The Clown King grabbed him and examined him briefly. His eyes, hidden beneath the paint, flickered with violent emotions, which were quickly suppressed.

This demon was just unlucky; it was the closest demon to this place and had absolutely nothing to do with the entity that killed Bloodbabu.

"They couldn't even find that friend, so it must have been another lord who did it?" Clown King glanced around, stopped investigating, and quickly left.

His unique characteristic, "nursery rhymes," is that he can infuse his own insights and qualities into them, and then the "nursery rhymes" will become a song that people can sing.

After the nursery rhyme is sung, special changes will occur according to its meaning.

For example, in "Find Friends," you can quickly lock onto the aura of flesh and blood, and then summon the enemy whose aura is that aura.

It possesses some causal and conceptual characteristics, which is also one of the main means of control by the Piedmon.

If this ability fails to find the person, then searching solely through perception will be even less effective.

After a long time, nothing changed, as if nothing had happened.

At that very moment, the weather suddenly changed in the sky not far away.

Acid rain has started to fall.

Most importantly, there were also some green lightning bolts brewing in the clouds and sky.

After a long time, the fluctuations in the elements caused some changes to the terrain.

As the lightning struck the scorched earth, the terrain was completely transformed.

A mass of flesh and blood emerged from the ground and then flew into the sky; it was a 'balloon'.

The difference is that this balloon is a human head balloon, made entirely from the head of a demon.

After this one balloon appeared, countless balloons floated in the air.

The Clown King, far away in the Demon Castle, frowned slightly upon sensing the situation there.

He truly left, but he also used his authority as a lord to make certain modifications to that area.

The interdimensional war is about to begin, and this transformation is not considered profound.

Therefore, due to the natural changes in the number of layers and the region, this method can only exist for seven or eight days.

However, unexpectedly, a sudden thunderstorm prematurely triggered and exposed his plans.

"Such bad luck?" The Clown King took out a box and was about to crawl into it when a fluctuation came from not far away.

Seeing this, Clown King had no choice but to put the box away.

The newcomer was entirely black, with a pair of bat wings on his back. The wings were covered with feathers that resembled those of a raven, but upon closer inspection, one could see that the feathers were actually black mist, with numerous black tentacles spreading out from them.

This is a Shadow Fiend.

"Atata, you got here so fast?!" the Clown King asked.

The Shadow Fiend's body writhed, and then an equally black head emerged from within it.

“There’s no other way. If you don’t hurry, you might run away.” The head spoke, and it was Atata, the lord of the 263rd layer of shadowy sky.

He is also a Shadow Fiend.

However, unlike the Clown King, Attatar is fond of his own kind, so he has a large number of Shadow Fiends serving him.

This meeting with the Clown King was also to allow a projection of himself to parasitize one of his descendants.

After all, unless a demon lord starts a war, it is impossible for them to personally go to the territory of another demon lord.

The instinct to reshape the land and imbue it with their own characteristics was enough to cause conflict between the two demon lords.

"Hehehe, then I'm afraid you'll take over my territory!" the Clown King said with a laugh.

Even in a cooperative relationship, the Clown King and Atatana could betray each other at any time.

Chapter 405 Testing the Alliance

On the other hand, Nems emerged from his independent time and quickly moved to a new position.

Numerous balloons depicting human heads floated in the sky.

Nemus turned and swung his sword, the surging sword energy echoing the green lightning.

Sword of Fortune - Thunder Falcon!

The exploding lightning spun and engulfed most of the head-shaped balloons.

Then, under the cover of the lightning, Nemus's aura faded.

"Hmm?" The Clown King's mind was slightly disturbed.

"Is something the matter, Clown King?" Atata asked.

They were just discussing some details about attacking floor 333.

As allies, their most important task is not to help each other during an attack, but to avoid hindering each other during an attack.

Just like what the Clown King said before, if He really sneaks away...

The most likely scenario is that Atata will abandon the opportunity to attack 333 and instead turn around and charge directly at His 181.

A territory without a lord offers limited resistance to another demon lord.

Therefore, this joint attack on floor 333 to confront the Twin Demons will inevitably require them to leave their territory for some time.

Therefore, they need a detailed contract to bind each other.

Atata immediately seized upon the Clown King's mental fluctuations.

"No, it's a small matter. There's just a strange demon causing trouble in my territory."

"My men have already located the target, but the fact that it's a rare species is a bit surprising." Clown King immediately knew that he couldn't show weakness at this moment.

If one's own territory is not stable, it means that one's control over the territory is insufficient, which is a weakness.

Atata will inevitably choose some means to test himself next.

Although the Clown King is not afraid of war, no one knows whether they can conquer the Twin Demons' territory without encountering problems.

It's not the theft itself that's scary, it's having someone eyeing it.

I might not be able to make it through that time smoothly, and I might even cause all sorts of trouble.

The stability of the territory is also the source of a lord's confidence.

As expected, Atata's attitude changed slightly during the subsequent negotiations.

For example, Atata began to tentatively leave some loopholes in some of the regulations.

This kind of loophole is practically an open secret for an old demon like the Clown King.

So the Clown King neither got angry nor pointed out the loophole, but instead added the same loophole to another rule.

By using this method, they forcefully assert that they not only have no problem, but also have the same ambition to seize your territory.

These various amendments to the regulations and the setting of traps are themselves a manifestation of confidence.

The better part of an hour was spent in back-and-forth probing.

Then the Clown King suddenly sensed a slight deviation in the shadows.

This discrepancy only indicates that Atata was no longer satisfied with merely testing the waters of the contract and began to investigate the details further.

"Damn it, that alien demon was too slippery." Clown King's face was covered in paint, but he still grinned confidently.

However, he secretly began to resent the incompetence of his subordinates and the inexplicable appearance of Nemus.

The other party's appearance inexplicably caused me trouble.

His incompetent subordinates were the same.

They haven't been able to capture that alien demon even after all this time.

That's why Atata has noticed the problem and has begun to openly investigate information within His territory.

Once Nemus's information is obtained by the other side, Atata will be able to use it to suppress the Clown King.

This suppression, as it stands, is unlikely to bring any significant benefits.

At most, it will make the Clown King lose some face.

For demons, face is something that refreshes daily.

Before becoming a high-ranking demon, the Clown King was even a favorite courtier of a high-ranking succubus.

He didn't care about saving face.

The problem is that this kind of thing might influence some people's thinking.

In truth, there is no peace in the territory of any demon lord.

Every year, the Clown King can find some hidden Clown Demons in his territory.

The purpose of these clowns is obvious without even having to guess.

Furthermore, all of the high-ranking demons under his command, except for some whose stats were less than 500, harbored the desire to kill him and seize the lord's position.

Although this idea is not openly discussed, it is a consensus in private.

After all, everyone knows what a demon is, so there's no need to elaborate.

In this situation, these people are all potential threats.

However, these hidden dangers are often difficult to connect, and when everyone fights alone, they are basically no match for the Clown King.

However, if Atata were to set his sights on something, he might be able to connect these people using his methods, which could actually cause him trouble.

This little trouble might put him at a disadvantage when he fights with Him for the Twin Demons' territory.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and in the blink of an eye, the Clown King had a new idea.

Clown King narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly his mind wavered for a moment.

These fluctuations, in turn, attracted Atata's attention.

“You’ve got some skill.” The Clown King admitted his weakness: “Even my incompetent subordinates couldn’t capture him.”

During the half hour or so they were discussing just now.

Nemus had already concealed his presence and completed his infiltration.

Although his subordinates found some clues afterward, they were unable to locate Nems.

On the contrary, Nemus jumped out at a crucial moment, intending to hunt down another high-ranking demon.

Unfortunately, this time it was a joint effort by several high-ranking demons.

Among them is the Clown King's 'general,' a baboon demon covered in black fur.

Baboon demons were originally just a type of regular demon, but if some baboon demons grew snake tails, they could naturally be promoted to higher-ranking demons.

It is said that this change is related to a certain demon prince.

This baboon demon is just like that.

Its head resembles that of a baboon, but its body is covered in blue scales, and its feet resemble those of a giant lizard.

Its tail, however, is a snake, and a two-headed one at that.

Its value is close to one thousand, but it has not yet reached its peak.

Most high-level demons, even those that are not of the alien species, will exhibit a similar phenomenon of numerical inflation as alien demons after reaching the high-level demon rank.

Therefore, the maximum value for a high-ranking demon is 1200.

Of course, this doesn't mean that this baboon demon is weak.

Its characteristics and skills are both very strong.

Nemus even suspected that the reason the opponent hadn't reached 1200 was because he was afraid of being targeted and killed by the Clown King.

As things stand, without using the "Self-Agreement" to integrate the other bodies and conduct three- or four-way negotiations, Nemus is no match for the other side.

Fortunately, Nems's ability to hide was astonishing, and he quickly evaded their pursuit.

Similarly, the baboon demon also seems to be on the verge of a passive strike.
