Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 434 Mission: 01-4 Modern Babylon

The second layer above the Destruction Edge Prison, originally a "small world" simulating a singularity, has now been transformed by "a certain heroic spirit" into a vast, modern tourist city. Nero, following the aura of the Warcraft He, stood on a sunny street, shielding himself from the sun as he gazed at the Golden Temple towering in the city's center. He sighed heartily, "What a mess!"

If I had to describe the scene here in one word, it would probably be "debauchery." The Heroic Spirit who rules this place is worthy of being the Emperor of Babylon, having transformed the singularity into a gigantic amusement park for his own enjoyment. And look at those piles of swimsuited female Heroic Spirits on the distant shore... Is this a harem?

Judging by its aura, the beast sealed here is clearly the "lustful" Luxuria. It's undeniable that "a certain heroic spirit" is incredibly agile. Nero barely felt like he had separated the beast, but he had already transformed this place into his own paradise through its power.

Or perhaps the flow of time varies between singularities? That's actually good news. At least Nero wouldn't have to worry about collecting his father and uncle's bodies when he got out. But the Sparda family is known for their resilience. Dante managed to survive the unification of the Mondes alone, so with four of them now, he shouldn't be so easily defeated.

Well, anyway—it's time for someone to unseal the demon beast He.

Nero walked straight into the golden temple - or the lobby of the "Ancient Babylonian Theme Hotel".

"Sir, I'm sorry that our hotel is fully booked..."

Sculpted guards in golden armor, the "soldiers" who doubled as hotel waiters, approached. But unfortunately, Nero wasn't a guest, nor was she there to listen to his nonsense. She had one thing in mind.

"Could you please call the hotel manager?" Nero interrupted him, smiling but asking without letting anyone refuse.

"I'm so sorry, the manager is on break right now!"

"I didn't ask for your permission."

Nero's gaze instantly turned cold. She grabbed the man's golden helmet and pressed it into the ornate tile floor. "Call the manager of your hotel."

"Guest, please don't interfere with the normal operation of the hotel!"

Another soldier was stabbed into the ground upside down by her.

"A troublesome guest has appeared! Everyone, stop him!"

The number of people stuck upside down in the ground continued to increase.

"I said, call the hotel manager over to me."

Finally, a voice without any tension sounded from the stairs behind the lobby: "...It's so noisy."

A man in a black shirt, a gold watch, a gold bracelet, a gold chain, and gold earrings, with golden hair and glittering gold, walked out, rubbing the back of his neck. "How arrogant! If you want to see me, you should at least make an appointment in advance, right?"

"I'm in a hurry," Nero replied calmly, stabbing another soldier he was holding into the floor. "Hello, golden. I'm so sorry for ruining your floor."

"That's fine. I will personally collect the corresponding compensation. However..."

He stared at Nero, who stood in the center of the hall, surrounded by soldiers but showing no fear, and narrowed his scarlet eyes. "Looking at this aura, I originally thought it was the Broken Back Beast finally regaining some strength. I didn't expect it to be that."

"Do I look like that guy?" Nero asked.

"Yeah, very similar. Really." The golden man stood there with his hands on his hips, sneering, "His hedonism and utterly self-absorbed attitude, along with that filthy cup and nearly overflowing lust, almost made me suspect he'd been fully resurrected."

"Hearing you say that, I feel relieved."

Nero chuckled and saluted him: "Then, Your Majesty, the King of Ancient Babylon, can you hand over the magical beast He in your hand to me?" "Oh? It seems that you don't know how to respect people. This is different from wild beasts. But..."

The blond man showed countless golden ripples behind him and raised his chin: "What if I say no?"

"Then I'll have to get it myself."

"You really don't take me seriously. Fine, then give it a try, but don't destroy my hotel again."

He said, “Otherwise, I cannot guarantee what you want will turn out to be.”

"That's really an unreasonable request."

"This is the punishment for those who are disrespectful to the king."

"I see."

In an instant, Nero disappeared from the spot. Her voice then reached the blond man's ear: "So, you want me to take your Majesty out first?"

"what?!"

Instantly, an unparalleled force pierced the man's body from the back of his neck. Nero suddenly appeared behind him, manifesting the magical tool "Gilgamesh" on his body. The impact steel exploded with power, grabbing him by the collar and sending him flying like a rocket. Like a blazing meteor, the two of them shot out of the hotel door and into the clear sky.

"There's such a gap—"

The blond man's eyes widened in astonishment. He waved his hand and pulled out countless sharp knives and swords from his treasure chest, shooting them towards Nero. At the same time, he reached out and grasped a conical "long sword."

But Nero wasn't afraid of the attacks from those high-level Noble Phantasms. With a single hand, he unleashed a curtain of impenetrable blades, severing them all. After reaching the apex, Nero grasped the glittering man, and after passing the highest point of the parabola, he plummeted toward the distant coastline.

"Are you sure you want to use that thing?" She grabbed the man's collar and asked slowly, "If it's the weapon I know of, I'm afraid this world might not be able to withstand its full force, right?"

"...So, if it's not a full-strength attack, then it poses no threat to you."

With a loud thud, the two of them crashed into the sea, sending waves scattering the "hotel guests" who were playing in the water nearby.

"Tsk."

The blond man gasped in surprise, stood up from the water, and shook his soaked hair fiercely. "Never mind, after all, I was originally planning to help that greedy beast boost his energy. Giving you the Magic Beast will accomplish my goal..."

He waved his hand away as if being very generous. "Here you go. Get out of here right now."

"Thank you very much."

Nero took the glittering magic core with a smile, stared at it for a moment, and swallowed it in one gulp.

"...This arrogant attitude is exactly the same."

The golden-clad man gave her one last glance, then turned around angrily and returned to the hotel.
