Strongest Demon

"Hulk is invincible!"

Hulk roared furiously at those words. If Banner hadn't held him back, he would already have started a fight.

Hearing this, Kino looked at Yū and said, "Bring out the strongest one."

A troubled look appeared on Yū's face. "Your Majesty, I haven't finished taming the strongest one yet. He may be a little... unfriendly."

Kino immediately became interested. Yū had managed to tame all the other demons into complete submission, yet even she found this one difficult to handle. That made him even more curious.

"No matter. Bring him out and let me see him," Kino said with great interest.

A ten-meter-tall black box suddenly rose in the center of the plaza. It emanated an eerie aura, making the surrounding air seem to freeze.

The nearby demons all looked terrified and quickly moved away.

The next moment, the black box slowly opened with a deep, creaking sound.

Inside lay a sleeping, diminutive demon. He was curled up, making his features impossible to see.

The demon slowly opened his eyes. They were like burning crimson flames, filled with violence and frenzy.

He looked at Yū and said, "You dared to release me. Does that mean you've found the power to overwhelm me?" His voice was hoarse and deep, carrying an endless threat.

Yū said expressionlessly, "Basa, His Majesty wants to see you."

"His Majesty?" Basa looked at Kino with suspicion and provocation. A disdainful smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. "Your Majesty, are you strong?"

"I'm fairly strong!"

The moment Kino finished speaking, his figure vanished from the throne.

Without warning, Kino appeared in front of Yū and threw a punch.

Bang! A thunderous boom rang out. The next second, a black shadow slammed into the ground like a cannonball, sending dust billowing into the sky.

"Why? Aren't you afraid of death?"

Kino was somewhat puzzled. He could clearly sense that this demon's life and death were entirely within his control, yet the demon was still acting so arrogantly.

As the dust gradually cleared, the short body had become incredibly robust. He rose to his feet, the muscles on his body as hard as rock.

Basa said, "Death doesn't matter. As long as there's enough damage, I can defeat death too."

Kino's mouth twitched. He looked at Yū speechlessly. "Is this guy always this arrogant?"

Defeat Death, one of the Five Great Creator Gods? Even Kino wasn't confident he could do that.

Yū helplessly sighed and explained, "He's a Masochistic Demon. His ability allows him to absorb the damage inflicted on him and convert it into strength and speed."

Kino frowned. "That ability must have limitations, right?"

Yū nodded. "The limitation is the strength of his physical body. His power can indeed increase without limit, but his body can't support it.

"Even so, there isn't a single demon in Hell who can defeat him head-on.

"However, Your Majesty, I haven't finished taming him yet. If you want to command him now, you'll have to defeat him first."

When Blonsky heard about the ability, a gleam immediately flashed in his eyes as he stared intently at the demon below.

"That's right. If you want me to serve you, defeat me first!" Basa said provocatively.

"Fine. Let me see what you can—wait a moment."

Kino had also become interested and was just about to step onto the field when he suddenly sensed movement from the core in his chest. Venom was calling him.

Kino directly opened a portal and left.

Basa, who had been eager for a satisfying battle, froze. Then his expression turned furious.

"You can't find the book by searching its title? Try searching for the author instead. Maybe it was renamed!"

"What the hell do you think fighting is? Wait, my ass. I'll use the rest of you as appetizers first."

As he spoke, his gaze locked onto the other demons. He was just about to charge when a beam of red light forced him to the ground, leaving him unable to move.

This was the power of Hell.

"His Majesty told you to wait, so wait obediently," Yū said coldly as she looked at Basa on the ground.

"Damn it! You weak demon, what gives you the right to possess this kind of power?"

Basa spoke resentfully. In the past, Shapeshifter Demons like Yū had always been toys and servants to powerful demons like them. Yet now, she had actually risen above him.

He had wanted to kill her while she was caught off guard the moment he came out, but he hadn't expected her to stop him.

"The strong prey on the weak. You were strong before, so you acted recklessly and bullied the weak. But now I'm the strong one, so everything should be reversed. Isn't that the rule you established yourselves, powerful demons?"

Yū's eyes were cold and sharp. Like two streaks of icy light, they swept across the surrounding demons. At that moment, she finally looked like a demon.

The surrounding demons all lowered their heads, not daring to meet her gaze. Under that stare, they felt a deep fear.

Frank, Blonsky, and the others all looked at Yū with some surprise.

The obedient girl in front of Kino was a terrifying devil in the eyes of these demons. Wherever her gaze fell, the demons trembled and fell silent in fear.

Kino had no idea what was happening in Hell. He appeared in the living room of the manor.

Venom and Pamela were standing in the living room. Opposite them stood a smiling man with a warm expression.

Kino looked at them and asked, "Venom, what's wrong?"

"A visitor from the long-named agency has arrived," Venom said.

Coulson spoke in a friendly manner. "Hello, Mr. Kino. I'm Agent Phil Coulson, from the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division. I've come to ask you about a few things."

That signature warm smile remained on his face, and his eyes were filled with sincerity and friendliness.

His entire being radiated an irresistible affability, as though he weren't an agent carrying out a mission but an old friend paying a visit.

Looking at Coulson, Kino couldn't help sighing inwardly. As expected of the principal of Marvel's Novice Village—his social skills are perfect.

"Coulson, I'm a little busy right now. Can we talk after I've dealt with some things?" Kino asked.

"Of course. I wonder if you need our assistance. We have plenty of experience handling tedious matters," Coulson said, a probing look hidden in his eyes.

"One of my demon subordinates is being disobedient and needs to be disciplined. Would you like to come along?" Kino invited him to Hell.

Coulson's smile instantly stiffened. Fine beads of sweat seemed to appear on his forehead as his mind raced, considering the consequences of accepting the invitation. But he needed to figure out the purpose of the Demon King's arrival in the human world.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to remain calm. "All right. I'll go with you."

Although he tried to stay composed, his slightly trembling lips still betrayed the tension and unease in his heart.

"Venom, Pamela, do you want to come too?" Kino looked at the two women.

"Let's go take a look."

"Darling, I'll go too."

Kino and the others vanished one after another.

Coulson took a deep breath, adjusted the hidden camera on his chest, and made the sign of the cross.

"For world peace, protect me!"

Then he stepped into the portal.
