Clouds suddenly ford in the sky as dozens of golden swords descended. Up ahead, I spotted one of the Demon Emperors closest to the portal with their hand raised, their eyes glowing golden as they continued to channel their energy into the downpour of swords.
They looked pretty powerful at a glance. Only when I looked closer did I realize that this wasn’t actually so kind of Light Manipulation, but instead, one sword being duplicated thousands, if not millions, of tis.
It was a very unique Gift, one that I was pretty sure I hadn’t seen much before. But of course, since this Demon Emperor didn’t completely master his Gift, the problem was clear.
I was able to spot the original sword among many. With a single thought, I shattered that sword, and just like I expected, every other sword after that ceased to exist. Not to ntion, the Demon Emperor himself suddenly backed off, clutching his head.
I tried to use that mont of vulnerability to latch onto his body and destroy it. However, the other Demon Emperors were protecting him quite adamantly.
And if that wasn’t enough, Ren finally erged and locked eyes with . I was confused by what he was doing for a mont, until I realized that my consciousness was slowly slipping away.
I was imdiately reminded of what happened with Wilhelm. The repetitive torture he had put through... I had expected it, only to be trapped in another bout of torture.
But right as I thought I would need to use the majority of my Divine Energy to escape, Ren backed off, his eyes widening as if he had co to so realization. His gaze flashed with anger, which wasn’t directed at , but instead at soone else.
And of course, I once again used this mont of vulnerability to try and break his Demonic Core, only for him to slip away and reappear in front of the rest of the Demon Emperors.
Every ti I tried to directly ss with the portal, they would chi in and cancel my Divine Energy. Every ti I ssed with them, they would help each other.
I couldn’t defeat them, at least not until I grew a little stronger. But I also knew that by the ti I ca back to face them, they’d have enough counterasures against .
Glancing to the side, I spotted Morr staring at through the shattered palace window.
How could they not have more counterasures when they have two Divine Beasts on their side?
Rather... They have two Divine Beasts, as well as one neutral Divine Beast. In comparison, Rachel and Elise’s allegiance was unknown. For all I knew, those two were just like the other Divine Beasts.
But then again... I felt like freeing Rachel was the start of all of this. Why did Divine Beasts start appearing left and right from the mont I t her?
Tsk...
No point blaming her now.
I narrowed my eyes at the group below, and with around 25 seconds to spare, I decided at the very least to piss them off.
And of course, I did that by wrapping my Telekinesis around the entirety of Helheim, and without a mont of hesitation, I lifted the entire city as though I was lifting a simple speck of dust.
The remainder of the buildings crumbled, and as for the demons who were running toward the portal, they stumbled and began tumbling down the cracks, falling through the city and falling to the earth below.
Sadly, every single demon had wings, so only those who panicked too much and forgot that simple fact were the ones to die. As for the others, they calmly landed on the ground and began running away.
As for the demons that tried to make their way back to the portal, they were crushed by the debris of the crumbling city.
I was satisfied with the destruction... Even the loss of so many lives didn’t phase . Why should I be phased? They were prepared to go through the portal and kill humans.
They just got what they deserved.
Once the city was raised high enough and I felt like I couldn’t raise it any further, I let go of my Telekinesis, causing the city, alongside the Demon Emperors and the portal, to freefall to the ground.
Naturally, they tried their best to protect the portal, but with the ground being so unstable, they weren’t able to. And so, in front of my eyes, the fra of the portal cracked slightly. Those cracks spread very quickly, enveloping the portal whole.
And finally, right as I blinked, the portal shattered, causing the gateway to beco closed as each of the Demon Emperors stared at in disbelief.
But by then, I had already locked onto Clentine’s presence and used my Black Lightning to teleport to her.
The mont I arrived, I spotted a wrecked carriage, followed by Clentine’s figure blurring and reappearing in front of . She was actively fighting the Demon Emperor, with the Demon Kings only supporting.
She was at a loss, and she would be overwheld soon.
Yet with my appearance, that all changed, as with a single thought, I twisted the heads of nearly four Demon Kings in an instant and tossed them away like twigs. As for the Demon Emperor, he paused and smiled at .
Then, to my surprise, his figure also blurred. Except, instead of returning, he just vanished completely. He wasn’t the only one to vanish, though, as the Demon Kings did too. The blood they spilled when I twisted their heads was gone, almost like it never existed.
My heart sank as I suddenly turned to Clentine, only to see her figure and energy fade away into nothingness. Yet despite the nothingness, a faint trace remained, which I desperately followed.
Yet all that resulted in was my return to Helheim, where I spotted a very familiar figure who looked just like .
It was Morr, and he was staring back at as though he had been expecting .
"..."
I was tricked.
