The vengeful reincarnator, Raziel, observed the battle happening below her feet.
Chuljang won over Azrael.
Michael hitting Yanluo.
There were so many battles happening all at once as both angels and demons clashed against each other.
She watched as Cassiel fought against the blackhole that Dushi, the demon lord of gluttony, had opened up. It sucked everything in its path, and Cassiel barely held on with her virtue, 『Temperantia』.
Both Uriel and Ramiel fought the demon lord of envy, Taishan. They were just about to overpower him.
In one corner of the field, the demon lord of sloth Wuguan lazily controlled a giant mechanical robot he had purchased from Taishan as Raphael and Gabriel simultaneously defended themselves and attacked the defensive barrier of 『Nullification』 Wuguan had erected around him.
However, as the battle continued on, one side started pushing back the other.
Only five deadly sins were present, while the seven virtues were complete.
Raziel's heart started to speed up. It was their fortune that the Great Demon King had underestimated them.
When she got rescued, only three of the virtues had exposed their presence. It was possible that the Great Demon King didn't expect that she had managed to gather all of the seven angel lords. In this battle, they had the advantage of numbers.
In what seemed like no time at all, all of the battles have already ended. And the result was just as she expected.
"Michael, remember that you owe us a meal!"
Michael grumbled under his breath, but nodded his head.
Raziel smiled. They had won.
The other angels cheered. They began to treat the wounded, and Raziel was about to fly down and join them.
Suddenly, from where he was resting on the ground, Raphael jerked his head. His virtue was humility, the opposite of 『Superbia』.
"I can sense the demon lord of pride coming here!" He quickly shouted out.
Raziel stood still. She enhanced her eyesight and gazed at the nearby horizon. Just as Raphael had said, she could see single speck moving towards them in great speed, looking like a solitary individual.
Raziel calmly gave orders below.
"Raphael, Michael, Gabriel, prepare to fight!"
The vengeful reincarnator wasn't worried. They had already defeated five demon lords, and the demon lord of lust was dead. Even if Songdi came, three of the virtues were enough to quickly subdue him.
That was then.
As the single speck drew nearer and nearer, becoming more visible, the single speck increased to several figures.
Raziel's heart skipped a beat. "What..."
In the next moment, she heard a sound akin to the darkness roaring out. A powerful aura surged towards them, so powerful that the seven virtues immediately collapsed from the pressure.
There were creatures flying in the air, and skeletons mixed with crawling demons marched on the ground. An army of thousands were rushing towards them.
It was an enormous army, crashing in like a tidal wave. Raziel could feel her heart palpitating in fear. Cold sweat trickled down the back of her neck, as if the grim reaper itself was pointing its scythe on her.
In front of this enormous army, stood Songdi.
He wasn't the only one there though.
Wen Yu, the right-hand man of the Great Demon King. He looked half-bored, but his presence there signified that there was going to be a bloodbath.
Songdi raised his staff.
"For the glory of the underworld!" He shouted out.
Wen Yu also raised his hand. "For the glory of the under...you know what, this is kind of embarrassing."
Just as Songdi glared at him, the army behind them raised their weapons towards the heavens and began to roar out in a single voice.
"For the glory of His Majesty!"
But all of this didn't cause Raziel to fall into despair. It was the lone figure in the air, riding on a gigantic dragon just behind the army on the ground, that caused her to feel as if everything suddenly became washed in grey. Because of her enhanced vision, Raziel could see his appearance clearly.
The Great Demon King had already reverted back to his original form. A ruthless and bloodthirsty conquerer, whose body dominated everyone around him. Long and thick horns curving downwards almost blocked his face, while his eyes that were like a well of ice accurately met her gaze.
Raziel's whole body shuddered. It was as if that gaze was already looking at a corpse.
'This battle...it's already over.'
Despair, thick and heavy, seemed to drag her down. Even her wings began to slow down, as if there were heavy chains binding her feet.
She had planned to confront the Great Demon King, but not in this battlefield. After her group of angels defeated the demon lords, she planned for them to rest and train harder. Then, at the perfect moment when all of her traps were set into place, all of them would confront the Great Demon King.
'This is my only chance...there's no assurance that I would be able to reincarnate again.'
Inch by inch, the vengeful reincarnator's body began to fall back on the ground.
'I only wanted to expose the truth. Why is the world so unfair? What did I do to deserve this?'
Hatred against the world shrivelled up her heart.
'I don't want to die like this. This is unfair. I don't want to die!'
As her soul began to corrupt, her white wings began to be dyed in black. Horns protruded through her hair, and a black aura emanated from her.
Her companions from below shouted in horror.
"Raziel, no!"
"Raziel, come back to your senses!"
The pixel in her hand shattered, as only anger and vengeance roared out in her veins. The vengeful reincarnator began to grow in size, reaching an almost similar height to the Great Demon King. The power in her aura also rose to an unbelievable degree.
Even Songdi froze a little in fear. "This aura..."
Nova, who had the identity of Wen Yu, also took on a serious expression.
The vengeful reincarnator they were facing now was a child of fate. Although they weren't as favored by the heavens as the male god, it couldn't be denied that their fates usually have great fortune. For example, just like the vengeful reincarnator here.
Just right on time, she managed to evolve to become an existence that could fight the Great Demon King.
In mid-air, the vengeful reincarnator finally faced the arriving Great Demon King. Her expression was calm and cold, completely unlike the expression of fear she had worn before. It was as if the former angel that had stood there only minutes before had never existed.
She extended out a finger, pointing at him.
"Xu Jinhai, I challenge you to a fight."
Her words didn't end there, however.
"I wish to replace you as the Great Demon King."
