Elizabeth''s body shook, not just from the physical toll of her transformation, but from the sheer intensity of her hatred. Every word he spoke fanned the flames of her anger, consuming what little rationality she had left. Her scythe, now soaked in the blood of her brother, pulsed with an almost sentient fury.

    She glared up at him through bloodshot eyes.

    ''How could someone be this heartless? ''she thought.

    The memory of her brother''s last moments flashed before her, the way his body convulsed, the helplessness she felt as he crumbled to pieces. All of it—his death, her powerlessness—was his fault.

    "You''re a monster," she spat, her voice raw with emotion. "Not just a demon, but something worse. I will make you pay, even if it kills me."

    Reign chuckled, a low and menacing sound that only fueled her loathing. "You''re welcome to try. But I''ve seen your best. And it''s not enough."

    Her grip tightened around the scythe, and the ground beneath her cracked as her aura rose again.

    "You think this is over?" she growled, her voice trembling with rage. "I''ll hunt you to the ends of this world. You''ll never escape me."

    Reign''s smirk widened, his cold eyes locking onto hers. "Bold of you to assume that I won''t kill you right now."

    He raised his index finger and pointed it at her forehead. A faint glow of dark energy flickered at the tip of his finger, humming with lethal intent.@@@@

    Elizabeth''s body was frozen in place. Her instincts screamed at her to move, to retaliate, but her legs refused to obey.

    The oppressive aura radiating from him was suffocating, pinning her to the spot like an insect caught under glass.

    "One flick," he said softly, his voice devoid of emotion. "That''s all it would take to end you, just like your brother."

    Her eyes widened at his words, her hatred mixing with fear. The mention of her brother''s death struck a nerve so deep it made her more impulsive .Her hands tightened around her scythe, and she forced herself to glare at him.

    Days passed, and without the demons'' help, the cities in the west were being destroyed even faster. The dark miasma that had once covered the region started to disappear, but what it revealed was far worse.

    The land had turned into a burning wasteland of molten rock, completely taken over by the Hell Army.

    Another city became their next target, led by one of the Devil Generals.

    The devils expected an easy victory, just like before. But after they destroyed the city walls, something unexpected happened.

    Laser beams shot down from the sky, cutting through the devils. The attack wiped out large portions of the Hell Army in seconds

    The Devil General in charge tried to fight back, but his efforts were in vain. He met a humiliating end, dying like a dog, unable even to see the face of the one who killed him.

    From above, Reign descended, landing amidst the corpses.

    His goal was simple—to absorb the corpses, gain as much power as possible, and finally break through to the Peak Demon God Level.

    After that, he planned to reach the next rank—the one Lilith currently held. With it, he would gain consistent access to the Void power, unlocking its potential.

    His original body was powerful, but it had its limits. Reign remembered the power of his meta-human body, and in his opinion, once he gained full control of the void, he would become nearly unstoppable—a true god.

    ''This is taking way too long,'' he muttered to himself.

    Even after destroying a whole army, he hadn''t made enough progress. The amount of vitality he needed to reach Peak Demon God Level was growing harder to achieve.

    ''I need to kill more devils,''

    Without wasting any more time, he activated his upgraded teleportation artifact, designed for more efficient travel. He had even collaborated with Central City to get the precise coordinates of their cities by combining their teleportation technology with his own through the system.
