Alan and Beelzebub—with Rosetta in tow—walked down a street leading from the castle to the suburbs in order to reach a place where they could fight at their full strength.

“At any rate, I’m impressed you managed to gather six other shenmo, Beelzebub,” Alan said as they walked side by side.

“The previous demon army was composed of demons who just congregated at my castle, after all. Back then, I thought a group like that would suffice against an enemy at the level of you humans,” Beelzebub replied.

“Quite the arrogant attitude.” Although it was a fact that humanity had almost been exterminated by Beelzebub’s ragtag forces.

“This time, I gathered my forces more seriously. I can confidently say that we, the New Seven Black Stars, are without a doubt the seven strongest demons in the underworld. Although that means some unruly characters had to be included.” Beelzebub shrugged his shoulders as he chuckled.

That’s an expression I didn’t see twenty-five years ago. As far as Alan knew, the old Beelzebub was like the absolute dignity of a king had come to life. However, Alan knew it would be foolish to think that Beelzebub’s new behavior meant his pride had diminished. Rather, Alan judged that Beelzebub’s personality had gained some depth.

Beelzebub paid little mind to Alan’s contemplation. “Especially Atlantis, the one who went to the Fifth Kingdom. He’s the most disobedient character of the lot, though his strength is genuine.”

“If you say it, it must be true.” Beelzebub was unbiased toward the other demons, and not one to praise his own if they didn’t deserve it.

“His name is Atlantis. They call him the Ultimate Slime, due to his ability to absorb and utilize the skills of anyone he consumes.”

Alan almost gasped in shock. He could tell how dangerous that ability was by that explanation alone. “Then, will you tell me how many skills he’s absorbed so far?”

“One thousand,” Beelzebub said, as if such a number wouldn’t induce despair in anyone hearing it. “He may only be twelve or so years old, but he’s already absorbed more than a thousand skills.”

Atlantis the Ultimate Slime had no concept of toiling in order to become stronger. As with most demons, he’d only ever fought by instinct. Though he hadn’t been born powerful like Georgios or Beelzebub, thanks to his Ex-Skill, he had grown stronger whenever he desired.

Upon hearing Beelzebub’s account of humans who devoted themselves to studying and training day and night in order to grow stronger, Atlantis only said one thing.

“Huh, sounds dumb.”

After all, he could just steal from others and save himself the trouble. Anyone who couldn’t do that should just give up, in his mind. No matter how much effort they put in, they could never win against him when he could absorb more skills and grow more powerful in an instant. Obviously, his way was more efficient. For that reason, Atlantis could only think of humans as stupid for working hard and pushing through hardship—it was a waste of time.

“Activate skill.” Atlantis thrust out his hand toward the foolish man who had challenged him.
