Chapter 214. The 72 Demon Kings of the Demon Kings Council
61st Floor of the Bottomless Pit Labyrinth.
From the 11th Floor onward, I had been clearing the trials of the Demon Kings using Ars Goetia and verifying their powers, and before long, I found myself capable of borrowing the strength of nearly thirty Demon Kings.
And after testing all of their powers combined, my assessment was….
“It’s underwhelming.”
That’s right—underwhelming. Of course, at my words, the twenty-nine Demon Kings whose true names were revealed on the Ars Goetia parchment let out screams bordering on convulsion.
What could I do about it?
“My authority level is still too low.”
It’s merely level 1 authority. No matter how vast Solomon’s legacy is, one of five incomplete fragments—each individually called god-king tier and representing one of the mightiest forces in the Divine Realms, the 72 Demon Kings of the Demon Realm—cannot possibly lend me their full power.
“Of course, if I raise my authority to max level, complete Lemegeton in its entirety, and recover the sealed power, then it would be possible.”
Those three factors are precisely why I cannot wield proper power.
Authority level—in other words, my proficiency is low.
Ars Goetia does not exist alone; it is a grimoire where five become one.
And my current body is so frail that I can barely withstand a speck of the Demon Kings’ power.
The only reason I can use this much is thanks to facing Black Mutant King Kong in the Hidden Stage of the 10th Floor, and the rewards I gained because Solomon’s legacy was not sealed.
Had I been an ordinary player, could I have saved even a single ant passing by using Kamighin’s necromancy?
Of course, an ordinary player would suffer additional penalties preventing them from properly receiving the Demon Kings’ authority, making them even weaker.
Fortunately, as Solomon’s Successor, I possess primordial demonic energy that exists above all other demonic power, so my efficiency only increases—it never decreases.
Needless to say, this is a situation that infuriates the Demon Kings. They lent me power to meddle with life and death determined by heaven, to foresee the future, to shatter heaven and earth—and I dismiss their strength as underwhelming!
Had these been ordinary Demon Kings, they would have annihilated my body and soul on the spot.
The only problem is that I am Solomon’s Successor and possess power greater than theirs—I am in the superior position.
“Still, it’s quite versatile.”
With so many of them, there are certainly useful abilities. I drew a blade darker than pitch itself, watching the pitch-black orc charging toward me.
Its name had changed. The Imoogi sleeping in the sword that could become both the Divine Dragon Blade and the Demon Dragon Blade had consumed the primordial demonic energy—the very source and origin of all demonic power, Solomon’s own—and completed its preparation to become a true Demon Dragon.
The Wish-Granting Demon Sword. The Imoogi had seized the wish-granting orb to ascend to dragonhood—an orb composed of the densest and darkest primordial demonic energy.
〚Item: Wish-Granting Demon Sword
Grade: 4★
LV 4 (79%)
Description: The Imoogi, which once thirsted for life to achieve ascension, has madly absorbed an enormous fuel source—primordial demonic energy—and set its sights on becoming a Demon Dragon. With the incomprehensible aura of primordial demonic energy and the existence of a perfect master as Solomon’s Successor, the limits of its growth cannot even be guessed.〛
Abilities
-Growth-type Weapon
-All Stats Fixed +40
-All Experience Acquisition Rate +250%
-Trait: Wish-Granting Orb—Primordial Demon [4★]
-Skill: Ten Thousand Extremes [4★]〛
And there was an unexpected resonance. As my sword embraced the wish-granting orb, I too gained the Wish-Granting Orb trait.
〚Trait-Dragon responds to Trait: Wish-Granting Orb—Primordial Demon.〛
Dragon and Dragon, wish-granting orb and dragon heart—two powers that were similar yet different, yet the same, began to synchronize.
Naturally, that was where it ended. I wanted to see something, to feel some change.
〚Trait-Dragon is currently in a sealed state.〛
〚The connection is temporarily suspended.〛
Due to the seal, the collaboration between the dragon and the Dragon was aborted.
Frustrated, I questioned Akasha and only managed to calm my anger upon learning that coins could be spent at the rest floors that existed every 100 floors to unlock the seal.
I wondered where exactly coins were being used so frequently, and it turned out they were the currency used at the rest floors.
Rather, it seemed that players who didn’t enter seeking Solomon’s legacy like me had the rest floor shops as their goal.
Apparently, they sold many rare items and abilities that couldn’t be seen from the outside.
I had little interest in anything except Lemegeton. After all, the efficiency was abysmal, but I could create anything with the power of creation, and once the seal was lifted, I could use everything from the Golden Tower anyway.
Therefore, my current goal was the second fragment of Lemegeton and the key that existed on the 66th floor.
I advanced without hesitation, clearing the Demon King’s trials, and before long, I cleared the 66th floor.
“Here it is.”
I leaped into the ripple leading to the Hidden Stage.
***
The moment Shin Ju-ha moved to the Hidden Stage on the 66th floor—an independent space half-separated from the Bottomless Pit.
Zeus of Olympus and Gaia of the 2nd Dimension did not miss that moment.
【Gaia, now!】
Since there had been no courtesy to begin with, Gaia moved without hesitation at Zeus’s command that was closer to a decree.
Even by her own judgment, there was no timing more suitable than now. If she missed this opportunity, she would either twiddle her thumbs until the 444th floor where the next legacy existed, or she would have no choice but to feign madness and charge in recklessly.
The Demon God Solomon had commanded them not to exert direct influence. However, to reach out to Shin Ju-ha, it was inevitably necessary to involve the Bottomless Pit, and in doing so, it was impossible not to affect Shin Ju-ha inside.
Naturally, Gaia didn’t want to directly touch Shin Ju-ha and kill him, then have her very existence devoured and perish by Solomon even after desperately seizing the Creator’s power, so she waited for an opening.
That opening was naturally the moment Shin Ju-ha disappeared from the Bottomless Pit—in other words, the moment he headed to another Hidden Stage to obtain the legacy.
Kuguguguguguguuu!!!!
In the Upper Realm, where countless players of various races threw themselves at the Bottomless Pit today for sudden wealth and self-improvement.
“What?”
“Damn it? What the hell is this?”
“Don’t tell me another crazy god got pissed and started a rampage?”
“Again? Just a while ago, some low-rank Divine Seat dropped out in the 400s, got angry, destroyed everything, got heavily restricted by the System, and got locked in eternal prison?!”
“These crazy Divine Seats, they never know moderation.”
The stage where the Bottomless Pit existed began to tremble violently, and an enormous roar began to reverberate.
Before long, the sky opened.
“Huh?”
No one continued their anger, curses, or complaints. They simply froze.
From that impossible phenomenon of the opened sky, all the powerhouses who had climbed to the Upper Realm were crushed by the incomprehensible majesty emanating from it.
The fact that it ended merely with being crushed was entirely thanks to the System’s contribution in quickly grasping the situation and implementing protective measures.
〚Warning! Warning! Warning!〛
〚A great concept is interfering with the present world!〛
〚This is a phenomenon caused by legitimate causality. Intervention is impossible!〛
〚All beings must worship and bow!〛
From the opened sky descended a green radiance—beautiful, warm, mysterious, and cruel in its divinity.
【Insignificant vermin, worship me. Bow and beg. Tremble before the power of the great Mother Goddess of the Earth and offer your lives to me.】
It was but a moment. The life force of every living creature scattered throughout the entire stage was drained in an instant by the green radiance.
There was no protection from the System. This was the result of legitimate causality. The cause lay with Shin Ju-ha, but the players sacrificed in between were the true victims.
They had all perished simply by existing in the same place as Shin Ju-ha.
What was even more absurd was that the slaughter of mere hundreds of insignificant beings from the 1st Dimension—creatures who hadn’t even reached the Divine Seat—consumed not even a speck of the causality granted to Gaia.
Gaia, reveling in the key that unlocked the shackles of causality, had massacred every living thing on that single stage without hesitation, and now casually redirected the absorbed energy toward the Bottomless Pit.
Gugugugugu!
No matter how much a Concept Divine Seat Gaia was, she could not meddle with the Bottomless Pit without cost.
Let me correct myself. It was possible only by bearing considerable sacrifice. It meant expending both rank and power.
Naturally, Gaia, who had no intention of paying such a price, instead secured the power of life—obtained by slaughtering fellow 1st Dimension entities—as her foundation.
Naturally, from the System’s perspective, it was a loophole. But it was not illegal. It was simply an unsavory method.
Watching Gaia create a perfect result while expending almost none of her own power and minimizing causality consumption, Zeus clicked his tongue at her meticulousness and slightly raised his vigilance internally, but that was all.
【Kugh!】
Emerald life wrapped around the Bottomless Pit, attempting to transform it. But.
【Is it not easy? A Concept Divine Seat struggling with a mere Labyrinth created by a 1st Dimension being?】
Gaia could not easily seize control of the Bottomless Pit. It was natural to say so, yet it was also absurd.
Shedding the shell of the Concept Divine Seat bearing the incomprehensible talent of Salomon, and creating a Labyrinth with the shell of Solomon.
By simple generalization, a Labyrinth created by a 1st Dimension being should not be difficult for Gaia to control. The problem was that the opponent was not an ordinary being.
Solomon had been an irregular who transcended all, whether as a Concept Divine Seat or as a Divine Seat.
【Foolish, foolish grandson. Do you speak such words while knowing who the creator of this Labyrinth is! Kugh!】
Feeling souls and life draining away frantically, Gaia spat out the answer. A truth that most 1st Dimension beings, and even the Demon Clan who were creations, did not know.
【The Demon God Solomon who created this Labyrinth is originally a Concept Divine Seat: the strongest Concept Divine Seat called the Incomprehensible Demon, and an irregular of incomprehensibility—Salomon.】
【What does that mean?】
【It means a Labyrinth created by a being that no other Concept Divine Seat dares to treat carelessly. Normally, it would be impossible to even touch it like this.】
They had been granted permission. On the surface, they were told not to directly touch Shin Ju-ha, but reading between the lines, Solomon’s order granted them permission to do anything as long as it wasn’t direct.
For Solomon, it meant his successor should grow through trials, but Gaia had no intention of becoming merely a trial.
【At most, the only being capable of subduing that existence is another being whose very existence is incomprehensible. That monkey is all there is.】
【Are you referring to Sun Wukong?】
Sun Wukong was practically the panic button of all Divine Realms. An incomprehensible monster who single-handedly destroyed tens of Divine Realms with ease and composure.
While Lucifer of the Seven Sins—Pride—is praised by most gods when he falls gloriously in battle against tens of Divine Realms, Sun Wukong reigned as an object of terror, effortlessly shattering tens of Divine Realms alone.
Moreover, didn’t Sun Wukong bring down the Heavenly Realm, one of the super-massive Divine Realms, at that time?
He was a being of entirely different caliber.
【So that monkey was indeed at the level of a Concept Divine Seat.】
【Merely at the level of a Concept Divine Seat? That monkey is beyond that. In terms of raw power, it would be an understatement to call him the apex of this universe!!!!】
With those words, all preparations were complete.
【Enough idle talk. Begin. I have not achieved 100% control, but I have seized over 51%—more than half of the dominion.】
【Kekekek. Well done. Now that place shall become that arrogant wretch’s grave!】
Gazing at the entrance to the Bottomless Pit, now a mixture of black and emerald, Zeus issued his command to the gods following him.
As Gaia’s granted causality rapidly depleted, the Divine Seats of the Abyss Realm began seeping into the Bottomless Pit of the Upper Realm without penalty.
Transforming into the floor guardian of a single level that bestowed trials.
