Demon King
Chapter 162 Demon Lord [4]

I want to see the evolution of Mireina, but I don't have the time. I went through some great changes when I evolved before, like when I became a higher entity, but now I am going through an evolution that is not like that. What can I say? The trajectory I drew was different from that of my past self; I did not go back to Baal's past, even though it must have affected me. I am a demon named Baal; after all, I have the same soul.

But it was all mixed with the power of my Greed, Gluttony, and Jealousy. I formed a new self by blending everything I gained with the name and power of Baal. What should not be mixed is cut, where the remaining parts are united under one strong will. Evolution takes place in a realm far beyond suffering. Or rather, the pain no longer made sense to me. The pain was nothing more than a warning of danger to the body, but I went far beyond that. I already have more clear alarms and can be used for danger.

[Oh]

My past body is completely broken, and I can't see it. There's just mana. Where is the boil that makes me know that I still have — which is enough to destroy the sky. The power of my subordinates has been returned to them, so it's all mine. The new mana and soul, divided into two branches, twisted and stretched. They moved with a terrifying momentum as they ate each other, finally coming together and emitting a brilliant glow.

Entities in the lower system have pure physical bodies with little mana but end up receiving more as they grow. The parent entity left that body to form a pure body and soul based on mana. And now I, finding even that difference to be burdensome, am putting it all together. The boundary between body and soul is broken. The body is the soul, and the soul is the body. Now I know why Lucifer tastes so sweet – he is the only complete meal I have ever eaten. The soul and the body are united, just like me.

But there is one thing that has not completely melted into me: that mystery stat, which is filled with question marks. It's always with me, in the name of luck. But maybe it's destiny. I didn't know how it affected me, so I left it unattended, but now that everything else was revealed, the question marks still hidden from me were annoying.

I know now that I have recovered most of my memories as Baal. It's a concept. It is up to me to interpret it. There is still less. The power that bears the name of destiny, or perhaps just bears that name because I named it, is still clearly hidden within me. I don't have the key to open it. As I thought about it, the mana swirling around me stopped and started to form a shape in the air.

That'sme. All the power I have consumed so far gathered to form my image.

“Finally...!” I heard Belphegor's voice, overwhelmed with emotion, and I smiled gently. My face was complete, and I could feel the muscles in my face moving. In a short time, when I did not have the proper form as a being, I felt boundless freedom and frustration. I am free, yet unable to relate to others without my physical form. It is possible to interact with other creatures that some creatures become fixed in the form of matter. With an irrelevant thought, I stepped into the air. For a creature full of magic, it didn't matter whether there was soil or air under one's feet.

[Baal (Fate)]

[Lv 101]

[Magic – 7.875, Destiny – ???]

[Skills – Predation Lv9, Jealousy Lv9, Reaper Lv9, Domination Lv10, Magic Lv10]

[It used to be a great symbol, an underground race grew under the name Baal and wanted to serve him. Belkatina, Belkena, and a few others all came from his blood and inherited his powers.]

[You have successfully reached the root of your race, the greatest bloodline under the moon. By discarding lies and weaknesses, you have gained the strength to stand at the center of a new history.]

[But you have to be quick, because all the great historical records will probably be erased.]

The clue had been there from the beginning: Belkena and Belkatina, beings with my name. Of course, just knowing it won't be enough. Now I have nine levels in Jealousy and Predation, which are the core forces that define me. Since Greed operated on a more fundamental level, it was not determined by the power of skill, but I could feel it in all my words, thoughts, and actions. Moreover, all that was left was my Reaper skill, Domination, and Magic skill.

A mireina?

“Not yet. I don't think his evolution will end in a few minutes. ”

“So..” Belphegor's attitude towards Mireina has not changed, although he is a fellow who will be around for a while, assuming we manage to fight Heaven. It was all because of Mireina's origin as a descendant of the Battlefield. I think of its origin, and of the life and death of Lucifer. As I did so, the light around Mireina began to gradually fade away.

“It seems like there is another me inside me.”

“It means you are using the power correctly. Calm your mind and control it. ”

“Good. I can do that.”

“Hm..?” I felt a bit of discrepancy in him. But I'm not sure if it's because of the great change of his evolution, or because of the way he speaks.

“Destiny?”

“Oh, it's okay.” That's not important. I looked at Belphegor, called out my name and reached out. Everything went according to plan, and we prevented the underground destruction.

“...” I lowered my hand in silence, only now realize the change to the Battlefield.

“Where are we now?”

“Medan War Rookie, of course..Fate Mr?”.

“Where is it located?”

“Earth, right?”

“Ya.” Lucifer, that bastard. I thought I was preventing the Battlefield from becoming an independent world, but it was my fault. Lucifer destroyed the Battlefield from Earth before anything else! It would not be restored even if he unleashed the power of Jealousy.

“From now on, the battlefield will return to Earth..!”

“No, it is impossible because this world has collapsed..fuck!” What I have achieved since becoming a goblin now is of no use. All for his wish of becoming the creator of a new world for that crappy wish! How fast it is, how sad. He would kill L, the only person he cared about, with such a desire. What are we gonna do? Can I use my strength to restore the Battlefield to its original state, and then force a connection with Earth?

“No, there's no way heaven would let this go..!” At first we had three weeks, but now it's been about two weeks. If I fail, it's because of Heaven. Not these!

‘What do I do? What should I do?’ The relationship between the two worlds is broken. The battlefield was no longer connected to the underground and would disappear within minutes. The underground will be gone; all the people I love will vanish without a trace. A cold wind blew through the heart that had been enriched by evolution. My head was empty in the face of this unexpected event. Will it all end like this? To Lucifer, who's dead? Will I finally get down on my knees?

It was then; a thought appeared in a flash of light.

There is a world that can be connected to the underground.
