Compared to the panic that Aleister felt.
Ling Qing is currently experiencing unprecedented changes.
The moment the True Demon Form is activated.
He then felt the concept of demons surging towards him.
The definition of a demon differs in every world.
Some are purely destructive forces;
Some are manifestations of chaotic entities;
Some are existences that completely transcend the laws.
But at this moment.
All these concepts are unified and sublimated under the power of the True Demonic Form.
Most importantly, the concept of demons—demons—truly exists in this world!
I see…
Ling Qing whispered in the depths of her consciousness.
A demon is a demon not because of its great power, but because it can define the very nature of demons.
After understanding the concept of demon gods.
His body began to break down.
This is not decay or corruption, but some kind of more sublime reorganization.
Skin, muscles, bones—all material structures are breaking down into more fundamental forms of existence.
at the same time.
His soul, however, was expanding infinitely.
Perception has reached into unknown territories that were previously unimaginable.
Rule 817 is in the construction…
Aleister witnessed a chilling scene through the surveillance spell.
Ling Qing's body is becoming a state between existence and non-existence.
And the position where he originally stood has also changed.
Space itself began to distort.
This creates a miniature phase gap.
Humans... ascended to become demon gods...this shouldn't be...
The solution in the life support tank was boiling violently.
For the first time, Aleister lost his usual composure and opened his eyes.
Aiwass! Intervene immediately!
...
However… nothing happened.
For the first time, Aleister felt a sense of fear.
Aiwass did not respond!
It was as if they were isolated by some higher-level force.
Aleister once again felt a profound sense of powerlessness and insignificance.
At this time.
Ling Qing's transformation has reached a critical moment.
His consciousness transcended the limitations of conventional time and space.
I saw the other side of the world—countless phases overlapped like transparent veils, forming the entirety of this world's reality.
And the demon god.
It's the ability to freely remove and replace these thin veils.
This is... how the world is structured.
Ling Qing's thinking is no longer limited by language.
But he still prefers to understand all of this in a human way.
Magic and science are simply different manifestations of the same phase.
Sudden.
Ling Qing sensed their presence—that of the other demon gods.
Those beings beyond reason are watching him from beyond the phase.
Some were curious;
Some are on guard;
And some... were hostile.
But Ling Qing ignored these stares.
His transformation has reached its final stage.
The body, which was originally broken down, is reassembled and completed.
It is no longer in human form, but rather a more perfect conceptual vessel.
Dark red energy swirled around him, then suddenly contracted, merging entirely into his new body.
When the light fades.
Ling Qing—
No, it should now be called Demon God Ling Qing.
He hovered silently in mid-air.
Outwardly, it doesn't look much different from before.
But Aleister knew that the creature before him had nothing to do with humans.
Is this what it feels like to be a demon god?
Ling Qing looked down at her hands.
See beyond appearances.
What he saw were countless lines of rules that constituted his existence.
Infinite power, infinite perspectives... and infinite loneliness.
He simply raised his hand slightly.
Aleister's meticulously arranged seven seals shattered like bubbles.
All defensive spells on the windowless building failed at the same instant.
The entire building began to groan under the strain.
Outside the windowless building.
What's going on here?
A young girl stared in astonishment as something seemed to change in the building.
Inside a windowless building.
Ling Qing's gaze pierced through the wall.
I saw the entire Academy City.
Then the continents, then the entire Earth…
His vision continued to expand and grow.
Until the entire universe is brought into the realm of perception.
This is not the limit.
He can perceive more, if he so chooses.
How... insignificant.
Ling Qing muttered to himself.
From the perspective of the demon god, those who were once considered formidable enemies are now nothing but dust.
Aleister's plans, the darkness of Academy City, the conspiracies of the magical side... all seem so insignificant.
But Ling Qing did not indulge in the pleasure brought by the power.
He keenly sensed the first crisis after becoming a demon god—assimilation.
The boundless power seemed to be constantly trying to erode his humanity.
Every minute and every second, a portion of Ling Qing is diluted in the vast power of the demon god.
This is a kind of divinity.
[Ding! A demonic entity has been detected attempting to intrude upon your noble body. The chat group has adjusted the entity's position!]
When Ling Qing opened her eyes again.
His gaze was no longer that of pure, divine indifference.
Chat groups are as great as ever.
Ling Qing glanced at her own body.
The body returned to normal.
The power of the demon god still exists.
But it is no longer affected by position.
He really enjoys this relaxed state.
Aleister.
His voice resounded directly in Aresta's mind.
Now, we can talk again.
The upside-down man in the culture tank remained silent for a long time before finally responding with unprecedented caution.
…What do you desire, Demon God?
Ling Qing smiled slightly.
This simple expression caused the rules of the entire space to tremble.
There are many, but first of all…
He raised his hand, and a ball of dark red energy condensed at his fingertips.
I need you to understand one thing—from now on, I will define the rules of the world.
The energy ball spread silently, instantly covering the entire room.
Aleister was shocked to discover that all the magical formulas were being reorganized and rearranged according to some higher-level rules.
This is not destruction.
Rather, it is something far more terrifying… a reshaping.
Welcome to—
Ling Qing's voice carried a hint of amusement.
The Demon God's Playground.
