Chapter 437: True Salvation (End)...

[Kuoh Church, Kuoh Town] 

"This is getting out of hand! I am going out there to look" Xenovia exclaimed as she shot up from her seat. Irina simply grimaced after hearing her friend's words. They have been ordered to stay inside the Church until the problem with the Devils' cooperation is solved. 

Even Irina wasn't happy with the decision. She simply couldn't understand why they would have to wait for the permission of the Devils. The Devils would obviously try to obstruct their mission since Excaliburs were their natural enemies. Now, Irina was pretty sure that the Devils were somehow involved in the theft. 

"Ok… let's go outside and take a look around the city. They said we couldn't operate in this town but that doesn't mean that we can't look around…" Irina pointed out Xenovia gave her a stiff nod. Both of them quickly pulled on their huge cloaks and left with their Excaliburs…

[Unknown Location, Underworld] 

"I have heard very disturbing news from our little rat" a tall bespectacled woman with a voluptuous figure spoke in a condescending tone. She had tan skin with long brown hair tied into a bun with a headset and she had blue-grey eyes. 

She wore an extremely low-cut dress and it had a high slit which exposed a large portion of her breasts. Her breasts were really close to spilling out of her dress, the dress was under a lot of stress. The woman's name was Katerea Leviathan.

She is one of the three leaders of the Old Satan Faction. She is a descendant of the original Satan Leviathan (Obviously no connection with the Leviathan of Destruction except the name). Just like the other leaders of the Old Satan Faction, she hated the current Satans, believing that they were defiling the name of Satan itself.

Just like her ancestors, Katerea desired world domination, not contending with just ruling over the Underworld. Katerea sought to destroy the world by causing chaos and destruction in order to rebuild it into a new world under the rule of herself and the other original Satan descendants with the administration meant to create a new world where the system, laws and doctrine suit the ideology of the Old Satans. 

"Ho…? So what did the rat tell you?" A good looking man wearing the clothes of a noble asked with a sneer on his face. His clothes were black with dark red belts and motifs. He also had a cape behind his back. 

The man had black hair tied up in a small ponytail and violet eyes. He also had pointy ears and pale skin. The man's name was Creuserey Asmodeus. He is also one of the three leaders of the Old Satan Faction. He is a descendant of the original Satan Asmodeus.

Creuserey hated the current Satans, believing that they were defiling the name of Satan. He also believed that he is the rightful ruler of the Underworld, calling himself a 'True Satan', and the current Satans stole that right from him. 

He is also immensely arrogant and delusional. Just like Katerea Leviathan, he wanted to destroy the current world and then rebuild it into his own image. He strongly believed that his heritage as Asmodeus' True descendant makes him superior to everything. 

"A random woman named Hela has taken over the Devils. Do you know what's even better? ...She is not even a Devil" Katerea Leviathan finished and power surged through the room and the second man inside the room destroyed the table when his fist slammed on the table. 

"What?!!" The second man inside the room asked in a dangerous tone. He was a handsome man dressed in black armour with a cape. He had long brown hair that goes to his hips with many bangs covering his right eye.

(Image Here) 

The man's name is Shalba Beelzebub. He is the last leader of the Old Satan Faction. He was a descendant of the original Satan Beelzebub. Just like the other leaders of the Old Satan Faction, Katerea Leviathan and Creuserey Asmodeus, he wanted to destroy the whole world and recreate it in his own image. 

"How much disgrace must we withstand?" Creuserey Asmodeus whispered. His voice filled with a lot of hatred. 

"That is what I wanted to ask… just like always, Lucifer is completely useless. He is still playing his games" Katerea Leviathan spat out in disgust and Shalba Beelzebub could only shake his head. His eyes burning with hatred. 

He opened his palm and purple infinity sign. The sign was made up of two purple snakes eating each other's tails making an infinity. This was the mark of Ophis, the Ouroboros Dragon or the Infinite Dragon God. An existence even the Biblical Go was scared of.

When used the mark gave them a massive power boost. Katerea Leviathan, Creuserey Asmodeus, and Shalba Beelzebub were a part of a group called the Khaos Brigade. Ophis had created the group to defeat the Great Red but the group had no intentions of fulfilling Ophis's dream. They were simply using her for their own means. 

"We couldn't depend on him anymore… we need to do something on our own" Shalba Beelzebub said and clenched his fists tightly. Shalba turned towards Katerea Leviathan and the Creuserey Asmodeus. 

"We need to send them a message… the day Kokabiel attacks, we will also attack. Let's kill the little sisters of those fakers!!" Shalba Beelzebub said and both Katerea Leviathan and Creuserey Asmodeus nodded their heads with an excited glint in their eyes. 

They were finally going to come out in the open and declare war on the current Satan Faction and they would be doing that by killing off the sisters of those fakers. What better way to start a War and reclaim their former glory?? 

[Vatican] 

"Now, what should I do with the lot of you?" Hela questioned with a maniacal grin on her face. Hela slowly started to walk towards the exorcists and they simply cowered back in fear. Someone finally gathered the courage to do something and pulled out his gun. 

The man pulled the gun's trigger. The bullet simply bounced off Hela's face. Hela's expression didn't change in the slightest and grabbed the first Exorcist and she ripped off the man's head. The Exorcists shrieked in fear and started to attack Hela erratically and simply ripped them with her bare hands. 

Several Exorcists finally started to shoot at Hela with some sort of holy chants but once the bullets kept bouncing off her skin. "Argh!!" A man exclaimed loudly and attacked Hela in a blind rage. Hela decided to entertain the man for a few seconds until she grew bored and she decided to kill him. 

Her hand went through the man's chest like she was cutting through butter. Hela pulled out the man's chest and smashed it on the man's chest. Hela finally staggered back when a woman was able to stab Hela in her left eye. 

Hela's lips twitched and she grabbed the woman and ripped apart the woman right from the middle, spilling her organs on the ground. Hela grabbed the sword still sticking out her eye socket and pulled it out like nothing happened. Hela's eyes started to grow back at the visible rate making the remaining Exorcists despair in the face of Death. 

Ewald Cristaldi finally pulled himself out of the rubble. He saw how Hela was butchering and he almost emptied his stomach. Nobody deserves to die like that. His eyes landed on Vasco Strada and Griselda Quarta. Most of his ribs were broken, he spat out some blood but he still stood up. He made his way towards the Vasco Strada. 

Ewald Cristaldi leaned down and smacked his old friend. Vasco Strada gasped as he woke up and started to look around. Ewald Cristaldi grabbed his friend's shoulder. "You need to take away the rest… I will buy you time. We can't allow Dulio, Griselda, or Touji to fall here" Ewald Cristaldi said in a solemn tone. 

Vasco Strada wanted to protest but he saw their situation. There was no way they could even scratch that monster. "I will miss you old friend" Vasco Strada said but he couldn't look into his friend's eyes. 

"You need to be quick… I don't know how long I would be able to distract her… save as many as you can" Ewald Cristaldi said and Vasco Strada could only nod his head. 

Ewald Cristaldi raised his sword and attacked Hela with a determined look on his face. Hela was quite surprised to see the man. "Ho… you are still able to fight… quite commendable…" Hela praised and she noticed another one of the stronger ones was gathering the ones who were still alive. 

'They are probably trying to run away… should I allow them to leave?' Hela questioned herself and moments later, she decided to let them leave. She wasn't satisfied with the massacre but crushing someone's hope before crushing their skulls was much more fun. 

If she allowed them to leave then they would prepare and put up a better fight tomorrow. Killing all of them at that time would be much more fun. Hela decided to entertain the injured man until the other's ran away. She kept casually dodging the man's attacks. 

Finally, the others activated the teleportation circle and teleported away. Ewald Cristaldi felt something amiss when he noticed that Hela wasn't bothered by the disappearance of the others. Before he could even ask anything, pain seared through his whole body as he found his right arm in Hela's hand. 

Hela tossed away the hand and smirked. "Did you think I didn't notice their plan of getting away?" Hela questioned and Ewald Cristaldi couldn't understand why the monster would allow the others to leave. 

"It's simple… now they would lick their wounds while planning revenge. They would train and plan and come to take revenge fully prepared… I will simply crush their will before crushing their skulls under my heels… Isn't that poetic?" Hela questioned as she leaned in front of Ewald Cristaldi. 

'Monster!! She is a demon!!' Ewald Cristaldi thought and Hela placed her hands on his scalp and chin. "Too bad… you won't be alive to see that" Hela said, sounding almost disappointed and started to put pressure on Ewald Cristaldi's skull. 

"Urrghhh!!" Ewald Cristaldi couldn't scream as his jaw was closed shut due to Hela putting pressure on his skull. Moments later, he registered a few cracks before his head popped like a watermelon…
