"Aren't you planning to go out for a walk today?" Akeno Himejima asked with a smile.
Rias shook her head and said, "I'm not in the mood for that today. A fourth force has appeared in our human territory. We must tell my brother and father about this."
Rias had a feeling of unease in her heart. She always felt that something was going to happen, and this feeling made her very uncomfortable. Only when she returned home and received the protection of her family could this fear subside.
Just then, the gloomy sky darkened, and a colossal object slowly descended from the clouds.
"What is that?" Rias stared at the enormous object in the sky, somewhat bewildered.
The Demon Realm has no concept of day and night. The sky is always gloomy, just like the gloomy weather before rain in the human world. However, this gloomy weather has lasted for countless years in the Demon Realm.
However, now, the enormous creature in the sky revealed its true form as it landed. It was a demon with a body as large as a mountain, and it had a structure similar to a human, except that its entire body was covered in grayish-white bone armor.
He was so enormous that his shadow alone obscured a significant portion of the city. Keep in mind that cities in the Demon Realm are far larger than those in the Human Realm, yet he still appeared immensely gigantic. His enormous, outstretched bone wings were particularly striking, blotting out the sky. This colossal being was larger than most ancient dragons.
Not only Rias, but even the composed Akeno Himejima showed a look of fear. The energy emanating from that enormous creature in the sky was terrifyingly intense.
At this moment, Li Wei, or rather the skeletal demon Abidas, revealed his most ferocious side to all the demons on the ground.
The massive Abydas landed, causing the ground to shake violently as if it were a major earthquake. He opened his gaping maw, and the immense suction force pulled everything around him into his mouth.
··· ·Requesting flowers···· ·
Everything, whether it was a large number of lower-level demons or various buildings torn to shreds, was sent into his mouth. Abidas's maw was a spatial passage inside, directly connected to the inside of Li Wei's magical artifact, the Soul-Sweeping Bell. All the demons sucked in were refined into pure energy that he could absorb.
Half of the city's land was scraped off, and all the scraps were sucked into his mouth.
Avidas let out a satisfied burp, took a deep breath, and opened his blood-red maw again, this time in the direction where Rias and Akeno Himejima were.
"Danger!" Rias unfurled demonic wings from her back, grabbed Himejima Akeno's hand, and pulled her upwards, dragging her into the sky.
........ .....
At this moment, the demons, having realized what was happening, spread their wings and, no longer concerned about the restrictions on casting spells within the city, used all sorts of methods to try and get away from this terrifying monster.
However, that terrifying suction force also came with a targeted anti-magic effect. Under such overwhelming attacks, the lower-level demons had no power to resist and screamed as Abidas was sucked into their mouths.
As a high-ranking demon, Rias could only barely ensure that she and Akeno Himejima wouldn't be sucked in and devoured, but that was all. The oppressive feeling brought by this skeletal demon, whose body was as large as a mountain, made Rias's body tremble slightly.
Avidas looked at Rias and Akeno Himejima, who were still standing there and hadn't been sucked away. A look of confusion appeared on his face, which was covered with white bone armor plates. At the same time, he opened his mouth wide, revealing a terrifying maw with multiple layers of sharp teeth inside, and a huge suction force was generated again.
Just as Rias was feeling despair, a red light struck Abidas's cheek, knocking his head to the side. A huge suction force pulled him towards the ground, swallowing up a large amount of building debris and lower-level demons who couldn't escape in time.
At this moment, a figure completely covered in black and red armor, with several pairs of huge demon wings sprouting from its back, appeared before Rias and Akeno Himejima.
"Brother?!" Rias exclaimed in surprise.
Chapter 1. The True Demon
Appearing before Rias was her brother, the current Demon King, Sajax, one of the most powerful beings in the Demon World.
Sajax turned his head and said to Rias and Akeno Himejima behind him, "You two should leave here first. This guy is not someone you can handle."
Sajax's expression beneath his helmet and mask was quite serious. The sudden appearance of the giant demon had caused enormous damage to the city, destroying numerous buildings and devouring a large number of lower-level demons. For him, a high-ranking member of the demon realm, this was undoubtedly a slap in the face.
Sajax was born in Gremory, but he inherited the name of the first Lucifer, which shows how amazing his strength was. But even he couldn't guarantee that he could win against this terrifying giant skeletal demon.
Just then, more reinforcements arrived, along with another demon lord, a female demon who inherited the name Leviathan, Seraph Leviathan, whose real name was Seraph Siddi.
The colossal skeletal demon, as large as a mountain, emitted strange gurgling sounds from its throat. After a deafening cough, it said, "I devoured those weaklings and absorbed some of their memories, learning the language of this world. Why don't you meekly let me eat you, you weak insects?"
Sajax frowned, but the visor of his armor concealed his expression.
Sajax said, "Who are you? Why are you doing this?"
"Who am I?" The skeletal demon looked bewildered, then pointed a thumbs-up at himself and said proudly, "You insects of this world don't know my name yet. I am the 'Star Slayer' who roams the universe, the demon Abidas! Use your insect-like brains to remember, I am the one who will bring despair and fear to the entire world!"
Abidas's voice was quite rough, and the huge sound resounded through the sky. The surviving demons all looked at the enormous monster standing in the city with fearful eyes.
Sajax said, "I had no idea you existed, and besides, you're a demon, aren't you? Why would you kill your own kind like this?!"
"Huh?" Abidas made a funny listening face and said with a sneer, "These trashy little bugs dare to call themselves demons? What a joke! You bugs dare to be my kind? I will never acknowledge you weak trash as demons. Your existence insults the word 'demon,' so I have decided to destroy you."
Sajax now held a longsword in his hand, and a blinding red light enveloped his demonic wings; he was ready for battle.
Sajax gleaned a crucial detail from the other's words: the other mentioned "this world," implying that the giant demon Abidas was not from this world.
As a top-tier fighter in the Demon Realm and the pillar of all the demons present, Sajax knew he could not retreat here. If even he, as the Demon King, lost, then the Demon Realm would truly never have a day of peace.
Sajax said firmly, "Whoever you are, if you want to destroy the Demon Realm, you are my enemy. And do you really think you can definitely win?"
Abidas said, "Hmph! I could eat thousands of insects like you in one bite. Who do you think you are? The prison warden of the empire? You mere insects dare to defy me. Although I am not in good condition right now, you insects are still not someone you can defy."
Sajjas gleaned more details from the other party's words. The fact that the "Imperial Warden" caught his attention, and that the other party made no attempt to hide his poor condition, indicated that he was absolutely confident in defeating him, weighed heavily on his mind.
Just then, a dazzling light suddenly burst forth from the distance, and then a torrent of golden light head-on struck Abidas.
The torrent of light engulfed Abidas, but the roaring Abidas used the bone armor on his left arm to withstand the terrifying energy barrage and forcefully split the torrent of light in two.
The torrent of light, now broken through, continued to wash over everything in its path, everything in its trajectory and artillery line, except for Abidas, turning to ash. Most of the city was wiped out, and the torrent of light exploded into two enormous mushroom clouds in the distance, the shockwaves utterly destroying the already ravaged city...
Abidas withstood the bombardment, and the bone armor on his left arm was charred, but his body remained unharmed.
Abidas roared into the distance, "Mam! Is this how you treat me, my comrade in the escape team?! If you want to fight, I'm ready!"
Sajax followed Adidas's gaze and saw another enormous object slowly descending in the distance. It was a strange aggregate composed of strips of light, all of which slowly swirled around a huge golden sphere at the center.
"As a fallen angel, hunting you demons by any means necessary is the meaning of my existence and my mission. Although we escaped from the Empire's prison, that doesn't stop me from hunting you, Abidas. You are now extremely weak. How many more attacks like that can you withstand?" A strange voice echoed in everyone's minds. This voice was like the result of multiple voices overlapping, sounding like an old man and a young man, a man and a woman. This overlapping voice gave people a chilling sense of mental pollution.
The confrontation between the two colossal beings left the native demons, led by Sajax, somewhat bewildered. What was happening to this world? Why were such terrifying monsters appearing one after another?
Abidas 4, with a mocking smile on his face, said, "You want to kill me and then curry favor with the warden? Do you think the emperor, high and mighty, would tolerate the existence of such outcasts as us? To the emperor, we are nothing more than an infinitely powerful energy reactor. Do you really think that killing me will grant you imperial citizenship?"
The chaotic sounds echoed in everyone's minds once again.
"Killing you is my mission. As long as I can still move, I will definitely take your life. There's no point in saying more. Prepare to be taken down again."
"Damn! Still stubbornly holding on? How many more rounds could you possibly launch with that attack? You're even weaker than me now, yet you still dare to provoke me!" Abidas roared, his voice like thunder, so powerful that even a demon's hearing, far exceeding that of a human, would feel a pain in its ears.
Chapter 1. True Power
Faced with the two colossal figures confronting each other, Sajax used telepathic magic to send orders to his men, instructing them to evacuate and rescue the ordinary lower-level demons, keeping them as far away from the two monsters as possible.
Meanwhile, Sajax and Seraph led their elite troops to remain there in case of any unforeseen events.
The strange fallen angel swirling around the center with a golden band of light is Levi's other puppet incarnation, the artillery-type fallen angel, Mam.
A tall figure slowly descended beside Mam. It was a gigantic humanoid being hundreds of meters tall, with a slender body, completely different from the stocky Abidas. Despite its enormous size, it gave people a delicate feeling.
"If I join in, can we take you down, Abidas?" A slightly hoarse voice rang out.
Abidas's face was quite ugly. He said, "Linde, you have too many of you this time, so I'm not going to play along. But next time, I definitely won't let you get away with it!"
After uttering his harsh words, Abidas's enormous body turned into dust and vanished with the wind, disappearing without a trace in a short time.
All the demons looked at the newly appeared behemoth. If they knew EVA, they would realize that the slender giant covered in black armor was the black version of the EVA machine, only much larger than the original, with a height of over 400 meters.
A slender giant clad in black armor, wielding a double-helixed spear in each hand, with wings of black energy behind him. The terrifying pressure emanating from him made all the demons afraid to even breathe. Their opponent was a fallen angel hunting demons, and they were demons too—that was the most damning part.
However, after Abidas disappeared, two enormous fallen angels with different appearances also vanished, leaving behind only a city in ruins and demons still in a daze.
At this moment, Rias, who was watching the fight from afar, recalled the young man she had met in the human world during the day.
Two fallen angels and two demons escaped from the Empire's prison. They are terrifying beings capable of destroying planets, and even in their current extremely weakened state, they are still beyond the capabilities of ordinary demons.
Rias's heart was filled with fear. These monsters were already so terrifying in their current weakened state. If they were to regain their strength, would the demon race still have a chance to survive?
Although the enormous monster who called himself Abidas claimed to be a demon, they were merely different races with the same name. Although both were called demons, they were fundamentally different.
“Compared to us, that monster is the real demon,” Rias said with a grim expression.
Himejima Akeno gently patted her full headlights and said with a wry smile, "This time, we've been lucky to escape with our lives. We might not be so lucky next time."
Rias was still shaken. Originally, she was quite satisfied with the power she possessed, as she was already at the pinnacle of power among the new generation of demons. However, the giant demons and giant fallen angels from another world made her realize what true power was like.
Compared to those monsters, she is now, just as Abydas said, nothing more than an insect.
Rias looked down at the city, a city reinforced with magic. The strength of its buildings surpassed even the permanent military fortifications of the human world, but in front of those behemoths, they were nothing but tofu.
Moreover, the strange fallen angel called Mam's bombardment pierced directly through the city's outer shield. Keep in mind, that was a city-level shield, practically a fortress-level defense. But even that defense was as fragile as paper for Mam, who was still in a weakened state.
Rias couldn't imagine the destructive power that Mam, at her peak, could unleash with a single cannon shot. What that person said—that these fallen angels and demons possessed the power to easily destroy a planet individually—shouldn't be a lie.
Rias wanted to complain inwardly that her luck was really bad. She hadn't expected to encounter those demons and fallen angels who had escaped from the other world as soon as she returned to the Demon World. If her brother Sajax hadn't arrived in time, she and Akeno Himejima would probably have been killed there.
Now that the crisis has temporarily subsided, Rias and Akeno Himejima have returned to Sajax's side. Sajax is currently directing his men to salvage the city. Not all the demons escaped in time, and there must be survivors in the ruins below. Their task now is to carry out rescue operations and save as many trapped people as possible.
“Brother, please let us help as well,” Rias said.
"That's perfect," said Sajax, who had already disarmed. "You guys can take charge of the search in the East District and assist the rescue team. It's really a headache; there's just been more and more trouble lately."
Rias nodded and, along with Akeno Himejima, lowered their altitude to the same level as the other rescue team members. Using their enhanced senses, which were stronger than those of ordinary demons, they searched for the trapped individuals buried under the rubble.
Meanwhile, the two fallen angel puppets and the demon puppet, which had already completed their performance, were taken back into Li Wei's sea of consciousness. He had achieved his goal, and now Rias had no choice but to believe him.
Li Wei also used Abidas's clone to send a lot of "medicinal herbs" into the Soul-Swaying Bell. Unfortunately, the quality of these "medicinal herbs" was really not good. Even if they were all refined, the power that could be extracted was not much. For him, it was better than nothing.
After the establishment of the Oriental Mysticism Research Laboratory within Kuoh Academy, Li Wei lived and ate at the school. Since there was still some time before the start of the semester, Li Wei wasn't in a hurry to cause trouble for Hyoudou Makoto. Instead, he collected anime and manga from this world. For an otaku, traveling to other worlds, besides encountering local beauties, had another advantage: the ability to see various anime and manga not available in the real world.
The animation level in this world is no worse than that in the real world, and even has advantages in some aspects. Li Wei is quite satisfied with the animation in this world.
Li Wei sensed that Rias and Akeno Himejima were walking this way, so he put away the manga he was reading, took out a literary work from this world from his consciousness space, and began to read it.
Chapter 1. A Visit
Rias and Akeno Himejima arrived at the attic. Rias's feelings were quite complicated. She hadn't expected that the other party's words would be verified so quickly, and that the price of verification would be so painful.
The city that was before, as a bridgehead connecting the demon realm and the human world, was of great significance to the demon race. It was like a "special zone," with all sorts of good things being poured into it. Therefore, this city that connected the two worlds was among the top tier of the demon realm in terms of development in all aspects, and it was a "first-tier city" for the demons.
