Asmodeus's sudden outburst left Belial both shocked and furious.
"Are you out of your mind?"
A quick rundown on the domain of the King of Lust is in order. Asmodeus's territory lies in a pink-hued void, filled with massive bubbles, each containing its own landmass. This realm is known as the Dream Mirage.
Some bubbles hold forests and grasslands, while others house cities or villages. The demons of this layer of hell live within these floating bubble-lands.
The largest bubble, naturally, belongs to Asmodeus's Palace of Lust.
Now, Asmodeus had just shattered that bubble, and the landmass supporting the palace began plummeting downward.
Asmodeus glared at Belial with venom in her eyes.
"I've won, Belial!"
Belial shot her a furious look. She wanted to curse her out, but saving Roy was her priority. The world beneath the Dream Mirage wasn't just the next layer of hell—it was something far more terrifying.
"Up!"
In an instant, Belial transformed into a towering giantess, catching the falling palace with both hands.
But Leviathan wasn't about to let Belial save Roy so easily. His body rapidly expanded, morphing into a colossal serpent that coiled around her.
"Belial, how pathetic! A Hell Lord, catching feelings for a human? Ha! You've exposed your own weakness!"
Belial strained to hold up the falling landmass, ignoring Leviathan's coils and taunts.
But Leviathan's tricks didn't end there. He opened his maw and sank his venomous fangs into Belial's shoulder. As the first serpent since ancient times, Leviathan's poison was one of his deadliest weapons, having felled countless ancient gods.
"Agh!"
Belial couldn't hold on any longer. Her body shrank back to normal, and she could only watch helplessly as the palace plummeted into the dark abyss below.
"No!"
"Hahaha! Roy Black is done for!"
Leviathan, Samael, and Mammon all smirked triumphantly.
Lucifer frowned, letting out a sigh. He'd considered helping Roy, but since he wasn't close to Belial, he hadn't acted. Now, it was too late.
Unnoticed by all, Beelzebub's swollen belly suddenly deflated as countless flies poured out of him, buzzing downward.
Since he was far from the action and the flies were tiny, no one caught on.
With the situation spiraling, Belial knew she had to leave, or it wouldn't just be Roy lost to the abyss below.
"Leviathan, I'll remember this! We're not done!"
Leviathan kept laughing. He knew he couldn't take down Belial in one go, but his venom would keep her suffering for a long time.
"Belial, I'll be waiting! Hahaha!"
With that, a massive inverted pyramid swallowed Leviathan, and Samael and Mammon vanished amid their own cackling.
"Crunch, crunch! Show's over? Guess I'm out too!"
Beelzebub, who'd been watching the spectacle, dissolved into a swarm of flies and buzzed off into the distance.
Only Belial, poisoned, Lucifer, and Asmodeus remained.
Asmodeus, of course, couldn't leave—this was her domain.
Lucifer glanced at Belial, hesitating before offering an apology.
"Sorry, I couldn't save Roy."
Belial didn't accept it.
"I don't want to hear it, you天堂 lapdog!"
With that, she transformed into a meteor, diving into the dark abyss, seemingly determined to find Roy.
Lucifer sighed again.
"Lost another friend."
Spreading his black wings, he soared upward, leaving the scene.
In the end, only Asmodeus remained in the Dream Mirage.
Despite outmaneuvering Belial, Asmodeus felt no joy—only a hollow sense of loss.
"Did I really win?"
She touched her flat stomach, gazing in the direction Belial had disappeared.

The scene shifts to the Palace of Lust.
Roy was one magic seal away from breaking free when the palace suddenly began to plummet.
Caught off guard, Alma nearly flew off, but Roy grabbed her arm just in time, preventing a tragic fall.
The magic seals kept Roy pinned to the bed—a massive velvet round bed fused to the palace floor—which allowed him to hold onto Alma.
As Belial briefly stabilized the falling landmass, Roy was about to ask Alma to check outside when a familiar figure with tiny wings fluttered in.
"Eluresa?"
"Daddy!"
Eluresa flew straight to Roy, wrapping him in a hug, which left Alma looking confused and suspicious.
"You already have a daughter? So what are we?"
"Uh… blended family, you know how it is!"
Roy tossed out a flimsy excuse, hoping to brush it off.
But Alma wasn't so easily fooled. She pressed him.
"What's a blended family?"
Before Roy could answer, the palace lurched downward again.
He held onto Eluresa and Alma tightly to keep them from flying off.
"Damn it! What's going on? Eluresa, you flew in from outside—do you know what's happening?"
"Daddy, I don't know the details! Mommy Belial is facing off with the King of Lust. She sent me to sneak in and rescue you! I just got here when the place started falling!"
"Wait, you have another wife?"
Alma's focus, as always, left Roy speechless.
"Is this really the time for that? Alma, help me break the last magic seal. We'll sort everything out once we're safe!"
Convinced, Alma reached for the final seal from Roy's arms.
Seconds later, the last seal shattered, and Roy's body floated upward, freed from the velvet bed due to inertia.
Demon transformation!
Roy morphed into his demon form, a towering ten-meter figure, holding Eluresa and Alma like two dolls in his hands.
"Hold tight!"
Spreading his wings, Roy prepared to crash through the ceiling, but the moment he left the palace, a terrifying gravitational force yanked him back down.
"What the hell?"
Even in demon form, with strength and constitution exceeding 200, Roy couldn't fly.
Through the shattered ceiling, he glimpsed a pitch-black world outside, like a black hole that swallowed all light.
Flying was out of the question. Roy used his cursed hair to secure Eluresa and Alma to his body, like kids strapped to a backpack, then punched a hole in the floor to check below.
The underside was just as dark, the palace endlessly falling.
"Daddy, are we going to keep falling forever?"
"If the palace is falling, something's pulling it down. We'll hit bottom eventually!"
But that raised another problem. The palace was picking up speed, its outer structure already showing signs of collapse.
When it finally hit, it'd shatter into pieces. Roy's constitution might let him survive, but Eluresa and Alma wouldn't stand a chance.
They couldn't keep going like this. Though he didn't know when they'd hit bottom, they needed to slow the palace's descent—fast.
Just then, a swarm of glowing green flies appeared beneath the palace, seemingly trying to prop it up.
These weren't ordinary flies; they shimmered with magic. But their numbers were too few compared to the massive palace. They slowed the fall slightly but couldn't stop it.
"Magic to counter that weird gravity?"
Roy looked at Alma. If magic worked, her psychic powers might too.
"Alma, can you slow the palace's fall?"
Alma blinked, looking lost.
"How do I do that?"
"Like when you broke the magic seals—use your mind, your imagination!"
Having already shattered the seals, Alma was getting the hang of her psychic powers.
Closing her eyes and focusing for a minute, a surge of psychic energy poured from her, enveloping the palace.
The descent slowed noticeably, even pausing briefly in midair.
"It worked?"
Before Roy could relax, Alma faltered.
"I can't hold it!"
The palace resumed its fall, but after a dozen seconds, it hit bottom.
Roy shielded Eluresa and Alma, taking the brunt of the impact with his body.
Boom!
After a deafening crash, Roy pushed aside the collapsed ceiling, curiously scanning his surroundings.
"Where are we?"
They were in a dark, shrouded landscape. Even in demon form, Roy couldn't see far.
Oddly, the air lacked the usual sulfurous stench of hell, making him wonder if they'd left it entirely.
"What a strange place."
On the ground, the oppressive gravity was gone—perhaps it only applied in the air.
Roy flapped his wings, lifting off a few inches, only to be slammed back down by that same terrifying force.
"Looks like a no-fly zone. We'll have to walk."
Carrying Eluresa and Alma out of the palace ruins, Roy noticed the ground was made of fine powder, like sediment weathered by eons. Scattered among it were demon bones—some fresh, others so ancient they crumbled at a touch.
Thanks to the strange gravity, the palace's crash hadn't kicked up much dust, sparing them a choking cloud.
"Are these demons like us? Fell here and ended up like this?" Eluresa wondered, eyeing the bones.
"At least we didn't die on impact. We've got a chance to get out. Let's go!"
Roy carried Eluresa and Alma forward.
The world was monotonous—endless gray powder, no terrain, no buildings, no life.
Just a vast, featureless expanse of dust and unending darkness.
At first, Eluresa and Alma chatted occasionally to keep Roy from boredom, but soon they ran out of things to say.
Eventually, both fell asleep on his back.
Thankfully, Roy's inventory held plenty of food and water, so they wouldn't starve.
But even if starvation wasn't an issue, boredom could be its own torture.
Roy tracked time by Eluresa's sleep cycles. The little succubus's rest was as regular as clockwork.
When she slept, it marked a day.
"A week already," Roy muttered.
He'd walked nonstop for seven days with no discoveries.
"Are we just going to be trapped here forever?"
His food and water would eventually run out, and that would be the real problem.
For now, Roy could only keep moving, searching for a way out.
He lost track of time, his 241 constitution finally feeling the strain of exhaustion.
"Eluresa, how long have we been walking?"
"Let me think… I've slept fifteen times, so probably fifteen days!"
"Half a month already? Maybe I should rest."
Even Roy couldn't keep going without sleep for fifteen days straight. He was about to sit when Eluresa spotted something.
"Roy, look over there! Is that a building?"
Following her gaze, Roy squinted and saw a faint, dome-like shape, stark against the flat terrain.
"There's definitely something! Let's check it out!"
It wasn't far. Roy picked up his pace and reached the object, only to find it wasn't a building but a massive biological skull.
Most of it was buried in the dust, but the exposed part was as large as a stadium. It was impossible to imagine the creature's full size or how it ended up here.
As the three stared in awe, an ancient voice rasped.
"Well, well… visitors?"
