Roan and Sesame didn't have much trouble entering Flangiji. It was indeed a very big city considering the region they are in. However, in the great scale of things in the Underworld, it was still a pretty average city. The strongest expert there was only at the Elemental Space Realm, being at the Initial Stage. Even Roan could easily dispatch the guy.
However, the entire city seemed to be in a state of emergence. All the formations were activated while the gates were being checked every second. The reason for that? Sesame and Roan didn't need long to find out. "What?! The Angels are invading the Underworld?"
Even Sesame, with his rich experience, didn't expect that such a thing could happen. "That's not possible. Are you telling me the entire Underworld is being attacked?"
The Devil, who they were getting the information from, nodded. "Why would I lie about that to you, idiots? If you don't believe me, just go somewhere else and ask the same thing. Now, fuck off!" Naturally, he had no idea how strong Roan and Sesame were since those two were hiding their cultivations.
Roan shook his head. "There is no need for that. We believe you. So, how did the angels find their way into the Underworld? There is the Realm of Gods between the Underworld and Heavens. Besides, the Temporal Path was supposed to be under the control of Devils." Roan then took a few Devilish stones from his Spatial Ring before stuffing them into the Devil's hand. "I'm sure an information broker like you would have some extra details about the issue, right?"
The Devil's expression immediately improved before he put the Devilish Stones away. "Hmph! At least you have good eyes. Anyway, from what I heard, the Angels seemed to have received help from some other power. Don't ask me which one, as I'm not that well-informed. Nonetheless, it has to be some colossus to be able to get in the middle of the fight between these two Higher Realms."
Roan and Sesame looked at each other. The only organization they could think of that had such power was the Vruve Organization. The same one that was taken by the Lafrol Forces after the Extinction Sphere's events. "I see... And how come there is so much Light Element in the air? It makes me quite uncomfortable."
"Quite uncomfortable? Ha! That's because you are quite far away from its source. Since you know about the Temporal Path, you know that it is used to travel between the three higher Realms. The Angels somehow connected the Heavens to the Underworld and are pouring Light Element into this realm nonstop."
He continued. "The closer you get to the Temporal Path, the harder it is for lower-level Devils to even breathe. At the moment, you need to be at least at the Elemental Transformation Realm to go there. Otherwise, the high concentration of Light Element will cause some nasty side effects on your body."
Roan pretended to be surprised. "That bad?! What are the Elder Devils of our realm doing?! Shouldn't they have stopped it before it scaled to this point?"
The broker shook his head. "I don't know the details. However, I heard from some of the Devils who fled from that region that the moment the Angels appeared in the Underworld, some kind of impenetrable formation was activated. Not only that, but Light Element began to pour inside the Underworld straight away from the Temporal Path, causing the concentration of Light Element in the Temporal Path to overcome Dark Element. The Elder Devils seemed to not even have the time to intervene before the area became quite disadvantageous for them."
Sesame pondered a bit as he found it strange. "Even if the environment was worse for us Devils, sure we had the numbers advantage to fight back, no?"
The broker didn't have to answer it before Roan did in his place. "No. Don't forget that the Realm of Gods' experts are trying to take back our Devil Territory in the Realm of Gods. From what I heard, we sent quite a few of our Elder Devils there to help protect that place. After all, a source of living souls is too important for us."
The broker nodded after hearing Roan's words. "That's exactly the case. Half of the Underworld Elder Devils are in the Realm of Gods. I don't know the situation there. However, even an idiot can tell that the Elder Devils in the Realm of Gods are between a rock and a hard place at the moment. They have the Divinity Realm experts of the Realm of Gods on one side and definitely Archangels on the other. I wouldn't be surprised if they gave up defending the territory in the Realm of Gods and fled somewhere else due to disadvantages in numbers."
The broker wasn't completely right, but he wasn't far from the truth either. The Elder Devils were still trying to defend the Devils' Territory in the Realm of Gods. But the reason they haven't fled, as the broker mentioned, was because the Archangels defending the Temporal Path Entrance in the Realm of Gods did not leave their posts. Or, to be more specific, the Archangels couldn't leave their posts even if they wanted to.
If they left and tried to help the experts of the Realm of Gods to fight the Elder Devils, the Elder Devils could use that chance to sneak back into the Temporal Path and return to the Underworld, where they have a lot more advantage. The Archangels were more than happy to stay still as long as the Elder Devils didn't try to use the Temporal Path Entrance in the Realm of Gods. Needless to say, the experts of the Realm of Gods didn't mind it either now that they got the Continental barriers down.
However, Roan was sure about one thing. 'At the Elder Devil level, they don't need the Temporal Path to return to the Underworld. I wonder why they haven't used their own powers to come down and fight the angels yet.'
