Chapter 205 - Chapter 204: First of the Fallen

Shabak had only just become a Demon Lord, and his use of his power was not yet proficient; like Shazam, his role should be that of a mage, not a warrior.

However, Beelzebub, who should have provided him with knowledge of magic, had already been killed by Dane, leaving him with a very limited magical repertoire.

For a time, he couldn't find a faster way to deal with these two women.

But this situation didn't last long; some basic magic was ingrained in Shabak's body like instinct, allowing him to cast it without deep magical attainment.

Shabak clenched his fists and raised them upwards; hellfire was pulled by him from the abyss, instantly enveloping his entire body.

The weapons Hawkgirl and Gabriel swung were caught by his left and right hands; the hellfire burned along the weapons onto their bodies, then suddenly exploded!

Shabak was about to continue his attack when he suddenly heard a sonic boom from the sky.

He looked up, and a fist the size of a casserole smashed into his face, hammering him back into the ground.

The newcomer was Shazam!

Hawkgirl and Gabriel quickly flew over.

"Shazam!"

"Dane!"

The two women spoke at the same time, then exchanged glances, as if electricity connected their eyes.

"The parasites are starting to gather here. You two should have a way to identify them. When you encounter them, don't hesitate, kill them directly."

With that, Dane charged towards the now-standing Shabak.

Hawkgirl and Gabriel temporarily set aside their differences and joined forces again.

They followed Dane's instructions, searching the city for the "anomalies" hidden among the populace.

Both of their equipment could connect to Cortana, who helped them identify those things.

After that meteor landed, Shazam knew that their last trump card had been played.

Through Cortana's monitoring, he discovered that the "parasites" were all starting to converge on Shabak's location.

Their ultimate goal was still unknown for now, but it was definitely related to Shabak.

The "parasites" painstakingly desired to obtain the power of magic, likely not just to create an individual with magical power; their ultimate goal should still be related to the flaws Dane had once discovered.

Originally, Dane wanted to wait and see what else they could come up with, but considering that he had already made an agreement with the President, it wouldn't be good to procrastinate, so it was time to officially start the battle.

Shabak also seemed to sense the danger, and with a tremor, fierce flames erupted from every inch of his skin.

Dane shielded his face with his arms; the flames scorched his body but did not harm him in the slightest.

Are you kidding? He now possessed the divine power of the Sun God; even flying into the Sun to bathe would be no problem, let alone mere hellfire?

But Shabak's purpose was not to wound him with fire, but to complete a magic circle.

The flames dissipated, and a huge pentagram, burning with fierce fire, had already appeared beneath Shabak's feet.

Dane felt the Hell Key seem to vibrate; he frowned, which meant that a stronger Demon Lord had violated the rules of Hell and forced his way out of the gate.

But this was all done with Shabak's willing cooperation.

Good heavens, forcing your way through the gate in front of the administrator, you're quite bold.

At the five points of the inverted pentagram, five great gates opened, and five great Demons flew out from them.

Satan, Aini, Berial, Asmodon, and Kratos, five Demon Lords, descended upon the World!

Asmodon looked at Shabak, "Very good, you have indeed fulfilled your promise!"

"Ah~ this fragrant scent." Berial inhaled deeply, as if wanting to draw all the fragrance of souls into his nostrils.

As soon as Aini saw Shazam, he immediately summoned his Demon legion.

Twenty-six legions from Hell answered his call, regenerating on the surrounding land.

Dane, without hesitation, began to call for reinforcements; under his emergency contact, all members of the Justice League responded actively.

Beams of teleportation light flashed one after another around Dane, revealing one figure after another.

When the last member also emerged from the teleportation light, Dane pointed at the six Demon Lords and their Demon army opposite him.

"Justice League, attack!"

Shazam and Superman took the lead, choosing two of the strongest opponents and simultaneously throwing punches.

The physical attacks of the two demigods were invincible, unleashing Impact waves with their punches; the mere aftershocks destroyed all buildings along the way, and even reinforced concrete cracked under the air waves.

Shazam and Superman's first punches directly sent two of them flying.

They exchanged glances, then split left and right, flying towards their respective opponents.

Superman pursued Asmodon, while Shazam pursued Satan; he always felt that this Demon seemed a bit off.

He was abnormally sensitive to energy; the fact that this guy calling himself "Satan" hadn't been hammered to death in Hell meant he must have something extraordinary about him.

Dane found one thing: the energy intensity within him was too high!

He was almost two different levels of life compared to other Demons!

Satan stopped in mid-air, he looked around, and then suddenly spoke a sentence.

"This place of yours, it should be the World of dreams, right?"

Dane suddenly looked up, scrutinizing him.

This Demon did not have the monstrous appearance of other Demon Lords; he had a human form, just like Lucifer.

Hmm? Just like Lucifer?

Dane suddenly realized, Los Angeles is Lucifer's territory!

No matter how much he ignored external affairs, he would never allow other Demons to run wild in his territory!

And Dane had always suspected Lucifer might be involved in this incident, but if Lucifer was unwilling, who could force him?

Or, to put it another way, given Lucifer's status, what Demon could possibly persuade him to act?

Connecting these clues, the identity of the person before him was almost obvious.

Dane probed, "You, are the First of the Fallen?"

The First of the Fallen, whose true name is unknown, is rumored to be God's first creation, God's companion and the embodiment of His conscience... However, for some unknown reason, he began to believe that God might be a madman, and so he was exiled by this "madman" from Heaven to Hell, becoming the first Fallen.

In Hell, the First of the Fallen became its first ruler, and also the first Satan.

Later, the rule of "Satan" being a trinity was also established by him; he and two other Demons jointly became the subsequent rulers of Hell.

It wasn't until Lucifer's fall that a long period of struggle ensued between them, ultimately leading to Lucifer successfully seizing the position of Satan.

If it was him, he certainly had the right to name himself "Satan."

Here's a little-known fact: in the movie "Constantine," the person who cured John Constantine's lung cancer was not Lucifer in the original comic, but the First of the Fallen.

In the comics, Hell was still ruled by three Fallen, led by the First of the Fallen, and Constantine sold his soul to all three simultaneously, causing infighting among them.

The First of the Fallen was quite surprised, never expecting anyone to know his story!

One must know that in human legends, Lucifer has always been considered the original Fallen.

"You know a lot."

The First of the Fallen reined in his smile; since the other party knew his identity, he lost his greatest deterrent in their eyes.

After all, the deterrence of magic lies in its mystery; once the mystery is lost, its power greatly diminishes.

"Did Lucifer tell you?" But he quickly dismissed his own thought, "No, he's not that type of person."

Dane charged forward, his speed, augmented by two divine powers, was incredibly fast.

The First of the Fallen was momentarily distracted for just 0.7 seconds when Shazam punched him in the face, sending him flying backward again.

"I don't care who you are, if you cause trouble in my territory, don't even think about leaving without leaving something behind."

Don't let the First of the Fallen's impressive title fool you; he couldn't beat Lucifer, and that was just a clone.

Dane wasn't afraid of Lucifer, so why would he fear a loser like him? Fight him!

The First of the Fallen, having been punched twice consecutively in the face, was also somewhat annoyed; he stopped himself and charged at Dane, engaging in a fierce battle.

"You have a lot of guts!"

When it came to trash talk, Dane was never one to back down.

"You're just a loser; wouldn't it be better to honestly hide in Hell and retire? Why bother coming out? No wonder God didn't care for you, trash!"

This remark precisely hit the First of the Fallen's sore spot; he flew into a rage, unleashing all his magic, and instantly sent Dane flying.

Immediately, the atmosphere in the sky cracked like glass, a sign that the dream realm was about to split.

But Dane merely waved his hand lightly, and the cracks mended.

He sneered at the First of the Fallen, "Once you're in my territory, do you think you can come and go as you please?"
