"Snap!"
Moen snapped Xingli Tian Kuanghua's neck, flames erupting from his hand and burning the guy's head to ashes.
"Let's go, let's go now."
Moen didn't care, spoke up, and then casually tossed the rest of Xinglitian Kuanghua's body aside.
After casually eliminating the equally clueless Xingli Tian Kuanghua, Moen directly instructed Yin Fulipa to lead the way to the lair of "Netherworld Gate" to destroy the "Core of Hell".
"By the way, what is this book? That Hades seems particularly interested in it."
As Moen spoke, he pulled out a book, which was none other than the one Maldo Gil had always held in his hand.
"Pluto" Maldo Gil has always been very fond of this book, treasuring it greatly, and Moen naturally noticed this.
Therefore, when he killed Maldo Gil, Moen immediately took the book into his hands, as he was also very curious about its purpose.
"This... is the Book of END, an item used to seal the strongest demon, END. And that END is the nominal head of the Tartaros, while Hades Maldo Gil is not actually the head."
Silver Fullpasta provided the answer regarding the book, which surprised Moen greatly. Could this book really be that important?
[Ding! Mission triggered!]
Mission Title: "The Gates of Hades and the Strongest Demon!"
Mission objective: The demons of Tartaros have attacked! They intend to find Zeref, the creator of Tartaros. The demons have different intentions; some want to return to Zeref's side, while others want to completely replace Zeref's position!
"Pluto" Mardo Gil created Tartaros under the guise of "The Strongest Demon END," but in reality, it served his own ambitions. The true identity of "The Strongest Demon END" is astonishing—it's none other than Natsu, a member of the "Fairy Tail" guild! Destroy Tartaros and protect Natsu!
Task progress:
Mission 1: Destroy the "Gateway to the Underworld" (Incomplete)
Mission Two: Protect the "Book of END," which is vital to Natsu's life, from destruction. (Completed)
mission rewards:
Mission 1: Random Gold Cloth; Mission 2: Blood of God
Just as Moen was wondering what this "Strongest Demon END" was, the system popped up and issued a mission.
After reading the information revealed in the mission details, Moen couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. Fortunately, he had become curious about the book and spared it when he killed "Pluto" Maldo Gil, otherwise he might have killed Natsu as well.
However, this is really not Moen's fault. No matter how resourceful he is, he really couldn't have imagined that Natsu would be related to this "Strongest Demon END" and even have his life tied to a book. It's just too absurd.
So Natsu was also a demon created by Zeref?
The shock of this news made Moen forget even how surprised he was by the appearance of yet another drop of [Divine Blood]. Moen already possessed a portion of [Divine Blood], but he had never used it because it was so precious. Moen had been struggling with where to use it, and now that another drop had appeared, he had more options.
"Buzz!"
With a solemn expression, Moen sealed the "Book of END" with the Crystal Wall, placing it close to his body inside his clothing and protecting it with his Golden Cloth.
Now, unless the Gold Cloth is shattered and Morne is killed, there's absolutely no way you can destroy this "Book of End"!
Of course, the greatest danger this "Book of End" has faced so far is that it was almost killed by Moen.
Watching Moen seal away the "Book of END," Silver Fullpasta wanted to say that his magic could also be of some help, but in the end he didn't say it, there was no need to make a fool of himself.
But in truth, Silver Fullpasta had some doubts. Why didn't Moen try to destroy the "Book of End" directly? Even if it wasn't possible, he should at least try.
"Give back the Book of End!"
Before Silver Fullpasta could voice his doubts, the other demons were excited to see Moen hide the "Book of END." The "Strongest Demon END" held a very special meaning for them.
Legend has it that only this "Strongest Demon END" was recognized by Zeref, which is why "Hades" Maldo Gil valued this "Book of END" so much, and why he was able to establish the "Gate of Tartaros" in the name of END.
Many demons followed "Hades" Maldo Gil to join "Hades Gate" because of the title "Strongest Demon END," not because of Maldo Gil, the so-called "Hades."
They believed that as long as they followed "The Strongest Demon END," they could return to Zeref's side. Zeref acknowledged "The Strongest Demon END," and they obeyed "The Strongest Demon END." This was a roundabout way to achieve their goal! Tell me, did they achieve their objective?
Unfortunately, they knew nothing about "The Strongest Demon END" or "Hades" Maldo Gil, and were completely fooled by "Hades".
In fact, "Hades" Maldo Gil didn't know anything about "The Strongest Demon END," but he never expected to do anything with "END." He just used this name to gather "demon hearts" and slowly train these demons together.
Over the years, some of these demons have actually been trained by "Hades" Maldo Gil, and have even begun to follow Maldo Gil's lead.
This is quite normal. After all, they've been together for hundreds of years. No matter how bad Maldo Gil's methods are, he should have built up some authority by now.
"Go to hell!"
Ethel's four arms transformed into four long swords, and his eight legs, which resembled octopus tentacles, swung in unison, charging straight at Moen. The four long swords that his arms had transformed into were aimed directly at Moen's head.
"Snap!"
Moen swung his right hand, as if slashing with a chopstick, and with a series of cracking sounds, all four arms of Child Che Ethel were severed, and the strange-looking demon stopped moving.
The next second, Child-Cut Ethel exploded, cut into countless pieces, and another demon returned to the "Core of Hell".
The six demons—the Jackal, the Dark Trafalgar, the "Black Monk" Keith, the Cool Moon Sky Sera, the Armored Franmars, and the Storm—were now in a dilemma. They couldn't advance to defeat them, nor could they escape. Moreover, due to Silver Fullpasta's betrayal, their lair and secrets had been exposed.
In this situation, if they die, they are basically truly dead, since Moen Doraeus will definitely destroy the "Hell Core," rendering their resurrection methods completely ineffective.
"There's another way..."
""
The lush green Franmars looked at "Black Monk" Keith, whose one-eyed green demon eyes were filled with malice.
"Once the skeleton dies, that silver will die too. For everyone's survival, Keith, you go first!"
Franmars grasped the key point: the reason they were at a loss and not as arrogant as before was because of the existence of "Silver Fullpasta". As long as this problem is solved, they can still be resurrected, or at worst, they can return to the "Core of Hell".
Killing Silver Fullpasta directly is definitely unrealistic now, as evidenced by the deaths of Xinglitian Kuanghua and Tongziqie Ethel. They were simply unable to kill Silver Fullpasta, who was being protected by Moen, or even get close to him.
The difference in strength between the two sides was so great that it was like a top-tier mage standing next to an ordinary person. The ordinary person would have no chance against Moen, a top-tier mage.
"Then what are you waiting for?!"
As soon as the heavily armored Franmars uttered these words, the jackal immediately responded. The jackal, who had just been blown out of its mind, reached out and grabbed the shoulder of "Black Monk" Keith.
This is no greeting. If the jackal touches him, "Black Monk" Keith will be blown to bits. The jackal uses "explosive magic," and everything it touches will explode.
"Buzz!!!"
"Black Monk" Keith was clearly not mentally prepared to sacrifice himself for everyone, so he would not sit idly by and wait for his doom.
The heavily armored Franmars was right. Although he could no longer control Silver Fullbuster, once he died, the Silver Fullbuster he had resurrected would also die. This was inevitable; Silver Fullbuster could not break free from this connection.
It cannot be severed.
The jackal's attack passed right through the body of "Black Monk" Keith, but it did not cause him any damage or cause an explosion. "Black Monk" Keith is proficient in "Necromantic Spells" and "Dark Spells". This kind of etherealization that can ignore physical damage is his specialty in dealing with sudden attacks.
"Keith! So what if you die first?! You can still be resurrected, can't you?! Just disable your abilities!"
Liangyuetian Sera anxiously questioned "Black Monk" Keith, explaining that they hadn't really prevented "Black Monk" Keith from ever being resurrected; they had only sent him back to the "Core of Hell." As long as "Silver Fullpasta" was destroyed, everyone could live.
"Resurrecting from the core of hell comes at a price; I will lose my memories, which is something I cannot accept."
"The Dark Monk" Keith's voice was very calm. To the other demons, losing a little memory was insignificant. They had hundreds of years of memories, and there were many things they didn't even remember themselves. A little more wouldn't matter; it wouldn't have any impact.
But Keith the Dark Monk is obsessed with magical research. He values his memories highly and is unwilling to give them up. He cannot accept losing any of his memories.
"What time is it! You're still bothered by those memories!"
"Sharkman" Trafalgar was driven mad by "Black Monk" Keith. If this continued, everyone would be dead. Were they really willing to risk their lives for a little bit of memory?!
"Buzz!"
"Black Monk" Keith ignored the other demons. He activated a spell, opened a portal, and was about to leave. He wanted the other demons to buy him time.
"You're all going to scatter when disaster strikes, how united you are!"
Moen sighed, but he didn't stop "Black Monk" Keith from leaving, letting the guy live a little longer.
Of course, Moen had already left a psychic mark on the skull, so this guy couldn't escape even if he ran to the ends of the earth.
"Buzz!"
Moen activated his [Cosmos], and a golden light burst forth, illuminating the demons so brightly that they couldn't even look directly at him.
In the blink of an eye, Moen's figure flickered and disappeared.
Liangyue Tian Sera, Huiming Trafza, Jackal, Armored Franmars, and Stormy Storm unleashed their various abilities as if in response, trying to stop Moen and make a final desperate gamble.
However, Moen's power was far too abnormal for them. Just like when Gildarts faced the "Black Dragon," he was almost killed in just one exchange with a casual strike. The difference in power between the two sides was too great.
"boom!"
With almost no suspense, the frantic counterattacks of Liangyuetian Sera and the Jackal demons had no effect whatsoever. Amidst the flashing golden light, the demons were easily killed by Moen.
"Let's go, let's finish up."
After dealing with a few demons, Moen looked at Silver Fullpasta.
"We can't let Keith get away with this; that guy is the most evil!"
Silver Fullpasta was somewhat excited. Of the members of the "Gate of the Underworld," only the "Black Monk" Keith remained, and that guy absolutely could not be let go; he had to be killed!
Silver Fullpasta was resurrected by the "Black Monk" Keith, so his hatred for Keith is the most direct. At first, he was unable to break free from Keith's control and was manipulated by that guy to do many bad things, which is Silver Fullpasta's pain.
"Don't worry, I won't let him go, but I can't kill him now. I need your help."
Moen nodded; he could understand Silver Fullpasta's mindset.
"Phew~ I'm sorry, President Moen, I lost my composure."
Faced with the calm Moen, Silver Fullpasta took a deep breath and calmed himself down as well.
It's definitely not time to kill Keith, because that would ruin the whole situation. He's not afraid of death; he's already died once. He's only afraid of not being able to eradicate evil completely, and he only hates that he can't completely eliminate the "Gates of the Underworld."
Having mastered the "Ice Demon Extermination Technique," Silver Fullpasta's only dream is to eliminate all demons. Now, seeing the demon army "Gate of the Underworld" about to be completely destroyed, it's normal for him to be overwhelmed with emotion. From his perspective, it all feels like a beautiful dream.
Filled with that surging emotion, Silver Fullpaster led Moen all the way to their "Gateway to the Underworld" headquarters, where they saw that incredibly strange floating island.
