CHAPTER 560: CHAPTER 551: ABYSS! YOUR MASTER HAS RETURNED!

Under the Pope’s command, the Bright Church quickly took action. The people of the Mortal World were unaware that within another power domain of the Dark World, intense undercurrents were surging.

A conspiracy sweeping across the globe was unfolding...

When three red-robed Archbishops led thirty Church Knights, rushing towards Paris in a fiery hurry.

Bai Yan had already left the scene, leading Jinx and Domit back, then taking An Yan and the group of girls, along with Caine and the Thirteen Disciples, hurried back to Demon Island.

Bai Yan was well aware that although his actions were dominant and aggressive, they would provoke a strong counterattack from the Bright Church. Bai Yan did not wish to confront the Bright Church directly while the situation was still unclear.

Preserving strength and secretly arranging the plot was the code of conduct for a demon.

Soon, the ship Bai Yan was on was nearing Demon Island after several days of secret high-speed underwater travel.

Even before the ship docked, Bai Yan and those around him saw three teams dressed in the black military uniforms of Demon Island, lined up in order on the distant island.

"Welcome Master home!"

...

Tens of thousands of Demon Servants roared solemnly, their voices thundering through the heavens, startling birds and beasts!

Standing behind Bai Yan, the Thirteen Disciples who were stepping onto Demon Island for the first time were full of shock!

"My God! Is this the master’s power? The army is so well-organized, so powerful!"

"The man at the forefront with the Tang Blade at his waist is truly terrifying, every move is filled with endless murderous intent!"

"Is there such a force of Abnormal People on Earth? This is probably the most terrifying Abnormal People Organization in the world!"

"From now on, even the Bright Church cannot stop the spread of darkness!"

...

The Thirteen Disciples exchanged glances, seeing the shock in each other’s eyes, they couldn’t help but exclaim quietly.

The Thirteen Disciples could clearly sense that within this troop, there were nearly a thousand S-class Abnormal People alone!

The individuals standing at the front of the army had even reached SSS-class!

The entire army, estimated at tens of thousands, was comprised solely of elite Abnormal People! Even the Bright Church did not have the resources to cultivate tens of thousands of Abnormal People to form an army!

What shocked everyone the most was the black-clothed man with the long blade at his waist, his face stern, and every move he made radiated boundless intent to kill! It was as if he was born for slaughter!

Although he was only SSS-class, his piercing gaze made even these SSS+ Dark Disciples feel a chill!

When the ship docked, Bai Yan led everyone off the ship, and that man quickly approached.

"Excluding the warriors training on the Biochemical Plane, all the armed forces of Demon Island have been fully reorganized, awaiting my master’s inspection!" Qin Jiuluo, holding a long sword, came before everyone and respectfully performed the salute of a servant to Bai Yan!

After continuous battles, Qin Jiuluo had also grown into an SSS-class Abnormal Person, now responsible for the entirety of Demon Island’s army.

Any entity threatening Demon Island had become a soul under his blade!

"Good! Very good!" Bai Yan nodded in admiration, his words full of satisfaction.

This was his Demon Army!

From the very beginning, when they were the weakest, step by step, with painstaking strategy, it had grown to this scale!

Bai Yan couldn’t help but feel a sense of wonder as he now recalled everything along the way.

"Everyone has worked hard."

Bai Yan’s deep eyes swept over the entire scene; his voice was not loud but clearly reached everyone’s ears.

"Thank you for the master’s praise!" everyone responded in unison.

Although Bai Yan’s words were simple consolations, it excited the hearts of the warriors of Demon Island. Each one of them was willing to pay the price of their lives for Bai Yan.

Where the lord’s gaze goes, there our blades point.

"All high-level officials stay, the rest disband," Bai Yan ordered.

"Yes!"

Everyone responded respectfully, disbanding in an orderly fashion, leaving only a dozen high-level managers of Demon Island.

"Alright, you few, don’t stand there like a post; come over and meet the Thirteen Disciples," Bai Yan said, seeing Fu Chao and others still standing there, and couldn’t help but laugh and scold.

"The Thirteen Disciples?"

Fu Chao responded with surprise: "Could it be that the master has subdued the Dark Council!"

Fu Chao, as a high-ranking authority of Demon Island, had grown rapidly over the years, now capable of standing on his own. He could guess a lot of information just from Bai Yan’s words.

"Yes."

Bai Yan nodded with a smile.

Chen Yudong and Zhang Kailei approached the Thirteen Disciples and said with a smile, "From now on, we’re all brothers, Demon Island is our home, so don’t be so restrained!"

The Thirteen Disciples, still caught in the shock of what they had just seen, could only nod stiffly in response.

Even though they were worldly and knowledgeable, they had truly never seen an organization as mysterious and powerful as Demon Island. If Demon Island were to make its formal appearance, who knows to whom the title of the world’s number one Abnormal People Organization would fall!

"Fu Chao, I heard that you developed a satellite?" Bai Yan turned his head and asked, very concerned about this matter.

Since witnessing the power of technology through the powerful intelligence of the Red Twins, Bai Yan consciously wanted Demon Island to develop its own technological systems.

Bai Yan would never put all his eggs in one basket. He wouldn’t focus only on demon cultivation; a diverse development approach and improved methods are essential for any power.

This time Bai Yan returned to Demon Island for two reasons: the first was to integrate the forces of Demon Island and the Dark Council, and the second was because Fu Chao told him over the phone that Demon Island had developed a new type of satellite.

"Yes, master. Under the leadership of Dr. Charles, combined with the technology from the Biochemical Plane, we have now developed a satellite capable of carrying the Red Queen system," Fu Chao replied, his voice filled with pride.

"Is the rocket ready?" Bai Yan asked immediately.

The satellite issue was not difficult; if Bai Yan was willing, he could easily transport a satellite from the Biochemical Plane.

How to send the rocket into space—that was the real problem facing Demon Island!

Apart from gods, even a demigod like Cain couldn’t step into outer space!

Not to mention, Bai Yan preferred to keep Demon Island’s development in the shadows, and launching the satellite would definitely require concealing it from the global powers of both the Mortal World and the Abnormal World.

"We manufactured the rocket in pieces in the Biochemical Plane and then transported them to the Main Plane for assembly. Everything is ready; we can launch at any time," Fu Chao explained. "The satellite uses the latest stealth metal modules developed by our Research Department, ensuring a covert launch that will go unnoticed."

"At the same time, the Red Queen’s intelligence system will ensure that after launch, the satellite uses a meticulously calculated trajectory to stay hidden. The data support from our single satellite will be equivalent to the combined effect of dozens of the world’s most advanced satellites."

Fu Chao’s detailed briefing brought an increasingly satisfied smile to Bai Yan’s lips.

"Good, take me to see it," Bai Yan nodded and said.

Led by Fu Chao, everyone arrived at the base of a hundred-meter-tall barren hill.

This was a specially designated area on Demon Island for testing newly developed technological devices and weapons.

"Click..."

Fu Chao lightly pressed a red stone, and to everyone’s astonishment, the mountain split open in the middle to reveal a complete rocket launch pad.

The white rocket, emblazoned with Demon Island’s mark, reflected a cold metal sheen under the sunlight, glittering brilliantly!

Seeing this, the Thirteen Dark Disciples couldn’t help but gasp in awe.

Again an army of Abnormal People! And now launching satellites!

This isn’t just an Abnormal People Organization—this is practically a miniature nation!

What kind of grand strategy is the master plotting?

"Master, since this is the first phase of development, our Red Queen system is not yet fully mature. Its main function is to suppress global satellite detection," Fu Chao said as he presented the information.

The Thirteen Disciples: "..."

This is considered immature?

If it can already shield itself from global satellite interference and detection, what more do you want to do?

Are you planning to use this satellite to monitor the entire universe?

Bai Yan seemed to hear everyone’s speculations and smiled lightly, saying, "Well, it is somewhat outdated indeed; have Doctor Charles and his team accelerate their development. We shouldn’t confine our sights to just the Main Plane. The vast Endless Star Sea out there awaits our exploration!"

The technology in the Biochemical Plane was a century ahead of that in the Main Plane; indeed, the Red Queen satellite was somewhat behind.

"Brother Yan, when do we launch the rocket?"

Fu Chao respectfully asked.

"Let’s do it tomorrow. Such an important day requires proper preparation," Bai Yan said with a smile.

Today, Demon Island has stepped onto the fast lane of rapid development. It won’t be long before the whole world shakes at the mention of Demon Island!

After sealing the hidden cave for the rocket launch, Bai Yan and his entourage made their way to the meeting room of Demon Island.

"Going forward, the Dark Council will be integrated under the name of Demon Island, establishing a separate department specially responsible for supplying Demon Island with provisions, personnel, and combat support."

"Demon Island is also responsible for training these new soldiers, supplementing the Dark Council, and assisting them in resisting the Bright Church!"

"But all this must be done in secret, without revealing the master-servant relationship between the Dark Council and Demon Island. We can use the pretext of cooperation for mutual support."

Bai Yan laid out his plans.

If the news of merging the Dark Council with Demon Island were to be leaked recklessly, it might provoke a joint response from other global Abnormal People organizations. No one would indifferently watch the emergence of a powerful entity.

Bai Yan would only take action at the most suitable moment, doing what was most wise.

Given Demon Island’s current influence, it would be difficult to acquire more superior soldiers on the Main Plane.

As the third-ranked Abnormal People Organization in the Main Plane, the Dark Council perfectly filled this gap.

"Master, the Biochemical Plane is nearing saturation. If we want to continue expanding our forces, we need to prepare a new area," Fu Chao mentioned.

After all, the zombies, having undergone mutation, were in some sense also living beings, but their rate of growth and reproduction was very slow.

If we continued to send troops for trials to the Biochemical Plane indiscriminately, these zombies would eventually go extinct!

That was something Bai Yan did not want to see. He was relying on the Biochemical Plane to provide a continuous supply of demon energy. At present, all of Demon Island’s development required substantial demon energy, and a stable monthly source was necessary to balance the expenditures.

"You go ahead and handle the cooperation between the two forces. I will take care of this matter," Bai Yan nodded and said lightly.

Previously, due to insufficient strength, Bai Yan could only open one Biochemical Plane.

Now, with the Biochemical Plane fully under control and the addition of the Dark Council, the strength of Demon Island had leaped significantly. It was time to open a new plane.

Just as Bai Yan was about to use the System to search for a new plane, he felt a sudden palpitation.

It was a calling, coming from the Abyss Plane!

"It’s Alec!"

Bai Yan was surprised.

Ever since Alec had mysteriously lost contact after helping him fend off a level-nine demon attack in the Blood-colored depression, there was no communication.

Now Bai Yan suddenly sensed Alec’s existence. The call was very weak, imbued with a plea for help, indicating Alec’s current situation seemed very dangerous!

Bai Yan frowned, left the meeting room, and drew a single hand across the void in his room.

"Whoosh~!"

A terrifying presence rippled through the Void.

A colossal Abyss Gate opened, surrounded by dreadful symbols, and without hesitation, Bai Yan stepped through it!

Abyss, your master has returned!
