The World of Bestia could not catch a breath. Right after the Demon King was vanquished—his soul torn from his body and revived as the new Song—a new threat erged.
Or perhaps not entirely new, but the true mastermind behind the invasion of robotic lifeforms sweeping across Bestia: a Void Ruler itself!
The Universal Computer was a strange Void Ruler Anna had never encountered in the original novel. It was an entirely original entity, unique to her story.
Its origins, like those of the other Void Rulers, remained a complete mystery.
Yet Anna knew this being was imnsely powerful and fiercely hostile, nearly on par with the Bleeding Scream.
Not only had it attempted to obliterate them with a devastating ocular beam aid at shattering the world’s core, but it had also unleashed countless cracks across reality.
Through those cracks, it summoned one of Anna’s old enemies, a demon she believed had perished during the Demon Castle Raid. She had been wrong.
Beelzebub!
For reasons she could not yet fathom, the Universal Computer had struck so kind of pact with the Demons. Beelzebub served rely as a vessel for two other formidable entities.
Two Demonic Beings she had made bitter enemies—one for slaying Ouroboros, Lucifer’s “pet,” the other for lifting the curse from Mammon, the chairman.
Though Anna never imagined they would pursue her across entire worlds, her suspicions now seed correct. The Universal Computer had likely been observing her, or her world, for so ti and pieced together the events unfolding.
Through this, the Void Ruler had located her past foes, these Demons, and dragged them here. Perhaps the Demons cared little about the thod, so long as they could reach her and fight to the death.
Beelzebub, however, harbored his own ambitions. He planned to seize the Demon King’s body and fuse with it—just as he had done with others—hoping to ascend into a far stronger form.
To beco a Demon King himself!
Yet Anna had already shattered that sche.
Ding!
[You have used the Skill [Divine Demon-Sealing Purgatory Realm] on the [Fifth Demon King of Destruction: Naless]!]
[You have successfully sealed the [Fifth Demon King of Destruction: Naless] inside your Purgatory Realm, turning him into a permanent resident of this prison.]
[The [Fifth Demon King of Destruction: Naless] will now obey every one of your commands.]
[The [Fifth Demon King of Destruction: Naless] has no na; do you wish to grant him a na?]
[Naming a Demon might increase their power proportional to your own Cosmic and Demonic Powers.]
[You have nad the [Fifth Demon King of Destruction] as {Nesis}!]
[The power of the [Fifth Demon King of Destruction: Nesis] has greatly increased based on the na you’ve given him!]
[Due to his intelligence being far beneath yours, his loyalty has also increased.]
“So loyalty increases if they’re dumber than ?” Anna wondered aloud. “Is this why the crow, the cat, and that lizard beca so friendly with while the two other knights remain rather cunning?”
Anna realized a hidden trait within her Skill: the Demons she sealed beca her “friends” more readily when their minds were simpler. It made perfect sense now.
“The Demon King is in a state of mindlessness—probably no smarter than an ape…” Anna thought. “Without Song’s soul inside him—Ah, right, Song!”
This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author's consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.
Her converging minds snapped to that single urgent thought. The battlefield remained chaotic, but Song’s safety had to co first.
“D-DAMMIT!”
Beelzebub’s furious screams echoed behind her. Despite his trendous growth after becoming the Avatar of both Lucifer and Mammon, the demon could not overco Nesis’ overwhelming might.
The monstrous Demon King continued expanding, his mismatched biochanical body evolving rapidly in combat, growing more refined, more imposing, resembling a colossal, muscular machine forged in black, red, and white demonic steel.
“WRAAAAHHHH!”
His bird-like head persisted, though now fully chanical, studded with artificial crimson and golden eyes and crowned by jagged horns.
The resemblance to Song—or his father—remained deeply unsettling to Anna. But she had no ti to dwell on it.
With a ferocious barrage of punches, Nesis tore into Beelzebub, covering the demon’s body in deadly wounds. His insectoid armor and gigantic monstrous form ant nothing against this unstoppable force!
“This is ridiculous!” Beelzebub groaned in rage. “How could this happen?! Dammit! She’s becoming too strong, too dangerous—wait, where is she?!”
CRAAASH!
Before Beelzebub could search for Anna after losing sight of her, the Demon King smashed his face again, shattering the insectoid exoskeleton.
RUMBLE!
“NGAAAGH…!”
The forr Throne of Gluttony scread in tornt as blood poured from every wound. The Demon King grinned wickedly and waved his claws.
Instantly, each gash on Beelzebub ignited! Heavenly Demonic Flas, born of Heavenly Ki fused with Demonic Energy, burned through skin and flesh.
Beelzebub was consud in an agonizing inferno!
At the sa mont, Anna reached the black coffin sealing Song. She touched it and activated her [Arcane Hands] Skill, swiftly deciphering the spell’s runes.
“{Absolute Cancel}!”
By flooding the runic structure with her imnse Ki, the entire magic unraveled, cracking until…
Crack, crack…!
BOOOM!
The coffin exploded into fragnts and vanished, freeing Song. He appeared unhard.
“Anna! Are you alright?” Song rushed to her, pulling her into a tight embrace.
“Yeah, I’m fine—don’t worry about !” Anna replied. “Are you okay though?! I never imagined a spell could hold you back this much!”
“It was a strange spell I couldn’t decipher or understand… I’m sorry. I’m still adjusting to my powers, and that strength I had before is gone now. I don’t know how to summon it again…!” Song said, clearly confused about his own abilities.
The power to channel the world’s energy was limited, not sothing he could wield freely, only when the world itself faced peril, not rely him.
Thus, he could not break the spell alone. And because Beelzebub’s magic was extraordinarily potent and unfamiliar, it had taken him ti even to begin countering it.
That was why Anna had to intervene!
“Well, that was Magic—a power from another world, or worlds,” Anna explained as they flew toward Beelzebub. “That Demon wields Magic, Curses, and Necromancy, so stay careful! The Demon King is holding him back, but he has gained abilities we still don’t fully understand.”
“So that’s your enemy, sister?!” Song roared with fury. “I’ll help you defeat him once and for all! Our parents—where are they though?”
“Over here!”
“It seems there are more threats than we imagined…”
Suddenly, the siblings gasped as they spotted the Heavenly Demon and Heavenly Empress floating above.
Their colossal Auras materialized into powerful Imperial Armants, which they used to tear apart the advancing demon army that had accompanied Beelzebub.
Thousands of insect-like abominations, the largest towering fifty ters high!
Anna and Song had not noticed the army’s arrival, too focused on their leader.
But Bestia now faced not only machines but also a deadly demonic incursion.
[The Cosmic Throne {Chaotic King of Brutality} smiles. The Demon Army from Hell Number 120 will consu everything with their ravenous insectoid appetite.]
[The Demonic Throne {The Greed That Consus Everything} hopes your life and that of those you love are crushed in despair and agony.]
“Ouch, the edge.”
Anna ignored their taunts as she reunited with her adoptive parents.
“Anna, do you have any idea what in the world is going on here?!”
The Heavenly Demon asked as a gigantic six-limbed god of death manifested from his Aura. It swung its palms, crushing dozens of demons at once and unleashing explosions of black and red flas.
The demons burst apart, dying in droves. They had never anticipated two mighty rulers defending the world, they usually overran and devoured everything in their path.
“If I’m not mistaken, that giant eye brought these things here, right? So aside from whatever machines remain, do we need to fight them too? Is this a second invasion?!”
The Heavenly Empress summoned hundreds of gigantic golden weapons from her Aura, forged from the power of her Heart of Hope Flas. They took on a gold-like texture and material.
The weapons impaled, shredded, cleaved, sliced, and stabbed before detonating against their targets, spreading bursts of golden light across the battlefield.
Anna watched in awe as the two Venerables single-handedly halted an invasion of tens of thousands of giant insectoid demons. Their power alone was enough to safeguard the world.
As long as no more portals like that one opened elsewhere.
“It’s complicated!” Anna answered, swinging her twin katanas—manifested through her [Mighty Morphin chanical Armor: Four Cosmic Golden Beasts of Hope (SSS)] Skill—and slicing through dozens of foes, nearly a hundred.
“{Heavenly Myriad Blade Arts}: {Celestial Ascension}!”
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
Hundreds of slashing attacks composed of pure, blinding golden and white light engulfed the demons. Dozens perished per second, hundreds within ten seconds: two hundred, three hundred, four hundred!
Finally, the accumulated light coalesced into a gigantic cross-shaped strike. Anna kicked it toward the demonic portal, and it erupted in a massive explosion!
BOOMMM!!!
