Vlad had no idea what was happening in the Ninth Layer of Hell. No matter how powerful or capable he was, there were limits to what he could perceive or control, and the Alien Powers were true masters of schemes and hidden machinations.
For now, his focus remained on the present.
He advanced with the army of the Six Sun Alliance through the layers of the Abyss, hunting down Demon Lords and harvesting their bloodlines and souls. Fortunately for the alliance, Demon Lords differed greatly from their devil counterparts.
Unlike Devil Lords, who were cunning and inclined to hide or scheme, Demon Lords were far more prone to direct confrontation. Even as they grew stronger and their awareness deepened, their chaotic and violent nature remained unchanged. They would rush into battle at the slightest provocation, driven by rage and instinct, rarely considering the consequences.
