OP Sister Chapter 408: Demon Invasion

Listen While Reading: Clash of Emotions
-----

The World of Bestia couldn’t take a break; right after the Demon King was vanquished, with his soul separated from his body and then revived as the new Song, a new threat emerged.

Or perhaps not quite new, but a being that was the real mastermind behind this invasion of robotic lifeforms over Bestia—a Void Ruler itself!

The Universal Computer was a strange Void Ruler Anna had never read about in the original novel, an entirely new and original character unique to her story.

Its origins, or what it truly was, much like the other Void Rulers, remained a complete mystery.

However, Anna knew that this entity was powerful and incredibly hostile, almost at the same level as the Bleeding Scream.

Not only did it try to dispose of them through a powerful ocular attack, releasing a beam that even aimed at destroying the world’s core, but it also spread countless cracks.

With these cracks, it brought one of Anna’s enemies, a demon she thought was gone back during the Demon Castle Raid, but she realized she was mistaken.

Beelzebub!

For reasons unknown to her, the Universal Computer had struck some kind of deal with the Demons, as Beelzebub was merely the vessel for two other powerful beings.

Two Demonic Beings she had made enemies of—one for killing Ouroboros, the “pet” of Lucifer, the other for healing the chairman of his curse, Mammon.

Although Anna never thought they would go as far as chasing her to another entire world, it seemed her suspicions might be correct, and the Universal Computer was the one behind their arrival.

It had probably been watching her or her world for a while and might have easily connected the dots of what was happening.

Through this, the Void Ruler sought her past enemies, these Demons, and brought them here… Perhaps as long as the Void Ruler could bring them here, the Demons wouldn’t mind fighting Anna to the death.

Beelzebub had his agenda, however, planning to overtake the Demon King’s body and fuse with it the same way he had done with others; he desired to use this new body to ascend into a stronger form.

To become a Demon King himself!

And yet, Anna had already completely destroyed that plan.

Ding!

[You have used the Skill [Divine Demon-Sealing Purgatory Realm] on the [Fifth Demon King of Destruction: Nameless]!]

[You have successfully sealed the [Fifth Demon King of Destruction: Nameless] inside your Purgatory Realm, turning him into a permanent resident of this prison.]

[The [Fifth Demon King of Destruction: Nameless] will now obey every one of your commands.]

[The [Fifth Demon King of Destruction: Nameless] has no name; do you wish to grant him a name?]

[Naming a Demon might increase their power proportional to your own Cosmic and Demonic Powers.]

[You have named the [Fifth Demon King of Destruction] as {Nemesis}!]

[The power of the [Fifth Demon King of Destruction: Nemesis] has greatly increased based on the name you’ve given him!]

[Due to his intelligence being far beneath yours, his loyalty has also increased.]

“So loyalty increases if they’re dumber than me?” Anna wondered. “Is this why the crow, the cat, and that lizard became so friendly with me while the two other knights are still rather cunning?”

Anna realized a part of her Skill that allowed the Demons she sealed to turn into her “friends” possessed a new trait, one that made a lot of sense now.

“The Demon King is now in a state of mindlessness, probably no smarter than an ape…” Anna thought. “Without the soul of Song within him—Ah, right, Song!”

Her train of thought was interrupted as her many converged minds quickly unified on that sole thought. Although the battlefield was chaotic right now, she had to prioritize his safety.

“D-DAMMIT!”

The screams of Beelzebub echoed behind her; despite having grown tremendously strong after becoming the Avatar of Lucifer and Mammon, the demon was unable to overcome the overwhelming power of Nemesis.

The monstrous Demon King continued growing larger, his mismatched, biomechanical body evolving rapidly as he fought, becoming more refined and resembling a giant, muscular, bulky black, red, and white demonic machine.

“WRAAAAHHHH!”

His bird-like head remained, however, though now fully mechanical, with several artificial eyes of crimson and golden light and a crown of horns above it.

Despite how much it had changed, the resemblance to Song or his father was still disturbing to Anna. But now, she doesn’t have time to care about that.

With a ferocious barrage of punches from the Demon King, Beelzebub was covered in deadly wounds across his entire body. His insectoid armor and monstrous, gigantic form seemed to matter little against this overwhelming foe!

“This is ridiculous!” Beelzebub groaned angrily. “How could this happen?! Dammit! She’s becoming too strong and dangerous—wait, where is she?!”

CRAAASH!

Before Beelzebub could begin looking for Anna after realizing he had taken his eyes off her, the Demon King punched his face again, shattering his insectoid exoskeleton armor.

RUMBLE!

“NGAAAGH…!”

The former Throne of Gluttony screamed in agony as he started bleeding from all his wounds; the Demon King smiled back at him as he waved his claws.

And out of nowhere, each wound inflicted on Beelzebub began to blaze! Heavenly Demonic Flames made of Heavenly Ki and Demonic Energy burned through his skin and flesh.

Beelzebub was engulfed in an agonizing inferno!

At the same time, Anna reached the black coffin where Song had been sealed, touching it and using her [Arcane Hands] Skill to rapidly decipher the Magic Spell and its Runes, and then…

“{Absolute Cancel}!”

By letting the spell’s runic structure overflow with her tremendous quantity of Ki, the entire magic unraveled, cracking until…

Crack, crack…!

BOOOM!

It exploded into pieces, disappearing and freeing Song from it; he looked completely fine.

“Anna! Are you alright?” Song ran towards Anna, hugging her.

“Yeah, I’m fine; don’t worry about me!” Anna said. “Are you okay though?! I never thought a spell could hold you back this much!”

“It was a strange spell I couldn’t decipher or understand… I’m sorry; I am still getting used to my powers, and that strength I gained before is gone now; I don’t know how to call it again…!” Song seemed confused about his abilities.

The power to channel the world’s power was limited, not something he could freely use, but only when the world was in danger, not him.

Therefore, he was unable to use it to break the spell on his own. And because the Magic Beelzebub conjured was incredibly powerful and an art he didn’t know about, it took him a while to even begin trying to dispel it.

That’s why Anna had to help him out!

“Well, that was Magic; it is a power from another world—or worlds,” Anna explained to him as the two flew towards Beelzebub. “That Demon uses Magic, Curses, and Necromancy, so be careful! The Demon King is holding him back, but he has gained powers we still have no idea what they can do.”

“So that’s your enemy, sister?!” Song roared angrily. “I’ll help you defeat him once and for all! Our parents, where are they though?”

“Over here!”

“It seems there are more threats than we imagined…”

Suddenly, the two siblings gasped, noticing the figures of the Heavenly Demon and the Heavenly Empress floating above them.

Their enormous Auras materialized their powerful Imperial Armament, which they used to shred the advancing army of Demons that came with Beelzebub into pieces.

Thousands of insect-like abominations, the largest as big as fifty meters in height!

Anna and Song had not realized this army had arrived, as they were too busy fighting its leader.

However, it seemed that Bestia was now not only being invaded by Machines but also by deadly demons.

[The Cosmic Throne {Chaotic King of Brutality} smiles. The Demon Army from Hell Number 120 will consume everything with their ravenous insectoid appetite.]

[The Demonic Throne {The Greed That Consumes Everything} hopes your life and that of those you love are crushed in despair and agony.]

“Ouch, the edge.”

Anna ignored their words as she reunited with her adoptive parents.

“Anna, do you have an idea what in the world is going on here?!”

The Heavenly Demon asked this question as a gigantic six-limbed god of death manifested from his Aura, swinging its palms and crushing dozens of demons at once, releasing explosions of black and red flames.

The demons exploded into pieces, dying en masse. They never imagined there would be two mighty rulers protecting the world, as they usually just ran over everything and consumed it all.

“If I’m not wrong, that giant eye brought these things here, right? So aside from whatever machines remain alive, do we need to fight them? Is this a second invasion?!”

The Heavenly Empress manifested hundreds of gigantic golden weapons from her Aura, materialized using the power of her Heart of Hope Flames, which could take on a gold-like texture and material.

The weapons impaled, shredded, cleaved, sliced, and stabbed and then exploded against any foe they met, spreading explosions of golden light everywhere.

Anna watched as the two Venerables single-handedly stopped an invasion of tens of thousands of giant insectoid demons on their own; their power was enough to protect the world.

As long as no more portals like that one appeared anywhere else, that is.

“It’s complicated!” Anna said, swinging her two Katanas, manifested using the power of her [Mighty Morphin Mechanical Armor: Four Cosmic Golden Beasts of Hope (SSS)] Skill, and sliced through dozens of foes—almost a hundred.

“{Heavenly Myriad Blade Arts}: {Celestial Ascension}!”

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

Hundreds of slashing attacks composed of pure, blinding golden and white light engulfed the demons; dozens died per second—hundreds within ten seconds: two hundred, three hundred, four hundred!

And lastly, the accumulated light manifested into a gigantic cross-shaped attack, which Anna kicked towards the demonic portal, erupting into a massive explosion!

BOOMMM!!!
