“…I don’t think it’s a crab, though.”
“Then there’s nothing we can do.”
Clang!
Wielding the Red Carapace Hammer, it swings with a flourish.
As the mock holiness spreads around Gabriel, the hammer crashes, and the highest level of the shrine explodes.
At last, Gabriel cloaked in holiness soars high into the sky…
“Stop!”
“?”
“That’s enough. Please cease the attack.”
“Aren’t you going to fight anymore?”
Just a moment ago, it seemed rather serious.
[Scared, huh?]
[Lol]
[Aw, come on]
[Scared?]
“…If you display any further hostile actions, we will have no choice but to act.”
“I don’t mind if you do.”
“Not you.”
The Celestial Sphere Eden is a place where many Celestial beings gather.
While other archangels and the deity of this place, ‘the Lord,’ are currently not present, their influence permeates throughout the tower.
“It’s a bit ridiculous, but your celestial being probably isn’t as strong as you. What would happen if I moved other archangels to attack you?”
“……”
“Just so you know, thinking that this is all the power of Eden would be a mistake. There are several archangels here stronger than I am, and the power of the Lord, no matter how you are…!”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Who’s protecting Gapwoo?
Unless a swarm of deities rush in or the master of the tower personally tries to eliminate Gapwoo, any regular attack won’t be effective.
If Karabus can’t stop it, Lasty would have her way.
[One Wearing a Carapace reluctantly nods.]
“See? Even my celestial being says it’s fine.”
“……”
“Then how about we change it?”
“…It’s not something I can change at will.”
“Then?”
“The decree of the Celestial Sphere is determined by the World Power of the ‘Tower’ that governs this vast universe. Only the master of the tower and the celestial being can alter it.”
In other words.
“While you might be able to defeat us, changing the name is out of the question.”
“Is that so?”
“That’s right. So that kind of nonsensical proposal…”
“Then I guess I’ll have to request it from the master. Where can I meet them?”
“…Have you lost your mind?”
“I seem perfectly fine.”
To change a name, one would have to meet the deity.
So, logically, a connection with the deity must be requested.
[Lolololol]
[Oh, come on! Where’s the lord or whatever?]
[But if they’re the lord of Eden, doesn’t that mean… ?]
[My Lord, wow]
[Big relieve]
[One Wearing a Carapace is anxious.]
[One Who Opens Their Eyes quietly contemplates the situation.]
“You’re carelessly disrespecting the name of God.”
“So are you going to let me meet Him or not?”
“…The kind of person who wants to meet can meet.”
Clang.
“What are you doing?”
“If he doesn’t come, I’ll have to call him.”
He grabs a hammer.
The shield he felt while passing through this place.
When he swung the hammer at Eden’s shield made of colossal world power, the entire Garden of Eden trembled.
Gabriel tried to block me with a gasp, but her powers were no match for me.
Crash!
The shield was completely shattered, but in the end, the god of this place, ‘Lord’, did not appear.
“He’s really not showing up.”
“Then shall I lie?!”
“Hmm… I can’t destroy everything.”
This is a bit unexpected.
No matter how powerful a god may be, it’s hard to find Him if He doesn’t even show His face.
This place is not just a tower but a maze of various spaces and dimensions.
After a brief moment of pondering, I reached a conclusion.
“Now, if you’re really going…”
“Then let’s do it that way.”
“?”
■
“Done. Now it looks nice.”
“What kind of wicked deed is this!!!”
“This crazy angel…”
Crunch!!
The low-class fake demon who just spewed nonsense was squished flat.
Of course, he didn’t die, and after some time, he would regenerate, but one must pay the price for nonsense.
This place is the celestial sphere, the 72 realms of ‘Hell’.
The low-class demons living in Andromalius’s castle, ranked 72, were glaring at me in horror.
“Why refuse when I’m offering an interior design?”
“Are you insane? How dare you change the great Lord Andromalius’s castle like this!”
What’s wrong with this?
I looked at the newly sprung ‘Crab’s Castle,’ which was clearly better than the old 72 demon’s castle, with satisfaction.
Unlike the past, filled with ominous human skull decorations and blood-stained embellishments, the current Andromalius’s castle was truly neat.
Outside the castle, instead of blood-soaked earth, a blue sea spread out, and inside the castle, instead of gloomy skeletons and snakes, red crabs scuttled about.
And the once grim castle had transformed into a sparkling sand castle.
‘This is a massive improvement.’
For reference, Eden will also be redone in the same way on the way back.
[One Who Serves the Light sheds tears of blood.]
[One Wearing a Carapace awkwardly offers an apology…]
[One Who Serves the Light glares at One Wearing a Carapace in anger!]
[One Who Opens Their Eyes says that anger is fleeting.]
[LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL]
[Crazy woman]
[From now on, this is the Crab Celestial Sphere]
[Can’t change the name? Yeah, just change the land~]
[It’s better than before, yeah]
[Ah LOL, if you’re mad, then just win]
[Buddha is so funny]
[LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL]
[Eden has turned into Crab Garden LOL]
[Boy Lily]
Kuwung!
From the pretty sandcastle, a giant snake radiating red energy crawls out.
It seems to possess a sinister aura, at least an upper god.
“What the hell is this…! Are you insane?! You’re just a Challenger!!”
“Isn’t it pretty?”
“I’ll kill you!!”
Kwagagagaga!!
From the snake’s mouth, mock magic pours out.
The painstakingly decorated sandcastle is corroded by the magic, and the Red Crabs scurry away in shock.
Just as the arm made of magic from the snake reaches me.
“Yap.”
Kwadizik!!
The snake flies into a decorative shell and merges with it.
“……”
“You must be busy. To go through all 72 Demon Realms. Do I just need to change them?”
I sighed deeply and opened the Demon Realm guide I received from the Raccoon.
Next up, rank 71, Dantalion…
■
After wandering through the Demon Realms, I finally arrived at rank 2, Agareth’s realm.
I originally planned to carefully change the realm, face each realm’s master, and move on.
But it took way too long, and unlike Eden, there are a whopping 72 realms, so I decided to change my approach.
First, I’ll knock everyone out and then turn the Demon Castle into Crab Castle.
Then wake the master and finish the fight within 30 seconds before moving to the next realm.
Though they have a fancy name of being the masters of the realm, their strength was only between upper god and supreme god, which even the Raccoon and Leo could handle.
‘Even though they are mock versions, they’re still too weak.’
Gabriel I met right away was like that, and all the 72 demons I encountered so far were just named and demon race but didn’t compare in strength.
[Demon level]
[They’re really weak LOL]
[Just two steps away from turning ‘Crab Celestial Sphere’]
[Is Lily just crazy?]
[Deoen demons are decent though]
[But rank 2 is still named]
Ta-gak.
“Hmm?”
“You are the one who invaded the Demon Realm.”
As I unleashed a wave to knock everyone out, I tilted my head.
Not a single demon has ever withstood the ‘Fainting Wave’ powered by the Holy, but now there is one who has.
An old man riding a blood-red crocodile with strange birds perched on his shoulders.
Though he bears a resemblance to a person, he is absolutely not one; he was glaring at me, filled with ominous magic.
“O being more demonic than demons. You have made two mistakes today.”
“Mistakes?”
“First, you showed mercy despite daring to invade the realm of the Great Demon.”
The second is…
Kwaaaaarrrrkk!!
“?”
One Wearing a Carapace is startled.
One Who Serves the Light hastily orders to kill that arrogant one!
One Who Opens Their Eyes anticipates your response.
[??]
[?]
[What the hell?]
The sky turns red.
All the demons existing in the demon realm kneel in worship of a singular being, and the red rising moon splits, revealing its form beyond dimensions.
A being worshiped by all demons.
The ‘God’, known as the true master of the Hell and the Celestial Sphere — Baal.
“They say that the great ‘Baal’ has descended!!”
The might of the God of Hell, Baal, crushes the demon realm.
In an instant, my body shakes violently as the red crabs I desperately prepared burst into smithereens.
‘At least on par with the Buddha.’
No, this is Baal’s land, the demon realm, so his power is stronger than any god on the tower.
Even Gapwoo, supported by Karabus, would find the opponent overwhelming.
Baal’s true words shook the entire demon realm, showcasing a might that even the kneeling demons trembled before.
—How dare… an angel act above its station.
“I’m not an angel, you know.”
—Shut up!
Baal, demonstrating the power of an Intermediate Demon, transforms his words into sheer force, which metamorphoses into a gigantic spear.
A spear large enough to cover the entire sky of the vicinity.
One Wearing a Carapace warns of danger!
One Who Serves the Light insists to kill him quickly…
‘Origin of the Explosion.’
Kwaaaang!!!
Baal’s spear detonates and erupts.
Baal, who watches blankly at the shattered pieces of the spear, utters:
“That’s not how you use a spear.”
