Chapter 174 Transcendent And Supreme, Surpassing Limits III
The Demon Kingdom
It has been nine years since they established themselves. And unlike Green River Kingdom, they had enough Deities and army resources to become a Kingdom.
Since their situation was just sending people here from Hell, so their progress was the greatest. Within no time at all, maybe seven years later they would become a one star Empire.
Then another five and another three, they could match the Nature Pantheon and the Elven Empire. By another fifteen years maybe, they could really become a four star Empire. These were their estimations.
They could build their foundation before the second Calamity began, where Heaven, Hell and Spiritus would truly invade the Middle Realm and lay their Conquest with full force.
The chess board for the Great Holy War.
Rouli had also succeeded in becoming a Ruler, which was the equivalent of the Deity Lord realm. Now, he was just your average peak Ruler Demon King, who was close to becoming a Royal Demon King.
But today was an important day, a True Demon Lord had descended.
Though Demigods or True Demon Lords could not yet enter the mortal realm, right here right now, right before his eyes, was one of the many sons of the King of Pride himself, True Demon Lord Diablo.
Diablo was a Demon Lord who had a divine artifact that had one ability, the ability to allow him to enter the mortal world even under normal conditions, with restricted powers. And he chose to use it now.
Though he could not manifest his Domain that had countless of Universes within, and was only limited to just being an Ancient Demon with a manifested Divine Body... he was still as strong as your average Ancient Deities, which they were none here.
"My lord, may I ask why you have brought your illustrious self down here?" Rouli smiled at Diablo as he respectfully inquired. His old appearance made him look quite stiff, but he did not care at the moment.
"No reason, and don't worry about me and just excuse yourself. I'm tired of hearing your tone, old thing." Diablo hugged the Succubus on his lap and waved off Rouli without even looking at him.
Her beauty alone was a bit too high for a useless character. Having an abundant chest, devilish curves and an S-class figure that could put literal Demigoddesses to shame.
She could topple Universes with her looks alone, let alone mere Regions.
"...Yes, my lord. Now please excuse me." Rouli stood up and prepared to leave. As for pride? He had discarded it the moment he became a demon, which was funny, considering that he worked for Pride.
"Oh, and do make sure to leave the lady behind. You will make for, to entertain me, won't you, dear?" Diablo smiled at the beauty who served Rouli. Even with semi-divine charm, he was infatuated by the girl.
Her Charm dwarfed even that of the Succubus on his lap, making it seem unpleasant to the eyes dye to this lady's superior beauty. Her curves were too prosperous to ignore.
Her chest, though not that abundant, was still a perfect size for a beauty like herself. And her figure... no need to speak of it, as even Goddesses of Beauty themselves would literally bow to her in defeat.
"...My lord—"
"Shut up and SCRAM!!!" Diablo interrupted Rouli, who was about to defend his secretary, with a shout, his voice kicking up a small breeze. Small but strong enough to push Rouli back, like a ragged doll.
The Reiki contained within that shout was but a single unit, yet that single unit was comparable to over Trillions of units of Divine power. Hence he was struck abd forced to heavily collide with the wall behind him.
"...."
Rouli stood up and slowly dusted his clothes. He looked back at Diablo and was about to take another step towards him, but the lady turned to him and bowed.
Nobody saw it, but he did, and that small glint within her eyes calmed him down. There was more to his relationship with this girl, than what simply met the eye.
"There is no need sir, I will accompany the lord for however long he desires me." She said in a flat tone, with no emotions, no flanctuations of sorts. Her eyes were also as devoid of emotions as her tone.
Rouli stopped and bowed towards Diablo and left without any hesitation. Nobody found this strange. Rouli was originally humble, and he listened to almost all of his secretary's opinions to begin with.
Maybe it was because her opinions always made sense, or because there was more to them than meets the eye, nobody knew. But to them, Rouli's response was normal. It would be strange if he stayed.
Plus... Diablo was far stronger. The stronger ruled with an iron fist in Hell. And he was also their prince. So... Rouli had literally no choice at all in this situation.
Rongxi and Rongu didn't say anything and just stood up to leave after a slight bow towards Diablo. Of course, the fallen angel-like beauty and the high succubus that served them had to stay as well.
Diablo's orders.
There were no complaints at all though. When Rouli was out, he looked up and sighed. Rongu came near him snd patted his back as he whispered, "It's time."
Rouli nodded and transformed into black mist, which converged into a pure black Lance. The ever silent Rongxi nodded to Rongu and also turned to black mist before being absorbed by Rongu.
His power suddenly increased from moderate Deity Lord to peak Deity Lord, perfected Deity Lord and then initial Deity King, and it was still rising. "Haah~ Unfortunately I'm still weaker than him. But that's not important, today is his death date anyway."
"This is the first step towards a path of Chaos after all."
With that, he vanished out of sight, that is, after looking at the falling orb in the sky. Then immediately after he disappeared, an aura of destruction comparable to a God's aura descended without restraint.
But before that, within the house Diablo was at. He sat languidly on the throne and appreciated the top class divine-like charm of the three beauties before him.
They were too ethereal.
"Sir, a word of advice?" Rouli's aide suddenly smiled cheerfully as her eyes flashed a golden brilliance for an instant. Diablo did not feel that and just laughed, "Sure, I'll allow you."
"It is not safe..." She started off by opening her mouth to speak, but midway, the fallen angel transformed into black mist and converged on her back, transforming into a pair of black wings with starlight glitter around them.
She stretched out her hand and held the high Succubus' hand, before turning her into a pure black staff that had a white-blue orb above it. The orb looked quite strange and universal, like the Source of Creation.
She then continued her words, "...to desire things that are way above your league. Even your father, is nothing but trash to me."
She murmured, and smiled at him. Diablo suddenly sensed a terrifying presence from the lady, his complexion turned unsightly and he trembled wildly.
"Who...Who... are you..?!" His eyes widened and his teeth clattered, but the young lady only smiled for a brief moment before vanishing. But before he could calm down, another highly destructive pressure fell down upon him.
Though weaker than before, it was still something terrifying for him. 'Why are Gods suddenly descending like falling cabbages?!'
Diablo thought and was about to send himself back to Hell, but right at this moment, a blinding white light spread out and covered the entire northern hemisphere in an instant, and it continued spreading out.
There was no explosion or anything grand as that. Instead, the white glow continued to spread like the light of dawn, illuminating the world in pure whiteness.
Like a mother covering her child in a blanket to put him to sleep. No pain was experienced, only pure thoughts as everything was extinguished.
Even Lulu and Krishna felt nothing but purity from the white light. Perhaps the brief moment of pure destructive aura was it pushing out the evil within itself. It was like experiencing Nirvana before being extinguished.
[Destruction of Purity(Unique) - Dual Skill. Summon the power of the universal laws of destruction, purity, extinction and nirvana with your hand and release it out. The first half releases destruction aura that will bring fear to your opponents, instilling thirty random negative ailments, then cloaks then in pure aura of extinction that cannot be resisted by anyone but higher existence stronger than the user. Has the Extra Skills...]
Both girls felt like they learnt new skills and exchanged looks of admiration. This feeling... of power and pure destruction... was too addictive!!!
They stood afloat and looked down as the light began to fade away. After it faded away, it revealed an entire hemisphere of ravaged earth, with no sign of greenery at all.
