She quickly forced herself to calm down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liora knew that her main goal when coming to this city was not to make enemies out of random Devils, but to collect more information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both regarding this area and the Inferno Valley, as well as for the Demon World as a whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although her bloodline memories indeed granted her some basic information, it was completely different to see it and confirm it in person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, she also wanted to check if there were any discrepancies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that in mind, Liora didn’t linger near the entrance for long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few seconds of thinking and having made several plans, she walked deeper into the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The city was already quite impressive from the outside, but was even more unique and bizarre from its interior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Giant buildings made of precious materials could be seen everywhere, one built next to another, while each \"pedestrian\" in the streets was a creature that would bring great terror to most ordinary worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, these beings now acted as if they were ordinary, mortal people, afraid of making any trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t fly but instead walked on their feet, moving from building to building as if they were commuting to work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liora knew why that was and was not surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the Crucible, many Devil cities were built in each Layer of the Demon World, numbering in the millions, if not even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this didn’t mean that all the cities were equal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, only cities with a Greater Devil in charge were considered \"true\" cities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their residents enjoyed great benefits, but also had to adhere to stricter rules—the rules set by its ruler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liora’s current location, Bloodflower City, happened to be one of those true cities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this was not a coincidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liora had specifically come to this city, knowing that only in such a populous place would she be able to find the information she was seeking, as well as a suitable environment that could support her further advancement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking through the city, Liora’s gaze scanned the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She watched the various Devils wandering through the streets, going from one place to another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like most of the Devils she had met before, their appearances varied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were grotesque and terrifying, while others looked unassuming, possessing a nearly human appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What surprised Liora, however, was that the vast majority of these Devils were humanoid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they were either too tall or too wide to be considered humans by most people, it was a fact that their outline faintly resembled that of a human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Liora’s eyes narrowed, but her footsteps didn’t stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While taking in her surroundings and memorizing the overall structure of the city, she continued her journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consciously, she avoided the areas where the True Devils were residing, unwilling to conflict with them before she obtained some information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But besides gathering intelligence, I also have another important thing to do.\", Liora whispered inwardly as her footsteps sped up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only some time later that she finally came to a stop, right in front of the entrance of a giant building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was several stories high and its walls were covered in grotesque patterns that twisted eerily, Liora recognized its true identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This horrifying-looking place was none other than an inn, a place for Devils visiting Bloodflower City to stay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Liora knew that she had come to the right place. With a step forward, she walked inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she did, she felt a surprising force trying to act on her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she felt that she could resist it as long as she wanted, she restrained her demonic energy and allowed it to operate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, Liora opened her eyes and found herself within a vast room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like a tavern, with several Devils seated at tables scattered throughout it, chatting loudly with each other like ordinary customers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one had to say, the only differences between this place and a normal tavern were the terrifying appearances of the customers, as well as its extremely huge size.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Liora noticed something different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previous force she had sensed resurfaced in her mind, and coupled with her own strength and her familiarity with that power, she soon recognized it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The power of space.\", she thought as she scanned over the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several Devil Runes flashed deep within her pupils. As her vision expanded and her field of view changed, she discovered a well-disguised secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this tavern looked ordinary, it was in fact not so much as a room. Instead, it was a completely different space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the whole inn seemed to be a separate demi-plane in Liora’s eyes, as if a special being had taken action and specifically carved it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And most likely, this was indeed the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I would find it difficult to perform such a feat even with my current strength and knowledge of Devil Runes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unless I obtained a suitable already-made array, I would have to spend decades researching in order to achieve something similar.\", she thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This once again made her realize the unfathomable depth of the Demon World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An inn she chose at random possessed such a valuable \"treasure\", an array which would have made most True Devils turn green with envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though many thoughts raced through her mind, Liora’s actions did not pause.\u003C\u002Fp>",1213,"2026-06-03T10:39:03.947Z",1,"novelbin.me","17b9790a9cb0d74cdd57bab26af2ed1e4181f8649b7eec722d5c42122a3b4b6e","evolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-chapter-246","evolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-chapter-244",482,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fevolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-cover.jpg"]
