Draco hummed Roma's famous Cauldron of Evil song while stirring the brew, and one could hear the horrific and eldritch screams of the 500 Demon Kings who were forced in there.
They clearly were not having a good time having their very body, soul and spirit melted down into essence to turn into useful items through the power of the Mystic Arts.
The players watching this were greatly spooked. Their hatred and anger towards Draco disappeared when they saw this cruel treatment and heard these screams that could traumatize even the hardest serial killer.
The faces of the Demon Gods and the Demon Supreme who backed away changed greatly. They were filled with fury and directly attacked to interrupt the spell.
"Impudent human, die!"
A Demon God roared and spat out a ball of fire that had a mixture of yellow and red converged, which was pure Hellfire. It contained the Law of Endless Burning, which was the Law most of the Demon Gods subscribed to.
After all, they were born in this Realm which only had Hell Energy, so they could only choose Laws and Aspects related to Hell Energy or the like.
This Demon God's attack hurtled towards Draco, but Shuangtian rushed forward to punch it. Unable to use her bloodline, she had to rely on her crazy stats and powerful items to resist.
Shuangtian had a confident smile on her face. Since she had been freed, she had never lost nor been suppressed, and her power was enough to even punch planets apart in reality.
However, the moment her fist connected with the ball of magma, Shuangtian's face changed as her right arm was blown back and her body was sent flying.
Meanwhile, the attack had only slowed down for a second. Eva's expression changed as she tried to stop Time, only to realize that she could not use her bloodline.
She fired a thick beam of light using her ability to manipulate light through the Sun Star which was also boosted by 10,000%. The beam struck the ball of flaming magma but only diverted it slightly.
Eva could only helplessly watch as it struck Draco's cauldron instead of his body, exploding it and sending her Soulmate flying. Eva easily moved and caught the flying Draco in a flash.
She might have over 400,000 points of speed which should make her fast enough to move beyond Time and Space, but as the AI had admitted, its resources were only able to display up to a 1000 points for anyone. Anything beyond made made no difference, whether you had 1,001 or 1,000,000 points.
Draco was stunned. He had fully divulged himself to his skill, believing that nothing could stop his two beauties, so he was not ready when his skill got interrupted and he lost over 25% HP in the backlash.
Shuangtian climbed out of the pit she created and grimaced as she glanced at her right hand in disbelief. The Divine Gauntlets were obviously unharmed, but her arm was bleeding profusely and many parts of her perfect skin had been burnt.
Normally her freakish regeneration would kick in assuming one could even bypass her freakish defense, but both of those were temporarily unavailable. Her regen from her equipment was also suppressed by the infused Law of the attack and was kicking in slowly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe was even lucky because if this been a Legendary Equipment, or below, not only would it have lost durability, but it would not work on a Divine level attack. Only Divine could harm/offset Divine and same for Origin.
Divine Equipment and Classes were godly when used to bully mortals on the Main Plane, but they were the basic requirement for True Gods.
Seeing how easily the Evil Trio were dealt with, the Demon Gods' worry as well as their fear disappeared and was replaced by endless disdain. They folded their arms behind their back and even floated higher, no longer interested.
The Demon Supreme looked back and then smiled calmly. He then stepped forward and collected the Demon Kings who looked severely injured and were in bad shape.
"You guys go back, you cannot handle these three without Divine Energy." He spoke calmly while sending them towards the Demon Gods.
The Demon Supreme then glanced at the Evil Trio who were regrouping with calm expressions. His eyes flashed with majesty as he folded his arms behind his back.
In truth, the fellow starkly resembled Asmodeus in Draco's bloodline, which was usually the depiction of Lucifer. Pretty boy level handsome while being tall and muscular, with two curved horns on his head.
His cornea were pitch black while his eyes were blood red, and his brownish-red hair fell to his waist. His upper body was bare and he wore a wrapped cloth around his waist that reached his knees.
His skin was light red, and quite supple for a man. He did not have the pockmarks that lesser demons had and did not look beastly. The Demon Gods through, were more like lower Demons in that they had a variety of shapes, sizes and looks.
So, it was confusing, did it mean that looking like a human meant one's bloodline/power was better or not?
The answer to this was that the Demon Supreme and his bloodline was different. Just like how Devils had Mephisto's Royal Family, Demons also had Devil True Gods not directly affiliated with them.
These Demon Gods were from Demons who had climbed from Rank 1 to Rank 7 then ascended through pillaging the Main Plane and receiving the blessing of the Will of the Demon Realm to comprehend a Law.
However, this Demon Supreme was obviously different as he was the real deal in terms of the pinnacle of the Demon Race's bloodline. Not to mention that he was a Titled God with the ability to use Divine Energy, which was why he could even stand with the True Gods.
「Name: Satan – Rank 7 Demon God
Level: 399
HP: 900,000,000,000,000/900,000,000,000,000」
Of course, the system called those at Rank 7 'Gods', but the Rank 7 Demons called themselves Kings, because there were actual Gods among them. They did not dare to follow the AI's naming system in private.
"Humans, I will give you a chance. Reveal how you came here, what happened to Demon King Surtur and make compensation for the part of the Demon Realm you've destroyed and I shall plead on your behalf to the Gods for leniency in your torture." Satan demanded neutrally, not even looking at the Evil Trio directly.
Putting aside those on the stream, the Evil Trio were also speechless.
It was one thing for Demon Gods to beat them up. After all, they had Law and Energy Suppression over them and the Evil Trio had methods to survive against True Gods but not win.
But you, a mere Demon Supreme who can only use a bit of Divine Energy without access to Laws, dares to speak this way?
The Evil Trio shared a look bad burst into loud laughter, almost falling over themselves.
"Hahahaha, what a retard!" Draco roared pout between loud bellows.
"THIS is the Supreme of the Demon Race? How trash!" Eva wiped her eyes while shaking her head in amusement.
"It's probably because he wears that rag around his waist. Too much air enters his ass and floats up to his brain." Shuangtian mocked mercilessly.
[Ancentek: Whew, hearing Jade Empress use that beautiful voice to diss someone has me feeling all types of ways.]
[Leon's Fan Girl: Not gonna lie, I'm BRICKED up right now.]
[Wunderbar Barwunder: Me! Please roast me Jade Empress!]
The players were also amused. True Gods were one thing, but the Evil Trio had smashed to death hundreds of Rank 7s and even almost cooked the Demon Kings to death in one move.
What made this fellow think he was different?
Satan's face became black with anger. The Demon Gods behind him displayed expressions of amusement, none of them coming to his defense. As you could imagine, the bloodline disparity meant that when they were weak, they had been suppressed by the Royal Family.
Now that they were Demon Gods, if it wasn't for the fact that the royal bloodline was crucial for their future development, they would have long smashed them all to death.
Seeing him humiliated made them feel refreshed deep down and they decided to torture the Evil Trio less after they were defeated then captured.
"How dare you!" Satan roared and then rushed forward, his body glowing with the reddish demonic energy as he punched out.
Shuangtian snorted and rushed forward, her body not glowing with any energy but her own raw power as she met Satan's punch. Immediately, Satan's face changed greatly as he felt unstoppable force coming at him and he knew he would be severely injured if not outright killed.
As such, he quickly activated his Divine Source Origin and infused his fist with Divine Energy. Immediately, the Energy Suppression came into effect and Shuangtian's overwhelming power was mitigated.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn fact, Satan got the upper hand and knocked her back, making the jade beauty crash into the ground again. This time though, she was barely bothered and leaped out without a scratch.
Satan's expression became ugly when he saw this and knew that things would be tough. Meanwhile, Draco and Eva by the side seemed to realize something and their expressions became full of disdain.
"Ha, so that's it. Your State of Being reached the Divine level, so you gained a Divine Source Origin. You can freely imbue endless Divine Energy into attacks. No wonder the Main Plane cannot win and that the War Maniac Pavilion and the Church of Light are still fighting to defend." Draco revealed with a grin.
"Having a genuine Divine Source Origin makes you stronger than all the Titled Gods, which is why they can only band together to resist. It means that you're basically a Semi-True God." Eva added with a frown.
Satan was shocked. "How do you puny ants know of all this?"
The players spectating were also confused. Some had come into contact with this knowledge and information, but many others were new and only knew some entry level stuff.
"How we know has nothing to do with you. Now that we know where your confidence to fight us stems from, it's laughable you think you can win. Shuangtian and I may not have Divine Source Origins, but we have other means to counter it." Draco stated with a sneer.
He then glanced towards Eva with a cruel smile. "Tough luck for you, in Eva's case things are different."
Eva's eyes flashed with arrogance and opulence, her majestic aura gushing out. She began to float in the air as a giant circular symbol manifested behind where with 6 glowing magatama around them.
When Satan felt the aura from Eva, his face changed, and fear manifested on his features. Even the casual Demon Gods were no longer confident and became restless, a hint of worry and anxiety appearing on their faces.
All of this was because of Eva's item that she usually kept suppressed, the Celestial Symbol!
