He's a crossover character in anime/manga, and basically just very despicable.

【Azami Kurosaki can defy fate】.

Although Lucifer abandoned his intention to use Azami Kurosaki after establishing a relationship with her, he still looked down at the human world depicted in the crystal ball—

The Corinth Peninsula was utterly destroyed. Although neither Mary nor Santa Claus appeared, Lucifer knew from the spirits roaming the land that they too were observing Hell.

Once it's confirmed that the Knights of the Round Table have executed Azami Kurosaki, that will be their chance to wipe out the rebels in one fell swoop...

"Lucifer, Lucifer, Lucifer!"

"Shut up, Cerberus!"

Even Lucifer, who is good at controlling his emotions, could not tolerate being disturbed when his mind was in turmoil.

"No, no, no! Look at the moon!"

Looking down at the crystal ball—no, there's no need for that anymore.

Even the demon lords in hell could see the eerily dimming sky. The abnormally large crescent moon hung high in the night sky without any sense of incongruity, as if it had always been there and was only now being noticed.

It was not a pure white, but a chilling blue-green, and it was so huge that it seemed within reach.

"Hmm? Knights... did they fail?"

As the eerie blue-green crescent moon appeared in the sky, Maria [Fate] felt a sense of oppression surrounding her, prompting her to come to the Corin Peninsula.

"A sense of oppression that appeared around me without any source or warning... Is it the aura of a villain...?"

If we have to pinpoint a single source, it would probably be the new moon.

"It seems I must prepare for battle... See you later, Lady Lucifer."

If I come back alive, please remember my black tea, no sugar.

After straightening his clothes, Shirogane Miyuki prepared to leave Hell to join the battle.

"Not just you, we're going too."

Led by Her Majesty the Queen, all the lords stood ready—Justice adjusted her fingerless gloves, Marina grumbled as she picked up a wine bottle, the chains binding the Judge were like snakes coiled around him, and Modius hoisted a massive, thick book with ramming legs and chains...

“Agatha and Campos stay behind, everyone go forth—not just to fight.”

It was also to welcome... the victors.

At this moment, under the watchful eyes of both Lucifer and Maria, the eerie aura emanating from the crescent moon intensified—even the surrounding space showed signs of being "torn"!

Purple lightning-shaped energy flashed, and the surrounding space began to distort, like a flat, gushing stream of water spraying out due to the sudden increase in pressure after the spout of a water pipe was squeezed. Lucifer could even see the surprised expression flash across Santa Claus's face, which was out of sight, through these spatial fluctuations!

A monster far more terrifying than this new moon is about to appear!

Almost the instant the thought crossed people's minds, the ground beneath their feet began to shake violently.

"No...it's not an earthquake...I can already feel it..."

Lucifer's hands clenched and unclenched repeatedly, almost crushing the wine glass. Excitement, fighting spirit, and joy caused a large amount of cold sweat to break out on her forehead and back, instantly wetting a strand of her hair.

Kurosaki Azami is back...

She had a feeling that this method of directly distorting space was something that Kurosaki Azami could do with a simple gesture!

Kurosaki Azami's plan succeeded!

He successfully ascended to heaven!

"Sorry I'm late..."

The deep male voice carried a hint of guilt, but more than anything, it exuded immense confidence.

The projection from the dazzling starry sky spiraled down, and the luxurious pure gold staircase with its handrails and steps engraved with the pattern of [Black Thistle Flower], along with the figure slowly walking down from it, even [Destiny] Maria was stunned.

Such a large-scale pure gold artifact, if not embellished with gemstones or other precious metals, would often give people a vulgar feeling of nouveau riche. But for this miraculous staircase, the only word that can be felt by humans, gods, and demons is "shock".

On the steps, a figure slowly descended.

The legs, above the boots made of pure gold, were covered by pure white trousers, but the inner thighs were partially cut off, revealing the other person's deathly pale skin, devoid of any color.

His upper body was covered by a pure white tight-fitting top that perfectly outlined his strong muscles. Combined with his skin tone, it looked as if his upper body was completely naked from a distance, but it still did not give people any sense of incongruity.

A pure gold shawl, adorned with silver thistle decorations, was connected to a pure white cape that swayed slightly.

Like a paradoxical combination, the two diametrically opposed auras of evil and holiness appear simultaneously on [Kurosaki Azami] without any abruptness!

No matter how you look at it, and no matter how different everyone's aesthetic views are, they will all come to the same conclusion.

【Perfect】.

“I have returned, back to this battlefield—thanks to my son Schrödinger.”

His skin was deathly pale, devoid of any color. He had long, black hair that reached his waist and hips. Golden patterns, like five-pointed stars, descended from his forehead, with the two lower points passing through his eyes and continuing downwards. Upon closer inspection, these star-shaped patterns were actually composed of fine, dense thorny vines.

“I have returned, with the power to utterly defeat [Fate].

With such a bizarre yet sacred appearance, Kurosaki Azami slowly shook his finger and said—or rather, this state could be described as "Kurosaki Azami reaching heaven."

"You expect these guys to deal with me, fate?"

Looking back at the Heroic Spirits who were standing ready, Kurosaki Azami sneered at Maria.

"It's like sending chickens and ducks to the battlefield as an army, utterly useless... right, Sugiiwa Dosaki?"

"【Noble Phantasm: Great Sumeru Hammer】!"

[Heroic Spirit - Sugiiwa Dosaki] took the lead, followed closely by [Conan] and [Kiko Shinomiya] - a soccer ball landed at the boy's feet and continued to expand, while magical light gathered in the middle-aged man's hands.

"【Noble Phantasm: A Soccer Ball】!"

"[Noble Phantasm·Shenra Tianzheng]!"

Faced with the fierce attack, Kurosaki Azami calmly stepped forward.

"【King Crimson - Beyond Heaven】!"

The main body and the stand-in simultaneously threw punches, blocking the soccer ball, which was as large as an island.

"No da! No ...

The ball shattered, the hammer broke, the spell was destroyed, and the heroic spirits were sent flying backward.

"So useless—!!!"

He closed in and delivered a follow-up punch, revealing the full form of Kurosaki Azami's Stand.

A silver mask with crimson floral patterns covered half of her face, but the corners of her mouth that were visible looked elegant and sacred.

The extra face on the back of his head looked extremely ferocious, with sharp fangs faintly visible.

Symbolizing dual identity, eeriness and holiness, and absolute dominance, this is the ultimate evolution of Kurosaki Azami's Stand—

—【King Crimson Beyond Heaven】！！！

Chapter 267 The Final Battle

"There is no such thing as useless, useless, useless."

Looking at the three heroic spirits who had once again fallen to the ground, unable to resist, Kurosaki Azami shook his head indifferently—enemies who once required painstaking efforts to deal with could now be rendered helpless with a mere wave of his hand, as pleasant as having an invincible cheat code in a video game.

Even if you become Heroic Spirits, you are still just soldiers of fate.

Kurosaki Azami stretched out his palm and clenched it in the air, ignoring Maria's ugly expression.

"No matter how powerful a mortal is, they cannot escape the constraints of fate... That is why I gave up my human identity."

It was because I encountered you maggots vomited up from toilets that I realized I haven't escaped fate, haven't yet taken control of everything in this world... even if I obtained the remains of a saint, it would still be the same..."

"You bastard, how dare you insult my remains!"

His red robe ripped open, revealing Santa Claus's bulging muscles as he unleashed a punch like a demon god of war.

"Arctic Fist - Divine Speed ​​Aurora!!!"

Santa Claus, known as Nicholas in human times, is a saint of the Eastern Orthodox Church.

Although the stories he left behind on earth mainly focused on helping the poor, the things he did on earth were primarily about subduing demons and monsters—unlike Lucifer, who was skilled in magic, for this old man who did not practice magic, his fists were everything.

【Arctic Fist - Swift Aurora】, sounds unremarkable - a punch with the same speed and power as Santa's sleigh.

But is that really the case?

The devil Campos, who once worked with Santa Claus, once said that Santa Claus is "the fastest man," and that's absolutely true.

He would need to deliver gifts to over 100 million families and 500 million children in one night. Even taking time zone differences into account, he would need to travel 266000000 kilometers in 31 hours, which translates to a speed of 8580645 kilometers per hour, or 2383511 meters per second.

If we consider the speed of sound to be 340 m/s, then Santa Claus's speed is 7000 times the speed of sound.

In other words, the average time allocated to each household is only 0.000797 seconds.

If each child's gift weighs about 2 kilograms, then the gifts for 5 million children would weigh approximately 50 tons.

In other words, on Christmas Eve, an unidentified flying object weighing approximately 50 tons will be speeding wildly through the skies at a speed of 8580645 kilometers per hour.

Even without considering the fires and sonic booms caused by frictional heat, the impact of Santa Claus delivering presents each time is equivalent to an asteroid hitting the Earth. Just one Christmas Eve is enough to cause enough damage to set back the global economy by at least a century.

And this punch, about to land on Kurosaki Azami's chest, didn't even faze him—

"I have indeed heard that corpses yearn to meet other corpses, but I've never heard of corpses meeting spirits that should have died long ago..."

Amidst everyone's stunned expressions, Santa's right fist was gripped tightly, and a cruel glint appeared on the face beneath the [Crimson King - Beyond Heaven] mask—

So, leave.

A spatial ripple flickered, and the roaring white-bearded old man vanished, leaving only a tattered red robe lying on the ground—but just moments later, even the robe disappeared.

"This...this isn't a transfer..."

Not to mention the utterly astonished Maria, even Lucifer couldn't help but widen his eyes and take over the role of commentator.

"Instead, it disappeared..."

[Fate] Maria's expression grew even uglier, and she forced out words of pain through her silver teeth.

"This is not just about killing..."

Miyuki Shirogane took out his phone, opened the calendar, and the words "Christmas" that originally belonged to December 25th disappeared, turning into an ordinary Saturday.

"That's right... not just in this world."

The battlefield, which had been bustling just moments before, was now deathly quiet, exuding a desolate loneliness. Kurosaki Azami's words added an indescribable sense of terror.
