293. Becoming a Demon!

293. Becoming a Demon!

"Bollocks!"

A chill ran down Constantine's spine as he looked at the terrifying shadow in the darkness. He no longer had any desire to spectate, and the cigarette in his hand had disappeared without him even noticing.

The black mist was gradually dissipating—or rather, it was being consumed by the massive creature's body. As the mist thinned, Constantine could clearly see that the enormous figure was covered in thick scales, gleaming in the ghostly remnants of the fire.

The bat-like wings had turned into pitch-black shadows, resembling an ancient demon that invoked a primal fear ingrained deep within human genes. Its thick, tree-trunk-sized arms were covered in clusters of fleshy bumps, connected by scarlet veins, oozing a viscous liquid.

A foul stench filled the air. Constantine swallowed hard. It was the first time he had ever witnessed the Seven Deadly Sins fusing together, and it seemed they had merged with something else inside Alex's body, transforming into an even more terrifying being.

At this point, Alex could no longer be called human. His form looked like the stuff of nightmares—a combination of all the most terrifying creatures molded into one, a truly frightening sight.

Silently, Constantine pulled a teleportation card from his pocket, ready to escape at the first sign of trouble.

At the same time, feeling the overwhelming power emanating from Alex's body, Constantine couldn't help but entertain the thought, 'Maybe I should just teleport this guy to Darkseid and let them fight it out. Whoever dies, it's their bad luck.'

But as he quietly watched the evil aura radiating from Alex—a malevolent energy so strong that even a normal person could see it with the naked eye—Constantine realized that without proper preparation, there was no way his current methods could expel such a terrifying creature.

The two stood in silence, Alex's enormous form crouched in place, with his back turned to Constantine, obscuring his face. Constantine didn't dare make a move, and the two were locked in a tense standoff.

Alex's body continued to exhale clouds of mist, and after what felt like an eternity, Constantine couldn't stand the silence any longer and finally broke it.

"...Hey, you alright?"

At the sound of Constantine's voice, the giant figure responded.

Alex's demonic body trembled violently, and at the same time, a fleshy tumor on his shoulder opened its eyes.

An overwhelming pressure descended upon Constantine, and a strange phrase suddenly appeared in his mind—"You have disturbed the witch!"

But the next moment, Constantine snapped out of it, drenched in cold sweat. He realized it was mental corruption, the bizarre power strong demons used to control their followers and minions.

Alex had never made a secret of his ability to devour others. After all, he was a dark wizard by nature, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with the way he gained power.

"So, can you turn back? No offense, you look very impressive, but I'm British," Constantine said.

"Ahem, alright."

As Alex spoke, his massive body began shrinking at a visible speed.

The scales on his terrifying wings quickly fell off, disintegrating into ash that disappeared in the air. The wings reverted to mere bones and retracted into Alex's back. The exoskeleton, which seemed to be made of metal, rapidly merged back under his skin, and his sharp claws returned to their normal form.

Alex's black hair swayed lightly, and the extra pair of arms dissolved into black matter, transforming into the coat he had worn earlier. His dark purple skin faded back to a human-like flesh tone, and the countless twisted tentacles slithered back under his trench coat.

In less than five seconds, Alex had gone from a fearsome demon back to his previous human appearance.

Elegantly placing his hat back on his head, Alex smiled slightly.

"Well, how do I look?" he asked.

Constantine stared at Alex for a moment, then quickly nodded.

"Not bad. Now I have full confidence in our plan."

"You trust me that much? Aren't you worried that I might be controlled by the demon inside me and do something... regrettable?" Alex asked, crossing his arms and smiling as he watched Constantine.

"We've already fallen into darkness like never before, Mr. Crow," Constantine sighed, but then a smug smile returned to his face.

"The darkness at the end of the world."
