So Roxanne, without waiting any longer, activated a power she had kept sealed deep inside her for many years.
A chilling shift rippled through the atmosphere as the constraints on her soul began to shatter. The air grew heavy and suffocatingly cold, and a terrifying aura started to bleed into the room. It was a power so ancient, overwhelming, and tyrannical that it forced almost every devil present to their knees in sheer terror.
This suffocating pressure was something every devil instinctively understood. Even if their minds couldn't comprehend it, the ancient memory etched deep within their very bloodlines certainly did. For this was not just raw strength—this was the sovereign pressure that could only come from the true throne of the Underworld.
With the release of her aura, Roxanne once again went through a brief transformation. Her long black hair turned a striking silvery white, and two sharp devil horns came out of her head. When she opened her eyes, they had turned into a glowing golden color.
Then, twelve massive wings burst out of her back. They looked just like the wings of a fallen angel, covered in dark feathers, but the edges were sharp and webbed like devil wings. Standing there with her new look and her terrifying pressure, she looked like a completely different person.
Seeing Roxanne's transformation, the devils who were initially surprised at the sudden situation had their faces change drastically.
Especially those old devils who had lived through the old era—they all saw a very familiar shadow inside Roxanne. That person was the creator of the devil race, the leader who was once worshiped by all devils, and the only person to whom all the 72 pillars wholeheartedly offered their loyalty.
That was none other than Lucifer Morningstar, the angel who fell and became the lord of devils. The only person who can be considered equal to God.
Just as the situation was spiraling completely out of control, seven shadows suddenly descended from the sky.
Even though all of them were carefully concealing their aura, a dark, heavy demonic energy still seeped out from them, clearly signifying their high status as devils. Thick, pitch-black smoke rolled off their bodies, making them look like seven living black holes radiating a cosmic horror. Just by gazing at them, anyone could feel a deep, maddening sense of dread and negative emotions.
But what truly shocked everyone was the sheer pressure they put out. It was so immense that it was absolutely no weaker than Sirzechs or Ajuka. That reality made everyone instantly realize the truth: these seven people were definitely not normal devils but Super Devil-class beings.
Then, right before everyone's eyes, these seven Super Devil-class beings all knelt down deeply towards Roxanne. With faces full of pure fanaticism and ultimate loyalty, they shouted simultaneously, "We, the seven sins of Abyss, welcome our true Queen! May your reign last forever!"
"T-The... The Seven Sins... i-impossible... t-they are just a myth!" one of the older, knowledgeable devils stuttered heavily, his whole body shaking in complete shock.
The old devil's words echoed through the completely silent room. This made those who once read those ancient documents finally realize who these seven figures were. But even then they still refused to believe reality.
In the ancient history of the Underworld, it was said that before the creation of the devil race, this place was a wild and lawless land. It was ruled by seven primal forces that had no physical forms. They weren't actual living beings, but rather the raw manifestation of the Underworld's primal authorities. They were the concepts of the sins themselves.
When Lucifer Morningstar fell from Heaven. Using his own overwhelming strength, he single-handedly defeated and subjugated all seven of these ancient authorities, forcing them to submit to his will.
When creating the devil race, Lucifer used these seven authorities as the foundation. He crafted every single devil by borrowing pieces of this core power. Because of this, every devil in existence shares an incredibly deep, fundamental connection to the sins. It is carved directly into their souls and bloodlines, acting as the very source of their demonic nature.
So for the devil race, these seven deadly sins are like gods, and now these gods are kneeling before this girl whom they first looked down on because of thinking of her as a human. For those arrogant devils, how could they believe such a reality? After all, then, wouldn't they all be guilty of death for going against her?
Roxanne looked down at the kneeling Super Devils, then turned her golden eyes toward the rest of the room. Instead of looking angry, a small, amused smile played on her lips. She looked like a cat watching a mouse that had nowhere left to run.
"A myth?" Roxanne giggled softly, the sound sending chills down everyone's spines. "Oh, no, these guys are really no myth. The Seven Sins are very real, and they just came to celebrate my big day."
She took a few steps forward, her twelve wings moving slightly, making the heavy pressure in the room even worse.
"Since everyone who is needed is already here, let's make this official," she said, her voice full of dark humor. "Today, the old era ends. I am declaring in my name as Roxanne Morningstar, the daughter of Lucifer Morningstar; I shall reign over the underworld as per my right. Don't worry, I promise to be a very responsible Queen."
The crowd of devils went completely pale. Many wanted to argue, but the suffocating pressure kept them firmly glued to the floor. Watching her enjoy their absolute terror just made their despair even deeper. Their mentalities were on the verge of going insane.
Roxanne's amused gaze finally landed on Sirzechs and Ajuka. As devils who managed to become Super Devils on their own , these two can actually protest against her.
'But would they really dare? ' thinking so Roxanne's smile became more playful.
Even as Super Devils, the two Satans were sweating under her playful but terrifying glare. As the leaders of the Underworld, they had to think about the bigger picture.
Sirzechs looked at Ajuka, and they both understood the terrifying truth. Roxanne didn't just have the Seven Sins, who are already Super Devil class beings. There is also Luciana, who is also a super devil-class being.
And against 8 super devil-class beings, both Sirzechs and Ajuka knew that they had no choice in this matter. After all, if they chose to fight Roxanne here, they would be starting a massacre. As super-devil class beings themselves, they knew how much chaos a being at that level can cause. It is safe to say that the underworld would be completely wiped out if two of these class beings fought seriously. So from the beginning there was actually only one choice for them.
Slowly, while the entire room watched in shock, Sirzechs and Ajuka lowered their bodies. Pushing aside their pride, the two strongest Satans went down on one knee and spoke, "We welcome the return of Lady Roxanne. "
