"Finally... the result." Lucius muttered, smirking.
The Evil Tree erupted with a terrifying surge of energy. A blinding light enveloped the sky above the Spade Kingdom's capital. From the ground, a massive black sacred tree shot upward, and an ancient bronze gate materialized out of thin air.
With a slow, dreadful creak, the gate began to open.
The chill that seeped out from the cracks froze everyone in the royal capital in place. The air was thick with despair — even those who wanted to run couldn't move a muscle.
"Oh my God, someone please save us!"
"Mom, I'm scared!"
"May God bless us all!"
People fell to their knees, praying through tears. Deep down, they knew no one was coming.
They were the outcasts — the forgotten.
"Hahaha! I've finally waited for this day!" Dante laughed maniacally, his body twitching with overflowing power.
His expression twisted into something monstrous.
After fully mastering the devil's power — 100% — he was completely addicted to the ecstasy of it.
"Finally…" Vanica's eyes lit up as she felt the full surge of her devil's power.
Yet, it was Megicula within her who was truly excited.
The backup plan had failed, but the ritual to open the Gate of Hades had succeeded.
There were hiccups along the way — but the outcome was all that mattered.
"Something's wrong…"
Lucius stared at the Gate of Hades. His brow furrowed.
Why hadn't a single lower-ranked demon come out yet?
With a thunderous boom, the bronze doors swung wide open. But still — nothing emerged. Not even one demon.
Where were the creatures that craved human "rations" even in their dreams?
Lucius grew uneasy. He could no longer sit still. He even considered stepping through the gate himself to see what was happening.
"Rise again, demons!"
Long ago, two young royals of the Spade Kingdom had been born with extraordinary magic. Once close friends, their bond had soured — hatred turning them into monsters that battled until both were sealed away.
Only those with immense magic could become demon gods.
Now, with the Gate of Hades open, Dante seized the chance to unleash them.
"You two should head to the Clover Kingdom," he ordered, grinning. "Go make some real chaos."
He didn't care why no other demons had emerged. He was too high on his own delusion — convinced the world already belonged to him.
A pair of monstrous roars split the sky as the two demon shot toward the Clover Kingdom.
"Keep channeling the mana!"
Lucius, still unsettled, sped up time itself, accelerating the ritual. He forced open the second level of the underworld.
Unlike his siblings Dante and Vanica — who were devil hosts — Lucius was a devil master.
He had completely devoured the Time Devil, Astaroth. An impossible feat... and yet, Lucius had done it.
He was, without a doubt, a terrifying genius.
"Lilith, this world is so beautiful."
The lower demons had all been consumed by Ladin, but the high-ranking demons — still slumbering — emerged intact.
And they arrived in their perfect forms.
"Nahamah... indeed," replied Lilith, her tone sweet and cold.
Lilith, the high-ranking demon of Ice Magic, had black wings, a right arm cloaked in dark matter, and a single horn above her right eye.
Nahamah, the high-ranking demon of Flame Magic, was her opposite — his left arm wrapped in darkness, a horn above his left eye, and wings blazing with fire.
"It's time to have some fun," Lilith purred.
But before they could take off, a flash of light burst through the sky — followed by countless fiery punches that slammed into Nahamah.
"Mereoleona and I will handle these two. The rest of you — go rescue Yami!" Evil Adam said.
The Clover Kingdom Expeditionary Force had arrived right on time. The counterattack was about to begin.
Meanwhile, a few stray lesser demons slipped through the cracks of the gate — survivors of Ladin's earlier rampage.
Lucius continued to force open the second level, pouring everything into his spell.
Yuno and Rill went to face Zenon.
Nacht and Jack took on Dante.
Charlotte, Dorothy, and Kaiser confronted Vanica.
The greatest war between humans and devils was about to begin — a battle where death was almost certain.
Evil Adam understood the overwhelming difference between both sides. Even the Captains, powerful as they were, might not stand a chance.
That meant he had to end this quickly — and move to support the others.
"Dragon Blasts! Electric Eyes — Intimidation!"
Evil Adam charged Lilith head-on. Despite her immense demonic power, he didn't feel an ounce of fear.
Lilith unleashed blinding beams and freezing ice attacks — but Adam matched her blow for blow.
Her stomach was pierced by one of his blasts — and though a demon's wounds typically healed instantly, this one did not.
"Who… are you?" Lilith snarled, wrapping Adam in layers of magic ice.
Crack!
With one punch, the incarnation of evil shattered the ice apart and used telekinesis to hurl her through the air.
He followed up, smashing his fist into her chest — aiming directly for her heart. The only way to kill a demon completely was to destroy it.
"Damn you!" Lilith roared, her icy magic shattering.
Meanwhile, Nahamah's fight wasn't going any smoother.
At first, he had the upper hand against Mereoleona — but she didn't fight fair.
She was a beast.
Willing to trade blow for blow, she turned herself into a living inferno, hammering him relentlessly.
Nahamah tried to engulf her with his own flames — to "devour" the fiery lioness in one go.
"Ultra Dragon Blast! Super Strength!"
Adam charged up an immense wave of power, his energy burning bright. The explosion froze both combatants in a massive sphere of ice and flame — but Adam didn't hesitate.
He punched through, his fist colliding with her heart once more.
"Don't even think about it!" Lilith screamed in agony.
He'd nearly destroyed her core.
Nahamah staggered as well, desperately dodging Mereoleona's flaming blows.
This insane duo — Adam and Mereoleona — were overwhelming the demon siblings, pressing for a swift victory to aid their comrades.
Then, something shocking happened.
Lilith — badly wounded — was devoured by Nahamah. Her body dissolved into streams of energy, becoming fuel for his power.
"You actually consumed your own sister? Are you trying to turn from evil to good?" Evil Adam spat. "Not that I'd accept you either way."
Adam and Mereoleona launched into another wave of furious attacks, refusing to give the demon a chance to recover.
"Hahaha! The demon world is ruled by the strong!" Nahamah sneered. "My dear sister should feel honored to become my nourishment!"
A blazing barrier of ice and fire flared up before them, blocking their every strike.
Nahamah's body transformed. Two horns now crowned his head, his wings expanded, his arms thickened with black matter, and his tail grew longer and sharper.
"Round two begins — Ice and Fire." Nahamah said with grin.
Having devoured Lilith, Nahamah had evolved into a completely new form.
Horns were the ultimate symbol of demonic power — and the devil Lucifer himself had four.
Nahamah's dual-horned form was now dangerously close to the level of the Three Great Rulers.
The clash of scorching flames and freezing ice fused into a hellish realm around them, trapping Adam and Mereoleona inside a sealed battlefield.
Nahamah smirked.
He wouldn't confront Adam head-on anymore.
This time, he'd kill them both — together.
