As a former owner of the Demonic Realm, Hellcard had great influence over Heaven as well.

He was so powerful that the great god at the time wrote in his will that the seal around Hellcard must never be lifted.

But they wanted to wake Hellcard now.

It was no wonder it sounded like nonsense.

But the blonde god was unshaken by the reactions of the Dionysus Gods.

“You can’t think of Hellcard as Hellcard from the past. Much time has passed, which means his magic energy has weakened. He’s as weak as he could ever be.”

“But he’s still Hellcard. If he happens to regain his magic energy quickly…”

“He’ll be as weak as a small child once the seal is lifted. So as long as we pose restrictions on him, there shouldn’t be problems.”

“But…”

“There are no restrictions to regulations we can put on sealed devils. There’s no problem. Wouldn’t you agree?”

The blonde god asked with a smile.

The Dionysus Gods remained silent.

That meant they were thinking seriously about what he just said, and that suggested that they were trying to accept it as a result.

The Dionysus Gods whispered to each other and shared their opinions.

And when the blonde god saw this, he smiled brightly.

***

The rain stopped.

The dark clouds were slowly disappearing from the sky.

It appeared that a blue sky could be seen the next day.

Min Sung scanned the sight where there was no end to the bodies of the devils.

This was Earth, but the way the dead devils lied on the ground made it seem like the Demonic Realm.

[As a result of the devils’ deaths, the Demonic Realm is growing weaker.]

[You must rebuild the Demonic Realm.]

[The devil king will go extinct when the Demonic Realm grows weak.]

He received multiple alert messages since he was the owner of the Demonic Realm.

Min Sung saw the message warning him of his extinction and smirked.

It had been a long time.

Despite 100 years having passed, his body hadn’t aged.

It was possible that he could return to Earth and age naturally as time passed, but he didn’t think it would be so bad to go extinct with the Demonic Realm either.

He felt sad about not being able to eat three meals a day, but he had eaten a lot during his time on Earth.

Min Sung laughed bitterly and shook his hand.

As a result, the passageway between Earth and the Demonic Realm closed.

Ho Sung Lee sighed out of relief that it was all over, and Min Sung commanded for Repone, who looked exhausted, to take down the magic barrier.

As soon as Bowl delivered the message, the magic barrier disappeared.

Min Sung ordered Ho Sung Lee to summon a healer to treat Bowl and Repone and told Ho Sung Lee to get some rest.

Now that the devils were all dead, the pressure and the atmosphere of wanting to kill disappeared.

Min Sung called Commander Ji Yoo Kim of Central Institute and asked her to put the investigation off the site.

That was because Bowl was going to collect the bodies of the devils.

***

The blonde god entered the Demonic Realm with the Dionysus Gods.

They bad blocked Veld from being able to enter the Demonic Realm from Heaven, but since the owner had changed, that block was now withdrawn.

“The new owner of the Demonic Realm must not care about this place,” said the blonde god with a smile, and that made the Dionysus Gods feel more positive.

Since they had suffered much damage trying to catch Min Sung Kang, they felt pressured by the fact that he was now the owner of the Demonic Realm.

Most importantly, if they happened to run into Min Sung Kang after how much power they gave to Veld, the Dionysus Gods would be in trouble if they got into a fight.

If Min Sung Kang made up his mind to fight to Dionysus Gods, Heaven would be at a disadvantage.

For that reason, the Dionysus Gods hoped that Min Sung Kang wouldn’t appear, and seeing from what they saw, it appeared that Min Sung Kang had abandoned the Demonic Realm and decided to stay on Earth.

But the fact that they never knew when he would come back made them feel anxious.

“It should be near here. Oh, it’s that way.”

The blonde god pointed in the northern direction.

There was a large rock there, and in front of it was a tombstone wrapped in chains.

The tombstone read, ‘Hellcard’, and it also warned that the seal must never be lifted.

The Dionysus Gods stared at the tombstone with nervous faces.

Despite being in front of Hellcard’s tombstone after coming to the Demonic Realm, they still couldn’t believe it with their own eyes.

Only the blonde god was smiling at the sealed tombstone of Hellcard.

“Shall we finally lift the seal after 2 years?”

As soon as the blonde god said that as he walked toward the tombstone, the Dionysus Gods gulped and their faces grew dark.

The blonde god took out a glove that was blessed by the great god from his pocket.

This glove was the key to lifting the seal.

Just as the blonde god put on the glove and reached out his hand.

“Are you sure the great god allowed this?”

One Dionysus God asked.

And in response, the blonde god smiled and looked back at him.

“Of course.”

The blonde god then glared at the Dionysus Gods coldly.

“I thought we already came to an agreement, but it doesn’t look like you’ve all accepted it.”

He then lowered his hand.

“Are you trying to dodge the responsibility of this problem?”

The Dionysus Gods tried to avoid his gaze.

“Then we’ll stop. My job is to simply report to the great god. As for the price of the mess you’ve caused…”

“N-no, lift the seal.”

“Lift the seal.”

The Dionysus Gods spoke up with upright postures.

The blonde god sighed out of pity and then grabbed onto the chains with his gloved hand.

As soon as he did…

Zapppppp!

A powerful dark lightning flashed in all directions.

The Dionysus Gods flinched and stepped back.

The records of Hellcard was enough to make all the Dionysus Gods shake in fear.

He was a devil king with such powerful combat ability that he even put the great god at risk of extinction.

And the seal was now going to be lifted from the devil king, Hellcard, who was once called the darkness in its entirety.

For that reason, the Dionysus Gods held their breath as the blonde god lifted the seal.

Kaboom!

The skies of the Demonic Realm began to erupt thunderously and spit out balls of flames.

And the surroundings of the tombstone turned completely black.

Rumble!

The rock behind the tombstone vibrated and then…

Kaboommmmm!

The rock exploded into countless pieces, and the chains in the blonde god’s hand began to tremble so quickly that it made loud clanging noises.

Despite the dark light that flowed out of the blonde god’s eyes due to the magic energy, he clenched his teeth and grabbed onto the chains with all the power given to him by Heaven.

Crackkk!

The tombstone began to crack and the pieces began to fall to the ground.

This was the anticipation of finally being able to see Hellcard’s seal being lifted.

Just as the blonde god smiled…

Crackkk!

A very long crack formed in the tombstone.

At that moment…

Crack!

The tombstone completely cracked, and the chain wrapped around the blonde god’s right arm.

As soon as the tombstone cracked, a black magic square appeared on the ground.

The blonde god looked down at the magic square and walked toward it.

As he walked toward the center of the magic square, the chains wrapped around his arm made heavy noises.

Upon stepping onto the center of the black magic square, the blonde god looked back at the Dionysus Gods.

He looked at them to ask if they were ready, and the Dionysus Gods all nodded.

In response, the blonde god threw the chains that were wrapped around his arm.

As a result, the chains dropped to the ground, and the blonde god looked down at the magic square and lifted his hands in the air.

That was when the air ripped and a pickax dropped from it.

The blonde god grabbed onto the pickax with widened eyes and stabbed it into the center of the black magic square.

Thuddd!

As soon as the pickax stabbed into it, the black magic square began to transform.

The blonde god didn’t stop and continued to stab it with the pickax, and as the black magic square became destroyed, the ground underneath it cracked.

By the time he stabbed it 12 times, the black ground split apart, and a wooden casket appeared from it.

The blonde god snickered at the casket and ordered the Dionysus Gods to open the lid.

The Dionysus Gods hesitated, but after exchanging glances, they headed toward the casket.

They carefully opened the lid and threw the lid to the ground.

Inside the casket was a body that was wrapped up in white bandages except for his eyes.

He was the former owner of the Demonic Realm, Hellcard, who had been sealed up for 2 years.

After realizing that his seal was lifted, they instinctively trembled in fear.

Despite Hellcard still having his eyes closed, the magic energy that his body contained was powerful enough to be sensed.

But the blonde god looked down at Hellcard calmly. He took out a document from his jacket and ripped it while glaring down at him.

A white light absorbed into Hellcard, and at that moment…

… Hellcard opened his eyes.
