In the center of the Colossal City, thousands of devils were surrounding a lavish multi-storied pagoda-styled building. Both the devils from the wastelands and the surrendered guards had gathered here.
In the air, Davion was observing everything closely from his chariot. While Bjorn, Averi, and other devil kings stood nearby him with serious expressions on their faces.
"My Lord, it seems like Joziah is really inside. I can feel traces of his powerful aura fluctuating in there." After breaking through, Bjorn's senses had become quite sharp.
"Indeed. He also has created layers of formation to conceal himself." Davion explained.
"It means that he must be in a critical stage." Averi's eyes glinted coldly. She then asked, "Why don't we interrupt him?"
Bjorn nodded as he had a vicious expression on his face.
"There's no hurry. Besides, Joziah is not the only one inside." Without waiting for their response, he ordered, "Raze this building to the ground."
"As you say." The devils below fired their energy beams at the building at once without any hesitation. But a thunderous voice sounded from inside, diffusing their attacks into thin air and forcing them to kneel on the ground.
"Presumptuous."
"Bang"
The roof of the building burst open and a green devil that was more than fifty feet tall appeared in everyone's vision. Unlike other devils, he didn't have a muscular body and even lacked the devil horns and the tail.
His body looked oily, and drops of liquid were dripping from him.
"Bam!Bam!Bam!"
Holes after holes a few meters deep formed on the ground once the liquid came in contact with the ground. This proved how strong he was as a devil commander would immediately die upon its touch.
"What! There is indeed another devil commander here."
"It seems like the Lord was right."
Bjorn looked at him with worshipful eyes.
"I will let you deal with him since both of you are at the early stages of the Devil Emperor state." He commanded.
"No worries, my Lord. I was itching to go all out since breaking through." Bjorn too transformed into his devil form and released all his aura.
The green devil frowned seeing this. "Damn! He's not an easy opponent. Especially, when someone far powerful is backing him."
He stared at the young man on the chariot solemnly. Maybe only the emperor could deal with him.
"But the problem is that he can't come out at the moment. I have to buy him some time." While he was thinking, his hair suddenly stood on its end as he felt a sinister gaze locked upon him.
And indeed, it was Davion's. He felt that he had entered the mouth of a wild beast that could devour him any second. So, he lowered his head and backed a few steps straight away.
"Haha, are you scared?" Bjorn laughed loudly, thinking that he managed to frighten him.
"You…" The green devil became furious.
"Let me teach you a lesson." His fist ballooned into a huge ball and he smashed it straight towards his face, hoping to crush him in a jiffy.
"Humph! Growing bigger like Joziah? Shows why you were hiding here the whole time. Fucking thieves." Bjorn scoffed in disdain as his body elongated like a rubber, wrapping around the huge hand.
He then slithered around it, reaching near the neck of the green devil in the blink of an eye.
"Bastard! How dare you mock the emperor? I will kill you. Nobody is going to pass through me." The green devil billowed in anger and his body turned into millions of droplets of liquid, scattering into different directions.
"This…"
"Can I even kill him?" Bjorn was shocked.
Davion's eyes also lit up. It looked like he found a good talent.
"Hehe, I should recruit him later on." He chuckled.
While Bjorn was in disbelief, a bubble behind him attracted the nearby bubbles and formed a sharp lance in a fraction of a second, catching him by surprise.
"Puchi-"
Blood was spilled as he was hurt. Nonetheless, it wasn't serious since all the liquid had yet to coalesce completely.
"Damn! I was careless." He cursed inwardly while his eyes burned with fury.
"Don't think that I have no way to deal with you." He wide opened his mouth and began sucking all the liquid in front of him.
"You.." The green devil panicked as things were getting out of hand. The same went for Bjorn. A single mistake would cost him his life. The lance was steadily piercing inside while the liquid was getting devoured.
"Interesting. They both are not bad." Davion exclaimed in excitement, causing Siena to roll her eyes at him. "I believe it's time for you to make a move."
"Wait for a while." He closed his eyes and tapped his finger on the chariot, creating a certain rhythm.
Averi and her gang looked at each other and shook their heads. They didn't understand their Lord's thoughts.
"You must hold on." Despite not liking Bjorn, they couldn't help but be worried about him.
A couple of minutes later, the battle was still in stalemate and everyone was watching the battle intently. After all, it was rare to witness devil emperors battling.
However, the battle was interrupted as a dangerous aura was abruptly unleashed from the building.
"BOOM"
The building blew up into pieces, and clouds of black smoke billowed out, shocking everyone.
"Emperor! Did you succeed?" The green devil was the first one to react.
"What?" Bjorn became flustered. He could feel a vast Devil Essence brewing nearby him.
"The Late Stage of the Devil Emperor Realm." He shuttered with uneasiness.
"Hehe! Leave me, or you will die a gruesome death." The green devil could finally speak with confidence.
Bjorn, who had turned into a big ball after swallowing too much liquid burped and retorted. "Don't ever think about it. I will at least take you down."
He was about to unleash his ultimate move when a calm sound resounded in the air.
"Bjorn, you sure have the guts to rebel." A palm thrice as large emerged from the smoke, trying to catch the traitor.
"My Lord!" He cried out in fear.
"Humph! You are quite arrogant to call him a Lord when he is just a Devil Emperor." A disdainful harrumph was heard as the palm continued crashing down upon him.
But right before it could hit, a cold snort rang in everyone's ears.
"Is that so?"
"Swish!"
A bolt of light flashed and reached in between the incoming palm and Bjorn, stopping the strike easily and generating powerful shockwaves.
"Who are you?" A thin black-robed man having torn apart upper robe and evil face was eventually seen as the shockwaves swept away the devilish smoke.
"The Heavenly Demon God" Davion addressed himself proudly, astonishing the other party.
"HAHA! You are more arrogant than I thought." Joziah shook his head.
Davion didn't reply but slapped backside, knocking down both the green devil and Bjorn to the ground unconscious.
"BOOM"
"How dare you?" Bjorn bellowed in anger. How dare he smack his subordinate in front of his face?
"I will kill you. Not only did you mess with my city, you even killed many of my devil kings."
"Stop your bullshit. Let's fight." Davion transformed into his five hundred feet devil form, releasing waves after waves of tidal pressure.
"It seems like you have some ability." Joziah didn't dare to underestimate him any longer as he sensed the majestic pressure emitting from him that he had never experienced in his life.
"Although you are bigger than me, it's not enough. My devil ability makes me far bigger and stronger than you." He yelled and transformed as well.
"BOOM"
The grand sank hundreds of meters as it couldn't withstand the weight of a thousand feet tall giant having sturdy muscles, gray scales, and wings.
Next, he threw a fist at Davion with everything he could. Meanwhile, Davion responded similarly. Despite being smaller than him, he didn't fear clashing head-on. He was confident of his Heavenly Body.
"BOOM"
"My God! They are too terrifying." The spectators yelled in disbelief as the surrounding structures including them were hurled miles away.
As a result, barren land was formed and only two individuals could be perceived clashing with each other brutally. Terrifying shockwaves were emitted every time their flesh collided.
Punches, kicks, headbutts, grapples, and all types of moves were thrown at each other, attempting to gain an advantage. But it was all futile as they were evenly matched.
"How can you possess such strength with a small body like yours?" Joziah couldn't believe it.
"You haven't seen my true powers yet. Time to end this." Davion flicked his hand and a sword appeared above him, radiating a beautiful silvery black light.
"Don't tell me…" He gulped in fear as he somewhat recognized what the grade of this sword could be. Moreover, how can a weapon of that caliber appear outside the holy lands? His mind became a mess.
