After Pride’s injuries recovered sufficiently, he immediately went to the territory of the remaining demon lords, and his first victim was Envy.
In his complete demon form, Pride stood in front of Envy’s throne, and he strangled her neck, causing her to have difficulty breathing. “You… you’ve gone mad! Why… why did you do this to me?”
“I don’t need to explain it to you.” Pride answered as he held Envy’s head. “You are too weak, and I don’t need a weak ally like you.”
“You-” Before Envy could curse at him, Pride activated his abilities, which made the light in her eyes disappear, and her body became like a lifeless doll. Even so, he didn’t kill her, but she would need a very long time to recover.
After that, Pride threw Envy onto her throne and left that place, and his destination was the territory of the other demon lords.
The other demon lords also had the same fate as Envy, but Wrath and Greed’s conditions were truly pathetic, with terrible injuries to their bodies, especially since they tried to fight back against Pride, causing their palaces to be razed to the ground; even their territories fell apart because of their fight.
As for Sloth, Pride beat him while he was asleep, but he was still luckier than the previous three demon lords, and his injuries weren’t as serious as theirs.
On the other hand, Gluttony didn’t put up any resistance to him, as he knew that Pride would beat him up even worse if he fought him back.
Even though Pride was not in his peak condition, he was still the main ruler of the demon realm, and his strength was several times higher than that of the other demon lords.
After Pride left his palace, Gluttony tried to contact the other demon lords, but none of them answered his calls. “Fuck! What happened to him? Why did he suddenly attack us? Tch! He must have severely beaten them, so I must wait for them to recover before speaking with them about this issue, lest things get really bad between us.”
After he returned to his palace, Pride immediately created a barrier around his territory, and he sat on his throne without explaining anything to his subordinates, making them confused by their lord’s attitude.

Michael, who was discussing with the archangels, suddenly took out a golden horn, and he listened to the message he had just received. ‘Hmm? What exactly happened? Why would Pride do that to them? Could this matter have something to do with them?’
“What happened, Michel?” Gabriel asked him.
Michael sighed softly before informing them about the events in the hell realm. “My spy told me that Pride beat up the other demon lords, and he is now holed up in his palace.”
“What happened to him? Why did he beat them up?” Another archangel, Raphael, asked him.
“I don’t know for sure about that.” Michael answered by shaking his head. “However, I think that Pride’s strangeness might have something to do with the humans, especially since they can go back and forth to the hell realm easily.”
They were no longer surprised by it, especially after Victoria joined Chen Li and the others, and a female archangel conveyed her idea to Michael. “How about we attack them now? After all, they are in bad condition and divided, so I think this is a good opportunity for us to attack them, and we can wipe them out once and for all.”
“I agree with Camael.” A female archangel, Barachiel, then spoke to Michael. “We’ve been at war with them for too long, but we’ve never been able to eliminate them, so it would be better if we didn’t waste this opportunity, and we must attack them now.”
“Do you agree with them too, Jophiel?” Michael asked another female archangel, and she just nodded to him, but he then asked another one. “What do you think about this matter, Uriel?”
“I disagree with their ideas.” Uriel answered by shaking his head. “For hundreds of years, we wanted to get rid of the demons, but we never succeeded in doing so, which made me realize a few things.”
“What do you mean by that?” Barachiel asked him with a frown.
Uriel immediately explained it to them. “You guys may not realize it, but the three realms are correlated with each other, and there is a balance between the three realms. If we destroy the hell realm now, then that balance will be destroyed, and I can’t imagine the consequences if that happens, but it will have a bad impact on all of us.”
“You’re right about that.” Michael said as he nodded. “Moreover, if we attack them when they’re at their lowest, we’re no different from them, right? Besides, I’m sure that the humans already know about it, or else they would have already killed Pride and the others by now, especially since they have the abilities to do so.”
Gabriel then said to him. “In that case, it would be better if you met them and asked their purpose, and we would determine our next steps later.”
“Unfortunately, they have moved to another realm now, so I can’t meet them.” They were surprised to hear Michael’s answer. “You don’t need to look at me like that, because I myself never knew about other realms, except the three realms, but they really exist. Anyway, I can ask Noelle and Sylvia to meet them, so we can understand their plans.”
“Noelle and Sylvia? Aren’t they in our realm now? How could they meet those humans?” Raphael asked in confusion, and the other archangels also looked at Michael with confused looks.
Michael contacted the two female angels before answering them. “They told me that Chen Li had given them something, so they could communicate with him, even though they were in another realm.”
“Hey, Michael! Don’t tell me that Noelle and Sylvia have a special relationship with that human.” Barachiel said that as she looked suspiciously at him. .𝒎
Seeing Michael looking hesitant, Jophiel immediately urged him. “Tell us the truth, Michael.”
“Barachiel is right.” Michael decided to tell them. “They do have a special relationship with Chen Li, and he helped them evolve to four-wings.”
“What? Are you kidding us?” Camael asked in a high voice. “How could a human possibly help them evolve?”
“They will arrive soon, and you can ask them to show you directly.”
Not long after, Noelle and Sylvia arrived at the room, but they were shaking because the six archangels looked at them with serious eyes, and Jophiel ordered them directly. “Show us your four wings.”
They were shocked to hear that and turned to Michael, but he just nodded at them, so Sylvia and Noelle spread their wings, making the archangels abruptly stand up from their seats.
“How… how is this possible?” Raphael muttered with a shocked expression.
Camael then asked them. “Is it really that human man who helped you two evolve? How could he do it?”
“Indeed, it was Chen Li who helped us evolve, and we are already approaching six-wings.” Noelle answered as she nodded.
“Six-wings?” They were really shocked to hear that, especially since they evolved not long ago, but they were already on the verge of evolving again.
Sylvia then added to her best friend’s words. “However, we promised Chen Li not to tell anyone about how he helped us, so we can’t tell you all about it.”
“Why-”
“Barachiel.” Michael immediately stopped her. “I know you want to know about that, but you can’t force them to break their promise.”
Barachiel just nodded to Michael, but he asked the two female angels again. “Does that mean Victoria has also evolved now?”
“Not yet.” They shook their heads at him, and Noelle explained. “Victoria hasn’t used that method yet, so she still hasn’t evolved, but she has become powerful now.”
“Oh? How strong is Victoria now?” Uriel curiously asked.
“Haha.” Sylvia laughed softly and told them. “The current Victoria will not lose to Barachiel, and she may be able to defeat her now.”
“Humph! I can’t believe that she can beat me.” Barachiel replied as she crossed her arms. “I admit that Victoria is strong, but I’m still stronger than her.”
“I don’t think so.” Noelle denied her words. “Victoria is a cultivator like Chen Li now, and her light power has increased a lot since she became one, so I believe she can defeat you, but she is still not Uriel or Michael’s opponent.”
“A cultivator, huh?” They muttered to themselves, and there was a glimmer of jealousy in the eyes of the three female archangels, then Camael asked them. “Can we become cultivators like them?”
Noelle shook her head before she explained it to them. “According to Chen Li, we must have profound veins to become cultivators, and we don’t have them, so we can’t cultivate. As for you guys, I don’t know whether you have them or not, so I can’t give you an answer about that, and only he can tell you.”
“You two have a way to meet him, right?” They nodded to Jophiel. “In that case, you can take us to that human now, and we will ask him directly.”
“Sorry, we can’t do that without Chen Li’s permission.” Sylvia, without hesitation, rejected Jophiel’s request, making him frown.
However, Michael suddenly said to the two. “Noelle, Sylvia, I want you two to go see Chen Li, and you can ask him about his goals for the Hell Realm.”
