Reincarnated Devil’s Strongest Hero Training Plan ~The baby he picked up has grown up so well that his father is confused~

Chapter 132   Collision!!

“Finally, you’ve come, heroes. I’ve been waiting for you.”

“Ah, at last. We’ve truly, finally made it here.”

The Demon King, seeing the heroes who had been blown from the entrance hall of the Demon King’s castle to the audience chamber at the top floor, understood that the ultimate stage for their decisive battle was now set.

He surveyed the devastated audience chamber, pondering for a moment.

Before his eyes, a part of the audience chamber was shattered, with the ceiling blown apart by the tremendous torrent of magic power unleashed by that man. He had suspected the man still held back considerable power, but not to this extent.

Even from the perspective of the Demon King, the strongest in the Demon Realm, he momentarily felt an overwhelming force that seemed capable of annihilating the entire Demon Realm in one strike, should they become enemies.

However, even with the current Demon King’s significantly enhanced magic sensing abilities, he could only detect a fleeting distortion of space for an instant. No other demon around could possibly comprehend the terror of such power.

Yet, even as he feared this terrifying power of the man who was neither human nor demon, he also felt a certain trust and confidence.

If he were to fall to the hero and lose his life, he believed that man would not lead the Demon Realm astray afterwards. He foresaw a future where the worst outcomes for his wife, trusted subordinates, and daughter would be avoided.

Therefore, with all his strength.

With everything he has.

The Demon King could face the hero with all he possessed and see the matter through.

And he felt nothing but gratitude toward that man who had created such a miraculous situation and the hero before him, who was also his son-in-law.

“My sweets got all scattered apart!!?”

Meanwhile, on the side of the human representatives.

Mermel, whose precious snacks were blown away by the low-class demon’s unleashed magic, collapsed in tears at this overwhelmingly despairing reality.

The snacks were now irreparably scattered, carried away by the air currents to somewhere unreachable.

Farewell, assorted sweets. Until we meet again.

The little angel decided to write this in her diary for today.

“Wait, Mermel. We’ll talk about that later.”

“O-okay… sniff.”

On the tense stage of the final battle, the hero scolded his small companion who was out of sync with the atmosphere, while staying vigilant.

The ceiling had Hades suspended in a circular cage formed by magic, and several powerful demons stood by the Demon King’s sides, merely watching without any intent to intervene. They seemed determined not to take their eyes off the scene until the very end.

They were probably gathered here solely to witness the noble stance of the man who was fulfilling his responsibility as the Demon King at the pinnacle of their realm.

Especially memorable were the demons with the appearance of a cockroach and the one resembling a clown.

The former was a member of the Four Heavenly Kings, who was beaten to a pulp by Ars’s father, Kakyu, before Ars’s fifth birthday.

The latter was a demon who had appeared in the labyrinth kingdom of Garard and toyed with the heroes.

Ars recalled how the cockroach-like demon had once dismissed humans as insects and trash, but now there was no trace of such arrogance. On the contrary, upon seeing Ars, he seemed to recognize the grown-up child he once knew and responded with a polite bow.

Ars found this somewhat puzzling but quickly deduced the reason.

In the demon realm, strength is everything. Having seen Kakyu’s true form, Devil Mode, the demon likely reflected on his past scorn for humans and revised his opinion, thinking, “There was a time when I thought humans were trash.”

Meanwhile, Hades, trapped in the magical cage on the ceiling, was shouting something continuously. However, due to the nature of the barrier, her voice could not be heard. Judging by her expression, she was likely saying something like, “Do something about that stubborn old man,” or “Go for it, Ars-kun!” Her cheeks were slightly flushed.

As both the Demon King’s side and the heroes finished their respective assessments, the decisive battle finally began.

“I’ll let you make the first move. …Come at me with all you’ve got.”

As the Demon King declared this, a golden light illuminated the space.

It was the Brave Engine of Ars, fully activated from the start.

But that wasn’t all. His transformation didn’t just change the color of his eyes as before. Now, he wielded a golden sword, wore golden armor, a helmet with two curved golden horns, floating golden shields surrounded him, and on his back were pure white wings edged in gold.

There stood the hero in his complete form, a sight never shown to even his companions.

The secret behind this transformation lies in the mastery of Devil Mode Alternative, a technique Ars had long aspired to learn from his father, Kakyu, and its significant influence on the Brave Engine.

Initially, this power is closer to the concept of releasing one’s innate nature rather than a skill, meant to wield demonic power that exceeds human limits. Therefore, for an ordinary human without such an inherent nature, attempting to learn it would be meaningless, or worse, impossible due to the absence of anything to release.

However, Ars, with the Brave Engine’s hero power, was an exception. For a hero gene with infinite potential forcibly contained within a human vessel, constantly awaiting the moment of release, this technique became an ultimate move with perfect compatibility.

Until now, the golden power had never been fully unleashed, preventing any interaction between Devil Mode and the Brave Engine. But having overcome his father Kakyu’s trials and wielded the golden power to incinerate over 100,000 enemies in an instant, the conditions were now met.

Thus, Ars has now obtained his true power as a hero.

“Whoa, that’s amazing! Ars, you’re incredible! Dad’s really impressed!”

Hey there!

This is Kakyu, the former Black Knight, currently busy collecting footage for Ars and Hades’ wedding video.

What an astonishing battle has begun. Ars has finally unleashed the full power of a legendary hero, and his golden aura is nothing short of spectacular.

Facing the immensely powerful demon king, Ars is relentlessly wearing him down head-on. His fierce attacks make it seem like a prolonged battle is unnecessary, shaking the very foundation of the demon realm.

However, the demon king isn’t going down without a fight. He parries Ars’s absurdly powerful sword strikes and golden beams while occasionally countering from blind spots. He even manages to send Sword Saint Ein flying into the wall with a mere leg sweep and paralyzes Gaius with a glance from his magic eye while Saint Isha is busy healing.

The little one, with less direct combat ability, is darting around aiding the team with his mysterious “FHOOOOO!” maneuvers, which seem almost like manipulating fate or destiny. I suspect she’s still holding a grudge over her lost snacks.

He frequently glances in my hidden direction and shouts “BOOOOO!” in protest. Each time, debris falls from the ceiling, or the floor crumbles underfoot.

The fact that her booing slightly disrupts my actions is frightening. It’s as if she knows where I’m hiding purely on instinct. Her manipulation of fate and intuition is unbelievable… What is this kid?

If this little kid ever gambled seriously, she’d win every time. Her luck is that phenomenal.

My son Ars also has considerable luck, but this little kid seems to manipulate it intentionally, making her more of a natural disaster than a genius.

By the way, while gathering footage for the family video, their battle is being broadcasted worldwide, both in the human and demon realms. I can’t say what people make of the immense screens displaying this spectacle.

However, people should understand the significance of their fight and what the outcome between the demon king and the hero will mean. At least, that’s what I believe.
