"Tch!"

Satan suddenly turned his tail against me and quickly sprinted away. Something I never expected coming from the Archdemon of Wrath himself, the bastard was running away from me! But not to the Demonic Gate, no, he was running towards my family that were constantly battling the endless armies of Wrath Demon Barbarians!

"If I can't kill you now, then I'll simply massacre your entire family in front of you, Kireina! I'll devour their powers and soul and match your power! Hahahaha!"

Satan grew even madder than before, his gigantic body already looming over the large party all my friends and family created. His giant claws rushed down, made of Wrathful Flames, as he was about to release a powerful sea of fire to burn them all.

"I won't let you!"

"Bad demon!"

However, a pair of little girls stopped him, transformed into gigantic cosmic monsters, they clashed against his claws. Scarlet and Nirah! Nirah's Cosmic Beast form resembled a massive hydra, with multiple heads to the two ends of her long, snake-like body. At the same time, she had three pairs of long, purple-colored draconic wings, and two pairs of long draconic arms.

Alongside Scarlet, the two girls unleashed their strongest powers, Nirah stopped Satan from giving another step as she released deadly venom and poison from her entire body in the form of deadly purple and green colored acid.

The acid quickly dissolved his skin, burning it and temporarily paralyzing him out of the pain, he instinctively ended giving a step back before Scarlet coiled around one, no, two of his arms at once, compressing them and then eating them both!

CRUNCH!

"UGH! ARRGH!"

With a furious roar, Satan swung his blazing arms as they regrew anew, throwing Scarlet and Nirah way and then forming a gigantic spear with his fire. His furious eyes were completely full of bloodthirst.

"DIE!"

His spear moved, and moved, and moved… It seemed to be moving so slow that for some reason, he was never reaching the girls. His eyes opened wide when he realized something was off. Time itself was going incredibly slow.

And it was because of me.

"Do you know what is Shub-Niggurath's strongest ability? Something that took me all I had to overcome?" I laughed, as I appeared above Satan. "[Time Flow Manipulation]"

Just like how Shub-Niggurath used the ability, I did. I activated it and by constantly spending Essence, I was able to manipulate the Flow of Time within a certain designated area. And this area was the entire body of Satan. I manipulate his Time Flow, draining it away and therefore, slowing him down.

The Skill was only at Level 2 right now, so it wasn't as strong as Shub-Niggurath's powers, so these were my limits of its usage. But it seemed already very effective against someone that has never fought against the power of Time before.

"Wwwwhhhhaaaaattttt?" Satan spoke so slowly I could barely understand what he was saying.

"It costs a lot of Essence to conjure though, so it is not something I can easily use." I laughed. "But well, you forced my hand now, Satan. Mammon let's finish him; he's just playing around at this point. This pathetic piece of shit doesn't need any more of my time!"

"I guess this is it!" Mammon said, the golden chains revealing themselves to Satan, as they tightened their grip on his soul and body.

"AAAARRRGGGHHH…!" Satan screamed. "T-This… can't… be…! M-Ma… MAMMON!"

His Primordial Sin of Wrath continued to grow stronger and stronger, forcefully rushing out of his body as an endless sea of crimson flames. His Demonic Crown of Wrath was at its weakest point because his main body was no longer within his Domain of Wrath, the Layer of Hell he governed.?He was trying to forcefully free himself from the Time-Stop Domain.

However, I wasn't going to allow it.

"Satan, your end is now!" I roared. "Mammon, prepare yourself, you also must kill him to gain his Authority within Hell!"

"Very well!" Mammon quickly teleported right to my side, as his Gold converged together into a gigantic axe of pristine golden color. "Satan, thank you for serving yourself on a silver platter to me."

"S-Stop! STOP!"

Satan roared, all of his powers erupting out of his body at once, my Time Stop Domain was disrupted, as he freed himself barely in time before the golden axe were to strike his head. He quickly kicked away Mammon and then rushed towards me, his fists landing over my body.

"I won't die here! I AM SATAN, THE KING OF THE BATTLEFIELD!"

BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!

Each of his fists pierced my body, leaving a horrendous, bloody holy covered on his flames. Yet they quickly regenerated back together, as I devoured my own wounds endlessly. A massive sea of pure chaotic cosmic energy materialized around him, completely trapping him within a black void.

"And I am your end."

His eyes widened as I merged my Cosmic Soul and all of my powers together. A dimension of its own was formed, encompassing Satan entirely. As much as he tried to fight back, he was already too weakened and wounded. Countless biting attacks started tearing him to shreds slowly. I enjoyed his screams.

"AAARRGH! NO…! NOOO!"

His Primordial Sin of Wrath activated constantly, releasing explosions of Wrathful Flames and boosting his attack power even when he didn't even have any more arms left, yet it was all futile. No matter how strong the Sin was, if it had such a weakened and useless vessel, it would simply be unable to showcase its true power.

"Why don't you become mine instead, Primordial Sin of Wrath? Aren't I a much better vessel than that loser?"

"S-Stop! STOOOP!"

Satan screamed, a monstrous Archdemon known for his warmongering tendencies and ruthless authority, was now screaming in agony as his limbless torso was pierced by my giant, insectoid claws. I reached the depths of his soul, devouring it with countless bites as my Domain engulfed him entirely.

"There you are!"
