Increase Talent: Become More Stronger!-Chapter 241: Strongest

Happy Reading~

===========

Still, even the slightest difference in a layer within the Supreme Emperor Stage was unbearable.

If not for the Magic Emperor being blessed with limitless mana, it would have been impossible for him to fight the Demon Emperor.

And now, the Magic Emperor was truly reaching his limit.

However, the Magic Emperor knew all too well that he couldn't stop this fight.

If he dared to try, he wouldn't be able to withstand the consequences.

For a moment, memories of his conversation with an angel resurfaced in his mind.

"Human wizard, can you truly help me free my daughter? I know this violates divine law. But I hope you can help me."

That's right... I made a promise to the Angel of Charity to save her daughter.

But deep down, the Magic Emperor also understood why the Angel of Virtue had chosen him for this mission.

If her daughter wasn't special, she would never have sent him to rescue Lilith.

No matter what, the Magic Emperor knew this was something he absolutely had to do.

"For the world... For humanity's future... I wish for our victory!"

Roar—!

"Magic Emperor! This is too much! Do you intend to destroy my city?!"

"Who cares? You and I—we're both victims. Don't expect us to escape death."

"You—! Don't push your limits! Don't think I'll let you wipe out my kin! I won't allow it!"

In mere seconds, the Demon Emperor's form changed drastically.

His body literally began to melt into a pile of sludge.

And when the Demon Emperor's melted form landed on the demon capital, everything within hundreds of thousands of kilometers was enveloped by his power.

Honestly, even I wasn't expecting the Demon Emperor's strength to reach such a level.

"What the... Your Majesty, are you serious? Damn it! I'm retreating! This isn't a game anymore!"

"What's happening? Why has the world been swallowed in darkness? What are they doing?" I asked, confused why everything around me was consumed by endless blackness.

Just moments ago, the sky above was a blood-red hue.

But now? It was completely covered in a thick black sludge.

Then, as my eyes fell upon a certain man, I started to question—was I going to be okay?

Unfortunately, the moment I tried to distance myself from the battle...

I couldn't help but feel intense damage spreading through my body—my bones were being crushed.

'Noah! Don't hold back anymore! You must unleash my full power now!'

Guh... It hurts!

No—it hurts even more than dying for the second time.

"I don't care anymore! Give me everything you've got! HAAHH!!"

Burst—!

Out of nowhere, several powerful explosions erupted from within me.

Even the aura surrounding my body now revealed that I had truly surpassed the King Stage.

Supreme Emperor...

So slow... I could see everything happening around me.

Was this what it felt like to reach the Supreme Emperor Stage?

It was... astonishing.

This world—even dimensions beyond the Demon Realm—I could see them all...

Transformation—!

"Come, Annihilation Blade. Return to your master now."

The Annihilation Blade... This was the sword I used in my other self to slay Asborn.

If not for the demon within me, I'd never have known what this blade truly was.

"This isn't enough. I need more power... Star Transformation, seventh tier..."

Boom—!

For some reason, Asmodeus, who was hundreds of meters away, seemed to stagger.

Even his expression now showed complete terror.

"What is this?! Who are you?! This is impossible! I refuse to accept this!"

"Shut up. Come and die for me, you disgusting demon..."

Erased—

In a fraction of a second, Asmodeus's figure vanished without leaving a trace.

Unfortunately, I also knew I couldn't let the Magic Emperor continue his rampage.

Without hesitation, I approached the Magic Emperor.

"Stop. You can't destroy the Demon Realm. This world is important to me."

"You're... who are you? How can you wield the power of Star Transformation? Ugh..."

"Don't strain yourself. I can help restore your condition. Please, don't resist."

As my palm gently landed on the Magic Emperor's head, I could see the Demon Emperor returning to his original form.

Even the world around us was restored, as if nothing had ever happened.

The Demon Emperor, too, seemed completely lost about what had just occurred.

"You... no, I mean, esteemed lord—may I ask your name?"

"My name? That doesn't matter. You just need to know one thing: I want you to give me Lilith."

"In that case, I cannot refuse your command. Lilith... come here."

Without realizing it, I saw Lilith's body slowly float into the grand hall.

And when she turned to face me, I simply smiled at her.

At last, Lilith stood before me.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I ran into a small issue. I just didn't want you to be sad."

"Sieg...! You actually kept your promise! You idiot! What if you had died?!"

"Forgive me. But I don't care. You're the most important thing in my life. I missed you so much."

That's right... I missed Lilith deeply during those two years I was trapped.

Even if I wasn't Sieg, I understood how he felt.

And now, it was undeniable—we had become one.

I had fully inherited Sieg's memories, something I never expected.

Maybe because of that, I thought... my feelings for Lilith had truly grown?

"Um... my lord, what will you do now? Are you planning to leave this place?"

For a moment, I turned again to the Demon Emperor.

Lost in thought, I wondered—was I even capable of leaving?

Thinking back, I knew I was Sieg now.

There was no way I could simply leave the Demon Realm.

Without hesitation, I gently released Lilith from my embrace.

"Unfortunately... I am a demon. There's no place for me in the outside world. I have no plans to leave."

"In that case—"

"No. I don't want your opinion. Because you dared to torment Lilith, I have no intention of letting you go. I hope you can withstand my next attack."

Suddenly, the Demon Emperor's face was filled with fear.

He knew—I wouldn't let him go.

And truth be told, my body had reached its absolute limit.

If I pushed any further, could I still maintain the power of the Supreme Emperor?

Regardless, this was the only path—I had to strike the Demon Emperor down.

In an instant, I raised the Annihilation Blade before me.

Even the Magic Emperor and Demon Emperor didn't understand why they felt such terror.

But the moment they saw the sword in my hand, they realized—it wasn't an ordinary weapon.

No... they were certain this was a Divine-Rank sword.

"Oh no! I can't escape!"

Sadly for him, just as the Demon Emperor tried to flee—

I moved slightly.

In less than a blink, his physical body was reduced to minced meat.

Slash—!

Luckily, I never intended to destroy his soul.

As you can see, I now saw his spirit standing beside the Magic Emperor.

"Thank you for your mercy. I swear never to act recklessly again!"

"I hope so. I will—"

Shift—!

Unexpectedly, I found myself unable to speak as a look of curiosity formed on my face.

When I turned to Lilith, I didn't know why she was smiling.

Even as I gazed at the world before me—I realized this was no longer reality.

"You've passed... Forbidden Prince. You truly are what I hoped for. A monster like you deserves praise."

"Lilith... what's going on? And who are you?"

"I'm Lilith. But you can call me your dearest Lilith. Isn't that right, Father?"

Gaze—

In a heartbeat, I felt someone's eyes on me.

It was true—what I feared was happening.

"Hmph... He's a legend. But I didn't think I'd see you this soon. Tell me, do you truly love my daughter?"

Honestly, deep within, I had no idea why they called me the Forbidden Prince.

But one thing was clear—these two knew exactly what I planned to do.

"I love her. But I don't know if this is truly love. It's... confusing."

At first, I thought the man before me wouldn't tolerate my answer.

But to my surprise—he smiled, pleased with what I said.
