I'm The Devil - Chapter 305

Chapter 305: The Long Awaited Fight
The Skies of the Pangu Realm—Breaking Apart

Above Devil’s Peak, the sky shuddered.

At first, it was a subtle shift—like the heavens themselves were holding their breath. But then—

Crack.

A jagged tear ripped through the sky, stretching wide like a festering wound in reality itself. Scarlet lightning flashed, illuminating the dark abyss beyond the rift.

And from that abyss—they came.

The first to emerge were the monstrosities.

Massive, grotesque things with twisted, shifting forms—some with dozens of writhing limbs, others with faceless heads that split open into gaping maws. Their bodies were dripping with corruption, their presence alone causing the very air to distort.

The moment they arrived, the entire Pangu Realm trembled.

Nezha’s grip tightened around his spear. “Tch… Disgusting things.”

Sun Wukong spun his staff over his shoulder, lips curled in mild disgust. “I hate looking at these things.”

Loki exhaled, a rare frown on his face. “…Outer Gods. Of course, he called them.”

And then—the real threats arrived.

Five figures stepped through the rift, walking as if they owned the battlefield.

They didn’t have the mindless, grotesque forms of the others. No—they were humanoid. Their movements were graceful, confident. Their power—immeasurable.

Each of them radiated an aura so suffocating that the very clouds above twisted violently, pulled into unnatural patterns by their presence.

And finally—

Satanael stepped through.

His once-fallen angel form was now something else entirely.

His wings—once proud and white—were now massive, jagged, and tainted with abyssal darkness. His golden tattoos pulsed like living veins of power, his skin crackling with the energy of the Outer Gods.

And his eyes.

His once-bright celestial gaze had been replaced by something unnatural. Something deep, endless, and completely inhuman.

He floated above the battlefield, looking down at Lucifer with a cold, knowing smirk.

“Brother.”

Lucifer stayed seated on his throne.

Unbothered. Unimpressed.

He leaned his chin against his hand, one leg casually crossed over the other, his crimson gaze filled with amusement.

“You look awful.”

Satanael’s smirk twitched. “…Still as arrogant as ever, I see.”

Lucifer sighed dramatically. “And you’re still trying too hard.” He tilted his head, gesturing lazily to the horde of creatures. “This your grand army? A bunch of eldritch rejects?”

The monstrosities howled.

But Satanael just grinned. “This ‘grand army’… will consume this realm. And then, the next. And the next. Until there is nothing left.”

He stretched his arms out, his power flaring. The air itself began to break apart around him, distorting under the sheer weight of his presence.

“You always thought you were better than me, Lucifer.” His grin widened, his voice filled with dangerous confidence. “Let’s see if that’s still true.”

Lucifer exhaled, shaking his head.

Then—he stood.

The moment he did—the entire battlefield shifted.

The wind stopped.

The trembling earth went still.

And the weight of his presence alone sent a pulse through the entire realm.

Loki took a slow step back, whistling. “Oh. Now he’s serious.”

Nezha gripped his spear tighter, his eyes never leaving Lucifer. “…I can’t even tell how deep his power goes.”

Sun Wukong just grinned. “This is gonna be good.”

Lucifer rolled his shoulders, tilting his head slightly.

His red eyes gleamed.

“Alright, then.”

He raised a single hand—and the skies burned crimson.

“Let’s dance.”

The sky burned crimson. The air cracked with raw, suffocating energy.

Lucifer had just stood, his mere presence sending a ripple through the entire realm.

Satanael and his army stood ready. The monstrosities twisted and convulsed, eager to consume everything in their path. The five humanoid figures beside Satanael watched with cold, unreadable expressions.

The battle was about to begin—

Until Loki stepped forward.

He appeared casually in front of Lucifer, spinning his staff lazily in one hand, a smirk tugging at his lips.

“Now, now, let’s not be too hasty.”

The battlefield fell into momentary silence as all eyes turned to him.

Loki sighed, shaking his head dramatically. “I mean, really. We just got here, and you’re already about to go all out?” He gestured toward the massive armies on both sides, his green cloak billowing in the unnatural wind.

Then, he turned to Satanael, his grin widening.

“How about a little warm-up instead?”

Satanael narrowed his eyes. “What are you getting at?”

Loki spread his arms like it was obvious. “Why not let your army fight against itself for a bit? You know, let them clash, tear each other apart, and make it a real show before we step in.”

The monstrosities behind Satanael growled, their grotesque forms twitching in agitation. The five figures at his side exchanged glances, their expressions unreadable.

Loki tilted his head, his smirk playful but sharp. “Think about it. Wouldn’t it be more… fun?”

Satanael stared at him for a long moment. Then, he scoffed. “You really do love chaos, don’t you?”

Loki grinned. “It’s in my nature.”

Behind him, Lucifer suddenly laughed.

A low, amused chuckle at first—then it grew, rich and full of genuine entertainment.

He clapped his hands together once, his red eyes gleaming. “You know… that actually was the plan.”

Loki raised a brow. “Oh?”

Lucifer exhaled, shaking his head with a smirk. “Yeah. I wanted to sit back, let the armies rip into each other first. Would’ve been fun to watch.”

Then—his smirk faded slightly.

He turned his gaze toward Satanael. “But then I saw his face, and I changed my mind.”

The air grew heavier.

Satanael’s expression darkened. “Oh?”

Lucifer’s smirk returned, but it was sharper this time—almost dangerous.

“Yeah. Turns out, the mere sight of you pisses me off.”

And then—

The entire battlefield exploded.

Lucifer vanished from where he stood—

And reappeared inches from Satanael.

Their clash shook the heavens.

Beyond Reality—The Domain of the Outer Gods

Outer space? No.

This place wasn’t space. It was something beyond it.

A vast, endless expanse stretched infinitely in all directions, filled with colors that shouldn’t exist. Shapes twisted and unraveled, spirals of time and matter collapsing into themselves, reforming, then distorting again.

The stars here didn’t shine—they pulsed, alive and watching. Some bled black light, others hummed with whispers that could drive mortals insane.

And at the center of it all—they watched.

The Outer Gods.

Colossal entities, some too vast to comprehend, others shifting between forms that broke the mind just by existing. Their eyes—if they even had eyes—were locked onto the unfolding battle in the lower realms.

One of them, a massive shadowed being with infinite tendrils, rumbled in amusement. “The game begins anew.”

A figure draped in a cloak made of shifting constellations exhaled, their voice a mix of static and forgotten languages. “This cycle is interesting. The Fallen One has yet to break.”

Another, a being with a thousand golden masks, let out a whispering chuckle. “Perhaps he will. Perhaps he won’t. Either way, the feast draws near.”

Beyond them, something even greater stirred.

A presence that dwarfed even the Outer Gods themselves.

An unmoving entity at the center of this chaos, a thing so vast, so ancient, that even the Outer Gods dared not speak its name aloud. A sleeping hunger.

The Outer Gods continued watching as Lucifer and Satanael clashed, their battle shaking the divine realms.

One of the Gods let out a distorted sigh. “Shall we interfere?”

Another, its form resembling a tower made of writhing flesh and eyes, pulsed with slow amusement. “Not yet. Let them fight. Let them break.”

The stars twisted. The void pulsed.

And the Outer Gods waited.
