Buzz!

The crimson ray pierced through the Yamata no Orochi's [Thunder Head] in an instant, and the huge snake head exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

But then, [Main Head]'s ability activated, and the flesh and blood of the Thunder Head, which had been reduced to a bloody mist, regenerated, and in the blink of an eye, it was back to normal.

Almost simultaneously, [Devouring Head] suddenly stretched out its fangs and lunged at the Demon King of Songs below the high ground.

"It seems you don't need to intervene; Kuranos alone is sufficient to handle this."

Amidst the smoke and dust, Dimon fanned away the acrid smell around him, his eyes fixed firmly on the Demon King of Songs.

Sigma swung his dragon tail, carrying Dimon to a higher vantage point, where he had a clear view of the battlefield.

"Master, this guy's ability is a bit strange. It seems to be a pure energy attack, and it's also somewhat similar to the [Calamity Head] of Kuranos."

The [Calamity Head]'s ability is to curse, uttering cursed whispers to corrupt the minds of others and bring disaster upon their target.

Dimon stroked his chin and nodded, saying, "It does resemble it somewhat, but it's too weak. Perhaps the degree of unsealing isn't high enough."

In the first phase, or rather the first movement of the Demon King of Songs, his combat performance was mediocre, Kuranos alone was enough to easily suppress him.

However, the third stage was too outrageous, and Dimon didn't want to cause trouble for himself. He wanted to at least control the Demon King of Songs before it entered the third movement.

He glanced back at the castle; the ceiling of the concert hall was riddled with holes. From his perspective, he could see Uta sitting alone at the piano, playing and singing, and in an abnormal state. She was clearly being controlled and forced to continue.

At this moment.

[Devouring Head] has already bitten the left arm of the Demon King of Songs, activating its ability to devour elements.

However, the next moment...

"Hey..."

The Demon King of Songs seemed to be mocking Kuranos, as it willingly sacrificed an arm, broke free from the great flood, and floated back into the sky.

Kuranos's [Main Head] paused slightly.

"It didn't work?"

When Marine Admiral Akainu is bitten by His Devouring Head, the power of the Magma-Magma Fruit is suppressed, but the Demon King of Songs is almost unaffected.

"Its body is not composed of elemental power; to be precise, it should be described as the power of 'chantments'."

It manifests its form through song, and this special body is completely unaffected by the Devouring Head. To control the Demon King of Songs, one must first interrupt the "Demon King Summoning Song".

Dimon immediately understood what Kuranos had thought of.

In a flash, he leaped down from the dragon's head and arrived at the music hall.

Uta saw that there was another person beside her, but she couldn't move. Her fingers continued to play uncontrollably, and her mouth continued to sing.

Dimon read a thought from her expression.

Help me...

Seeing this, Dimon smiled slightly and reached out to press his hand on Uta's head.

"Relax, it'll be over soon."

Having said that, the domineering Haki of Conqueror's Haki emanated from his palm, instantly covering Uta's entire body.

The powerful Haki suppressed the control of the Demon King of Songs, and the eerie red light enveloping Uta quickly dimmed.

Three seconds later.

Uta abruptly removed her hands from the piano keys, breathing heavily with tension.

"That scared me to death! I thought it was going to be..."

She recalled that when she was nine years old, a sheet of music suddenly appeared in front of her, and she instinctively began to sing. As soon as the first line of lyrics came out, she lost control of herself and became the puppet of the Demon King of Songs, the key to unlocking his seal.

That incident led to Elegia's tragedy.

At that time, the Demon King of Songs had only entered the second movement and was ultimately defeated by the Red Hair Pirates.

"Who are you..."

Uta, still bewildered, looked at Dimon, "Master?"

"Huh? How did you know...?"

Dimon was surprised; this time he wasn't wearing a cloak or mask, and his true face was revealed.

Uta blinked, her eyes filled with surprise, and looked around.

"Lord of Demons, Ruler of the Abyss, Divine Creator, God of Gods, Light of Light, Beginning of All Life, End of All Things..."

She was reciting a rhyme, her Big Eyes full of laughter:

"What? Just an ordinary human being."

"I'm amazed you can remember such a long passage..." Dimon thought to himself. "Is this how the Seven Deadly Sins brats usually introduce themselves to outsiders?"

"Just an empty shell."

Having interrupted the "Demon King Summoning Song," Dimon turned and walked out of the castle.

Seeing this, Uta immediately followed like a shadow, sidling up to Dimon and asking with great interest:

"Sir, what's your name? I'm Uta, hello there."

She's such a lively girl; she just had a brush with death, but she recovered in the blink of an eye.

Dimon shook his head. "You can call me 'master,' like those demons do, or you can call me 'master.'"

"No! I don't want to call you master, it sounds like I've become a slave." Uta resolutely refused, complaining:

"You just saved me, so I'll call you my benefactor. But it was you guys who insisted on finding the sheet music, which is why I sang that song... Well, we're even now~"

After nine years, Uta finally met a second human in a real sense, and they seemed to have endless things to talk about.

She chattered around Dimon like a sparrow, driving Dimon crazy.

Leaving the castle and arriving at the edge of the high cliff, Dimon first looked up but couldn't see the Demon King of Songs. Then he looked towards the city.

Within the city, the Yamata no Orochi tightly bound the Demon King of Songs.

Sigma descended from the height and came to his side, saying:

"Master, the moment the song stopped, the power of this wild demon suddenly faded, and it was defeated by Kuranos."

Dimon nodded slightly.

Just how powerful were the ancient Devil Fruit User? Not only did they seal away a demon, but that seal is still in effect to this day.

While pondering, he spoke:

"Ain."

"Yes, Master."

At the same time.

Amidst the city's ruins, the Demon King of Songs is bound by Bone Head, tied up like a dumpling, unable to move.

Just as Kuranos was about to make a few sarcastic remarks, a voice suddenly rang out.

"The Demon King of Songs, Tot Musica."

It was his master's voice, Kuranos immediately shut up.

The Demon King of Songs no longer struggles.

Dimon continued:

Were there many demons like you in ancient times?

"..."

Who is the Devil Fruit User?

"..."

What is your relationship with the Sing-Sing Fruit?

The Demon King of Songs remained silent throughout the three questions, a hint of mockery creeping across his torn lips.

"Hey..."

After a low laugh, the Demon King of Songs' body began to disintegrate.

It transformed into a ball of black energy, breaking free from Kuranos's restraints. Then, this black energy scattered into musical notes, eventually flying back into the yellowed musical score.

As the musical notes floated overhead and drifted toward the sheet music in the castle, Dimon was speechless.

This guy is very arrogant; he has no desire to communicate and would rather return to the seal.

"Master, how about we summon it one more time, and I'll give it a good beating?" Sigma suggested.

Uta, her face full of curiosity, turned her head and saw the sheet music float over and fall into her hands.

After a moment's thought, Dimon decided to abandon his plan to summon again.

The Demon King of Songs is arrogant and haughty; we need to find a way to subdue him. Summoning him again before finding a truly effective method is pointless.

"No, we'll talk about that later. More important than this..."

Dimon's gaze swept across the island before him. It was a beautiful and secluded place, making it a suitable secret base.

He remembered that he still had a branch of Adam, which he might try to plant here.

The Seven Deadly Sins have always used the Wave-Breaking Warrior as their base, which is mostly floating in the sky. While it is well-hidden, it is not suitable as a base.

Thinking of this, Dimon immediately gave the order:

"Ain, notify Ship Zuizui and have him bring everyone here immediately."

"Yes, Master."

A gentle breeze swept by.

Uta looked around curiously. "I was just about to ask you, benefactor, who is this Ain you mentioned, and where is he?"

"Ain is everywhere."

Dimon turned to look at her, chuckling softly, and said, "Uta, your abilities are outstanding, the kind of power the Seven Deadly Sins need. I invite you to join..."

Before he could finish speaking, Uta nodded eagerly.

"Great! I'll join! I'm willing to join!"

No, do you even know what the Seven Deadly Sins are for? You just casually join them!

Dimon remained silent for a long time.

Uta asked excitedly, "My benefactor, what are the Seven Deadly Sins for?"

Asking now...

Dimon always felt that this girl had the clarity of a college student, but considering that she had lived alone on this island since she was 9 years old, isolated from the world, it wasn't surprising.

We will create New World!

Chapter 214 The Animation Musical Score

Uta didn't really care what the Seven Deadly Sins did; she simply found the organization interesting.

Creating New World sounded amazing, and she began to seriously want to learn more about it.

Before she could press for more information, Dimon interrupted her.

"I will give each new member a special mark. This mark allows you to summon other members at any time, and also allows you to be summoned by other members."

Give me your hand.

Uta, bewildered, did as instructed and extended her right hand.

Dimon pulled her hand out of her sleeve. Uta's hand was a little cold. Then, a golden light etched a golden mark on the back of her hand.

"Alright, if you encounter danger, you can try activating it to summon organization members to help you."

"For more details, you can ask Ain."

Dimon didn't bother to explain. He took the sheet music from Uta and then turned to walk towards the back of the castle.

Uta curiously observed the mark on the back of her hand, gently rubbing it with her fingers, and discovered that the mark seemed to have grown into her flesh.
