After Slessor, none of the others had any surprises and became normal hellfire demons. After all, to become a Deadly Sin, it was mostly about infusing more energy from Dante, but it also required a special something.

Dante would not have known before, but now he knew that it was fortune. If the fortune cloud above your head did not have even a hint of red, then it was impossible to become a deadly sin, and one would remain a normal hellfire demon.historical

"Now that you all have changed, you are probably aware of your newfound power and its scope, but that is only transient. One can only know the full extent of their ability through practice, so let's get you guys a chance to do so." Dante addressed them with a nod toward the four sin demons.

The four sin demons stepped forth and naturally assumed a leadership role for the rest of the hellfire demons who had changed completely in demeanor. Whether they were students of the Portinari clan, cousins of this or that, they were now hellfire demons wholeheartedly united under Dante's banner.

They reorganized the 48 normal hellfire demons into groups of 12 under each of them. They then moved toward a battleship that was prepared for the Deadly Sins when they headed out on a large-scale expedition called TheAbyssal Mandate.

The Abyssal Mandate took to the sky once fully boarded, heading into the atmosphere of Planet Etonia and towards the starry sky as the quantum warp drive was initiated. Meanwhile, everyone else began to stir once their various observation methods and personnel reported that Dante had made a move. Only an hour or two after entering his base, he was now on the move to somewhere, and quite rapidly too.

What was the so-called strongest in the universe up to now?

Everyone could not help but wonder what was going to happen next.

...............................

Meanwhile, in the command deck of the Abyssal Mandate, Dante sat down in the captain's seat while Levi stood beside him, gazing into the mesmerizing vortex of colors that existed around them without any sign of confusion.

For some reason, it seemed like summoned beasts did not have to go through the test of the universe, which Dante felt was more likely to be attributed to his superpower and the cosmic tree more than anything else.

After all, regardless of pure human, mixed breed, or alien, everyone went through it all the same for the first time.

"Well, have you got an answer for me?" Dante prodded Levi impatiently.

"Wait a bit, their details are surprisingly hard to track. They have definitely used special means from the First Gate to block their tracks, but I can crack it in time." Levi answered with a look of concentration.

Dante settled down while Levi began to do his work. Normally, this would crazily consume Dante's energy, but when it came to Levi - and any of his summoned beasts for that matter - the one who handled their bills was the cosmic tree.

So given whatever method that the other party used, it was futile. Even if their method was potent, it definitely had a limit in terms of its energy, and as long as Levi kept prodding it, he could quickly consume it to death.

Cheating? Hmph, it's not cheating if I like it!

"Got it. They are within the Paragon Sector, specifically the Lupin galaxy. They have taken a chain of leisure planets as their base and have been hiding there for years, controlling it from the shadows." Levi soon reported after succeeding in his task.

Dante nodded and took Levi back. "Heh, hiding there eh? It's not going to save you lot. Your time has finally come."

After sharing the coordinates with the system, they came out of random warp and entered targeted warp. The initial warp was just to throw off those who were watching and make them wonder where they were going.

Their actual destination was the place Levi had pinpointed just now, and it was imperative that the fellows there did not know he was arriving; otherwise, they would probably scatter and flee.

That's right, Dante was targeting the spy forces! lightsnovel

Specifically, the forces that orchestrated the death of his mother-in-law. He was going to take his troops there and livestream the incoming slaughter for the whole universe to see, firstly to highlight the power of his forces and what his hellfire demon could do, and secondly to avenge Portia.

Portia had definitely planned to do it herself but wanted to focus on Beatrice first and revenge later. Then she was forced by circumstances to rush into the First Gate to work for some 'cash' for her and her line of girls, so she had to put this aside.

Beatrice too was pregnant and could absolutely not afford to even exert herself in the slightest. As such, as a capable son-in-law, Dante had to present a belated Christmas and New Year's gift to his mother-in-law in the form of her assassin's heads.

Dante slowly briefed his group on their target and the details that he got from Levi, including their specific locations, their strengths, and their abilities. This would leave his troops with the initiative to handle things however they wanted.

As for him, he began preparing a pseudo-10th rank spell.

lightsΝοvel Dante stood up as spiritual energy surged around him crazily, making the warp space that the ship was passing through quiver slightly unstably.

He chanted words and made gestures with a serious and focused face. Unlike even 9th rank spells which he could instantly cast, even fake 10th rank spells required him to focus because it was meant to be cast by multiple 9th rank mages at once.

The current spell he was working on was called Spatial Blockade. There was a spatial blockade spell for every rank, but Dante doubted if any of them below the fake 10th rank could stop the means those guys had, not from a technological perspective, but in terms of special abilities, superpowers, or items they had.

Even 9th rank spells, while powerful, could not match superpowers because superpowers were recognized by the universe. Only fake 10th rank spells possibly could be they soared past being mere spells and had achieved hints of universal law as well as heavenly rules.

If it wasn't for the innate limitation of quantum worlds and the server it was hosted on, with how long the Magus World had been in operations, mages would have long broken through 9th rank and discovered a new peak.

The ship soon blasted out of warp space, right in the center of the galaxy that Levi had identified. In the few seconds before the various forces could detect their presence, Dante quickly sucked over all the spatial elements needed for the spell and released it, having finished casting and was holding it at the precipice all this time.

Immediately, a spatial shockwave occurred that surged throughout the galaxy and surrounded it from all directions, forming a giant purple sphere. Every living being within the galaxy felt suppressed and constricted, as if their movements were hindered.

While most normal people were puzzled, the spy forces hidden on various planets began to panic when their detection methods told them that Dante was here and he had cast this blockade.

They immediately sent out an internal alarm and began to escape quickly. They were definitely not going to make excuses for why Dante was here and watch him to see what he would do; were you crazy?

Even if they were wrong and fled wrongly,it was better to be alive than to be right. If such spy factions were so dense and stupid, they would have long been eradicated from the various universes they were placed in.

Dante also realized he had slightly underestimated these fellows when Levi reported that they were escaping. Levi didn't even need to tell him; he could feel the pressure on his spatial blockade as the items they were using were ripping it apart from the inside.

Dante's eyes became bloodshot. He cast a 9th rank portal spell that opened four portals that led to four different planets, near the location where those forces were.

"Deploy!" He roared.

Seeing their master was so serious, they did not dare to dally and rushed through the portals, aiming to take down their foes swiftly and cruelly. They unleashed all of their hellfire from the get-go and moved like sniper bullets set loose towards their target locations once through the portal.

The members of the spy factions in those locations had their eyes bulge out when they felt the aura and malice rushing towards them from so close, especially when they were still cracking the spatial blockade. Meanwhile, Dante sat down in his captain's chair with a slight look of fatigue and made a casual order. "Begin the livestream. Make sure it has priority on all networks."

The AI acquiesced to his order and put the session live, causing the universe to stir as many of their programs and activities were interrupted by this.
