C328

Thud, thud-.

Magic rumbled and echoed beneath their feet. Raguel mumbled in front of a building filled with blue light.

"We really messed up."

A power so vast that a single person couldn't control it.

It wasn't surprising.

After all, this phenomenon wasn't caused by a Player's abilities.

'The Heavenly King has control over the Teleportation Gate authorization.'

Around him, the Angels who guarded the gate lay fallen as Raguel observed the Teleportation Gate.

'If the balance is already tipping in one direction...'

Thud, thud-.

The gate started changing to a reddish hue.

'It's better to stick with the tipped side.'

[The Teleportation Gate has been activated]

The room filled with magic up to the ceiling. YuWon had already provided the coordinates for the Teleportation Gate.

Though Raguel hesitated for a moment upon hearing the coordinates, he couldn't simply ignore them.

If what YuWon said was true.

He, who had manipulated the Great Heaven Demon War for a long time by taking Metatron's hand, had no choice.

"The Demon Kings will arrive soon."

The Demon Kings.

The Demon Grand Guild led by Diablo.

They too were preparing for the Great Heaven Demon War, just like the Heavens.

"Now that Michael has risen, the balance of the Great Heaven Demon War has been broken. Baal must have been purged by now too."

The balance of the Great Heaven Demon War was maintained by himself and Baal.

Raguel as the Chancellor of the Heavens, and Baal as the General of the Demon Kings, both adjusted the forces and supplies so that the Great Heaven Demon War could end at a suitable point.

But Baal was defeated, and Raguel found himself in a situation where he couldn't move as usual.

Moreover, there was also Michael's betrayal.

The situation was very different from usual.

"What will happen if the Great Heaven Demon War takes place at times like this?"

The balance that had been maintained for so long had been broken.

If he had to make a decision, the obvious choice was to join the more favorable side.

Raguel looked at the Teleportation Gate that had begun working.

"Please, come in."

Clack.

Raguel kneeled.

"Oh, Demon King."

Zzuzzzz-.

Someone started walking from the brilliant glow of the Teleportation Gate.

A man with red hair and a prominent jaw.

Just with his appearance, the sky was dyed red. The appearance and face of that person were familiar.

'Demon King, Diablo.'

The pinnacle of Demons, Rank 14 in the High-Rank classification.

Raguel was tense at Diablo's appearance.

"Are you Raguel? Your face has improved a lot."

Diablo spoke in a careless tone, as if he didn't care.

It was completely opposite to Metatron, the Heavenly King.

"I didn't expect to see you again like this."

"The feeling's mutual."

"That damn guy really..."

Swish-.

Diablo's hand moved towards Raguel's head.

"You've grown a lot. You're a Chancellor now."

Thousands of years had passed since Raguel became the Chancellor of the Heavens.

But their first meeting was long before that.

Back then, Demons and Heavens weren't as hostile as they were now. They didn't get along, but there wasn't hatred to the point of killing each other.

Raguel trembled as Diablo's large palm covered his head.

It was natural to be afraid when one had committed a great sin.

Diablo gazed at Raguel as Raguel trembled before him.

"He said not to kill you."

Crack-.

Raguel was surprised and grabbed Diablo's hand as he exerted a malevolent force on his head.

"Ugh... Ughh..."

He felt like his skull would break any moment, and his brain would be crushed. The pain made his eyes widen, and Diablo's face came closer.

"You know, I'm not someone who breaks promises."

Hum, hum, hum-.

The Teleportation Gate began to emit light. One after another, the Demon Rankers from Diablo's faction began passing through the gate.

"But I also don't like being played with."

Clank-.

Diablo's hand grabbed Raguel's wings.

But at this moment, although it was only carrying the name of the Great Heaven Demon War, it was, in reality, nothing more than a small-scale fight.

His mind became confused.

If he wanted to plan for the future, he had to quickly leave this place.

If he wanted to fight, he would have to face both Diablo and Michael, but that was a fight with no chances of winning.

So, in the end...

"I surrender."

He wouldn't fight in a battle he couldn't win.

If he couldn't win, he would surrender cleanly and wait for the next opportunity.

That was what Metatron believed.

However...

"I do not accept your surrender."

Thud-.

Sometimes, there were opponents who couldn't be convinced with words.

"A long time."

"...Diablo."

The Demon King, Diablo.

For a long time, he had been Metatron's archenemy, a formidable High-Ranker enemy who had staunchly resisted as the leader of the demon side.

He advanced towards the Heavenly Castle with a threatening aura.

"Who surrenders so easily?"

His voice was chilling.

"There he is!"

"Metatron is there!"

"Today is the end of the odious Great Heaven Demon War."

The sounds of demon troops climbing up towards the Heavenly Castle were heard.

The Angels were restless.

The situation had reached the worst scenario imaginable for Metatron.

He should never have encountered Diablo, at least not in a situation like this.

"Not a very pleasant situation."

"That's right. You surely don't want to fight. That's why you only sent the pawns forward."

Clack, clack-.

Snapping his fingers, Diablo closed in on Metatron.

"You always disappear whenever the Great Heaven Demon War begins. You hide so well that it's hard to see you even once, but we finally meet."

Metatron did not participate in the Great Heaven Demon War and stayed hidden.

Because of that, Diablo's objective to catch Metatron had lost interest in the Great Heaven Demon War.

"Have you waited too long and decide to surrender? There's no chance."

"Do you really want to see the end?"

"Yes."

With his response, Diablo halted his steps.

"That would be perfect too."

[The Great Heaven Demon War will begin in 5 minutes]

There were 5 minutes left until the start of the Great Heaven Demon War.

At the moment he heard that message, Metatron realized why Diablo took no action despite his impatience.

The Great Heaven Demon War would end when the enemy field's King was captured.

If Metatron or Diablo were to die during the Great Heaven Demon War, naturally this battle would also come to an end.

In other words, Diablo was waiting for the officially recognized start, the Great Heaven Demon War.

'We've come this far...'

Diablo and Metatron faced each other.

Originally, this was the task YuWon was supposed to carry out.

"The Great Heaven Demon War is the war between the Demons and the Angels. The winner takes all from the opponent; it's a fight where the loser loses everything. But well."

The Great Heaven Demon War.

This battle wouldn't end in a massive collision, as it was the ideal image they had planned.

"If we can avoid a major collision in this battle and just capture Metatron, perhaps the Demon Kings and the Heavens will join together in an even larger guild."

The Demon Kings and the Heavens.

Two Great Guilds that were recognized even in the Tower, joining together as one.

That was a perfect image beyond expelling Metatron and preserving the power of the Heavens and the Demon Kings.

But that solely depended on Diablo's hands.

At this moment, YuWon's concerns were different.

"But the problem is this."

[The Great Heaven Demon War will begin in 3 minutes]

[Contribution: 0]

[After the conclusion of the Great Heaven Demon War, rewards will be granted based on contribution]

[After the conclusion of the Great Heaven Demon War, rankings within the Demon Realm will change based on contribution]

Contribution.

A score that only the Demons and Angels who qualified to participate in the Great Heaven Demon War could obtain.

Somehow, YuWon had become a participant in the Great Heaven Demon War.
