When Zod mercilessly obliterated Asmodeus's soul, the system's voice immediately echoed in his mind:
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for defeating two Hell Lords, gaining +2 roulette draws. Please continue your efforts!"
Seeing this, the Demon King Belial, known for his wickedness and cunning, immediately pledged allegiance to Zod.
"Great strong one, Belial is willing to become your loyal servant."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for defeating the third Hell Lord, gaining +1 roulette draw!"
Hearing this prompt, Zod confirmed his suspicion: the triggered system mission only stated 'defeat' these Demon Lords, not 'slay' them. Therefore, as long as they surrendered to him, the mission could still be completed.
The Demon King Aim gritted his teeth and angrily questioned, "Belial, are you going to abandon the dignity of a Demon King?"
"Heh heh! Is dignity something very important to us demons? I don't want to die like this."
Upon hearing this, Belial sneered twice, his tone full of disdain.
"Since you surrender, then come over!"
Hearing Zod speak, Belial, without a care for his image, respectfully knelt before Zod.
Seeing his posture, Zod didn't despise him; after all, a wise man submits to circumstances.
Immediately, he raised his hand and condensed several Sun Runes, which instantly merged into Belial's soul.
"Ah!"
The soul-piercing pain caused Belial to howl agonizingly.
Seeing this, the Demon King Aim burst into unrestrained laughter, then taunted:
"See, Belial, even if you cast aside your dignity and surrender at his feet like a Hell Worm, you will still suffer this pain."
Beelzebub and Krathis also watched the scene with cold eyes.
They shared the same thought in their hearts. They exchanged glances, a look of grim determination on their faces.
Surrender was impossible; even if they died, they would make Zod pay a price.
Every move they made was captured by Zod's powerful divine sense. He merely sneered inwardly.
The painful sensation on Belial's body came quickly and left just as fast.
After only a few breaths, he no longer felt any pain.
However, he had clearly heard Aim's taunt and couldn't help but ask Zod, "Respected Master, I have already submitted to you, why must your servant still endure such pain?"
"Hmph, if you were truly sincere in your submission, you wouldn't have asked that question!"
"This is just an insurance I left in your soul. If you dare to harbor any improper thoughts, your fate will be the same as Asmodeus."
As Zod spoke, the expression on Belial's face shifted repeatedly.
As a Hell Demon King, such methods were once what he used to toy with his chosen prey, yet he never expected that one day he would become the prey himself.
"Hahahahaha, Belial, from now on you will forever be a pathetic worm!"
The Demon King Aim burst into laughter again upon hearing this.
"So noisy!"
The next moment, his laughter suddenly froze. Before the arrogant expression on his face could even recede, he turned into a soulless corpse.
Seeing this, Beelzebub and Krathis finally no longer hesitated and launched a suicidal attack directly at Zod.
"I wondered how long you two could endure!"
Zod merely raised his hand towards them. Instantly, golden chains formed from Sun True Fire extended from all directions of the Yang Flame Domain, firmly locking the two Demon Kings.
Zod obliterated their souls using the same method.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for defeating the fourth, fifth, and sixth Demon Lords, gaining +3 roulette draws!"
"Six draws in total, I refuse to believe I won't get anything good."
At Zod's current realm, it was very difficult to improve quickly, but if he could draw some good items from the Myriad Worlds Roulette, it was still possible.
At this moment, Zod's heart was filled with anticipation, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
Belial watched all this, unable to help but feel wise for surrendering in time. Although he might lose his freedom from now on, it was still much better than dying like this.
However, his gaze then turned somewhat covetous towards the demonic bodies of Beelzebub and the others.
"If I can devour the demonic power within them, my strength will become unprecedentedly powerful."
And Zod could clearly perceive everything he was thinking.
He couldn't help but shake his head inwardly, saying, "Demons are indeed demons. Seeing their former allies die before them, they show no sadness at all. Their first reaction is actually to covet their power."
Immediately, he let out a cold snort, instantly making Belial put away his petty thoughts.
"From today onwards, you are the new ruler of Hell. When I need you, I will inform you."
Although this Hell Dimension was not of great value to Zod, there was no harm in making it a future subordinate territory of New Krypton, especially since he had already received his mission reward.
"Yes, my Master."
Belial respectfully responded, a huge joy welling up in his heart.
He had originally thought he would be taken away by Zod and become a true slave, but it seemed that was not the case now.
Having completed all this, Zod lost interest in Hell and immediately prepared to leave.
However, at this moment, Belial suddenly spoke respectfully to Zod, "Please, Master, tell your servant your name, so that other demons in Hell can also spread it in the future."
"Zod!"
After dropping two words, Zod's figure vanished from Hell and instantly returned to New Krypton... In five years, the changes on New Krypton could only be described as earth-shattering.
Originally, there were only a dozen or so buildings surrounding the tree of life, looking like a small village.
But after years of development, it had completely transformed into a futuristic city, with sunflowers covering every corner of the city.
The population on Krypton had also directly multiplied several times from its original number of less than two hundred, now reaching nearly ten thousand people.
This was still the result of Fiora and the others not daring to continue using the Genesis Chamber to gestate new clan members without Zod's command.
Although most of them were still teenagers, no one dared to underestimate them.
This was because ever since these children were still in the Genesis Chamber, every one of them absorbed the purest Sun Essence produced by the sunflowers.
One could say they were truly new Kryptonians who learned to fly before they learned to walk.
When Zod appeared, Fiora and the others, who had already returned, all excitedly gathered around him, with the other Kryptonians following closely behind.
"Father!"
"General!"
In an instant, countless voices converged into a rolling sound wave that echoed throughout New Krypton.
