Chapter 1972: Undying Bastard
-----
Pandemonium was surrounded from every angle, even as he summoned millions of demons to fight off against the Nine Heavenly Dragons within Drake's Domain, the Demonic Body Parts Drake had devoured and assimilated had now taken upon new Demon Duke forms, developing their own abilities and forms.
And to make things worse, he was unable to even speak a single word thanks to the latest little demonic body part appearing behind him, which he immediately tried to destroy, only for it to turn into darkness and disappear, appearing elsewhere.
"It can teleport through her own shadows?! Dammit! Demons, go and kill her!"
As he ordered them through mental commands, a swarm of one million demons rushed towards the little demon girl.
However, a creature stood in front of them, stopping them from even getting close to her!
"Huh?! That's…!"
It was the [Pandemonium's Green Finger of Demonic Savagery: Agares], which had the appearance of a giant insectoid chimera of a somewhat humanoid shape, with long arms and legs and green exoskeleton. With its two massive scythes, it rushed towards Pandemonium, clashing against his army in the process.
The monstrous insectoid demonic body part cut through everything with its finger-shaped arms and their massive scythes, as the demons were shredded into pieces and exploded into ashes by the thousands.
Ultimately, the thing reached Pandemonium, clashing against him directly. The Demon God grit his teeth, using his blade to parry its potent blows.
And yet, he quickly realized something perhaps even worse than he imagined!
Not only was his voice silenced but all the noise around him, making it so he was unable to hear things or even the clash of his weapon against the monster's scythes, but explosions and shockwaves could be seen, hitting his body constantly.
"D-Dammit! What's going on with these things?! Did these body parts always had these powers?!"
There was something weird about all of this as well, as Pandemonium began to realize these Demonic Body Parts not only no longer belonged to him but had evolved into completely unique beings.
And it clearly showed that Pandemonium's inexperience with fighting, despite having lived so long, Drake, once he finally began catching up to him… Seemed simply superior.
And that wasn't all.
The last of the Demonic Body Parts appeared, the [Pandemonium's Black Left Half Hand of Primal Fear: Neberius].
It took the shape of a humanoid, black feathered demon with long arms and legs with black scales and feathers, and giant bird-like talons.
Instead of a bird-like head, however, it had no head, and only a giant jaw at its torso, with several purple eyes across that body.
"OOOOOOHHHH…"
The thing started singing, its voice the only thing he could hear amidst this space of No Sound. And in that moment, pandemonium's ears exploded, as blood started coming out of them. His eyes began bleeding, and he started vomiting blood.
"An ultra-sonic attack?! It's using sound waves?! Ugh!"
Pandemonium had none of these strange abilities, these were all unique powers the Demonic Body Parts had developed on their own as they evolved thanks to Drake's power.
These sound waves were able to easily pierce through his defenses and his own flesh, exploding within his own body and inflicting constant damage inside of him.
"NNNGGHHH…!"
As he groaned and his voice couldn't be heard, he began gathering more and more power, a single black rune in his chest began to appear, as his magic circle was almost fully activated.
"This pain… This agony… My suffering… I will show the world… That you deserve all of this…! I won't go down… No, I cannot go down… I am suffering incarnated. I am damnation. I am the only and true demon!"
As his insanity consumed him, the strange rune within Pandemonium's chest continued activating, fueled by his own suffering and agony, by his own anger and frustration.
Pandemonium's demonic army continued fighting for him, becoming a massive, near endless legion of disposable pawns which protected him, giving him enough time to use this power.
"Whatever that power is, I am not going to let you use it, Pandemonium."
"UNGH?!"
Pandemonium heard Drake's voice ringing within his own mind, as he looked into the skies, the giant bubble made of millions of demons protecting him was suddenly sliced by two giant swords of light and demonic flames.
SLAAAASH!
Drake reached Pandemonium, swinging his sword against him! Pandemonium desperately retaliated firing several beams from the eyes across his body, which Drake tanked with his armor, slicing through his arms.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
"AAAGGH!"
Pandemonium's agonizing voice could only be heard within his own mind, as he quickly attacked Drake furiously, his arms hitting the dragon with almighty demonic flames, his strength rising continuously as he began sacrificing hundreds of thousands of demons to recover his body and grow stronger.
Drake retaliated with his Divinity, as the giant made of red diamonds inherited his Soul Powers, encompassing itself with frost and flames and attacking Pandemonium with several deadly blows over his entire gigantic body, leaving massive holes through his flesh.
At the same time, Drake quickly kicked his face down, sending Pandemonium into the bottom of his domain, as his massive body slammed into the clouds, only for Drake to rush down with both swords, piercing Pandemonium's back with them.
"AAAAAGGGGHHHH!"

As Pandemonium's voice broke through the Silencing Spell, a shockwave of pure demonic energy surged, as a massive fist made of infernal flames punched Drake away, shattering the domain completely.
Crack, crack…!
CRAAAASH!
Drake was sent flying away, even his super reinforced armor gained cracks, as he realized that Pandemonium still had more saved within him.
The spell Pandemonium was conjuring suddenly appeared inside of his mouth, revealing he had swallowed the pentagram to activate it inside of him.
"YOU HAVEN'T SEEN EVEN A GLIMPSE OF WHAT I CAN DO."
As he screamed in anger and frustration, Pandemonium activated the spell, as the skies turned red and black, and a massive Demon Gate appeared from within the black, thunderous clouds!
RUMBLE!
And from that massive Demon Gate, a titan emerged, several kilometers big, its gigantic, one-eyed head looming above the entire continent, as its massive arms rushed down.
"I'LL FLATTEN THE CONTINENT IF I MUST."
