Chapter 1033: Lord of Ashes
“When I was still a demon lord, Carter Gustavo was already a powerful demon king, his reputation echoing across many layers of Hell. His strength and battle records have inspired many Hell demons.
I heard that this demon king once fought against the younger brother of the Abyssal Dragon King. In the end, he lost—but only by a narrow margin,” Thorstein said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, the Spider Queen smiled and said, “That very same Carter Gustavo has now ascended to an overlord.”
Her words instantly silenced the noises and whispers that filled the Bloodwar Hall.
The wrinkly cunning demon sighed deeply and remarked, “So, another overlord has finally risen from our clan...”
His words reflected the common sentiment of the demons present.
A demon overlord was also known as a “demon great monarch”.
Hell had once been home to several great monarchs.
“When the Radiant Celestials breached the level of Hell I was guarding, the Abyssal Gut was severed. Retreating to the lower depths became impossible, so I had no choice but to lead my clan in a desperate escape.
“At the time, I was merely a Rank Five demon. Years of relentless battles with Radiant Celestials and leading my kin through the Astral Realm have pushed me beyond my limits again and again. In just tens of thousands of years, I ascended to peak Rank Six and eventually made my way to this world.
“The overlord realm... it is unlikely I will ever reach it. But knowing that Carter Gustavo, the great demon king, has ascended to an overlord means that our clan still has hope of rising once more!”
