"Ariel..."
"Wait!"
"You're not Ariel."
Earth Demon Gegom sensed the presence of Wind Demon Ariel and followed it all the way here.
Because the Witch Heart Demon had found him, inviting the Four Creators to join forces and establish a Hell Dimension belonging to the five of them, building it from scratch, making it big and strong, and reaching new heights of glory.
The Witch Heart Demon showed him the glorious prospects of the grand plan.
Earth Demon Gegom agreed and also consented to help the Witch Heart Demon locate the remaining three demons so that the Four Demons could gather, and with the Witch Heart Demon's Life and Death Law, they had enough to create a Hell Dimension of their own.
Moreover, the Witch Heart Demon had already prepared the souls needed for the early stages of the dimension.
Back then, Mephisto left a copy of the St. Peter's Basilica Contract on Earth, which contained thousands of souls.
As long as they found this contract, their newly created Hell Dimension could even use it as an opportunity to intervene in the battle for Earth's souls.
Just like Mephisto once contended with Yahweh for the ownership of Earth's souls.
In a word.
They might not lose.
So...
After leaving with the Witch Heart Demon, Earth Demon Gegom was tireless in searching for the remaining three demons.
And here he was.
By relying on the unique connections among the Four Elements of Creation, Earth Demon Gegom sensed Wind Demon Ariel's presence and followed it all the way here.
Initially, he was puzzled as to why Wind Demon Ariel was avoiding him, but when he saw Ariel's position becoming increasingly remote, he understood.
But...
Emerging from the ground, just about to speak, Earth Demon Gegom froze in place upon seeing Hawk, who bore the aura of Wind Demon Ariel yet wasn't Ariel.
At the same time!
Earth Demon Gegom became wary.
Hawk smiled, "Are you asking about Wind Demon Ariel? I just parted ways with him. He's helping me with something. If you're willing, you can help me too."
Upon hearing this, Earth Demon Gegom's soil-made brow furrowed.
"He, Ariel, is helping you with something? What is it?"
"Helping me cultivate."
The smile vanished from Hawk's face as he spoke, then he swung his right fist towards Earth Demon Gegom.
"Boom!"
Almost at the moment Hawk lifted his right fist, Earth Demon Gegom took a heavy hit. His chest instantly caved in, exposing a glowing Earth Core, and he was sent flying backward.
Just as he flew backward, he heard Hawk's words as his right fist struck.
"Super! Sound Speed Fist—"
"Boom!"
As soon as Earth Demon Gegom hit the ground, he roared in anger, swinging his hands repeatedly at Hawk.
Rumbling!
The surrounding ground shook with a constant rumbling sound. Sharp stone pillars rose one after another from the ground, like a sharp earth dragon rampaging underground. In the blink of an eye, the spike appeared beneath Hawk.
Then—
"Whoosh!"
"What?"
Earth Demon Gegom looked at the impaled image, expecting a different scene. Seeing only the pierced afterimage, he was taken aback.
The next second.
A voice sounded from behind him.
"Hey!"
"Over here."
"Swish!"
Earth Demon Gegom instinctively turned his head to look.
He saw a flash of light, and then, his freshly repaired chest suddenly ached.
Earth Demon Gegom instinctively looked down.
Before his eyes.
A foreign arm had pierced his chest, and the right hand had already gripped his Earth Core.
In an instant.
Earth Demon Gegom hurriedly lifted his head to look at Hawk.
Just as he was about to speak.
Hawk had already pulled the Earth Core from his chest.
The next second.
Earth Demon Gegom, having lost his Earth Core, began to revert to sand at a visible pace, falling upon the desert ground at Hawk's feet.
It wasn't that he was too weak.
It was that Hawk was too strong.
The most crucial point.
The Earth Demon is not like the formless Wind Demon.
If the Wind Demon perished due to negligence, the Earth Demon lost because it had a physical form.
The Wind Demon is formless.
The Earth Demon has form. If the Earth Demon encounters a powerful force that dismantles it or if its Earth Core is damaged or seized, it will die.
As fate would have it.
Hawk excelled at physical attacks.
So...
Hawk glanced at Earth Demon, now turned back into sand swept away by a gentle breeze, then withdrew his gaze. Opening his right hand, his attention fell upon the glowing Earth Core in his palm.
This is the Earth Element.
Hawk, with a thought, summoned a phoenix silhouette behind him. Scarlet Phoenix Fire appeared in his right hand, starting to refine the Earth Core.
In the Little Cosmos.
As the Earth Element of the Four Elements of Creation entered, the entire Little Cosmos was once again thrown into a massive upheaval.
And this time, the disturbance differed from that caused by the Wind Element.
If the disturbance from the Wind Element felt like a cosmic storm sweeping through the Little Cosmos.
Then the upheaval brought by the Earth Element felt entirely like a mountain collapsing and the ground cracking.
In the Little Cosmos, the meteorite fragments that had just been propelled by the Wind Element cracked fully into sand and gravel, then gradually began to grow with the addition of the Earth Element, before slowly rotating again under the influence of the Wind Element.
It looked just like the earliest image of a planet about to be born.
But...
It's not enough.
The Four Elements of Creation, lacking any one, cannot form a true material world.
"Wind Demon."
"And Earth Demon."
"Just got off the plane, less than an hour, tsk, and two major Creation Elements already in hand?"
"Such high efficiency."
Hawk opened his eyes, thinking to himself as he sensed something and looked far to his left.
He could perceive the presence of the Fire Demon over there.
After obtaining two elements, Hawk understood why the Earth Demon had tracked him here just now.
The Four Elements of Creation share a mystical connection with each other.
Because of this, wherever they might be, even the Four Creator Demons can easily find each other if needed.
Hawk laughed.
He instinctively took out his phone from his pocket and glanced at the time on it.
It was only three in the afternoon.
"Tsk."
"Move faster, I might still catch tonight's final ten o'clock flight back to New York City."
"Yeah."
"Let's set it, bigger the impact, the quicker we scatter!"
Hawk raised his eyebrows as he put his phone back into his pocket. In an instant, with a boom, he vanished from his original spot, then swiftly darted towards the location of the Wind Demon like a shooting star above the clouds.
Anyway, his mysterious constitution seems to only function when he's out of New York City. So far, he's never had any mishaps when traveling back to New York City by transport.
Is it because returning to New York City is like returning home?
Flying above the clouds, Hawk mused.
Next second.
He noticed a volcano beneath the clouds. With a thought, instantly, he appeared at a volcanic crater, ignoring the dense sulfuric fumes around, and took a glance down the crater.
In sight.
Hawk immediately noticed Fire Demon Salamak swimming through the dense magma below the volcano, seemingly changing various swimming strokes.
At the same time.
Fire Demon Salamak, swimming energetically in the intense magma, felt the presence of his good brothers, the Wind Demon and the Earth Demon.
With a boom!
Fire Demon Salamak immediately arose from the magma. Without caring about dripping magma on him, he prepared to go out and greet his two good brothers.
And then—
He saw Hawk!
"Fuck!"
"Boom!"
Feeling the presence of his good brothers, the Wind Demon and the Earth Demon, on Hawk, the Fire Demon immediately erupted in flames, then spun around without hesitation, diving back into the thick magma with a thud, like a diver.
Despite being called a Fire Demon, which may sound aggressive,
But in reality, he's the smartest among the Four Creators.
Uh...
Relatively smart.
Anyway, even though he hasn't quite figured out why the presence of his good brothers, the Wind Demon and the Earth Demon, would appear on the same person, it doesn't hinder him from making the most beneficial choice for himself in a short time.
Most importantly.
No matter the reason, with the presence of his good brothers appearing on the same person, and this person finding him here, it only signifies one thing.
Nothing good.
Standing at the volcano's crater, Hawk was a bit taken aback seeing the Fire Demon Salamak burst from the magma only to immediately dive back in with a whoosh.
Next second.
Hawk shook his head slightly, amused.
Alright.
If nothing unexpected happens, Fire Demon Salamak was likely scared by the presence of the Wind Demon and Earth Demon on him, thinking he was here to capture him.
However...
That's exactly why he's here, to capture the Fire Demon.
With thoughts swirling, Hawk leaned over, then shouted towards the Fire Demon who had curled himself in the magma below: "Salamak, Ariel and Gegom are in trouble, they need your help, let me call you to assist."
The Fire Demon Salamak slowly poked his head out of the magma upon hearing Hawk's words.
The Wind Demon and the Earth Demon are in trouble?
Unacceptable.
The Four Elements of Creation share the same breath, he must go help.
Thinking this, Fire Demon Salamak once again rose from the magma with a whoosh, carrying thick smoke as he flew towards the crater.
Instantly.
The volcano crater spewed thick smoke, as if the volcano was coming back to life, about to erupt.
But...
Waiting by the side, Hawk was a bit dumbfounded seeing the thick smoke without the Fire Demon.
Next second.
He heard the Fire Demon's voice coming from within the volcano.
"Hahaha, you think I'm stupid? You think that would trick me out? Damn it, trying to fool me into coming up, you got guts, come down if you dare!"
"..."
Hawk fell silent.
This is no ordinary Elemental Demon, a heavy punch must be dealt.
His expressionless face took a step.
Next second.
A foot forward!
