Omnibus Anime: The End Begins with Playing the Hero King

The subsequent actions made everyone's scalp tingle.

Pāpīyas, grabbing the heart, opened its mouth wide and bit down, stuffing the heart in and devouring it.

At the same time, Pāpīyas, whose chest had been torn open like that, was also torn apart by other Pāpīyas.

"Ugh, gag!"

"To think—"

"Is this monster created by Beelzebub really okay?"

"To actually eat itself..."

The twelve Pāpīyas began to devour that Pāpīyas, finishing it off in mere moments. Both the human and divine spectators found it hard to stomach.

If it were a wild beast being eaten, it would be one thing, but Pāpīyas had a human-like appearance, and such cannibalism severely crossed the psychological boundaries of most people.

Some gods now harbored a different thought: they no longer wished for Pāpīyas to win the match. They hoped King Solomon would win and eliminate Pāpīyas.

Ah, and Beelzebub too. That guy was too dangerous, creating all sorts of things recklessly.

"Is it an illusion?"

"Why does Pāpīyas seem to have changed?"

"Its body seems a bit bigger."

Those who noticed this situation began to sweat more profusely.

Could this Pāpīyas also have combined with Beelzebub's [Gluttony] ability?

Speaking of which, why were the Pāpīyas scanning the spectator area? What was the meaning of them licking their tongues?

Were they considering them food too?

The next second, the Pāpīyas were once again drawn to King Solomon, who had made a move.

A magic circle spread out from him as the center, and someone immediately recognized the magic.

It was the magic circle for summoning the Seventy-two Pillars of Demons.

Summoning the Seventy-two Pillars of Demons again?

Was this to summon them to their deaths?

Chapter 078: King Solomon's Timeline Overlap Summon

Clearly, the Seventy-two Pillars of Demons had not been killed just now.

Otherwise, Pāpīyas wouldn't have said they had escaped.

And now King Solomon was going to summon the Seventy-two Pillars of Demons again? Wasn't he endangering them?

Wait, perhaps it wasn't the Seventy-two Pillars of Demons.

For example, what about the Great Demon King Berial from Hell?

But could Berial contend with these Pāpīyas?

Perhaps, he might summon multiple beings of Berial's caliber.

Upon thinking this, the gods and humans alike felt a sense of anticipation.

"Lord Zeus, do you think Berial can win?"

"Who knows..."

Zeus shrugged in response.

However, even as he said that, he didn't believe Berial could defeat these Pāpīyas.

If it were two or three of them, there might be a possibility, but thirteen of them—

No, if it were twelve, they definitely couldn't handle it, and these twelve were even slightly enhanced.

Why did it feel like they were stronger than thirteen?

What would happen if these twelve Pāpīyas devoured each other until only one remained?

Zeus's expression turned grave as he considered this.

This thing was truly too dangerous. If it lost control, it would cause immense problems.

Hades had just sent him a message, stating that in the ancient past, this thing had nearly destroyed the Underworld.

And Beelzebub had found a trace of this thing and replicated it. What was that guy thinking?

Did he want to destroy the entire Heavenly Realm?

Considering Beelzebub's past experiences, he might very well do something like that.

And Beelzebub could also have such vast resources to research various things. Was Odin the sponsor behind this?

What was Odin planning?

"This is really bad."

The two crows were starting to panic. Beelzebub's current actions were definitely making some of the Sovereign Gods feel threatened.

Odin nominating Beelzebub to fight would surely make those Sovereign gods overthink things.

Just as they were about to nag a few more words, the two ravens fell silent upon seeing the utter lack of emotion in their master's eyes.

As the gaze focused on the arena, under King Solomon's summon, the figure that appeared was—the Supreme Four Pillars.

And the figures of the others didn't appear?

Could it be they were so scared by Pāpīyas that they didn't dare answer the summons?

Thinking about it, it was normal. They had just been overwhelmingly defeated by Pāpīyas.

If they were summoned again this time, they might not be able to escape like last time and might actually die.

Huh?

There seemed to be a problem with summoning the Supreme Four Pillars as well.

There was an issue with their figures; they were shaking. This shaking wasn't from fear, but rather like a TV screen's image inexplicably shaking, making their figures appear layered on top of each other.

Wait, it wasn't just their figures; the magic circles that summoned them were also shaking, shaking so much it felt like multiple magic circles were layered together.

"Is this them refusing the summon?"

The Norse God of Trickery frowned and said.

"That makes sense. They got lucky and didn't die last time. If they're summoned again without the sand table artifact, they'll truly be killed."

Ares unhesitatingly believed they were resisting King Solomon's summon.

After all, wasn't this equivalent to suicide?

How could the Seventy-two Pillars of Demons obediently accept the summon? They were resisting.

"No, that's not right!"

The Underworld God Hades narrowed his eyes slightly. He noticed the expressions of the Four Pillar Gods; they clearly didn't look like they were resisting.

However, they also wore expressions of shock and bewilderment.

And this expression wasn't due to being summoned again, but rather something had happened that caused their astonishment.

His pupils contracted. Wasn't King Solomon's magic output a bit too high?

"Lord Zeus, the magic released clearly far exceeds that of the initial summoning of the Seventy-two Pillars of Demons, and also surpasses the counter-summoning during the competition for the Seventy-two Pillars of Demons. What is he doing?"

Hermes didn't understand why King Solomon was expending so much magic to forcibly summon the Seventy-two Pillars of Demons.

Hmm? Lord Zeus didn't respond or acknowledge his question. Instead, he leaned forward slightly, his eyes wide as he watched the scene.

Could it be that he had figured something out?

The shaking of the scene suddenly stopped, and the vast amount of shaking illusions all returned to normal.

At this point, the Seventy-two Pillars of Demons had only succeeded in summoning the Supreme Four Pillars.

The moment the summoning was successful, the Pāpīyas on the opposite side reappeared beside the Supreme Four Pillars with astonishing speed that left afterimages.

Three Pāpīyas against one. They would likely rip through the chests of the Supreme Four Pillars instantly.

"Wh—!"

Hermes's eyes snapped open wide.

He had expected the Supreme Four Pillars to be instantly defeated.

No, that's not right. King Solomon wouldn't be that foolish. This meant King Solomon might be returning to his old ways, using visual deception to provide assistance to the Supreme Four Pillar Gods.

However, this time there was no mirage-like deception.

This time, each of the Supreme Four Pillar Gods blocked three Pāpīyas' attacks themselves.

The next moment, before Hermes could even figure out what was happening, his vision blurred, and four Pāpīyas were eliminated.

One body was dismembered from top to bottom, one body had a basin-sized hole opened in its chest, one body's head exploded, and one body was twisted like an empty soda can.

"...What kind of development is this?"

The streamer Heimdallr was stunned.

Previously, the Seventy-two Pillars of Demons were easily ravaged and destroyed by the thirteen Pāpīyas.

How could the situation be reversed after the re-summoning, which only summoned the Supreme Four Pillars, with the Pāpīyas now being the ones being crushed?

Had the Pāpīyas' power suddenly weakened?

No, it was the Supreme Four Pillar Gods who had suddenly become incredibly strong in a bizarre way.

This situation must be related to King Solomon, as he was still outputting a massive amount of magic, injecting it into that summoning circle.

Wait, King Solomon wasn't just operating one magic circle; there was another one above his head.

Heimdallr, looking up, stared in astonishment at a massive magic circle operating in the sky outside the arena.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that this seemingly simple five-pointed star magic circle in the sky was actually composed of countless smaller magic circles.

"So that's how it is. This guy has done something astonishing again!"

Zeus, who had been leaning forward, straightened up and said with interest.

He could tell why the Supreme Four Pillars had become so powerful.

Well, anyone with eyes could see that King Solomon had granted them power boosts.

But he could see the essence of what made them stronger.

King Solomon had made this astonishing move, summoning Demon Gods from different times to this era and forcibly layering them.

This was the real reason why the Supreme Four Pillars had suddenly become so strong.

Oh?

Zeus sensed that the magic power released by King Solomon had suddenly increased significantly, though to many gods, this increase was imperceptible.

It was like adding a single drop of water to a cup that was already completely full; it looked like there was no change.

In other words, King Solomon's sudden surge in magic power was not due to his own will.

Was the opening finally starting to loosen?

Chapter 079: Merged into One, The Sixth Heaven Demon King Fully Awakens!

Although the Supreme Four Pillars, layered like this, had become stronger, their minds had become less flexible.

Originally, each Demon God had unique abilities, but now they had become mere berserkers, pure brute force.

Otherwise, if they had flexibly used their abilities, they could have completely destroyed the corpse of Pāpīyas on the other side, instead of allowing the corpse to remain.

This pure transformation into berserkers resulted in the remaining Pāpīyas occasionally stealing.

And the reason he could instantly kill four Pāpīyas just now wasn't because the Supreme Four Pillars were strong enough to easily obliterate them.

The reason they were able to kill four Pāpīyas in the initial clash was mainly because Pāpīyas had underestimated them.

The eight who had narrowly survived were now taking it seriously, so when they clashed with the Four Pillars again, they wouldn't be slaughtered in the blink of an eye.
