The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 772 - 252: Judgment Will Finally Come

Throwing out this sentence, Sirron raised the reins in his hand, leading the Abyss Knights and the already apprehended General Sebes away from the anxious military camp.

Meanwhile, in Demon City, a fully armed demon squad also arrived at the home of Deputy Harvik of the Logistics Department with lightning speed, disregarding the latter's stunned protests, they swiftly apprehended him.

All personnel involved in the Dragon family case, no matter the size of their position, were called upon by the Judgers from the Truth Department.

Some clever individuals took the initiative to find the Truth Department and confess their issues, distancing themselves from the about-to-fall Elder Zakro.

Thanks to this, as the investigation deepened, the Truth Department unearthed a heap of issues unrelated to the original case, ultimately merging these myriad problems into one case for processing.

Before the entire case is resolved, all demons involved will be relocated to designated spots for monitored habitation and undergo joint investigations by the Truth and Intelligence Departments.

This night in Demon City is destined not to be peaceful...

Far away in Seldo Port, General Hamoldon with the "Imperial Griffin" could not have anticipated that his epic triumph not only annihilated tens of thousands of demons but also exterminated a group of parasites on the Demon God.

...

At the center of Demon City, in the temple of the Truth Department, the flames of the Netherworld illuminated the vast obsidian hall.

A row of stone pillars engraved with the demon god's emblem stood around, their deep shadows slowly shifting under the heavy dome.

This place was like both an Abyss and a desolate cemetery, with even the air filled with the scent of death.

And at the end of those stone pillars, a granite chair sat at the foot of the Demon God Statue.

And on that chair, Gaolige Sorren, Minister of Religion from Hell, was sitting quietly, the ghostly green soul fire flowing slowly in his skull, as if immersed in meditation.

At this moment, a series of hurried footsteps broke the silence within the hall, and a red-robed Judger strode into the hall, knelt on one knee below the stone steps, and raised the scroll in his hands.

"My lord... there's new information from the dungeon. Due to the peculiarity of the situation... it's best if you oversee it directly."

Upon hearing the hesitant voice, Gaolige did not say anything, merely extending his bony skeletal forefinger and lightly tapped forward.

A transparent ripple spread from the Judger's hands, engulfing the scroll within it.

In the next instant, the scroll unrolled slowly before Gaolige — as if held by an invisible hand.

The aged Witch Demon quickly scanned the contents of the scroll.

In just a few seconds, the soul fire in his skull flickered violently for a moment, a hint of coldness imperceptibly emerging from his deep eye sockets.

"Did he confess everything?"

"Yes, my lord..." the Judger lowered his head, his voice steady and determined, "He not only confessed his issues but also mentioned in his testimony that Zakro Dragon had once instructed his son, Reggie Dragon, to research the 'Great Profanity Secret Technique', using the Maze of Thunder County as a testing ground..."

The so-called Great Profanity Technique is actually a euphemism for researching the Becoming a God Technique.

For ordinary demons, this is a great taboo, but for high-level demons, it's not really a big deal.

After all, which demon doesn't aspire to become a new Demon God? Though they don't speak of it aloud, they ponder it privately, just under a different name and not publicly declared.

Yet, privately is ultimately privately, publicly conspiring and harboring ulterior motives are indeed different.

Gaolige's pupils flashed with a flickering soul fire, as if contemplating something.

And the Judger, crouched beneath the steps, held his breath, pausing a moment before continuing.

"Furthermore, Kamu also confessed... Zakro promised him that if he managed to acquire the complete notes from Luo Yan, he would grant him power on par with the Divine."

"So... is there any issue with Luo Yan?" Gaolige asked thoughtfully.

The Judger bore a slightly regretful expression, bowed his head, and continued.

"We have already dispatched people to the Maze of Thunder County, including the palace on the eighteenth floor. It is no different from the era of Reggie Dragon, including the position of the maze's core... Besides, he definitely followed the requirements of the Demon King Management Department, spreading the Demon King's corruption locally, and the compiled works also contain content of subjugation to the Demon God. All these are consistent with his reports during performance meetings. There is no direct evidence to prove that Luo Yan continued Reggie's experiments."

Gaolige nodded slightly, the bony fingers gently tapping the armrest of the chair, emitting ticking sounds.

"So, Reggie Dragon's research actually had no substantial progress."

The Judger nodded in agreement.

"Yes... however, undoubtedly, his notes suggest he did engage in related research. Kamu's testimony indicates that Elder Zakro was also involved in it, and initially, they applied voluntarily to take up the role of Demon King in the Maze of Thunder County for this very reason. Later, the abandonment of Thunder County was because Elder Zakro believed Reggie had failed..."

Until the principal of the Demon King Academy recommended an outstanding graduate into the Maze of Thunder County, managing what was once a dilapidated maze with impeccable order, to the extent that Zakro mistakenly believed Luo Yan inherited unknown legacies from Reggie.
