Global Demon King: Starting as the Abyssal Dragon

Chapter 301: Void Overlord

At that moment, Primo had returned to his peak condition.

"Jason seems to be in trouble," a companion reported to Primo. For this journey to the Thunder Empire, Primo had brought only two people with him: Jason, the Plague Master and Fallen Druid, and Wil, the hero now standing before him. Wil ranked higher than both Jason and Satoru Sato on the hero leaderboard, being among the top three hundred supreme Heroes, with unfathomable strength and recognized as Primo\'s strongest ally.

"What? Jason is in trouble?!" Primo expressed his surprise. He had a lot of confidence in Jason, not only because he was a well-ranked Hero but also as a druid skilled in disguise and transformation. Primo hadn\'t asked him to directly attack the Darkness City or assassinate the Demon King. With his skills, how could it be possible for him not to escape?

"The Demon King is more difficult to deal with than we anticipated. If even Jason couldn\'t infiltrate, then it\'s hopeless for others," Wil said with a grave expression.

Losing such a crucial ally undoubtedly weighed heavily on Primo\'s spirits. However, the fact that the Demon King had managed to defeat Jason further confirmed his suspicions that this Demon King was extremely formidable, far more so than he had anticipated.

"If he could kill Jason, the rewards and gains from defeating him must be incredible," Primo speculated. "When can we expect our reinforcements?"

"They are on their way and should arrive within the next couple of days... Additionally, I just received word that Emperor Frelio XVI has gone to the Hall of Valor in the Imperial Temple," Wil replied.

"The Hall of Valor?" A smile crept onto Primo\'s face. "It seems the Emperor intends to gamble with the empire\'s heritage and fate, but this could work in our favor."

Wil, not familiar with the specifics, curiously inquired, "What\'s so special about the Hall of Valor?"

Primo explained, "The Hall of Valor harnesses the power and abilities of past emperors. By unleashing this sealed power, the current emperor\'s strength could dramatically increase, perhaps by tenfold or even more. As the Emperor of the Thunder Empire, Frelerio is at least a Level 6 monarch, nearing a Level 6 mythic. Once he absorbs the power from the Hall of Valor, his strength could leap to that of a Level 6 legend."

Wil was astonished. "A Level 6 legend? That\'s almost on par with you, Primo, as a Level 7 mythic!"

Primo continued, "Not only that, but he will also gain the heritage of past emperors, acquiring a nearly indestructible body."

Wil was shocked. "That\'s terrifying!"

Primo responded calmly, "The power of an empire-level force isn\'t as simple as it seems. That\'s the true depth of an empire\'s strength."

Wil laughed, "With such power, along with our assistance, plus the empire\'s own resources and reinforcements from other empires, there\'s no reason for us to fail this time."

Indeed, the top ten on the Demon King leaderboard were at most Level 6 legendary units. Now, with Emperor Frelio absorbing the power of past emperors, his strength actually matched those of the strongest Demon Kings. Under these circumstances, no matter who the Demon King of Darkness City was, he couldn\'t have the upper hand. Given the relatively short development time of Darkness City and the Chaos Federation, they simply couldn\'t contend with the empire on an equal footing.

Primo stood up, "Prepare a large magical formation."

Having worked with Primo for a long time, Wil immediately guessed what Primo intended to do. "Are you planning to predict the future again?"

Primo nodded, "To ensure we leave nothing to chance, I need to see the outcome and process of the war in advance. Only then can we ensure an invincible position."

Wil nodded in agreement. Primo\'s ability with time was formidable. With it, he could foresee the battle conditions, thus gaining insights into the enemy\'s strength, troop deployments, and the course of the fight. With this information, Primo could predict outcomes. Even if the outcomes were unfavorable, he could make targeted arrangements and then re-predict under altered circumstances until he completely countered the opponent, thus securing an absolutely invincible position for his side. This ability was nearly unbeatable. Any enemy facing Primo was ultimately completely neutralized by him.

Of course, foreseeing the future was not without its limitations. First, the more targets and the stronger the targets involved in the prophecy, the more energy would be consumed. If among those targets there were ones whose strength matches or even surpasses Primo\'s, the visions he could see could become partially or even largely blurred.

In the past, it was almost impossible for there to be a presence in Primo\'s prophecies stronger than him. However, in the upcoming imperial war, Emperor Frelio, having merged with the power of the Hall of Valor and reached a Level 6 legend, would be slightly stronger than Primo.

Moreover, since the battle involved the fate of the nation and included millions of units, it was challenging for Primo to see the entire process in detail. However, as a Level 7 being, his capabilities were not just for show. Primo could easily access some visions and still obtain the necessary information from them, at least enough to discern the outcome and result of the battle.

Under these circumstances, how could Primo possibly lose? Only those who foresee the future can remain undefeated in all battles!

By the time Zhang Nu returned to Darkness City, not much had changed during his absence, except for the continual stream of good news from both the north and south. The northern battles were progressing smoothly, with the Thunder Empire\'s southern territory largely reduced to just the Bachor Duchy. Over a hundred towns had been captured during this period, amassing a significant collection of various quality silver and gold treasure chests.

In the south, under the management of the Succubus Queen Han Kexin, the occupation of the Pale Moon Kingdom was nearing completion, expected to wrap up within a couple of days.

Excellent! Not bad at all!

Zhang Nu approached the Demon King Altar, sacrificed a portion of souls to acquire 1 million talent points, and then activated his new talent without hesitation.

[You\'ve activated the Level 6 Talent "Void Overlord"!]

[You\'ve received the blessings of Time and Space, spatial-temporal skill cost -90%, casting time -90%. Your Abyssal Divine Realm will be infused with the power of the Void Divine Realm, granting you immunity to all time-space damage!]

Pleased with the effects of this talent, Zhang Nu appreciated the true value of a Level 6 skill. With the activation of Void Overlord, he would be completely immune to time and space abilities, and his own use of such skills would not only cost significantly less but also cast much faster.

This improvement alone was monumental. Time and space magics often suffer from long casting times and high costs, but a 90% reduction was more than just a slight improvement. Moreover, the infusion of void power into his divine realm had transformed it into a fully independent micro-world.

Anyone who entered his realm would effectively disappear from this world. No matter how powerful the adversaries captured within his realm, even those nearing divine status, once they were inside, they could never escape. Additionally, Zhang Nu discovered an abundance of knowledge on space and time in his mind, another perk of becoming the Void Overlord.

Shortly after attaining this status, Zhang Nu sensed an omnipresent, malevolent consciousness manipulating time, connected to him through the flow of time.

"This is... someone is manipulating time!"

Now as the Void Overlord, he could sense disturbances in the timeline, detecting a fool attempting to use temporal abilities to spy on him, or more specifically, on the impending decisive battle with the empire."
