Though this was rely a historical record, with all Seventy-Two Demon Gods present, Brunhilde couldn't afford to be careless.
So, she disguised herself as soone from this era and blended into the line, following the crowd inside.
Gulp—!
That was the sound of Göll swallowing hard as she followed behind.
When they reached the eerie door, Göll hesitated—but seeing her sister stride forward without fear and vanish beyond it, she clenched her teeth, shut her eyes, and stepped through as well.
A brief resistance faded, and then she bumped into a familiar, reassuring back. Only then did Göll open her eyes.
"Huh?"
She froze in disbelief. Because what lay before her... was the exact sa place she had just entered from.
It was as if stepping through that door had simply brought her back to where she started.
Could it be that the door was rejecting them?
"Brunhilde, we—"
Her voice cut off as her pupils dilated in horror. Sothing was wrong.
The city, which should have been bathed in the soft silver glow of moonlight, was now shrouded in the terrifying crimson light of a blood-red moon.
The sky itself was a deep scarlet, as if it wasn't the moon casting the hue—but as if the heavens themselves had turned to blood.
The once-bustling night streets now lay desolate and eerie, devoid of human presence. Instead, demons road freely.
A sudden, otherworldly shriek drew her gaze skyward—where a swarm of demons was flying toward a single destination.
What's going on? In what seed like an instant, this city had been taken over by demons?
Wait, could it be that Brunhilde suddenly fast-forwarded, skipping ahead to a ti when this city transitioned from human control to demon control?
But was there ever such a period?
"This is a mirror space!"
Equally stunned, Brunhilde suddenly blurted out these words.
Mirror space?
After a mont of confusion, Göll finally understood.
A so-called mirror space refers to creating an identical replica of reality at the sa coordinates.
Soon, Göll also wore a dumbfounded expression.
Among the queuing crowd, a group suddenly started using magic, flying straight in one direction.
Ah, another group used magic to enhance their bodies, leaping between buildings.
"Today's lesson will involve practical combat."
"Really? Our combat training isn't scheduled until next week!"
This was a conversation among so people, who were also looking at those using magic with a hint of envy.
What's going on?
Turning their gaze toward the royal palace, it had transford as if demonized, becoming a demonic palace.
The crowd that entered quickly regrouped into several teams, each heading toward different gates leading into the demonic palace.
Following Brunhilde, they walked toward one of the gates, and what they saw next was yet another staggering sight.
"Paimon!"
In this vast chamber, Brunhilde once again laid eyes on one of the Demon Gods—one of the Supre Four.
Yet here he was, seemingly reduced to a re teacher, instructing humans on how to wield magic.
The other rooms beyond the gates likely had other Demon Gods conducting similar lessons.
Peering into the other chambers, the absurdity only grew. Not all of them were teaching magic—so were imparting scientific knowledge far ahead of their ti.
Glancing into another room...
Hmm? This one was revealing information about angels?
To put it in modern terms, it was like a biology class where humans learned about their own anatomy, evolution, and other detailed aspects.
But in this room, the subject was the biological nature of angels.
"For this type of angel, if you wish to kill them, you must..."
The lesson even exposed the weaknesses of angels, teaching humans how to slay them?
This was insane. Göll was breaking out in cold sweat, biting her hand—anything to keep herself from gasping aloud.
The secrets being taught about angels were forbidden knowledge, sothing even Valkyries weren't supposed to hear. Yet here they were, casually being disclosed to humans?
Aah, she heard nothing!
Ah! W-Wait, Brunhilde!
She hurried after Brunhilde, who was already moving toward the next gate.
"Mmph—!"
Göll, walking beside her, was abruptly silenced as Brunhilde clapped a hand over her mouth and dragged her away from the entrance. Sweat trickled down Brunhilde's face as she did so.
At the far end of the hall stood King Solomon—but that wasn't the main concern. Several other Demon Gods were present as well, and Brunhilde had spotted Baal among them.
He was no ordinary Demon God. He might sense them.
Though Göll couldn't clearly see the figures in that room, she could distinctly feel an oppressive aura emanating from within, as if a gathering of monsters lurked there.
Not lingering any longer, Brunhilde led Göll away, heading toward another area.
This was the learning zone. Earlier, they had heard ntions of a combat training area. Ti to check it out.
Arriving in a spacious region, the two stared in stunned silence at the scene before them.
BOOM—!
Right before their eyes, a group of demons was engaged in fierce combat with a group of humans.
Overall, the demons were effortlessly overwhelming the human mages.
Of course, there were a few exceptional individuals who seed evenly matched against their demon opponents.
"T-This… they're training humans?"
Göll stared blankly at the spectacle.
If human mages trained like this by demons were to form an army, what nation in the human world could possibly resist? Conquering the world wouldn't be difficult, would it?
So… was King Solomon planning to subjugate the entire world?
Was King Solomon planning to create a magical kingdom?
"Hahahahaha...!"
Brunhilde laughed, her face slightly contorted with mirth.
She didn't believe these individuals cultivated with the help of the Seventy-Two Demon Gods were ant for world conquest—that would be a waste of their potential.
She had an idea she could hardly believe herself: that Solomon's preparations seed like preparations for war against the gods.
If King Solomon was preparing to oppose the gods, then could his ability to command the demon gods truly have been granted by the divine?
Wouldn't that be like lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own foot?
How exactly had he subjugated the Seventy-Two Demon Gods?
She would uncover the reason!
Rewinding the historical records, she would see the truth for herself!!!
