Mammon stared at the figure, realization dawning. It was himself.
"YOU! Just what do you think you're doing, attacking the main body?!"
His opponent smirked. His aura surged violently as his clothes transford into an awe-inspiring cosmic demonic armor.
At the sa ti, hundreds of weapons materialized from the sa tallic essence that composed this other Mammon. Liquid tal stread toward Erika, Harumi, Frank, and the rest of the Werewolves and Vampires battling Abyss's forces, enveloping them in powerful armor.
"You're just an idiot who lost his path. I will knock so sense into you, and if I have to, I'll take you down and devour you back!"
Mammon clashed against his other self—the true Mammon, brainwashed by the Sun God, and the Mammon born from a fragnt of his soul that had beco a Cosmic Maxima Ego Spirit, now reincarnated in this world as Harumi's brother.
Thanks to Mammon's intervention and aid, the Vampires and Werewolves broke through their fight against Abyss's minions. They tore the enemies to shreds and rushed to support the younger fighters.
Erika and Harumi held their ground against Leviathan's frenzied assaults. They reford their fused Aura, and with Mammon's incredible armor, they now resisted demon-type damage exceptionally well. They began striking back fiercely.
"How about so assists, kids?!" Thyra leaped forward, transforming into a golden werewolf and slashing across Leviathan's face.
"Let us give you so help!" Celene howled. In her werewolf form, she unleashed moonlight magic, bombarding Leviathan with countless beams of radiant light.
"We're here as well! FRANKEN SMASH!" Frankenstein roared. Using his super-muscular body, he punched Leviathan's heads, shattering teeth and jaws.
"Fufu, don't overexert yourselves, everyone!" Dan spread his arms. Black and red fog rolled outward, weakening Leviathan further while empowering all the vampires around him.
"It's ti we do sothing!" Lady Shadow seized control of Leviathan's own shadows, turning them against him. The darkness began to devour and tear his body apart.
"GAAAAAHHHH!"
Leviathan could no longer fight back. His entire form was rapidly ground down. His demonic and angelic powers proved useless against so many foes at once.
The other Archdemons didn't even try to help him. They were too occupied dealing with Frank, Wasp, and Victor, who pressed their assault with unrelenting intensity. Mammon's distraction created the perfect opening to overwhelm the Archdemon of Envy.
"GRRRRR! I AM…! T-THE ARCHDEMON OF ENVYYYYY! STOP…! UNDERESTIMATING —GAAAAAAHHH?!"
Leviathan overflowed with demonic power, but Erika and Harumi charged straight through him. They pierced his demonic heart and ripped it apart.
BOOOMMM!!!
Unable to resist, Leviathan died pathetically. At least his soul remained intact, allowing him to depart peacefully to the afterlife.
CRASH!
"What makes you think you're better than when you're rely a copy?!" Mammon roared. Enveloped in heavy golden armor, he swung massive axes, hamrs, swords, and lances at his parallel self.
"I never said I was better than you," Harumi's brother replied calmly. "But living in this world has truly separated from you. However, I am not willing to let you go like the other Archdemon bastards!" His dark blue cosmic demonic tal reshaped into similar weapons. Both Mammons collided with ferocious intensity.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
CRAAASH!
Their clash forced them apart as cracks spiderwebbed across their armor. They gritted their teeth and charged again, clashing without pause. Explosions of demonic energy and infernal flas lit the skies.
"I have all the wealth you don't!"
Mammon smiled viciously. He began absorbing his vast riches to grow even stronger. His skin darkened to gold; his body grew taller and bulkier, overflowing with demonic might.
At the sa ti, drawing on half of Satan's powers amplified his attack strength to terrifying levels.
"PERISH, FAKER!"
Mammon roared. Sunlight divinity from the Sun God surged within him. Giant golden hands descended to crush his other self, only for Harumi's brother to evade swiftly.
BAAAM!
RUMBLE!
The ground trembled. Mammon scanned around, realizing his counterpart had vanished.
"He's gone? What?!"
"Gone? Not really—just preparing!"
"…!"
Mammon turned to his back. His other self reappeared, overflowing with power. He transford into a gigantic blazing axe and descended, cleaving apart Mammon's right arm, shoulder, and leg.
CRAAASH!
"Nnnggh! Kaaaagh!"
Mammon scread in agony. He collapsed, flattening dozens of skyscrapers and buildings. The impact sent tremors rippling outward.
"W-WHA…! YOU BECA A WEAPON?!"
Mammon stared in shock. That wasn't a power he possessed—let alone one that allowed him to beco such a gigantic, devastating weapon radiating overwhelming force.
"One that has awakened his own Heart Path too!"
FLUOSH!
From Harumi's brother erged a colossal figure of cosmic demonic flas—resembling Mammon's original monstrous demon form, complete with a cow-skull head.
Using his Cosmic Heart Avatar, he swung himself against his true self. Mammon summoned all his wealth to resist, erecting countless barriers while desperately trying to heal.
"Nnnggghhh…! I won't die…! I…! I…! Must worship… the sun…! The sun god…! I…!"
He channeled Sunlight Power and began glowing brighter. The other Mammon struggled to maintain his grip—he was being pushed back.
"Damn it! How could you let that bastard brainwash you, main body?! Don't you have soone else you love more?! Kireina-sama is fighting that bastard, risking her life…! And you…! You son of a bitch, you're here worshipping that disgusting thing?! Who is the one you love, Mammon?!"
Mammon's eyes widened. Deep within his mories, a voice echoed—the voice of the only person who had ever shown him true, sincere love.
"I love you, darling~ Let's be together forevermore."
The only one who had accepted his flaws and embraced him completely.
The only one kind enough to share hell itself with him.
"K-Kireina…!"
For a few precious seconds, Mammon's true body regained consciousness. But the Sun God's power remained overwhelming.
In that fleeting mont, his soul fragnt seized the opportunity. He split Mammon in two. His true body watched as his fragnt clenched his teeth, tears streaming down his face, forced to do this.
"Ah… this is fine too… I was tired of being in hell anyway…"
As he closed his eyes, his soul fragnt rushed forward before he could depart, grabbing him and fusing together.
"Don't die on ! You've got a whole life to live with her, Mammon!"
FLAAASH!
Both Mammons rged. The Authority over Hell vanished, along with all his accumulated wealth.
None of that mattered anymore to the Archdemon.
When he re-erged from the light, his appearance had changed slightly—long blonde hair, gleaming red eyes. He smiled warmly, feeling whole for the first ti.
Feathered wings burst from his back. His demonic traits diminished. A golden halo appeared above his head.
"Eh?"
Through Repentant Enlightennt born from Kireina's love, Mammon had been forgiven and restored to his Archangel form.
He had released his greed.
He had released his pride.
He had released all his worldly desires.
All for the person he truly loved and cared for.
Thus, Mammon beca the first Archdemon whose curse fully lifted, freeing him from its hold and returning him to his forr self.
Or rather—sothing new.
It had rged with his current body: a Half-Incubus Human turned Dhampir by Clentine.
He retained his Demonic Powers through this form, creating a unique hybrid.
He had beco…
"I'm a Nephalem?!"
A being between demon and angel.
Feeling imnse new strength, Mammon nodded. He knew exactly where to direct it—to help everyone else.
"And who the hell are you?! A damn bug?!"
Beelzebub roared furiously as he clashed with Wasp. Both seed evenly matched in raw power. But Wasp moved like a complete maniac—dodging attacks with terrifying speed and landing precise, devastating blows on every weak point in Beelzebub's body. He felt more demonic than the Archdemon himself.
"Gaaaahha?!"
Beelzebub felt a sharp pain pierce his soul as Wasp drove a fist into his guts and hurled him skyward. Wasp's insectoid wings buzzed. He pursued relentlessly, swinging both legs downward in a crushing kick that sent the Archdemon crashing back to earth.
BOOOM!
"Look who's talking."
Wasp crossed his four arms and looked down at Beelzebub's giant insect form.
Beelzebub clenched his teeth, glaring up in rage.
"How co a mortal like you is so strong?! An insectoid race, no less!"
"I am an anomaly."
Wasp dove downward, shattering Beelzebub's barriers. He ignored the swarm of monstrous insects that detonated around him as he pierced straight through with his bare body. He seized the insect's head, dragged him across the pavent, and obliterated his face.
RUMBLE!
He hurled Beelzebub into a skyscraper. The building collapsed completely over the Archdemon's body.
"Weak. That's all?" Wasp asked, gazing down. "Show your true power, King of Flies!"
"TSK! SEE FOR YOURSELF, INSECT!"
Beelzebub channeled every ounce of his power and concentrated it inward. He evolved into a gigantic demonic cosmic beast god, overflowing with black cosmic energy.
His form beca incredibly muscular, with six arms. His body glead like obsidian. A humanoid face erged, covered in exoskeleton, complete with long antennae and four enormous insect wings.
"This is my true power…! Thanks to the Sun God himself, I have broken through my limits!"
"Hoh, let's see then."
Wasp went all-out. Golden armor enveloped him. His aura surged to impossible heights—far beyond Beelzebub's.
"Eh?"
Beelzebub's confident smirk faltered. His face twitched as catastrophic pressure crushed down on him. He struggled to breathe.
"Um… wait, considering it again, maybe we can solve this—"
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
"Gaaaahhh?! L-Let … finish… You fucking son of a—"
BOOOM!
Before Beelzebub could finish, Wasp sliced his body into countless pieces. His soul detonated into fragnts. The "mighty" Archdemon was eliminated in seconds.
"What? That was it? Tsk, looks like only the young lady can give that thrill. Once this is all over, I want a rematch with her."
Frank heard an explosion not far away. He had witnessed Wasp dragging Beelzebub elsewhere and sensed two other Archdemons fall—Mammon and Leviathan!
That left only Belphegor and Asmodeus, the strongest of the five. Belphegor mastered Dreams and Nightmares—commanding them, weaving them, fusing them, even burning them as fuel for deadly spells that could wound the soul directly, even Frank's.
Asmodeus wielded the power of Lust, enslaving billions of souls into his eternal, loyal "lovers." He forged, combined, and wielded those souls in countless forms and ways.
"Who would have thought the two strongest Archdemons would be the ones of Lust and Sloth, huh?" Frank muttered, spitting blood.
"Belphegor and Asmodeus were among the mightiest Archangels—comparable to and Gabriel at our peak," Michael explained. "It makes sense that after elevating their powers to this level, they beca so formidable."
"Hah, giving up already?" Belphegor laughed, spreading Nightmares and Dreams everywhere.
"Looks like he's struggling. How cute," Asmodeus laughed loudly. "Shall we make you see your maker?"
Both Archdemons appeared the most humanoid and beautiful of the group.
Asmodeus had long, clear purple hair, long black horns, and gleaming red eyes. Six wings extended behind him—four black, two white.
Belphegor was smaller, resembling a teenager compared to Asmodeus's young-adult form. He had short pink hair, golden goat-like horns on either side of his head, and eight feathered wings—all translucent, shimring with dark purple, pink, black, red, and white hues.
