Cho Jigen no Maou Vol 2 Chapter 4

Cela, the queen of a massive castle in the middle of the Hyper-World, was sitting on her throne when one of her guards walked in and bowed before her. "Your Majesty," he began, "someone has been killing the beasts around the Hyper-World. They are destroying everything you have created."

Cela remained unfazed. "I know," she replied calmly.

Cela's eyes narrowed as she watched a holographic screen in front of her, displaying the images of the beasts being slain one by one. She had created them for a specific purpose, to gain control over the Hyper-World, and the Demon King's interference was not part of her plan. She clenched her fists and muttered to herself, "So the Demon King is behind all of this."

Cela buried her head in her hands and started laughing, a manic and chilling sound that echoed through the halls of the castle. The person who had brought her the news of Saneko's rampage looked on in confusion and concern. Finally, Cela looked up, her eyes glowing with a twisted aura.

"I will not let this demon king destroy everything I have built," she declared, still smiling wickedly.

Cela raises her hands and begins to summon her power. Suddenly, the ground begins to shake as countless beasts start emerging from the earth. They swarm around her castle, their eyes glowing with an ominous red hue. The person who walked in looks out the window in shock as the army of beasts grows larger by the second.

"What are you doing, Your Highness?" the person asks, their voice trembling with fear.

Cela turns to face them, a wicked grin on her face. "I am raising an army, my dear. An army that will permanently crush the Demon King once and for all."

The person looks at her in horror, realizing the true depth of her madness. "But...but what about the consequences? You could destroy the Hyper-World with this kind of power!"

Cela scoffs at their words. "Consequences? I care nothing for such trivialities. The only thing that matters is victory. And with this army at my command, victory is assured."

She turns back to the window, watching as her beasts continue to multiply and prepare for battle. "No matter what, I will kill the Demon King."

Saneko slowly opened her eyes and looked around the hotel room. She remembered that Pikku had convinced her to rest for the day after their intense battle with Gensoji, so they went to a hotel in another city.

When Saneko left the hotel, she found Pikku practicing her magical abilities in a nearby field. Saneko observed as a spark of electricity emerged from Pikku's hands, illuminating the area around her. Despite the possession of the Demon King's cold soul, Saneko felt a surge of pride in her friend's growing magical powers. Pikku noticed Saneko's arrival and ran over to greet her.

"Good morning, Saneko!" Pikku beamed. "Did you sleep well?"

Saneko nodded. "Yes, I did. How long have you been practicing magic?"

Pikku grinned. "Oh, just for a little while. But I'm getting better!" She held out her hand and created a small flame, which danced in the palm of her hand. "See?"

Saneko's eyes widened in amazement. "That's incredible! I'm proud of you, Pikku. Keep up the good work."

Pikku smiles from ear to ear. "Thanks, Saneko." She says with excitement in her voice.

Saneko and Pikku strolled through the city, taking in the sights and sounds of the lively area. As they walked, Pikku turned to Saneko and asked about the level of evil remaining in the first layer of the Hyper-World.

Saneko closed her eyes and focused her energy, tapping into her detection ability. The screen-like meter appeared before her, she was shocked at what she saw. The percentage had skyrocketed to an impossible number – 999999999999999%.

Saneko's expression changed to an evil smile, and she turned to Pikku. "Something powerful is about to face us," she said, her voice laced with anticipation.

Pikku's eyes widened at hearing this. "Can't we just teleport to the enemy like we always do?" She asked, anxious of the impending threat.

Saneko turned to Pikku and shook her head. "It's not just one enemy, Pikku," she said. "There are many. And they're powerful."

Pikku's eyes widened in surprise. "Many enemies?" she repeated, sounding incredulous. "How are we going to fight them all?"

Saneko smiled at Pikku and said, "We'll have to be fast." Pikku looked confused and asked Saneko what she meant. Saneko simply turned away from her, sparking with electricity, and disappeared from Pikku's vision. What actually happened was that Saneko was moving at the speed of light to reach the enemies, who were very far away on the infinite plain of the Hyper-World.

Pikku stood there for a moment, not realizing what had just happened. She knew that Saneko was incredibly powerful, but her speed and abilities still took her by surprise.

When Saneko reached the beasts, she instantly engaged in battle with them. Saneko quickly sensed more beasts coming from different angles, and her focus sharpened. Saneko lifted her finger towards the sky, and in an instant the beasts in front of her were propelled into space. Saneko's power was immense, and the beasts had no chance against her.

Saneko quickly turned around. As she stood there, her hair and clothes fluttering in the wind, she surveyed the area around her.

Saneko's keen senses picked up the presence of more beasts approaching from over the horizon. Without hesitation, she lifted her hand in a swift motion and the ground around the beasts began to rise. The surprised beasts stumbled and tumbled off the elevated ground, falling to their demise. Saneko couldn't help but feel a small sense of satisfaction at how easy it was to dispatch the creatures.

Saneko looked around at the aftermath of the two waves of beasts that she had just defeated. She estimated that she had taken out around 500 of them in total.

Saneko pulled up her video game-like detector and her eyes widened in disbelief as she saw the number of beasts remained unchanged. She realized that the beasts were being created infinitely by someone or something. A sense of exhilaration ran through her body, and her expression twisted into a crazed smile like that of a psychopath ready to go on a rampage.

Saneko knew she could defeat the beasts with ease using her magic, but the thought of endless killing excited her. She summoned a magic sword into her hand and readied herself to face the beasts head-on. She wanted to feel the rush of fighting and killing them one by one.

Saneko continued her massacre of the beasts for hours on end, fueled by her rage and desire for bloodshed. As she kept killing, the sun slowly started to set, and the bright sky was replaced by the orange hues of twilight.

Despite the fading light, Saneko did not slow down. She sliced and diced through the endless waves of beasts until finally, she was satisfied with the carnage she had wrought. Covered in the blood of her victims, she stood amidst a field of corpses, breathing heavily and feeling the rush of battle still coursing through her veins.

Suddenly, she remembered that Pikku was probably worried about her, and with a wave of her hand, she channeled the concept of defeat into the surviving beasts, causing them to crumble and disappear in an instant. She then focused her attention on the very source of the beasts, destroying the ability that allowed for their infinite creation.

As she looked up at the darkening sky, Saneko couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction at the destruction she had wrought.

She focused her energy and teleported back to where Pikku was standing. As she appeared, she saw tears streaming down Pikku's face.

"What's wrong, Pikku?" Saneko asked.

Pikku sniffled and wiped her eyes. "I know you can beat basically anyone, Saneko," she said, "but I'm still scared of the thought that you might lose."

"I understand, Pikku. But don't worry, I can handle myself. Are you tired?" Saneko asks with a worried smile on her face.

Pikku once again wipes away her tears. "A little bit. I couldn't rest when I was thinking about you."

Saneko put a comforting hand on Pikku's shoulder and said, "Try not to worry so much, Pikku."

Pikku nodded her head. "I'll try not too."

Cela sat in her throne room, staring at the empty space in front of her where her beasts should have been. She tried to summon more, but nothing happened. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she realized what had happened.

"It's impossible," she muttered to herself. "The Demon King has erased the very ability to summon infinite hordes of beasts."

Cela stood up, her fists clenched in anger. With a fierce determination, Cela summoned her own magic sword and teleported away to find Saneko. "I will kill Saneko with my own hands." She growled.
