Chapter 2066: A New Evil God Is Born, Beelzebub
-----
Armageddon, who had witnessed his arrival and the unleashing of his new power, stood utterly perplexed. Her eyes widened as she felt the overwhelming energies radiating from Beelzebub.
"Who would’ve thought that forgettable insect spirit would become this...?!" she muttered, her giant eyes fixed on his surging power. "Has he become an Evil God now?! No... he’s still technically a Spirit too?! Like me...!"
Beelzebub was no longer merely an Evil God, a Demon, or a Spirit. He had become a fusion of all three. He had ascended, transforming into a True Demon, a Divine Spirit, an Evil God, and...
A Dungeon.
"Feel the true power of my Authority," he declared, his voice thick with fury and resentment. "For daring to trick and deceive my beloved disciple. For killing Arachne and all those who followed her. For endangering her and preying on her vulnerable heart...! YOU WILL PAY, LOLTH!!!"
"...!!!" freewebnovel.cσ๓
The pressure was so immense that Lolth instinctively clenched her teeth and trembled. She took a step back, but Beelzebub pursued her with blinding speed. He seized her head, slammed her into the ground, and shattered both the floor and the divine domain she had created to trap everyone.
CRAAASH!
BOOOM!!!
A massive explosion erupted as thousands of flies formed from his divine demonic spirit aura surged forward, bombarding her body with millions of consecutive detonations.
"UUAAAAHHHHH!"
Lolth’s vessel screamed in agony while the evil goddess’s soul panicked. Her eyes widened as she desperately tried to strengthen the vessel for battle.
"H-How is this possible?! How is he so damn strong?! Who is this guy anyway?! B-Beelzebub?! Wait... is he connected to my previous vessel?! I-I...!"
As she attempted to retreat and gain distance, the space around her instantly distorted and reality shattered.
"Eh?"
Her eyes widened as she found herself in an entirely different realm—a world of darkness, a wasteland of purple stone and black rivers beneath a blood-red sky.
There, only the dry corpses of thousands of souls remained, long ago claimed by the cruelty and injustice of the world.
"..."
She stood paralyzed.
Behind her, he appeared.
His aura surged, leaking darkness in every direction, while his red eyes gleamed with lethal intensity. His claws shone with unrestrained bloodlust.
"Y-You...! I know you..." Lolth smiled faintly. "You’re the Demon Lord Beelzebub, right? You served the Demon King. You are Arachne’s master..."
"..."
"We can make this work," Lolth said, turning toward him with a confident smile. "Become my apostle. You’re still technically a mortal! If you do, our power and influence will only grow. From there, we can—"
"You took her away from me."
"...!"
She stared into his eyes, which burned with sorrow and hatred—hatred directed at her, but also at himself. Beelzebub despised what he had done to those around him, for neglecting them, for never admitting his true feelings, and for failing to open his heart until it was too late.
"You promised her glory. You tricked her into giving you everything..." he said. "Arachne... she was once such a kind girl, and you... you corrupted her into a monster!!!"
"I di—"
CRAAASH!
"Gaaahh?!"
Lolth vomited blood as a sharp crack split her very soul. A massive hole tore through her vessel as Beelzebub’s fist pierced it effortlessly, launching the final boss of the dungeon into the skies of his domain.
BOOOM!!!
A colossal explosion of purple flames engulfed her in agonizing pain. Lolth screamed as she began to feel everything her vessel endured—the same way it had happened with Arachne.
"You took away her smile... you took away her good heart! YOU TOOK AWAY WHAT LITTLE SHE HAD LEFT OF WHAT HER PARENTS TAUGHT HER!!!"
Beelzebub transformed into purple lightning, catching her midair and swinging his claws forward. He punched and tore through Lolth’s body relentlessly.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"KUUUAAAAAGGHHHH!"
Lolth endured excruciating torture. Her divine soul, which had only recently healed, began cracking further. The powerful curse she relied on so heavily had no effect on Beelzebub—he was completely immune to it.
"S-STOP! DON’T YOU DARE TOUCH ME ANYMORE!"
Lolth screamed through her vessel. The Infernal Spirit Tree erupted with power, abandoning its humanoid Dryad-like form to become a towering titan of burning wood.
Red leaves sprouted across her branches as blazing hair flowed down her form. Dozens of new arms manifested each wielding giant weapons. Darkness flooded her entire being as miasmic crystals forged her armor and weapons. Divinity, corruption, curses, fire, and spirit energy all fused into one.
"This vessel, though initially incompatible with my nature, is perfect. I cannot let her die!" she declared. "So I will eliminate you using every ounce of power I possess! And then, I shall feast on your soul and corpse, Beelzebub!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
As her manic laughter echoed, she attacked. Beelzebub stood in silence while thousands of weapon strikes rained down without end. He surged forward, dodging the assault with fluid grace, splitting the sky as he flew upward. He kicked off the ground, leaving a massive crater behind. His many hands moved rapidly as he summoned Dungeon Monsters—thousands of Demonic Spirits pouring forth from his Divine Demonic Dungeon Domain.
"This is my Demonic Divine Spirit Authority! Face its power!
Divine Demonic Spirit Authority – Legion of Vengeful Demons!"
Thousands of demonic spirits soared into the sky and descended upon Lolth’s vessel at once. They pierced her skin and wooden frame, digging deep inside. Her miasma was rapidly drained away, and even her deadly curse only fueled their growth and multiplication.
"W-What is this?! Get away from me!"
Lolth desperately tried to shake them off, failing each time, yet she continued regenerating and fighting back. Beelzebub’s aura kept growing, but it took time. His dimensional powers were still brand new, and he struggled to fully grasp them.
"HEH, YOU’RE SLOWING DOWN! YOU’RE JUST A NEWBORN EVIL GOD! IN THIS WORLD OF GODS, THE WEAKEST ARE ALWAYS EATEN FIRST!"
Lolth laughed wildly, mutating her giant vessel with countless jaws and enormous spider legs. She crawled toward Beelzebub as his divine aura continued to expand.
"Tsk."
Just as Beelzebub braced himself to take the hit while losing momentum—
BOOOM!
His domain shattered as a blazing figure emerged. A giant insectoid spirit goddess, similar to him, spread her burning wings and rushed toward Lolth’s vessel. She manifested her Divine Avatar instantly, and a colossal burning insect scythe surged forth, slicing through the massive titan and splitting it into two.
SLAAASH!
"Unnggh?!"
