Slamming her foot down, divine energy erupted from Madison's body as she clasped her two hands together. A pair of demonic gauntlets appeared along with a strange demonic wheel.

Snapping her finger and one of the tiles lit up.

"Seir!" Madison called out as a runic marking appeared on her arm.

Suddenly, she disappeared from her spot and appeared behind Aria.

"Shax!"

A veil of black mist covered Aria's eyes as Madison punched her in the back, stabbing into her flesh with her gauntlets before activating another tile.

"Sabnock!"

Suddenly, the wound that she had inflicted onto Aria started to fester and corrupt with demonic worms exploding from the cut. Biting into her skin, the worms started to drain Aria of her energy while Shiro raised her eyebrow.

'Seir, Shax and Sabnock are all demons from the 72 Demons of Goetia. Seir can teleport, Shax steals senses and Sabnock makes wounds worse.' Shiro thought to herself while sending a wave of bullets towards Aria now that her senses were sealed away.

Gritting her teeth, Aria activated a tier 8 magic circle, dispelling the black mist and glared at Madison.

Slamming her hand down, a barrier appeared around her as she dashed towards Shiro.

Seeing this, Madison was about to intercept her when she was flung back from an invisible force.

"Tch!" Clicking her tongue, she activated another tile.

"Andromalius!"

Blinking her eyes, Aria realised that she was now beside Madison as she launched another punch, this time across her face.

Seeing as how Madison had things covered, Shiro closed her eyes and activated a tier 7 magic circle. Using her new understanding of the black runes, she created a sniper and placed a crystal in the centre.

Jumping back, she aimed towards Aria and pulled the trigger.

*BANG!!!!!

Firing a bullet towards Aria, Shiro watched as she barely managed to move out of the way while Madison activated another tile.

"Aym!"

Flames burst out around her as Aria found her wings set aflame. Despite trying to heal herself, the flames seem to be suppressing her healing as Shiro appeared behind her with Silvanis in hand.

Twisting her body, Shiro crushed the orb that Vhimir gave her as Divine Energy coursed through her body.

Activating Silvanis' ability, the sword shifted through the space and cleaved against Aria's neck in an attempt to decapitate her.

However, she quickly stabbed a sword through her chest.

*BOOM!!!!

The tier 8 magic circle around her started to flicker as a brand new layer was starting to form.

"Tier 9." Shiro muttered with a frown since this was what Chronos had told her when recounting their fight against Aria.

Furrowing her brows, Madison grabbed the demon wheel and activated a tier 7 magic circle.

One by one, the tiles fused together and only 7 remain.

"Seal of Gluttony - Beelzebub!"

Watching Madison conjure up a seal to summon Beelzebub, Shiro felt something stir within her as she had a lesser version of the sin thanks to Yin.

Suddenly, a pair of demonic arms appeared from the magic circle as a hulking demon dragged himself out.

"URAHHHH!!!

With 6 eyes, 6 horns that formed a crown and 6 demon wings on his back, the demon known as Beelzebub pried itself from the summoning circle.

Plunging his hands into his chest, he ripped it open as all of the divine energy and mana started to disappear.

Naturally, this disturbed the formation of Aria's tier 9 magic circle, causing her to frown in displeasure.

Just as she was about to activate another tier 9 magic circle to counteract Beelzebub, she watched as the arm started to crumble away.

'Only this much huh? Disappointing.' Aria narrowed her eyes since Rokarn's body couldn't handle the use of tier 9 magic.

Shaking her head, she watched as her tier 9 magic circle got cancelled out by Beelzebub.

Switching the tiles, red runes appeared on Madison's arm as she narrowed her eyes.

"Seal of Wrath Satan!"

Instead of summoning Satan, Madison's skin turned black as red markings spread from her heart to the other parts of her body.

Demonic armour wrapped around her as two horns protruded from her head. Her eyes became two orbs of pure fury as she activated Seir once more and teleported behind Arai.

Grabbing her wings, Madison opened her mouth and bit down on Aria's neck. With her teeth firmly planted in her neck, tightened her grip around the wings and ripped them out before jamming her hands into the wound.

"Are you sure I'm needed here?" Shiro asked in shock as she didn't think Madison would have this kind of ferocity.

"Yes, Wrath only lasts a short while so you should take this time to end this woman." Makron nodded as he was now recovering from the backlash of the skills that he was using.

Nodding her head, Shiro activated error as Silvanis morphed into a black blade with red circuit patterns.

Despite having Madison ripping her back to shreds, Aria didn't miss this as she narrowed her eyes.

'Tsk, I can't do much else here. Rokarn's body is too weak.' She thought with a frown before activating a tier 8 magic circle.

The effects were unknown as Shiro appeared in front of her, plunging the sword into the chest.

Immediately separating herself from Rokarn's body, Aria glared at Shiro.

"You might have won this time but it's not over." Aria warned as Shiro tried to use Error on her. However, red circuits appeared from Aria's arm, stopping Error from reaching her.

With no choice other than letting Aria leave, Shiro frowned and looked down at Rokarn.

With his armour completely shattered and his arm missing from trying to use magic higher than what he can withstand, he glanced towards Shiro.

"God Slayer, take your prize. You've earned it." He smiled as his vision was becoming blurry.

Raising his hand, the source code started to appear as Rokarn's body was now turning to ash.

"Can you tell me our relationship now?" Shiro asked as Rokarn chuckled.

"I'm just someone who looked up to the God Slayer. Entrusted with this shard, I sold my soul to the system so that I can meet you once more to return what was given. My vitality has been spent but I am not allowed to rest. Soon my soul will go back to the archive in preparation for the next fight. God Slayer, as I watched you battle that witch, I see that you have already earned the power to seize souls from the system. May I ask for the favour of liberation?" Rokarn asked as his voice was weak.

Closing her eyes, Shiro nodded her head and activated Error. Raising her hand, she looked at Rokarn and plunged her hand into his chest. Red circuits exploded out from her arm as it pierced through the barriers that protected his source code.

Taking hold of the code, Shiro pulled out her hand.

*PUCHI!!!!

Seeing the two orbs of code that was now in her possession, Rokarn smiled.

'Ah Finally I can rest'

Shattering into ash, Rokarn's body could no longer be seen as Shiro received several notifications.

[You have cleared the raid.]

[You have received the following.]

[Source Code Shard of the Destroyer.]

[Source Code of Rokarn.]

[Due to Extraction, you received the skill Chaos Energy.]

[Chaos Energy Passive.]

Half of your Divine Energy is automatically infused with the essence of Chaos, transforming it into energy suited to destruction.

Furrowing her brows, Shiro watched as Rokarn's source code slowly disappeared while the other source code started to shimmer with a purple glow.

Suddenly, tendrils shot out of the source code and latched onto Shiro's arm.

A wave of pain washed over her body as Shiro was immediately knocked out.

Catching her before she could drift away, Madison was about to say something when another notification appeared.

[The world has adapted to the presence of Gods. The second half will soon begin.]

[Countdown: 7 Days: 00 Minutes: 00 Seconds]

"Ah F*ck." Madison cursed as Makron furrowed his brows.

Glancing back at Earth, he watched as the barriers that were previously there disappear little by little.

"Take her back to your friends. I'll be going back to the Demon Realm so that I can do my own preparations." Makron said as Madison nodded her head.

"Will you be alright? You did give me part of your divinity." Madison asked as Makron chuckled before patting her head.

"Don't worry, I'm not that weak. Plus, don't we have them as our allies now?" Makron smiled as a portal opened up, revealing 7 figures.

"I was wondering why we were suddenly able to create a pathway to this realm. Seems like the Garden is reaching the second stage." A handsome man smiled as Madison narrowed her eyes.

"If you lot dare cause trouble on Earth I will break each and every one of you myself." She warned as the man bowed.

"Of course, your highness. we do as you command."

[Asmodeus LVL 1000 Ancient Lord of Lust (Divinity 2)]

Behind her, the other 6 bowed as well.

[Lucifer LVL 1000 Ancient Lord of Pride (Divinity 2)]

[Belphegor LVL 1000 Ancient Lord of Sloth (Divinity 2)]

[Mammon LVL 1000 Ancient Lord of Greed (Divinity 2)]
