Chapter 407: The Void Ruler’s Army
-----
“HAAAAHHH!”
Anna didn’t even need to say anything; she pushed up with all her strength, and so did her adoptive family.
RUMBLE!
The skies began to tremble as the gigantic shield started flying upwards against all odds!
“…?!”
The Eye began to rapidly gain cracks, as sparkles of electricity erupted from them.
The Void Ruler was left…
Utterly speechless!
In that moment, Anna’s mind connected with everyone.
“Let’s combine our power! Infuse it into the shield! NOW!”
They nodded immediately as Anna smiled.
“Take your shit back!”
With a vulgar scream, Anna activated her shield’s trump card.
“{Divine Heavenly Harmony Dragon’s Breath}!”
The gigantic head of a Chinese dragon manifested, made of black and golden light, unleashing a devastating and massive breath attack, using all the damage and power it absorbed into the shield and firing it back.
The beam impacted the Void Ruler’s laser, growing stronger and larger the more damage it received, until ultimately, it overwhelmed even the attack from the Universal Computer and…
BOOOMMM!!!
It hit its artificial eye, blowing it into pieces.

The monstrosity screamed in agony, releasing such a loud, glitchy, and artificial sound that most living beings felt their eardrums bursting.
FLUOSH!
As they looked at the sky while gasping for air, filled with disbelief at what they were able to do, the seas beneath splashed, creating a huge tremor.
The oceans rapidly began filling up the massive hole they had created, which barely avoided reaching the core of the planet, or they would’ve been doomed!
“Haaahh… Haahh… W-We did it…!” Anna muttered. “We were able to fend that thing off for a moment!”
“A moment?” asked the Heavenly Empress.
“It’s obviously coming back! Look! The cracks are spreading everywhere!” Anna said. “We have to quickly…!”
She glared at the Demon King’s sealed body; it was floating in midair.
She needed to secure it immediately; it might be the key to winning against the incoming invasion.
Whatever that giant computer was preparing, it would surely be nasty.
“We have to secure the Demon King’s body!”
“Right! Let’s hurry then!”
The Heavenly Demon agreed, nodding after her words.
The entire group rushed towards the Demon King, suddenly noticing the cracks spread even further, extending across thousands of kilometers.
And then appearing right on the opposite side of the Demon King’s body.
Crack, crack…!
CRASH!
A massive crack opened, resembling the Gates that Anna always saw on Earth.
However, this one was black and purple with red flames, exuding…
A tremendous quantity of pure Demonic Energy of the highest and foulest power!
“W-Wha…?!”
The demonic presences rapidly materialized as a pair of gigantic, long, black insectoid claws started to tear through the fabric of space, opening the gate even wider.
And from within, a massive insectoid demon emerged, with huge red eyes, resembling a humanoid fly covered in black armor, and with a gigantic pair of black-and-purple wings.
Surrounding him was a massive demonic aura shaped like thousands of flies!
“We meet once more, Anna!”
“What the fuck…? Beelzebub?!”
Anna couldn’t believe it; of all things, now Demons were coming here, and Beelzebub of all beings!
But why him? And what the hell was going on anymore?
Did that computer ally with the demons?
Why would they even do that to begin with?
“No… I don’t have time for this shit!”
She rushed towards the Demon King’s body, but Beelzebub was much closer; his giant jaws smiled as his claws were about to reach it.
“THIS BODY SHALL BECOME MINE! I WILL BE REBORN AS A TRUE DEMON KING!”
“IN YOUR DREAMS!”
Anna’s Myriad Self Aura expanded for several kilometers, generating countless hands at once; this was her early technique {Divine Hands of Nirvana}!
CLAAASH!
A second before Beelzebub’s wretched aura could reach the Demon King’s body, her hands did so, dragging the gigantic body towards her in an instant.
“W-WAIT! HEY!”
Beelzebub was shocked at what Anna had done! He certainly didn’t remember her having such power at all.
What’s worse, her Aura was so huge he started to rethink his decisions right now…
As Anna dragged the Demon King towards her while Beelzebub furiously chased her, several messages suddenly popped up.
[The Cosmic Throne {Chaotic King of Brutality} says that you don’t have to worry about anything, Beelzebub.]
[The Demonic Throne {The Greed That Consumes Everything} smiles, saying that you will become the recipient of their power, and more.]
“You’re kidding me?!”
Anna gasped as she saw these notifications.
Not only was a Void Ruler involved, but somehow two of the strongest Demonic Constellations were also getting involved?!
“Lucifer…?! The King of all Demons!”
And…
“Mammon, the Archdemon of Greed!”
These two foes had a great grudge against Anna after all.
Lucifer hated her because she killed his pet, Uroboros.
And Mammon hated her because she expelled his demonic influence and curse from the chairman.
Somehow, behind the scenes, they forged a bizarre alliance with the Universal Computer, allowing them to come along as she broke through the dimensional walls.
And Beelzebub here, whom Anna had thought was dead, was actually alive all this time.
And came back even stronger, with a much more powerful demonic body than ever before.
“HEH!”
Beelzebub smiled.
“That’s right! Then give me all your power, you two bastards! If you want me to work efficiently, we have to even the ground!”
FLUOSH!
Anna watched as two different streams of cosmic demonic power rushed down towards Beelzebub, fueling his body with new strength.
He was receiving a double demonic sponsorship!
“Bastard…!”
Anna didn’t have time to waste, quickly touching the Demon King, who was still sealed, in the perfect state for her to do something very special to him.
“Alright, it’s now or never… This better freaking work!”
She infused her powers into the Demon King as she rapidly activated a skill that turned the white chains around him black, demonic power overflowing from him.
FLUOSH!
“I don’t know what you’re trying to do, Anna, but you’re going down now!”
Beelzebub grew ten times his original size, becoming gigantic and muscular! He gained three pairs of wings and several more muscular, insectoid arms.
He exuded a cosmic demonic aura, akin to a constellation himself!
After being sponsored by two of the strongest demonic constellations, it was obvious he would gain power equal to a weaker demonic constellation.
“Anna! Who is that guy?!”
Song asked her that question as he noticed two more purple-and-red cracks spread into the distance; portals seemed to be slowly forming from them.
“A Demon from another world! A very bad one that did a lot of damage to my own world… Somehow he came all the way here!”
“What?!”
“I am just as speechless…!”
“RAAAAHHH!”
Beelzebub reached them in that moment, his six gigantic claws rushing down as he was covered in demonic cosmic flames.
“I won’t let you touch her!”
Song rushed forward, clashing against Beelzebub with his powerful claws, intercepting his blows while spreading his wings and firing feather projectiles at him.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
“Tch, quite strong, aren’t you?!”
Beelzebub gritted his jaws in anger as he realized Anna had made yet another powerful friend.
“But not enough.”
He smiled viciously as his aura spread into hundreds of giant ten-meter-long flies, swarming Song’s entire body.
“Uuaaggh!”
As Song panicked, Beelzebub waved his hand upwards and downwards, conjuring a powerful demonic spell.
“{Purgatory Coffin}!”
TRUUUMM!!!
All the flies swarming Song merged into a giant black coffin, sealing the boy inside; his entire power was suppressed, and his aura was being devoured by Beelzebub’s powers.
“Thank you for the meal, hahaha!”
“SONG!”
Anna panicked, looking at the Demon King.
“Come on, come on, come on!”
As she infused everything she had, the Demon King’s will…
Was unable to overcome her own.
FLAAASH!
Out of nowhere, his body was swallowed by a purple and red portal.
And then, his entire body began to glow as he appeared within the Purgatory.
The seals fused into his body, empowering him even further.
At the same time, a permanent bond formed between the Demon King and Anna.
“WHERE DID YOU BRING MY NEW BODY?! GIVE IT BACK TO ME! THEY PROMISED I WOULD BECOME A DEMON KING! GIVE IT BACK, BRAT!”
Beelzebub appeared above Anna, his power thousands of times what he once had!
He swung his giant black claws against Anna.
And yet… she smiled confidently.
“Demon King of Destruction. I order you! Protect me.”
RUMBLE!
“GUH?!”
Beelzebub felt his entire insectoid head being flattened as a massive black mechanical arm punched him away, leaving behind a gigantic explosion of cosmic demonic energy, which turned into flames that engulfed him.
BOOOMMM!!!
Anna smiled with confidence as Beelzebub’s eyes filled with disbelief. Even after everything, he was unable to secure it before her.
“I-IMPOSSIBLE! YOU…?! YOU SOMEHOW…! WHAT?!”
The Demon was left dumbfounded; Anna had placed the Demon King inside her Purgatory Realm, managing to turn him into one of her “friends”!
When she brought him back, he was already obeying all her commands.
At the same time, Anna saw the notifications appear by her side.
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.]
“He’s my friend now,” Anna smiled. “His name’s Nemesis.”
Against all odds, Anna had secured a tremendously strong new ally!
