Chapter 1838 The Necrotic Plane Ruler's Frustration

-----

Within the confines of the Nether Void, where the Ruler of the Necrotic Realm inhabited, the entity was squirming as his body was feeling a sharp pain. Just some hours ago his plan to devour the entire world of Grand Terra went terribly wrong, and Kireina and her allies were able to stop him before it were to happen, including the mysterious new helpers that appeared around the that world.

"It would had been fine if she broke the first black crystal but how come there were other people aware of their existence, and strong enough to shatter them?!" He roared with fury. "Unnggh… And this damn wound she left on my eye! I cannot take it off, it won't heal… She left something, there's something inside of my soul and body…!"

Kireina had left him "a farewell gift" before closing the Gates of the Nether Void. He had originally thought it was merely a powerful attack, but instead it was something much more vile. A strange mass of energy and powerful divinity that was stuck on his enormous, infinitely gigantic body.

No matter how much his body tried to reject this, it wouldn't work. This small parasite, made out of Kireina's own Soul, hid within his own body, and continued slowly gnawing at him, bite by bite.

"Kireina… You damn bastard! This is not over yet. Although you've managed to close the Gate, my body parts already are within Grand Terra. It is a matter of time before they absorb that world's powers and open a new Gate, just you wait!"

Meanwhile, within the faraway and cold lands of the Demon Kingdom, the castle of the Demon King was in a small commotion. The Demon King himself was furious as he glanced down at the Blue Genie, an ancient "failed" attempt at making a God by the Ancient Gods.

"You've failed me. I've granted you powers, I've given you Cosmic Stones, yet the only thing you bring to me is defeat?" Laughed the Demon King. "Now, give me a good reason why shouldn't I devour you?"

While all the Demon Lords held a Deadly Sin, the one that the Demon King had was the strongest, the Deadly Sin of Gluttony made him into the monstrous being he was now. Unlike other Demons, his past was much different, having raised to the stage he was now after having evolved from a monster born in the pools of Miasma left around the decaying Ancient Gods corpses.

In a harsh country such as the Demon Kingdom, the Demon King is decided by who is the strongest. The previous one must be defeated and killed for a new one to emerge. It doesn't even follow normal Kingdom procedures such as having royal families, or anything like that.

The only thing that matters in this harsh country is who is strong enough to abuse others, and who is the weak and abused one.

"I had no idea Kireina and those damned slaves she has with her would figure out a way to save that Summoner!" Said the Genie. Unlike the Demon King's servants, he wasn't nice with him, and treated him like an equal, if not someone below him. "Honestly, I was also betrayed by the Spirit I contracted to possess her. It was a powerful Death Attribute Spirit from another world… to think it ended being a Goddess from that Kireina's original world. Well, that still worked on my favor but… At the end, she and her damned sponsor attempted to invade the world and devour it."

"I know. I was rather surprised myself. I simply couldn't let him just invade my own world, which will be only mine to devour." The Demon King sighed, his red eyes glowing brightly beneath his black armor helmet. "That's why I shattered that black crystal that suddenly appeared here. I suppose for a moment, I had to aid my own enemies, how ironic. And it is all up to your incompetence."

"Well, our deal was simply to try to kill Kireina. I don't owe you a single thing, Demon King." Said the Genie. "Kireina's life will be mine, and you don't have anything to do with it."

"Hoh, do you remember who was the one that gave you those powers and more?" The Demon King asked. "You're a rather ungrateful fool. But fine, do as you wish. Let's see where your story ends now. By Kireina's jaws, or by my own." Laughed the Demon King.

"Shut up! I don't have to fear nor care about a child like you! I was born in this world millions of years ago!" The Arrogant Genie said, as his connection with the Demon King's special device to communicate from long distances was cut off.

Several entities with the Demon King, beings that served him with utmost royalty seemed angered over the disrespect the Genie showed against his powerful presence.

"That Genie… Maybe we shall devour him whole…" A mass of slimy liquid said, shaping itself into the form of a maiden. "My Lord, allow me to destroy him."

"Sshhhh… We should just kill him! How dares he treats you this way…!" The angered snake-like lady groaned furiously.

"Maybe we should go torture him and on the way, kill that pest before it gets here and ruin our peaceful life." Sighed a gloomy-looking witch with gray skin, covered on black clothes.

"No." The Demon King said. "He's still a useful pawn. If we can use him to at least measure Kireina's capabilities a bit better, or at least to weaken her, then he'll have some use."

The Demon King looked into the faraway horizon, as a gigantic tentacle he had caught just some seconds ago squirmed around.

"And we've still got ourselves a nice meal to have here." Laughed the Demon King. "This Failed Invasion truly brought quite… the unique ingredients to my table. "I wonder what powers I could obtain by devouring this…" A sharp smile emerged on his lips, as his red eyes glanced at the immobilized otherworldly tentacle with great hunger.
