[Formation of alliance]
[[…Paimon It disappeared.]]
An indecipherable silhouette was moving in a space filled with dense darkness.
Slurrrrr….
It was sothing amorphous with no clear shape. At first glance, it looked like a cephalopod with dozens of legs, or like a huge plant with roots extending in all directions.
The strange being’s mutterings echoed in the darkness as deep as the abyss.
[[Was that kid attacked by the demon lord?]]
If there were demons around who were listening to that voice, they would have imdiately realized the identity of the voice.
Baal.
The strongest demon king and ruler of the demon world slowly opened his closed eyes.
[[But… why can’t the little demon king be seen?]]
Baal was curious, and imdiately a small fla was summoned in the darkness.
Grumble!
It was the soul of Demon King Paimon, who had been extinguished by Lily a little while ago.
[I… disappeared… but…?]
Paimon lost all his flas to Lily, and even his soul disappeared and turned into a heap of ashes. What was summoned here was only a remnant of that.
Baal did not use any force, but summoned the remnants only with ‘will’.
[[Paimon. I have called you.]]
A power that was impossible in the past.
Baal said with pleasure that he was gradually becoming accustod to embodying ‘omnipotence’.
[This voice… Baal…?]
[[Tell everything you saw.]]
At the sound of Baal’s voice coming from above, the remnants of Paimon raised their heads and looked upward.
And then let out a silent scream.
[!!]
Baal’s body was connected as one with his throne.
Tentacles extended from the body and wrapped around the throne, and the flesh and blood that flowed down like ooze stuck to it.
Slowly….
The tentacles extending downward were penetrating countless corpses of demons and absorbing their blood.
[Could it be… the entire castle…?]
And in the middle of the throne, Baal’s head, with half of his brain exposed, was placed like the icing on a failed cake.
[Really… Baal…?]
It was not the Baal she knew.
The once powerful and intimidating body had half lted and stuck to the throne, turning into a form more terrible than extinction.
See-ee-ik.
Baal smiled, raising the corners of his mouth unnaturally.
[[Let us know with glory. You will be the last person to et before becoming one with the Demon Beast.]]
[The Demon Beast…? What do you an by that?…]
Demon Tree (魔界樹)
It is a tree that was born with the Demon World, and its roots were known to surround the entire Demon World.
A great being revered even by the longest-living Demon Lords.
[To beco… one… with the Demon Beast… what did you… do…]
Baal’s brow furrowed at the sight of Paimon answering his question with a question.
[[I didn’t call you to ask a question. Tsk tsk. If I had obtained a perfect ‘battery’, this process would not have been necessary…]
Whirlick!
A tentacle rose from the floor and wrapped around Paimon’s soul.
And I began to read it, absorbing it in its entirety.
[Aaaah… Aaaah!]
The soul of Paimon, who thought he would not experience any more pain because only the remnants remained, let out a terrible scream.
The shabby fla quickly dimd and soon went out with a flicker.
After a mont of silence, Baal, who had learned the whole story of the incident, muttered softly.
[[A fire witch… indeed. Was it not possible for a being not born in the Demon World to be seen even with omniscience?]]
Wriggling…
Hundreds of roots extending from Baal’s body were deeply embedded through the walls and floor of his Demon Castle.
They wriggled dynamically as if they were constantly sucking sothing in.
-Baal was in the process of rging with the Demon Tree.
In the process, Baal gained omniscience and omnipotence.
Now, I could naturally ‘know’ everything that happened in the demon world just by thinking about it, and
I could realize ‘almost everything’ possible in this world with just my will.
The reason Paimon knew that the soul was destroyed and the reason he summoned even a remnant of the soul was because Baal had gained the ability of omniscience.
However, since the fusion with the Demon Beast was not yet complete, those two abilities were not perfect.
‘Does it not work for those who do not belong to the demon world?…’
But that doesn’t an it can’t be seen.
[[Shine.]]
Jiiiing-!
A huge demonic mirror appeared in the air, and beyond it, Lily’s figure was visible.
With her wings stretching tens of ters wide open, the girl was looking down at the demons lying down in front of her.
-I will defeat Baal and beco the Great Demon King!
Thanks to Abraxas’ quick recovery, Lily was able to hide her real face inside the demon rabbit doll again.
-Ooooooo!!
The demons who were moved by the battle between Lily and Paimon were cheering for Nibaniba.
The birth of a new 10 seat!
The praise for Nibaniva, who destroyed the Fire Queen Paimon and usurped her throne, was enough to stay up all night.
Lily seed to be excited by the demons’ reaction, raising her hands to encourage them to respond.
-Demons who will go with to defeat Baal! Scream!
-O king! I will be with you!
-I will be your servant forever!
-Long live Nibaniba! Long live!
Baal quietly watched through the magic mirror as the place suddenly beca noisy like a concert hall.
[[It’s insignificant.]]
Just as an elephant is not scared by the threat of an ant, Baal felt nothing when he saw Lily.
Since I couldn’t know the other person even with omniscience, I was curious and just looked into the magic scriptures myself.
After seeing it in person, it seems insignificant.
If I wanted to, I could make all the demons over there go crazy.
But I didn’t.
‘I can’t afford to waste money on useless things now.’
Because it was ti to focus our efforts on becoming harmonized with the demonic tree.
Wiggle…
Hundreds of roots connected to Baal’s body wriggled and supplied him with strength.
The sap of the magic tree.
The purest energy of the world was flowing into Baal’s body.
[[Just a little more….]]
Grrrr!
Baal’s shapeless body trembled. Bubbles rose and burst, and fluid and blood flowed out.
However, rather than pain, Baal felt a distant pleasure.
Kugugugu…!!
Baal’s entire demon castle shook so violently that it seed as if it would collapse.
[[Soon… I will beco the God of the Demon World.]]
A flawless and omnipotent being.
That was the reason Baal attempted to rge with the Demon Tree.
{Yes, Baal. You will beco a god.}
A voice from another being was heard. It was a voice that only Baal could hear.
Baal responded in an unpleasant voice.
[[Soul Eater.]]
Ssssssut.
The gray energy flowing from Baal’s body coalesced and ford a faint human shape.
Surprisingly, it was Soul Eater, which was thought to have been destroyed by Daein.
In the past, Baal and Soul Eater ford an alliance, and Soul Eater shared a part of his soul and sent it to Baal as proof of their alliance.
Afterwards, the main body of Soul Eater was absorbed by Daein and disappeared, but the part that remained near Baal survived like a parasite.
{You haven’t forgotten the deal you made with , right? In return for helping you beco a god…}
It was Soul Eater who taught Baal how to fuse with the Demon Tree.
{The landlord decided to give it to .}
At that mont, the screen visible beyond the magic mirror changed.
-Kill !
-Wow!
The armies of the demon world were clashing with each other and slaughtering each other.
A battlefield filled with shouts and screams and covered in red blood.
At the back of the battlefield, I saw a great man leisurely watching with his arms crossed.
Soul Eater said in an excited voice.
{He is mine. By reclaiming my body that was absorbed by that bastard and taking that body, I am once again a god…} [[
Shut up.]]
Baal growled in a low voice.
The Soul Eater’s voice ringing in my head and the fact that he had just manipulated the demonic spirit as he pleased was extrely unpleasant.
[[If you use my power arbitrarily one more ti, I will destroy you.]]
{…….}
Soul Eater was living in his soul with Baal’s permission.
He could have destroyed Soul Eater if he wanted to, but Baal did not do that.
Because I needed the help of Soul Eater, at least until I was completely fused with the Demon Tree.
{Baal. I believe you will keep your promise.}
[[It’s a simple thing. If I beco a god.]]
Any rebellion in the demon world can be suppressed in an instant.
After that, he will invade Earth and put an end to the Allied Forces, and
eventually beco the ruler of the dinsional hub and beco famous throughout the universe.
We just need a little more ti.
[[Not much ti left….]]
Feeling the power being constantly absorbed, Baal slowly closed his eyes.
{…okay. There isn’t much left.}
Looking at that scene, the Soul Eater in the form of a gray mist smiled faintly.
***
[The ally will arrive soon.]
The mont Daein saw Vassago’s triumphant expression, he decided to pretend to be surprised.
“alliance? What alliance? “What do you an by that all of a sudden!!”
Vassago felt much better at Daein’s embarrassed reaction.
‘It ans that the leadership of this alliance that you hold will change.’
After the crushing defeat at the Burning Plains, Vassago completely lost the initiative in the struggle for leadership with his allies, the Allied Forces.
In a situation where they were being pushed back by the Baal army led by Agares, Daein threatened to return to Earth if he ssed up(?).
But the days of such insults are over.
[I don’t know if you rember. A demon king nad Nibaniva who rebelled in the north. I got in touch with them a while ago. They decided to join my command there.]
Although they ford an alliance of equals rather than under my command, Vassago spoke as if his army had increased in order to kill the great man.
‘It’s not wrong. There’s no way a little demon lord would try to match …’
I guess the landlord wouldn’t know. He was Vassago, who had the confidence to play with sothing like a young devil in the palm of his hand.
“That can’t be possible…”
As expected, the landlord clenched his fists with a stiff expression.
‘Tsk tsk. ‘It’s no use regretting.’
And that evening, the allies Vassago had been waiting for arrived.
thud! thud! thud!
A lava giant tens of ters tall was walking ahead.
Behind them, countless demons were running, raising clouds of dust.
Doo doo doo doo!
The demons that Nibaniva took under his control or swore loyalty to as he conquered the northern part of the Demon World.
That number was actually greater than the troops Vassago had left.
Vassago’s face hardened as he saw a larger army than he could have imagined and a familiar lava giant.
[No way… Paimon…]
That lava giant was clearly Paimon’s Demon Castle.
The fact that a chubby demon rabbit, not Paimon, was riding on the shoulders of the Demon King ant one thing.
‘The owner of the fla has changed.’
After a while, Nibaniva’s army stopped at a reasonable distance away.
Whick!
Nibaniva and his subordinates, who jumped to the ground, began walking this way.
Accordingly, Vassago also ca forward accompanied by several of his family mbers to welco the alliance.
‘It looks more formidable than I thought, so I shouldn’t underestimate it.’
-Puhuaaaaaaa!
Vassago’s cloak fluttered like crazy as powerful magical power was unleashed from his body.
Exuding a dignity befitting an overlord, Vassago strode toward his ally.
Jump and jump.
Long strides.
The distance between the two demon kings quickly decreased.
The demons swallowed their saliva, nervous that sothing might happen.
Vassago was the first to speak. He spoke with utmost composure.
[It took a lot of hard work to hurry up the long way. I personally welco you…]
Whiik!
Nibaniva passed by Vassago and ran towards the great man who was watching blankly from afar.
[Formation of alliance] End
