Chapter 272 The Unification of the Sea of ​​Souls

After venting his emotions, Lucifer looked at the three demon leaders who were parasitized by the flesh buds. Now they had been completely drained by the flesh buds and died. All the power in their bodies had been condensed into a fruit by the flesh buds and appeared conspicuously in front of Lucifer.

Lucifer carefully plucked the fruit. As the fruit was removed, the fleshy buds and the corpses of the three demon leaders slowly petrified and eventually turned into dust, dissipating like smoke in this space.

Lucifer carefully put the hard-won fruit into his mouth, chewed it thoroughly, and swallowed it. In the blink of an eye, Lucifer's body began to be filled with surging soul power. With the help of the flesh bud, he didn't even need time to digest it before he completely absorbed the power of the other demon leaders.

In an instant, Lucifer's size exploded, transforming him into a terrifying demon even larger than Agreed. Feeling the immense energy within him, Lucifer murmured, "I hope this is enough to win." Then, he tore open a portal and returned to the Hellish realm.

At this moment, Agreed, who was searching the space, also discovered Lucifer's presence immediately. Before Lucifer could jump out of the portal, Agreed looked up and spat a breath of dragon fire into the portal that appeared out of nowhere. However, to his surprise, Agreed's dragon fire was transferred out by another portal and hit him. In just one encounter, Agreed was staggered by his own dragon fire.

Immediately afterward, Lucifer seized the opportunity and quickly ran out of the third portal, punching Agreed in the eye. Lucifer knew that as soon as he showed his face, he would be attacked by Agreed, so the portal was actually a deliberate opening. Now everything was just as Lucifer expected. He used this to turn the tables on Agreed and launched a series of counterattacks, establishing an advantage from the very beginning of the battle.

However, Lucifer can only use the portal to counterattack once, because Agreed's attacks are very fast and there is no time to react. This time he succeeded only because he was caught off guard and made a prediction.

After Agreed's eyes were destroyed, he didn't scream or cry out. After all, the pain of this minor injury was nothing compared to the burning of his soul. After being injured, Agreed immediately released his dragon might and roared to release a force field. As a result, Lucifer was instantly blasted away. Then, Agreed followed up with another attack and spewed out a breath of dragon fire. This time, Lucifer opened his mouth wide and swallowed the dragon fire. Unfortunately, the dragon fire exploded in his mouth again, but this time he did not suffer fatal damage like he did with the sin of Gluttony.

Seeing that a direct confrontation was not an option, Lucifer immediately transformed into a streak of light and launched a continuous barrage of attacks on Agreed at an extremely fast speed. At this moment, Agreed suddenly accelerated and grabbed Lucifer with a slap. With the blessing of divine power, both of them were fighting at speeds beyond reason. Their enormous size did not hinder them but instead made them even more destructive.

After capturing Lucifer, Agreed immediately exerted his power to gather divine energy in his hand, intending to obliterate Lucifer. However, Lucifer in his hand suddenly dissipated. It turned out that what had been surrounding Agreed was just a time illusion created with divine power.

Lucifer had already positioned himself directly in front of Agred, ready with his ultimate attack. At the same time, Lucifer unleashed his Sloth Domain. At Lucifer's current level, the Sloth Domain was enough to temporarily render Agred powerless. Agred's protective divine power and energy were completely sealed off. Then, Lucifer seized the opportunity and released his prepared finishing move, 'Morning Star'. In an instant, an entire universe was conjured by Lucifer and smashed into Agred. Because Agred had been stripped of all his power by the domain, he had no choice but to withstand this devastating attack.

The stars vanished and the universe was destroyed. A magnificent scene, enough to inspire a lifetime of reflection, rapidly evolved within minutes and ultimately vanished into nothingness. Hell was also utterly destroyed by this attack, and Agreed's figure disappeared completely afterward.

Lucifer stared nervously into the void. He knew that this attack could not possibly destroy the monster completely, but why had Agreed disappeared here? At this moment, a huge, pure white dragon that seemed to reach the sky suddenly appeared behind Lucifer.

At that critical moment, Agreed activated Nidhogg's true form, breaking through the Sloth Domain's sealing effect and easily blocking Lucifer's strongest attack. Sensing this, Lucifer slowly turned around and looked at the destructive dragon in front of him that filled him with despair, and could only shake his head and sigh helplessly.

Lucifer knew he had already lost. His attack just now was his only chance to win, and now that Agred hadn't been seriously injured, it meant he had no chance of turning the tide.

"I never imagined that all my planning and scheming, all my hard work and dedication, would ultimately... benefit someone else. I'm so unwilling to accept this." Lucifer stood there helplessly, muttering to himself.

Agreed looked down at him and asked, "Why did you stop fighting? Our battle is still undecided."

Lucifer smiled contemptuously and rationally judged, "There's no need to fight anymore. I've already lost. Don't forget I'm guilty of the sin of pride. I know my own limitations best. That last attack didn't even damage your scales, so there's no need to continue. Although I'm unwilling to accept this, I can still afford to lose! What's your name? I want to die knowing why."

"My name is Agreed, the one who was betrayed by the demons and ultimately perished under the siege of the gods."

Lucifer looked at Agreed with sudden realization, then laughed bitterly, "So it was you. Fate is a strange thing. Fine, dying at your hands is what I deserve, so there's nothing to regret. Losing to you... I accept it!"

Agreed opened his mouth wide and unleashed a breath of dragon fire. Lucifer, with his last shred of will to survive, mustered all his strength to fight back desperately, but was ultimately burned to ashes by the dragon's breath. The immense soul power within him overflowed, transforming into another sea of ​​soul mist. Agreed then opened his mouth wide and absorbed all the soul mist into his body to digest it. After absorbing all the soul mist, Agreed's soul turned completely crimson and terrifying. At this moment, the mysterious and pure immense power made him appear even more terrifying than the evil gods in the void.

However, after completely digesting those soul powers, Agreed always felt that his soul was not complete enough, but he soon realized that it was because he had not yet obtained the full power of the sin of greed.

Agreed then stretched out his dragon claws, tore through space, and pulled Mammon out of another dimension. Afterward, Agreed placed Mammon in his palm and whispered, "Give me the remaining power of greed within you, and I may spare your life."

But Mammon, relentless, spread his arms wide and roared maniacally, "Don't hesitate, buddy! Indecisiveness gets you nowhere! Come on! Eat me!! Become that one and only 'demon'!!!"
