So I'm a sheep.

"Although I am not a demon king, my power does have similarities to yours."

Baze was clearly very dissatisfied with this answer.

"You are the Holy Angel of Light!"

"Indeed, I am the Holy Angel of Light."

Sasha smiled. Baze's words had given her a lot of inspiration, so she decided to give the Demon King a complete answer.

A dazzling light emanated from the holy angel, and upon seeing this light, Baze was momentarily dazed.

It's so familiar! This is my favorite Infernal Aurora!

The aurora borealis, unique in the universe and a specialty of the icy inferno, why...?

Oh, right, she is the Holy Angel of 'Light'.

Even the aurora borealis in purgatory is still light!

“Saliye, you have stolen the power of the Frozen Inferno.”

His murderous intent surged, and Baze's cold face gradually turned ferocious.

You will pay the price!

The Demon King's territory expanded once again, but this time, Sasha did not retreat.

"Baze, open your eyes wide and look carefully. I'll show you what a Holy Angel of Light really is!"

The pungent smell of sulfur began to spread, like the destructive colors of millions of volcanoes erupting simultaneously, and the girl became that light.

The moment the light appeared, it was imbued with the essence of a scorching inferno.

Under Baze's incomprehensible gaze, the holy angel, empowered by the source of purgatory, tore open his own domain with overwhelming force.

How can it be?

It's absolutely, utterly absurd!

The holy angel received the blessing of the source of purgatory and then defeated the demon king?!

Murphy and Skadi were both stunned. Seeing Baze retreating in a sorry state, the Dark Lord rushed to his aid.

"Sally, what kind of angel are you!"

As endless darkness descended, Sasha decisively retreated.

"Hmph, I am the holy angel Sally. If the Scorching Purgatory insists on helping me, there's nothing I can do about it."

.....................................

“Sister Sally…”

Seeing Skadi's unusually complicated expression as she arrived, Sasha quickly said, "There is light even in purgatory. Because I am the Holy Angel of Light, I have mastered a little bit of power related to purgatory."

A tiny bit of power related to purgatory?

It's not that simple!

Only demon lords born in Purgatory itself, such as Murphy, Baze, Asan, and the former Amon, can receive the blessing of Purgatory's essence when they fight against powerful enemies in their respective Purgatory.

This is because their origins are perfectly aligned with the purgatory to which they belong, and only demon kings recognized by the purgatory can receive such treatment.

Outsiders like Lilith have never received the favor of the Blade Purgatory's origin.

Why does the Holy Angel Sariel receive the same treatment as the local demon king?

Not only was the power she just displayed perfectly aligned with the scorching inferno, but most importantly, the inferno recognized Sally as the Demon King!

'Sister Sally, she's actually a Demon King recognized by Purgatory.'

The Scorching Purgatory wouldn't blindly identify a Demon King. Since the girl was able to receive the power of Purgatory, it meant that she met the Demon King's standards in every aspect.

The more you think about it, the more terrifying it becomes...

Even if they didn't realize the seriousness of the matter before, and only thought that they had 'freeloaded' the Scorching Purgatory once.

But seeing Skadi's current expression, Sasha knew things were in serious trouble.

"Well, this was an accident."

The girl said solemnly, "I am forever a holy angel recognized by the Mother Goddess, and I have nothing to do with purgatory."

After hearing the emphasized words 'Mother Goddess acknowledges', Skadi slowly composed herself and concealed the strange expression on her face.

“That’s right, Sister Sally, you are a holy angel recognized by the Mother Goddess.”

“Without any purgatory power, you just defeated Baze while wielding the Death Knell.”

Skadi forced a smile: "Congratulations, sister, for defeating two great demon kings in succession, greatly enhancing the prestige of the Heavenly Realm."

"..."

"Not many angels saw that, right?" Sasha asked worriedly.

"Sister, you're also confused. When the Demon King clashes with the Holy Angel, only those of equal strength are qualified to watch."

"Currently, only I and the two demon kings know about this."

After a pause, Skadi continued, "Neither I nor they will spread rumors."

......................................

As Skadi said, the two demon lords kept silent about the fact that the Holy Angels had gained the recognition of the Source of Purgatory.

They were actually very worried: what if Sariel were to be ruthless and directly admit her identity as the Demon King, and single-mindedly try to split Purgatory apart?

At that time, there will be absolutely countless demons following her.

This might seem unbelievable to other races, after all, Sariel is a holy angel, so what if she gains the approval of Purgatory? An enemy is still an enemy.

But that's not the case!

The Demon King reigns supreme over billions of demons; he is the highest being in purgatory.

However, the Demon King cannot be compared to Purgatory itself.

Just as angels revere the Five Saints, but the Five Saints combined do not have the same weight as the goddess.

We absolutely have to find a way to kill her!

Murphy gritted his teeth and said, "If Sally chooses to stay in Purgatory as the Demon King and fight us to the death, then it will truly be a catastrophe for us."

"At that time, Purgatory will fall into endless internal strife and completely lose the qualification to compete with the Celestial Realm!"

“Yes, with countless demons following her in the Scorching Purgatory and the Frozen Purgatory, Sally can definitely severely damage the Fivefold Purgatory.”

"We could either split Purgatory apart in one fell swoop, or we could simply pack up and return to Heaven. Sigh." Even Baze, who was known for his ruthlessness, sighed.

"..."

"No, how come the demons of your Frozen Hell also follow Sally?" Murphy asked in astonishment.

“I have a strong feeling that if Saliye displays that aurora in the Frozen Purgatory, she will also gain the recognition of the Purgatory’s origin.”

"At that time, she will be the first demon king in history to be recognized by both hells."

Murphy's face immediately turned ashen: "That scourge must be killed!"

The two demon kings were desperate to kill Sally, but that holy angel was no easy opponent.

"Based on her performance when she killed Crios, even if you and I join forces, it will be very difficult to kill her."

“Unless all the demon kings join forces to kill her, but Sariel can hold out for a short time, the other holy angels will not stand by and watch her die.”

.......................................

After much discussion, the two demon lords realized that they seemed to have no way to deal with Sariel.

"If only I could use the Dominator's Scepter..." Murphy sighed to the heavens.

“Then we must get rid of the goddess first,” Baze said slowly.

"Yes, but it's not the right time yet."

"When will be the right time?"

"Let Lilith try it out according to her own ideas first, otherwise she won't give up."

Volume 1: Chapter 597 Star Domain

The demon kings stood in a tense standoff with the celestial army, and only breathed a sigh of relief after some time had passed and they saw that Sariye had not taken any special action.

Ultimately, it comes down to their different perspectives. Murphy and Baze are worried that once Purgatory splits, they will no longer have the confidence to resist the supreme pantheon.

Sasha felt that splitting Purgatory was pointless; if Purgatory weakened, and other evils emerged, then all her efforts would be in vain.

"You bastard, Baze! We'll settle this another day!"

Without using the Death Knell or drawing upon the power of Purgatory again, the Holy Angels were unable to defeat the Demon King head-on.

However, Sasha needed a tough opponent to help her adapt to her growing power, and this situation suited her just fine.

"Humph"

Baze snorted coldly and did not stop the Holy Angel from leaving, but he was indeed somewhat puzzled.

'What's going on? Sally seems a little stronger than last time?'

Even the Demon King wasn't entirely sure if it was really just a tiny bit.

Shaking his head, Baze thought it must be his imagination.

At their level, their strength is almost fixed. Let alone such a small amount of skill, they might not become even a tiny bit stronger over tens of thousands of years.

As for the possibility that the Holy Angel might have been hiding his true strength...

'There's absolutely no need for that. Why hide such a tiny bit of strength?'

............................................

In just one year, the trees were laden with fruit.

Although the seeds of calamity have now spread throughout Purgatory, and it should be a time of great harvest, the demons' madness has still somewhat exceeded the expectations of the Holy Angels.

"Perhaps after this war, the number of demons who die on the battlefield will be far less than the number of demons who die in the internal strife."
