According to Heath's notes, the Kingdom of Allstars acts as a cage that will eventually trap the Angel, but there's a 'digestion' process during which the Dazzling Star Magic Master assimilates the Angel, unable to immediately seize the ruby angel's authority.

As for why other Divine Lords allow the Ruby Mountain to be sealed, watching as the Dazzling Star Magic Master captures the Angel, rather than saying they 'don't know' or 'cannot intervene', Ash is more inclined to believe that hunting angels involves the common interests of the Divine Lords, making the Dazzling Star Magic Master's progress so smooth under their tacit approval.

But as the Angel rots within this pot of the Kingdom of Allstars, the conflicts among the Divine Lords immediately become apparent—why shouldn't I be the one to consume the already-prepared meal?

For thousands of years, we let you create a cage to imprison the Angels, shouldn't you now repay this favor?

Besides the norms of human affection, the Void Realm also harbors battles!

In short, this is actually a classic case of black against black.

Hence, the Divine Lords secretly interfere in the Kingdom of Allstars, not daring to break the Mysterious Chains or the Unison Chain, as breaking these chains would cause the Angel to escape, so they left many "weapons" in the Kingdom of Allstars.

The significance of these "weapons" is that they can become the mage's helpers, allowing mages to ignore the chain's restrictions and hunt the angels before the Dazzling Star Magic Master.

Ash previously thought that because the ultimate goal was to hunt angels, these "weapons" were called demons, forming a literary echo. If Ash guessed right, many legendary mages have already infiltrated the Kingdom of Allstars, both searching for the angel's tracks and seeking the demon's aid.

What he didn't realize was that demons meant literally.

Looking at the golden-haired girl with ram horns sitting on the ground, terrified, the cult leader touched his collar, and the icy texture from his fingertips allowed him to clearly sense the power contained within it:

Domination!

Ash felt that 99% of his soul was invaded by the demon, with just one command from the demon being able to dictate Ash's fate!

But because of the near-complete soul connection, the demon also copied his magic power and Technique Spirit, possibly even sharing the magic realm.

Just now, when Ash triggered the sword servant phantom, the demon also triggered her sword servant phantom, almost decapitating Vishi, indicating that the demon even replicated Ash's Miracle!

However, the demon's strongest ability isn't copying the mage's combat power, but breaking the chain restrictions—even in public, she can recklessly use magic miracles without triggering the Mysterious Chains, causing the Technique Spirit and magic power to be locked and evaporated!

In the Kingdom of Allstars, a mage without a demon is like a prisoner dancing in chains, while with a demon, the mage can act wantonly like a prison guard!

Ash never considered seeking out a demon, first because he had no clues regarding a demon, and secondly, because a demon is evidently a living being and should be respected and recruited.

He doesn't have much experience interacting with normal people and doesn't dare to recruit someone.

Moreover, Heath didn't mention that to harness the demon's power, one must become a servant of the demon. Although Ash doesn't mind working, he still has a legendary mage's dignity, and no matter how he looks at it, it feels uncomfortable.

Wearing a collar is too strange, it's not like being in bed.

Plus, if the demon turns out to be a jerk, wouldn't it be like reliving that pre-journey nightmare?

However…

"Demon?"

Filly shook her head foolishly: "I'm not a demon, I'm Filly Lena, I'm a student here."

"Filly, is it?"

The sword-colored magic power clashed and reverberated in the soul, with stray starlight congregating upon Ash like a gauzy garment on his body. He stood before Filly, resembling a radiant star fallen to earth.

"I'm sorry to meet you in this manner, but you've already been drawn into a mysterious event, and from now, you will face endless crises and battles. I am willing to be your sword and shield, but in return…"

A massive flame trident suddenly burst out, like a train crashing toward Ash from behind!

Filly exclaimed: "Behind you—"

"…can you become my demon?"

Clang! Clang! Clang!

In a split second, dozens of explosive sounds resounded, and the flames and sword light clashed and boomed within the classroom. Ash stood his ground against Vishi's successive assaults, coolly saying: "And yet you don't flee?"

"Why should I flee?" Vishi replied with a cold smile curling at her lips, "Just because I've offended a demon, I should obediently retreat, granting you and the demon a chance to grow?"

"You should have read the 'Ghost Manual,' right?"

Ash's face darkened; he didn't wish to have a life-and-death struggle with Vishi now.

Filly clearly was no seasoned veteran, unable to partake in combat at their level, hence the sweetness of battle didn't lean Ash's way.

Since Vishi had already thoroughly offended Filly, it only made sense to later join forces with the television station and Filly to outmaneuver Vishi, giving this Ghost Prophet a taste of impotent rage before decapitating her, which is the safest and most satisfying strategy.

Yet, Vishi, a thousand-year-old scoundrel, didn't panic with the demon's appearance; instead, her rationality was terrifying—in any case, she already thoroughly provoked, so she must eliminate threats completely!

She has always been the type of earthly devil who delights in stifling genius early, with the Ghost Manual documenting over a hundred budding geniuses she pre-emptively assassinated, who might have become Holy Domain legends. Plucking the garden's finest blooms prematurely is nearly instinctual for her, possibly even a perverse pleasure!
