RKP 571-580
----------------------------
571 [......]
As before, the consciousness was cut off in an instant.
Nevertheless.
Something was different from before.
It recognized that a change had occurred.
It looked up at the sky.
It saw the collapsing red sky.
It looked down.
The desert sand was blurring.
And.
[......]
Arrogant red eyes.
It stared at the man in front of it.
[I wasn't careless.]
[I figured.]
[I prepared for a long time.]
[I know.]
Even so.
[…It seems I've failed.]
[I guess so.]
Ha. Hahaha. Hahahaha.
An unfitting laugh flowed out.
In order to surpass the previous generation.
Two beings who had been watching the key for a long time were disappearing.
Just as the Doppelganger bet on the Lower Realm King becoming the Unified King.
Now it had to desperately hope that the Upper Realm King would become the Unified King.
It had to entrust everything to the Archangel of demon origin.
Whack.
Its face contorted involuntarily.
[Now you're finally showing a decent face.]
The Doppelganger, who had been watching quietly, chuckled.
[Everyone reveals their true nature at the end of annihilation.]
Crack.
Michael bit his teeth.
[A mere… clone. A remnant that couldn't even become a clone…!!]
[You lost to that mere remnant that couldn't even become a clone. You.]
Imitating Kim Taehyun's tone.
The Doppelganger mocked Michael.
[Just you wait. When Asmodeus becomes a Constellation, this body will not disappear either. Even if it's only in the mental world, I will exist again, then….]
Yaaawn.
The Doppelganger yawned as if bored.
A half-baked Only God.
Constellation.
Once they reach that level, they shed their skin and cut off some of their past powers.
Michael was mentioning the possibility of himself becoming that 'part'.
[You used to call him brother. Now you're calling him Asmodeus instead of Raziel.]
[......]
How did such a proud guy end up looking so ugly?
The Doppelganger's yawn was accompanied by more chuckling laughter.
[Don't recite your wishful thinking. What kind of crazy person would revive such a troublesome existence like you? Huh? Did your brain harden when faced with annihilation?]
[That's… the same for you. The Lower Realm King….]
[Kim Taehyun. My partner is crazy, you know.]
A moron and a fool.
A psychopath.
A sly bastard.
A guy who would even mock gods with his mouth.
[......]
Michael quietly watched the Doppelganger cursing Kim Taehyun.
[Well, that's how it is.]
He lent his strength on the condition that he could take over his body at any time.
Wouldn't he acknowledge his hard work in catching Michael in the mental world?
[He's certified as crazy even in his own world. So I have reason to expect something, right?]
[…You!!]
Only then did Michael understand the difference in their relationship and shouted loudly.
Kilkilkikil.
Clclclcl.
[Aren't you curious?]
Asmodeus and Kim Taehyun.
The Upper Realm King from a Great Demon.
The Lower Realm King from a human.
Without the help of any administrator.
[Who among them with complete power will be stronger.]
[…You'll regret it.]
[You're already dead.]
[…Will.]
[You talk too much.]
Snap.
The Doppelganger snapped its fingers.
Rustle….
Fsssssss.
The radiance scattered.
Michael could no longer exist and went through the process of annihilation.
[Now… it's really over….]
The Doppelganger muttered.
Damn it, even his voice wouldn't come out properly.
[Partner….]
A hollow laugh came out.
To think that he would call Kim Taehyun that with his own mouth.
Michael.
He didn't like the fact that the defeated guy had a dignified face until the very end, so he bluffed.
[You X bastard….]
X bastard.
X bastard son of a bitch.
The power that Kim Taehyun used was no longer drawing on his own.
Asmodeus who lost Michael's power and Kim Taehyun who lost the mental world card.
The balance of power would be restored.
[A stupid guy.]
Stupid guys.
He poured out a torrent of curses on the Lower Realm Kings.
If he had known this would happen, he would have called Kim Taehyun, who had become the Lower Realm King, and beat him to a pulp.
He would have made that sly face cry many times.
Looking at the collapsing red sky, he was reminded of the journey he had gone through.
[......]
Still.
Well.
[…Not boring….]
Ssssssss.
The Doppelganger's body completely disintegrated.
Invincible (無敵).
The mental world of someone who had lived as a king for a long time.
Completely collapsed.
They had many conversations.
With their bodies, they aimed for each other's lives.
With their mouths, they denied each other's raison d'être.
The secrets of the Upper Realm.
The secrets of the Lower Realm.
The possibilities of the Middle Realm.
Many stories were exchanged.
The one who mainly led the conversation was Raziel, who called himself the Upper Realm King.
He found something so interesting.
Even this appearance was a lie.
He didn't hesitate to reveal that Michael was constantly aiming for his life.
'You're still a psychopath, even now.'
Before the regression.
He remembered the appearance of the Great Demon who smiled and killed a large-scale party.
[Asmodeus. There was once a Great Demon who was proud of being born with that name.]
The being with the appearance of an Archangel twisted its lips.
[That guy was a bug. A piece of trash who only aimed to be a Demon King. A Duke or something.]
The one who became the Upper Realm King insulted his past.
He survived on his own and became the 'Demon King'.
He accepted Baal's power and became the 'Demon Dragon'.
He accepted Michael's power and became the 'Archangel'.
And now.
[He absorbed the power of the Divine Beast and became the complete Upper Realm King.]
In comparison.
[Kim Taehyun. You are pathetic.]
A species born inferior to himself, a Great Demon.
If he had been aware of his destiny as the key to the Lower Realm King, he should not have been picky about means and methods.
If his innate power was weak, he should have been prepared to throw everything away like himself.
He insulted the traces Taehyun had walked.
Hwaak.
He created a radiance and closed the distance in an instant.
Jjeoeok.
The jaws of Devouring rose up and blocked the Upper Realm King.
[You believe in the possibilities of the Middle Realm?]
Kwaang.
The Spear of Judgment pierced the jaws of Devouring and burst it.
[You will fight the racial war 'together' with the Dukes?]
Kwadeuk.
The teeth of Devouring that collided with the Sword of Judgment bounced off.
[How foolish.]
Kwadeuk.
The Upper Realm King ridiculed Taehyun, who was creating distance and running away.
To think that he would end up choosing to run away at the end of the racial war.
He sneered at his patheticness and expressed his anger at his weakness.
[Weren't you the one chosen by the Lower Realm King?]
Pung.
Radiance fell wherever he passed.
Kwaang.
Magic exploded wherever he grazed.
Heterogeneous emotions collided and relentlessly pushed Taehyun.
In the process, the powers of the Dukes were repelled, and even the jaws of Devouring were torn apart.
'He's a monster.'
He was dragged into the Queen's world to limit his power.
None of the Lower Realm's powers worked properly.
He couldn't draw a picture of being able to win.
At this rate.
'I'll lose.'
Jjeoeok!!!
Kwadeuk!!!
Another Devouring was torn apart.
After regressing, he thought about the current situation several times.
How to make him kneel.
How to avenge the previous defeat.
He wanted to deny everything about him.
Ironically.
Taehyun's wish flew back like a boomerang.
After regressing, everything he had been running for.
Everything he had built.
Was being denied by his nemesis at the end of the racial war.
'What a X frustrating situation.'
The level of the guy who had accepted all the arrangements of the Upper Realm King and even absorbed Michael was higher than what Taehyun had achieved.
He had left the Doppelganger as a card in case of this, but he had not been connected to him since a while ago.
'I'll buy time.'
In order to seize an opportunity, it was important to survive first.
Ssssssss.
He imitated the Eyes of the Moon with magic.
Hwareureureuk.
He imitated the Eyes of the Sun with magic.
Cheonghwa bloomed in the gap between the distances.
[You're wrong, Kim Taehyun.]
The Upper Realm King walked through the blue flames without a care.
The imitated power of 'Annihilation' disappeared the moment it touched the radiance of the Upper Realm King.
The situation changed suddenly.
Wince.
For a very brief moment.
Hesitation was revealed in the movement of the Upper Realm King chasing after his prey.
Stop.
For a very brief moment.
The Upper Realm King stopped chasing his prey.
Something was wrong.
Something.
'Changed.'
And it wasn't just him that changed.
'……!!'
A huge sense of powerlessness washed over him.
It felt like he had missed something important, like he had lost something precious.
[…….]
"……."
The first to react in the silence was the Upper Realm King.
Hwaaaak.
Radiance swirled.
The Archangel who called himself the Upper Realm King.
His appearance changed.
[…How absurd.]
"Huh."
There wasn't much difference from when he opened his wings in Raziel's form a while ago.
It was just that the ten pairs of wings that had been fully spread were reduced one by one.
Leaving only five pairs.
Also.
'His presence is… constantly decreasing?'
Until a while ago, he was an existence that he thought there was no answer to even if he risked his life.
But now.
'Is it worth a try?'
It was when he was thinking that.
[Kim Taehyun. You had such a trick hidden away.]
He didn't answer and quietly gathered his magic power.
He widened his red eyes and looked for an opportunity to take the high ground at any time.
The Upper Realm King with a different voice from before opened his mouth.
[No, no…. Judging from your expression, even you didn't intend this situation.]
Suddenly Raziel laughed.
Ridicule. Derision.
Emotions of a different meaning than before poured out.
[Michael. That bug… To think that he couldn't even handle a single Doppelganger and caused a disruption to the plan.]
'…….'
It wasn't difficult to grasp the general situation.
[Judging by your face, it seems your card has become useless too.]
The cause of the sense of powerlessness.
The reason Raziel's divine power had shrunk.
It seemed that the guy named Michael had self-destructed.
Thanks to that, a problem had occurred with the stabilized level.
The Upper Realm King muttered things that he alone couldn't understand.
"Hey."
[Ah, don't worry. Even so, our sacred….]
Jjeoeok.
Instead of answering, the jaws of Devouring bared its teeth.
Kwadeuk.
The jaws swallowed the radiance of the Upper Realm King.
Kwadeudeuk. Kwadeudeuk.
Before, it couldn't handle the radiance and exploded.
Now, it was enduring the radiance and chewing and swallowing it.
It was because of the change in levels caused by the disappearance of each partner.
"Why do you talk so much."
Jjeoeoeok. Jjeoeoeok.
The jaws of Devouring endlessly swallowed the radiance of the area.
The five pairs of wings that helped with high-speed movement were reduced to three pairs.
[Indeed. The power that was in the mental world. Some of it flowed in.]
It was no longer possible to fight using overwhelming power as before.
The Upper Realm King understood the situation and waved his hand.
The radiance that arose repelled the jaws.
It was a different response from when he had allowed the attack without a care as before.
[Even so. Just because there's a problem with the level of God. Do you think it's worth a try.]
"Asmodeus."
[That's a name I've already abandoned.]
The power of the Great Demon Asmodeus was 'Betrayal'.
The power of the Archangel Raziel was 'Secret'.
And now.
The power of the Upper Realm King was said to be 'Destruction'.
Kwaang!!!
The two pairs of wings of radiance tore through Devouring and repelled Taehyun.
To think that he would blabber out information that could be considered confidential so carelessly with his own mouth.
It was an action that he wouldn't do in his right mind.
Tuk tuk.
He shook off the dusty body that had rolled and rolled.
It was just a personal space prepared by Rosaria.
His whole body was in tatters as if he had actually rolled on a dusty floor.
He had become one of the strongest beings in the Three Thousand Worlds.
Unfortunately, the opponent had a power beyond that.
Unfortunately, the opponent's power was rapidly shrinking.
He couldn't miss the opportunity that had come.
"Asmodeus."
He called the Upper Realm King's name once again.
[…….]
Raziel clicked his tongue and flapped his wings.
Two of the four wings disappeared on their own.
"Asmodeus."
Kwaang.
The descending Divine Sword was blocked by the jaws.
Soon.
The last pair of wings disappeared.
Kwadeuk.
The Divine Sword broke.
The overwhelming radiance disappeared without a trace.
What appeared was a being with a mixture of demon and dragon appearances.
Demon Dragon Asmodeus.
"Don't tell me you want to be called."
The jaws surrounded the area.
"The Upper Realm King in that state?"
Devouring.
The power of the Lower Realm King.
Swallowed the being of the Lower Realm.
572
The keys of the Upper Realm King and Lower Realm King did not have the same starting point.
The Great Demon Asmodeus.
He must have become a Demon King through his own power.
Just as Taehyun had the authority of Devouring, he was given the power of the Magic Dragon.
Thus, the Demon Dragon was born.
Just as Taehyun had an administrator named Rosaria, he had the Archangel Michael.
Thus, the Archangel Raziel was born.
Using the power of the Divine Tree, he fused the power of the Demon Dragon and the Archangel.
Thus, the Upper Realm King was born.
Now.
Restricted from using Divine Magic in the Queen's World, and having lost even Michael's power, all that remains for him is.
The Demon Dragon.
Only the power he could have as a Lower Realm demon.
Of course, the problem is that even that is comparable to Taehyun.
Crunch.
Where the fangs of Devouring passed, there was no Archangel enveloped in radiance.
The Demon Dragon, having endured Devouring, covered its scales with demonic energy.
[I am sincerely grateful to you.]
For making me, who aimed to become a Great Duke, the protagonist of this great war.
An unprecedented unified king in the history of the Three Thousand Worlds.
Because I got the chance to stand on an equal footing with the previous Godslayers.
[Revealing the truth was the reward for that.]
The truth about the Dragon King Baal.
The birth of Archangel Metatron.
Michael's insidious plan.
Enough confidence as a regressor to cover up all those plans.
"Asmodeus."
Taehyun recited the Upper Realm King's real name once more.
[Not accepting the truth even after it has been revealed.]
The fallen being soared.
[Is it a sense of responsibility as the Lower Realm King, or just recklessness?]
The Demon Dragon manifested in its true form.
Not the incomplete state seen in Hajar's Lair before.
A huge breath was unleashed.
'I'll test it.'
Crack.
The maw of Devouring was offset by the Demon Dragon's breath.
Taehyun's red eyes twitched.
'This is it.'
Taehyun, who lost his Doppelganger, only lost one card, but Asmodeus lost a large piece of his power.
This is the difference between someone who has grown and achieved class, and someone who has achieved class by using distribution.
"Now I can properly fight."
[Nothing changes.]
"Asmodeus."
[Didn't I tell you not to call me by that name?]
Once again, a breath was fired.
Smash!!
Fired.
Smash!!
It was fired in bursts.
Smash!! Smash!! Smash!!
Dozens of exchanges took place in an instant.
And.
Crackle!!
Finally, Devouring not only offset the breath but completely devoured it and survived.
[Tsk. How annoying….]
Unlike before, when he was full of confidence as the Upper Realm King, it was a vile voice.
The Queen's World is shaking as a price for enduring the power of the Upper Realm King Raziel.
From a moment ago, magic control is not the same as before.
It must be the effect of something changing when the Doppelganger disappeared.
It doesn't matter.
Just.
"Asmodeus."
Now.
"That mask."
Until you reveal the face in your memory.
"I'll take it off for you.
So.
[If we leave this place, everything will be resolved. If you covet the authority of the Lower Realm King, regaining the previous power is only a matter of time.]
"Come on, monster."
Blocking and being blocked.
Eating and being eaten.
A primal battle began.
2nd Heaven.
[These damn guys are so annoying.]
Elven, who had become one with the Divine Tree, released her magic power once again.
Hundreds of magic bullets, like dragon breath.
They flew in all directions like a barrage.
30% of the approaching Celestials were annihilated by that attack.
However, most of the absolute beings of the 2nd and 3rd Heaven were closing the distance without suffering any significant damage.
[What the hell.]
This was why Elven was not properly helping Jormungandr and Gilfel.
If she were to be even slightly careless in her defense of the Divine Tree.
'I'll die.'
She wouldn't be able to withstand the concentrated fire of that group of absolute beings.
If only controlling the Divine Tree were easy.
As if they had played some trick, the Divine Trees of the 2nd and 3rd Heaven were intricately intertwined.
Her authority is Great Magic Power.
She could draw an almost infinite amount of power from the Lower Realm Divine Tree, but the 2nd Heaven's Divine Tree had merged with the 3rd Heaven, forming a more complex shape that was more than twice as large, making it difficult.
[I never thought I'd be making excuses like this….]
Once again, a huge magic bullet scattered.
The moment she failed to control it even slightly.
The two deeply rooted Divine Trees would devour the Fairy King as nourishment.
Perhaps that is what those absolute beings are aiming for.
There was one more variable.
The Overlord of the 3rd Heaven, Demigod.
A variation born between the gods of the 2nd Heaven and the humans of the Middle Realm.
Even during the Race Wars, its activities were insignificant except for a few named absolute beings.
Like other Heavens, she assumed that there wouldn't be many skilled absolute beings.
It was a mistake.
Each and every Celestial of the 3rd Heaven is an absolute being.
Each authority is unorthodox.
There are currently 1,000 Demigods surrounding the Divine Tree.
She couldn't understand why these guys hadn't shown themselves in the Lower Realm until now.
'That, that damn guy. Damn it. Damn it.'
Elven hurled insults at the Sun God.
Even if it was a change that occurred after his observation was over, it was difficult to calm her anger without doing this.
Crack.
Suddenly, a dark, murky Demigod appeared in the void.
Not an ordinary absolute being.
Demigod Lord.
[The owner of the 3rd Heaven… is acting like a rat!]
Deflecting the magic bullet she fired, his body flowed like liquid.
The liquid formed the shape of a maw.
It imitated the authority of Devouring possessed by the Lower Realm King.
Crunch!!!
The divine power maw swallowed the magic bullet and approached.
[What the hell.]
Elven spat out curses and swung the branches of the Divine Tree.
She wanted to swing ten branches, but only three were swung.
In the end.
Smash.
She had to allow the fake Devouring to chew through the barrier.
Whoosh.
Thud.
The Demigod Lord's body turned into liquid and disappeared from the three branches that were swung belatedly.
[Damn it. God damn it.]
XXX.
Two layers of the Divine Tree's barrier had been peeled off.
Three layers of barrier remained.
It was a very weak shield for protecting a life.
'If I don't kill that Lord bastard, it's only a matter of time before the Divine Tree is taken.'
I need a useful bait.
The moment he bites the bait, I have to completely assimilate with the Divine Tree and completely erase his existence.
At that time.
Tzzzzzz.
Magic power was boiling in her body.
[……?]
Surpassing her authority, Great Magic Power, like a vast sea.
The same comfort as when she merged with the Lower Realm Divine Tree enveloped every part of her body.
Kim Taehyun?
No, this is.
[…Rosaria.]
She recognized the purple power mixed in with the magic power.
[…Did you finally use it.]
Elven's face hardened.
She knew that she had received some power from the previous Lower Realm King.
She also confirmed that she was compressing and compressing that power into multiple Personal Spaces, hiding it in her mental world.
It was a power so great that she couldn't even guess where it ended.
A cursed power that gnaws at existence just by possessing it.
Even opening a part of it could make her the strongest of the Lower Realm Dukes. That Ignimun who ignored her and so on.
Absolute power that could tear her apart with a few swings of her tentacles.
The reason why she didn't take out such power was clear.
[If I use this power, it will be for the contractor.]
Also.
[It will be the last moment for the end of the Race War.]
Rosaria's determination was firm.
Not wanting to disgrace that determination, she made one suggestion.
She planted a seed of the Divine Tree in her mental world.
Not an ordinary Divine Tree.
The Divine Tree would grow in the mental world, nourished by the power of the Lower Realm King.
Elven's clone in the form of a Divine Tree.
Even if Rosaria released a huge amount of power, the authority of Great Magic Power would help her not to go berserk easily.
And now.
A huge amount of power is flowing in through the clone that has been planted.
This is only a remnant of the power.
At the end of the battle, the Succubus Queen's body will no longer be able to exist.
At the same time.
[It means you've made a gamble.]
Elven used Great Magic Power once again.
She quickly seized control of the Divine Tree, which had lightly regarded her magic power until just now.
[Eat your fill.]
She soaked the radiance in colorless magic power, matched the ratio, and transformed it into the form of Divine Magic Power.
In that short time, all but one of the Divine Tree's barriers had been destroyed.
[Rosaria. It's thanks to you.]
Kwaaaaaa.
Huge Divine Magic Power exploded from the completely seized Divine Tree.
The advance of the approaching absolute beings stopped.
The Fairy King, who was born with the authority of Great Magic Power and understood the energy of the Three Thousand Worlds, opened her mouth.
A power that can force even death upon the target with overwhelming existence.
[Vanish.]
She used the authority of 'Absolute Command'.
The Celestials who touched the Divine Magic Power.
Psssssss.
They began to disappear as they were.
A moment of realization in a moment when life was at stake.
By resisting the Celestial Divine Tree that was trying to absorb her, she realized the principle of divine power.
She understood the properties of magic power and divine power.
She perfectly mastered the control of Divine Magic Power, which had been stagnant.
[Spread the Divine Tree.]
Hwaaak. Hwaaak.
As if answering the command.
The Divine Tree spread Divine Magic Power throughout the 2nd Heaven.
The coordinates of the Celestials and Demons who touched the Divine Magic Power appeared before her eyes.
[A curse to the Celestials, power to the Demons.]
Absolute command.
The earth trembled at the Fairy King's will.
Crack. Crack.
Branches of the Divine Tree sprung out from the cracked earth.
The Celestials resisted, but it was not enough.
The bodies of the lower-level absolute beings were turned into nourishment as they were.
Named absolute beings of middle-level or higher formed groups and resisted awkwardly, but they began to fall one by one.
The tide of battle, which had been unilaterally pushed back due to the disappearance of support, was reversed once again.
She doesn't know it, but she used a similar level of magic to what was used in the 1st Heaven.
Drip.
[Damn it… Damn it… To this extent….]
Elven wiped the blood flowing from her eyes and withdrew her power.
Just using it over a wide range for a short time comes with this level of risk.
Fortunately, that one attack restored the tilted war situation to balance.
Jormungandr resumed his territory battle with Poseidon and Hades, and Gilfel was regenerating his body that had been struck by Zeus' thunder.
Including herself, three Great Dukes were attacking two Heavens.
[The 2nd Heaven guys… produced three Heaven Masters….]
She thought that she could have enough of an advantage beyond the odds, but the plan was delayed by the three top gods of Olympus.
'That damn Demigod Lord hasn't completely disappeared yet either.'
He is waiting for an opportunity while completely suppressing his presence.
It was a really annoying situation for her, who was thinking of helping Taehyun and Rosaria in the 1st Heaven as soon as things were sorted out.
[Hold on a little longer….]
She muttered and concentrated on controlling the Divine Tree.
Since she can't expect support from other Heavens, sorting out the 2nd Heaven and then heading to the 1st Heaven among the three of them will be the fastest.
The top familiars of the two Great Dukes were fighting dirty battles against the absolute beings.
It's a pity that the number has decreased a lot in a short time.
If her support is added, she will be able to gain a slight advantage little by little.
First, to catch the Demigod Lord, she needs bait.
A Great Duke-level bait.
[Hoo….]
She gathered the Divine Magic Power and released the authority of Great Magic Power.
[If it's now… can I do it….]
Hwaaak.
She opened the gate and identified the coordinates of each Heaven.
From a dozen gates.
The situation of each Heaven was reflected.
573
Until now, all that had been permitted to her was information on the 5,000th floor.
That too, was limited to what Taehyun, who had contracted with Lucifer, Ra, and Odin, could see through their perspectives.
From Elven's standpoint, she had been supporting the magic power without even properly grasping the situation in the Otherworld.
To quote an Earth proverb, it was like pouring water into a bottomless pit.
But now it was different.
Following 'Great Magic Power,' she had awakened the authority of 'Great Divine Power.'
By combining the two authorities, she had obtained the higher authority, 'Absolute Command.'
It was not impossible to share the vision of the Archdukes and demons who were absorbing her magic power.
She scanned over a dozen gates.
A bait.
'An Archduke is needed to reverse the situation on the 2,000th floor.'
9,000th floor.
Phase 3.
Hajard, using seven types of 'Fear,' was confronting gigantic magic dragons.
Around him, the remaining dragonkin were lending their strength to their Lord.
8,000th floor.
The bloodied Orgal was showing off his compressed muscles to a celestial being he was seeing for the first time.
A massive body comparable to a divine beast.
It must be Behemoth, the owner of the celestial floor, whom he had only heard of.
Orgal was the one throwing punches, but.
For some reason, the Demonic Beast King's strikes were not landing.
Around them, the highest-ranking species of the Demonic Beast race were confronting the mystic beasts.
It seemed they had agreed to settle things with a captain's battle here.
6,000th floor.
Igmune was protecting the vampire race by opening a Blood Field.
For some reason, the celestial beings of the 6,000th floor had not yet shown themselves.
5,000th floor.
3 vs 3.
The celestial floor owners, who had not yet reached a conclusion, were flashing their battered radiance.
'The only ones who are relatively intact are Lucifer and Ra, perhaps….'
There were too many variables to summon any one of them.
At that moment, Brahma and Elven's gazes met.
[I will not allow it.]
Fwoosh.
The gate disappeared entirely due to the Absolute Command used by the celestial floor owner.
[XXXX. Acting picky.]
Her gaze turned to the next gate.
4,000th floor.
Nastika and Astika.
The divine beings created by the owners of the 5,000th floor were overwhelming the giant and incubus races.
The overall power was in favor of the Absolutes of the 4,000th floor, but.
They were not entirely friendly with each other, and they did not hesitate to attack each other in the chaotic battle.
Conversely, the giant and incubus races were united and looking for openings.
They were being pushed back, but they seemed to be maintaining the war situation reasonably well.
This was likely because the Giant King was facing multiple named Absolutes.
[Rozaria~!!]
Beyond the gate, a familiar cry was heard.
The Giant King roared, unleashing his authority.
Even though he was not in normal condition due to the concentrated attacks of the Nastika and Astika.
[Roza~ria!!!]
Typhon tore apart a Nastika, calling out the name of the Succubus Queen.
The Absolutes of the 4,000th floor seemed quite taken aback by the unbelievable toughness.
[Hahaha.]
Every time the Giant King rampaged, one Absolute disappeared.
While rampaging, the Giant King's gaze turned to the divine beast of the 4,000th floor.
A massive divine sea was spread around the divine beast, and the owner of the 4,000th floor, manifested in its true form, seemed to be guarding it.
[I want to see Rozaria!!]
Don't stop me.
I will tear apart anyone who stops me.
He charged forward, roaring alone.
Thwack.
Typhon, leaping up, jumped into the divine sea.
Pazzzzzzzz.
The lightning wrapped around his massive body flowed through the divine sea.
Hwarrrrrrr.
The flames blazing on his massive body evaporated the divine sea.
Quarrrrrrr.
The wall of water blocked the oncoming waves.
Soon.
Ddddddddd.
The ground rising from the end of the divine sea dragged Typhon out of the water.
Kwaang!!
Right in front of the divine beast.
Typhon, landing past the owner of the 4,000th floor, slammed directly into the divine beast.
[Th, that…!!]
[Isn't he crazy!!]
[Kill him!!]
The attacks that had been concentrated stopped.
This was because recklessly attacking could also impact the divine beast.
[Stop. The god will take care of it.]
The owner of the 4,000th floor, emerging from the divine sea, controlled the divine beast to restrain Typhon.
[Th, that idiot….]
Elven cursed, watching Typhon's action, which was akin to a suicide attack.
At that time.
[…Elven… is that… Elven…!!]
Typhon's voice echoed in her mind.
The 2,000th and 3,000th floors.
The 3,000th and 4,000th floors.
Was it because the divine beasts of similar ranks were assimilated?
Or maybe….
No, that didn't matter.
[You idiot!! Charging recklessly like that is why you got captured!!]
[Hahaha. Won't you help me then?]
[What kind of bull….]
Huh?
Elven tilted her head.
Come to think of it, it wasn't wrong.
The current Typhon was forcibly assimilated with the divine beast.
If that were the case.
Elven poured Divine-Demonic Power towards the divine beast of the 4,000th floor.
[Oh… you've become able to completely control Divine-Demonic Power? Indeed, your foul mouth has value… my strength is surging….]
Typhon burst into laughter at the colorless radiance that bloomed like a mirage.
[Damn… indeed… is that so….]
It was the moment Elven gained a new realization.
[…coordinates… the divine beast of the… 2,000th floor.]
Gandharva, the owner of the 4,000th floor.
The king of the Nastika, who became the owner of the celestial floor after driving out the king of the Astika.
The owner of the divine beast swung his massive tail.
Quaddeuddeud.
Ignoring the power of the elements emitted by the Giant King.
Quadeuk. Quaddeudeuk.
Gandharva tightened his seemingly endless tail.
Gandharva, fully assimilated with the divine beast of the 4,000th floor.
Typhon, partially assimilated with the divine beast of the 4,000th floor.
Elven, fully assimilated with the divine beasts of the 2,000th and 3,000th floors.
Their respective voices echoed clearly in their minds.
[The Fairy King who manages the divine beasts of the Lower World. You've even obtained Divine Power… those worthless bastards of the 2,000th floor. So they even had their divine beast stolen.]
[Keuha… hahaha… Elven… I… must see Rozaria….]
While letting out a sound that was hard to tell whether it was a laugh or a groan, his red eyes were clear.
[XX bastard. Don't… resent me.]
Hahahaha.
[My woman is waiting!! Move quickly!!]
Thwack.
Typhon grabbed Gandharva's body, which was wrapped tightly around his own.
The five elements mixed and flowed into the body of the celestial floor owner.
Even so.
[Your authority is not enough.]
Kwaak.
As Gandharva exerted his strength, the Giant King's toughness, which had not crumbled even under the concentrated attacks of authority.
Eudeudeuk.
Slowly but surely.
Began to crumble.
[Hehehe… hehe….]
[…….]
[I… will not die until I see Rozaria. Elven…!!]
[…Don't rush me!!]
Suddenly.
The authority of Great Magic Power was added to Typhon's body.
Great Magic Power with 100% divine beast concentration circulated around his massive body.
It was the moment when the magic power surpassed the Divine Power that Gandharva was injecting.
Hwareuk!!
A massive Divine-Demonic Power bloomed on the Giant King's body.
The authority of the Archdukes, which he had engraved on his body but could not use because he did not fully understand it, awakened one by one.
Just as Elven had done.
The Giant King's body was stained with radiance.
Gandharva was momentarily flustered by the sudden evolution of his prey.
Kwaak. Kwaak.
Typhon's two hands grabbed Gandharva.
Quadeudeuk. Quaddeudeudeuk.
Jjeojeojeojeok.
[Wh….]
Gandharva struggled in panic.
[No one can stop my love.]
The Giant King, blinded by false love.
Thwack.
Tore apart the owner of the 4,000th floor.
[Damn….]
Elven cursed, watching.
Ra, the Sun God.
The owner of the 10,000th floor was born with the authority of annihilation and a strong curiosity.
Perhaps that was why.
Unlike other celestial floor owners, he spent a long time engrossed in the study of Divine Power.
He frequented the Empty Records countless times and obtained considerable results through conversations with the previous Upper World King and Lower World King.
One of the most astonishing things Baal had told him was that there were two beings whom the one and only God had meticulously crafted in the Lower World.
The Fairy King Elven.
The Giant King Typhon.
They were born with the qualifications to become celestial floor owners, but they were dropped into the Lower World due to the whims of the one and only God.
They were created at the level of celestial floor owners, but they were degraded.
However, that did not mean that their strength was not effective in the Lower World.
Even before Baal created the Archduke system, they had reigned as kings in their respective domains and were beings whom he had attempted to recruit as the first Archdukes but had failed.
The law of the Lower World was the survival of the fittest.
Strong individuals naturally sought out stronger ones.
Afterward, Typhon naturally rose to the position of Archduke, and Elven, due to her naturally eccentric nature, clashed with the demon race and met her demise.
Even after Typhon was sealed by the alliance of the Demonic Beast King and the Demonic Sea King, the potential created by the one and only God had not waned.
He had earnestly requested that the two Archdukes who would become variables in the racial war awaken.
The Sun God, whose words had drastically decreased at some point due to Elven's personality and Typhon's indifference.
Certainly, there had been times when he had expressed such a possibility.
Damn.
[Oh, XX.]
XX XX.
Elven cursed, watching Typhon tear apart the owner of the 4,000th floor with only his grip strength.
The expression was only covered in curses, but the emotion was bewilderment.
Even though she had supported him, he tore apart a celestial floor owner with his bare hands.
Even if Taehyun were in this place, he would have shown a similar reaction.
Hahaha.
Typhon burst into hearty laughter.
He felt good because it seemed like he had given a blow to the celestial floor owner and the Fairy King who had ignored him.
[Typhon!! Now that the celestial floor owner has disappeared, you should be able to seize control of the divine beast!!]
[Hmm…? I don't know any such methods. In the first place, only someone like you would be able to handle the divine beast….]
[You idiot!! Have you forgotten what 'Ra' said!!]
[Hmm….]
Typhon made a complicated face.
He was making an expression that didn't suit him as he thought.
Whether it was Nastika or Astika.
It was only a matter of time before the second-in-command of the 4,000th floor would ascend to become the celestial floor owner and seize control of the divine beast.
Every minute, every second was important.
They couldn't just wait indefinitely until Typhon regained his memories.
[You idiot!! Just like me!! You were born with the authority to control the divine beast!!]
He shouted that, just like herself, he was born with the potential of a celestial floor owner.
Unlike other Archdukes, they had been granted the authority to control the divine beasts of the Upper World.
[Indeed… Is it natural that I don't remember…. I'm sorry, but I can't control magic power in detail like you. I just move, and magic power instinctively follows.]
[What…?]
[The use of Divine Power is even more difficult. Not to mention Divine-Demonic Power.]
[…….]
For a guy who was an Archduke to not be able to control his authority as he thought.
This wasn't a matter of being stupid or not.
Wasn't he really just a moron who lived only on instinct?
[XX. XXX. XX-like guy.]
[Elven. Refrain from speaking to me….]
[XX, Ra. You XX.]
[…….]
XX. XXX. X. XX. XXXX. XXXXX.
[XX XXX XXXX XXX XX XXXX.]
Even throughout all the lives Typhon had lived, he had never been insulted to this extent.
Stop.
It was the moment Typhon, who was starting to get heated, was about to say something.
Thump. Thump. Thump.
The massive body shook.
No, it was the divine beast that was shaking.
The Absolutes of the 4,000th floor were pouring Divine Power into the divine beast.
In front of them were two Absolutes wrapped in Divine Power.
Indra and Agni.
Top-tier Astika who were nothing short of being the next celestial floor owners.
They had confirmed the annihilation of Gandharva and moved to reclaim ownership of the divine beast.
Thump thump thump thump thump.
Between the familiar Divine Power and the unfamiliar Divine-Demonic Power, the divine beast shook back and forth.
[…How annoying, sticking so close!!]
It wasn't easy to escape outside because he had recklessly assimilated with the divine beast.
[Hey, Fairy King!! There's no time to be doing this!! You've caught the 4,000th floor owner, so now move me to where Rozaria is!! Either way, Erebus will take care of suppressing the rest. Yes, if you're aiming for the next Giant King, you have to do that much!!]
Just because he had annihilated the celestial floor owner, to think that the Absolutes would obediently surrender.
[…….]
She couldn't think of any words to enlighten this stupid comrade.
And so.
Damn.
Along with the curse, she decided to grant his wish.
Episode 574
They clearly glimpsed at the situation in other celestial realms to find bait.
If there was a Great Duke who had gained a favorable position, or a Great Duke on the verge of defeat, they intended to forcibly summon them and use them as bait.
Typhon.
The Giant King was better bait than they had imagined.
He had dealt with the master of a celestial realm single-handedly and even become one with a Divine Beast.
Even if Indra and Agni were to become the next masters of the celestial realm, they would only be half complete without a Divine Beast.
'The Divine Beasts of the Four Celestial Realms can be directly controlled by I, Elven.'
Complete control is impossible, but that alone is enough to support the remaining giants and incubi.
'Alright. What can I do when this fool is making a wish?'
[…Elven!!!]
[Shut up. I shall summon you to the Second Celestial Realm.]
[Hahaha. Finally, you have understood this body's heart. Hmm…? Wait… Why are you summoning me to the Second Celestial Realm instead of the First Celestial Realm? Rosaria is clearly in the First Celestial Realm….]
Isn't she?
Is direct transit impossible?
He asked several times, but there was no answer from Elven.
[Elven…?]
Was this body too impolite?
[Fairy King…?]
Typhon endured the Absolute's attack and urged for an answer.
10 seconds.
30 seconds.
1 minute.
The answer came only after that much time had passed.
[Personal space… shattered.]
[Hmm? If it's personal space, it must be the space created by this body's fiancée. Is Rosaria safe?]
[…….]
The Succubus Queen's power would be a counter against the archangels in the First Celestial Realm.
Typhon only knew that much, so he did not grasp the detailed situation.
[Hey, aren't you going to answer? Is she safe?!! Don't tell me even her soft tentacles got scratched….]
To the question from someone who still couldn't grasp the situation.
[Dead….]
[…What?]
[Rosaria… seems to be dead….]
Elven answered with a stiff expression.
Rosaria died.
That is not a simple expression.
It is Elven, who was watching the situation in other celestial realms while urging Typhon.
What she can confirm through the gate is through the gaze of the Great Dukes and the highest-ranking subordinates who have been implanted with mana.
She couldn't see the First Celestial Realm.
Neither Taehyun's gaze nor Rosaria's gaze.
She could only feel that they were using their power, but she still couldn't see their vision.
This probably means that the barrier of the 'Queen's World' is stronger and more complex than the barriers of other celestial realms.
She can't confirm it with her eyes.
Even so.
The reason Elven said that Rosaria's personal space had been shattered and that she had died was because the mana that had been swirling until just now had suddenly stopped.
The Divine Beast implanted in the personal space had collapsed.
In addition to this, she had connected Divine Beasts from the Lower Realm and the Middle Realm, but that couldn't be maintained for long.
5 minutes in outside time?
No, could she even maintain it for 1 minute?
The power of the King of the Lower Realm is high risk, high return.
She had created a barrier with multiple personal spaces.
If it had been breached, if she was already out, then.
What awaits her is only annihilation.
A painless death.
No matter how positively she thought about it, she could only think of such an ending.
In the expected way.
The expected death.
It's clear that it would be like that.
Nevertheless.
Elven realized that she was panicking.
[……ven….]
Is that why?
[…Elven….]
Was it the archangels or the King of the Upper Realm who killed Rosaria?
If so, what about Kim Taehyun?
[……Snap out of it….]
The faces of Taehyun and Rosaria, who said they would somehow finish it themselves, came to her mind.
Whether Kim Taehyun had collapsed or Rosaria had collapsed.
If one of the two had collapsed, it would mean that the balance had been broken.
The probability of the Race War solidifying into a defeat for the Lower Realm is high.
[E----El----ve----e----e----en---!!!!!]
[……!!]
It was a high-pitched shout that made her snap to her senses.
It was as if she had been electrocuted, hot as if she had been burned, cold as if she had been frozen, a stinging pain as if she had been cut by a blade, and a nausea as if the ground was shaking.
All of that came to her in a complex way.
Divine Power.
It didn't take long to realize that the source of that great power was Typhon in the Fourth Celestial Realm.
[Snap out of it!! Did you confirm it with your own eyes?!!]
Typhon shouted as if scolding her.
[No… the connected mana… disappeared without a trace….]
Typhon's face distorted inside the gate.
The Divine Power that had been completely fused with his body was soaring as if exploding.
The Divine Beasts of the woman who controlled the Divine Beast of the Second Celestial Realm and Typhon who controlled the Divine Beast of the Fourth Celestial Realm are completely resonating.
[…This body's woman!! Will not be annihilated so easily…!!]
He said it as if convinced, but it was a statement close to a scream.
[Immediately transfer this body to the First Celestial Realm!!]
He shouted that he would confirm it with his own eyes.
[No, that's impossible….]
[No more!! Do not utter the word impossible in front of this body!!]
[……!!]
Elven's red eyes trembled.
Kwaaaaaaa.
A huge Divine Power was being released from the gate.
Typhon was distorting the nature of the gate and crossing over to where Elven was on his own.
To tear apart the unmarked dimensional space and forcibly move.
It's a skill that even she can't do.
No, even if she did, if she moved so forcibly without sufficient preparation, her body, unable to withstand it, would be torn apart.
As expected.
At first, it was one arm.
Then another arm.
One leg.
The remaining leg.
And.
Kwaddeudeudeu.
Finally, the Giant King's distorted face appeared.
Chiijijijik.
The fully exposed body became tattered, and a haze rose.
The engraved gray mana was manifested, but it seemed that even with Lucifer's power, quick recovery would not be easy.
If he doesn't recover properly like this, the power of the Celestial Realm's master that he barely obtained will be permanently damaged.
[Elven… send this body… to the First Celestial Realm….]
The Giant King, with his red eyes flashing, panted.
It's not a request, it's an order.
'Recovery is slow.'
At Elven's gesture, the branches of the Divine Beast clung to him.
She injects the power of great magic.
She injects the power of great divinity.
In addition to this, she forcibly activated the powers embedded in his body.
She sucked in the Divine Power of the Divine Beast with the power of absorption, turned all energy into recovery with the power of evolution and regeneration, and replenished the lost muscles with the power of strengthening.
[…There's no time… for this….]
Typhon met the eyes of his comrade, who was rummaging through his body as he pleased.
[It's impossible. It's unbelievable that you even came to the Second Celestial Realm, but the First Celestial Realm….]
KUNG!!!
The Divine Beast shook as Typhon stomped his foot.
[…No more!!! Do not say the word impossible…!]
[…….]
[Move this body to where Rosaria is right now!!]
The huge body staggered just by shouting.
[…….]
Elven quietly stared at Typhon, whose eyes were full of murderous intent.
In a short time.
The complicated sorting in her head was over.
[Typhon. Let me correct myself. Rosaria has not yet been annihilated. I'm not trying to reassure you, but there was clearly a mana reaction a moment ago.]
It's not a lie.
[So immediately….]
[I'm sorry to say this, but I can't move you to the First Celestial Realm in that state. No, it's not that I, Elven, can't do it, but if you forcibly move like this now, only a corpse will arrive.]
[What do you want this body to do!!]
[Shut that mouth and listen.]
Unlike when Taehyun and Rosaria were sent to the First Celestial Realm, all coordinates heading to the celestial realm are blocked.
To head to the First Celestial Realm in the current state, you have to forcibly open the gate.
Even the Giant King, who has awakened as the master of the celestial realm and boasts a strong body, is like this.
If he did such a thing one more time, he might be completely annihilated this time.
[However.]
There is always a way.
[Use the Demigod Lord to recover your body. Then catch Zeus. That's the fastest way.]
[What….]
Elven continued, as if not allowing questions.
[The problem is Zeus. There's no way he'll be caught willingly. Help Gilfel bind the master of the Second Celestial Realm. If you do that, I will somehow open the gate to the First Celestial Realm.]
She told him the solution she had sorted out in a short time.
Kung. Kung. Kung. Kung.
Typhon ran out of the Divine Beast as if there was nothing more to hear.
At the same time.
Jjeoeok.
Devouring.
The maw that the Demigod Lord had implemented swallowed the huge body.
KWANG!!!
Typhon's fist struck the maw.
The moment the demigods recoiled in horror.
[You… little brats!! Come!!]
He unleashed a lion's roar.
[……!!]
[……!!]
Demigods began to fall here and there.
Just like Elven did. He instinctively used 'Absolute Command'.
The difference is that he put murderous intent into the power that he instinctively used.
[This… is….]
The only being who endured the Absolute Command.
The Demigod Lord, who revealed himself as the price for saving his life, staggered.
Kkwaak.
The Giant King's hand grabbed the master of the Third Celestial Realm.
[Give me your Divine Power.]
[Let, let go…!!]
Unknown powers.
The Divine Power that bloomed scratched the Giant King's body.
Typhon opened his mouth at the prey's resistance.
And.
Kwaduk.
He put the master of the celestial realm into his own maw as it was.
Eudeudeuk. Eudeuk.
Just moving his mouth quietly didn't seem like it would digest, so he activated all the engraved powers.
He could hear Elven shouting something in his head, and it was a foolish method even he thought, but it worked.
The recovery of the body became faster.
Kureureureureu.
His gaze turned to the master of thunder, who was fighting with the Demon King far away.
KWANG!!
He stomped his foot and leaped.
He shouted the name of the celestial realm's master, who was just cutting off the Demon King's horn.
[ZE---U----S----!!]
[A giant dares to call Father's name….]
Peok.
[…Block him!!]
Peok.
[Move away and disrupt his movement….]
Peok.
[Just avoi….]
Peok.
[Craz….]
Peok.
Kung. Kung. Kung. Kung. Kung.
Dozens of Absolutes were struck by the running Giant King.
After all of them died, he was able to reach Zeus.
[Typhon… how did you….]
[Where did you fly your precious horn?]
The conversation was only that.
If he can just 'catch' this guy, he can go to the First Celestial Realm.
Only those words echoed in his head.
[Puhuhu. Where did this guy pop out from again.]
Pajik. Pajik.
Zeus laughed as he burned the Demon King's horn with lightning.
The Demon King, who is clearly more of a subordinate than him.
It's a battle that would have ended long ago if it wasn't for the support of the Fairy King who controlled the Divine Beast.
Zeus's blue eyes scanned Typhon's huge body.
A Great Duke on the level of the master of a celestial realm.
There was no risk in summoning a guy of this level?
Nonsense.
In other words.
[If I deal with just you, it's like dealing with the tired Fairy King….]
Deopseok.
Typhon's two hands touched Zeus.
[Caught you.]
[Don't touch me with your lowly hands.]
Kwareureu!!
The lightning that struck down burned the Giant King black.
That was all.
The huge body quickly began to regenerate.
[Hoo?]
[…It's useless.]
Kwareureu!! Kwareureureu!!
Lightning struck down several times.
[A strong body that can withstand lightning… how about this?]
Roar.
The Divine Weapon that cut off Gilfel's horn headed towards Typhon's face.
Kwarung!! Kwareureung!!
Warak.
Typhon hugged the master of the celestial realm, who was not even a third of his size.
[…I won't die.]
[Heo. This guy?]
[…Rosaria… won't die….]
Kwarung!!!
[This body… will make it so….]
Kwareureung!!!
Five times. Ten times. Twenty times.
Even with the roar that struck down without rest, Typhon did not let go of Zeus.
All the celestials who were fighting had their eyes stolen by the roar.
[This is unexpectedly good for breaking morale….]
Pajijeujeujeujeujik.
It was the moment when Zeus was about to cut off the giant's neck with the roar that had been shaped.
Kwaaaaaaa.
Suddenly.
Divine Power erupted from Typhon's body.
It was only a fleeting moment that the branches of the Divine Beast writhed below.
Jjeoeeoeoeok.
The branch transformed into the shape of a maw.
[Go and come back, Typhon.]
To Elven's telepathy that echoed in his head.
The corners of Typhon's mouth, which had been blackened, twisted.
The maw.
Kwaduk!!!
Swallowed the master of the celestial realm and the Great Duke.
575화
Nightmare.
Succubus.
Those who feed on dreams.
Trash of the Lower World.
Called by various names, but ultimately at the bottom of the food chain.
Among numerous demons, they are invariably evaluated as the weakest species.
In the law of the jungle that is the Lower World, the life of the succubus Rozaria was daily hell.
She killed and was killed, and today's alliance to survive became tomorrow's betrayal.
She did her best to survive.
She did her best to become stronger.
That was all she did.
Before she knew it, the succubus race had gained a reputation as a vulgar group.
It couldn't be helped.
She rationalized it that way.
Unlike incubi, who had access to physical training, succubi were not even given such an opportunity.
The unique constitution of incubi and the mind control abilities of succubi.
When Lilith, a mutant who had reached the pinnacle of these two domains, was born.
When she united many species under the name of the nightmare race.
When she took the Sea Demon King of that era as her lover and had the control over a part of the Demon Sea and the tentacles of the highest species transplanted into her.
Rozaria saw the path she, as a succubus, had to take.
She willingly swore to be with Lilith and the nightmare race.
She would dedicate her life for the glory of the queen and the species.
Sadly.
That thought didn't last long.
The problem was in an unexpected place.
Instability of personality.
Incompleteness of thought.
Her individual power was at the Archduke level.
Abnormal behavior that expressed madness depending on her mood.
Many nightmare race members died because of Lilith's capriciousness.
They were sacrificed, hunted down.
The power of the nightmare race became great, but at the same time, it was so precarious that it wouldn't be strange if it collapsed at any moment.
"Let's be together."
A human from the Middle World, considered more insignificant than the weakest in the Lower World.
The man who devoured the nightmare queen with a youthful face innocently proposed.
[Why?]
Why would an existence that could even harm an Archduke.
Extend a hand to an ordinary succubus?
[Why?]
When she asked back, unable to understand, the man answered.
"Because I see the qualities of a queen in you."
Queen.
An unexpected word.
It would be a lie to say her heart didn't flutter.
"I'll make you the strongest Archduke."
The Middle World. The youma(妖魔) of Earth.
The man who would later be called the Lower World King asserted.
Affirmed.
A dream that had already collapsed once.
He was promising the best position to someone who couldn't find meaning in life.
What more hesitation was needed?
[I will follow you.]
The Archduke who would be recorded as the strongest in the Lower World.
The nightmare queen, an existence who stood by the side of two Lower World Kings.
The user of 'Dream Eating', evaluated as equal to 'Devouring'.
It was the moment when Rozaria reached a turning point in her life.
Why.
At this urgent moment.
This instant.
Why does the memory of that day come to mind?
A surge.
[…….]
Rozaria swallowed back the blood that was about to spill.
Her opponents were the archangels, at the very least those called the owners of the 1st Heavenly Realm.
She couldn't show weakness against those guys.
She stared directly at her opponents.
[A tenacious one.]
It was the Archangel of Protection, Gabriel, who said that.
[Indeed. It's a hard to believe situation.]
It was the Archangel of Divine Eye, Sariel, who said that.
Dream Eating.
A power created by merging the power of mind control and the power of the Lower World King, a power that only the Succubus Queen Rozaria could use.
During the time they faced this ridiculous power, four archangels were annihilated.
Even if six archangels gathered, they could hunt down a Lower World King, but.
Just a nightmare demon from the Lower World.
It was what an Archduke, who was evaluated as the weakest, had done in the mental world.
It was no wonder that Sariel and Gabriel were not just embarrassed but also cautious.
Crack. Crack.
The tentacles' mouths covered the two archangels.
Gabriel's radiance blocked the mouths.
Sariel's radiance pierced the center of the mouths.
Fssssssss.
The Dream Eating that had been fiercely driving the two archangels just a moment ago was released as if nothing had happened.
'Protection' and 'Divine Eye'.
It wasn't a coincidence that they were the only two of the six archangels who entered the mental world that survived.
[My brothers' deaths were not in vain.]
The Archangel Uriel, with the power of summoning.
He cut off the connection between the divine trees of the Middle World and the Lower World with all his might.
Although he was annihilated by the Succubus Queen in the process, the exchange wasn't bad as a result.
Rozaria had bloomed an artificial divine tree to maintain the 'Queen's World', and from that point on, the tide of battle gradually began to turn.
Raphael and Ramiel were annihilated while trying to maintain the archangels' immortality.
It was fortunate that Sariel's azure eye was restored in the process.
Raguel was annihilated, leaving a permanent mark on Rozaria's world.
[The power of the artificial divine tree has decreased a lot. We'll be eaten up before that happens.]
Sariel looked at the giant tree that had grown by feeding on the collisions of battle.
The divine tree.
Its size, which was small just a moment ago, had bloomed to the point where it cast shadows over the entire area.
The source that allows a nightmare demon to use omnipotent power in the mental world.
[This is an unforeseen damage. I heard the Lower World King cherishes this Archduke, who they have had for generations.]
[We have to deal with it here. Otherwise, it won't be worth it.]
[That's obvious.]
There's no way Gabriel wouldn't know.
If they wanted to get out of this place, eliminating the divine tree would be the priority.
Drip. Drip.
Disgusting tentacles were layered around the divine tree to protect it.
The tentacles on the outside were bait.
The moment they approached the divine tree.
The mouths of Dream Eating would pop out from the cracks in space.
Location tracking was impossible, and evasive maneuvers were not easy.
Two archangels had already failed to attack the divine tree and were caught by Dream Eating.
[Experimental attacks without a definite alternative could backfire.]
[It's fortunate that my brothers' sacrifices were not in vain.]
Sariel's azure eye narrowed.
He knew that the Succubus Queen's physical condition wasn't normal.
[The fact that she didn't use this much power from the beginning must have been to reduce the risks.]
Without a doubt.
[Yes. The Succubus Queen will be annihilated at the same time as this place is destroyed. Even if she avoids annihilation, she won't be able to avoid death.]
[If we get out, there will only be a useless Archduke left.]
[Gabriel. We can destroy the divine tree now.]
Sariel said in a confident tone.
They had to seize the opportunity.
They had to seize the right timing.
This space was the last one.
[Brother. What do you wish for?]
[Protect me until I completely destroy the divine tree. I will pour out all my divine power.]
If an archangel-level existence concentrated their divine power, it would be like being in a defenseless state.
[Have you identified the core?]
[Of course. Is it possible?]
[Let's trust the one remaining brother.]
Next to Sariel, who landed on the ground, Gabriel radiated light.
There was nothing easier than targeting a prey that didn't move.
[No one can leave without my permission.]
Crack.
The tentacles' mouths aimed for the two archangels.
[Step back.]
Hwaaa.
The mouths burst open just by Gabriel's command.
The divine power gathered in Sariel's hand changed shape.
The Divine Bow Arcane.
Like Lucifer's Divine Artifact Arrogance and Michael's Divine Artifact Decameron.
The weapon of omnipotence that she received from the One God.
Pazzzz-.
He drew the arrow of radiance.
Persuck.
The tentacle that touched the arrow disappeared.
One shot.
Persuck.
One shot.
Persuck.
One more shot.
Persuck.
The tentacles disappeared one after another.
Rozaria turned the direction of the tentacles towards Sariel.
Crack.
[Where do you think you're going?]
Gabriel's radiance deflected Dream Eating.
Sariel hit the arrow.
All the barriers surrounding the divine tree were shattered.
[This is the last shot.]
He bet on the last arrow.
Crack. Crack.
All the mouths targeted Sariel.
Because if they allowed this attack, they knew the divine tree would be destroyed.
Tens of thousands of tentacles, excluding Dream Eating, were concentrated on Gabriel.
It was a pity to lose this many tentacles, but.
'It's better than the divine tree being shocked.'
Gabriel dispersed the power of protection.
The bundles of tentacles and the mouths of Dream Eating relentlessly struck the two shields.
[Gabriel!! One shot is enough, protect me!!]
Sariel shouted.
Each time, the mouths of Dream Eating came crashing down even more violently.
At that time.
The radiance that had been protecting Sariel disappeared.
Kwaduk!!
The mouth of Dream Eating swallowed Sariel, who had an unbelievable expression.
She wasn't the only one with an unbelievable expression.
Rozaria looked at the spear that had pierced her chest.
[Gungnir. It's Odin's toy.]
Whack.
Blood poured out.
[You….]
Gabriel tracked the traces of Sariel, who was completely devoured by Dream Eating.
[My brother's death is always unfortunate. But what can we do, sacrifices are needed to catch them off guard.]
As if he was truly sorry.
Tears welled up in his azure eyes.
[You crazy bastard….]
[Now, Succubus Queen. Shall we continue the story outside?]
When Gabriel waved his hand, spears of radiance were formed throughout the mental world.
[The Holy Spear Longinus.]
The divine artifact that Michael possessed, that Odin copied, and that was passed down to the Valkyries.
The divine artifact, realized close to the original, tore the space apart.
[Huff….]
He exhaled.
Following his breath.
Whack.
The regurgitated blood stained the ground of the 1st Heavenly Realm.
[We're finally out. I didn't expect it to take this long….]
Gabriel looked around.
He felt his presence filling up just by being outside.
The difference was that, unlike when he entered, he was the only one who came out.
[So… my brothers were annihilated. To apply the things you devoured in the mental world to the outside world as well. That's truly an arrogant power.]
He muttered as if it was someone else's business.
If he hadn't made a bet with Sariel as bait, he wouldn't have been able to come out like this in the end.
Disgust was written all over Rozaria's face.
Gabriel ignored it and raised his hand.
Hwaaaak.
The blessing of the divine tree.
The rising divine power instantly restored his body.
It was as if he had never fought a battle in the mental world, restoring him to his full state.
[The battle is over. It's a miracle that you haven't been annihilated yet. You can be proud of taking five archangels as companions to the grave.]
[…….]
She didn't even have the strength to answer.
Her presence was rapidly decreasing each time she vomited blood.
Her body was collapsing.
'Contractor….'
She thought of Taehyun as she clung to her fading consciousness.
She wanted to make sure her contractor could defeat the Upper World King and return safely.
She didn't want to burden him.
[It's wrong. It's impossible for the Lower World King to win against 'that guy'.]
Whack… Whack….
Blood was being vomited endlessly.
Gabriel continued, as if mocking her.
[What the Lower World King has to face isn't just Raziel.]
Michael was alive.
Even if Kim Taehyun managed to catch the Upper World King by any chance.
He would be hunted down again by Michael.
[The Lower World King's world will be thoroughly mocked and destroyed.]
[Ahaha… ha…. The contractor's mental world… a monster… I underestimated him….]
The Doppelganger was not an existence that could be dealt with so easily.
He was one who possessed the power of the Youma King.
No matter how much it was Michael.
[…It's impossible….]
[It doesn't matter. Even if Michael fails, this body will continue my brothers' legacy.]
He would eat Asmodeus in Michael's place and become the Upper World King.
He would protect the 1st Heavenly Realm.
He revealed his hidden ambition.
He was the archangel that the One God carefully crafted.
The Lower World, which was a discarded possibility.
[Isn't it all the same….]
…Kill…kill…kill….
A blood-curdling laugh flowed out.
[I'll have to cut that tongue off first.]
Kwak.
The archangel's hand grabbed Rozaria's head.
The existence who bore the radiance of the six archangels.
Mocked her magic power.
576
Kwarururu!!
I burned a portion of my existence to summon the demon sea.
Gabriel smiled and released her.
He would wait if there was any more struggle to show.
That's what he was saying.
[The Upper Realm King and the Lower Realm King. The moment the previous Irregulars became Godslayers, it was a destined failure.]
So the brothers, praised as archangels.
Michael.
Himself.
Said they would become beings equal to them and judge the Godslayers.
Whack.
Blood poured out.
He had become talkative since coming outside.
It was an attitude that could be shown because he was confident in his victory.
As she thought.
Superiority was embedded in the blue eyes looking down.
[The only ones with potential were the first seven archangels.]
Just as Michael replaced Lucifer's position.
[Anyone can become Michael, and anyone can become the Upper Realm King.]
In such a future.
[Only those chosen will exist as demons.]
Blue eyes scanned the disappearing grand duke.
[Just like those useful guys like you.]
[…….]
Before I knew it, the blood I had spilled around me formed a puddle.
She opened the gate without answering.
A hundred tentacles containing the grand dukes' powers emerged.
In the mental world, there were ten thousand, hundreds of thousands, millions of tentacles, but only a hundred here.
[A pathetic struggle.]
The tentacles disappeared just by Gabriel smiling.
Mana is flowing backward.
It must be because I put irresistible power into the vile succubus' body.
The body cannot be controlled at will.
It must be a sequela of the battle in the mental world.
Existence is decreasing.
For a moment, I became the Lower Realm itself.
It would be a notification to the succubus.
'It's really strange.'
It's really strange.
Over a long period of time.
From the moment I decided to follow Lilith.
From the moment I was chosen by the Demon King's arrangement.
From the moment I met Kim Tae-hyun and made a contract.
From the moment I ended the territorial war and started the racial war.
'I was ready to accept death.'
Ahaha.
Beyond the blood-rattling laughter, I could see tentacles resisting death.
Dream eating can no longer be used.
So.
Absorption. Crimson mana absorbs the energy of the area.
Reinforcement. Brown mana is added to increase the external force of everything connected.
Haki. Black mana embodies pressure in the tentacles.
Element. Five-colored mana embodies the principles of nature in the tentacles.
Evolution. Deep blue mana reconstitutes the collapsing body.
Rampage. Blue mana increases the power of authority.
Regeneration. Gray mana supports lost recovery power.
Magic resistance. Colorless mana rises to maintain the seven authorities.
Kwaaaa…. Kwarururu…. Tszuzuzuzu…. Hwaaaaa…. Kiii…. Kwaddeudeudeu…. Kkadeudeuk….
Unpleasant sounds like dissonance echoed throughout the area.
The grand dukes' powers engraved on each tentacle resisted the radiance.
The defeat was as good as confirmed the moment the mental world was broken through.
More fiercely than anyone else, I am resisting death.
Why.
'Why am I….'
It was when Rozaria couldn't understand her actions that moved instinctively.
[Look.]
Protection.
Ten tentacles were denied by the power of the archangel Gabriel.
Healing.
Ten tentacles that could not recover by the power of the archangel Raphael disappeared.
Summon.
Ten tentacles were reverse summoned by the power of the archangel Uriel.
Divine Eye.
Ten tentacles scattered and disappeared like hallucinations by the power of the archangel Sariel.
Resurrection.
Ten tentacles withered and died by the power of the archangel Ramiel.
Branding.
Ten tentacles withered by the power of the archangel Raguel.
In an instant, more than 50% of the tentacles disappeared without a trace.
[Judgment.]
It was when Gabriel was about to move her lips.
Crack!!
[……!!]
Ten tentacles were cut into tens of thousands of fragments.
[Radiance.]
Hwaaaak!!
Ten tentacles that touched the light were additionally erased.
Twenty tentacles surrounded her.
How pathetic that figure was.
[Puh….]
A sneer from Gabriel leaked between her twisted lips.
One step, one step.
The last archangel approached her.
[You have eyes that fear death.]
No.
I resented myself for not being able to speak confidently.
[I admit it. Succubus Queen Rozaria. You were the strongest among the Lower Realm species I've faced.]
The last archangel acknowledged.
Hwaaaak.
Radiance itself.
The tentacles burned as Gabriel approached.
[Hiss….]
When he came close enough, it was difficult to even stand face to face.
Despite having wings more brilliant than anyone else, the Archangel of Protection deliberately did not fly.
Just.
[Kneel.]
Kung.
He made the strongest demon he acknowledged kneel.
Absolute command.
It is not a power that can be resisted by someone who has exhausted most of their existence.
Whack. Whack.
Rozaria looked up at her opponent.
'The Last Archangel…. Did he become the owner of the 1st Heaven?'
A spell made using the divine tree of the Upper Realm.
A result of allowing other archangels to inherit the powers each time one archangel was reduced.
Originally, it was something Michael prepared to take the position of the Upper Realm King, but it was returned to Gabriel.
In a short moment, five more tentacles disappeared.
[Should I say thank you? Thanks to you, God has become the Messiah in place of my brothers.]
Burururu.
Just hearing the voice makes my whole body tremble and my blood run backward.
Quack.
Once again, he grabbed Rozaria's head.
There are ten tentacles left.
The battered body was lifted.
[The end for someone who gave birth to the Messiah is insignificant.]
Hwaaaak.
Radiance enveloped Rozaria's body.
It's not an attack.
Tszuzuzuzu.
Using the powers of 'Resurrection' and 'Healing', her disappearance was postponed.
[I'll give you a choice.]
Kim Tae-hyun will be defeated by the Upper Realm King.
The Upper Realm King will be defeated by himself.
The Upper and Lower Realms, which have lost two kings.
Whether the owner of the Heavenly Realm or the grand dukes win.
The Three Thousand Worlds will be plunged into chaos.
[God is not interested in the Lower Realm, unlike Michael.]
So.
[If you obey, I will make you the Lower Realm King.]
If it is himself who has awakened God's power.
[I will stop the disappearance.]
He asserted.
Aha… Ahaha… Hahahaha….
Rozaria shed a laugh.
Even that made it hard for her and her body swayed.
[…….]
[The premise… is wrong….]
Her lips moved.
[…If it's this one's… contractor….]
No matter how long it takes.
He will win.
[…Gabriel….]
You.
You will not be able to defeat the contractor.
Tszuzuzuzu.
Purple mana bloomed in the five tentacles.
The tentacles wrapped around Gabriel's arm, which was holding her hair.
Meaningful attacks are impossible.
Just so that her contractor can defeat the Upper Realm King and have a little recovery period.
'Confine.'
Hwaaaaak.
The last existence resided in the red eyes.
Mind control.
The Succubus Queen's red eyes met Gabriel's.
The power granted by the only God is Protection (守護).
What must be protected is the 1st Heaven.
Among them, what should be prioritized is the divine tree of the 1st Heaven, which can connect with the only God.
The mission was so sacred that there were times when he shed tears.
Even when he learned through the Void Record that the identity of the only God was an existence outside the Three Thousand Worlds.
Gabriel vowed to carry out his mission at the cost of his life out of reverence for the creator.
A small crack formed in his faith with the appearance of Baal.
He did not hesitate to belittle the only God.
A demon who was chosen by the divine tree and dared to obtain the status of an archangel.
The only God is not perfect.
He is just an existence with slightly stronger power.
Archangel Metatron sneered at the rulers of the 1st Heaven.
The crack expanded with Lucifer's rebellion.
The head of the archangels.
The one who was supposed to represent his brothers and receive orders denied the creation of the world.
That means.
It is no different from denying the reason for the existence of the 1st Heaven and the archangels themselves.
He was angry.
He was angry that the one with the most brilliant radiance betrayed his brothers, and that he did not have the power to punish him.
Protection.
For the first time, he cursed the weakness of his power.
But Michael was different.
He gathered his brothers and responded immediately.
He said he would retrieve the divine tree himself.
If he failed, he would be absorbed by Lucifer along with the divine tree, let alone retrieve it.
He volunteered for the disgusting mission while the other archangels bought time.
Michael did it.
He seized the divine tree, judged Lucifer, and took away his power.
Was that all?
He made the survivors of the rebellion Fallen Angels.
He even showed the coolness of flaunting the status of the 1st Heaven by using them as examples.
The 1st Heaven will always be a shield to protect the only God.
He declared so and became the new owner himself.
None of the archangels refused, and none of the Heavenly race denied it.
He was relieved that he could now fully focus on the reason for his existence and act as the Archangel of Protection.
It was a delusion.
When Metatron, who had been silent even during the rebellion, became the Upper Realm King and said he would have a position comparable to the only God, Michael did not deny it.
Rather, he persuaded the archangels.
After a considerable amount of time, Michael revealed that he had been promised the next position of Upper Realm King and wanted to have the same powers as the only God.
Power is needed for judgment.
[To judge the Godslayers, one must become more than them.]
It was a very plausible statement.
The archangels cooperated with Michael.
Thus, they recognized Asmodeus as Archangel Raziel, appointed him as the new Upper Realm King, and watched him dominate Michael's body.
All the brothers of the 1st Heaven allowed themselves to be nourishment for the divine tree.
They rationalized it as an unavoidable choice to become beings equal to the Godslayers.
Even if they had to see their dying brothers in the process, it couldn't be helped.
They rationalized.
And now.
The existence where the powers of the archangels, who should have become Michael, were concentrated.
Omniscience and omnipotence.
Gabriel was convinced that he had become the only God.
So.
[Your words are wrong.]
Kwajik.
One of the Succubus Queen's red eyes burst.
How dare she put his defeat on her lips.
How dare she respond with mere mind control.
[It's blasphemy.]
Kwajik. Perseok. Kwareuk.
Just by looking at it, Rozaria's body was constricted.
The postponed disappearance of the Succubus Queen was resumed.
'I'm sorry, contractor.'
I wanted to allow you to focus only on the battle with the Upper Realm King.
'I ask you, Elven.'
I thought of the versatile Fairy King.
She will lead the contractor to the next place.
I just regret that I am not there with him.
[Your head will be hung in the Lower Realm by gallows.]
Bad taste.
For a guy like this to be the last Archangel.
Contrary to expectations, there is no power to deny it.
[It would be nice to hang the heads of the grand dukes with intact bodies as well.]
Bastard.
[In eternal shame, you will live without dying. Suitable for rebels….]
At that time, when words like a curse continued.
Suddenly, the space was torn apart.
[…….]
Next to Gabriel.
Something battered popped out of the torn space.
I felt a shaking sensation.
When I moved my remaining red eye, I caught a familiar face.
The owner of the familiar face.
Opened his battered mouth.
[Rozaria.]
[Ah….]
Rozaria moved her unmoving lips.
[Transcending the Heavenly Realm.]
[This one has come.]
The Giant King of the battered.
Around him.
The power of the Great Element (大元素) swept.
577
Like a human hand swatting away a fly.
He simply swung.
Despite the brilliance that enveloped his body.
Thwoom.
Gabriel's body, struck by Typhon's hand, was flung away.
Bang.
The archangel, only stopping his flight after colliding with a divine tree, rose to his feet.
[...]
Light.
He looked down at his body, enveloped in blessed radiance.
[How strange.]
As if facing an incomprehensible phenomenon, he did not hide his question.
His current body was from a distant past.
It wouldn't be strange if Lucifer's power, 'Radiance,' blessed by the one God, was fully manifested.
It wouldn't be lacking even if he wielded Michael's power, 'Judgment,' chosen by the one God.
The powers of the eight archangels protected Gabriel's existence.
Anyone who didn't acknowledge him would have to bear the full brunt of the powers' backlash upon touching him.
And yet.
He had blown a god away?
Unless he was insane...
He focused his eyes on the massive figure that could be clearly seen from afar.
A size that seemed to touch the sky alone, strength derived from his adamantine body.
All sorts of elements swirled around him.
[...A fool from the lower realm.]
He easily recognized the newly appeared being.
The giant king Typhon.
Like the fairy king, he was crafted to be on par with the rulers of the celestial realm, but was dropped to the lower realm by the one God's whim.
He didn't know why the creator took such action.
But what was certain was that he possessed the potential to grow into a ruler of the celestial realm if given the chance.
[...]
Gabriel scanned Typhon's massive body.
Even the word battered seemed insufficient.
The price for forcibly entering the 1st celestial realm.
The muscles, once called adamantine, were torn apart, revealing bone, and the hand that had struck him was shredded and unable to regenerate.
In his other hand, he held the succubus queen, who was in a state not much different from his own.
Originally, this was as much as an archangel could discern with their eyes.
The power of the divine eye.
Piercing blue eyes scanned the front.
Divine power was interwoven around the damaged body, and new energy was blooming.
God-demon power.
The reason why the battered giant king was still alive.
And also.
The reason why the demon of the lower realm could slowly but surely recover his body.
[I thought you went to the 4th celestial realm. Did you gain some sort of enlightenment there?]
There was no answer to his question.
The power of the divine eye scanned the remnants of divine power left in the giant king's body.
Gods Nastika and Astika of the 4th celestial realm.
God Demigod of the 3rd celestial realm.
God Olympus of the 2nd celestial realm.
Among them, the divine powers of Gandharva, ruler of the 4th celestial realm, Demigod Lord, ruler of the 3rd celestial realm, and Zeus, ruler of the 2nd celestial realm, remained strongly.
These were not traces that could remain from a few exchanges.
They were marks that could only be engraved by risking one's life.
And the giant king had survived and was here.
Having thought that far, the corners of Gabriel's lips rose.
Even though it was hard to recognize his features anymore, radiance emitted a stronger light as if representing his emotions.
Like the saying "a chicken instead of a pheasant."
He recalled the proposal that Rozaria had rejected once again.
That was why he tried to talk to the intruder once again.
[If you were in perfect condition, you might be called a ruler of the celestial realm, but what is your current state?]
[Did you take care of Gandharva and Zeus?]
[How did you break through the barrier of the 1st celestial realm?]
[How did you come to handle god-demon power?]
He asked several times, but no answer came back.
As if he didn't care about him at all.
He checked the state of the succubus queen.
[To turn your back on a god in front of you.]
Hwaaa.
Chains of radiance were created in Gabriel's hand.
Chains of divine binding.
When he injected power into them, they became elastic like a whip.
The power of the mark would be activated the moment they touched, and he could expand them to the end of the 1st celestial realm if he so desired.
If the target was a giant body at that distance, it was impossible to miss.
He swung it lightly.
Thwack.
Blood splattered.
Thwack.
Flesh splattered.
Thwack.
Bone fragments hidden in the torn muscles splattered.
Even after three lashes, the giant king did not look back at him.
[Sacrilegious.]
Thwack. Thwack. Thwack.
As Gabriel's hand moved, fragments of flesh were torn away.
But Typhon did not move a single bit.
[...Rozaria. You're badly hurt.]
Typhon muttered, looking at the succubus queen in his hand.
If his own body was crumbling from the outside, Rozaria's body was collapsing from the inside.
No, it was a miracle that she was still alive.
He checked the remnants of divine power imprinted on her body.
Gabriel.
If the last archangel hadn't intervened, she would have already perished.
His red eyes saw the ten magic stones formed by the succubus queen.
He saw the broken, unsightly fragments.
The magic stones that fully contained the powers of the nine archdukes and the lower realm king.
Every single one of them was broken and fragmented, and none of them were functioning properly.
All that remained was the magic power residing in one tentacle.
If he could safely escape with her and fuse her with the divine tree, she would be able to continue living.
She wouldn't be able to use the archduke's powers anymore, and there would be various restrictions, but.
She could live.
She could survive.
Wouldn't that alone be meaningful enough?
No.
That couldn't be possible.
If she was a being obsessed with survival, she wouldn't have followed him all the way here in the first place.
[You will use your powers after all.]
The cracked magic stones would tear her existence to shreds from within.
The image of that made Typhon's heart ache.
Rozaria struggled to move her lips.
[...Typhon. Why... are you here...]
He should be in the 4th celestial realm.
How was he in this 1st celestial realm?
Even though she couldn't finish her sentence, it wasn't hard to guess its meaning.
Typhon burst into his characteristic hearty laughter.
Unlike his intention, he heard a sound of phlegm and blood.
[Hehehe... I took the heads of the guys who were bossing around in the 4th, 3rd, and 2nd celestial realms, so wouldn't it be the 1st celestial realm's turn next?]
[...]
Rozaria was at a loss for words at Typhon's words.
If that was true, then the 4th to 2nd celestial realms would soon be concluded with the lower realm's victory.
Even if she perished.
If it was Elven, he would be able to take over the archdukes and cross over to the 1st celestial realm to stop the advance.
[Ah...]
She let out an excited moan without realizing it.
As if he read her thoughts, Typhon shook his head.
[You shouldn't think about the fairy king's support for the time being.]
The barrier formed in the 1st celestial realm had thickened.
Even just sending one of him required sacrificing the existence of the 2nd celestial realm's ruler.
Unless it was someone with his level of adamantine body.
He asserted that there wouldn't be any existence left while crossing the gate.
The hope that had been rising turned into despair in an instant.
[...I see...]
Just as Rozaria's face hardened.
Thud.
[...?]
A red liquid fell on her face.
[Typhon...?]
Blood was flowing from the laughing giant king's mouth.
[Hehe... This old body is slowly reaching its limit.]
He thought he could hold on a little longer after awakening, but the angel's touch was rougher than he thought.
He muttered incomprehensible words.
In that moment.
[...!!]
Rozaria's one remaining red eye widened greatly.
She had forgotten because she felt a sense of comfort from the moment she faced Typhon.
The existence of the archangel she was dealing with.
[Typhon...!! This place is...]
[Hehe... This old body needs to say hello to the owner of this place. Recover until then.]
[...No... You...]
[Don't worry. I won't die before you.]
With those words, Typhon's figure disappeared.
[No... Typhon...]
Rozaria, left alone in the giant king's inner world.
Struggled to move her body in the collapsing world.
Thwack.
Typhon moved his body and grabbed the chain of binding.
Just grabbing it drained his existence.
To think it had this much influence even while evolving his power.
[Stop it. It hurts.]
Rozaria was no longer in Typhon's hand as he completely turned his body.
[Did you send the succubus queen to the inner world? I heard you don't have that kind of power.]
The giant king's power was 'Element.'
Now he was emitting complex energy to the point where the expression 'Great Element' was appropriate.
[It's already a life that's too late. Even if you leave it as it is, you can't delay its demise. But you are different. The god's proposal...]
Bang!!
[...]
Gabriel looked at the giant's fist blocked in front of him.
[So you're the one who stole her eyes.]
God-demon power surged along with the power of the Great Element.
The body, which was broken after crossing the gate and battered by the whipping, was quickly regenerating.
He had absorbed Gabriel's radiance with the power of absorption and manifested the power of regeneration.
[Hoo.]
Gabriel showed interest.
It was the same divine might that Rozaria had shown in her personal space.
The difference was that unlike the succubus queen, who had used her powers thoroughly and calculatedly, the giant king was using them instinctively.
[I wondered what the lower realm king believed in to invade the upper realm. The archdukes' skills weren't light. To think he's still alive even after facing three celestial realm rulers, what kind of existence is he?]
[You will be soon too.]
That's what he'll become.
Typhon swallowed his words and swung his fist.
Bang.
A wall of radiance blocked it.
Even so.
Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang.
He didn't stop.
The collapsing fist was regenerated with gray god-demon power, and the lacking god-demon power was filled by absorbing radiance.
[Hmph.]
Typhon clasped his hands together.
The power of reinforcement resided in the stacked fists.
Bang!!
The wall of radiance shook.
That much possibility was enough.
Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang.
The giant king's clasped fists struck down relentlessly.
[Such a foolish attack, just like how you look.]
Unlike his words, he didn't dislike it.
It was easier to handle such simple guys once you broke them.
Subjugate him and make him the new lower realm king.
Such thoughts took root in Gabriel's mind.
He threw out bait.
[If you're doing this because of the succubus queen, there's still a possibility of saving her.]
Stop.
For a brief moment.
Typhon's attack stopped.
The corners of Gabriel's lips rose.
[A new world will be created.]
'Succubus Queen' and 'Giant King'.
He would give the two archdukes the authority to rule the lower realm.
Even if the succubus queen was doomed to perish, he could save her if it was him now.
So.
[Pledge your allegiance.]
He made a sweet offer.
[Take the hand of God. I will make you a world that you are satisfied with, a true apostle of God.]
Gabriel removed the barrier and extended his hand.
New radiance resided in the hand of the celestial realm ruler.
Spell.
Just taking that hand would seal a contract to accept Gabriel's proposal.
[If you refuse, only annihilation awaits.]
Gabriel's lips moved.
[...]
What should he do?
He didn't have such thoughts.
The giant took the angel's hand.
Immense divine power that couldn't be absorbed enveloped his body.
[Well done. You will fulfill your duty as a servant of God...]
Grasp.
The giant's other hand grabbed the angel's neck.
[...You. What are you doing...]
The spell was already in progress.
If he acted like this now, the giant king's existence would be torn to shreds.
[The price for hurting my woman is not light.]
Lightning swirled around the blue-eyed giant king's body.
[Thank you for the recovery.]
The power of the Great Element.
The power absorbed and converted would have been transmitted to Rozaria in the inner world as well.
That would be enough to help her recover sufficiently until the battle was over.
Typhon faced the new 1st celestial realm ruler, whose expression he couldn't read.
Two pairs of blue eyes met.
Having slaughtered three celestial realm rulers.
God-demon power rippled in the blue eyes of the giant king who had reached a new realm.
Having taken the powers of the eight archangels.
Radiance rippled in the blue eyes of the archangel who claimed to be the one God.
[I see.]
Gandharva, Demigod Lord, Zeus.
Rulers of the 4th, 3rd, and 2nd celestial realms.
It wasn't that those guys were lacking.
It's just that.
[You were just stronger.]
Divine Artifact Decameron.
The sword of radiance was swung.
The severed giant king's hand rolled on the floor.
578
The extinct tentacle is recovering.
The recovered tentacle is dying.
A vessel already broken.
Only one tentacle is allowed.
Therefore.
Leaning on a single tentacle, it was repeating regeneration and extinction.
Tzzzz.
[Has Igmun's power recovered... ]
The blood-red magic blooming on the tentacle flickered.
[…….]
Unconsciously, a bitter smile appeared.
Compared to the original power 'Absorption,' it's not even 10%.
No, even 10% is too much.
To put it into numbers, maybe 1%.
Tzzzz. Tzzzz.
Crimson and purple magic mixed, gradually increasing the stability of recovery.
Tzzzzzz.
The fact that a meaningful effect is being seen means that the energy flooding into this mental world is enormous.
It must mean that Typhon outside is deliberately using his power.
[Typhon... what are you expecting from me?]
The powers of the archdukes she had lost were newly imprinted on the tentacle one by one.
The power of 'Regeneration' completely restored the body.
The power of 'Evolution' struggled to hold onto the fading existence.
Besides, the rushing magic, divine power, delayed her extinction.
Thump.
Rosaria, who was moving her body, sat down.
The lower body is repeatedly regenerating and disappearing.
This is the mental world, but the very existence is being erased due to the risk of using dream eating.
[Hiss...]
Concentrating, she materialized the image of her legs.
Frail human legs took a clear shape.
Reconstruct the muscles with the power of 'Enhancement.'
Thud.
One step.
Thud.
Another step.
Striving to widen the stride, she moved forward.
Perhaps she can maintain it for only about a minute.
After that, she will have to repeat the current process.
To only be able to apply this much with such a huge energy.
She realized anew the battered state of her body.
Extinction and regeneration.
After dozens of repetitions, she reached her destination.
The center of the mental world.
There was a huge magic crystal there.
[Hmm...]
Rosaria groaned as she checked the shape of the magic crystal.
A magic crystal is the heart for a demon.
The shape varies depending on the level of handling magic, but it is mostly formed according to thorough reason or instinct.
Typhon is an existence that uses even his own power instinctively.
He would not have a hobby of carving the shape of a magic crystal.
So.
The huge statue visible before her eyes.
The magic crystal, which resembles Rosaria, must also be the result of instinct.
[Really... a fatal giant...]
The magic crystal in the form of a succubus queen was emitting a bright light.
Magic, divine power.
The two energies mixed, pouring out divine magic.
If Rosaria handled the powers of the archdukes through ten magic crystals, Typhon emits a similar output with only one magic crystal.
As if.
[Isn't it like a sacred beast in itself?]
Hehehe.
Rosaria let out a strange laugh.
For an existence of this level to devote his pure affection to her.
To risk his life and challenge the owner of the 1st Heaven.
[What do you want me to do?]
She had already sworn to serve only one master.
[Isn't it too harsh?]
Unlike her words.
There was no hesitation in her actions.
She brought the last remaining tentacle to the magic crystal of the giant king.
Even if it is about to disappear, even if it is someone else's domain.
[The mental world is my specialty.]
Ssssssssss.
Purple magic flowed in.
The change happened immediately.
Kiiiiii-.
Next to Typhon's magic crystal, a magic crystal carved in the form of the giant king was created.
The practical state representing the current Rosaria.
Its size is incomparably small.
Typhon's magic crystal supplemented Rosaria's magic crystal, which was modeled after its appearance.
[I will join you in your battle.]
As if answering the will of the succubus queen.
Kaaaaaa-.
Kiiiiii-.
The two magic crystals emitted a roar.
Thump.
The severed hand of the giant king fell to the floor.
The ground shook, and the balance of the giant king was disturbed.
Flutter.
Gabriel wielded ten pairs of wings to distance himself.
He aimed Decameron at the prey.
[The blood of the giant will be added to the new creation.]
A flash.
The divine artifact was unleashed towards the running giant king.
Bang.
The regenerating arm of the giant king fell once again.
Swish. Swish. Swish.
Bang. Bang. Bang.
The attack and regeneration were repeated several times.
After dealing with the omnipotent succubus queen in the mental world and coming outside.
Now he has to face a guy who is no different from a sacred beast outside.
[This is, wow.]
Gabriel drew a sword in the air.
Cube.
A cube with the same length in all directions.
The power of protection consisting of six faces imprisoned the giant king.
Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang.
Typhon's fists relentlessly pounded the barrier.
[This is a monster that could easily chew up two archangels with its ferocity.]
Gabriel let out a pleasant laugh.
He felt an existence from the giant king that was one level higher than the owner of the Heavenly Realm.
Michael.
Would his brother be like this if he unleashed his hidden power?
Typhon stopped attacking the barrier that would not break.
'The power of the archangel is concentrated on one guy.'
He had known for some time that his body had become like a sacred beast.
Each blow he struck was no different from the techniques of the archdukes at the moment the tribal war began.
'He doesn't even flinch.'
Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang.
He didn't stop swinging his fists.
Since there is a lack of information about the new owner of the Heavenly Realm.
He has no choice but to learn it with his own body.
'I don't have the courage of my brother.'
Clang.
'I don't have the cunning of an elf either.'
All he is confident in is his innate strength and a skeleton that has been strengthened through evolution.
Clang. Clang. Clang. Clang.
He struck countless times.
Contrary to his strong body and skeleton, the impact is building up, but this damn barrier shows no signs of being broken.
[…….]
Had she blocked an existence of this level alone?
He felt complicated when he thought of Rosaria.
'What was I doing?'
He knew she was hiding her power.
He also knew that she would be more helpful in the battle in the 1st Heavenly Realm than he would be.
He knew.
Regret lingered in his blue eyes.
He captured the opponent in his wavering blue eyes.
The last archangel.
Gabriel, the owner of the 1st Heavenly Realm.
An existence who calls himself the only god.
It is impossible to win even if he is at his best.
That's what he was thinking.
[……!!]
Typhon sensed the change happening in his body.
A very small change that cannot be detected unless you concentrate.
[Hehehe.]
He laughed.
[Hahahaha.]
The laughter didn't stop.
[…….]
Gabriel clicked his tongue at the prey's incomprehensible behavior.
[Are you going to try something by going mad? The succubus queen has already failed with that option...]
[You're wrong, owner of the Heavenly Realm.]
Thump.
Typhon's palm touched the barrier.
Tzzzzzz.
Brilliance flowed in through the palm.
Boom.
The giant king's arm, which couldn't withstand it, burst.
It doesn't matter.
It was regenerated.
Boom.
It burst out.
Crunch.
It was regenerated.
Eventually.
Tzzzzzz.
The adapted giant king began to absorb the brilliance.
[I am the giant king Typhon.]
The powers of the archdukes are going wild.
[The archduke of the Lower World.]
The power of the great elements is maximized.
[The brother of the king of the Lower World.]
Thunder.
Zeus's divine artifact was held in the other hand of the giant king.
Moment.
Pazzzzzzzz.
The barrier completely disappeared due to the lightning emitted by the thunder.
He had absorbed the divine power of the barrier that touched the lightning into the thunder.
'Has his control over divine magic become skillful?'
Thump. Thump.
One step, another step.
Typhon approached Gabriel.
The owner of the Heavenly Realm was smiling.
The twisted corner of his mouth was raised to the left.
[Giant King Typhon. You exceeded my expectations. You are...]
[I am.]
Thunder emitted divine power.
The giant body spat out purple magic.
[The strongest spouse chosen by the Succubus Queen.]
Thunder and Decameron.
The two divine artifacts collided.
Typhon's power is 'Element.'
Now, its power has increased more than ever and has become a power called 'Great Element.'
The five basic attributes combine to create various properties.
This means that there are advantageous choices depending on the situation, but it also means that it is not specialized in any one attribute.
A evenly distributed power cannot defeat a power that has reached its peak.
This is a fact that has already been proven through 'Ra,' who lost one eye.
At the time, Typhon's 'Fire' could not defeat Ra's weakened 'Sun.'
Zeus is the same.
He is known as the strongest among the many gods of the Upper World when it comes to handling lightning.
Thunder.
Zeus took a branch of the sacred tree, poured his existence and divine power into it, and Hephaestus created the divine artifact over a thousand years.
The reason why Gilfer, who possessed numerous powers and was evaluated as the strongest demon king of all time, had to be satisfied with just buying time.
When Typhon contacted Zeus, and Elven opened a dimensional gate using him as a medium.
When Typhon embraced Zeus with a pure heart to see Rosaria and crossed the gate.
Typhon had to face one unexpected situation.
Because the gate was opened unstable, he could not immediately cross over to the 1st Heavenly Realm.
The reason why archduke-level beings do not manifest their main bodies in the intermediate world.
The reason why absolute beings do not rashly invade other heavenly realms.
Spatial peel.
That unforeseen situation covered Typhon and Zeus.
He spent 1 second that felt like 1 year.
The flow of time was twisted.
If he didn't take any measures, he would be trapped in the gap of dimensions and slowly die for an eternity.
10 years.
100 years.
1,000 years.
The flow of time swayed arbitrarily as if in a tug-of-war.
This was not a light risk even for the two beings who had lived for an eternity.
[This is such a shitty situation.]
Typhon, who was hugging Zeus, cursed.
He had to go see Rosaria as soon as possible, but he was killing time with this 'lustful lightning old man.'
Zeus smiled as he looked at Typhon.
He understood the situation.
He summoned Thunder with only half of his remaining existence.
He said that he would kill Typhon here, recover his power, and tear through the space.
By then, the tribal war would be over, but he said it didn't matter to him.
Descendants, Heavenly Realm.
He was confident that he could rebuild it anytime as long as he was alive.
In his own way, he said it to break the enemy's spirit, but it became a good hint for Typhon, who lacked control over magic.
[Thunder.]
[……?]
[If I can handle it, won't I be able to tear through space?]
[…….]
Silence became affirmation.
He can cross over to the 1st Heavenly Realm.
It feels like about 1,000 years have passed.
But the flow of time here and there cannot be the same.
It's too early to give up.
The possibility is enough.
Of course.
Zeus did not easily allow Typhon's inflated hope.
[Puhuhu... you're taking the divine artifact lightly. It's not an artifact that a primitive giant like you can handle... Even if you steal Thunder...]
[No one can stop my heart for Rosaria.]
[…….]
[I won't tell you to hand it over quietly. Resist with all your might. I will trample on you and take it away with all my might.]
[Now that I see it... you're not a giant king, but a crazy giant...]
In the gap between the 1st Heavenly Realm and the 2nd Heavenly Realm.
A war began that no one would know.
A 1,000-year battle that started lightly.
A 1,000-year battle that continued with difficulty.
After a total of 2,000 years of battle.
[No, it can't be...]
Crunch.
Typhon, who had stolen Thunder, tore off Zeus's neck.
In a space where there was nothing, he tore off his flesh and devoured it.
And when he wielded Thunder.
Only 2 minutes had passed outside.
579
Looking back.
The real change began when I destroyed the master of the 4th Heaven.
I didn't realize it, but it was similar when I destroyed the master of the 3rd Heaven.
Something.
Change is happening.
It was a feeling I hadn't felt when I made a contract with Taehyun, or when Taehyun awakened as the Lower Realm King.
Spatial displacement.
Spending 2,000 years in a place that was neither the 1st Heaven nor the 2nd Heaven, I realized.
The moment I took Zeus's body, I realized that I had become an existence beyond the master of Heaven, a divine beast.
I could be sure just by holding it.
Ure.
Adding this guy and the power of the Great Elements, I could even tear apart space.
The 2,000-year battle raised my divine power from proficiency to skill, proved my qualifications to wield Ure, and awakened the power of space.
I grew into a force that even my brothers, my fiancé, the Fairy King, the Sun God, and Lucifer had not anticipated.
I will not lose to anyone.
And so I reached the 1st Heaven.
The last archangel, claiming to be the only god.
That's why Typhon was able to stand against Gabriel.
Take away the divine power and demonic power.
Clang.
A metallic sound rang out.
It was the sound created by Ure and Decameron colliding.
Pazuzu. Pazuzuzuz.
Piercing lightning tore apart the realm of radiance.
[Ure.]
Zeus's divine artifact, no less than Decameron.
The giant king is wielding the sacred weapon of the 2nd Heaven's master as if it were his own.
Is that all?
Tzzzzzz.
Pazuzuzuz.
Crimson demonic power bloomed over the scattered lightning.
[Succubus Queen. You haven't been destroyed yet.]
Clang.
With the metallic sound, blood splattered from the giant king's body, repeating regeneration.
He is enduring with the power of the 'Judgment'-born strong body, regeneration, absorption, and enhancement.
At the same time, the demonic power imbued in Ure relentlessly constricts the archangel.
Demonic power for attacks using Ure, and magic power for defense using the strong body.
[The switch between offense and defense is too perfect.]
Gabriel's blue eyes read the hostility in the crimson magic power.
He realized that Rosaria in the mental world was controlling Typhon's magic power.
A joint attack by the Great Duke, who claimed to be the strongest in the mental world, and the Great Duke, who claimed to be the strongest outside.
No matter how much it was Gabriel, a sense of tension that could not but rise bloomed.
Clang.
Ure was sent flying far away by the Decameron imbued with power.
Pazzzzhik.
Ure formed in another hand aimed for the neck again.
[It's certain that Zeus's divine artifact has recognized you as its master.]
Evading the continuous attacks without reply, the archangel clicked his tongue.
[I can guess why you were dropped into the Lower Realm.]
If a guy like this had been released into the Upper Realm, the balance would have collapsed long ago.
Every time the crazy giant king rampaged, the stability of Heaven would have been shaken.
Clang.
Tzzzzzzz.
The Ure that was struck away by Decameron scattered into lightning and tore apart the radiance.
It's not just mimicking the form of the artifact, it's boasting a skill greater than Zeus.
No, it's not just Ure that's scattered.
Grasp.
[……!!]
The giant king's two hands, transformed into lightning, grabbed Gabriel.
To be precise, it seized the barrier of protection that was enveloping Gabriel's body.
[The new master of the 1st Heaven has a long tongue.]
Pazzzzhzhzhzhzhzhzhzhzhzh.
Lightning raged.
Crack.
Cracks formed in the barrier.
He thrust his fingers into the gaps in the cracks.
Crunch. Squeak.
Decameron cut off the fingers that were trying to penetrate.
Instead of the fingers that had not yet recovered, he thrust Ure in.
Clang. Clang.
Decameron relentlessly hammered Ure, but.
Pazzzzhik.
One penetration was enough.
Kwareung. Bang. Kwareureung. Bang.
Lightning flowed into the barrier of protection.
The power of protection, which could not be maintained, was finally breached.
[Insignificant being….]
[Is your tongue still wet?]
Smirk.
Blue magic power swirled.
The power of rampage.
Into the temporarily enhanced lightning.
Bang!!!
The archangel's body was slammed into the divine tree.
Hwaaah.
[…….]
Gabriel looked down at his body, which had no wounds.
Just now.
He.
Had faced death once.
He stared at the fragments of Decameron stuck in the divine tree.
Traces of lightning remained on the divine artifact that could not be resurrected.
[Huh.]
A failed product that the only god barely created.
Had not only pushed back the best masterpiece the only god had created, but had even destroyed it.
He had broken the Decameron of Judgment, torn apart the realm of radiance, and breached the shield of protection.
That a demon of the Lower Realm was driving the celestial race of the Upper Realm into a corner.
That a Great Duke of the Lower Realm was biting at the master of Heaven.
Wasn't it similar to when Baal had destroyed the Upper Realm?
[…….]
The difference was that Typhon did not have the same capabilities as the Baal of the past.
[It means that the gods have the blessing of the divine tree with them.]
Hwaaah.
The fragments of Decameron were sucked into the divine tree of the 1st Heaven.
Divine power enveloped Gabriel's body.
The first complete assimilation attempted in his current form.
The radiance that had been torn apart in the distance instantly pushed back the lightning current.
Crackle… Thwack!!!
Bang!!
The strong body that touched the radiance exploded.
[Hee… Monster is a monster….]
Typhon let out a laugh that only he seemed to understand.
He himself was a body no different from a divine tree.
Rosaria was helping him use a huge amount of power.
But when the divine tree of the 1st Heaven intervened, the situation instantly reversed.
Kwareureung!!!
He repelled the radiance that was pushing in by releasing lightning.
He 'absorbed' the surrounding divine power to 'enhance' the power of 'regeneration'.
[Divine and demonic power. It's a great power, but with such an overwhelming difference.]
Doesn't it seem like a god is tormenting an insect?
At Gabriel's will, the divine tree, a long branch, was aimed.
Knocking down the enemy with the enemy's strength.
That is the most basic method and means of breaking the prey's spirit.
Tzzzzzzz.
He maximized the powers of 'Rampage', 'Regeneration', 'Absorption', 'Evolution', 'Great Elements', and 'Enhancement'.
The giant king closed the distance with movements that did not suit his massive body.
[This is just, wow. How much more are you going to surprise the gods?]
Gabriel's blue eyes shone.
Unlike Lucifer, who had fallen and lost the power of radiance.
The giant king in front of him was wielding both the power of the master of Heaven and the power of the Great Duke, and had surpassed his limits several times.
The Succubus Queen and the giant king.
Weren't they both existences that were worthy of being called the Lower Realm King?
Bang.
The Ure that the giant king threw was blocked by the divine tree's barrier.
The divine tree's branches entangled the giant king.
[You should be able to use divine and demonic power too.]
Typhon, bound, asked as if throwing it away.
[Gods do not rely on such tricks.]
[Hehehe….]
To think he was annihilated once by the power he calls a trick.
He laughed at the other's arrogance.
He wondered where Lucifer's personality, which crushed the pride of the Great Dukes, came from.
[Now that I see it, it was a characteristic of the angels.]
Crack. Crack.
The power of the divine tree's branches to bind grew stronger.
[I will no longer make suggestions.]
[I will no longer accept suggestions.]
[…….]
[Hehehe.]
His brother, Kim Taehyun, had repeatedly said.
That the part where the weaker can break through in a disadvantageous situation is the other's arrogance and pride.
That's why Typhon is opening his mouth in a way that doesn't suit him.
The moment Gabriel was not using divine and demonic power was the first opportunity.
Kwareureureu.
Thunderclouds gathered above the divine tree.
Kwarung!!!
Pazzzzhzhzhzhzhzhzhzhzhzh.
In both bound hands.
Two Ures were formed.
Tzzzzzzz.
The divine tree absorbed the two Ures.
Not only that, but it cut off both arms and legs.
Radiance prevented regeneration.
Bang. Bang. Bang.
Typhon's head turned this way and that by Gabriel's fists.
The strong body was crushed by the angel's punches.
Not only regeneration, but healing was not taking place.
Typhon thrust his head towards Gabriel, but.
Bang.
The barrier of radiance blocked it.
Thwack.
A sharply sharpened branch pierced Typhon's chest.
[Keu…uh….]
A reverse flow is occurring.
Gabriel's divine power began to penetrate into the mental world.
He doesn't avoid it.
He doesn't block it.
He accepts it.
He activated the power of absorption to absorb the divine power of the divine tree.
[Insolent.]
Bang.
One of Gabriel's blue eyes burst at his gesture.
His vision was halved.
Even so.
Tzzzzzzzz.
Typhon did not stop activating his powers.
He seemed to hear Rosaria shouting something.
Crackle.
He seemed to hear the sound of the magic stone in the mental world cracking.
Divine and demonic power is flowing in reverse.
He doesn't care.
He rampaged all his powers.
Crackle.
He heard the sound of the magic stone shattering.
No, did he feel it?
In his one remaining blue eye.
He saw Gabriel's distorted face.
Keu…hehe…hehehe….
A blood-curdling laugh escaped.
He raised his head and looked at the blue sky.
Kwarung!!!
Lightning struck.
Kwarung!!!
Not ordinary lightning.
Kwareung!!!
What was striking down was Ure.
Kwarung!!!
The power that burns his existence to use.
Kwareung!!!
[…strike.]
Kwareureung!!!
[Keep…striking….]
Kwareureureung!!!
At some point.
He realized that Gabriel was uttering profanities.
Typhon's smile deepened.
Thud.
Several of the archangel's wings were torn off.
The fallen wings signify apostasy, which is the greatest humiliation for an archangel.
[……!!]
Thwack!!!
Gabriel's hand extinguished Typhon's one remaining blue eye.
Darkness descends.
The divine tree's branches crush his body.
Even so.
The raised corners of his mouth did not come down easily.
Rosaria was in front of him.
[Typhon.]
[Have you recovered your energy?]
He had absorbed a considerable amount of divine power in the battle with Gabriel.
He sent most of it to the mental world to use in restoring Rosaria.
[As expected. With my own strength, I was only able to delay destruction.]
It would have been different if it was Elven.
He clicked his tongue at his own patheticness.
[Why is that? I am already….]
[Stop with the obvious words.]
Such things are not important between them.
He just moved as his body followed.
Typhon laughed heartily.
[I am sorry. I am powerless…and I have driven you to death….]
Thud.
[…….]
The giant king's thick hand touched Rosaria's head.
[I have already had an unparalleled dream.]
Two pairs of eyes, shifting between blue and red, met.
[Survive for my share, Rosaria. And help my brother a little more.]
Typhon poured the energy floating in the mental world into Rosaria.
[Wait…Ty….]
It was a power injected through an unexpected route and size.
Thud.
The queen's consciousness, unable to withstand it, was cut off as easily as being powerless.
[…….]
He quietly looked down at the succubus who had collapsed as if embracing him.
Crackle.
The cracks in the mental world that had begun to collapse broke the silence.
[Thanks to you. I had a sweet dream.]
Hehehehehe.
Typhon placed Rosaria on the floor.
In that short time, 50% of the mental world had collapsed.
El---ven---!!
He called the Fairy King's name.
Space shook and tore.
Not caring.
Once again.
El---ve---en---!!
He shouted the Fairy King's name.
Magic power spread to various parts of the collapsing mental world.
Divine power spread.
Divine and demonic power spread.
It was when 60% of the mental world had collapsed.
In the cracks of space, a familiar presence was detected.
Kwaaaaaa.
In the blink of an eye, a gate was created.
Elven appeared, looking exhausted.
[You crazy!!]
Puh heu heu heu.
[Your habit now feels endearing.]
Typhon, sitting down, laughed.
[This is not the time to say such things!!]
Elven hurriedly released magic power.
To slow down the speed at which the mental world was collapsing, even a little.
[There's no need for that, Elven.]
[You….]
[I didn't call you to run away.]
Confirming that 70% of the mental world had collapsed, Typhon stared into the Fairy King's eyes.
[I will catch the master of the 1st Heaven here.]
So.
[You become the new master of the 1st Heaven.]
580 Episode [What…?]
Typhon chuckled at Elven's question.
As if there weren't many times he could laugh like this.
Hehehehehe.
Hahahahaha.
Typhon poured out laughter without restraint.
Unlike the laughter, his eyes were fixed on the collapsing imaginary world.
Colorless magic power.
Colorless divine power.
Colorless divine-demonic power, a mixture of the two forces.
Elven, who was handling all the divine beasts of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th realms, was doing his best to stop it using the powers of great magic and great divinity.
Even so.
'Is it 70%?'
Typhon's imaginary world was only being delayed from collapsing by that much.
If he hadn't reached the level of a divine beast, it would have already disappeared.
Hehehehe.
'A monster is a monster. As expected.'
Does the divine beast of the 1st realm have a different level?
In terms of sheer numbers, this side is far ahead.
To be struggling to subdue even one divine beast used by Gabriel.
[Elven. There's no time.]
[Are you… serious…? It's not too late. There will be permanent damage, but for the imaginary world, both Rozaria and you….]
[Enough.]
Typhon's gaze shifted from the cracks in the imaginary world to Elven.
[If we let that guy go alive from here.]
Clearly.
[The battered brothers won't be able to handle it.]
No.
[Even the brothers in perfect condition might have difficulty.]
Gabriel, who calls himself the only god, certainly possesses such power.
The guy who has become one with the divine beast has the ability to fight both the weakened Upper Realm King and Lower Realm King at the same time.
What to say about the battered owner of the Celestial Realm and the Archdukes.
[Right now. That guy is probably drunk on victory.]
No, he definitely will be.
Now is the right time.
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity created by sacrificing Rozaria and his own existence.
[Once even I escape.]
Typhon emphasized the word 'escape'.
[That guy will become a monster that no one can handle.]
The brothers will be defeated.
In the end, the Lower Realm will be defeated.
Elven.
[Surely my life isn't more important than the survival of the Lower Realm, is it?]
[…….]
At Elven's silence.
Wahahahaha.
Typhon raised his laughter, no longer holding back.
[That's answer enough. I'll say it again, now is the chance while that moron angel thinks he's subdued me.]
Binding him in a state of synchronization with the divine beast was his own plan.
Letting the imaginary world collapse is bait to lure him in.
He has a comrade in his imaginary world who can traverse dimensions.
The angel's defeat, who failed to consider all of that, is as good as confirmed.
[…….]
It was a level-headed judgment that was hard to imagine from the usual Typhon.
He mentioned the aftermath, speaking for the speechless Elven.
[That guy is immortal and can't be killed. But using that much power outside comes with risks. His power isn't infinite either. Without the support of the divine beast, there's definitely a limit.]
In other words.
[Before he revives, you must seize the divine beast of the 1st realm.]
[But just once is….]
No matter how much she is protected by the divine beast, the chances of failure with just one opportunity are high.
[Don't worry. I don't intend to kill him just once.]
[…….]
[Hahahahaha… It's an attack made by staking my life. I'll kill him at least dozens of times. That means you'll have dozens of chances.]
He said he would use his own body, which is no different from a divine beast, to undo Gabriel's complete synchronization.
In that gap, seize the divine beast of the 1st realm and completely destroy it.
Why.
[Why go so far? Is it for Rozaria's revenge?]
Elven looked at the fallen Succubus Queen and asked.
She has already suffered permanent damage.
Typhon is also suffering permanent damage.
It won't be the same as before.
Disability.
Is that how humans express it?
Even so, that's all.
If they want, he can provide them with an imaginary world.
He can help them be comfortable there.
They have been the biggest contributors in this race war.
Now, no one will throw stones at them even if they want to spend their remaining years in comfort.
No, he will personally tear apart anyone who throws stones.
And yet.
The giant in front of him is kicking away the chance to fulfill the wish he has always longed for.
Hehehehe.
[It's love. A more sublime feeling than what you felt for the dwarf brothers.]
[…You crazy bastard.]
[That habit of yours is starting to feel endearing. Start it. We really don't have much time left.]
80%.
While they were having meaningless conversations, 80% of the imaginary world collapsed.
Elven silently pushed the unconscious Rozaria into the gate.
Click.
As she snapped her fingers, the branches of the divine beast of the 2nd realm spat something out.
Thud.
A weapon in the shape of a giant scythe was placed in Typhon's hand.
[Divine Artifact Gae Bolg. It's something found in the 2nd realm. I heard it was a divine artifact used by Zeus's father. You should be able to handle it now.]
[Hehe. I can feel a divine power no less than lightning. Even if I disappear, I can survive well enough within the divine beast.]
Elven turned back to the gate.
[I'm counting on you, brother….]
[Brother?]
He knows she has never said that to anyone before.
In the final moment, an incongruous word.
Typhon's laughter deepened.
[Fairy King. My brother. Thank you for your hard work.]
That was the last greeting.
When he reopened his closed eyes.
What was reflected in his regenerated blue eyes was not the scenery of the imaginary world.
Before his eyes was the Archangel who still hadn't grasped the situation.
Gabriel's two eyes were facing the blue eyes.
[Do you still have the strength to regenerate?]
At Gabriel's will, the divine beast was about to gouge out the giant king's eyes.
[Stop.]
Thud.
The approaching branches stopped.
The radiance that was slashing like blades stopped.
Absolute command.
[Wasn't it you who synchronized me with the divine beast? Why are you so surprised?]
Click click click.
[…….]
To think a prey would dare to use absolute command on the owner of the 1st realm.
[How far are you going to mock God? You devil.]
[How far are you going to disappoint me? Angel.]
The branches that were attacking stopped, but the branches that were binding his body did not loosen.
This is the difference between complete synchronization and ordinary synchronization.
It doesn't matter.
Since the movement of his body is unnecessary for what will happen from now on.
[You said you would tame me?]
At the end of the bound arm.
In the regenerated arm, 'Lightning' was held.
At the end of the bound arm.
'Gae Bolg', summoned from the imaginary world, was held.
Hehehe.
[You said you would make me a pillar of the Celestial Realm?]
Squeak.
The branches of the divine beast bound Lightning and Gae Bolg.
But Typhon did not resist.
The two divine artifacts naturally synchronized with the divine beast.
He must be thinking of using them as nutrients, just like he absorbed the fragments of the Decameron.
Like he digested the Archangel and the other Celestial beings as nourishment, he must be planning to digest my body as well.
Hehehehe.
[You said you would hang my woman, Rozaria, as an example?]
Hahahahaha.
The intensity of the laughter gradually deepened.
[You're wrong, you angel.]
Rustle rustle rustle.
One of the blue eyes turned red.
[You will disappear here with me.]
Gabriel's two eyes twitched.
He sensed something ominous.
Eight authorities belatedly wrapped around his body.
Among them, he poured most of his divine power into the authorities of protection, healing, and resurrection.
Even if he disappears, he can be resurrected several times.
Omniscience and omnipotence.
If he wants, even regression, which only the one true god can handle….
[Are you scared?]
[…….]
[An obvious provocation. It was Kim Taehyun's specialty.]
[Brothers are alike, they say.]
The word brother made his thoughts clear.
If he regresses, he doesn't know how the current reality of being the last Archangel will change.
He will not regress.
No matter what tricks the giant uses.
He just needs to be resurrected several times.
Even if his vast divine power runs out, the divine beast will not abandon the owner of the Celestial Realm.
Typhon's body began to struggle with the divine beast's divine power.
Using his own body, which is no different from a divine beast, as a medium.
Using the two divine artifacts held in both hands as a medium.
He was stimulating the divine beast of the 1st realm.
[Foolish guy… To think you chose mutual destruction… What a pathetic end.]
Gabriel said a few words with a confident face.
Well.
I wonder.
Looking at the Archangel who could not imagine his own demise.
Typhon burst into his signature hearty laughter.
Hahahahahaha.
[Love is an explosion.]
If there is an afterlife.
I'll go ahead and wait.
My woman.
[Ro-za-ri-a-!!]
Another divine beast, synchronized with the divine beast, exploded.
The explosion was repeated exactly ninety-nine times.
And Gabriel had to repeat the annihilation and resurrection ninety-nine times.
There was a tremor in the world.
"……."
[…….]
Taehyun and Asmodeus stopped their desperate attacks.
They had already fallen so far that they could no longer exist as the Lower Realm King and Upper Realm King.
Taehyun could no longer handle Devouring, and Asmodeus had lost the power of the Demon Dragon and degenerated.
If they were to go outside, they would have the chance to recover their strength.
But neither of them made that choice.
Because they know that something has changed outside.
[How long are you going to keep at it?]
Asmodeus.
He took the form of a Great Demon and raised his claws.
Click.
Taehyun twisted his blood sword and deflected the thorns aimed at his body.
Just deflecting the attack in the Great Demon state made the hand holding the blood sword tremble.
[It seems you can't use Devouring anymore.]
Asmodeus's red eyes curved like a crescent moon.
"Don't say things like that so carelessly, or you'll die. Don't you know that if you degrade here one more time, you're out?"
At the mockery, the Great Demon laughed.
That mouth.
How many demons and celestials have been toyed with by that hateful mouth until now?
[Don't bluff. There have been chances several times so far.]
It was bait thrown at the risk of his life.
[Kim Taehyun.]
This hateful guy.
[There's no way you would miss such bait.]
So.
You are now.
No longer.
[You cannot use the authority of the Lower Realm King.]
Congratulations.
[How does it feel to be a mortal again?]
Smirk.
The corners of the Great Demon's mouth rose.
Confident red eyes stared at the blood sword Taehyun was holding.
Tsszzzzz….
The blood sword, which had been facing the thorns in succession, could not withstand the accumulated fatigue and disappeared.
He just needs to pour in a little magic power to recover.
He just needs to pour in a little magic power to recreate it.
But the current Kim Taehyun does not even have that much energy.
[I succeeded in degrading the god who was close to perfection into a Demon Dragon, demoting him to a Demon King, and even dragging him down to a Great Demon.]
Asmodeus spread his thorny arms.
[Look at your current state.]
A human who has lost all power as the Lower Realm King and as a contractor of the Archdukes.
The authorities of the Archdukes, who gave Taehyun infinite power in the Queen's World, stopped working a long time ago.
Just now, Igmun's authority was the last authority used meaningfully.
All that remains is the authority of the Succubus Queen, who maintains the Queen's World.
[Mental domination used with a human body is impossible.]
Asmodeus's thorns were drawn towards the empty air.
[With a human body. Isn't there a limit to maintaining the current world?]
Cracks began to appear in the drawn empty air.
Asmodeus, who had shed his divinity as the Upper Realm King, whispered lowly.
[Are you pinning your hopes on the dwarf you left in the Middle Realm?]
"……."
[Are you hoping that the other Archdukes of the Celestial Realm will save you?]
"……."
[You're wrong.]
Just now.
[Gabriel has disappeared.]
"……."
[It's time to go outside now.]
Kim Taehyun. Human. Insignificant.
[Prey.]
Thud.
The Great Demon's thorns.
Pierced Taehyun.
