Outside the alternate dimension, a group of mages dressed in black robes were waiting.
And standing in front of them were two people.
They were Katerreya and Kruzelei.
Katerreya was currently playing with a stone in her hand.
Kruzelei looked at the barrier in front of him with a serious expression, then turned to Katerreya and asked,
"Katerreya, can this stone stop time?"
"Of course, this is the Stone of Erosion. Once crushed, it can suspend time within the alternate dimension. This is a very rare item."
Originally, everyone wanted to control the little vampire with the 'Stop the World's Evil Eye,' but unfortunately, he had also been taken to the conference room.
Otherwise, she would never have taken out the Stone of Erosion.
Kruzelei nodded, looking at Katerreya.
"Alright, can you handle it alone?"
"Of course, don't worry."
"Katerreya, don't die, or I won't avenge you."
...
Inside the conference room, with the promotion of peace,
everyone had resolved their inner conflicts.
Michael also apologized for declaring Asia a heretic, and likewise, because of Raynare, Azazel's compensation, that old guy, now included two more Divine Artifacts.
Azazel now owed Abel twelve artificial Divine Artifacts.
Suddenly, Abel sensed something.
At the same time, those who possessed Divine Artifacts and Holy Swords found their Divine Artifacts activating autonomously, appearing in their hands.
For members with Abel's Kings blessing, the Kings blessing also activated automatically at this moment.
Aside from the people inside the conference room, everyone else had their time suspended.
For Abel, who possessed the power of space-time, this was somewhat unexpected.
After all, in the original work, time was stopped by Gaspar. Now, he wondered what those guys used to stop time.
"Ti...Time has stopped?"
"It seems so."
"..."
"Senior! That... I didn't do it."
Everyone was discussing, while Gaspar anxiously stated it had nothing to do with him, as among the members present, besides Abel, he was the only one with the ability to stop time.
"Alright, Gaspar, relax. No one said you did it."
"That's right, Gaspar, don't be so nervous."
"Mm."
Unlike their focus, however,
Michael and Azazel curiously observed the abilities of the Kings blessing on them.
"What a truly unique ability, Lord Abel."
Suddenly, the ground shook violently.
The conference room's defensive magic array suddenly activated,
withstanding the attacks from outside.
Everyone pulled back the curtains.
They saw countless mages in black robes appearing upside down from the magic array.
Their hats bore a three-eyed symbol.
Countless lasers shot towards the conference room, but they were all blocked by the defensive magic array. Similarly, the guard teams of the three factions outside were struck and vanished from their original positions.
As the explosions continued,
the magic arrays shattered one by one.
"Abel, I'm counting on you."
"Relax, Big Brother Sirzechs."
Saying that, Abel raised his hand, and the power of space-time surged within him.
A magic array inscribed with an hourglass appeared.
As he snapped his fingers, the previously suspended time began to flow.
"Enemy attack! Begin counterattack!!"
"For Lord Demon King!"
"For Lord Michael!"
"For Lord Azazel!"
The guard team, recovering from the time stop, reacted instantly and then charged towards the mages.
After all, being time-stopped once was already unacceptable.
Not being able to counterattack after that would truly be unacceptable.
The guard team clashed with the mages at this moment, and then the soldiers of the Demon King faction appeared one after another, all joining the battle.
Suddenly, a magic array appeared on the ground.
"Greetings, current Demon King Sirzechs, and Serafall."
A dark-skinned female devil wearing glasses appeared.
She was Katerreya Leviathan.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Serafall was somewhat surprised.
"Why are you here?!"
Katerreya ignored her and directly raised her staff high.
"Grant the world destruction and chaos!"
As Katerreya's words fell, a golden energy wave exploded in the center of the conference room.
This energy contained powerful destructive force, turning the conference room into ashes in an instant.
As the smoke and dust dispersed,
a blue barrier enveloped everyone. This was a barrier created by Abel alone.
"Well, I thought I'd get to see the three faction leaders awkwardly activating their defensive barriers. It's a bit of a shame."
Katerreya looked at the scene before her with slight disappointment.
At the same time, her eyes held vigilance, as a single person being able to withstand her close-range attack meant that this child was probably no ordinary individual.
"Big Brother Sirzechs, do you need help?"
"No need, this is our own affair from back then. You've already helped once; this time, we'll handle it ourselves."
"Alright."
Seeing Sirzechs refuse, Abel nodded.
Then his gaze fell on Vali.
This guy and Issei were the protagonists tonight.
Sirzechs looked at Katerreya in the sky.
"What do you want, Katerreya?"
"I just want to do the opposite of what you do. Since God and the Demon King are no longer here, this world should be reformed!"
As Katerreya's words fell,
everyone chuckled.
Azazel patted his chest: "Seriously, you scared me into thinking I was getting involved in your internal strife.
So your goal is the world itself."
"Exactly."
Katerreya nodded and continued: "In this world without God and the Demon King, we will recreate this world and begin a revolution."
As her words fell, Azazel couldn't help but laugh.
"What an old-fashioned rhetoric."
"Reform? It's probably just to satisfy your own desires."
Katerreya's expression was as if her fig leaf had been ripped off, and then she looked at Azazel as if he were already dead.
The orange demonic energy around her began to surge.
Watching this, Azazel said with a laugh,
"Hahaha, it seems I hit a nerve."
"Sirzechs, Michael, is it okay if I handle this woman?"
Saying that, Azazel put away his playful expression.
His aura emanated as he walked towards Katerreya.
Azazel spread his twelve wings, a smirk on his lips.
"Descendant of the Demon King faction, once a genius, as an opponent you are qualified, so how about we have a life-and-death battle?"
"Just a mere Fallen Angel Governor!"
Both erupted with powerful auras.
The mages fighting nearby were completely caught in the crossfire. The guards of the three factions, seeing the situation was not right, had already disappeared at Azazel's prompt.
So the mages were truly just cannon fodder; they died and that was that.
"What a shame."
Looking at the mages who died without a complete corpse, Abel shook his head regretfully.
After all, he didn't kill them.
So it was a bit of a waste.
