Scorched earth, swirling with demonic energy.

Dou Mo (Fighting Demon) descends.

The Demon Sovereign stands solemn.

The meeting of the two demons stirs heaven and earth, causing shocking changes.

"The time has come…" After a moment of silent confrontation between the two demonic figures, the Demon Sovereign finally spoke, "The victor and the vanquished… it's time to see a clear result."

"Victor? Vanquished?" Dou Mo's voice sounded ethereal and ancient, sending chills down one's spine, "A clear result?"

He repeated the two keywords from the other's statement, adding a questioning tone.

"'Divinity' depends on power," the Demon Sovereign continued, "Between you and I, there is only one battle… to determine who is the god of this Chaos Scorched Earth."

"Oh…" Dou Mo responded, pausing for two seconds before adding, "You're blocking my path for something this boring?"

"Boring?" The Demon Sovereign said coldly, "Hmph… are you trying to run away?"

"No, I just think you're pathetic," Dou Mo replied.

"What did you say?" This was the first time in his life that the Demon Sovereign had heard someone evaluate him this way.

"If you want to be the 'God of the Chaos Scorched Earth,' then go ahead," Dou Mo said, ignoring the Demon Sovereign's question and continuing on his own, "I… was never a god. I am a demon, the strongest demon in this space-time." As he spoke, he started walking forward again.

"I have no interest in doing that sort of king-of-the-mountain thing; that's what false gods and humans are keen on," Dou Mo said, passing the Demon Sovereign, "Nor do I need to prove my status or power by fighting someone like you, a small demon from the Second Epoch…"

The Demon Sovereign listened to these grating words, watching helplessly as the other brushed past him.

Throughout the whole process, the Demon Sovereign had wanted to attack Dou Mo numerous times, but was forced back by an invisible pressure, unable to move.

"Between you and I, who is stronger and who is weaker, you already know in your heart," Dou Mo continued walking without looking back, "If you truly regarded yourself as a god, in these long years… how could you have allowed three other beings in the same space-time to call themselves gods, each occupying their own territory…" He paused, "In other words… since you have already acknowledged three beings equal to you, what position do you have now to compete with me?"

Dou Mo's words were powerful and resounding.

The Demon Sovereign heard this and was left speechless.

At this moment, the Demon Sovereign finally understood… that he was indeed pathetic. His realm was far too distant from Dou Mo's.

From the very beginning, Dou Mo had placed himself in the "strongest" position, and he would only act against those he acknowledged and who had the ability to pose a threat to him.

As for so-called "gods" like the Four Pillar Gods… who restrain each other, fighting for territory and benefits in coexistence, Dou Mo didn't even think they were worth defeating, because they themselves didn't believe they were the "strongest."

"Wait!" After a few breaths, the Demon Sovereign finally spoke again, "That's right, I don't have the courage to proactively start a war with the other three gods, because I know very well… that would be suicidal." He turned around, looking at Dou Mo's back and questioning, "But… can you do what I can't? Do you have a way to fight against the Master of Time, the Tribunal of Truth, and the Nether Underworld King alone? If not, then your arrogance… is just haughty foolishness."

"I see…" At this moment, Dou Mo… stopped, and said, "You're not just pathetic… you're also ignorant."

As the words fell, demonic energy stirred.

Dou Mo's body didn't make any movements, but his attack had already been launched.

Vast demonic energy, surging and roaring, power to shock the heavens, ability to move the earth.

The move appeared in an instant, and ended in a breath.

By the time the Demon Sovereign came back to his senses, half of his torso… had disappeared.

Faced with Dou Mo's attack… let alone respond, the Demon Sovereign hadn't even reacted.

"There are three reasons you're still alive," Dou Mo said, looking down at the Demon Sovereign who had fallen to the ground, "One, I haven't found my 'eyes' yet, and I'm not in good condition; two, you are also a demon, and have some resistance to demonic energy; three, and this is the most important… I, showed mercy."

The Demon Sovereign really couldn't move this time, but he could still speak, "What… are you planning to humiliate me before killing me?"

"I don't have that kind of leisure," Dou Mo replied, "I spared your life to answer the question you asked earlier…" He continued, "Earlier, you asked me what way I had to fight against those three little gods. I can tell you now… I fight them like this."

Having said that, Dou Mo turned around and left, not even glancing at the Demon Sovereign again.

…………

At the same moment, the Scrapped Company team, who were watching from afar, were undoubtedly shocked.

"Holy crap…" Bi Laoshi exclaimed, "Am I seeing things? That weird black shadow just insta-killed the Demon Sovereign?"

"That 'weird black shadow' you're talking about should be the legendary 'Dou Mo'," Honghu replied.

"What's that?" Bi Laoshi asked again.

Not only Bi Laoshi, but the other three members of the team also looked at Honghu with questioning eyes.

Seeing this, Honghu pushed up his glasses and explained, "I once heard the Master of Time say… in a period called the 'Ancient Epoch,' there were two strongest beings in Thriller Paradise's main universe, one was 'Du Shen (Oversight God),' and the other was 'Dou Mo'." He gestured with his eyes towards the black shadow in the distance, "One day, a war between gods and demons broke out. The two fought to the point where the sky darkened and the earth shook. In the end… Dou Mo was sealed in a place called the 'Door of Emptiness,' and Du Shen was also severely injured, and vanished along with the entire epoch in a world-destroying crisis."

"So that means…" Juan Menghai continued, "The one in front of us… is a super-strong Boss who recently broke out of his seal?"

"I don't know when or how he escaped from the Door of Emptiness," Honghu said, "But he's definitely 'strong'."

"To be able to defeat the Demon Sovereign in an instant, he certainly deserves the title of 'strongest'," Uncle Fei Chai said at this time, "But… it feels a bit too outrageous, doesn't it? Is this 'Twilight of the Gods' or 'Late Night of the Gods'? If each of the Four Pillar Gods encounters him… wouldn't they be taken down one by one, and all four be finished off?"

"Whatever about that…" Honghu continued, "You've all seen his strength. This level of combat power clearly exceeds the scope that strategies can interfere with. If he really wants to take them down 'one by one,' that's his freedom… Anyway, I don't intend to be hit by him." As he spoke, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed towards the Demon Sovereign in the distance, "I think… we should focus our attention on that one now."
