On the way to the first prison in Angus City, Starbell Prison, Bella and Insect Empress Vicky Hill were walking side by side. Bella did not believe the words of Insect Empress Vicky Hill. It might be an excuse that she came up with to lie to Bella, but Bella didn’t know the way to Starbell Prison, so she had to correspond to the performance by Insect Empress Vicky Hill.

She was the same as the Mechanical Empress Andulisna and Jade Bone Demon Velouria; Insect Empress Vicky Hill was also a rare beauty, with a strong exotic aura on her body. The dark green long hair, together with the pair of emerald eyes, and in addition to being a person who was good at disguising, she was the same as the loli from the Chaos Bringer, “Poison Origin” Betty. Both of them were existences who had a strong breath of natural life.

The real Goddess of Life was also beside Bella. In terms of the breath of life, as the Goddess of Life of the Twelve Gods, she couldn’t even be compared to this “pirated” Goddess of Life, Insect Empress Vicky Hill. It was unknown how much breath of life Vicky Hill had ingested from living things. It made Bella a little scared when she thought further about it.

After the insects had absorbed the energy, they would transfer most of their energy of life to Vicky Hill in the first instance. That was the Abyss Demonic Beings’ usual practice. Vicky Hill’s expression was always smiling, but Bella instinctively felt that her smile was very hypocritical; at least, Bella couldn’t feel her sincerity.

The only thing that made Bella happy were the clothes that Vicky Hill wore. They were similar in style to the styles of the other two Abyss Creators. They were all styles which were exposed with high levels of skin showing. The clothes worn by the Abyss Creators were more open than that of the World Destructor’s Demon Gods and Evil Gods. That was because the leaders of the Abyss Demonic Kings basically wore no outer clothing. They only used a few parts which resembled scales and covered the intimate parts of their bodies. The rest of the snow-white skin was directly exposed to the outside and outsiders could freely admire it.

The covering material used by Mechanical Empress Andulisna was metal fiber, while the Jade Bone Demon Velouria used specially selected white bones. After the two of them finished wearing them, the level of shame and fun almost completely beat the black mesh underwear that Bella was wearing at the moment. The only thing Bella could compete with them with was the band-aid underwear that she wore a while ago.

The Insect Empress Vicky Hill was bolder than the other two; she directly used petals and green leaves to cover up. It looked like it was stuck on very unstably and could be lifted up easily. It’s a pity there’s no wind on the streets of Angus City. Bella had been looking forward to a gust of wind which could give her a bit of providential help and blow away the few pieces of petals and leaves on Vicky Hill.

Not just Bella was watching Vicky Hill’s every move, Insect Empress Vicky Hill was also secretly observing Bella’s each and every word and deed. The excuse to go and visit the Starbell Prison was really just an idea which Vicky Hill came up with in an impromptu manner. There was no such agreement between her and the Dark Faust previously.

The Dark Faust impersonated by Bella gave off a much stronger aura than the original one. This made Insect Empress Vicky Hill not dare to act lightly. If the Dark Faust’s strength had not suffered any damage, there’s not much chance of winning if Vicky Hill took her on one-on-one, at most a forty percent chance of winning. She was not willing to take the risk of failure. If the Dark Faust was in a seriously injured state, then Vicky Hill had a ninety-nine percent chance to win.

What surprised Vicky Hill was that the Dark Faust’s intelligence rose inexplicably. When discussing their cooperation previously, Vicky Hill had fooled the Dark Faust round and round. Now this Dark Faust had become cunning and reserved. Bella had cleverly avoided her several times when she tried to worm facts out from her; this made her very helpless.

“Lord Dark Faust, previously outside the city gate, I seem to see you letting Andulisna and Vicky Hill ...”

“Vicky Hill, you definitely looked wrongly. That was a fake injury. The ones who were seriously wounded were Andulisna and Velouria, those two girls who didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. If you don’t believe, we can swap pointers, I will not start off leniently!”

“Ahh, Lord Faust, don’t be so serious, we are reaching Starbell Prison soon. When there is time in the future, I will definitely consult Lord Faust personally.”

The Insect Empress Vicky Hill smiled unnaturally and did not continue on this topic. Bella’s confidence made her doubt her own intuition. Vicky Hill had been suspecting that this Dark Faust was someone in disguise since her way here.

But in terms of strength, appearance and temperament, Bella managed to play it off exactly like the real Dark Faust, the Dark Beauty Demon God, Ford. Vicky Hill couldn’t see any mistake so she had to secretly admit that she must have seen wrongly before this. The Dark Faust was hiding his true self too deeply and almost fooled her. The previously gullible appearance now seemed like it was all a pretense mixed with Vicky Hill’s acting skills.

The two “Best Actor and Actress” walked like confidants on the streets of Angus City and soon came to one of the secret places in Angus City, somewhere near the Starbell Prison. They made nine turns and eighteen bends, crossed multiple streets and traversed four or five blocks in a row. If it wasn’t for Vicky Hill leading the way, Bella would never have found the Starbel Prison in such a short time. She would need at least three days or more of wandering aimlessly in Angus City.

Angus City was not completely being controlled by Insect Empress Vicky Hill. The Abyss Demonic Insect Race she was leading only controlled the Starbell Prison, the main residence of the Angus City’s City Lord, and half of the block at the Angus City Wall. Along the way, Bella observed that the other half of the block had no Abyss Demonic Insect Race activity; it should be controlled by a third-party force.

The other controlling force definitely did not belong to the Dark Faust. Only those Dark Goblin Warriors belonged to Ford and there were not many of them. The main area they controlled was only the Rofsky Camp, which was not far away from the Angus City Gate. The Rofsky Camp had already fallen during the raid by the Abyss Demonic Beings coalition.

The Dark Goblin Warriors under Ford had all died, and like their master, Dark Faust, they had withdrawn from Angus City’s tussle early. From the beginning of the Angus City incident, the people belonging to Dark Faust were not allowed to enter and station inside Angus City. Ford did not insist on placing his own people in Angus City either.

Bella’s first stop in Angus City, the Pamelas Hotel, was not controlled by the Abyss Demonic Insect Race which belonged to Vicky Hill. There were other existing entities controlling it and they were probably patriarchal Dimensional Creators. From a far distance away from the Pamelas Hotel, Bella could feel the aura from the patriarchal Dimensional Creators which made Demon Gods and Evil Gods uneasy.

Starbell Prison was built not far behind the Pamelas Hotel. This was a prison built on an artificial island on the lake. Not far behind the Pamelas Hotel, was the largest lake in Angus City, the Lake Casper. On the artificial Duke Island in the center of Lake Casper, the fifth largest prison in the Aldrich Empire was built, the Starbell Prison.

The surface area of Lake Casper was much larger than the artificial Vignia Lake which was beside Bella’s Olsylvia Academy’s “Pure White Heaven” dormitory building. Its surface area was almost three times as large as the latter. When Bella stayed in the King Suite of the Pamelas Hotel, she happened to catch a corner of the Lake Casper while admiring the view outside the window. At that time, Bella mistakenly thought that it was the sea. She only found out that it was a lake just now.

The artificial island in the center of Lake Casper was called Duke Island. Duke Island was surrounded by the deep lake water and it was indeed an ideal place to build a prison. If one wanted to go to Duke Island, he could only go there by boat. When Bella came to the side of Lake Casper, she felt a strong feeling of depression.

“Lord Dark Faust, you just came and probably are not used to it yet! It is usually set as a forbidden place by the empire here. The human race had sunk many precious Magic Forbidding Stones at the bottom of Lake Casper. Over time, a magic forbidden zone was formed in the entirety of Lake Casper. Although the human race is small and lacks strength, in some aspects, their thinking and ideas are far above Abyss Demonic Beings like us.”

“Well, maybe... This is the nature of the human race, and their thinking in this regard is sometimes far above us. I will admit this point. Vicky Hill, let the boat come!”

Based on Insect Empress Vicky Hill’s explanation, Bella was roughly aware of the horror of Starbell Prison, the fifth prison of the Aldridge Empire. The bottom of Lake Casper had been transformed into a forbidden place for mages because of the infusion of many Magic Absorbing Granules and Magic Forbidding Stones over the years.

No magic could be used in Starbell Prison. Flying magic, space magic, even spiritual magic, summoning magic and all, were useless here. Magical Artifacts failed to be used too. Magic scrolls and magic scepters had no effect at all, as if their power had been hollowed out here.

For magical professions, the Starbell Prison was practically a nightmare. If they couldn’t use any magic, mages were crippled to the point that their strength was weaker than ordinary humans. Coupled with the torture of being unable to meditate, many of the mages who were imprisoned here were driven into madness; most of them were obscured, and no one in the world knew if they were alive or dead.

However, this kind of magic-forbidding place was not very useful against existing entities of Bella’s level. Other than letting Bella feel inexplicably depressed, it couldn’t limit Bella’s strength. The Demon Gods did not rely on magic to work; most of them converted physical attacks and magic-forbidding areas were useless to them.

The same was true for the Abyss Creators like Insect Empress Vicky Hill in front of Bella. She did not use magic attacks mainly. Her flying didn’t rely on magical elements and was not affected by the Starbell Prison’s flying prohibition special effect. Both Bella and Vicky Hill had reservations. The two of them could have flown over, but both chose to cross the lake by boat in order not to expose their true strength.

Lake Casper had been obviously transformed by the Abyss Demonic Insects. The originally clear lake water had been stained with blood and turned red. The entirety of Lake Casper had become a terrible, hellish blood lake. What was even more horrifying was that in Lake Casper, there were many Abyssal Devil-Tooth Fish which had come out of nowhere. These guys who looked like piranhas could create a terrifying atmosphere just by swimming in the lake.

The insect race aura emanating from the Insect Empress Vicky Hill deterred these Abyssal Devil-Tooth Fish from coming. They were unwilling to provoke the creator of the Abyss Demonic Insects and were even more afraid of Bella, the existence of this “genuine” Demon God. She just stood on the ship and it brought great deterrence to those Abyssal Devil-Tooth Fish.

“Vicky Hill, your hobby is really... these children are not yours right! Aren’t your children all insects?”

“Master Faust, this is of course not mine. I.. they are the children I’ve borrowed from Cthulu Saya secretly; she doesn’t know yet!”

According to the sporadic memory left by Bella’s original identity, the Abyss Creator Cthulu Saya seemed to be the one of the top three entities amongst the Abyss Creators. The Jade Bone Demon Velouria couldn’t win her, but just barely tied with her. If she had remembered correctly, the archetype of Cthulu Saya should be the Evil God in the Cthulu mythology in Bella’s previous life.

The Insect Empress Vicky Hill played too turbulently this time. She actually secretly borrowed Cthulu Saya’s men. Did she want to be punished by Cthulu Saya with her tentacles? Sacred Demon God Samantha had seen Cthulu Saya several times before. Although the girl’s humanoid figure was a very soft and cute little loli, when she played with her tentacles, a big number of demon gods and evil gods from the World Destroyer Camp would sigh in inferiority.

Bella vaguely remembered that the Old Great One, Cthulu Saya, was jealous of the Jade Bone Demon Velouria. She was jealous of Velouria and always jumped on the opportunity to chat with the Sacred Demon God Samantha alone. Both of them had fought many times and Sacred Demon God Samantha could not mediate, so she had to entrust her sister, the World Destructor Chief, to come out and calm the whole situation.

The World Destroyer Chief, who was very devoted to her sister the Sacred Demon God Samantha, resolved the dispute using the simplest and most brutal way. She directly took the Old Great One Cthulu Saya and Jade Bone Demon Velouria and beat them on the abyss ground until they were convinced and ready to concede.

When Bella finished recalling her memory, the boat had arrived at the Duke Island pier. When the Insect Empress Vicky Hill mentioned the origin of the Abyssal Devil-Tooth Fish, her expression was not relaxed. She also knew the horror of the Old Great One, Cthulu Saya, and it wouldn’t be fun when Cthulu Saya discovered and came to reason with her. She needed to finish her plan before Cthulu Saya arrived.

On the edge of the Duke Island, there were many giant black toads basking in the sun. They were also one of the high-level Abyss Demonic Beings. Their name was very literary; they were called “Abyss Goliaths”. It sounded almost unrelated to toads, but this guy’s combat power was amazing. The Abyss Goliath came with poisonous venom. Their tongues could extend to tens of meters when stretched and could roll the flying dragons and lion eagles down from the sky and eat them.

The Abyss Goliath had a strong ability to jump and take off. Even though it had the appearance of a toad, it had the same ability to take off as a frog. If the targets in the sky flew too high, they would push off after the first jump and to kill more targets. In many of the Dimensions which the Abyss Demonic Beings had invaded, many of the Dragon Knights were killed under the attack of these guys.

Bella didn’t have to ask Insect Empress Vicky Hill to guess that these Abyss Goliaths belonged to the Old Great One Cthulu Saya. Only the Old Great One Cthulu Saya could drive this kind of existence which had the exploding combat ability to strive in the sea, on land, and in the sky.

The expression of the Insect Empress Vicky Hill changed greatly. She did not borrow these Abyss Goliaths. The Abyss Goliaths not only looked like frogs and toads, but also had their living and predatory habits. Like the frogs and toads, they ate insects. Abyss Goliaths preyed on most of the Abyss Demonic Insects and were almost the nemesis of the Abyss Demonic Insects. No matter how bold Vicky Hill was, she was not so daring to the extent to borrow their natural nemesis.

Several Abyss Goliaths turned their heads and their big terrifying eyes stared at the Insect Empress Vicky Hill with no good intentions. In their eyes, Vicky Hill was only a delicious food. The greedy eyes of the Abyss Goliath scared Vicky Hill. She made a subconscious move to step back directly and grabbed onto Bella’s right hand tightly.

“Vicky Hill.. you are... too tight. You don’t have to hold that tightly. Aren’t those Abyss Demonic Beings borrowed by you too? What’s there to be afraid of? You will be laughed at by the other Abyss Creators if they see you.”

“Master Dark Faust, these are not... I don’t care anymore. Just treat it as fulfilling this willful request of mine! I will repay you back later.”

Vicky Hill hugged onto her too tightly, Bella could not break free and she simply gave up her plan to break free. When she was on the boat, she had quietly changed the Demon God’s Hand back to her normal hand. Even if Vicky Hill hugged onto it tightly, she would not realise that this hand was once the Demon God’s Hand.

Insect Empress Vicky Hill wore very little on her body. From this hug, the amazing elasticity of her bosom was almost pressing entirely onto Bella’s hand and Bella would naturally accept this kind of welfare that came knocking on the door. Strangely, since Vicky Hill grabbed onto Bella’s right hand, those Abyss Goliaths withdrew their sights and pretended to continue basking in the sun.

Only the biggest Abyss Goliath continued to watch the whole process where Bella led Vicky Hill into the Starbell Prison. In its big terrifying eyes was vaguely reflected a petite loli figure.

“Well, Vicky Hill, consider yourself lucky this time. For the sake of this Demon God Sister, I will not argue with you regarding the fact that you borrowed my children this time. By the way, that Demon God Sister looks familiar, who is she exactly?”
