62: Chapter 62

It is a pity that this card has already been ruined by that brat, the Red Dragon Emperor.

Samael is the only guy in the Three Realms capable of hurting Ophis.

Now that his trump card is gone, Rizevim Livan Lucifer naturally has no interest in playing house here with this bunch of arrogant brats who do not know the immensity of heaven and earth.

Besides, the movements from the Underworld side really surprised him a bit.

A trace of unease faintly welled up in his heart.

Especially Fenrir, who actually appeared at the banquet of the Sitri Clan.

And even got mixed up with that brat, the Red Dragon Emperor.

Come to think of it, Loki, who has been missing for so long, must have been finished off by that brat, the Red Dragon Emperor.

Fenrir must have been lured away by him as well.

The problem is—

Did the Red Dragon Emperor kill Loki outside, or did he make his move near the Khaos Brigade?

If it was outside, that would be nothing.

But if it was here...

Rizevim Livan Lucifer's gaze darkened.

Regardless of which is the truth, it is enough to make him ponder.

Rizevim Livan Lucifer had a thought cross his mind; coming back this time was likely a real mistake.

The people from the Khaos Brigade cannot stay here any longer.

He had just thought of this—

"Boom!"

A loud explosion erupted, shaking the entire heaven and earth.

Before Shalba Beelzebub and his group could react to what was happening, a mass of pitch-black Power of Destruction descended from the sky, slamming directly onto the canyon, blasting that oval-shaped building along with the entire canyon into dust.

Dust danced across the sky, the green vegetation was completely leveled, and only a grey, hazy ruin remained in place.

The trees near the canyon were snapped in half by the shockwave, and birds and beasts fled in terror.

Animal instinct told them that something big was about to happen over there.

Not long after, "Bang!"

A muffled sound came from within the ruins.

It seemed like something was exerting force from inside, pushing away all the rubble pressing down on top.

As the dust and smoke dissipated, Rizevim Livan Lucifer and Shalba Beelzebub and a few others revealed their figures from the ruins.

He looked up at the sky at Sirzechs Lucifer, who had already entered Destruction Mode, as well as Serafall and Falbium Asmodeus behind him.

The three great Devil Kings of the Underworld had all arrived.

There was no expression of surprise on Rizevim Livan Lucifer's face.

That feeling of unease in his heart earlier was indeed not for nothing.

"How is this possible... Sirzechs Lucifer! How could you fake Devil Kings be here?! This is... the Demonic Forbidden Army of the New Maou Castle!"

Katerea Leviathan was covered in dirt, her voice sharp and grating, staring wide-eyed at the dense, black masses of the Demonic Forbidden Army in front of her.

That group of soldiers had an astonishing aura, filled with murderous intent, each one with a stern face, their eyes carrying a determination that feared no death.

This was the ace unit of the New Maou Castle, the Demonic Forbidden Army.

Their combat power was a cut above the Royal Guard.

The ranks were basically filled with Mid-Class Devils and High-Class Devils; one could barely see any Low-Class Devils.

What Shalba Beelzebub and the others couldn't figure out most was—

If the New Maou Castle were to mobilize such a large formation as the Demonic Forbidden Army, how could it possibly have escaped the notice of their informants?

And how did the Underworld find the lair of the Khaos Brigade?

"Hmph... still haven't figured it out?" Rizevim Livan Lucifer looked at Shalba Beelzebub and the others mockingly, "That brat, the Red Dragon Emperor, sold us all out; sold us to the Underworld."

With just this little bit of brains, they still dream all day about returning to the Underworld to seize the position of Devil King.

Rizevim Livan Lucifer's gaze crossed over Sirzechs Lucifer and locked onto Falbium Asmodeus in the rear. "The matter of the Demonic Forbidden Army, it was your doing, right, Falbium Asmodeus."

He hadn't spent any less time dealing with Falbium Asmodeus than he had with Sirzechs Lucifer.

Sirzechs Lucifer had by this time completely entered his Destruction form, the pressure around his body as heavy as a mountain. "Rizevim Livan Lucifer, and Shalba Beelzebub, you should all stop now. For the sake of the contributions the First Generation Four Great Demon Kings made for the Underworld, I can spare your lives."

His tone carried a weight that allowed no rebuttal. "Sirzechs Lucifer, you imposters are not worthy of mentioning the First Generation Four Great Demon Kings."

Creuserey Asmodeus raised his hand to point at Sirzechs Lucifer, his voice filled with anger. "And that damned Red Dragon Emperor, he won't escape. Lady Ophis is right here."

The pressure of the Infinite Dragon God Ophis was indeed still permeating the surroundings.

Even if more enemies came, they wouldn't panic.

In the Three Realms, no one could contend with the Infinite Dragon God.

Shalba Beelzebub and Katerea Leviathan had the same thought in their hearts.

They even wished that Ophis would take action right now and wipe out all these imposters who were obstructing them.

Rizevim Livan Lucifer looked at their faces, his eyes filled with mockery. "If it weren't for the fact that you truly have the blood of the First Generation Four Great Demon Kings flowing in you, I would suspect that you had been swapped by someone."

"Lord Rizevim Livan Lucifer, what do you mean by that?"

Shalba Beelzebub gritted his teeth, unable to suppress his rising anger.

Anyone who could still smile after being scolded must be a fool. "You know full well that the brat, the Red Dragon Emperor, has already sold us out; do you really think he wouldn't be on guard against the Infinite Dragon God?"

Rizevim Livan Lucifer's words were like a bucket of cold water poured down.

Shalba Beelzebub and the others suddenly realized.

Earlier, when Sirzechs Lucifer made his move, he blew the entire canyon flat; with such a huge commotion, it was impossible for Ophis to still be asleep.

But now the canyon had become a ruin, yet the shadow of that person was nowhere to be seen. "No... impossible..."

Shalba Beelzebub's voice began to tremble. "That bastard, the Red Dragon Emperor, how dare he... how dare he do this!"

Without the protection of the Infinite Dragon God, what could they and the legions under them use to fight Sirzechs Lucifer?

Even if they still had the snakes given by Ophis inside their bodies, there was simply no chance of victory.

Before the words had even finished, the bodies of Shalba Beelzebub and the others suddenly stiffened.

They sensed that the snakes inside their bodies were rapidly disappearing.

The only one capable of doing this silently was the owner of the snakes.

The Infinite Dragon God Ophis had taken back all the snakes on them.

The canyon was terrifyingly quiet, as if even the wind had been frozen.

The expressions of Shalba Beelzebub and the other two were uglier than a dead person's.

Ophis's snakes—that was their only trump card to turn the tables.

With that snake, they could at least jump from the peak of Maou-Class to the Super Devil level in one go, at least able to clash a few times with Falbium Asmodeus and Serafall.

But now, the snakes were gone.

Let alone winning, whether they could survive and escape was a big problem.

Behind Shalba Beelzebub and the others, those Devil legions that had been scattered by the aftermath of Sirzechs Lucifer's attack were gathering in a scattered manner.

But each one of them looked like eggplants hit by frost.

Seeing Sirzechs Lucifer and the other two, and then seeing the row of murderous Demonic Forbidden Army behind them, many Devils had legs that were trembling.

Compared to that group of Forbidden Army soldiers with soaring fighting spirit, it was simply like heaven and earth.

It couldn't be blamed on them.

This group of Devil legions were originally remnants who had escaped from the last civil war, hiding here and there for so many years; their bones had long since softened. "Charge! Kill these imposters!"

Shalba Beelzebub gritted his teeth and directly issued a death order.

The three of them knew clearly that if they dragged this out any longer, the morale of the Devils following them would completely collapse, and it was even possible that some would defect on the spot.

It would be better to give it a try; perhaps they could find a way to survive.

If it were really as Sirzechs Lucifer said, to surrender and be locked up in the Underworld prison, never to see the light of day again, that would be worse than dying quickly.

Even if the Devil legions of the Old Satan Faction were unwilling in every way, since their masters had spoken, they could only bite the bullet and charge.

The two groups of troops collided fiercely.

Shouts of killing and roars shook heaven and earth, and the smell of blood permeated the air.

In just one encounter, countless Devil corpses fell like dumplings, splattering onto the ground.

Of those who died, eight out of ten were from the Old Satan Faction; the Demonic Forbidden Army only lost two.

The gap was instantly widened.

At this moment, Rizevim Livan Lucifer entangled Sirzechs Lucifer.

Katerea Leviathan, Creuserey Asmodeus, and Shalba Beelzebub surrounded Serafall.

Power of Destruction, ice elements, and various magics bombarded back and forth, fighting until heaven and earth crumbled.

Falbium Asmodeus was the last remaining Super Devil class combatant on the field; he didn't go to help Serafall fight those three, but instead stood to the side, his gaze cold enough to chill one to the bone.

Rizevim Livan Lucifer knew very clearly that an existence like Serafall at the limit of the Super Devil level, coupled with the three peak Maou-Class powerhouses of Shalba Beelzebub, Creuserey Asmodeus, and Katerea Leviathan, were simply not worth him taking seriously.

What was most important for him right now was to bring his strengths into play—using his extraordinary strategy to command the Demonic Forbidden Army, keeping casualties to a minimum while being able to wipe out the remnants of the Old Satan Faction in one go.

"Sirzechs Lucifer, compared to the time of the Devil civil war, you have indeed made some progress."

Rizevim Livan Lucifer squeezed his hand, and the Power of Destruction attack rushing toward him shattered in his palm.

The move looked very casual, and he seemed even more at ease in dealing with Sirzechs Lucifer.

But the way his brows were tightly furrowed exposed it—things were not as easy as they appeared on the surface. "Bang!"

A powerful strike that had been charging for a long time erupted.

The space in front was shaken until it shattered piece by piece, revealing the pitch-black void.

Even though Sirzechs Lucifer had already transformed into his Destruction form, he couldn't hold up under this strike, his body directly retreating a dozen steps in the air before he could stabilize.

The dominance of this move was evident.

Once Rizevim Livan Lucifer saw that he had succeeded, he was immediately overjoyed.

Taking advantage of the small distance opened up between him and Sirzechs Lucifer, he turned and fled toward the distance without hesitation.

From beginning to end, he never thought about fighting Sirzechs Lucifer to the death.

Even if he luckily finished off Sirzechs Lucifer, so what? He was not one of those idiots like Shalba Beelzebub, staring fixedly at the position of Underworld Devil King and refusing to let go.

He must run now.

Otherwise, if Ajuka Beelzebub were to come, and two Super Devils surrounded and attacked him, he would truly be in dire straits.

Unfortunately, he hadn't run very far.

A white shadow descended from the sky, directly blocking his path. "Vali... damn it!"

Rizevim Livan Lucifer's complexion instantly darkened to the extreme.

Blocking in front of him was none other than Vali, who had been waiting nearby for a long time.

At this moment, he had unleashed the silver Sacred Juggernaut Drive, which compared to the Juggernaut Drive in its normal state before, was simply like heaven and earth.

In terms of strength alone, it had already completely rushed to the level of a Super Devil.

His ability to nullify Sacred Gears had an upper limit...

Back then, when the Red Dragon Emperor unleashed the Sacred Juggernaut Drive in the Underworld, he had faintly felt it—his ability was completely useless against that form.

And now, that feeling had come again.

Right here on his own grandson, Vali...

This was truly troublesome now.

He could still maneuver against one Super Devil, but with two Super Devils flanking him, this was simply forcing him into a dead end. "Rizevim Livan Lucifer!"

Vali didn't care what Rizevim Livan Lucifer was thinking right now.

Dragon power and magic power erupted simultaneously, the surrounding space was shaken violently, and following that, an attack resembling an aurora bombarded toward Rizevim Livan Lucifer.

At the same time, Sirzechs Lucifer also caught up. The Power of Destruction on his hand transformed into a beam of light, smashing straight toward Rizevim Livan Lucifer. "Damn it!"

Rizevim Livan Lucifer's complexion changed abruptly. "Boom!"

Rizevim Livan Lucifer was covered in injuries, and his right arm had been completely crippled.
