At this time, the changes occurring in The Underworld were finally noticed by the gods.
"What happened?"
A God Emperor who had been watching the Lich War in the Prehistoric World suddenly changed expression. "It seems there's a serious problem in The Underworld. The Three-Headed Demon Dog, one of the Chaos Demon Gods, has sent a distress signal."
"I received a message too. Strange indeed. The Three-Headed Demon Dog is a Chaos Demon God, a being from the same era as the City Lord. He has already reached the level of God Emperor. For someone like him to request help?"
"Yeah, it's really odd. I also thought it was a scam message at first."
"There's no need to doubt it. If someone of that level is asking for help, something massive must be happening in The Underworld."
Many gods began discussing the matter with serious expressions.
"It's the Evil Gods! They've made their move. They're attacking The Underworld!"
One god shouted, clearly sensing something, its face drastically changing.
"Evil Gods? Those grotesque beings?!"
"Damn it! If it's that group of grotesques, this is serious trouble."
"They actually possess the strength to invade The Underworld, forcing the four great Chaos Demon Gods to call for help. How have these grotesques grown so powerful? How could this happen?"
"That's right. Why attack The Underworld? What's their goal?"
"Regardless of the reason, if it's something those grotesques want to accomplish, we must stop them."
The expressions of many gods turned grim. They immediately prepared to leave, intending to enter The Underworld and confront the invading Evil Gods.
"Jie Jie Jie… don't go. Stay right where you are."
A voice echoed from the void, resonating deep within the hearts of the gods. It was accompanied by eerie laughter that chilled them to the bone.
"Who?!"
One god after another shouted in alarm. Their hearts tightened—whoever this was, they had approached them all silently, unnoticed. That alone proved terrifying power.
"I am the Dream Evil God, the one who governs all nightmares. So, just stay still and enjoy a nice dream."
The voice of the Dream Evil God echoed once more.
Rumble—
In an instant, a silent force spread across the gods—a dreamlike power that hypnotized them, putting one god after another to sleep. They fell into a slumber, unable to move.
"As expected of the Dream Evil God, truly powerful."
"Indeed, to control so many gods instantly… only Dream Evil God could do this."
"If this was orchestrated by Dream Evil God, then this is the perfect plan."
Excited voices of the Evil Gods echoed from the void.
"By the way, since they're trapped in a nightmare, should we take this chance to attack and kill them?" an Evil God suggested eagerly.
The other Evil Gods were tempted. If they could eliminate these gods, they would remove many enemies and instantly rise in power across the heavens and realms.
"Don't be reckless."
The Dream Evil God cast a calm glance at the one who had spoken. "I can only trap them for ten minutes at most. If you touch them, it will trigger their divine defense mechanisms. They'll instantly awaken from the nightmare. Doing so won't kill them—it'll only help them escape."
It warned the others not to interfere.
If these gods could be killed so easily, Dream Evil God would have done so already. Though powerful, its ability had limits.
"I understand."
Hearing this, the Evil Gods no longer dared to act rashly. If the trapped gods broke free, they would all be slaughtered—and their plans ruined.
"But… what about The Underworld? How's the situation there?" one Evil God asked.
"Don't worry. Everything is going according to plan. The four great Chaos Demon Gods have already been trapped. The Underworld is wide open. Soon, countless Evil Spirits will be released."
Dream Evil God smiled.
Meanwhile, inside The Underworld…
"Evil Spirits, the gate to The Underworld has been opened! You are free! Leave this place immediately!"
"Join us, the Evil Gods. Come to the real world and slaughter all in your path!"
"You are free now. No one can imprison you in The Underworld anymore!"
The Evil Gods shouted, trying to stir the evil spirits, encouraging them to leave The Underworld and even offering them a chance to become Evil Gods themselves.
Their cries spread quickly.
"What? The gate of The Underworld has opened?"
"Haha! At last! I've waited so long to leave this cursed place!"
"Let's go! My blade thirsts for blood!"
"We must return to the living world! We must rise again!"
Excited by the news, countless Evil Spirits began to stir. They saw a glimmer of hope—a path to freedom.
Those still engaged in internal conflicts immediately stopped fighting. Compared to the real world, The Underworld was unbearable, even for them.
"Is it true? Has the gate really been opened? What about the four Chaos Demon Gods guarding this place?"
One ghost questioned suspiciously.
"Of course it's true! The gate has been breached by our Evil Gods, and even the four Chaos Demon Gods have been suppressed! No one can stop you now!"
An Evil God announced proudly. "You should be grateful! Worship us! If not for us, you'd be imprisoned here for eternity!"
He looked down arrogantly, attempting to command the Evil Spirits.
"Idiot."
"Worship you? Who do you think you are?"
"Get lost! I'm leaving The Underworld, and no one rules over me!"
"Stupid Evil God, who gave you the right to act tough here?!"
A group of Evil Spirits sneered and glared at the Evil Gods with disdain. They didn't fear them. They were already dead—what did they have to fear?
What?!
The faces of the Evil Gods darkened, filled with rage. They had gone through so much to open the gates of The Underworld, paid a steep price—only to be insulted like this?
They were Evil Gods, the most malevolent beings in existence—and these Evil Spirits dared to speak against them?!
