The flight speed of the demon and the human turned out to be slower than Su Ze's.
And by the time they arrived at the scene, they realized Su Ze didn't need any help at all.
On the main residential road, Su Ze was like a god of war, slaughtering a monster with every punch. The scene was incredibly brutal.
Magic's reinforcement of the flesh completely disregarded the laws of physics. Outwardly, his physique showed no change, but internally, the transformation was earth-shattering.
His defense and explosive power were at least ten times what they had been before, and this was without actively enhancing himself with magic.
"Th-th-this..." Hiiragi Utena stammered in shock, mumbling, "Is this a physical magic user?"
Venalita was equally astonished.
Are newborn Demon Gods this strong?
This physical combat power is already comparable to a high-ranking demon, and it seems he hasn't even used his full strength yet!
"Why are the corpses of those monsters disappearing?" Hiiragi Utena asked in confusion.
Venalita narrowed its round yellow eyes and said, "They might have been hidden by the Lord's innate ability. He couldn't bear to let the corpses of monsters be exposed to the eyes of the world... Truly a great Demon King of utmost purity and kindness!"
"Demon King" was the general term in the Demon Realm for powerful magical beings.
Calling him that, even if someone overheard, they wouldn't guess that Su Ze was the Seventh Demon God.
Or, more accurately, the newborn Seventh Demon God.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!"
Su Ze killed with abandon, forgetting himself in the slaughter. With a flicker of his figure, several monsters would die.
As the killing continued, his Desire Points surged rapidly.
If viewed from high above, the battlefield was divided into three corners.
One corner was controlled by the three Magical Girls, one by Su Ze, and the last by Igawa Asagi.
When Igawa Asagi arrived, she found that the magical source causing the phenomenon had vanished. Instead, a massive horde of monsters was surging in. To protect the civilians, she temporarily abandoned her pursuit of the source.
In truth, if she had arrived just half a minute earlier, Su Ze would have been exposed.
The two sides would likely have become mortal enemies rather than current "comrades-in-arms."
Whether it was Su Ze, Igawa Asagi, or the three Magical Girls, they had all noticed each other's existence. Their gazes had even met a few times.
Seven or eight minutes later, the monsters had been slaughtered to the last. Those with any sense didn't dare approach the barrier.
It couldn't be helped.
There was no leader on the monster side, and the killing efficiency of Su Ze's three factions was simply too high. It would have been difficult for their morale not to collapse, especially since they weren't an organized army to begin with.
To hunt more monsters, Su Ze ran straight out of the barrier.
"Help me, Mr. Hero!"
In a corner of the street, a purple-haired girl waved her hand, crying for help.
Su Ze turned to look and found that the purple-haired girl was Hiiragi Utena, who had canceled her transformation. There was no danger around her.
He glanced at a monster fleeing in terror ahead of him, but still flickered his body and appeared beside Hiiragi Utena. He said in a deep voice, "Magia Baiser, give me an explanation."
That monster was worth at least three thousand Desire Points!
Hiiragi Utena took a step back, waving her hands in panic. "Eh?! Eh?! Eh?! How did you recognize that I'm Magia Baiser!?"
Magical Girls possessed a passive magic called "Cognitive Blur." Even if she looked exactly the same as before her transformation, no one should be able to recognize her.
[Panic from Hiiragi Utena +400]
"Idiot, this is the Demon King! Mere cognitive blurring wouldn't have any effect on Lord Demon King!" Venalita smacked Hiiragi Utena on the head, then said to Su Ze, "Lord Demon King, I was the one who asked her to call you here. Real trouble is coming. Although your physical strength is great, I do not recommend you continue fighting before you have truly mastered your magic."
Venalita's words were tactful and filled with honorifics, making them very pleasant to hear.
Su Ze raised an eyebrow. "Be specific."
"I fear it is too late," Venalita sighed.
As soon as Venalita finished speaking, Su Ze suddenly felt a strange fluctuation.
The barrier set up by the Magical Girls was swept by this wave and shattered instantly!
Then, a vast expanse of rose-red aura appeared in the sky, shrouding the entire firmament.
"Space-time has shifted."
Such a realization suddenly surfaced in Su Ze's mind.
Before he had magic, he certainly wouldn't have been able to detect this change.
"We no longer exist in the physical world. This is a barrier targeting supernatural beings. All existences with magic have been shifted inside," Venalita said gravely.
Just then, four blood-red spatial gates appeared high in the sky, and four magnificently dressed women walked out from them.
"It's the Four Demon Generals of the Evil Ark!" Venalita pulled Su Ze and Utena into the shadows to hide.
Su Ze scanned the Four Demon Generals with his [Eye of Truth] and found only question marks, so he hid as well.
Hiiragi Utena asked in a low voice, "Will the Magical Girls fight them?"
Venalita replied, "They definitely will. Did you not feel the evil aura radiating from those four?"
Hiiragi Utena asked, her tone filled with worry, "Are they strong? The Magical Girls will definitely be able to defeat them, right..."
"Of course they can't win!" Venalita said confidently, patting its chest.
Hiiragi Utena petrified on the spot.
In her heart, Magical Girls were invincible, the guardians of this city.
"However, with that Taimanin here, it's not certain," Venalita continued.
While they were talking, the Magical Girls had already engaged the Four Demon Generals.
Both sides started by blasting magic at each other, but the Magical Girls were clearly outmatched.
Su Ze released an invisible bamboo copter to observe the battle in real-time.
Through Ma Luo's memories, he had some understanding of the Evil Ark. The big boss behind it was the Evil God, Ashe Dulan.
His four lackeys were powerful, and they were all hermaphrodites.
"I'm going to help the Magical Girls!" Seeing the Magical Girls being beaten down into the dust, Hiiragi Utena couldn't hold back any longer.
Surprisingly, Venalita didn't stop her. It nodded and said, "Go ahead."
Hiiragi Utena looked surprised.
"Anyway, no matter what I say, you'll go, right?" Venalita said calmly.
"Thank you, Venalita." Hiiragi Utena took a deep breath, instantly completed her transformation, and stepped into the spatial gate ahead.
After she left, Venalita said to Su Ze with certainty, "Lord Demon King, do you have designs on the Four Demon Generals?"
Su Ze's gaze burned intensely as he asked back, "Do you have a way?"
He had just asked the system for their prices.
Those four Demon Generals were each worth around five hundred thousand points.
If he could take them all out in one go, he would rake in two million Desire Points!
Venalita hesitated for a moment and said, "My strength hasn't recovered yet. Unless you are willing to sacrifice me."
Towards the end of the sentence, it looked at Su Ze, its eyes becoming pitiable.
"Then forget it," Su Ze shook his head.
He had also asked for Venalita's price.
Around two million Desire Points.
Its mystery was definitely not as simple as it appeared.
"Thank you, Lord Demon King. However, when it comes to the critical moment, fleeing with you won't be a problem!" Venalita looked grateful, acting as if Su Ze's command would really have made it sacrifice itself.
Su Ze didn't bother thinking about whether Venalita was testing him or had other hidden agendas. Since he had become transcendent, if he encountered irresistible danger, he could simply go to the Surface World.
He believed there were few existences in the Surface World that could truly kill him, unless there was some world-ending catastrophe.
But then again, world-ending catastrophes seemed quite common in the Surface World.
Aside from Morioh Town, there was also Fuyuki City within Tokyo.
Maybe one day, something like the Human Order or a King of a Lostbelt would show up.
The chaotic nature of the Surface World was no less than that of the Inner World; it was just that the danger level in the Inner World was higher.
It wouldn't be strange if Godzilla appeared in the Surface World one day.
