Lucifer didn't know how long it would take to go from Heaven to Hell.

All it knew was that, having spent its entire life dealing with hell, it was the first time it truly understood what it meant to be worse off than dead.

It's all fake!

It was just a trick by Jiuzhiche to toy with it!

It never escaped!

The immense disparity and sense of humiliation instantly overwhelmed Lucifer's mind, causing him to suddenly erupt and break free from Jiu Zhiche's restraints.

The demon's body was rapidly changing, its aura rising steadily, and surging power swirling around it.

More than twenty years after the dream of Nanke, it still manages to extract the power of arrogance from the void of the dream!

It is the leader of the Seven Deadly Sins, how could it possibly be defeated so easily!

"Haven't you been asking me for my last words? I'll give you a little time to say them!"

Before Lucifer could finish speaking, he reappeared behind Jiuzhiche, his swollen demonic arms as thick as a human torso. Fueled by terrifying power, a sonic boom ripped through the air—

Along with the corrupting power of the demons, it rushed towards Jiuzhiche.

"Didn't you ever consider that if you could gain twenty years of arrogance from a dream, then the dream that supports such immense power would be under my control..."

Jiuzhiche retaliated with his fist. With a simple punch, he broke Lucifer's move and slammed him into the ground, creating a large crater.

As the dust settled, Lucifer coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Hehe, hehehe, hahahahaha————"

The laughter, tinged with chilling hatred, gradually faded until it vanished completely.

Jiuzhi Che retrieved the skull sword. After piercing the heads of Asmodeus, Lucifer, and others, the white material on the skull sword gradually turned blood red, the white and red intertwined, full of evil.

Hashimoto Yoshimi, having enjoyed her meal, had a strange glint in her eyes. "Ache, I need time to digest this power."

"You must keep me safe."

She transformed into a white cocoon, no bigger than a finger, and landed in Jiuzhiche's palm.

Sweet dreams.

Jiuzhiche tapped the cocoon with his finger and put it away.

With all seven demons dead, the remaining demons will have little chance of gaining any traction until new demons emerge.

Of course, he wasn't going to let them go, but the elite demons Lucifer was with were all dead. There weren't many demons left in Hell, and the vast majority of the other demons had been sacrificed by themselves.

All that's left are a few scattered individuals.

As long as humanity has desires, there will always be demons in hell.

However, that's not something Jiu Zhiche needs to worry about right now.

Now, he wants to start his retirement life ahead of schedule!

"Wow, Rei Tanio is so handsome!!"

"Pshaw, no matter how handsome he is, he's not as handsome as the one in my heart."

"Forget it, you can see people in real life but you can't touch them, but you can see distant idols and at least have a chance to touch them!"

"Huh? Where's the morality? Where's the channel? I mean, I'm also a fan of Rei Taniguchi, is he coming here?"

"He recently published a book and is coming to our school for a book signing. What do you think? It's a rare opportunity to get up close and personal with him."

"Go away! My dear Che-jun, I'll cherish you for two days, and see you again in two days!"

The girl stuffed the photo into her backpack, then grabbed another girl and ran outside.

"Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute, Zero's autograph session hasn't started yet..."

"Rei Tanio? Who?"

Jiu Zhiche, who overheard the girls' conversation, said that he did not know any celebrities.

Kayako thought for a moment: "She seems to be an idol who is quite famous for singing and acting. I've heard Rizo mention her before."

Jiuzhiche opened his phone and searched, "A tribute to our eventually dying innocence, this book title has a bit of a melancholic and tragic literary feel to it."

He chuckled and said, "Kayako, how about we change our midday nap time into reading time?"

Because she wanted to learn more, Kayako read a wide variety of things.

She read novels, comics, movies, and documents, but she had never read any coming-of-age angst literature.

But she really enjoyed doing the same thing with Jiu Zhiche.

So Kayako nodded emphatically: "I want to see."

Generally, as long as the books aren't too obscure, most students in the class who enjoy reading will have them.

Jiuzhi Che stepped forward to borrow the book and quickly managed to borrow the book written by Guwei Ling.

After lunch, the two found a patch of grass and snuggled together to read.

A fairly standard coming-of-age book, which Kayako read very carefully.

Later, Jiuzhi Che realized that Kayako was staring intently at his fingers.

"Have you finished reading this page?"

"Um......"

Realizing she had been exposed, Kayako quickly turned to the next page.

Jiu Zhiche chuckled and gently pinched her chin, shaking it slightly. "What are you thinking about?"

Kayako took his fingers, let go, and nuzzled his cheek against his. "Reading, Che."

What are you thinking? The answer is simple: of course it's all about Che.

And... his fingers are hers, they're all hers...

"Click—"

With the director's command, everyone on the crew breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sadako, come here for a second."

"Your performance in that scene was powerful and moving enough, but you didn't show enough hatred for the male lead. Think about the things or people you hate, and try to empathize with them..."

Sadako listened and nodded. Although the director was a bit fierce, he was a nice person and explained the scenes very thoroughly and carefully.

"Sadako, someone's visiting the set, looking for you."

Assistant director Shigemori Yusaku greeted him, a knowing smile on his face.

"Visiting the set?" The director was also a little curious. He had seen Sadako's hard work and talent during this time and thought she was a very promising actress.

If a relationship were to be revealed during Sadako's rising career, it would be a heavy blow to her acting career.

In this day and age, fans cannot accept that celebrities or idols have romantic partners.

Sadako was still wondering who had come to see her when she saw someone walking towards her. She was startled, but more than that, she was overjoyed.

If it weren't for so many people watching, she would have happily pounced on him.

"Sadako, I've come to see you." Jiuzhi Che was carrying two large bags of drinks, and next to him was Black Sadako, who was also dragging two large bags.

Weight wasn't a problem for Black Sadako, but the bag's volume alone was equivalent to half of her size.

"What are you going to do with all these drinks?"

Sadako Kuro harbored deep resentment and glared at Kyuichi Che with a huff.

"This is for the crew on set. You know, it's called social etiquette."

"Anyone who dares to bully Sadako will not see the sun rise the next day!"

"Just consider it a matter of courtesy."

Jiuzhi Che hopes that Sadako's environment is kind, and doing small things is nothing to him.

When Sadako arrived in front of them, her eyes still sparkled with surprise. "Ache, little sister, let me know before you came, and I'll come pick you up."

Black Sadako looked exhausted. "I can't lift it anymore."

Sadako quickly took it.

"The drinks are for everyone on the crew," Jiu Zhiche said with a smile. "I wanted to give you a surprise."

Yusaku Shigemori, who had been observing from the side, smiled and came over to take the bag. "Sadako's boyfriend brought drinks for everyone, come on over."
