Demon King
Chapter 170 Heavenly Conquest [1]

[Baal (Fate)]

[Satan]

[Magic – 48.019]

[Murka, Predation, Greed, Jealousy]

I sighed while looking at the simple status window. The name Satan has taken the place where my race and level should be, and my skills like Dominance, Reaper, and Magic have disappeared. Of course, his level disappeared well. My magic has also grown sevenfold, a staggering amount. Makes sense, of course. All that. For someone who only grows stronger by killing beings stronger than me, I don't need any of that. All I need is to continue to evolve as I devour the powerful, and I have no intention of stopping with the moon.

“Wow, it looks like it worked.” The sky below the ground had already changed, probably because I had regained the title of demon lord. The remnant of Heaven that had gathered into that black moon had now disappeared.

‘With this, it will be swept away by Great Fusion and disappear in vain.’ What I have done is something similar to Lucifer's goal, though that comparison irritates me. It was simply a natural result of reaching the level of a king and ruling the world. It was probably because the title the demon had given was not a light one, but it was one that the world recognized itself. It was a strange and mystical feeling as the tower and the entire underground world resonated with me. I could feel all the areas that were here, now subject to my control. I could feel the places that were still hiding from me, the night of finding the village of dwarves that were still underground.

The uncontrolled mana flow that filled the underground was cleared, and all the sealed areas until now were put into my territory. I looked down at my world, even more, complete than before Great Fusion.

[You'll regret it.]

I heard a faint voice, the voice of a young woman. It was much different from the voice of the man spoken of by the black moon, but I knew instinctively it was connected to Heaven.

“You will be a sorry person.” I answered cynically. The underground connection to Heaven is destroyed, so I won't be able to hear it anymore. With not a little gratitude for that fact, I slowly descended to the ground. The Tower of Destiny stood dignified above everything else as I descended. For the first time, I understood how far I had gone.

“What a miracle I was on time.” With a bitter smile, I reached the top of the castle roughly around the second floor of the tower where all the demons gathered, including Lilith and the exhausted figure of Mireina.

“Wow...” Staring at me, Mireina let out a small sigh. I was openly in demonic form, and I reached out to touch the horn on my forehead. All those gathered around me were filled with tension and excitement as they waited for me to speak.

“Although everyone already knows ..” Shield Mireina is no longer maintained. I'm not sure if it's because magic is released naturally after they reach their limit, or if it's canceled because they can feel it's no longer needed, but I guess it doesn't matter. What proves that it is not maintained anymore?

“Consolidate. The underground was now completely free from the effects of Great Fusion. ” There was silence for a moment before the demons cheered loudly. I raised my hand awkwardly above my head in front of all of them.

“...We succeeded!”

“We succeeded!”

“Satan!”

“Underground back to its original form! Everything is under the control of Fate now! ”

“I can't feel Heaven anymore!”

Black moon is gone! Satanic cheers contained their hopes for many years, born from their desperate battle against the intrigue of Heaven.

“Ooh, Destiny did well!”

[.. It was beautiful.]

“Katsuragi, quiet. The captain managed to defend the underground. Didn't you really understand since we were together in the first place? ”

[Lee Chan-yu, you quickly understand. ”

“Since the beginning.. have we really been together that long?”

[Not you.]

“No, not that ..” My eyes looked at my sister as she muttered quietly. The demons smiled wide enough to part, but on his face, I could feel the years I didn't know — traces of a long time that I couldn't hide from him. I have to explain one day, but now is not the time. We still have work to do, and I don't intend to confuse him further. Before I could think about it any longer, a woman I could not ignore grabbed me.

“Destiny.”

“You can call me Satan now.”

I hate that name because there's no feeling. Lilith cut off my words of pride as she hugged me. He was filled with fragrant-smelling sweat, having worked hard enough to prop up Mireina's shield.

“Thank you, Fate. You kept your promise. ”

“But underground is beyond the reach of Heaven. He tilted his head on my arm. Before I could answer, Amimon stepped up close, staring at us.

“It is impossible to escape from Heaven. At best, we had just prevented them from bothering us directly. ”

“More or less, yes.”

“What's the difference?” The few demons around him had similar expressions of confusion.

“It's like we've moved from a subordinate relationship to an equivalent.” Belphegor easily provides an easy-to-understand explanation. With that, it sounded as if the air was torn apart with the sound of paper tearing. Slowly, a woman appeared through a hole torn to shreds into the fabric of the world. She was wearing a glowing blue armor that hid her entire body, and she had a beautiful face that shone brilliantly. Several white-feathered wings protruded through the back of his armor. An unpleasant red flag was held in his hand.

[I'm Gabriel. I have arrived to convey Heaven's will.]

The woman threw the flag in her hand directly at me. Catching it, I could see the number thirteen written on it. There's no way I don't know what that means.

“You will attack in thirteen days?”

[O arrogant traitor who has broken Heaven's strong will, lower your head so that we do not cut it together with your soul.]

I smashed the flag in my hand. It contained heavenly power and tried to reject me, but it was possible to wipe it out without a trace. It was funny to see Gabriel's face twitching when he saw it. A deep laugh left me.

“It must be hard for you to get out. Have you brought an offering? ”

[... To fulfill the desire of the heavens, I just have to take a little mana from another being.]

“Hah.” He looked at me grimly as I laughed, but he showed no hostility. He seems loyal to his role as a messenger, but it makes me sick of seeing him pretend to be so noble.

[After thirteen days, Heaven will open the underground and punish him. It's too late. We will erase everything and return to the other world.I will leave now that you understand.].

As Gabriel turned his back on me, I moved lightly. The hole in the air vanished as if swept away. He tried to make another hole in the world, but it closed automatically.

[What does this mean?]

He replied firmly, a long golden stick is now in his hand. He realized that I was blocking his way out.

“War has long started. Did you really think I'd let you tell me that and then come back? ”

[I'm the only angel here now. Do you know what that means? That means all the divine power is being focused on me right now. Satan, do you want to end your existence so easily?]

“If concentrating their strength is so easy, they don't have to wait thirteen days, right?” I smile. Who is he trying to deceive?

[Silly, vulgar.!].

Lilith and the others appeared around me, ready to support me.

This one's mine.

“Fate, I want to expand as well. Can I eat it Yes?” When Lilith and Gremory had a fight, I took Annihilation. From the moment I defeated Lucifer, it began to resonate loudly to me. Now that I have attained the title of Satan, I can feel it has reached a completely different realm.

“No, that's my food.”

[Treating the will of Heaven as food is unacceptable! I will punish you myself!]

Gabriel charged straight at me, but I used my magic to slow his speed down to the speed of a turtle. I looked up and decided to summon the demon that had been with me all this time.

“Halpas, the crow that calls death. Now is the time to stand by my side once again. ” Loyal subordinates who built this castle. The devil who maintains his strong will and becomes a sword. A blinding light filled the castle in response to my call.

[Did?!]

I rushed in a straight line towards Gabriel, who was trying to resist my magic. Even faster than he could open his eyes, Annihilation descended upon him.
