For example, this straight space you're moving through, when you step into it, it appears straight ahead from your perspective.

However, this straight space has now been warped and curved by Solomon, and you, being within this space, wouldn't notice its curvature, thinking it's still straight.

Simply put, it's like the Earth is round, and the ground isn't flat, but from a human's perspective, the ground is flat.

In addition to the above changes, there are other changes as well. He jumped back earlier, shouldn't he have created distance from Solomon?

Why did he still land in the same spot?

That's because he had already entered the space affected by Solomon's change in nature. It was as if the space inside was infinitely extended, and when he landed, it shrunk back to its original size.

It's like running on a treadmill, always staying in the same place.

As for why his attack on Solomon was repelled, it's because the fluctuations he sent out, due to the space becoming curved, were reflected back to attack him.

It's like a rebound.

So, when did King Solomon release this magic?

It should have been when he released his magic power, he also used this magic.

Then, how large is the range?

Closing his eyes and carefully sensing the subtle changes in space, Beelzebub determined that it wasn't large, just a radius of ten meters centered on King Solomon.

In that case, how can he attack?

Being able to change the direction of this space seems unsolvable.

However, it's not unsolvable. As long as the power exceeds the magic output used by Solomon to construct this magic, it can be forcibly destroyed.

But Beelzebub wouldn't rashly charge again. Because in the moment he attacked, although he was repelled by his own vibrations, those vibrations also swept around Solomon, allowing him to discover a situation that made his cold sweat run down his back.

Around King Solomon, countless magic circles had been constructed. These magic circles were invisible to the naked eye; he perceived them through the subtle flow of magic in the air.

These densely packed magic circles were like a dangerous area filled with landmines, where stepping in carelessly would result in being blown to smithereens.

No, he had already stepped on a landmine just now, but King Solomon had only repelled his attack without activating a large number of magic circles.

"Am I being underestimated?"

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Beelzebub's eyes became even darker.

With a wave of his hand, countless summoning circles appeared. A large number of modified monsters from his experimental base were summoned and ferociously charged towards King Solomon.

However, this time the Seventy-two Pillars of Demons had already reacted, preventing a single one from crossing them.

"[King of Flies]Beelzebub is summoning a large number of modified demons again. Is he planning to use a human wave tactic?"

Heimdallr also clicked his tongue.

Beelzebub's summons seemed endless, with a continuous stream of modified monsters charging forward.

So, is he planning to use a war of attrition through sheer numbers?

Speaking of which, there are too many.

What was this guy planning to do by creating so many of these monsters?

Was he planning to start some kind of war?

From now on, many gods have further increased Beelzebub's danger level.

"Hmm? What is this!!!"

Heimdallr suddenly noticed a situation and his eyes widened.

The demons that were killed were actually reviving.

No, to be precise, those severed parts were fusing and transforming into new monsters.

The monsters Beelzebub created were already chaotic chimera-like things, and now they had become even more horrifying.

And these new monsters were indeed more powerful than before, but they couldn't withstand even a few moves from the Seventy-two Pillars of Demons and were quickly torn apart.

Realizing that leaving behind corpses would allow these monsters to fuse and regenerate, the Seventy-two Pillars of Demons stopped relying purely on brute force and instead used various abilities to completely destroy their bodies.

"How many of these things did this guy create!"

"Damn it, it's endless!"

"Also, this space is too small!"

The so-called "space being too small" referred to this arena.

If it were a one-on-one fight, this arena would be more than enough.

However, with the Seventy-two Pillars of Demons on one side and an endless army of monsters on the other, the arena became crowded, making it disadvantageous for the Seventy-two Pillars of Demons to move freely.

If that's the case, then something was thrown from Baal's hand.

The next moment, the arena disappeared, replaced by a vast wilderness.

Isn't that cheating?

No, it's not cheating. In reality, they are still on the arena, but they have been transferred to a sandbox placed on the arena.

They appear to have shrunk countless times on this sandbox.

This sand table is a divine artifact, and it was even co-created with the assistance of the then-living King Solomon, showcasing the human king's unimaginably profound wisdom, leaving them with no choice but to look up in awe.

It's like a high-powered weapon. King Solomon was the designer of this weapon, but the subsequent crafting and construction were left to them to handle.

The abilities of the Seventy-two Pillars of Demons within this divine artifact will all be amplified. Of course, conversely, the energy consumption is also quite rapid.

Furthermore, any target they identify as an enemy will have its power suppressed by half within this sand table world.

Now that the space has expanded, it's convenient for them to act freely and properly torment Beelzebub.

"This is truly an unexpected situation."

The announcer, Heimdallr, was also brought into this world and, upon learning the truth, clicked his tongue once more.

The ensuing battle could only be described as a war between hells, with extremely bloody scenes.

The situation was also turning unfavorable for Beelzebub; his vibrations couldn't block all the attacks from the Seventy-two Pillars of Demons.

If not for the large army of monsters tying up a portion of the Seventy-two Pillars of Demons, he absolutely wouldn't have been able to hold on.

"What is this?"

"This is infuriating!!"

The divine spectators were grinding their teeth in anger. On the arena stage, only King Solomon was not pulled into the sand table. Instead, he summoned a table and chairs and leisurely enjoyed his tea.

So, was he overconfident?

Or did he disdain to deal with Beelzebub himself?

What the gods didn't know was that he was intentionally stalling for time.

If the battle of Ragnarok ended too quickly, the hidden shadows wouldn't have enough time to act and fully surface.

That's why he wasn't in a hurry.

Moreover, doing so was also convenient for depleting Beelzebub's large number of modified monsters.

Otherwise, if the creator of these things were dealt with first, and the mastermind behind it all took control, wouldn't they also cause trouble?

It would be better to let Beelzebub exhaust them all here.

Of course, he had also sensed that Beelzebub had some ulterior motive.

Even more importantly, he had a sixth sense given by Revelation: to proceed according to his own thoughts, and this battle would yield the best results.

Chapter 074: The Giant Egg Hatches Ultimate Darkness

Although the sand table was also very large, occupying nearly half the arena, the figures within were shrunk down so small that viewers looking directly at the sand table would feel like they were watching a Lilliputian world.

However, because Heimdallr was broadcasting it via holographic projection in the sky, the ferocity and brutality of the battle between the two sides could be clearly seen.

The scene before them was a war, a mythical war on a scale that had not been reached in thousands upon thousands of years.

This incredibly bloody and horrifying scene caused many divine realms to begin reflecting on themselves.

Although the gods occasionally had conflicts, large-scale wars had practically disappeared and would not happen again. But had their own side become too complacent?

The legions under their respective divine realms hadn't trained properly in a long time and were all slack.

If they were suddenly invaded or caught off guard one day, they truly didn't know what would happen.

So, after the battle of Ragnarok concluded, they would immediately have their main bases resume their past training and vigilance.

No, they should act now. Some gods, who were particularly prone to worrying, were truly concerned. Especially at this time, during the battle of Ragnarok, when defenses were at their most lax. They should immediately have their people back home on high alert, not slacking off.

"Ugh, this King Solomon, really..."

Goll was quite speechless.

This was supposed to be the ultimate battle between humans and gods, a battle for human survival, and it should have been a fierce struggle.

Yet, this king was so leisurely and calm, acting more like he was on vacation.

Ah, the fierce struggle was indeed happening, with the Seventy-two Pillars of Demons fighting the opposing side, while he was at leisure.

And this situation generally indicated that the human side had the upper hand.

At this time, King Solomon should have joined in, seized the momentum, and won this victory.

What was the meaning of this negligence? Was he truly too confident in himself?

Goll was genuinely a little worried, fearing that something unexpected might happen.

She glanced at her sister beside her, whose expression did not show joy but rather a hint of worry.

"What is he thinking..."

Brunhilde couldn't help but bite her thumb, unable to comprehend King Solomon's actions.

Was this arrogance?

Was this underestimation?

Looking at Beelzebub in the sand table world, although the situation was gradually becoming disadvantageous, his expression remained as calm as ever, which made Brunhilde a little uneasy.

Beelzebub must have some hidden trump card.

Correction, that's not right. There must be some backup plan.

Up to this point, he's only been purely summoning large numbers of modified beings to fight for him, and he's mainly been on the defensive.

You have to know, Beelzebub is said to be cursed by Satan, and anyone who gets involved with him will have their heart devoured.

Furthermore, he has also killed ancient demonic creatures from Hell so powerful that even the Sovereign had to take them seriously.

Simply put, Beelzebub clearly hasn't used his full strength yet, and it seems like he has some premeditated plan.

Could it be that King Solomon saw through all of this?

Right, this King seems to be able to see the future. Perhaps he truly foresaw something, which is why he isn't in a hurry.

Hmm? Beelzebub, who had been poker-faced throughout the scene, finally curved his lips slightly and showed a hint of a smile.

This made Brunhilde nervous; the situation was likely about to change drastically.

Sand Table World.

"Stop! Don't use pure energy attacks!"

Suddenly, one of the Supreme Four Pillars, a Demon God, immediately yelled at everyone to stop that behavior.

He had discovered a serious problem.

A portion of the energy they released wasn't dissipating normally after their techniques were used up; it was being absorbed by something.

It wasn't just their energy; a portion of the monsters they had killed was also being absorbed.

The flow of energy was directed towards Beelzebub. Was this guy trying to devour their power to strengthen himself?

This shouldn't be a problem, though. After all, he represents the high priest of Gluttony among the Seven Deadly Sins.

So, he immediately reported this situation to the others.

However, some individuals were doing the opposite!
