Chapter 1811: 501 I'll take care of this for you.
...
Looking at the polite demon,
Sif couldn't help but frown,
"This is not what we agreed on."
"Glasia demanded that I complete the Tenth Purgatory and then trade with her."
"You've come too early!"
The Devil Lord named Turas gave a slight smile,
"The situation has changed, and the queen has also changed her mind."
"She personally ordered me to complete the trade with you ahead of schedule..."
Sif asked coldly,
"How, ahead of schedule?"
Turas said,
"Give me the Dream Stone and the Iron Tree Heart you hold."
"In return, this Soul Copper Coin will be yours."
"At the same time, the queen will order the cancellation of the bounties of war on your Suki Kingdom, and after we take down the Tenth Purgatory, you'll also have the opportunity to receive some land as a reward..."
"Of course."
His gaze circled the Mechanical Butterfly, his eyes not disguising his greed,
"This Chaotic Ether Core, must also be handed over to us."
Sif's eyes were full of anger.
Their intent couldn't be clearer; it was outright profiteering!
If Sif and Lutisia had pioneered the Tenth Purgatory themselves, even if they had traded with the Demoness of Desire, they could have retained most of the territories of the Tenth Purgatory.
Glasia had previously promised to let them pioneer it themselves.
But when it came to the crunch, the other side chose to go back on their word.
Not only did they want to swallow up the plans to pioneer the Tenth Purgatory, but they even added the butterfly to the stakes at the last minute!
Such unabashed greed was truly unsightly.
"Are you taking advantage of our misfortune?"
Sif watched Turas coldly.
The latter still appeared graceful, but the smile on his face revealed an undeniable sense of triumph,
"No, no, no, as fellow purgatorial forces, how could we perform such an act of kicking someone when they're down?"
"It's just that the situation has indeed changed."
"The queen promised you the opportunity to pioneer the Tenth Purgatory because she believed in your capabilities, thinking you could settle everything happening on Storluk."
"But now it's different..."
"Look, you can't stop that Star Devourer, and before long, this star will disintegrate itself, becoming just one of the countless dust particles in the universe."
"At that point, let alone the Tenth Purgatory, there won't even be a few fragmented planes left here, which of course does not serve the interests of any of us."
"Instead of watching the Star Devourer succeed, we might as well complete the trade ahead of time, handing over the Dream Stone and Iron Tree Heart to us, and let the queen handle the remaining issues."
"This is a trade that benefits both parties, and quite fair, isn't it?"
Sif immediately retorted,
"Who said we can't stop that Star Devourer."
Turas scoffed,
"You don't actually believe that your foolish aunt can stop the Star Devourer, do you?"
"She can't."
"She can only buy time, and to achieve that effect, she also needs to constantly rely on the power of Twilight Creatures!"
"And the power of Twilight Creatures is not to be abused, every bit of strength comes at a price, soon, Miss Lutisia will be doomed because she can't pay the sufficient price..."
As if to prove Turas's words,
In the sky,
A violent transformation suddenly occurred on the female devil who was contending with the Star Devourer—
Accompanied by her hysterical roar,
A khaki mist suddenly appeared beside her.
The yellow unknown substance coated every inch of Lutisia: her face, neck, shoulders, waist, thighs, knees, ankles, and even her wings!
Soon,
Her entire body was covered in yellow spots!
And it was during this process,
Those inconspicuous yellow spots seemed to endow her with unprecedented strength.
Everyone could feel her aura had risen several folds!
After a minute or two,
A constantly twisting shadow appeared behind Lutisia.
The shadow looked like a huge Piranha Flower.
In an instant,
The thick bud opened on its own, and countless thorn-like tubes surged out from it, piercing straight through Lutisia's massive body and then into the female giant's body!
Countless tubes locked the Star Devourer, in the form of a female giant, as firmly as iron chains.
"Hiss—!"
The moment the tubes entered the body,
Even the powerful Star Devourer couldn't help but let out a pained groan.
At the same time,
The aura of the Star Devourer also rapidly collapsed.
Matthew could sense,
Those tubes not only directly suppressed the Star Devourer's strength but were also frantically drawing nutrients and energy from him!
Gradually,
It seemed the Star Devourer was suppressed by the endless spikes that emerged from the shadow behind Lutisia.
But the yellow mist became even thicker.
Even the armed units of the Imperial Descendants couldn't get close.
All that remained in the view was two giant silhouettes still clumsily and strenuously grappling.
Before the yellow mist obscured all the details,
Matthew took a deep look at Lutisia's face.
Her expression was still cold and resolute, with no noticeable change in her eyes, only three yellowish-brown lines had appeared on her cheeks!
"She's borrowing power that's not her own."
"She's going to suffer a backlash very soon."
But Turas's voice was full of schadenfreude.
A flicker of concern passed through Sif's eyes.
Obviously,
She too had noticed something markedly abnormal about Lutisia.
Matthew, however, looked at Turas with an unchanged expression:
