5 Chapter 5: Death of Demon Kings

Actually, it was very easy for Yahweh to persuade Zekram Bael to accept the deal. Yahweh told Zekram Bael that if he didn't accept the deal, he would control the Devil land.

If there is anything more terrifying than Satan Kings, it is for God to become the new authority of the demons.

Despite his reluctance, Zekram had to accept.

Zekram Bael was a clever man. He couldn't deal with both the Satan Faction and fight against Heaven. So, it was easy for Yahweh to enforce the deal.

Fast forward, Yahweh looked at the ordinary-looking angel standing before him. Despite being an angel, his wings were demonic. They were wings of a red Dragon.

Yahweh had also added Dragon blood to this newly created angel. It would be correct to call his new creation a half-angel, half-dragon.

Yahweh placed his hand on the head of his new creation. "Awaken."

With Yahweh's voice, the half-angel, half-dragon opened his eyes. His eyes were like those of a dragon. They were red-eyed, and he had dark yellow hair that reached the nape of his neck.

He was dressed in black robes. Additionally, thanks to the Dragon blood, he had the potential to become a Super Devil. It also has much significance.

Through the angel blood, he could access divine energy. And the divine power carries the power of "Morning Star" he received from Lucifer, making him a Satan-Level-Class being from the moment of his birth.

Moreover, if he remains unharmed and develops well, he could definitely become a minor God in a short time. Thanks to "The key of the Underworld," a book empowered by the soul of Hades, given to him by Yahweh, he will have various spells, including forbidden magic. This means he can contend with a God like Loki.

Yahweh's new creation would be the ambassador of Heaven in the Underworld. This means Yahweh would have a say in the Devil's domain.

Yahweh looked at his new creation, who was pure and curious. "From now on, your name is Azazil, my child."

Azazil, though appearing as an adult, had the mindset of a child. As soon as he heard his new name, he got excited like a child. "Thank you, Father!"

Yahweh chuckled and ruffled Azazil's hair. Then he handed him "The key of the Underworld" book. "This is a gift for you, Azazil."

Azazil eagerly took the book. He examined it with curiosity and excitement.

Yahweh then looked at Azrael, who was standing behind him. Azrael had been eliminating superiors of the Satan Faction in the human world for a while. That's why he didn't participate in the war in the Devil's domain.

Yahweh began speaking in a calm voice. "Azrael, I have a new task for you."

Azrael bowed respectfully. He listened carefully to what his father had to say. "Yes, Father?"

"I want you to teach everything to your new brother, Azazil. Can you do that for me?" Yahweh said gently. If Azrael didn't want to, he could assign this task to another angel.

"Don't worry, Father. I will teach him everything." Azrael spoke with his composed tone.

Yahweh smiled and affectionately stroked the head of his son, one of the two Death angels in Heaven. "Well done."

Though Azrael tried to maintain a stoic face, he was happy to receive praise from his father. After all, getting praise from his father wasn't easy.

"Azazil, your brother Azrael will take care of you. Listen to him and learn everything he says. Okay?" Yahweh ruffled Azazel's head and calmly said.

Azazil immediately nodded obediently like a submissive child. "Don't worry, Father. I won't go against my brother's words."

Yahweh smiled. "Well done."

Azrael went to Azazil. After respectfully bowing to Yahweh, they went to the Library.

Left alone in the experiment room, Yahweh returned to his research.

The last thing Yahweh researched was the "Alpha Stigma." It was a powerful ability from an anime he watched in his previous life. He could analyze and learn magic just by looking at its casting.

Even though Yahweh had knowledge of thousands of spells, he thought that there would be no harm in learning new spells.

"Alpha Stigma is like building a supercomputer in the brain," Yahweh stroked his chin and looked thoughtfully at the ground. "Hmm."

"Actually, Alpha Stigma seemed to be something separate from consciousness. Yes, Alpha Stigma was like a supercomputer living in the brain." Yahweh said as if enlightened. He adjusted his glasses and smiled.

Even though there is nothing wrong with his eyes, he wore glasses because he looked wise with them.

Anyway, what Yahweh understood from Alpha Stigma was that it was actually a supercomputer working in the brain. "This supercomputer was dependent on human eyes. It had the capacity to solve spells seen through the eyes with great computational power."

Yahweh closed his calm eyes. He directed the world's sound.

[Attention]

[Individual Yahweh created a new skill.]

[Individual Yahweh created the "Alpha Sigma" skill.]

[Attention]

[Individual Yahweh created the "Great Sage" skill.]

[Individual Yahweh combined the "Alpha Stigma" skill with the "Great Sage" skill to improve.]

[Successful development.]

[{Master of Wisdom Solomon} was created as a result of the combination of the {Great Sage} and {Alpha Stigma} skills.} "

"Solomon, compare yourself to the original Master of Wisdom, Raphael." Yahweh wondered how talented his new skill [Master of Wisdom Solomon] was.

{I can analyze faster than Raphael. Thanks to the {Alpha Stigma} skill, I can analyze spells almost effortlessly.}

{The skills I gained for the Master are as follows:

Parallel Thinking: One of the skills the Master gained is Parallel Thinking. This skill allows the Master to separate his phenomenal analyzes from his regular thoughts.

Alpha Stigma: The Master passively analyzes spells. He can analyze and learn all kinds of spells. He can learn from the basic essence of a substance.

[Author's note: I'm too lazy to explain all the skills.]

...}

After explaining all the sub-skills, Yahweh smiled. He was sure that his potential had increased with such skills. "Maybe, in 400 years, I could have the power to even kill Dragon Gods."

Yahweh thought excitedly. Then he continued his experiments.

********

Uriel stood there, feeling dejected. The front was about to be breached. The entire southern Front was on the verge of falling. Raphael was also on his way. While Uriel dealt with the Devil Dukes, Raphael was attending to the remaining Pillars.

The war raged on. It was all in favor of Heaven. Although Uriel didn't want the war to continue, he was reluctant to give up the advantages they had.

Looking at his assistant standing beside him, Uriel said, "From Heaven, I need some reinforcements. There are shortages in some garrisons on the Southern Front. Please relay this to Heaven."

The assistant, a ten-winged angel, nodded and then left Uriel's luxurious tent.

Uriel sat down to rest in his tent. The entire war had worn him out.

After centuries of fighting, Uriel had reached his limit. "Perhaps this truce is a good thing," he thought.

Lost in deep thought, Uriel was interrupted by Raphael's arrival. With weary eyes, Raphael looked at Uriel. "Uriel, I have arrived."

Uriel's eyes widened in surprise. He had thought Raphael was still far away. "Brother, what brought you back?"

"We've established garrisons with Sandalphon, Raziel, and Remiel in the West and East. Also, it seems Father doesn't want any demons affiliated with the Satan Faction to escape, especially the Children of the Devil Kings." Raphael spoke calmly.

(Author note: I changed Haniel's name to Remiel)

Uriel nodded. Not engaging with the Anti-Satan Faction didn't mean they wouldn't act against the Satan Faction.

While Heaven might have signed a ceasefire with the Anti-Satan Faction clans, there was no ceasefire with the Satan Faction. Yahweh saw this as an opportunity to inflict great damage on the Satan Faction.

Raphael's tired expression changed, and he looked at Uriel seriously. Seeing Raphael's stern look, Uriel also became serious. "Rizevim Livan Lucifer has escaped."

Uriel's eyes widened in shock. Unlike the children of the other Devil Kings, Rizevim Livan Lucifer was a Super Satan-class demon.

Even Uriel had to take Rizevim seriously. He was both smart and powerful. Uriel wasn't even sure if he could defeat Rizevim.

"When Father heard about this, he was disappointed. Even Father didn't know how Rizevim Livan Lucifer escaped from the Underworld. It seems he had help from someone." Raphael stood there, filled with disappointment.

"Well, do you think Michael will win?" Uriel asked, breaking the tense atmosphere and smiling calmly.

Despite being tired, Raphael smiled. "Since Michael gained skills from the voice of the Earth, he has become incredibly strong. I'm sure he has become a high-level Celestial Archangel, just as Father said." Raphael had watched Michael train with his new sword.

"He also has Excalibur, which can unleash attacks powerful enough to destroy the continent ten times over. He has Ifrit, a fairy with immense power. He even possesses the most powerful skill in Heaven."

"So, there's nothing to worry about," Raphael smiled. Raphael's absolute trust in Michael seemed to reassure Uriel.

With amused eyes, Uriel looked at Raphael. "I pity the Devil Kings who face him."

Raphael smiled even more. Thinking about the Devil Kings trembling in front of Michael made him laugh like the Golden King Gilgamesh.

Soon, Uriel joined Raphael in laughter. They laughed like Gilgamesh.

Yahweh looked down from his sphere at Uriel and Raphael. They were laughing like Gilgamesh. Helplessly, he smiled. It felt like he had created two Gilgamesh.

********

Michael transferred his holy power to the sword and swung it with all his might. A great holy power targeted Lucifer.

Lucifer grabbed Leviathan's shoulders standing beside him. He used Leviathan's body to block the holy power coming towards him. Then the immense holy power emanating from Michael's sword struck Leviathan's body.

After the holy energy struck Leviathan's body, Michael narrowed his eyes. "Lucifer, you even sacrificed your own comrade. You've truly changed. I can't see a trace of Helel in you anymore."

Michael sighed in disappointment. Lucifer, in agony, broke Leviathan's neck and threw his lifeless body to the ground. Lucifer smirked coldly. "Do you think I care about those scum? No, not at all. After all, they were created to serve me."

Beelzebub glared angrily at Lucifer. With a fierce expression, he raised his spear and attacked Lucifer.

Lucifer quickly drew a mysterious dagger. With deadly speed, he deflected Beelzebub's attack and stabbed him in the heart.

Beelzebub's eyes widened in shock. He looked at Lucifer with anger. "You...!!"

Before Beelzebub could say anything, his body began to turn to ash. "What's happening...!! No, it can't be, I am mighty Beelzebub!! How!???"

Beelzebub writhed in agony. Unable to speak further, he turned to ash. Lucifer grinned mercilessly and then raised the dagger into the air. Beelzebub's power was drawn into the dagger, just as Asmodeus's power had been when he was killed.

Michael's eyes hardened as he saw the power in the dagger. The combination of the three Satan Class powers had created a force greater than Satan-Level-Class.

Since obtaining the power of the dagger, Lucifer had become even stronger than before. He now possessed a power equivalent to gods like Odin and Hades. Formerly a Super Satan Class, Lucifer had gained a power surpassing his previous strength.

Lucifer looked down on Michael with disdain. "You're always weak, Michael. Your kindness disgusts me."

Despite Lucifer's insults, Michael remained calm, seemingly unaffected. "We didn't come here to talk, Lucifer."

Lucifer gripped the dagger tightly. Then, with a flap of his wings, he appeared in front of Michael and swung the dagger.

Michael quickly turned his sword and blocked Lucifer's attack.

For a while, Michael and Lucifer continued to battle each other. Eventually, Michael struck Lucifer in the face with the hilt of Excalibur.

Lucifer staggered, but quickly regained his composure and backed away.

Michael began to ascend slowly. In a gentle voice, he said, "[Justice King Michael]."

After using his skill, a large white circle gleamed. The circle grew larger and larger until it enveloped the entire island.

Lucifer trembled as he looked at the magical circle in the sky. Despite gaining great power, he felt a terrifying force emanating from the magical circle.

Soon, traces of holy power began to emerge all over the island. The earth couldn't withstand the power of the magical circle and began to crumble.

After a while, a bright light shone throughout the island from the magical circle. Lucifer had to close his eyes.

When he reopened them, he felt the presence of thousands of angels filling the sky. For the first time in his life, Lucifer felt fear, as all the angels in the sky were eight-winged angels.

Lucifer's fear was understandable. Seeing thousands of eight-winged angels in one place was not easy. Moreover, they were all armored and armed with sharp swords.

One eight-winged angel might not have been a problem, but thousands were definitely a threat.

Michael raised Excalibur and commanded in a calm and holy voice, "Attack."

The angels in the sky aligned as if they were of one mind and attacked Lucifer with terrifying speed.

Lucifer looked at the approaching angels and held his dagger. He used his super speed to move through the attacking angels and pierced their bodies.

But what surprised Lucifer was that the angels resurrected after they were killed. "Damn it! How is this possible!?"

Lucifer continued to destroy the angels mercilessly. However, no matter how much he did, the endless army of angels showed no signs of diminishing, and he continued to fight them.

As Lucifer fought, he didn't realize that hours had passed, and he was beginning to tire. Despite his efforts, the never-ending army of angels cut through his body.

Lucifer's body was covered in wounds as he continued to fight. Finally, he fell to the ground after one of his wings was severed.

Lucifer fell to one knee. "Is this it? Am I going to die here?"

Lucifer looked at the angel flying towards him. He didn't even have the strength to raise his arm. Despite gaining the power of the three Satan Kings, his powers were not limitless.

As Lucifer waited to die, the angels suddenly dispersed.

Lucifer looked at Michael, who stood before him. "Michael, you've won."

Lucifer stood surrendering. He could see the hesitation in Michael's eyes.

Michael raised his sword. He looked at Lucifer, who was kneeling, with one wing destroyed. But as he was about to strike, he hesitated.

"You foolish brother. Didn't they teach you never to show mercy to your enemy?" Lucifer held the dagger and attacked Michael with a smile.

Michael tried to defend himself with his sword, but it was too late. Lucifer stabbed Michael in the abdomen with his dagger.

"Die, Michael." Lucifer looked at Michael's betrayed expression and laughed. But he noticed a change in Michael's eyes.

The gentle gaze was gone, replaced by a cold and ruthless one. Lucifer pulled his dagger out of Michael's abdomen and quickly backed away.

"You...! Who are you!?" Lucifer yelled, trembling, as he looked at Michael.

Michael smiled. His cold expression was contradictory to his personality. "Lucifer, you've disappointed me again."

Lucifer's eyes trembled as he heard his father's words, and instinctively, he recoiled. With a trembling voice, he said, "How!? My dagger was supposed to kill Michael!!"

Yahweh, who had borrowed Michael's body, smiled at Lucifer's reaction. "No weapon can harm its creator."

Lucifer's eyes widened in fear. Before he could react, the dagger in his hand flew towards Yahweh's hand.

The power Lucifer had derived from the dagger vanished, and his power diminished to Satan-Level.

Yahweh took hold of the dagger. Then, with slow steps, he approached Lucifer.

Lucifer wanted to escape, but he couldn't move. He couldn't even twitch a single hair in front of his father.

Yahweh stood before Lucifer. He looked into Lucifer's eyes, then leaned in close. "Now, it's time for everything to end."

With a swift motion, Yahweh pierced Lucifer's abdomen. "Ahhg this...!!! This can't be!!!"

Lucifer groaned in agony. As his body slowly disappeared, his power was absorbed into the dagger.

After a while, Lucifer's body had completely vanished.

Yahweh began to inject Lucifer's soul into the dagger. Thus, a new Longinus was born. "I name you the 'Dagger of Betrayal.'"

With this, it was accepted as the 12th Longinus. Because Ddraig and Albion had not yet become Longinus. They were alive and good. Yahweh had decided to deal with them later.

Because the war had ended earlier than expected. Therefore, Yahweh believed that the battle between Albion and Ddraig would soon take place.

Anyway. As Yahweh was about to leave Michael's body, he sensed a powerful presence. He turned his head.

The great body of Great Red greeted Yahweh from the island. The large and powerful eyes looked at Yahweh. "Yahweh, you have become stronger."

Even against the strongest being in the DxD universe, Yahweh stood calmly. Now he couldn't harm Great Red, but he could escape.

"You haven't changed at all." Yahweh said calmly.

Great Red narrowed his eyes. "Killing your favorite son without hesitation..."

"You have really changed..." Great Red said.

Yahweh just smiled. "Time can change even a god."

Great Red didn't reply. There was silence for a while. This silence was broken by the large mouth of Great Red.

Yahweh realized that Great Red was about to attack him and immediately teleported Michael's body back to Heaven.

After Yahweh disappeared, a huge fire erupted from Great Red's mouth and quickly destroyed the island.
