Demon King
Chapter 169 Black Month [6]

[Government. Reigning. Reign!]

The black moon rebelled against me, pouring out evil thoughts on me. But I was already standing on the top of the underground. If I want to go further, I have to step on it and climb on it.

“Why keep fighting?!”

[Government! Reign! Reign!]

This is why heaven is trying to attack me. They felt that the Demon King, who was filled with Gluttony and Greed, would not be satisfied with just crawling on earth. He will raise his head to the sky. Heaven reacts violently to the creature's coup, working hard to trample on our lives, emotions, and desires. The world has collapsed, my past and my future are destroyed. All that was left for me was the goblin's body and the hidden fury of lost desires that brought me here. To fix everything.

When I face the black moon, I am sure. If I want to go up there, I have to devour it first.

[Government! Reign!]

The wolf's wide-open jaws began to gnaw at the black moon. Every time the hole was torn apart, and each time it reduced bit by bit, a shock shook my body. No matter how much I get back, compared to the black moon that is part of the sky, the difference is simply too great. Despite building the Tower of Destiny to overcome it, the shock was still felt. I felt miserable, thinking I felt the most extreme pain before. I was still a frog struggling at the bottom of a well, unaware of the power that was above me. But, in a sad way, I have survived so far.

Goblin, wolf, troll, spider, ogre, elf, angel, Lucifer. I ate all those who fought beside me and stood above them all. I have designed this tower with the aim to survive and draw everyone below me underground. Am I really going to kneel down in pain now?

[Government! Reign! Reign! Reign!]

“Shut! Quiet!” Echoing with my shout, the tower shook violently, and the wolves formed by Gluttony swelled up. A huge hole tore through the moon.

[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!]

The evil desire that resounded in my head had been lifted, replaced by a scream of pure pain. Is this person just like my other prey?

[Ohhhhhh!]

It was the scream of a child being burned for the first time. It reverberated around me, triggering my burning appetite. The wolf ran wild, taking bites that were getting bigger and bigger. The number of holes in the moon is growing.

[Ohhhhh!]

“Without leaving a single crumb, I will devour all of you!” The government that the black moon so desperately wants, I will achieve it. As long as there is something above me, I will not be a ruler. Just because I can eat things weaker than me doesn't mean I can rule. I had to eat all the things stronger than me and reach the highest point I could so that no one could bully me.

[Kha. you, you, destiny, the damned. People in desperate need endlessly .. stray from reason ..!]

“Now will you finally face me?” Is this a fragment of celestial will left inside the black moon? Or are they directly connected? Doesn't matter.

[Your endless greed will bring destruction. All reason and providence will be destroyed, leading you and everything around you to death.]

“You've done that.” I endured the pain and gritted my teeth. This is a truly shameless man.

“But it will be different from now on. Everything will change.”

“That's no different from the world we've experienced so far!”

[Ohhhhhh!]

The wolf roared ferociously, anger filling him as he dashed right into the middle of the moon, drilling a hole into it and silencing the moon for a moment. That was a critical blow.

“Kuh... haha..!” I was the one who groaned, however, filled with too much mana. The surge of mana struck me with more force than I gathered against Lucifer, threatening to disperse my soul. I desperately grabbed it.

[Groaaaaa!]

The wolf did not stop, swallowing the black moon even more ferociously. The pain swelled as mana increased, my body spinning in the air like a puppet as I tried to receive energy into my body. The primitive feelings of greed, jealousy, and wrath remained where the pain took me. The tower below me shook violently as if it would collapse at any moment. It persisted, however, keeping me awake.

[Fall down. what to do.].

When I looked up, there was only a dark underground sky in front of me. The black moon was nowhere to be found, completely consumed by me. The wolf lost its power, after completing its mission, and scattering into the air. Once again, a huge shock shook me as the power that formed the moon was completely absorbed into me.

“Kak... kuha..!” I don't know if it was just laughter or moans leaving me. Despite the pain, I was filled with excitement for finally managing to face my heavenly enemy. How can I be happy? The pain was still raging inside me, showing me growing as it filled me. That's not the amount I can handle with my body right now. Which means it'll kill me or form a new body that can handle it. That is evolution. The thought of the first one was funny to me. Dead because I can't resist what I eat? Me then and now Baal, Lord of Gluttony!

“Hahahahaha!” I could feel it, the power that had been hiding deep within me. I have qualified to get it.

[You are now standing on the ground.]

[Evolution is now possible.]

“Should I refuse ?!” Sensing the great flow of mana within me, I confirmed his desire. I am willing to step into an unknown realm that no one can reach. I thought that which I had inside me was enough, but more mana flowed into me from everywhere. The mana composing underground, which was still sealed, exploded into the air and revolved around me with a black moon full of fury. My body was torn apart instantly by the resulting explosion, leaving only my will and mana in its place.

The tower trembled, synchronizing with which flow it was. It couldn't even compare to a black moon right now, slowly gathering where I formed myself. The mana mixed chaotically without any difference before forming a different shape. Greed, Gluttony, and Jealousy find their territory and begin to take root. Even after busying myself, I still wanted more.

However, it was not the power that ate the most mana. To become a true king, a new power is awakened. My new body was built around the power of the Wrath, the Wrath symbolizing the underground ruler. A body optimized for magic release has been created. Blood is formed from mana, muscles full of destructive power, hard bones, and skin that can not be cut by anything. Jinma's wings emerged from my shoulders, and a sharp, compressed horn of mana emerged from my head. The mana that formed my new body was too dense to be called demonic mana. That's where from a king.

“Whoo.” I laughed as I opened my eyes to examine my new body. I almost resemble the devil of a cartoon, though my skin is paler and softer than any human. I am now standing on the ground.

[You become the Demon King, Satan.]

[You've got Wrath.]

The notification window appeared as if it was responding to my feelings. I could feel the power of Wrath flowing through me.

“I rejected Great Fusion!”

It was a declaration that marked the beginning of our war against Heaven.
