The Heavenly Demon King strode through the air, his expression calm.
He looked at the ten captains lined up across the sky, and a flicker of complicated emotion crossed his eyes.
"Captain Xierjie, everyone. It's been a long time." The Heavenly Demon King rested a hand on his Thunderfire Blade and suppressed his urge to fight.
"The Heavenly Demon King?"
"No. The Three-Eyed Devil Lord. I never expected you to be leading the Heavenly Demon Squad!" A strange look flashed through Xierjie's eyes. The other captains looked just as startled.

"Yes. From the moment I became a Heavenly Demon, I belonged to Lord Diabolo. Even in death, I'll belong to him," the Heavenly Demon King said evenly.
"I hope you don't regret it!"
Boom!
Xierjie unleashed her violent aura
