Unruly!

The voice was powerful as it registered the shock that a PHANTASMAL ranked being who stood as the fifth Ruler of the Demon World was killed in just a few seconds!

Not just killed, as they felt his True Death right after! The apprehension that many demons were feeling soon turned into fear at the reality currently occurring above them. This was especially so for the Rulers whose names were mentioned from the mouth of this terrifying existence earlier.

Many of them were in the Legendary or Mythical rank, but they just watched the being that had laid down a death sentence for them kill a PHANTASMAL ranked Ruler in just a few seconds!

Despair crept in their hearts as at this moment, the skies and earth of the Demon World trembled, the Will of the World making its presence clear as it just watched one of its most powerful remaining forces face True Death. But it was bound by Universal Laws, and could not do much.

Agares was looking at all of this wistfully as his Ultimate Skill continued to give him different pathways of survival, his head shaking as the pathway Marbas had taken really did lead to his destruction. He continued to hear the unruly voice of the Demon World in his mind as he found himself not being able to do anything besides meet the commands of this terrifying being or face death.

"Belial, Asmodeus, Dantalion, Furcas, Malphas, Andras, Valac, Naberius, Marax, Phenex, Orobas, Haures, and Gaap. These thirteen beings will be meeting their True Deaths today, anyone standing in the way will face the same fate as them."

The voice seemed inviolable as it thundered out and reiterated once more. The words thundered out even louder as during this time, the Trident of the Sea floating atop the middle of Noah’s head accepted even more mana, the feature of [Spatial Lock] being expanded out widely to cover everything his eyes could see as he disabled the abilities of spatial movements for his enemies.

The monoliths that had struck down throughout the Demon Capital intensified their power as the normal process of creating a channel to another world was propelled rapidly, causing Dungeon Breaks to already be occurring for some of the monoliths.

The figures coming out of these Dungeon Breaks varied from humans to beasts, but they were led by beings letting out fearsome power at the MYTHICAL rank.

One dungeon break showed the arrival of the forces of the Imperial Phoenix as beasts of colourful azure red took to the skies. The aura of powerful Phoenixes spread out grandly as they made their appearance in the Demon World.

The other two Mythical Beast forces made their appearance soon after as a large number of muscular White Tigers and humongous Turtles roared out to signify their arrival.

An even denser collection of beings came out from other monoliths as humans led by the now MYTHICAL ranked Kazuhiko and Steel Mikhail came together to form a fearsome force in another portion of the Demon Capital.

All the forces were gathering together and reigning in their powers carefully as they waited for a single command to attack. Dangerous lights were in their eyes as old painful memories came out when they associated the beings they were seeing in front of them with the losses they took some time back.

Many of them knew though, that even after they did what they were about to do, nothing would change. Their loved ones would not come back. Those they lost would not return. But their hearts were stifled. Even while knowing that, they still could not sit still, they still had to return some of what they tasted to those responsible!

"I know it may seem unfair for beings you do not know to come and invade your home with the goal of killing those closest to you. It is even more unfair that I am telling you to not do anything to defend them."

Noah’s voice continued to resound throughout the Demon Capital as movements began to occur for many of the Legions spread out, a few Rulers grouping up together as the situation seemed to be turning for the worse.

"I have seen events like these too many times, and am frankly tired of watching them repeat over and over again. The names of the Rulers I mentioned were involved in similar invasions, and that is what they have to die. But they are the only ones that have to. If you don’t shield them, you will be safe. But if you choose the other option...even though I’ve recently come to dislike senseless killings, I can still carry them out."

His words travelled to the minds of every single Ruler as discord and confusion were spread even more through the use of the PHANTASMAL ranked [Persuasion].

A battle of pride and sense of livelihood was occurring in the minds of many Rulers as this new reality set in for them. But was pride more important than one’s life? The strongest beings would still tremble in unwillingness and fear when their lives were at stake, so what about beings who never had to fear death, but death suddenly became a very real thing for them?

The Rulers whose names were not listed had wretched looks on their faces as they began to distance their forces from the named Rulers.

"Cowards!"

"Vile Creatures!"

Curses were being thrown around as they watched their own compatriots they had moved with for years move away from them because of the fear of death. It was a fear that they were not normally faced with, which was why this situation was so foreign and intense for them.

Agares had a difficult expression as he followed the pathway shown by his Ultimate Skill and sent a message to all the Rulers that the powerful Hydra had not mentioned, telling them to either stand down or face death.

Far from them was a certain Necromancer of Chaos that was watching the events occurring in the Capital from a far location. There weren’t any undead that she had left behind in the Demon World for her to collect, and it was just an excuse for her to leave the events in the Capital to unfold as they would.

She knew that she could not go back to the way things were the moment Baal faced his true death, and was committed to following through her selfish goals without worry. Yet, she still felt some attachment to the beings and the world she was born in. She couldn’t bring herself to be there and watch as some of them faced True Death.

She looked across the deathly quiet region she held the rule of as the vibrations of power continued to ring out from the Demon Capital. Her gaze continued to shift from impassive coldness to occasional guilt, but the coldness seemed to always win out in the end.

She had spent countless years shackled down, she would not stop now after coming so far. The being that had captured her interest now seemed to be one of the few lights that were brightening up her always bleak surroundings that were only full of the undead. There was a sense of deep interest and curiosity that she did not want to let go yet. So she would follow the path she set herself on all the way, no matter what happened after. As always, coldness replaced all other emotions in the eyes of the Necromancer of Chaos as her eyes gazed at a far distance.

The Demon Capital was hectic as many citizens locked themselves behind closed doors trembling in fear at this unforeseen situation. Legions of Demons moved across the Capital as gradually, two camps began forming in the largest Capital of a Large World.

All of the remaining Rulers had gathered their forces together in this Capital after the sudden true deaths of so many of their peers, which gave an unbelievable opportunity for Noah’s goals.

A never before seen division was occurring because of it, whether it was due to the oppressive power the forces he came with brought, or the fear of death that many Rulers had not come across their entire lives, a division was occurring nonetheless in the Demon World.
