That’s why it ticked off Cruzerey instead. —It’s useless, Sirzechs. To begin with, your words as the current Maou won’t reach these guys. You are naïve. Cruzerey then gets enraged. “Don’t speak nonsense! Not only the fallen-angels, but you have allied with the angels, so I don’t want to hear you who have become a filth talk about devils! Not just that, but are you telling me to talk to the impostor!? That is enough with your nonsense!”
I made a sigh and said it to Cruzerey. “Like you are in the position to say that. You guys, the Khaos Brigade, have the dangerous heretics of the Three-Great-Powers gathered.”
He makes a smile. “We are not cooperating. We are using them. The hated fallen-angels and angels are beings who are only a tool that we use for us devils. Understanding each other? Peace? No! We, the Maou, are the ones who have to become the Kings of the World! By using Ophis’s power we will destroy the world, and create a new World of devils! For that, you impostorous Maou are in our way!”
Ah, this is bad. It’s the mind of bosses of grunts that comes up in books. The devils are already in danger of continuing their kind already, so what are they thinking…..? Sirzechs. You might have mixed feelings, but you are doing a better job as a King you know? Because Old-Maou were like these guys, the devils were heading to the path of self destruction. Their thoughts. Their beliefs. They do not match. The gap between both sides is big, and it will never get fixed. Sirzechs then says it with sad eyes. “Cruzerey. I just want to protect the seeds of devils. I need to protect the civilians, or else our kind will not prosper. I don’t care whether you call me naïve. I want to lead the children with the future. –We don’t need War in the current Underworld.”
“Naïve! More than that it is a foolish reason! Do you think that will be the end of devils!? Devils steal the souls of humans, we lure them to hell, and we exist to eliminate God and angels! There is no need for negotiation anymore! Sirzechs! The fake King with the fake kindness! —A Lucifer! A Maou! They are a being which annihilates everything! Even though you have the power of destruction, why don’t you use it against the fallen-angel beside you!? Like I thought, you don’t have the right to call yourself a Maou! I, Cruzerey Asmodeus, who am the true Maou will annihilate you!”
That was the end of Sirzechs who is the current Maou and the descendant of the Old-Maou. Sirzechs then speaks to Ophis. “…..Ophis. Is a negotiation with you also impossible?”
“Only if you consume my snake, and make an oath to me. One more thing. Hand over the ownership of the dimensional gap around the Underworld. I will take all of it.”
—Obedience and closure of the Underworld huh. There is no way a Maou who carries the Underworld on his back will accept that easily. Sirzechs looks up and closes his eyes. When he opens his eyes…. His eyes are filled with coldness which gives me chills. After confirming that, Cruzerey distances himself and creates large blocks of demonic-powers in both of his hands. “Yes! That’s it! That is easier to understand, Sirzechs!”
Cruzerey was hoping for this the whole time. …….Sirzechs, there was no way that your words would have reached him from the beginning. Even so, you still wanted to talk to him huh. –Your thoughts. And the thoughts of the Underworld that is. Sirzechs puts his right hand forward, and then he pointed it up. Demonic-powers were gathering there. Sirzechs’s demonic-power starts to give an irregular aura. –The power of destruction. Sirzechs then says it with a strong tone. “Cruzerey, I will eliminate anyone who becomes a threat to the Underworld as a Maou.”
“You! Don’t you dare use the name Maou!”
Cruzerey releases huge demonic-powers from both his hands. Sirzechs doesn’t flinch, and changed the demonic-powers in his palms to several smaller spheres and then he shot them forward. BANG! GUUUUUN! Cruzerey’s demonic-power perishes after it touches Sirzech’s demonic-power as if it was ground away. The demonic-power released by Sirzechs moves as if it has its own mind and it eliminates Cruzerey’s attack. Sirzechs himself dodges or uses defensive spells for the attacks which couldn’t be eliminated. One of the spheres of power of destruction goes into Cruzerey’s mouth. DON! Cruzerey swells up once. When it calms down, at the same time his demonic-powers decrease drastically! –Did Sirzechs get rid of the snake Cruzerey consumed? Sirzechs then says it. “—[Rune the Extinct]. I got rid of Ophis’s snake in your stomach. –With this you won’t be able to fight with enormous power.”
By having the snake, which is the base of his power up, destroyed, his confidence from earlier disappears and now he looks impatient. Sirzechs attack. It’s my first time seeing it. One of the reasons why Sirzechs was chosen as a Maou. –Overwhelming power of destruction. It eliminates everything it touches. It doesn’t even leave a trace. Absolute destruction. Even if it was small, it has outrageous power. He didn’t overuse the absolute power of destruction, he didn’t even increase its mass, he kept it in a small size, and he is able to control several of them like his own limbs. A technique which requires delicate control and a great level of talent. Sirzechs has those. “Damn you! Just like you! And just like Vali! Why do those who carry the name of “Lucifer” are blessed with powers, yet both of you clash with us! ?”
Cruzerey tries to release more shots while cursing. KUUBAN! —But one of the spheres touches Cruzerey’s stomach, and it takes away his whole stomach. Even if small, the power of destruction has enough power. The moment it touches it, it eliminates everything in its surroundings. “…..W-Why…. Why does the real one have to lose against the impostor……”
While having blood coming from his mouth, Cruzerey sheds tears of blood. Sirzechs closes his eyes and swings his arm to the side slowly. That moment, Cruzerey’s whole body was eaten away by several spheres floating in the sky. The place we arrive in is…..the shrine located at the deepest end. When we go inside, there is something that looks like a gigantic device. It’s a circular device which is carved into the wall, there are jewels located in various parts, and it also has mysterious symbols and letters in it. Is this portraying some sort of magic-circle? Then I scream after I saw the centre of the device. “Asiaaaaaaaaa!”
Asia is tied to the centre of the device! Judging from her looks, she doesn't have any wounds! Her clothes don’t seem ripped either! I’m glad! Looks like she has no wounds. “You finally came.”
The one who appears from the side of the device is Diodora Astaroth. His gentle smile increases my anger! I started my count down for Balance Breaker! When the countdown ends, I will punch Diodora! With full power! In full speed! I will pierce through that guys face! “…..Ise-san?”
Asia looks this way after hearing my voice. –Her eyes are swollen. She was crying.
