Dimensional demons mixed in with Marvel

Chapter 16 Praise, the Demon King of the Earth is Born!

"King Mercator, do you think this obstacle can stop me?!"

Golden wind, pure white sheep, and a boy worshipped as the embodiment of lightning.

As lightning struck repeatedly, pounding against the barrier of the gods, the locust army serving Mercator was also burned to ashes.

"It doesn't matter. As long as I can see you hesitating, it doesn't matter how many of these stupid insects die."

Mercato paid no attention to his retinue; his maniacal laughter echoed through the sky and earth. Seeing his old rival suffer a setback gave him immense pleasure.

Inside the golden divine barrier.

"I told you to leave, why are you coming back to bother me?"

Erica looked at Pepper, a knight who was being protected by someone with no magic power. Even a willful young lady like her was moved by this.

"The battle of the gods isn't Stark Industries' business. Now that we've made a deal with the God King, what's next?!"

"I hadn't thought about it."

"Huh?" Erica exclaimed in surprise.

That's all I can think of for now; the rest will just take its course.

This kind of thing can't be resolved with just saying you didn't think about it.

Unbelievable...

"If you haven't thought it through, don't rush over recklessly."

"How can you still laugh at a time like this!"

Erica couldn't help but roar.

The woman, who had been worried the whole way, unexpectedly smiled in the face of such a critical life-or-death situation.

"I don't know, I'm not sure myself."

"But……"

"I think I understand him a little now."

For Pepper, everything was simple.

She didn't understand what she was doing, but Tony probably thought so too at that time.

After carrying a nuclear bomb into the wormhole alone, what will be the final outcome? Even Iron Man doesn't know.

But that's exactly what I did.

At this moment, Pepper is certain of one thing: if Tony were here too.

"He will do the same thing as me."

……

Outside the divine barrier.

The inability to break through Mercato's barrier did not discourage the boy; on the contrary, it finally ignited his fighting spirit.

"He truly deserves to be called a hero, but even so, he's far from enough to make me lose!"

Right hand raised high.

Conversely, next to the phoenix manifested by the boy, what truly appeared was... a golden sword.

It was an exaggeratedly designed double-edged sword with a blade as long as a phoenix's wing and gleaming with an undeniable light.

"Aaaaaah..."

Like an unseen giant wielding a sword, the boy, with a golden sword disproportionate to his size, swooped down and cleaved the divine barrier in two.

"!!"

The ear-piercing sound of divine power overload, the divine protection of Mercator, was now crumbling inch by inch.

"That hateful, stinking gold!"

Mercato's absolutely irritable voice rang out.

"What's going on?"

Pepper knew nothing about gods and magic, so why was the divine barrier that had just been able to hold back the gale and thunder so easily breached by this greatsword?

"The God of War wielding the golden sword—this is his true power. Could it be...?"

Erica recalled the divine texts she had studied and made a bold guess.

"His sword possesses the power to cleave through a god!"

"Sever?"

"That's right, a sword that strips God of divinity and reduces Him to something non-divine."

The truth was revealed, and the madness on the boy's face was fully displayed, making no attempt to conceal his desire for everything in the name of battle.

"I crave defeat, ancient king! Humanity, grant me even greater pleasure!"

It was already unstoppable; the divine barrier turned into starlight before the boy.

The last hope has been extinguished...

"Pepper, you'd better run!"

run?!

Now that things have come to this, even if Erica tries her best to stop them, where can she run to?!

"I do not want."

"Now that I have Prometheus's secrets, I'll give them up if I can't even use them."

"It would be too embarrassing if Tony found out."

Pepper was prepared, just as she had been when she faced the Boar God at the port.

It has always made Erika, such a young girl, strive.

That's really not right!

"What are you trying to do? A human with no magic will die if they use that kind of thing!"

"You'll die if you don't use it, right?"

Pepper smiled.

After obtaining the stone tablet and arriving in Sardinia, she had no other choice.

"You're such an idiot! How can someone as stupid as you exist?!"

madness?

A...not a very pleasant-sounding word.

"To Tony, Iron Man saving New York is just a stupid guy."

Pepper muttered to herself unconsciously.

So, to fall in love with such a so-called hero, I'm probably a fool.

Thinking of this, Pepper suddenly smiled.

"A white horse!"

Rumble...

The aftershocks of the divine power surged out of Sardinia, and the divine barrier shattered completely. Pepper raised the stone tablet, and the white horse transformed into a crimson beam of light that shot into the sky, striking the boy wielding the golden sword squarely.

"I!"

Crimson flames began to burn, and the boy roared within them.

"I will not be defeated by my own incarnation."

"Pepper!"

Erica knew perfectly well that Pepper had used the power of the stone tablet by overdrawing her own life force because she couldn't use magic.

The ripple power provided by Baron Zeppeli had completely vanished at this moment.

Pepper felt as if her internal organs had been drained, and she was in excruciating pain.

But she did not collapse.

"I did it! I stole his sword... the golden sword...!"

Prometheus traded a white horse for a golden sword.

This is the thief from the gods, offering a celebration to the heroes during the war of the gods.

"What?"

The boy stared in disbelief at his golden sword, which suddenly shattered into a beam of light and disappeared into the stone slab.

"You said it can slay a god, right? How exactly do we do that?!"

"What should we do?!"

Pepper looked at Erica with great anticipation. The Grand Knight from the Copper Black Cross, a girl whom even Baron Zeppeli called a genius, must surely know how to use the Golden Sword!

"You really love your hero!"

Erica paused for a moment, then suddenly said something out of the blue.

"ah?!"

Pepper was confused. Was it because she had mentioned Tony earlier?

"And you are my hero!"

A blush appeared on the girl's face that she had never shown since Pepper had met her.

? !

Pepper stared at the face that was getting closer and closer, and for a moment she didn't realize what was about to happen.

"Pop~"

Erica stood on tiptoe, and it was a deep, unreserved kiss.

What?!

For Pepper, when she felt the soft touch of his lips, her mind went blank.

The world is quiet.

All she could hear was the sound of their heartbeats.

The magic flowed between their lips, and Erica and Pepper seemed to transform into golden light, shining as brightly as the sun.

Inside the red car in the distance.

Baron Zeppelin and his maid witnessed it all with perfect clarity, the strange magician muttered to himself.

"The echo of destiny has finally arrived; the Demon King of the Earth has been born!"

In an instant.

The desolate land was covered with golden light, and golden swords rose from the ground.

An indescribable, immense sound seemed to resonate in everyone's heart.

"She is a ruler because she slew the gods of heaven and seized the supreme power that made them gods."

Countless swords, one after another, filled the sky and the earth.

It was so dazzling, like a sea of ​​gold.

Divine power!

Now it is being used by Pepper, who was originally human!

"She is a queen because she can use power that she has usurped from the gods, and is not controlled by anyone on earth."

Ancient runes were engraved on the sword, eventually converging into a golden torrent that pierced through the boy's abdomen.

This moment!

Pepper gripped the golden sword and, together with Erica, witnessed the demise of the gods.

And it was at this very moment that something worthy of blasphemy was born.

"She is the Demon King, because none of the people living on earth have the power to fight against her."

"She's a god-killer!"
