"Very well, since he wants to absorb so much."
"Then let him absorb his fill!!!"
"If you have the ability, absorb it all!!!"
Two of the Supreme Four Pillars didn't intend to stop their attack; instead, they planned to unleash even greater attacks all at once, aiming directly for Beelzebub.
And with these two leading the charge, many Demon Gods followed suit, attacking as well.
"Stop it!"
This Supreme God, one of the Four Pillars, who noticed the anomaly, wanted to intervene because he saw a smile on Beelzebub's face that made him uneasy.
Unfortunately, it was too late. The combined, world-shattering attacks of nearly half the Demon Gods fell upon Beelzebub and the densely packed monsters surrounding him.
Boom—!
The terrifying, apocalyptic explosion, as if to shatter the heavens and earth, caused the entire sandbox world to wail, feeling as though it could collapse at any moment.
The spectators watching from outside also began to panic.
They were genuinely worried that the sandbox artifact wouldn't withstand the impact, and the released explosive force would blow up the entire arena.
The more timid ones even cowered, covering their heads.
As for Heimdallr, the announcer, he hadn't anticipated so many Demon Gods suddenly increasing their power output.
The cumulative shockwave from their attacks had sent him flying a great distance, crashing heavily onto the ground with half his body buried in the earth.
With such a terrifying strike, some Sovereign Gods might have been lost if they weren't careful.
What about the condition of that "King of Flies," Beelzebub?
"Hehehehehe..."
A laugh that sounded like madness echoed from Beelzebub's location.
Judging from the confident tone of his voice, it seemed he was unharmed.
At the same time, Heimdallr felt an aura from that direction that sent a chill down his spine.
It was the power of darkness, so profound and deep that it made his hair stand on end, as if it were the ultimate darkness.
As the smoke gradually cleared, a scene of severe destruction was revealed.
However, what drew everyone's attention wasn't the severely deformed landscape after the devastation, but a giant egg in front of the "King of Flies," Beelzebub?
Crack, crack, crack!
The eggshell was cracking. After reaching a certain point, it suddenly burst open.
The being inside had forcibly broken out of the shell. It was a humanoid figure with two long horns on its head!
Chapter 075: Sixth Heaven Demon King Pāpīyas!
The arena's audience was extremely tense.
Beelzebub was not a person who usually smiled, and seeing him laugh like a madman now gave everyone a sense of unease.
Therefore, they were also very anxious about what kind of monster would emerge from the giant egg that was breaking open.
They hoped it wouldn't be another even more horrifying and ugly monster, as that would be a torture to their minds.
The moment the eggshell shattered, black mist spread out, much like a smoke bomb being detonated.
And within this black mist, a figure even darker than the mist itself appeared – a humanoid figure with strange double horns on its head.
"What is that—?"
A voice of astonishment came from a god who appeared somewhat nonchalant.
The lollipop he was chewing fell from his mouth because he was too stunned to hold onto it.
"What? Shaka!"
A god beside him spoke the divine name of this god.
Shaka was a Sovereign God from the Buddhist mythology system.
The fact that this esteemed being was so shocked indicated that Beelzebub had indeed created a formidable monster this time.
"This guy really seems to have created something terrifying!!!"
Shaka uttered in a somewhat low voice, his expression growing even more solemn.
He possessed an ability called "True Enlightenment Alaya-Vijnana," which allowed him to capture the actions of souls.
For example, when a person intends to do something, like wanting to drink water out of thirst, their consciousness acts before their body.
Shaka's ability captured these points of consciousness, thus foreseeing the person's subsequent actions.
But with the being Beelzebub had created, he couldn't sense even a trace of a consciousness point on it.
Even beings like Zeus, while they couldn't fully see future actions, could still see the soul's points of light, albeit vaguely, making it impossible to discern specific future actions.
This being, however, had no points of light at all, as if it had no consciousness, making it impossible to predict its potential actions.
In other words, was that thing inanimate?
No, this looks like a living thing, which means it has consciousness. It's just a matter of how big or small that consciousness is.
But I can't detect any light points. This means its soul is dark to the extreme, pure darkness.
You have to understand, even the darkest demons he's ever seen had a faint trace of light.
And the fact that this thing doesn't exist means it's incredibly dangerous, incredibly awful.
Beelzebub has truly created an incredible monster.
As the mist dissipated, the figure became completely clear. It looked human on the outside, but only on the outside.
His pupils contracted sharply, and cold sweat streamed down Shaka's face.
Because after the mist behind Beelzebub cleared, there were still over a dozen eggs, and these eggs were all hatching, revealing identical monsters.
"Who… who is that? Sister?"
Goll, on the Valkyrie's side, asked with a slight tremor.
The sight of those identical figures with what looked like bull horns and human bodies emerging from the eggs gave her goosebumps and made her shudder.
There were thirteen in total!
For some pantheons, this is an unlucky number.
"I don't know either!"
Brunhilde replied, her expression also becoming grave.
From these figures, she felt a darkness unlike anything she had ever experienced.
The dark power emanating from them seemed to make sunlight itself fear and avoid contact, which was why the sky was covered in clouds.
In the blink of an eye, the entire sky was pitch black, as if darkness was about to swallow the entire Heavenly Realm.
He also glanced at the Sovereigns, their expressions grave, which was enough to prove how terrifying that thing was.
Therefore, Brunhilde also became tense.
"……"
The people of Heaven looked even more displeased with the situation.
The Vice-Lord, in particular, had an even more somber expression.
"What exactly is that? Is it also a god?"
Ares, the Greek God of War, felt a bit unnerved looking at those things.
While Beelzebub was considered a Demon God, he could ultimately be seen as a deity. However, this thing before them, no matter how you looked at it, wasn't a god.
Of course, it couldn't be human either.
This thing was completely outside his knowledge, an unknown.
It was a monster that triggered a strong sense of rejection in his divine instincts.
It felt like a natural enemy, even more so than the demons of Hell.
"He's really researched something incredible."
Loki clicked his tongue.
This was also the first time he felt that this thing absolutely should not exist.
So, what exactly is this thing?
It's not a monstrous creature with a bizarre appearance, but rather has a human face?
Does this mean this thing might have existed before?
So, Beelzebub, having obtained a part of it, cloned it!
"That is a legendary berserker from the underworld."
The sudden interjection made Ares and Loki falter.
Turning to look, Ares stood up straight as a soldier seeing their superior officer.
"Wh-why are you here?"
A stuttering voice came from Ares.
The handsome man before him was a powerful being from Greek Mythology. He feared this person even more than Zeus.
"Lord Hades, please have a seat."
Ares immediately vacated his throne, offering it to him.
"After all, Beelzebub suddenly appeared, which made me quite curious."
Hades, after sitting down, looked at Beelzebub on the arena with a blank expression. He was one of the few individuals he could acknowledge, and the staff in Beelzebub's hand was something he had given him in the past.
"Lord Hades, you said that thing is a berserker from the underworld?"
Loki was very interested in what was just said.
"Yes, that is an ancient berserker recorded in the legends of the underworld. It is said that when the White Light and the Pure Black Yin converge, the Horn of the Underworld will awaken, and eternal darkness will be born. Its name is—the Sixth Heaven Demon King Pāpīyas!"
Hades' expression grew somber as this was mentioned.
He knew about Beelzebub's research, his search for ancient legendary artifacts, all with the goal of creating something to kill him.
But he hadn't expected Beelzebub to suddenly appear on the stage of the Ragnarok war representing the gods. Even more surprising, he had successfully resurrected this thing?
Correction, he had cloned it.
Cloning one was one thing, but so many?
That was going too far.
Furthermore, what concerned Hades was how Beelzebub had acquired enough resources to perform so many demonic creature modifications.
Did someone want to use Beelzebub to achieve their own goals?
Was it Odin?
Suddenly, following a strange roar, a scene unfolded in the sand-table world that shocked everyone.
Chapter 076: Overwhelming! The Seventy-two Pillars of Demons are Destroyed
Given Beelzebub's notoriously poor social skills, it was impossible for him to have personally created such a massive demon army all by himself.
This meant that someone else must have provided him with vast resources to create so many modified demons.
And the reason for providing such immense resources was for the demon army to be used when that specific moment arrived.
But Beelzebub had actually used them.
It wouldn't have been a problem if he had used only a few, but to deploy almost all of them for the Seventy-two Pillars of Demons to handle truly infuriated his sponsor.
However, something unexpected had happened from the sponsor's perspective.
Beelzebub had used them to nurture something quite surprising. Although there were only thirteen of them, their mere presence brought a deterrent that far surpassed those demon armies.
