Douluo Continent: The Twin Sons of the Styx River, Shaking the World and Destroying the Heavens

Chapter 284 Demon Lord
"Arrogance, in this world, disrespect for heaven and earth, is considered the original sin."

"Greed, the greed in one's heart, is endless and considered the original sin!"

"Desire is the essence of human nature; to seize it as possession is to be considered original sin."

"Gluttony, overeating, and being controlled by desire are considered original sins."

"Jealousy, being jealous of others, and being perpetually dissatisfied are considered original sins."

"Anger, hatred of others, and inability to control oneself are considered original sins."

"Laziness, sloth, cowardice, and irresponsibility are considered original sins!"

"Lust, indulgence in pleasure, and losing oneself are considered original sins."

"Evil, the act of doing evil, is against the will of Heaven and is considered original sin."

"Killing, done with the true heart, brings calamity and is considered original sin."

"The power of original sin, the vanity of all worlds, rejected by heaven and earth, irreconcilable enemies."

"Ten sects unite, and the evil god descends."

Ten beams of light swayed individually, rippling with subtle resonance. In an instant, evil energy surged and spread throughout the world like a tidal wave. Ten deep purple mists churned and intertwined, enveloping the entire world like a giant curtain, each wisp of mist gleaming with an eerie light.

At the same time, the darkness surged wildly at a visible speed, squeezing out the light from all directions. This caused the aura of the entire demon army to rise sharply like a ignited flame, far more than just a simple increase in power. The malevolent energy around them became even more solid and terrifying.

A brand new demon appeared, as massive as a spiral arm of the Milky Way, its skin flowing with a dazzling light like a galaxy, and dark purple stardust wandering between its textures, as if it had incorporated the chaos and order of the entire universe into one.

The demon's face was grotesque, its horns curving like dark matter vortexes. A dark golden crown floated above its head, inlaid with ten dark crystals, each corresponding to the shadowy glow of one of the ten original sins. Its eyes were pure nothingness, seemingly capable of devouring all vision, yet in the blink of an eye, they reflected countless fragments of the rise and fall of civilizations.

Six unfurled demonic purple wings, their membranes covered with ancient runes of destiny, flapping to create distorted currents of space and time; six giant hands each wielding a weapon.

His large feet were like giant pillars supporting the sky, and the space seemed to collapse where he stepped. He was covered in armor, and a dragon head statue was perched on each of his shoulders.

He was surrounded by ten black rings, each representing a different element: "Greed," "Desire," "Wrath," "Pride," "Sloth," "Lust," "Envy," "Gluttony," "Sin," and "Slaughter." Dozens of longswords hovered like satellites around him.

He has now reached the level of "commander".

"Demon Lord Mephistosel" "Destiny: Preservation, Gluttony, Memory, Hunting, Harmony, Order, Pleasure, Destruction, End"

"Introduction: The Demon Lord Mephistosel is formed by the fusion of ten Demon Kings, representing 'Greed,' 'Lust,' 'Wrath,' 'Pride,' 'Sloth,' 'Lust,' 'Envy,' 'Gluttony,' 'Sin,' and 'Slaughter.' He also controls nine 'Destinies': 'Preservation,' 'Gluttony,' 'Memory,' 'Hunting,' 'Harmony,' 'Order,' 'Pleasure,' 'Destruction,' and 'End.' You will then know just how terrifying this 'Demon Lord Mephistosel' truly is."

Looking at Mephistosel, Xia Die wondered if he really thought it was possible to make a move.

"You mortals, hear me proclaim your doom," Mephistosel said in a deep voice.

In an instant, heaven and earth collapsed, and a thick, inky dark power, carrying an overwhelming sense of "destruction," transformed into a spear that pierced fiercely towards the Light Dragon King.

But it was blocked by the butterfly.

Mephistossel swung his trident fiercely, instantly creating a surging dark ocean that swept towards the Butterfly.

As Xia Die slashed out with her scythe, a massive blade of light, as purple as the sky, tore through the air, cleaving the ocean in two and striking Mephistosel with pinpoint accuracy, sending him flying backward.

But at that moment, six sharp swords suddenly appeared around Mephistossel, precisely slashing at his six arms and instantly severing them all.

Mephistossel's voice, laced with the venom of the Tenfold Original Sin, exploded from the black mist spewing from the severed arm. His empty eye sockets were fixed on Xiaodie, and the ten rings spun wildly, distorting even the surrounding spacetime due to his rage.

Xia Die didn't even lift her eyelids. She parted her lips slightly and uttered four icy words, as if they were a cold wind blowing from an ancient ice plain: "Light of the End."

Before she finished speaking, a faint purple glow appeared on her right palm. The light wasn't ordinary brilliance; rather, it was like the final breaths of countless dying stars compressed into a single image—the surface flowed with the ashes of a collapsing civilization, while within lay a dark purple vortex of a collapsing galaxy, each wisp of light whispering the word "end." It wasn't the condensation of energy, but rather "annihilation" itself taking form; even the air began to disintegrate and annihilate upon its touch. "All paths lead to one!"

Mephistossel roared, and the ten rings of original sin shattered, transforming into pure power of destiny that surged into his body. The protective barrier, the gluttonous black mist, the hunting edge, the harmonious rhythm, the shackles of order, the illusion of pleasure, the flames of destruction, the deathly silence of the end... all the mixed energies collided violently within his chest cavity and instantly merged, ultimately condensing into a single point of chaotic origin.

The next instant, this power erupted from him, transforming into a destructive shockwave that swept across the heavens and earth. Wherever it passed, stars crumbled, laws shattered, and even light was pulverized into particles.

However, this "all paths converge into one" impact, powerful enough to tear the heavens and earth apart, melted away as quickly as ice and snow meeting the blazing sun the moment it struck the ball of "light of the end" in Xia Die's palm. All the energy of destiny lost its form under the aura of "the end," even the most stubborn protective barriers turned into nothingness, and the greedy black mist was completely purified, leaving not even a ripple.

Immediately afterwards, the "Light of the End," which had gathered the power of civilization's annihilation, broke free from its restraints and transformed into a purplish-black beam of light that pierced through the chaos. With the resolute determination of "nothing is imperishable," it shot straight toward Mephistocel, who had not yet recovered from the energy dissipation.

Mephistossel's body trembled violently, and his massive form suddenly disintegrated before the "Light of the End" arrived, transforming into ten clones identical to his original body—each clone carrying a phantom of a ring of original sin, complete with six wings and weapons, spreading out in a ring in the void, just avoiding the destructive beam of light.

"Take this blow from me."

The ten illusory clones suddenly merged into one, transforming into Mephistossel's true form. The ten rings of original sin once again encircled his body, and six weapons simultaneously pierced the void. With a deep roar, the space of the entire battlefield began to collapse inward. Countless shattered stardust and twisted fragments of laws were pulled and gathered by an invisible force, ultimately condensing into a colossal dimensional sphere that covered the sky. With overwhelming power, it crashed down towards Xiaodie.
