There were many cities all throughout the gloomy land.
The sky above the fiend race's land was infested with large, black-winged creatures.
Fiends roamed around the cities, and cries of despair could be heard all around.
In a city at the edge of the land, two ordinary fiends walked out of the transmission array.
One of the fiends roared. He was not used to the depressing atmosphere that surrounded him.
"Xavier, we shouldn't have come," Merle said, frowning.
"You will have more chances here," the Rule Soul Avatar said lightly.
The Rule Soul Avatar quietly released his Spirit Power. There were many powerful fiends in this city. Most of them had strength comparable to humans at the top level of the Celestial God Realm.
Some even emitted the aura of warriors at the top level of the Superior God Realm.
Seeing the amount of powerful fiends in a city with his own eyes came as a shock to the Rule Soul Avatar, though he had learned about it before.
"Identity token."
As soon as the two of them got out of the transmission array, a fiend soldier came toward them and thrust out his hand.
"We don't have it,"
the Rule Soul Avatar said.
"Arrest them!"
Several fiend soldiers flew over and surrounded the two of them.
"Wait!"
Merle raised his hand. "I am Emperor Yushua. Why don't you know who I am?"
The fiend soldiers stopped in their tracks. "Which city do you come from?"
"The border of the northern land," Merle said. He tried to access the memories of the body he had merged with.
"You idiot. There are emperors everywhere in the low grade races living in the border areas. How dare you announce your name here!
Arrest these fools! Those who do not have the identity token are sentenced to toil away for a century."
In any of the cities of the eight empires, being a fiend emperor like Yushua was considered of lower stature than that of a household pet.
Merle released cold killing intent.
"Calm yourself,"
the Rule Soul Avatar said to him through spiritual sense. He placed his hand on Merle's shoulder.
"What do you mean? We will be arrested if we don't do anything."
"Trust me. Don't make any sudden movements. Do not do anything that will give them a reason to pin us down."
The Rule Soul Avatar used his spiritual sense to sweep through the surrounding area. He surveyed the strength of all of the soldiers around them. At least three of the soldiers had power comparable to those at the top level of the Celestial God Realm.
If Merle dared to attack, he would be killed instantly.
Merle also sensed this. He took a deep breath and suppressed his killing intent.
"Damn it!" Merle cursed in a low voice.
"Take them away!"
Several fiend soldiers took them away, and the two men did not resist.
They were taken into a dark water prison.
The place stank. The dark, murky water came up to their knees and smelled of death and decay. No one knew what lay beneath the surface of the water that made it so dirty and sticky.
"Xavier, look at what you've done!"
Merle was upset.
The Rule Soul Avatar ignored him and released his Spirit Power to cover the whole prison. There were hundreds of fiends imprisoned there, some of whom were incredibly powerful.
"This is your chance," the Rule Soul Avatar said.
Merle raised his eyebrows. He stopped complaining and used his fiendish sense to probe the area.
He suddenly felt better after probing. There were several fiends that were suitable for him to merge with.
"Go and kill one for me," Merle said.
"No need. They are coming to us."
They heard the sound of splashing water and soon, they were surrounded by hundreds of fiends.
