Omnibus Anime: Doomsday Start as Hero King

Even so, the Supreme Four Pillars held an almost overwhelming advantage, leaving the Pāpīyas struggling just to parry the attacks, let alone counter them.

Therefore, they needed to strengthen themselves, by consuming themselves.

However, some were killed during the adventure.

"Trash, is that all you've got?"

"Only four trash left?"

Two of the Demon Gods mocked the Pāpīyas opposite them, contorting their faces.

Earlier, in the sandbox world, these Pāpīyas had viciously mocked the Seventy-two Pillars of Demons, calling them trash.

"Good, very good!"

"I can't hold back anymore."

"Since that's the case, the three of us are yours!"

Three of the Pāpīyas suddenly said this to another Pāpīyas.

The next second, this Pāpīyas thrust both hands into the hearts of two other Pāpīyas, while also opening its massive maw and biting down fiercely on the chest of the last Pāpīyas.

Consumption!

This scene made the audience's scalps tingle once more.

But an even more chilling feeling arrived as the aura emanating from the final Pāpīyas made some people feel an urge to flee.

Now, it bent its body, and its body trembled.

"It's this feeling!"

It roared as it suddenly straightened up, the sound waves shaking the arena.

"It's this feeling that I can kill you all!!!"

The moment it finished shouting this, the world shook, causing the audience to scream again.

More people nervously watched the fighting platform, because as soon as the Pāpīyas finished speaking, the Supreme Four Pillars attacked, and the clash of their powers caused the world to shake.

"He, he caught them!"

Heimdallr's eyes bulged out of his glasses.

As he said, all four fists of the Supreme Four Pillars were caught by the Pāpīyas.

And here, "caught" didn't mean catching four fists with hands. Besides, the Pāpīyas only had two hands.

Here, "caught" meant the Pāpīyas directly endured the opponent's attacks with its body.

Its face, chest, side waist, and spine were all deformed and caved in.

"Caught two, hehehehe!"

A chilling sound came from its deformed mouth, and black ribbon-like things spreading from its body had already wrapped around the arms of the four individuals.

In response, the faces of the Supreme Four Pillars changed. They pulled their hands back, created distance, and their expressions turned grim.

Their arms were broken, torn off by the Pāpīyas, and with a gulp, they were instantly swallowed without chewing.

"Huh? What is it doing?"

Although a more earth-shattering battle should have ensued immediately, the Pāpīyas' sudden actions confused Heimdallr.

It turned and leaped towards the pillar platform where Beelzebub was, casting a brutally fierce gaze.

Heimdallr suddenly felt uneasy.

When the Pāpīyas first appeared, it had threatened to betray its master. Could it already have enough power to resist now?

"You can't control me anymore, so bring it out. I can sense a lot more of me on you. Once I become more complete, I can give you a quick death!!!"

The Pāpīyas, as it spoke, exuded an oppressive aura that made the air around the man named Beelzebub scream, and even the pillar platform began to crack.

And within its seemingly magnanimous gaze, a hint of cruelty flashed.

"Is that so? You've fully awakened?"

"Yes, my mind is completely clear. I know who I am—the Sixth Heaven Demon King Pāpīyas."

Although it had introduced itself when it first appeared, it was different from now.

Before, it was in a fragmented state, with memory gaps and a sluggish mind.

Now, having remembered everything completely, it knew it was once the berserker of the underworld, a berserker who had almost destroyed the underworld.

"I see..."

Beelzebub let out a voice that sounded somewhat weary, and also a bit relieved.

Then, he lifted his cloak, and a pile of glass jars fell out.

Inside these glass jars was a strange creature with double horns, a mouth, and a tail all integrated into one.

These were the Pāpīyas seeds that Beelzebub had cultivated.

They writhed, all moving in one direction: towards the Pāpīyas, yearning to merge into one.

With that, the complete Pāpīyas should be able to kill him.

As for the conditions offered by the sponsor that he couldn't refuse before, Beelzebub actually never expected them from the start.

It wasn't that he didn't want his friend resurrected, but that a resurrected friend would still be living under that person's control, their life and death both dictated by the other party.

In that case, it would be better not to be resurrected. It would be better to follow his friend, letting Pāpīyas kill him.

That's why he hid his research on Pāpīyas from the sponsor.

And the sponsor was that person!

"This is bad!"

Hades' expression suddenly changed.

But it was too late, because this arena had activated a protective barrier for the audience seats, preventing him from rushing over immediately.

He could only watch as Pāpīyas instantly shattered all the glass jars, causing those things to launch themselves and latch onto his body, then burrow into Pāpīyas like leeches.

The Demon God who had once almost destroyed the entire Underworld was about to fully awaken.

Chapter 080: The Bizarre Heart Reversal Pāpīyas

Goosebumps covered his entire body, because the scene before him was truly nightmarish.

That fist-sized, two-horned, mouth full of sharp teeth, strange tail? Or was it like an insect?

These numerous things pounced on Pāpīyas, burrowing into his skin just like leeches.

"What is all this?"

"So disgusting."

"What has Beelzebub been researching?"

No matter which side of the audience they were on, everyone felt physically and psychologically uncomfortable witnessing this scene.

Especially the gods, who also harbored such worries. Beelzebub had created these bizarre, insect-like things, but surely these were all that were present in this arena?

There shouldn't be any more, right?

They were genuinely worried that this guy might have released these things in the heavens. They worried that while they were sleeping, these things might suddenly burrow into their bodies, and who knew what would happen then.

Letting this guy represent the gods in the competition was a completely wrong choice.

No, perhaps this choice was exactly what allowed them to realize Beelzebub's terror. If Beelzebub hadn't participated, they wouldn't have known what terrifying things he was researching.

By then, it might have been too late to guard against it.

Their gaze then focused back on Pāpīyas. After those things burrowed into his body, they moved strangely, causing bulges to slide across his surface, which was truly disgusting and terrifying.

Pāpīyas himself, however, seemed to be enjoying the sensation immensely, utterly delighted.

The next moment, his body suddenly expanded, his entire physique growing larger by another degree.

His muscles became even more defined, as if carved from rock, and black patterns appeared on his body.

But the gods paid no attention to these changes; what they focused on was Pāpīyas's rapidly surging aura.

"Roooooar!"

He clenched his fists and roared towards the sky!

"Boom—!"

A thunderclap that almost deafened everyone sounded as a terrifying bolt of lightning struck Pāpīyas from the sky, astonishing everyone.

Because the power of this lightning strike was, by all appearances, no less than Thor's divine punishment.

Was this an attack from King Solomon?

"Trash, just this much? Useless!"

Pāpīyas gave the sky the middle finger, and this action seemed to enrage the sky itself, as lightning snakes snaked across the entire firmament.

In the next instant, they converged in the center and suddenly descended.

"This, this is Heavenly Punishment!!!"

Finally, someone recognized it and exclaimed in horror.

Heavenly Punishment was different from Divine Punishment. Although some people often mistook them, and it was mainly humans who thought they were the same, there was actually a difference.

This Heavenly Punishment was the World Tree of this space sensing danger, sensing something that should not exist, and instinctively launching an attack to eliminate and expel it.

However, an even more terrifying scene unfolded.

The new bolt, which even caused the Sovereign's expression to change, split into two the moment it touched Pāpīyas.

"What, what did he do!"

"Are you kidding me?"

"He, he actually tore, tore the lightning apart."

Countless people's eyes bulged out, and they were terrified.

Pāpīyas had torn the lightning apart, tearing open the thunderclouds in the sky as well, and then they dispersed?

It seemed impossible to gather them again for a time.

"It looks like he has completely awakened and resurrected," Hades said, his expression unusually serious.

"Wh-what should we do? Lord Hades, should we stop this match?" Ares, the God of War, panicked, unsure of what to do.

This was because Lord Hades had mentioned that this [Sixth Heaven Demon King Pāpīyas] had once almost completely destroyed the Underworld, and the Underworld was no small space.

Places like Hell, the Demon Realm, and the Land of Roots were all categorized as the Underworld.

Therefore, the near-destruction of the entire Underworld here meant its entirety.

"Alright, what are you panicking about? You're acting like some incompetent deity," Hades said. Ares's face stiffened at his words, then turned bright red, a flush of shame rather than anger. He didn't dare to show anger outwardly, nor did he dare to feel it inwardly, as Ares held considerable respect and awe for Hades.

"However—" Hades didn't finish his sentence and instead began communicating with Zeus. We still need to be prepared. This thing is no longer something Beelzebub can control. Looking at Beelzebub on the arena stage, Hades sighed helplessly as he saw Beelzebub sporting a faint smile. This guy is finally going to achieve his goal.

Then, Pāpīyas, who had just defeated Heavenly Punishment, lowered his head again to look at Beelzebub. He revealed a cruel smile, and then—

Pfft—!
