The bustling city center of Angus City had been turned into a city of death. The streets were filled with people under the control of spiritual insects, just like a group of zombies. These walking dead were no different from zombies, except they didn’t bite anyone. Since it had been a week since the fall, the streets were filthy with trash strewn everywhere. Bella didn’t even want to take a second look at this sight.

Red blood stained the outer walls of the buildings along the street. It seemed like none of the fleeing townspeople were able to make it out safely from the look of things. Bella carried the wounded Dark Faust on her back and searched for a temporary resting place in Angus City. She had only been to Angus City once, so she did not know the architectural layout of the city well. The only landmark building she knew of was the Pamelas Hotel.

Their destination this time was Starbell Prison. As the only place in this city where the prisoners were held, it was considered a confidential location on the map, so it was difficult to find the exact location. Apart from this place, Angus City’s treasures were all concentrated around the location of the city lord’s house, which Bella would not be visiting.

The current city lord of Angus was a temporarily appointed official by the Aldridge Empire. Neither a nobleman nor a man like Kurus City’s Earl Kirk the Sixth who had been running the city for generations, there must not have been much profit that he could have gained.

Besides the living puppets, the streets of Angus were lined with all sorts of Abyss Demonic Insects that Bella couldn’t see from her monoculars earlier. After all, this was the new lair of the Abyss Demonic Insect Race, and the levels of the Abyss Demonic Insects were also significantly higher. They were no longer the Abyss Crypt Insects that looked like super-sized cockroaches but rather Abyss Demonic One-Horned Beetles that were akin to a super-sized long-horned beetle.

The Abyss Demonic One-Horned Beetles were not much different in appearance to long-horned beetles. The two horns on their heads were their signature, and eighty-percent of the reason they were called one-horned beetles was to fool their opponents. The force of their two mandibles was intense, and they could practically match that of the Abyss Bloodthirsty Mantises’ pincers.

Instead of fighting them head-on, she followed her memories while carrying Dark Faust on her back to find a high-class clothing store, hoping to find a change of clothes for Dark Faust. It wasn’t like she could keep Dark Faust in such an alluring state! But it bothered Bella a little that she never found any shops selling food along the way.

Bakeries, patisseries, restaurants, shops, they were all empty as if they had been looted. Not even the drinks were left. The enemies had taken away everything that could be consumed. She really couldn’t understand it. The Abyss Demonic Insect Race ate food that was different from humans, so she had no idea why they had to snatch away their food.

The Abyss Demonic Insects did not seem to be alerted by Bella and Dark Faust’s appearance. These demonic insects had terrible eyesight, and they mostly relied on their sense of smell to catch any living human left, and that was how they pinpointed their prey’s location. Though both Bella and Dark Faust appeared to be humans, they were essentially surrogates and did not have the smell of the Human Race. That was why the Abyss Demonic One-Horned Beetles did not find trouble with them.

Most of the clothes in the clothing store were torn. It took a lot of time for Bella just to find the largest clothing store in this area of Angus City, and this place had long been cleared of humans. There was nothing but a room full of clothes fluttering when Bella came in. There was nothing else, the magic lanterns in the store had been destroyed, causing the store to be unusually dim.

“Faust, don’t you have a lot of surrogates?”

“Bella, just call me Ford. You can do away with that fake name. The place where I stowed away my surrogates is now under the control of Vicky Hill’s Abyss Demonic Insect Race. If I were to change my surrogate in this state, I’d definitely be killed.”

Ford’s half-damaged body had already been recovered. Bella placed her on a board in the fitting room and carefully helped her remove the black dress which had been torn beyond recognition. The overly exhausted Ford was unwilling to move much, so Bella could easily take her clothes off.

Aside from the Demon God Angel and the Great Evil God Mia, this was the first time Bella stripped away the clothes belonging to someone at the ranking of Demon God. She never had the chance to carry out her evil plans in the past on either the Dark Demon God Alice nor Blood Demon God Claire. But now, she succeeded on Ford, and there was inevitably a small sense of excitement in her heart because of it.

Like the rest of the World Destructor Demon Gods, Ford’s inside was also a vacuum space. Even though she did not undergo the Demon God transformation, as one who yearned for it, Ford had also taken the attire of the World Destructor Demon Gods and Evil Gods as reference. Ford’s long, black hair reached down to her waist, and her beautiful eyes were a dark red. That is where she differed from a legitimate World Destructor Demon God and Evil God. World Destructor Demon Gods and Evil Gods all had heterochromatic eyes, but Ford did not.

Of course, there was no need to mention Ford’s body. If a Demon God were not the loli type, they were usually the slender elder sister type. For the breasts, they were slightly bigger than Bella’s substitute body, Princess Felia. Their cup sizes were comparable to Bella’s true body, Sacred Demon God Samantha.

The handsome appearance of Ford was no longer present, leaving behind a cold air. This ‘guy’ was an existence at the level of Demon God, and his face value was not inferior to that of your usual World Destructor Demon God and Evil God. Previously, she was able to fool her way through most of her existence as a handsome young man, which was all due to the “False Sunshine” transmogrification artifact she had originally worn around her neck.

Unfortunately, the transmogrification artifact, “False Sunshine,” turned into dust after suffering the full force of the extremely large dark blue beam fired by Mechanical Empress Andulisna’s along with half of her body. Without the masking of the transmogrification artifact, Ford could not conceal her true appearance as a girl, allowing Bella to fully appreciate it.

“Bella, what are you looking at? These are all human clothes. It’s not like they’re the right size for me...Huh? You know how to make clothes?”

“Of course. I can just modify it on the spot. Right, now don’t move while I take your measure.”

Ford allowed Bella to measure her whole body with the measuring tape very cooperatively. She was unaware that Bella had taken this opportunity to grope her body, but Bella had also controlled herself, squeezing her as light as possible so that Ford would not notice anything.

The body of a Demon God had a different, slightly cool touch. Bella resisted the urge to pinch the two sensitive points on Ford’s chest when her hands swept over the twin peaks. It would feel great to pinch them, but it would not be easy to handle Ford if she were to get violent. Even if Ford’s power could not be ranked among the top ten in the World Destructor camp, she would have no problems ranking among the top twenty.

Many old clothes were left behind in this high-class clothing store. Bella could easily put together two new sets of black clothes by dismantling the other high-class outfits and putting them back together. These two clothing sets were modified based on Alessandra Academy’s black military uniforms with a black cape and raised collar, making the style remain similar to Ford’s original clothes.

“Wait, Bella... I didn’t have clothes like this before, did I? Don’t put strange things on it!”

“What’s the problem with it? I’m wearing it too, so put it on!”

As a result of Bella’s interest, she forcefully changed Ford into the black mesh stockings and lingerie she had come up with on the spot, and seeing that Bella herself had also put it on, Ford didn’t know how to counter her for the moment. By the time she came back to her senses, she had already been changed into the black mesh stockings and lingerie.

This style of stockings and lingerie were practically designed for certain kinds of amorous interests. After changing, Bella quietly slipped a special necklace around Ford’s neck. This necklace had a hidden function, and as long as Ford wasn’t deliberately paying attention to it, then she wouldn’t notice it.

Just when Bella thought that their cozy time together would last just a while longer, a large number of Abyss Demonic Insects approached the clothing store. Knowledge of Dark Faust’s return to Angus City had been known by the Abyss Creator, Insect Empress Vicky Hill. She was going to take out this false Demon God while Dark Faust was still recovering, thus seizing her power.

“It seems like Vicky Hill has no plans to let me go. Sigh, I wouldn’t have cooperated with her if I’d known this would happen. I would’ve gone with another Abyss Creator. Bella, you... this is... the book that connects to the Demon God’s passage. How did you get it?”

“Didn’t I tell you, Ford? I know the Blood Demon God Claire and the Dark Demon God Alice! Go, I know some makeup skills, so I can just pretend to be you and muddle through. Just leave the rest to me.”

Bella always carried the Demon God notebook given to her by the Blood Demon God Claire and Dark Demon God Alice so she could contact them. Pages of this notebook could be torn down to act as a magic medium to open the passage to those Demon Gods.

Bella had already torn off a page for Ford, and seeing that there was no way to refuse her, Ford could only accept Bella’s kindness. She was silent for a moment before handing Bella a very small cylindrical glass box and a black energy glove. These objects were taken out of her own dark space.

“Bella, I can’t just take your things. This box is called a Corpse Stasher’s Gift. I use this box to preserve my substitute bodies, but unfortunately, it’s empty now. If the holder dies, then the corpse will automatically be put inside. When I return, I’ll definitely find a way to resurrect you.”

“As for this dark glove, this is where my power is. The profound knowledge of my dark sword art is all inside. You can mimic my black energy blade with it. That way, you should be able to fool Vicky Hill’s senses. Don’t refuse it. If you do, I will not accept your gift.”

Dark Faust’s plan was to find a way to evacuate first, then return to find Bella after she recovered her energy. If Bella were unlucky enough to be killed, the “Corpse Stasher’s Gift” would automatically keep her corpse inside before disappearing from this world. Then, Ford would do whatever she could to bring Bella back to life.

“Bella, you have to stay alive. I’m still waiting for you to return to take you as my disciple!”

“But I didn’t agree to this, Ford! This is unfair, I refuse!”

“You’ve already received my inheritance, so the initiation ceremony is considered complete. You better not...”

In a burst of light, Dark Faust was collected into the Demon God Passage by the piece of paper torn from the Demon God’s notebook. By the time she returned to her senses, she had already come out on the other end to the private and exclusive domain of the Dark Demon God Alice, Dark Styx.

“Bella, you naughty Demon King, you’re finally willing to beg. You... you’re Dark Ford?”

“Dark Demon God Alice. What is your relationship with Bella?”

“She is my... wait, why do I have to answer you? Forget it. Seeing as you’re injured, I won’t fight you. Come with me. Big Sister is out in that dimensional other world and won’t be back for now. If she were to know I drove you away from here, she’d definitely scold me!”

Even though Dark Demon God’s speech was unforgiving, she still graciously took Ford in to clean her wounds as someone no less than qualified as a Demon God. The full force of Mechanical Empress Andulisna was no joke. Even though Ford’s body may seem to be largely recovered, the insides had long become unstable from the internal injuries. Alice could feel it.

“I’m fine. Can you help me save Bella? Please. I won’t bother you again in the future...”

“What? You don’t have to worry. That rogue Demon King Bella is a cunning one. Even though Insect Empress Vicky Hill is strong, she can not best her in scheming!”

Dark Demon God Alice had no idea where her confidence came from to this date. Still, she believed that Bella, a Demon King level existence could easily play Insect Empress Vicky Hill, an Abyss Demonic King’s existence like a fiddle, but this must be a woman’s intuition! But she had also seen the changes in Dark Ford. This pretender, who had constantly been looking for trouble with the World Destructor camp in the past and caused headaches for many Demon God and Evil Gods, seemed to be less annoying now.

It was not that the World Destructor camp was full and could not accept someone like Dark Ford who had already reached the strength of a Demon God, it was mainly because Dark Ford did not come from the Abyss. She was an outsider to the World Destructors. No Demon God was willing to go on a field trip with her to check her character. Now, it might be possible for them to revisit Dark Ford’s willingness to join.

“Ford, you don’t have to rush. Big Sister won’t be around these few days, but I can reintroduce you to the Council of the Ten World Destructors. Now that the chief, third, fourth, and sixth are out, I’m still in a relatively good relationship with the second. You just might pass the preliminary review for the audit.”

“But, Bella...”

“No more buts, that is my proposal. Ford, do you really take this place for a public toilet?! You think you can just come and go as you wish?”

Outside a large clothing store in the city center of Angus City, Insect Empress Vicky Hill led a large group of elites from the Abyss Demonic Insect Race to surround the store. She wanted to assassinate Dark Faust and then suck her energy to strengthen herself, giving her a chance to overtake the other Abyss Creators.

Insect Empress Vicky Hill did not dare to take action against official members of the World Destructor Camp. That would cause her to be besieged by the entire World Destructor Camp. But Dark Faust wasn’t a member of the World Destructor Camp, and so killing her wouldn’t be so troublesome. The relationship between Vicky Hill and Dark Faust was supposed to be that of mutual exploitation, so it wasn’t surprising for mutual betrayal to happen under situations where their strengths were not equal.

A moment later, a beautiful maiden with long black hair walked leisurely out of the clothing store. Two Abyss Bloodthirsty Mantises that had been waiting by the door immediately attacked, not hesitating to wield their pincers and snapping their prey’s neck.

The dark energy sword appeared in the black-haired beauty’s left hand, and her body spun as if it were dancing. The two unlucky Abyss Bloodthirsty Mantises were cut down in a single strike. After the black-haired beauty left, their heads fell to the floor, and their bodies split open in a bloody mist.

This black-haired beauty was Bella’s original identity, Sacred Demon God Samantha. Samantha’s hair just happened to be black, just like Dark Ford. And, after a quick makeup, Bella now resembled Dark Ford’s temperament quite a lot. Dark Ford did not use a set body when she was out and about. More often than not, she used a substitute body. Insect Empress Vicky Hill had never seen Ford’s true form either, so she couldn’t see past Bella’s disguise at this moment and mistook her for the real Dark Faust.

Bella’s substitute body, Princess Felia’s body, had already been stashed into the “Corpse Stasher’s Gift.” She now wore a black eyepatch over her face with a horrifying skull image depicted on top, this concealed the golden pupil of her heterochromatic eyes, leaving behind only the one in scarlet.

The heterochromatic eyes were the symbol of an official Demon God and Evil God from the World Destructor Camp. Insect Empress Vicky Hill wouldn’t know this fact to the point where it had to be concealed. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to fool her. Bella’s right hand had already transformed into the Demon God’s Hand. Though, she purposefully hid in under the specially widened sleeve and kept only the black energy sword in her left hand in view.

Bella who now possessed both Dark Faust’s black reinforced parts that she inherited from her as well as the “Blade of Darkness” and with the addition of the Sacred Demon God Samantha’s Demon God’s Hand, it was now possible for her to kill Insect Empress Vicky Hill, but she held back. Vicky Hill’s appearance wasn’t that ugly. She was a far cry from the horrifyingly shaped insect empress from the games Bella used to play in the past. To Bella’s surprise, the original murderous aura that had converged had also lessened invisibly.

“Lord Dark Faust, you... You’re fine. I was worried sick. As soon as I got the news of your return, I immediately rushed over with my men. Please don’t look at me with such fierce eyes, it scares me!”

“Hmph. Empress Vicky Hill, I think you’ve been dying to see something happen to me! How would you explain these two mantises...”

“Those two mantises are... It must be that guy’s plot. He thinks he can use it to put distance between me and Lord Faust’s intimate friendship. That’s right, I thought we agreed to visit Starbell Prison to make our rounds! Come, let us go. I will explain on the way.”
