Inside a very eerie and dark palace.

A girl was hugging a human-sized pillow with a very familiar image of a person with a silver-hair drawn on it. She has similar silver hair, though each of her eyes was different in colors. Red and Blue.

She was frowning and seems to be in bad mood.

At this moment, a skeleton came out from the ground, carrying a tray of snacks. However, “Get lost!” A chilling gust appeared and the skeleton instantly turned into a Popsicle!

“Damn that woman!” She gritted her teeth. Her eyes glared in intense an anger and frustration!

“Hmph, as if you can just make use of him, then try! Let’s see if you can do that!”

The girl turned her head and looked at the mirror. The mirror has a very exotic design as if it was framed using bones and skulls of human or others kind of creatures. It gives off a very menacing aura. There was even a human-sized skull at the top of the mirror.

“Show him to me…” The girl’s frowning expression softened.

“As you wish… your majesty,” The skull’s eye sockets shone in a red light and a voice rang out. Following was the image reflected in the mirror changed. Showing the figure of a familiar man with silver hair.

“Come, husband… Paradiso is just the starting point…” Seeing the image, a gentle smile flashed across her face.

… …

… …

Allen looked down from the balcony at the newly repaired building inside the PAGASA Military Command Center.

After parting with Lilith who said that she was going to stroll around the world, Allen didn’t return to Italica and instead returned towards the Philippines.

Allen didn’t want to return to Italica and show his appearance to Mia and the others or else they would surely worry – Though the greatest reason was that, Ciel was there. It would be uncool to let that little girl become worried… she might cry if she saw his wounds.

Sara and the other almost turned crazy when they saw Allen’s appearance.

His body filled with wounds and holes and even blood was still dripping from them. Aside from Mireya who was a returnee and Aileen who had once seen him after his fight with Alkrasha during the School Arc, this was the first time Sara and Jayla saw Allen suffering fatal wounds in a battle.

Although, he seems to be really okay since he was moving around nonchalantly, but just seeing his body could really make people pale instantly!

Even Alkrasha couldn’t help but feel worried for him.

The Holy Spear’s curse was really troublesome for Demons like Allen. And the grave wounds that can make any human die instantly littered his body.

After being treated by Jayla and the others, Allen’s current body was filled with thick bandages.

… …

… …

Damn it.

I had become so strong that I can even rival all of the Monster Kings in this world…

No one can defeat me in this world anymore… and because of that, I had become complacent…

Allen traced the huge cut wound from his right shoulder to his left waist. It was still a bit painful.

Indeed, If I don’t have the advantage over the Law as well as the items I have in me… I might have lost to Azazel… Damn that bastard… He hit so hard and his defense outclasses mine who had the body of the Dragon race…

[ Envy Empowerment ] was activated!

A prompt suddenly appeared in front of Allen.

Seeing this, he couldn’t help but shook his head. Envy… huh.

I always thought this ability is useless to me since I don’t have anything to envy for but who knows I actually felt that way…

Beelzebub…

Mammon…

If what Lilith said was true, they also escape from hell and joined Virgil… this is certainly not looking good.

If they come, Mia and the others would certainly be outmatched.

Asmodeus would be my best bet. I just hope she would honor our relationship before….

I need to do everything I needed to do in this world as soon as possible and then head up to Paradiso. I can’t just sit here doing nothing…

If I want to win and survive, I need to get even stronger.

Allen stared at his hands. Blue flames appeared, dancing beautifully.

Crackle! Golden electric sparks appeared, coiling around the blue flames.

Staring at it, Allen’s eyes narrowed. I will be the one to absorb him…

I am the real one…

At this moment, Mireya suddenly walked into the room and saw a silhouette standing on the balcony. Hm?

The sunlight shone on his silver hair and an indescribable feeling swept through her heart. She stood completely still for a long while, watching him.

He looked so beautiful as if he was graced by a halo but for some reason, it gives off an impression of a sad color. It’s as if he would slowly fade into thin air and disappear.

Allen seemed to have noticed her and turned around. He looked at her and smiled gently.

However, Mireya felt a pain in her chest. What was he thinking about? What made him smile like that?

Although he was smiling, Mireya felt like he was standing in the winter snow, waiting for spring to come and the birds to sing. Feeling these strange emotions, Mireya’s mind trembled and she couldn’t help but slowly hugged him and stuck her face against his chest.

“How are your injuries?”

“They’re better…”

“That’s good… then, what are you thinking about?”

“No, nothing…” Allen shook his head.

“Husband, are you hiding something?”

Allen shook his head again as he gently strokes her hair. “No, I’m not…”

“Liar! You’re hiding something, right? Just tell me. I am your lover right?” Mireya said firmly.

“I have the right to know… and you have an obligation to tell me…”

“Err…” Allen tussled his hair while wearing a wry smile. He considered for a moment before sighing, “Fine.”

“Actually, Um, I’m thinking of going to the land of the Gods and visit Paradiso as soon as possible…” Allen started. “I think it should be after I take back [ Living Weapon ]…”

"... ..."

“And I planned to go there alone…”

Mireya’s arms tightened and her body slightly trembled.

Allen didn’t overlook it and embraced her back.

He continued, “From what I had heard, that place seems to be a bit dangerous right now, so…”

“… …”

“… I can’t bring you along with me… at least not for now…” Although he had decided this before but after fighting Azazel… this decision was strengthened.

No matter what happens, he can’t bring them along with him. At least, not on this first trip!

Just how chaotic was the Celestial Realm right now...?

The power in the God Realm is just too beyond the people in this world…

“I will create a way for all of you to become even stronger than you are now. The powers and treasures in the God Realm are miles away from what we can find in this world… it will certainly help all of you level up!”
