After defeating the three headed wolf, I looked into the skies while snacking on its roasted meat, it was rotting before but after roasting it with demonic cosmic flames, it tasted pretty alright.

"More crystals are falling." I said. "Lucifer, can you close that crack with your powers by any chance?"

"Probably? I am not completely sure." She said. "Only if I can fully synchronize with my true body, but for that I need to be within the range of Hell."

"And what's wrong with Hell right now?" I asked.

"It is stationed within Genesis even now. The Laws of that world have been kept chained within Hell for so long it is… "stuck" but I think something can be done around that eventually." Lucifer said. "Though, I am beginning to think that even if I close the cracks, they'll open again."

"Wait, how?" I asked.

"There are many entities controlling them even if you haven't noticed. A spider… And someone else. That being you couldn't defeat that came from the world where you were summoned." Said Lucifer.

"The Demon King… That guy disappeared out of nowhere. I do know his castle floated into the skies. Did he have some sort of deal with that damned spider?" I wondered. "Now that Hel's dead, shouldn't that spider have had nowhere to go? Yet I haven't found her at all."

"She possesses a rare power, once she was revived as an Undead Goddess… She awakened a Trait." Said Lucifer.

"That's bullshit, her, a trait?!" I asked.

"I know how ridiculous it is, but that's what happened." Lucifer said. "She can weave through the fabric of space and create permanent portals, these cracks are her art. She's the ideal tool for the Usurpers of Destiny, your sisters."

"How much do you know about them?" I asked her, looking at her into the eyes as I carved out a giant crystal from the monster's corpse. Its soul was already eaten by me. "Oh, what's this?"

-----

[Vampiric Demonic Beast Core (Rank 6)]

The Core and Heart of Vampiric Demonic Beasts, it fuels their bodies with Blood Essence and rich Mana. This giant crystal can be used for a variety of things, such as absorbing it for Blood Essence of high quality, to turn its dust into Blood Potions, or to use as materials to craft arrays, accessories, armor, or weapons.

"Interesting, so the Spirit Plane had their Spiritual Hearts and in here they got Blood Cores or whatever, huh?" I wondered, rubbing my chin.

"Yes, I do know about them to an extent… But it's not like I've kept that a secret from you, Kireina. You just learned about them recently, if you hadn't fought Nirvana, you would have probably never truly learned yet." Sighed Lucifer.

"I'm not blaming you for anything." I shrugged. "Nirvana was a nice way to learn about these things, and he was an excellent meal too. Budha and the other Constellations… I learned a LOT from him. I owe him so much. But he's already in my belly, pfff hahaha!"

"You sure are quite vile sometimes." Lucifer laughed out loud with me. "Oh, looks like we got company."

"Really? I was thinking on preparing a nice meal for my family recovering inside my World Realm." I smiled, noticing a huge wave of hundreds of silhouettes emerging from the giant crimson trees.

RUMBLE!

"Roooaarr!"

"Shaaaah!"

"Gryshaaah!"

It was a buffet of hundreds of Vampiric Demonic beasts, the endemic "divine beasts" of Abyss. Maybe there were normal creatures before, but since the Vampires took over and called the world Abyss, this is probably the only monsters we'll see for a while. Oh, and Undead most likely.

There was a buffet of Giant Blood Bats, Shadow Stalking Cannibal Jackals, Living Shades, Aberrant Patchwork Zombie Giants, Blood Thralls, and one of the more interesting ones, a gigantic walking tree. I think that's a King, right?

[The rich essence you release from your body has attracted the attention of a Vampiric Demonic Beast Horde and the [Blood Sucking Vampire Elder Treant (World Devourer Realm: Tier 7)], one of the ten kings of the Forest.]

"GROOOHHHH!"

While the trees themselves were roughly a kilometer tall, yes, this was the sheer magnitude of things around here, the Treant over here was roughly half of that at five hundred meters. It was a true behemoth, so strong and big it pushed away even other beasts on its way.

I noticed all of them were drooling at me too, did I look that tasty on their eyes? Gosh, you perverts! Contain your gazes!

"I can't believe that wherever you go, there's always trouble." Laughed Lucifer. "Do you need a hand?"

"Well, if you want to help." I shrugged. "Take care of the left side. Mammon, Aquamarine, let's take care of the rest!"

"Alright! I also want to absorb some of these monsters' souls, they seem quite tasty." Mammon licked his lips.

"Okay mama!" Aquamarine swiftly transformed into a giant and majestic lion, unleashing a tsunami of spiritual oceans.

SPLAAASH!

The oceanic water not only stopped them, but it swiftly transformed, turning into several gigantic sea snakes made of ice, hissing at the vampiric demonic beasts and attacking them. Dozens of them started dying as they were massacred by the power of the Ocean Tear.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

At the same time, I leaped off into the skies, flapping my wings rapidly and landing on the Elder Treant's head with Mammon transformed into his axe form, his skills activated, transforming my appearance and covering my body with an armor of demonic flames, which I further boosted by fusing it with my combined Authorities.

"[Ultimate Infernal Greed Axe Arts]: [Hell-Splitting Slash]!"

SLAAAASH!

A pure slash of demonic flames cut through the Treant, slicing the gigantic wooden monster into two perfect charred halves, collapsing on the floor with a loud thud. The rest of the forest quickly caught the deadly flames, covering everything on utter chaos.

The beasts that had come to eat me couldn't even get closer, Aquamarine was sweeping them around with all his improved abilities, and Lucifer was having fun trapping monsters inside tiny pocket dimensions.

"Well so much for Kings, these guys can't even take a single hit?" I wondered.

"Maybe you're too strong Kireina…" Sighed Mammon.

"Hahaha! I guess!" As I laughed, I noticed other, different presences though. "Oh? Now things are getting interesting."
