Demon King
Chapter 174 Heavenly Conquest [5]

The thought of going beyond Heaven did not happen to Lucifer until the moment he perished. What he could barely get was to reach the same position as a god. But why else do you have the power of Pride? The answer is right in front of me.

I can see it now.

[Those who wanted, who took my vessel without realizing it. Those who reach out and reach for what they cannot take.]

Michael, Raphael, Gabriel, and even Lucifer are made up of Heaven. There's no doubt about that. But what I'm dealing with now is a body with a different personality. However, there was no emotion in the great power that was before me: no need to act, no collision, or resistance. Job done? Continue working. Do what you need to do, that's all. The angels call it Heaven, and the warriors call it God. But, after facing it, I only had one thought.

You are just a machine. I murmured as I looked at the enormous mass of energy in front of me. Even after evolving into Satan, I could barely catch him in my field of view. It was almost sad that we had been trembling in fear of it. The god? The paradise? That's not even funny.

[People who transcend Heaven and spew injustice will be removed.]

“What if I die? What about the other demons? ”

[Anyone who experiences injustice is unclean. We will remove everything that is unclean. Underground and Earth.]

I forgot how busy I was, but I still had the inhabitants of the earth under my control. At first, I thought they were only interested in me and the underground world, but they had greater taste than I thought.

“Destiny..!”

“This is more than I could have imagined..!” None of my colleagues could hold their knees from shaking. At least Amimon and Belphegor were still standing, though hardly, before these heavenly beings they could not recognize.

“I'm scared. Frightening..!”

“Fate, do what you need to do! This is the moment we prepared for! ” I look forward to facing it. It was huge to look at; its size and the energy it contained. Seeing her, I calmly repeated Lilith's words.

What should I do. Thas right. If I don't face Heaven, everything I try to protect will vanish. But what is the most powerful emotion I feel right now? Is it a sense of duty or responsibility? No, it was Greed, Gluttony, and soaring Wrath. Since when did my position move me? I just want to eat this delicious-looking food in front of me.

[Deleting.]

As the energy wriggled within me, an enormous mana flowed into my body. Mana unlike anything I've ever experienced before, quickly covered my body, trying to deny my existence. It was the source of power that Heaven used to destabilize Earth and the underground.

“Kuh...” My teeth are tightly clenched. I have evolved to prepare for this power; now, all I have to do is keep myself from being destroyed. The lucky thing is that the bombing of power was only aimed at me. Maybe he was planning to get rid of the others after it killed me. It was really a programmed stupid act.

“But I.. !,” I stepped forward while colliding with the power of Heaven. With each step forward, I use Annihilation to extinguish mana and use Predation to its fullest. However, no matter how far I go, I cannot get close. It made fun of me.

[You can never reach the source.]

He speaks as if he knows everything and reveals the simple truth. That's not even funny. He knew he had to let go of his shortcomings like Lucifer, and he had to create angels to use that energy.

“Destiny! No, Fate! ”

“Do not advance!” The creation? The sources? What was that ?! Nothing was decided from the beginning. Fury flooded my heart. Yes, the only thing Heaven does not consider when dealing with me. My evolution after swallowing the black moon. Power that destroys angels and humans. The name of Satan that accompanies my latest and strongest strength: the mana of Wrath that covers my body. With the Reaper, I forged a new sword from the Annihilation to increase its length. Halpas shouted in excitement as she received the power flowing through her. Heaven may have sensed that something was wrong, but it was too late. My Wrath cannot be stopped.

“Go!” I poured out the dark and intense anger that I had accumulated throughout my life.

[…!]

Huhh! My vision blurred as the shock that threatened to destroy the world sounded. But my body is still there, and so is my enemy. However, it felt blurry and incomplete compared to before. My punch left a mark on it.

“I reached it ..” I laughed, but there was no answer. Instead, it reacted by creating countless angels.

“Ahh.”

“Angels are back, stand up! We have to fulfill our role! ”

[Target bound.]

[Pressing where they are.]

Unlike Michael and Gabriel, these angels are emotionless machines created just to fight us. Hundreds of them were formed from an almost infinite amount of heavenly energy.

Follow the king's orders! They rushed towards me simultaneously, intending to protect Heaven. My comrades, who were barely moving under the overwhelming power of Heaven, began to move forward with clenched jaws.

“I can't die like this.”

[I have to pay the captain.]

[Don't underestimate the devil!]

Mana exploded. In order to overcome the momentum of Heaven, everyone around me increased their mana with everything they had. I wondered if this was what it was like when humans invaded the Rookie Battlefield, driven by their desire to live. If so, I would never be able to laugh at their journey. Thanks to the heavenly beings concentrated on me, they can move forward and use their power again successfully. Although I cannot empower them any longer, their strong desire has been realized.

[They touch the unclean and in turn become unclean. Those who deny the truth and want illusions must be removed.]

I held the pressure and continued. The Aura of Predation contained a strong Greed within it, a desire I had for Heaven long ago.

[Those who want what surpasses them! They take their eyes off!]

Now he regards my powers as a threat, so he tries to overwhelm me with angels. But they can't reach me.

Lee Chan-yu, who increases the mana of all entities under his command. Kain, who stood gracefully in front of him. Katsuragi was behind them, scared to death but kept pushing. My sister was with him. There was Mireina, who was denying Heaven who wanted to attack his soul, and Belphegor, floating in the air and exuding power. Lilith, who infects the angels with her emotions, and Amimon, who protects her. Gremory, who was smiling casually, and Ocean, who was covered in blood. Orobas was filled with a desire to protect me. Finally, there's Batsago, who believes in me more than anyone.

Everyone who arrives in Heaven with me exudes brilliant mana. Their respective desires and feelings clashed with Heaven and forced them away.

“You didn't understand us from the beginning.”

[Deleting.].

We move forward with the power of our emotions. We lost strength because of them before and were constantly chasing them while making silly mistakes. But they are the ones who make us strong. He will never understand, having expelled Lucifer for his inability to accept his pride. The angel who approached me was slowed down by Lilith. Amimon moved to clear them as I moved forward, helping me as best as he could. The pressure kept pressing on me as I trudged along, holding the sword in Annihilation in my hand. I put all my skills into that.

The power of Predation that I have since opened my eyes as a goblin, the power of Greed entrusted to me by Amimon, the power of Jealousy that I received from Lucifer, who was unable to accept his own feelings, the power of Wrath, gained when I got the name of Satan.

[Remove all unclean things!]

I threw myself forward towards the irrational violence in front of me.

“Destiny!”

“No... Destiny!”

The world became white. I felt everything holding me back was destroyed. I could hardly understand the fact that I was being torn down into thousands of pieces.

‘If I die like this?’ It's all over. I can't see Lilith anymore, or hug my sister. I can't pat Mireina on the head or share a glass with Belphegor. I can't fight Amimon or see Gremory's smile. No more joking with Lee Chan-yu, sitting on Cain's shoulder, or educating Katsuragi…

‘No.’ Isn't there one thing I really regret? If I die, I can't eat anything.

‘I can't.’ I opened my eyes. My body was blown to pieces, but it didn't matter. After all, it would be difficult to eat this world with a small mouth. I could not understand the thoughts running through my mind, but all I knew I had to do was eat. I opened my mouth, pouring the Gluttony energy.

“Everything.” I ran towards the food in front of me. Heaven's Will continued to tear me apart, but the more, the more my mouth expanded. It won't give up, and neither will I.

That is the power of Satan …!

“Come, before you get eaten!”

I don't care about the voices around me. I was too busy eating.

“Finally.” Only one simple thought came to my mind, which had been shattered.

At last.

Delicious.
