Within the Dimensional Space
Looking at this space of red and black, Imperial Beast 666 clenched its fists in anger and said, "Don't think trapping me like this means you can pass easily. Don't forget the guardian of the Judas Ring."
Then, Imperial Beast 666 crossed its arms over its chest and began reciting a certain lost ancient language with piety: "Great beast of the sky, please hear my cry. Transform thyself from orb of light and bring me victory in this fight. Envelop the desert with your glow and cast your rage upon my foe."
Judas Ring
Just as everyone was about to enter, an extremely dazzling light shone down from above onto their faces, forcing them to hurriedly shield their eyes.
"What is this? Sunlight!?" The light felt all too familiar to them; its warmth and brilliance were exactly like the sunlight of the Human World.
However, when they realized it, they were all shocked. Although they had grown accustomed to the environment of the underworld, there shouldn't be any sunlight in the underworld.
Everyone looked up at the sky. A golden sun was rising. The sun, which should not exist in the underworld, had appeared.
No, upon closer inspection, that wasn't the sun. It was a gigantic, entirely golden sphere with mechanical-like patterns. The light it emitted was no different from sunlight, even stronger.

Within the dimensional space, Imperial Beast 666 maintained its posture and continued chanting:
"Unlock your powers deep within so that together we may win. Appear in this Shadow Game as I call your name, Winged Dragon of Ra!"
As the final incantation was completed, the solar sphere in the sky emitted a holy solar radiance and began rapidly disassembling.
A highly mechanical torso and limbs began to emerge from the solar sphere. Within the holy solar light, the sphere's surface transformed into wings, gradually spreading out to both sides.
The dazzling golden body shimmered brilliantly under the illumination of the holy solar light.
"Let your radiance illuminate the earth! The Winged Dragon of Ra!" Imperial Beast 666 quickly separated its crossed arms and shouted forcefully upwards.
As if the Sun God himself had descended, a massive golden solar disc at the center of the wings emitted ultimate light and flames.
[The Winged Dragon of Ra] (Level 10 / Attribute: Divine / Race: Phantom God Beast / ATK:? / DEF:?)
"ROOOOAR——!!" Its head, resembling both a dragon and a bird, lifted high and let out an earth-shaking roar, causing the entire underworld to tremble.
The Winged Dragon of Ra slightly lowered its head to look at Issei Hyoudou and the others, speaking in an androgynous voice that seemed both male and female:
"I am [The Winged Dragon of Ra], guardian of the Judas Ring and the Wall of Sighs. By my master's command, I have come to subjugate you."
"Damn it!! We were so focused on how to deal with Imperial Beast 666, we forgot about the guardian here!!" Ajuka shouted in alarm, his voice filled with dismay.
"What——!!" Everyone exclaimed in surprise upon hearing Ajuka's words. They hadn't expected Ajuka to forget about the guardian obstacle.
"Divine Blaze!! Cannon!!" The Winged Dragon of Ra gathered terrifying solar flames in its mouth, then fired them at the group like a massive cannonball.
The terrifying high temperature contained within immediately caused everyone to break into a sweat, leaving them no time to counterattack.
BOOM————!!!!
A powerful explosion rang out, and billowing smoke rose. The Winged Dragon of Ra flapped its wings to disperse the smoke. To its surprise, Issei Hyoudou and the others were unharmed. Instead, a nearly transparent protective wall constructed of Power of Destruction stood before them.
"Hey, Rias, are you all okay?" At that moment, a familiar voice came. Everyone looked up to see Sirzechs slowly descending before them.
At this moment, his upper body was completely wrapped in bandages, looking like a wounded patient.
"Lord Sirzechs!!"
"Brother!!"
"Sirzechs!!"
Issei Hyoudou and the others all cried out in shock, expressing relief that Sirzechs was still alive.
"Sorry everyone, I'm late. Grayfia and the others absolutely wouldn't let me leave, so it took me some time," Sirzechs said, turning his head to look at the group behind him.
"You..." Ajuka shook his head upon hearing this, revealing a smile that said, "I really can't do anything with this guy."
Then, Ajuka and Sirzechs stood together and said, "Leave this place to the two of us!! The rest of you, hurry inside!!"
"But... Brother..." Rias, hearing this, looked at the injuries on Sirzechs and said with tears glistening in her eyes.
Feeling his sister's gaze, Sirzechs waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's fine, Rias. These injuries are nothing to fear for me."
"You and Issei-kun hurry inside to find the Wall of Sighs."
"Okay." Seeing her brother's determined expression, Rias knew arguing with Sirzechs now was useless. She could only nod tearfully and dash into the Judas Ring at full speed.
The others quickly followed, leaving Sirzechs and Ajuka to deal with The Winged Dragon of Ra.
"Don't even think about it!!" The Winged Dragon of Ra roared angrily, then fired a solar fireball at Rias.
Ajuka then used his own magic formula to enhance Sirzechs's Power of Destruction. Empowered, Sirzechs fired a highly concentrated magic bullet formed from Power of Destruction, which collided with the solar fireball and canceled it out.
"ROOOOAR——!!" Seeing this, The Winged Dragon of Ra bared its teeth and roared furiously at Sirzechs and Ajuka.
The two strongest Demon Kings stood back-to-back, a picture of perfect tacit agreement.
"Ajuka, how long has it been since we fought together?" (Sirzechs)
"I don't know, but let's deal with this golden dragon in front of us first." (Ajuka)
Their conversation ended there, and then they charged shoulder-to-shoulder towards The Winged Dragon of Ra.
Meanwhile, within the dimensional space, sensing the arrival of The Winged Dragon of Ra, Imperial Beast 666 intended to destroy the dimensional space with a Galaxian Explosion.
Unexpectedly, teleportation magic circles from various mythological systems appeared all around the dimensional space. The formulas included those from Greece, Norse, Angels, and others.
From Norse mythology came Odin, Thor, and Baldur, among others. From India came Vishnu, Brahma, and Shiva, among others. From Heaven came Raphael and Uriel, among others. From Greece came Zeus, Poseidon, and Ares, among others. From celtic mythology came Lugh, among others. From Egypt came Aten, among others. Mythological systems from East Asia also sent representatives.
Looking at the gods surrounding him in a spherical formation, Imperial Beast 666 said, "So the 'guests' Ajuka mentioned were you deities."
"Is that Imperial Beast 666?"
"Impossible! It's not in the form of a monster beast, but a human appearance!"
"It must be because it became a Specter of Hades, hence the human form."
"The light reflected by that armor is as cold and beautiful as moonlight."
The gods looked at Imperial Beast 666 and discussed amongst themselves, as if observing some rare animal.
Seeing the gods seemingly not taking him seriously, Imperial Beast 666 angrily said, "What are you here for?! A picnic?!"
Hearing Imperial Beast 666's roar, the gods remembered their purpose.
"Imperial Beast 666! Accept the judgment of the gods!" the gods shouted in unison.
Instantly, various divine power attacks surged towards Imperial Beast 666 like a tidal wave.
A cold smile curled at the corner of Imperial Beast 666's mouth. It crossed its arms and looked disdainfully at these so-called deities.
"You think you can judge me?" Imperial Beast 666 growled in a low voice. A layer of black aura enveloped its body, blocking the gods' attacks.
Seeing this, the gods were momentarily stunned. Even their combined strongest divine attacks were so easily blocked by Imperial Beast 666.
Imperial Beast 666 spoke in a low voice, "Are you finished attacking? If you're done, it's my turn."
"Final Four Horsemen!!" Imperial Beast 666 erupted with a pitch-black Cosmos imbued with an apocalyptic aura, its arms bent as it roared towards the sky.
Subsequently, four colossal figures, each nearly thirty meters tall, appeared in the four directions around Imperial Beast 666.
The first rode a red horse, wore a red robe, its appearance and body unseen. The second rode a black horse, similarly cloaking its form with a black robe. The third rode a white horse, a white robe covering its body and face. The fourth rode a green horse, a green robe concealing its figure.
These four giant figures were the most powerful entities from the Book of Revelation, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, also known as the Four Horsemen of the End. They were respectively: White Horse Rider - Pestilence, Red Horse Rider - War, Black Horse Rider - Famine, Green Horse Rider - Death.
"ROOOOAR——!!" The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse let out inhuman, non-beastly cries, instantly filling the entire dimensional space with their howls.
The gods seemed to suffer a mental attack, desperately covering their heads in agony, beginning to wail in pain.
Black spots instantly appeared on some gods' bodies. They developed high fevers, began experiencing general weakness, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting.
Some gods' eyes began emitting a fierce red light. They attacked their own companions indiscriminately, friend or foe, presenting a scene of fratricide before their eyes.
Other gods' bodies began to wither. To describe it in one word: emaciated. They began crying out from hunger, starving enough to eat anything.
A few gods, for unknown reasons, foamed at the mouth and died.
Watching the chaotic scene of disaster before him, Imperial Beast 666 revealed a proud smile. This move, Final Four Horsemen, was a technique of its own creation. Using its own Cosmos imbued with an apocalyptic aura, it summoned the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, triggering the calamities they represented. It could be said that once released, it could plunge the world into chaos and disaster.
