[Plot Sign-In: Eliminate the descendants who claim to be the True Demon Kings yet never inherited the power of the True Demons!]
[Targets: Shalba Beelzebub, Katerea Leviathan, and Creuserey Asmodeus]
[Sign-in time limit: 1 day]
[Remaining time for sign-in: 1 day]
Defeating them wasn't particularly difficult.
The real challenge was the specificity, each one had to be eliminated individually.
If even one target remained unfinished, all previous efforts would be wasted.
Takeyo surveyed the three so-called descendants of the True Demon Kings and nodded with satisfaction.
Compared to other Diamond-level sign-ins, aside from Ophis, this one was refreshingly simple and direct.
Simple and direct was good.
"Hmm?"
While Takeyo considered how to deal with the three of them, bursts of red mist spread through the surroundings.
Everyone noticed the phenomenon, but by the time they realized what was happening, it was already too late.
"Thud!"
"Thud! Thud..."
One after another, bodies hit the ground!
Sona, Tsubaki, Akeno, Kiba, Irina, all collapsed unconscious!
"This is a special poison created specifically for the Three Factions. It seems the Red Side's Annihilation Princess's strength is well-deserved. Can you withstand the erosion of the toxin?" Katerea showed a presumptuous smile.
This secret poison could render Devils, Fallen Angels, and Angels below the Satan-class incapacitated!
Even a High-Class Devil like Rias would lose a significant portion of her combat power!
With all the minor players eliminated, Katerea could finally face these Demon Kings directly and reclaim the glory of the True Demon Kings!
Yes, they wanted a direct confrontation!
Only by defeating these so-called reformed Demon Kings head-on could they restore the glory of the True Demons!
"In other words, all the guards you brought have become burdens? That's rather inconvenient," Takeyo said with a smile.
Honestly, he also felt the weaker combatants were rather useless.
"Yes! Now, our allies are descending from the sky, and these people are our hostages," Katerea declared.
"Really? Descending from the sky?" Takeyo shook his head.
Who did they think they were?
"Rumble!"
Takeyo extended his hand toward the front, and countless magic circles instantly formed in the world outside!
Based on his calculations and mana reserves, those who were mostly Mid-Class Devil level members, with a small number of High-Class Devil level members of the misfortune group, did they think they could break his barrier?
Did they think they could pull a Vali and activate Juggernaut Drive to shatter the barrier with brute force? Such foolish behavior.
"What's happening? They've encountered obstacles?" Shalba listened to the messages through his magic circle and looked toward the outside world.
A massive magical array flashed across the ground, covering everyone on the surface!
No, to be precise, it wasn't a single giant magic circle but a colossal magical barrier integrating countless spells!
The magicians and demons of the Old Satan Faction who had just arrived, intending to collect their prizes, were all trapped outside the barrier. Even using all their power, they couldn't break through the magical formation.
At that moment, a golden magic circle flashed in the sky!
An existence that looked different from the other magicians arrived!
Holding a purple cross in her hand, Takeyo narrowed his eyes.
That cross looked familiar, didn't it?
The Holy Cross, one of the Holy Relics!
Hanging on the woman's chest was a palm-sized purple cross.
Legend had it that the Holy Cross artifact hosted someone's will and had the characteristic of constantly changing its owner.
This someone's will naturally referred to the will of the God of the Bible!
"This person is the user of Incinerate Anthem, the God-Extinguishing Tool, the Purple Flame Sacrificial Priestess," Takeyo said, squinting his eyes as he addressed everyone.
He felt this person was very familiar, yet couldn't quite place her.
It turned out she only appeared later in the story.
One of the deviant magicians of the Khaos Brigade, the descendant of Augustus, the Witch of the East of Oz, who had retrieved the Holy Cross from a previous master defeated by Vali.
"A bunch of trash! I still have to do it myself!"
She gently stroked the cross in her hand.
Suddenly, from the cross came a wave of power that shook the world!
[Balance Breaker!]
[Incinerate Antiphona Calvario, The Inevitable Punishment issued by the Final Judge!]
Snakes!
Eight snake heads made of flame emerged from the cross!
"This snake...is it the legendary Yamata no Orochi?" Michael asked. Seeing the Holy Relic of God, he felt a surge of emotion.
"Yes," Takeyo nodded.
"The God-Extinguishing Tool Incinerate Anthem has the ability to capture powerful souls and nail them to the cross, allowing them to exert even more powerful strength."
"The one nailed to it right now is the soul of Yamata no Orochi."
Takeyo rubbed his nose helplessly.
Why did users of God-Extinguishing Tools like to use ultimate attacks against defensive magic circles he'd casually arranged?
Was this some kind of pride thing?
"It shouldn't take too long before this barrier breaks. Everyone should go rescue your own members first. This magic circle won't last long."
After all, it was a magic circle Takeyo had created with a wave of his hand. Being able to withstand several attacks from a Balance Breaker-level God-Extinguishing Tool was already impressive enough.
"Understood!"
Seeing the massive flaming Yamata no Orochi constantly impacting the magic circle below, everyone couldn't help but rush forward.
"Wait! Now is the time to settle things!"
The three descendants of the so-called True Demon Kings stood blocking everyone's path.
"Serafall! You, the false Devil who robbed the position of the True Demon King, I challenge you for the position of Demon King!"
Katerea, full of confidence, directly challenged Serafall.
She was Katerea Leviathan, a person who inherited the blood of the True Demon King! She would reclaim the honor of her ancestors!
"Sorry, but I can't let you challenge Serafall," Takeyo said, standing in front of Serafall.
In her current state, Serafall really wasn't necessarily Katerea's opponent.
This was because Takeyo had sealed all of Serafall's power a few days ago, and she had only recently recovered to normal levels.
And Katerea, although only possessing the strength of a High-Class Devil, likely had Ophis's [Snake] on her. After consuming it, she would erupt with combat power at the Satan-class peak, and Serafall might actually lose!
"Yang-chan?" Serafall looked at Takeyo standing in front of her.
Was this the Takeyo she knew?
Wasn't the Takeyo she knew a big pervert who liked to bully girls? The kind who would make her play those games that forced her to follow her heart?
"Who are you?! Does a human have any right to manage affairs between Demon Kings?!" Katerea said disdainfully.
It seemed the Old Satan Faction's intelligence network was rather lacking.
"Why, this really does concern me. After all, Serafall's strength hasn't recovered yet, because I defeated her just a few days ago."
"If you fight her in her current weakened state, even if you succeed, you won't be recognized by the people in the Underworld, right?"
Takeyo smiled, then coughed tactically.
Tactical coughing...
"Serafall? Is what this man says true?" Katerea asked incredulously.
"Well...it's...it's true..." Serafall's words stuttered slightly. Admitting this in front of everyone was somewhat uncomfortable.
But...it seemed that the White Dragon Emperor Vali had also been killed instantly when using Juggernaut Drive?
Thinking of this, Serafall felt much better.
"So, how about letting me be your opponent? If you can beat me, everyone will have no doubts about the fact that you can beat Serafall."
Takeyo said with a smile.
"I remember!"
Suddenly, Shalba pointed his finger at Takeyo.
"You're the human who beat up the Phoenix family's young master? I heard you're still Ajuka's disciple?"
There was a dangerous light in Shalba's eyes.
His name was Shalba Beelzebub, and he was a Devil who inherited the name of the True Demon King! As for Ajuka, he had changed his original surname Astaroth to Beelzebub!
In other words, Takeyo was the disciple of his enemy!
"Ah, that's right. Why, do you want to join in too? I have no objection," Takeyo said with a smile.
It would be better if all three came together.
A few minutes later.
Takeyo looked at Tobio Ikuse and Dulio next to him and sighed.
"I told you, you really didn't need to follow me."
He had the situation under control, building up animosity appropriately, and was ready to take on all three. But then Azazel and Michael, still worried, sent their two right-hand men to his side while the main group rushed to defend Takeyo's magic circle.
Although it hadn't been breached yet, it was only a matter of time. They couldn't let these mid-level combatants die here. The loss of these mid-level fighters could cause serious damage to the Three Factions' overall strength.
"It's better to be more careful. After all, the other side used that thing," Tobio Ikuse said solemnly.
Just now, in front of them, all three Old Satan descendants had used Ophis's Snake!
Among them, Katerea and Creuserey, who originally possessed High-Class Devil fighting power, gained the power of the Satan-class peak.
Shalba was even more impressive, jumping directly from his original Mid-Class Devil level to half-step Transcendent!
In the original story, Katerea was killed by Azazel using a forbidden technique.
Creuserey was defeated by Sirzechs, who used the Power of Destruction to destroy the [Snake] in his body.
Shalba was killed by Issei in the later stages using Juggernaut Drive. When Issei first used Juggernaut Drive, Shalba managed to escape.
It could be said that although the three were weak in their own right, they were no easy opponents after using Ophis's [Snake].
With this level of strength, even if Takeyo had indeed defeated Satan Serafall, they didn't think Takeyo could handle it alone.
Therefore, sending support was normal.
"Mr. Takeyo, we want to ensure everyone's safety. Amen," Dulio said slowly.
"Well, just watch me perform then, alright?"
Takeyo smiled slightly.
If he wanted support, he would have called Artoria over long ago. Did he still need them?
"Hey! What are you talking about there?" Katerea looked upset at Takeyo, who seemed to think he could handle all three of them by himself.
What she wanted now was to quickly defeat Takeyo, then rush to the leaders of the Three Factions to take care of Serafall! Restore the glory of the True Demons!
"Quick battle!" In Shalba's hands, a magic circle took shape in an instant!
Strike first!
"Yeah, yeah. Since you're so eager to die, I have no objection," Takeyo said.
He glanced in Shalba's direction, and a black light flashed in his eyes!
Then, Shalba's hand froze in place.
God-Extinguishing Tool, Aeon Balor, the Evil Eye King that Dominates Time and Space!
"Since you're so anxious to reincarnate, I'll reluctantly give you a ride."
Takeyo smiled slightly, and a platinum gem appeared from his chest!
[Artifact: Sacred Heart of the World Dragon, Liberation!]
Immense magical power circulated through Takeyo's body non-stop!
Layers of brilliant light covered him! The dragon's aura exploded with full force!
After the brilliance dispersed, a divine dragon covered in azure armor and platinum gems appeared!
[Sacred Heart of the World Dragon, Balance Breaker!]
[Kurma Dragon Balance Breaker!]
Of course, it wasn't over yet!
[My power, Liberation!]
[It is the origin of the world that bears everything...the Dragon among Dragons...]
[Guide me with your brilliant radiance and galactic power!]
[Descend!]
[Kurma Incarnation Over Limit!]
[Kurma Incarnation: Over Limit (Juggernaut Drive)!]
"So...who wants to go first?"
Takeyo raised a finger provocatively.
