Chapter 512
"Belphegor! You bastard!"
Asmodeus destroyed the cave where Belphegor was hiding. He roared and angrily approached the slouching Demon Lord.
"I'm surprised that you can find me."
Belphegor yawned and wiped his eyes. He actually slept for a few minutes, he could not help it.
"You!"
Asmodeus gritted his teeth. He actually visited all of Belphegor's hideouts. It took him half an hour to find him.
Despite being lazy, Belphegor had hundreds of hideouts. Asmodeus was lucky that he found him after looking around.
"Since you are already here, how about we escape at the same time."
He offered while making a magic array on the floor. He was making a portal to travel to another planet.
"Escape? Diablo died and you want to escape? Don't you feel mad? He is your brother!"
Asmodeus roared.
"Of course I'm angry. But my anger will not help me. Diablo is already gone and it's impossible to revive him. All I can do is escape and strengthen my army."
"You coward!"
"Nope, it's a strategic retreat. Besides, why are you even angry? Do you love Diablo or something? Don't tell me you had sex with him?"
He narrowed his eyes.
"So what?"
Asmodeus replied.
"Fucking knew it... Anyway, it's time to escape. It's unfortunate that we can't retrieve the Sin of Pride. But it's a good thing that Mikael can't absorb it as well. Two Sins will never work, just like what happened last time."
Belphegor started doing his job. He had to work or else he would get tired instead. His Sin was making him lazy.
The two did not know that Mikael absorbed the Sin of Pride. He consolidated the two Sins. Perhaps he was an anomaly because he didn't mutate and become a monster.
"Tch!"
Asmodeus didn't have a choice but to click his tongue in annoyance. He wanted to convince Belphegor to fight Mikael together with him. But it seemed that the lazy Demon Lord would not accept it.
So instead of fighting, Asmodeus decided to escape with him. At least they were safer together than being alone. Mikael's power was too dangerous for them.
"What kind of power was that, he can destroy everything."
"Indeed."
Belphegor agreed. He witnessed how Diablo died and turned into nothingness.
Out of all of them, Diablo was the most dangerous because of his ability to overpower anyone.
"Things may change if Beelzebub is here. But that guy is too eager to eat human flesh."
Beelzebub has the best survivability because of his endless thirst for flesh. He would even eat his own flesh once driven into the corner.
As for Jade Levia... She was the mascot.
Belphegor did not linger on and focused on his job. The magic array was forming. He made sure to teleport to the farthest planet.
"I didn't know that there is someone like him."
Asmodeus was lamenting. He thought this would be easy.
"You are still young. You are not alive when we fought the Gods of Norse and Greek. They are strong creatures. Most of us almost died fighting them."
Belphegor was calm. He faced strong Gods. Mikael's existence was not surprising. Mikael was just talented and his potential was endless, but they fought many like him.
"Then what did you do at that time?"
Asmodeus was curious.
"We used our brains."
"Wait, you guys have brains?"
"Yes."
He nodded.
"We Demons are cunning and merciless. We used abduction and ambush to eliminate the Gods one by one. We don't listen to rules. As long as we won, that's all that matters. Furthermore, our strength does not lie in individuals. Our unique ability to affect creatures and transform them into Demons is our trump card."
They used their endless army of Demons to invade planets. Countless planets fall for them and sucked their lives.
Indeed, Asmodeus understood where Belphegor was coming from.
"Hm, looks like we can live now."
The magic array started glowing and was ready to be used.
The two stood on the array, ready to cast the spell.
However, powerful lightning hit the cave and stopped them from doing so.
"What the fuck!"
Asmodeus was dumbfounded.
The cave crashed and the magic array was destroyed. They were buried deep in the ground. But they were more affected by the fact that they failed to escape.
Asmodeus and Belphegor immediately destroyed the surroundings and escaped their burial.
"Mikael!"
Asmodeus was shocked when he realized that Mikael found them. On top of that, Asmodeus could sense that something changed in Mikael. He became more dangerous.
'What happened? Not even an hour but he already found us? And this aura... could it be!'
"You!"
Both Asmodeus and Belphegor were petrified when they sensed the Sin of Pride lingering around Mikael.
"T- that's impossible!"
Even Belphegor woke from his stupor. His eyes were wide open as he stared like a wide-eyed fish.
"Once I want you dead, it will be impossible to escape. A mark will forever be sealed in you. "
Mikael didn't care if the two were surprised that he absorbed the Sin of Pride.
"What did you do!?"
Belphegor nervously asked. He was sweating. He realized that Mikael was someone who could end their species.
"Nothing much."
"... Looks like I don't have a choice, you have to die here."
Realizing that Mikael was more dangerous than they thought, Belphegor gained the will to kill him.
"Now that's what I like. I'm good with two versus one if you want."
"Arrogant!"
"Considering that I'm now the embodiment of Pride, yeah you are right."
Mikael grinned and dashed so fast.
