At this moment, an unimaginable event was unfolding above.
The event began with a pig-headed demon killing his own comrade.
The pig-headed demons were a race within the demon clan known for their immense brute strength. They were physically strong, highly resistant to attacks, had small appetites, and were easy to sustain. They also had relatively long lifespans. However, their only flaw was their difficulty in reproducing.
The total number of pig-headed demons was just over a hundred, and they were all familiar with each other.
But just now, when all the demons were intimidated by Green's aura, one pig-headed demon took advantage of the distraction and quietly pulled out a sharp dagger, then silently killed a fellow clansman.
It wasn't until Green had restrained his aura and the demons felt as if they were reborn that they noticed the dozens of pig-headed demon corpses beside them, and the number was still increasing.
"Pick! What the hell are you doing? Why did you harm our kin?!"
A pig-headed demon shouted angrily at Pick, who held a weapon in his hand. His voice was filled with despair.
But Pick, the pig-headed demon, didn't waste any words. He charged directly at the demon in front of him, raised his hand, and with ease, killed his fellow pig-headed demon.
Upon discovering this, the surrounding demons scattered in panic.
After all, most demons were no match for the pig-headed demons in terms of raw strength. Moreover, the pig-headed demons were currently the servants of the Demon King, making their power beyond the reach of ordinary demons.
The only race that could contend with the pig-headed demons was the bull-headed demons.
The bull-headed demons were also a rare race, possessing sturdy bodies that were no less impressive than the pig-headed demons'.
However, they had never witnessed a race killing each other, especially the kin in the same Demon King's lineage. Therefore, the bull-headed demons were momentarily at a loss and didn't react to stop the violence.
Or perhaps, they were not willing to intervene.
The relationship between the bull-headed demons and the pig-headed demons was never harmonious, even after becoming subordinates of the Demon King.
Just then, Green's powerful aura erupted again from the side, but soon Clitz also unleashed his presence and hurriedly escaped to the basement, with Green following closely behind.
Although the aura of the two frightened Pick to the core, his inner desire was even stronger.
He viciously stabbed his own legs with a knife without any hesitation. Blood poured out from the wound, and then he swiftly launched a slaughter against the remaining kin who weren't dead yet.
Not long after, there were only two pig-headed demons left.
One was Pick, and the other was an unknown pig-headed demon.
The special dagger in Pick's hand was soaked in blood, and Pick himself was exhausted. However, compared to the other pig-headed demons, Pick was prepared for this day, and with the assistance of Green's intimidating aura, he found it easier to carry out his plan.
"Next, all I need to do is kill you, and I will succeed."
Pick took a few breaths, but with trembling steps, he moved towards the last remaining kin. In reality, Pick didn't have much energy left to sustain his actions, but the determination in his heart allowed him to overpower his opponent.
The rest of the pig-headed demons were too frightened by the auras of Green and Clitz to move. After experiencing this inexplicable event, their hearts had already completely shattered.
The pig-headed demon looked at the approaching Picke, took out his weapon, and without hesitation, stabbed himself in the heart, causing blood to spurt out.
He couldn't bear the blow and chose to commit suicide.
After the pig-headed demon's death, Picke finally relaxed, and now he gazed at the surrounding demons with a desire for dominance in his eyes.
Suddenly, a black light emanated from Picke's wounds, and at the same time, an extremely powerful energy surged from within him, continuously pouring out, causing even the ground to tremble at that moment.
Only then did Saro Uth and Gothner notice the abnormality on the pig-headed demon's side.
Picke's aura grew stronger and stronger, and when this aura reached a certain level, it underwent a qualitative change, giving the demons a completely different feeling.
The demons gradually felt the pressure of a demon king from Picke.
When they realized this, the demons were filled with confusion and shock, while Saro Uth and Gothner had a cold expression. They immediately made a judgment on this phenomenon.
"It seems that this day will surely be forever recorded in the history of the demon realm."
Saro Uth looked in the direction of the demon king's aura that came from a distance, while Gothner furrowed his brow but didn't say anything.
"Has that demon evolved into a demon king?"
Elsa looked at Picke, the pig-headed demon whose aura was gradually strengthening, her face filled with shock. Although it felt different from when she faced Green before, this time she could truly feel the suppression of the demon king on ordinary demons from Picke.
Picke's evolution was quickly completed. In just a few seconds, he experienced the sensation he had long dreamed of.
A surging energy filled his entire body, making him feel like he had endless power, and even his appearance underwent significant changes.
Before, Picke was covered in fat, although there were muscles underneath, but excessive body fat made him look no different from an ordinary pig-headed demon, just particularly dumb.
But after evolving into a demon king, the body fat on Picke greatly decreased. Apart from his head that still had the appearance of a pig-headed demon, his entire body no longer had the bulky appearance of a pig-headed demon, and his muscle lines became remarkably distinct.
The change in appearance, as well as the feeling of energy filling his body, made him realize that he had succeeded.
He had successfully evolved into a demon king.
After confirming this fact, Picke floated in the air and laughed loudly. As a demon king, he couldn't help but feel how weak those ordinary demons were, and even the pressure he had sensed from Saro Uth and the other four demon kings had disappeared.
Moreover, he could clearly see how much power Clitz possessed.
After sensing Clitz's energy, Picke sneered disdainfully.
"I never expected that I, Picke, wasted so much time on a weakling demon king. But from today, no, from now on, the entire demon realm will enter a new era under my leadership! Hahahaha!!!"
Seeing Picke's stance and feeling the aura emanating from him, the demons were all filled with shock and confusion.
Why would a pig-headed demon emit a demon king-like aura?
Seemingly aware of the confusion among these ordinary demons, a sense of superiority surged in Picke's heart.
"You fools still don't know? In addition to the natural-born ones, there are also evolved demons. And after researching the writings of my ancestors, I have successfully discovered the method to evolve into a demon king, which is... to kill all members of the same race! Leave no one alive!"
Pick openly revealed his long-hidden secret without any reservation, immediately causing an uproar.
Saro Uth also felt something was wrong, and it turned out to be true.
After Pick made this statement, the demons of the same race looked at each other, their eyes filled with a sense of vigilance towards their enemies, especially those from rare races. After hearing Pick's account, they even regarded their own kind as enemies. Although they didn't directly engage in a fight, they immediately distanced themselves.
"Don't waste your effort. Do you think I will give you a chance to become demon kings?"
Pick had already anticipated this outcome, immediately shouting in the sky, and then releasing all of his energy. Under this energy, the ground began to tremble, leaving Saro Uth amazed.
"This pig demon... is really powerful!"
But unlike Saro Uth, who was astonished in place, Gothner calmly looked at the domineering Pick with an icy expression, showing no emotions.
However, Gothner indeed had thoughts, thinking about the ways to cook pig meat while watching Pick in the sky...
Completely unaware that Gothner already saw him as food, Pick indulged himself in the tremendous power.
Compared to his previous self, this power was multiple times stronger. Even seeing the trembling demons below gave him pleasure, as if he had truly become a ruler.
"Don't worry, if you obediently submit to me, I won't randomly kill innocents. But... if I find any race engaging in self-massacre, I will make their death gruesome!"
After saying this, Pick couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The demons who had been suspicious of each other gradually withdrew their cautious gazes. After all, they were not a race that enjoyed killing their own kind, especially under Pick’s threat.
Moreover, the minority races within the demon tribe were extremely few. While it might be possible to slaughter their own kind under Pick's watchful eyes, even if they wanted to, it would be impossible to do so before being discovered.
At this moment, another violent tremor came from beneath the castle, and a figure burst through the ground and flew into the sky.
Upon closer inspection, Pick discovered that the figure ascending rapidly was his former leader, the demon king Clitz.
"Clitz, from today onwards, I will take over your power!"
Pick stretched out his hands and condensed a dark blue energy like a water sphere between his palms. However, before this energy could fully gather, another figure rose from below once again. At the same time, an overwhelming presence that surpassed everyone present enveloped the entire demon realm. Even the farthest reaches of the demon realm were affected by this aura.
All the demons who felt this presence couldn't help but tremble.
Pick also froze. He could fully determine who emitted this presence, but when he became the demon king earlier, this aura did not appear, or perhaps it had concealed itself.
However, after this presence fully erupted, Clitz finally realized how terrifying the power of the person who confronted him earlier truly was.
And this person, without a doubt, is Green.
Not only that, but when Pick forcefully regained his senses from fear, he found that Green had already appeared in front of him, and was staring at him with an extremely cold gaze.
Like thorns, the piercing light directly facing Pick, causing his recently obtained immense power to instantly plummet into an even colder abyss than before.
"Monster!!!!"
