Chapter 386 The Sad and Angry Demon King - Socially Anxious Witch in the Apocalypse

Sithlet Torresbay, the Demon King of Evil Spirits, was inwardly horrified. When he merely exchanged glances with that witch, he was inexplicably controlled, transforming into a helpless monster. He could still feel his power within, but to utilize it, he had to follow the predetermined method of this current body. This method of unleashing power was absurdly comical compared to how he usually wielded his strength. Even more terrifying was that every time he struggled, his connection with this sinister god and demon realm grew deeper, and his power was invisibly stripped away by this eerie domain. And then there were the figures appearing before him. Sithlet Torresbay scrutinized them carefully. These were not people; they were clearly memory constructs fabricated by this god and demon realm. They wore bizarre equipment, with some pieces housing unimaginable power. But what was the origin of the power these memory constructs controlled? Why did it feel like the source was him? Sithlet Torresbay glared furiously at these figures. What the hell is going on? If he were familiar with Earth's civilization, he would know that these memory constructs were called "players." But the "players" appearing here were not game-playing humans; they were AI-refreshing players in the magical town's game area. They possessed all the characteristics of players. Watching them braving dungeons and battling bosses recalled the joy of gaming. Of course, if a capable person wished, they could even join in. "Apply the status buffs, drink all the potions." The figure with the [Commander] title said, "Ready the artifact. When we reach phase 3, let's blast him. Start the encounter." Start the encounter? Sithlet Torresbay was infuriated! He was the supreme Demon King of Evil Spirits, and these ants dared to look down on him like this? Utterly suicidal. What? What was happening? Why did he so easily get absorbed into this? He even felt that the line just mentioned made perfect sense? This god and demon realm had major issues. There was no time to think further; a shield and hammer-wielding ant, fully armored, stepped forward, gave him the middle finger, then pointed it downward: "I'm your daddy!" Dammit! When has Sithlet Torresbay ever been despised by an ant like this? He was infuriated beyond reason, the anger in his heart ready to erupt like a volcano, to crush this damned ant. However, when he truly attempted to attack, his assault was weakened under the influence of the god and demon realm's rules. Yet, that was the least of it; the unrealized might was absorbed by the god and demon realm itself. Damn it! Bang! Nonetheless, Sithlet Torresbay's attack was still formidable, severely injuring the provoking ant with a single blow. "Ants dare to battle a god; you have no conception of your own insignificance." Sithlet Torresbay declared proudly and disdainfully. "Heal the tank!" "Keep the aggro stable, brothers, attack him!" The player with the [Commander] title said, immediately applying several statuses on him. What puzzled Sithlet Torresbay even more was that the player he had severely injured began to radiate white, green, and black lights, quickly recovering to a lively state, as if the injury had never occurred. No, the reality was even more terrifying. Sithlet Torresbay, utterly enraged, unleashed several area attacks. No matter how severe the players' injuries were, it hardly impacted their movements or output, unless it was a targeted status affliction. It seemed as if the injuries meant nothing to them. Simultaneously, those who could emit special white, green, and black lights could restore severely injured players to full health. The more Sithlet Torresbay attacked, the angrier he became, yet he just couldn't overcome this group of players. Worse yet, he felt his life force ebbing away… This god and demon realm had major issues. Several times, he attempted to struggle and break free, but the players attacking him seemed prepared. They either activated the so-called "artifact" to block all of his attacks, then launched brutal beatings and assaults on him. "Aaaah…" Sithlet Torresbay was beyond enraged. However, no matter how angry he was, the players' attacks never ceased. Sithlet Torresbay only felt the injuries within him worsening, life force constantly depleting. He might actually die here. ... The severely wounded Sithlet Torresbay had been relocated by Su Miao for experimentation. What about the rest? Should they all be transferred out? Judging by their status, things seemed rather dire. Oh! Su Miao suddenly remembered. She had set up hospitals and schools within the magical town, perfect places to dump them for now. Transferring them out directly would risk any hidden coordinates left by the evil gods or demon kings on their bodies. The pursuing evil gods or demon kings might escape using these marks. After all, the entire magical town was a rough product, filled with loopholes and flaws, prone to exploding if not handled carefully. She needed to be cautious. Chu Jiuyuan and Wang Xuandao watched the void, uncertain and puzzled. The demon king, chasing them so relentlessly, vanished mid-speech. They immediately cast Daoist magic, attempting to shield from the demon king's strike, yet no attack followed. The demon king truly disappeared. "The god and demon realm, the demon king seemed to have mentioned that…" Chu Jiuyuan said, his expression filled with shock, "Wang Xuandao, wasn't this your master's platform? Do you know anything?" Wang Xuandao, carrying the unconscious Tu Guihai, looked perplexed: "I don't know." No sooner had they spoken, when the surroundings transformed. A group of them found themselves on an expansive, lush school field, facing a seemingly luxurious hospital. Here the sunlight was bright, the air fresh, the gentle breeze relaxing. "Did we return to before the apocalypse?" "Am I dreaming?" "…" "I suddenly feel younger, and I'm wearing what looks like a high school uniform?" The ability users, noticing the attire, grew increasingly baffled. Someone gave themselves a hard pinch, bending over in pain. This was no dream. More unbelievably, Chu Jiuyuan found a principal's badge pinned to his chest, holding a speech draft, standing on a podium facing the "students and teachers" who had escaped from the inner world. Reading the speech, Chu Jiuyuan was aghast, and then involuntarily began: "Students, teachers, we have survived, but we cannot relax because monsters may attack our school and hospital at any moment." "Now, let's get those injured to the hospital for treatment, and prepare for the next battle!" "Dismissed!" The speech draft turned into a ball of flame, dissipating in a visually striking manner. After speaking, Chu Jiuyuan was left bewildered by his own words. Regardless of the speech circumstances, treating the injured and quickly reorganizing was crucial at this moment. "How's your master?" Chu Jiuyuan found Wang Xuandao and asked with concern. Wang Xuandao replied, "Master mentioned he entered a state of turtle's breath for healing, but I don't really know. As for this place... Is it truly the god and demon realm?" Chu Jiuyuan said, "Wherever we are, since we're here, let's settle in and prepare for whatever comes." Although he didn't voice it, one question lingered: Who is the master of this god and demon realm? Is it an unknown evil god from the inner world, or something else? "There’s a signal, there’s a signal here!" Someone shouted ecstatically. Chu Jiuyuan and Wang Xuandao took out their phones, discovering that despite their lack of map features, there was indeed a network signal. Having a signal meant they could send out the warning about the inner world's demon kings invading Earth. [Urgent: Inner World Demon Kings to Invade Earth] Posted by: Wang Xuandao Three demon kings from the inner world have descended, invading Earth.

Due to the emergency situation, Wang Xuandao was worried that the network signal might disappear at any moment, so he explained the situation as briefly as possible. To his surprise, the netizens were reacting this way. The demon kings, about to bring despair to the world, were descending, yet people weren't scared at all? However, looking at it from another perspective. The apocalypse had already brought them to this point, and people had long been accustomed to death. Those who survived were already somewhat mentally unstable, weren't they? The arrival of demon kings didn't really merit urgency. “Why don't we start a live stream?” Unexpectedly, Chu Jiuyuan suggested. Wang Xuandao furrowed his brows, “Are you proposing to let them see?” Chu Jiuyuan looked at the clear blue sky and nodded. Wang Xuandao immediately understood. They were currently in an unknown god and demon realm. Judging by the sudden vanishing of Sithlet Torresbay, the situation was quite peculiar. Furthermore, as they moved and adapted to the school environment, they noticed that the number of students was increasing. Reports from those who went to the hospital suggested that many doctors and nurses had appeared. And there were inexplicable phenomena. For instance, they saw a surgical room where the figure of a mysterious witch appeared. The first thing she instructed the queue of “patients” outside was: “Put your brains aside, then come in for surgery.” And those “patients” actually removed their skulls, took out their brains, placed them on the side, and entered the operating room. However, once these “patients” removed their brains, they transformed into grotesque and twisted monsters. These “patients” weren't humans at all; they were monsters. No… These “patients” were demons. ... The demonic army, with the Kuang Gui Dwarf leading the charge, invaded Earth. Emerging from the passageway, they arrived at Sitian Platform, noticing the blood stains on the ground while further away lay untouched areas. “These humans must have been devoured by the Demon King of Evil Spirits.” Kuang Gui Dwarf declared. He swung his battle axe, “Brothers, explore this world immediately. Signal when you find a human settlement. For the glory of Demon King Saler, we shall conquer this new world!” “Roar! For Demon King Saler!” The demonic army was greatly invigorated. In the void, Su Miao watched the demons, contemplating how to scatter them, only for the demons to spontaneously disperse. [Leaving bait was indeed the right move.] [With a bit of guidance, lead them into each section of the magical town.] Su Miao began directing them using the magical town’s permissions. Soon, the demonic army spread out into different areas, yet there were far too many demons entering. This caused Su Miao a bit of concern~ Would the town hold up? Su Miao worried. Her main body was still asleep at the core; a sudden explosion would be dangerous. “Let the demons replenish the town’s energy first.” Su Miao pointed to the void. In an instant, the various parts of the magical town began to awaken and operate. In the food street, merchants and tourists appeared, with every store emitting tantalizing aromas of delicious food. Some demon soldiers discovered the area, their eyes glistening with joy as they rushed to the stalls, grabbing food and stuffing themselves. “Delicious! So delicious!” They ate dish after dish, yearning to rush into the shops for more, but they could only remain at the windows. However, before long, all these demons turned into 300-pound pigs. A butcher approached, knocking each pig unconscious with a club, sending them to the slaughterhouse for bleeding, skinning, and butchering, before delivering them to the stores for fresh delicacies to be served to subsequent customers. “Boss, these are delicious!” Seeing Kuang Gui Dwarf approach, his lieutenant brought over a plate of roast suckling pig. The aroma was irresistible to Kuang Gui Dwarf. He couldn’t stop himself from taking a bite. Once he started, he couldn’t stop. “Kuang Gui Dwarf, what’s going on with you? Why are you eating your kin?” Mei Mo Leader Beierside appeared in the food street, horrified to see Kuang Gui Dwarf eating their kind, and quickly tried to stop him. Kuang Gui Dwarf replied, “Beierside, are you blind? This is human roast suckling pig.” ?! Mei Mo Leader Beierside stepped back, feeling a chill in her heart. At that moment, she noticed a nearby butcher, grinning at her with a spiked club in hand. In the corners of the street, seemingly not-quite-human children ran around giggling. Some even touched her thighs a few times suddenly. “She’s not wearing clothes.” “She’s not wearing pants.” “She’s a succubus, not wearing anything, hehehe.” More and more children appeared nearby, baring fangs: “Let’s send her to the lab; the doctor will surely like her, hehehe.” Terrified, Mei Mo Leader Beierside realized how seriously wrong the nearby situation was. Escape! She turned to flee. But those children, like paper dolls, surrounded her, each grabbing a part of her body, pulling her away. “No, no, no…” Mei Mo Leader Beierside was utterly horrified. She wanted to struggle, to kill these not-quite-human monsters, but she couldn’t do anything. Only then did Mei Mo Leader Beierside realize she had somehow also become a paper doll—a real one—that could be torn apart at any moment. Looking into the distance on the way, she was horrified to see many demon generals experiencing similar bizarre situations. Especially Kuang Gui Dwarf, who had turned into a fat pig. A butcher passed by, trying to knock out the pig Kuang Gui Dwarf had become, but couldn’t. Instead, the pig Kuang Gui Dwarf was having the time of his life eating even more. With no choice, several butchers went up, chopping off the pig’s head. Instantly, blood flowed over the long street, yet the demons who had come to dine remained oblivious, continuing to eat and transform into pigs, only to be slaughtered. “Demon king, save me!” Beierside cried out in despair. Seemingly responding to her plea, Xue Zu Demon King Sale Torisbeiya and Hell Demon King Charlotte Sad Wind emerged from the passageway, descending upon Su Miao’s magical town. Sensing the terrifying spatial energy fluctuation, Su Miao ascended above the Sitian Platform, locking eyes with the two demon kings. Scary~ (The chapter ends here)
