"[Suspended World]"
Upon using this skill, the Seraph Empyrean had just fed the hourglass the rest of her power into it.
As a result, she will be weakened significantly to the point of having the strength of a standard angel.
'This is a small price to pay, and I will trap this Demon Prince till the end of time. This isn't the first time we, Seraphims, did something similar as we sent other powerful Demon Nobles to the same fate.' she thought with a small smile forming on her face.
The green magic circle spun around the area as foreign scriptures started appearing around the reality-isolating barrier. The letters glowed brightly, bright enough to make one shield their eyes.
If someone were to look at this from an outside viewpoint, it would appear as if a star had fallen at that very spot.
"...It's...done.."
The "star" grew dimmer, and all movement within that barrier had stopped.
Within the barrier, some might mistake it for a Transcendent Tier-3 Temporal Manipulation Spell known as [Time Stop].
However, it is more than that.
Because [Suspended World] is technically a much superior version of the spell.
Most individuals at Transcendent Tier-4 can freely move in a place devoid of time, meaning they have transcended time itself, which is considered the 4th dimension. Even though they have transcended time, they cannot move in the [Suspended World] because there is a dimensional barrier separating it, making [Suspended World] a 5th-dimensional realm.
And the proud Angel had poured her every bring into that spell. In mere moments, she would turn to a mere normal angel, but she did not care.
She has won, the Demon Lord has successfully been incapacitated.
Now, she could live it all up to the future.
She could rest now...
"Bwahahahahahaa!!"
Before the Seraph Empyrean...
"Oh you poor little Angel, such power is wasted on the likes of you."
A reality that should not have just occurred.
"Impossible..."
To her horror, the Demon Lord before her seemed unaffected within the barrier.
"All this time you have been using your magic to undo mine, so I suppose this is the first time you have used it directly on me huh..?"
The Seraph Empyrean could do nothing but stare in silent defeat.
"I admit that the skill you use could work on the strongest demons. However, you forget that those type of skills doesn't work on a demon with the blood connection of the Demon King himself, who transcends beyond little things such as a mere 5th Dimension," he laughed at the weakened Angel, like a boy bullying a little girl, "Of all of the angels, I thought you would know that."
"Shut up! What do you know?!" The Seraph shouted back, "You know what, forget it. You can't even escape the barrier! I had used all of my power on strengthening it that even your level couldn't easily penetrate! And in fact, not only does the barrier isolate you from reality, it also prevents anyone from using their skills twice, making it a one-time use. Therefore, most of the skills you used can no longer be used again."
Hearing this, Andromalius smirked ominously, "Oh, but I do still have one."
"Huh?"
Suddenly, in an unprecedented gust of energy, the impossible was birthed.
A spatial phenomenon that defied expectations.
Before the Demon Lord appeared a small black sphere that seemed to absorb light itself.
A Black Hole.
However, since it consumed a vast amount of Mana and was an uncontrollable force that would only stop when the Mana of its caster ran out or successfully absorbed its intended target, it was categorized as a transcendent Tier-3 spell.
With Absolute Spatial Magic, it was possible to create Black Holes beyond ordinary Spatial Skills.
However, they were just as unstable and impractical as them.
There were simply more efficient ways to use Spatial Magic, even for destruction, other than a Black Hole.
But...
An exception could be said to exist.
An unstable Black Hole with the immense control of Spatial Magic, combined with the effects of the [Primordial Evil] Ultimate skill and his bloodline connection to the Demon King.
That could birth something new.
An-all consuming void that could be perfectly manipulated to achieve the desired effects while effectively managing the Mana supply and absorption rate.
A perfect Black Hole.
Which is called...
"[Singularity Point]"
The next moment, a dark void manifested before his hand, deep and hollow. Everything around it was swallowed, and Andromalius directed it toward one thing.
The reality-isolating barrier.
VWUUUUUM!
The void ascended, humming with intensity, as it clashed with the barrier that separates real space and the parallel dimension.
It was no competition at all.
The Seraph Empyrean's eyes widened in horror as the black sphere grew, absorbing the light and energy around it at a force far stronger than a normal [Black Hole]. Space and time seemed to crumble and everything within the barrier meant to trap Andromalius in time began to warp and distort under the immense force of the spell.
She knew she had no more tricks left, no more power to call upon. She had given everything to trap this demon, but it wasn't enough. This world-eating Black Hole continued to expand, its gravitational force tearing this whole dimension within the reality-isolation field apart piece by piece.
Desperation filled her as she watched space crumble. She had to do something, anything, to stop this monstrosity.
But before she could act, Andromalius raised his hand, and the Black Hole surged forward, enveloping the remnants of the small world and the Seraph herself.
"Farewell, little Angel," he said, his voice dripping with malevolence. "Your efforts were commendable, but futile and meaningless at the end."
In mere seconds, the entire dimension within the reality-isolating field, including the Seraph Empyrean herself, was consumed by the darkness that the Demon Lord created, completely vanishing them all from existence and leaving nothing behind but a void of darkness.
Andromalius stood alone, the remnants of the battle fading into nothingness as the Black Hole finally devoured all it could.
And once that was done, Andromalius closed his palm to form a fist.
The result was expected.
FUUUUUU!
The Black Hole imploded, consuming itself until it turned into nothingness.
Once it was done, there was nothing but sparkles of blackness and purple radiating about.
The Demon Lord looked around at the empty space where the barrier and the Seraph had once been.
"Now that is done," he muttered to himself with a satisfied grin spreading across his face.
And with that, Andromalius had stood victorious as the Seraph's sacrifice rendered meaningless in the face of his overwhelming power.
Looking at the horizon, Andromalius noticed a glimmer of light from the sun rising in the distance.
Dawn was approaching.
Andromalius smiled. With the beginning of the third day of being in this world, it is time to continue expanding his army into this world and claiming it as his own.
But just as he was about to step forward...
BOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!
BOOOOOMMM!!!
BOOOOOOOOOOMM!!!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMM!!
BOOOOOOOOM!!!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!
He was met with multiple massive balls of flames, expanding miles upon miles and incinerating everything in their path, even in the area where the Demon Lord stood.
However, despite the power of a hundred nuclear bombs detonating, Andromalius doesn't seem to be bothered by the intense heat and the destructive force of the blasts.
"It seems the humans decided to launch these weapons of theirs again. Desperate and foolish, yet it is typically the weak's instincts to survive," he chuckled amusingly, "Still, how did this happen without any of my subordinates warning?"
To find the answer, we need to rewind to the moment during the intense battle between the Demon Lord and the Seraph Empyrean.
