What!? Never seen a Demon King of Lust before?

"Well, either way, it doesn't matter. As long as I get what I want in the end, I couldn't care less about anything, or anyone, along the way. Although... maybe I should try summoning a demon tonight. I heard humans can offer a large number of souls or something of deep sentimental value to do that."

He chuckled to himself.

"I'm quite interested in the Seven Layers of Limbo and the Goetia system too. Either way, if Lilith manages to break the barrier, then the game truly begins."

He paused, his voice becoming colder.

"At that moment, I'll use my full power and one-shot this school, wiping out everyone in it."

"A world with fewer superhumans is mercy to the planet itself."

"That is indeed true, however me, I think I will be leaving now."

"Ha?!...

Asmodeus said to Asi, who looked up at him and said.

"I won't be gone long. I just want to check something out in this place. But… that area is way too high-level for you to just walk in and out safely."

"And what place might that be?!"

He asked Asi, who returned a puzzled look, unsure how to answer.

But seeing that it made no real difference whether she told him or not, she decided to be honest.

"There is a God nearby inside a human, or rather, several. I've taken an interest in them. I want to see them for myself, hehehe... Especially since they're alternate versions of one I've already come to know."

"Gods, you say? Hmm... are they anything like Akashina?"

Asmodeus asked, showing a flicker of curiosity about the Divine.

To which Asi replied with a thoughtful compliment.

"Like Akashina? Hmm... no, not really. Nothing can be as strong as the Will as far as I know. Still, Gods, by their nature, are living beings who've acquired enough public belief to transcend their mortal flesh. So yes, from a certain perspective, all Gods are considered Higher Beings. They exist beyond the confines of Time, Space, and Dimensionality as a whole."

"Their Divine Authority is shaped by how they're perceived. For example, if someone was widely known for healing during their life, upon ascension they would gain an Authority aligned with the Aspect of Healing. If someone was known as a water wielder, they might become a Water God with aide of belief shaping them."

"Ideas are vast, limitless in the mind, but with enough faith, anyone can shed their mortality and become the embodiment of a concept. That, in essence, is what makes a God, well a God. Dominion over or application of a fundamental aspect of existence."

Hearing this Asmodeus began to ponder, his eyes look at Asi status specifically her title, or rather her true name.

『The Will of The World』

Although she vividly explain what it means to become a God.

And the process to do so, alongside her own story to the top.

That in of itself is probably not easy at all.

"Sigh... Either way, one goal at a time."

But when Asmodeus looked down to converse with Asi, she was already gone.

"Tsh, this girl is sure as hell is fast."

"Well either way, let's just go back home for today, I will like to hear the reports of the others, these vessels should be hiding our presence flawlessly, so I don't have to worry about them getting caught."

With that Asmodeus began to walk.

However he felt uneasy, as he walked the roads of the Academy like City.

Just then, in time as well it would seem.

Asmodeus noticed something strange.

He stopped walking and looked around. The night wind danced through his green hair as it flickered in the dim streetlights.

"Anastasia... something's off. I could've sworn this street was crowded just moments ago."

『Notice... We are now within a Mirror Space, a copied version of Eden's World』

"A mirrored space, huh? Tch. The Braves, is it? I knew they were around, but who would've thought they'd introduce themselves in such a rude and direct fashion. This is straight-up kidnapping, you know?"

He smiled and turned slowly.

Standing in the distance was a short figure cloaked entirely in white. Their face was obscured by thick, unnatural darkness beneath the hood.

They didn't speak. Didn't move. Rather they just stood there, watching.

"So... who exactly are you supposed to be?"

Asmodeus asked his stalker, and kidnapper.

But no answer came his way

Instead, the figure raised both hands, conjuring a massive 10-meter white fireball instantly.

The heat bend space, and delete matter.

The power unbelievable, as it keep rising in temperature as the heat continued to rise.

Asmodeus's eyes narrowed as the world slowed around him. His mind processed information at a rate over 10,000,000 times faster than a human could comprehend.

In that moment, the enemy appeared frozen in time, not because they were, but because he was moving so fast the world look like it stop moving alongside him.

Naturally using the 'Eye's of Truth,' he took upon himself to see what he was dealing with

╔═════════════════════════╗

|Race: Doll|

|Attack: Magic|

|Type: Illusion|

|Attack Synopsis: A flame that doesn't burn in the conventional sense. Instead, it causes increasing, excruciating pain, its intensity multiplies 100× every five seconds. Most die from shock, the heat itself is an illusion, so much so, what is expected of it is normally what you would perceive should happen if it lands|

╚═════════════════════════╝

"A doll?"

Asmodeus muttered, but he soon ignore them, deciding to destroy it on the spot.

"Aww, well... scrap is still scrap."

With a casual stride, Asmodeus lunged forward and delivered what he called a "light punch." The impact didn't just obliterate the doll, no! It send it flying, to the point the doll tore apart several nearby buildings when it existed through their structures, reducing them to microscopic rubble. The shockwave spread like a supersonic tsunami.

Filling the battlefield with Chaos.

¡𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐎𝐎𝐌!

The earth trembled beneath his feet. The giant fireball was snuffed out like a candle, before it even landed.

And yet… he was still holding back. This was only a fraction of his power, limited by the constraints of a human body.

But things were far from over.

『Notice Host, detection: 7,840 enemies is quickly approaching from every direction within the area 』

"Hmm. That many? Sounds like fun. Threat level?"

He asked, and Anastasia quickly replied saying.

『Threath Level is the equivalent of 10 A-Rank Mystics』

"...Weak."

Asmodeus said honestly, for being as strong as he was despite his current limitations, something like this was utterly weak.

Suddenly, thousands of cloaked figures in red, blue, white, and yellow swarmed from every direction, out of buildings, from alleyways, even clawing up from underground.

Asmodeus stared blankly at them and deadpanned.

"What is this, a cult for clowns?"
