Thank you for the invitation. He's in heaven now, he's become God.

However, the witches were no pushovers; they reacted instantly and used magic to block the attack.

Then, this originally planned battle broke out under these unexpected circumstances.

However, it wasn't long before the witches found themselves at a complete disadvantage.

This "Demon King" who controls the ominous black mist has already fully stepped into the level of "Fourth-Order God"!

The witches are merely false gods of the third rank, and although they possess various strange magics, their direct combat ability is not particularly strong among those of the same rank.

The brilliance of magic was almost completely negated.

However, that eerie black mist posed a deadly threat to the witches.

Elune, in particular, narrowly escaped death several times in less than a minute.

It seems that her previous attack made this "Demon King" remember her.

Although Elune was inwardly criticizing the petty behavior of this "Demon King," she could only passively defend against his attacks.

With such a vast difference in strength, the defenses that the witches had built together did not last long before being torn apart by the black mist.

The ominous black mist rushed straight at Elune, and she was about to be pierced through her body before she could even react.

"Well……"

Faced with the fear of death, this red-haired, golden-eyed loli witch even subconsciously closed her eyes.

However, several seconds passed, but the expected pain did not come.

"........."

When she opened her eyes, she found that the "Demon King" seemed to have been suddenly put on pause, his body frozen in mid-air, his eyes filled with horror.

“Mr. Yahweh…”

Seeing this, Victorica relaxed and a relieved expression appeared on her face.

Mr. Yahweh?

Upon hearing this, Elune couldn't help but stiffen and turn her gaze to Yahweh, whose expression hadn't changed at all since the beginning.

Was it him... who controlled the "Demon King"?

Although it's hard to believe, it seems to be the only possibility right now.

Is this man really that strong?

Recalling her earlier words about protecting Yahweh, Elune felt her cheeks burning.

"Is this thing... the evil of the world?"

Yahweh observed the black mist surrounding the "Demon King" and muttered to himself.

With his power, he easily deciphered the essence of the black mist.

However, it seems...

Yahweh observed for only a short while before withdrawing his gaze, preparing to erase it.

He had no interest whatsoever in a puppet controlled by evil thoughts.

Although the "Demon King" was frozen in mid-air, he was still struggling frantically.

How could such a terrifying existence exist in this world?

Isn't he invincible after obtaining "divine power"?

He is the strongest!

However, no matter how excited he was, it had no effect.

Yahweh didn't even use the slightest power; he simply conceived the idea and easily obliterated it into nothingness.

"I never expected that in the end, we would still need Mr. Yahweh to step in..."

Victorique walked to Yahweh's side, looked at the spot where the "Demon King" had disappeared, and said this.

"That's exactly why I came here..."

Yahweh shook his head slightly and replied.

“Mr. Yahweh…”

At this moment, the other witches also came over, their faces showing shame.

After all, it was Yahweh who defeated the "Demon King" and saved them. They had previously thought of Yahweh as a burden who needed protection, and Elune was even more afraid to look at him.

However, such trivial matters naturally wouldn't concern Yahweh.

"So this matter is resolved just like that?"

Victorique asked this question in a rather relaxed tone.

However, Yahweh shook his head upon hearing this.

"Although the so-called gods do not exist, that 'Demon King' did indeed obtain this power from a being from another realm."

Upon hearing Yahweh say that there were enemies after the "Demon King," the witches around them instantly tensed up.

"That……"

Faced with Victorique's questioning gaze, Yahweh merely stirred his mind, and the palace, which had been in disarray due to the recent battle, instantly began to rumble.

Then, a passage leading underground appeared in front of them.

"This is……"

"The answer is inside..."

Yahweh said this and then stepped directly into the passage.

Seeing this, Victorica and the other witches around her quickly followed.

After passing through the dark passage, the scenery ahead suddenly opened up.

That was no less magnificent than the underground palace above. In the center of the palace was a magnificent and ancient altar, upon which was enshrined a silver-white holy sword bound by black chains.

An ominous black mist surrounded the holy sword and chains, just like that surrounding the "Demon King"!

Chapter 225: The Darkness Within Evil Thoughts

Rather than saying that the holy sword and chains were surrounded by black mist, it would be more accurate to say that the black mist emanated from them.

To be precise, these ominous mists all originated from that silver-white holy sword!

No, it's more accurate to call it a demonic sword than a holy sword.

The eerie black patterns almost completely covered the sword's blade, and even the gem in the center of the hilt looked dull and lifeless.

Moreover, the ominous mist spread along the sword and onto the chains, turning them black as well.

Only at the very end of the chain could one barely see a trace of the chain's original shimmering gold.

"This is……"

Upon seeing this, the witches all showed expressions of discomfort, and felt a strange aversion and rejection towards the "demon sword" bound by chains.

"This sword... is it the culprit behind this disaster?"

Victorica's expression was somewhat subtle.

Calamity from another world...

It's just a sword?

"Yes and no!"

In response to Victorique's words, Yahweh replied as follows.

"To be precise, the darkness and malice attached to it are the root cause of everything."

That "Demon King" was also corrupted by this ominous power, which led to the events that followed.

A blessing from the gods?

It would be more accurate to call it a curse from the devil!

"Wait... this sword... I feel like I've seen it somewhere before..."

Just then, Elune, who was standing to the side, suddenly seemed to have thought of something and frowned.

"Has Elune seen this sword before?"

The surrounding witches looked at the red-haired, golden-eyed loli witch with surprise upon hearing this, especially Victorica.

After all, this silver sword is from another world, yet Elune claims she has seen it before.

"If I remember correctly... it was in an ancient book..."

It seems that Elune has some difficulty recalling the memories because they are from so long ago.

"In ancient times... there seemed to be a demonic sword that could corrupt the world, which was then sealed away by the witches of that time..."

The demonic sword depicted in the ancient book was almost identical to the one she was seeing now.

"An ancient demonic sword..."

Hearing Elune's words, the witches murmured in a daze.

"So, should we destroy this demonic sword?"

However, the ancient witches could only seal it away; the "Demon King," corrupted by its power, was something they were completely unable to deal with...

Elune and the others instinctively turned their gazes toward Yahweh.

It seems that because of what just happened, the witches subconsciously regarded him as their pillar of support.

"It would be such a waste to destroy this sword..."

In response to the witches' gazes, Yahweh replied as follows.

If he wasn't mistaken, this sword seemed to be...

"Leave it to me..."

As he said this, Yahweh, amidst the tense and surprised gazes of the group, grasped the hilt of the "demon sword".
