

With that, the Yellow Demon was able to sense a gigantic creature heading its way, brandishing its spear at its opponent, drawing out blood. The two entities fought nonstop as the Yellow Demon felt its body turning limp from the cold, its defenses failing over time.

It suddenly lunged forward, stabbing its spear right in the head of the fish as it tugged its rope in a certain manner they had specified before. The moment it did so, the Red Demons pulled the rope backward with all their might as the Yellow Demon pulled out the fish along with it.

The moment it was pulled towards the surface, the predator fish struggled to breathe, limping in place. However, the demons had sour moods upon seeing it, noticing its massive size spanning five meters in length.

But that wasn't all. It had a set of protruding teeth that had evolved to rip apart any prey it bit just once. Moreover, its massive round eyes stared at the demons, causing them to flinch as a feeling of fear pervaded their hearts.

This was the first time they had seen such a creature after the Monster Geckos. In Layer 2, where the number of races had been a constant 3 for two millennia, the introduction of new races one after another in a short time was perplexing. Their worldview had been overturned.

The messenger group arrived immediately, telling them to remain in waiting while they transported the fish back to the council to be researched further.

"Are you able to create new races?" Hwait asked in shock as it gazed at the Supreme Monster Gecko seated beside it. As it looked at the other party, it faintly shuddered. 'It has grown tremendously strong since last time. It's already on par with a Red Demon now. Soon, it would enter our domain of strength. A decade, huh.'

"As I told you before, this is possible for a deity," the Supreme Monster Gecko said while smirking. "My master is a deity that arrived at this world to train herself. And she'll return when her time's up."

"If she's a deity, why hasn't she come to face us personally?" Hwait was confused. "If she's really as strong as you said, can't she just defeat us and force us to submit to her?"

"Well, you are right about that. But..." The Supreme Monster Gecko smirked with a condescending gaze as it replied, "Why should she do that? She won't make a move unless you prove yourselves worthy first."

"Then, how strong is a deity?" Hwait asked, expressing its curiosity.

"Do you remember the weapons brought in by the first generation of humans?" the Supreme Monster Gecko smirked as it said in response.

"Yes." Hwait nodded as it shuddered. In the past, when it touched such a weapon, its arm burst into pieces that rotted instantly. From there on, it felt a formless fear whenever it thought of such a weapon. However, that also allowed it to obtain knowledge about Spiritual Energy and eventually create a method for all the Black Demons to grow stronger.

"Well..." The Supreme Monster Gecko smirked as it explained, "Any deity can casually wield that. And a stronger deity is called an immortal, one with a nigh-infinite lifespan. And my master, she doesn't have the concept of death. She's a perennial, an incarnation of a concept."

"Think of it like this," it continued. "What did you think would be when this miasma that you all rely upon gain consciousness and take on a physical form? As long as the miasma exists, this entity is alive."

"As long as the miasma exists..." As Hwait muttered, it shuddered at the notion, realizing the true extent of the power it was facing against.

"Yes, and there are divisions even among the perennials," the Supreme Monster Gecko said in an expression of devotion. "Master Feifei is powerful even among them. Someone so strong, even the God Realm, the land of the Gods know of her pretty well."
