The Ultimate Borer

Chapter 237 Contract, Return

"And the new demons are the ones you saw before, the ones that fought against the demons. It must be said that humans do better than most creatures in terms of survival, and therefore they are the ones that many creatures learn from and emulate!"

The Demon Lord paused, giving Fang Mu some time to organize his thoughts.

"The New Demons are like this. Over the long years, they've become accustomed to the human way of life. They've developed a sense of community, and some even possess emotions. It's precisely because of this trait that distinguishes them from other demons that the New Demons can no longer unleash their demonic powers!"

The Demon Lord sighed and said.

"Thus began the struggle between the demons and the new demons. Tens of thousands of years ago, this debate raged on: should they continue their pursuit of power or awaken their minds? Over the intervening years, the demons gradually dwindled to mere bestiality and lust, while the new demons lost their powerful combat power and skills..."

Fang Mu's eyelids were twitching as he listened to this. He didn't understand why the Demon Lord was telling him all this. Was he trying to tell him that the Demon Realm was in a state of civil unrest?

Fang Mu wasn't stupid enough to say this was information from the Demon Lord. The situation in the Demon Realm is very grim right now. Xia Tian, ​​demon-hunting warriors... you guys should quickly launch an attack and wipe out the Demon Realm...

"So, what does this have to do with the contract you and I talked about? Do you want me to lead the new demon tribe or kill the demon tribe?"

Fang Mu really couldn't stand the riddle man anymore, so he immediately got straight to the point and asked, "From what the Demon Lord had asked him to do before, it can be seen that the Demon Lord doesn't seem to have a very good impression of the demon clan?"

"No, you don't need to do anything!"

Unexpectedly, the Demon Lord uttered these words slowly, and veins popped out on Fang Mu's forehead.

"Diabolo! I'm telling you, I can't beat you, but that doesn't mean you can't play with me all the time. If you're brave enough, let's fight. I may not be your opponent, but I won't let you have it easy either—I promise!"

Seeing the Demon Lord playing tricks on him, Fang Mu immediately slammed the table and stood up. The aura on his body continued to surge, but the burst of momentum was instantly swallowed up by the Demon Lord beside him, as if it had no effect at all - this is a phenomenon that can only occur when the difference in supernatural power index is extremely huge.

"It's not that I don't believe you have this ability. In fact, I do believe you have this ability. This is one of the reasons why I designed to lure you to the Demon Realm. In this transaction, only you and I can make it!"

The Demon Lord's words still took Fang Mu by surprise, but Fang Mu was certain that this guy would not kill him—at least not yet. Otherwise, the other party would never be so good-tempered if he provoked him like this.

"Now you can tell me the content of the deal!"

Fang Mu rolled his eyes. He always hated riddlers and the like.

"Our deal is simple. I'll send you out of the demon world. Once you're out, you can continue doing your work. No matter what you do to disrupt the order of time and space, I'll cover for you. I can even reset time and space for you!"

Fang Mu was very surprised by the Demon Lord’s words. This guy...why is he so kind?

"So what do I need to do?"

Fang Mu firmly believes that there is no free lunch in this world. If you want to get something, you must pay something.

"I just need you to kill any demonized monsters that appear in other time and space. If our Demon Realm is eventually completely occupied by the monsters of the Demon Clan, I hope you can provide shelter for the new demons and leave them a place to live in the Demon Realm!"

"..."

Fang Mu was silent, but his thoughts became more active. The other party's conditions did not sound difficult. He would indeed kill monsters if he encountered them in other time and space. And the latter condition did not seem to be directed at Fang Mu personally - it was more like planning a retreat for the new demon clan. And the habitat of the demon world that Fang Mu could think of... was naturally the territory of the ghost dragon!

"It's okay. If you can't provide a habitat, even if you leave a habitat for the new demons in the space-time rifts of the Demon Realm, I will consider you to have met the conditions of the contract! And... within the contract period, if you need help from our Demon Realm, I will do my best to provide you with assistance!"

The Demon Lord seemed to see Fang Mu's doubts and immediately added something for Fang Mu.

"But, shouldn't something like this be easy for you?"

Fang Mu became even more suspicious. As the ruler of the demon world, the common and strongest enemy of the entire ultimate universe, it was too easy for him to protect his own people and provide them with a habitat.

But the other party asked an outsider (an outsider) to do this. Either the other party was making fun of him, or the Demon Lord could not interfere.

Based on what the Demon Lord said before, Fang Mu was more inclined to the latter possibility. After all, within a race, if the ruler showed obvious favoritism, the balance within the race would be broken and the interests of the other party would be harmed.

"Is it really that simple?"

Fang Mu confirmed again that he had been in the Demon Realm for so long, but he didn't really want to stay here. He wanted to return to the Silver Time and Space.

"It's really that simple! And you only need to abide by this contract for ten years. After ten years, the contract will be automatically terminated!"

The Demon Lord spoke firmly, and then a drop of blood appeared out of thin air from the body in the black robe. The blood flew directly into the parchment and merged with the contract.

"..."

Fang Mu was silent for a moment, and also bit his fingertip, dripping a drop of blood on the parchment. As Fang Mu's blood dripped out, the parchment instantly combusted, turning into two streaks of blood that sank into Fang Mu and the Demon Lord's bodies. Suddenly, Fang Mu had a mysterious feeling that if he broke his oath within these ten years, he would be punished by the destruction of his soul.

"That's all right, I can go out now!"

Fang Mu looked at the parchment that had been burned to ashes and said to the Demon Lord beside him.

"Of course, this is part of the contract. I will definitely abide by it. Come, I'll take you out!"

The Demon Lord seemed very happy and turned into smoke again. After floating in the air for a few times, a door opened in a different space.

Fang Mu walked out quickly, with the Demon Lord accompanying him.

"Teacher, open the door!"

A man and a demon appeared in the Demon Lord City. The Demon Lord spoke to the tall city wall, and the face of the Gate Demon instantly appeared on the wall. The Gate Demon looked at Fang Mu meaningfully, then lowered his chin and opened his mouth.

"I will order all the monsters in the Demon Realm not to stop you from leaving. However, everything you encounter in the Demon Realm... you need to keep it secret from the outside world!"

The Demon Lord seemed unable to leave the Demon Lord City. He just hovered above the city gate and said to Fang Mu.
