Chapter 332: Dating Violence
"I\'ll ask again. What do you mean by I possess your divinity?"
"Uuuuh..."
As Kania\'s dagger dug into the Demon God\'s body, she twisted in pain and let out a groan.
"If you resist, you will only suffer. Think about it."
"Aaah, uuuh..."
Nevertheless, Kania ruthlessly continued to use the dagger to torture the Demon God\'s body.
As a warlock, she had done worse things in the previous cycle.
Even though she was a goddess, extracting information from a dignified woman who had never been hit, let alone tortured before, was a piece of cake."M-my power... I can feel it from you..."
After a little more time passed, the Demon God opened her mouth with an exhausted expression.
"Why? When exactly did you take away my power? There must be a reason why I\'ve been getting weaker day by day."
"I took your powers away?"
"Stop playing innocent, you psycho bitch."
The Demon God, who shouted in rage, mumbled while trembling.
"Frey and those crazy girls are all insane... Especially Serena, that bitch..."
"So, I haven’t performed as well as Ms. Serena? I apologize. I will strive harder."
"W-wait, that\'s not... Kyaaaack!"
And in the next moment, Kania\'s dagger pierced her side.
“It’s really convenient because you don’t have to worry about excessive bleeding or scarring.”
"Gu!"
- Crunch, crunch...
The dagger penetrated the paladin\'s body without leaving a single wound, as if piercing water, and continued to strike the Demon God’s soul.
Then, the Demon God’s eyes eventually rolled back and started to dark energy from her mouth.
"Is this your divinity?"
Kania was staring at the dark energy contained in the flasks lined up on the desk behind her. Then she swiped the energy flowing from the Demon God’s mouth with her finger and asked with a sneer.
"I have always thought that it wasn\'t ordinary dark mana. I\'ve never felt such pure energy before. It felt like I was handling the undiluted version of dark mana."
“For a mere lowlife, you are quite talented, aren’t you? But that’s not my divinity; It’s just the source of my power.”
After responding with an arrogant expression, the Demon God continued speaking.
"That is the true origin of all dark mana, the essence of every warlock\'s power."
"I see."
"Nevertheless, you adapt to that power quite well. You even deluded me into thinking you stole my divinity. As expected, you\'re quite something."
Hearing this, Kania looked at the flasks with an even more intrigued expression.
"I\'ve felt this power somewhere before..."
Despite pretending otherwise, it turns out she is no different from other warlocks. She, too, is unconsciously drawn to power.
As the Demon God saw Kania shaking the flasks with interest, she secretly wore a content smile.
However, did she think someone as lowly as her could control that power
For now, even though her situation looked rather pitiful right now, she was still a goddess and a transcendent being.
Furthermore, she was the sovereign and overseer of all warlocks.
Of course, Kania was an exception for some reason, but if she used her essence, the story would change
It appears her downfall is imminent, given her increasing interest in that power. If she consumes the power in that flask, her demise will hasten.
Like any other god, Eclipse was the Demon God who received the faith of warlocks and bestowed them a power called ‘dark mana.’
No matter how skilled Kania was as a warlock, there was no way she could handle the essence of dark mana that the Demon God could manipulate.
“H-How annoying. To end up spending the rest of my life replenishing your strength..."
That’s right, keep eating it without understanding its nature. Keep stealing from me without knowing that it will lead to your downfall, you thieving cat bitch.
Thus, pretending to be vexed, the Demon God resolved to urge Kania to consume her power.
Such a foolish brat who knows nothing eagerly coveted power without knowing her place. She would wait until Kania fell into corruption. After that, she planned to make Kania her subordinate and ravage her to her heart\'s content.
- Srk...
"Somehow, it seems similar to this power."
"...!!!""
However, in the next moment, the Demon God could not help but make a shocked expression.
"Th-th-that\'s..."
"Hm?"
Isn’t that my, my divinity?!!!
A black sphere the size of a ball floated above Kania\'s hand.
It was undeniably her own essence, her very own divinity.
However, how in the world did Kania end up having that?
She never gave something like that to her...
"Uh."
Only then did the Demon God realize that her own essence, the one containing her divinity, had disappeared from her body, and her face soon turned pale.
At this rate, becoming a mere mortal was just a matter of time.
No, that wasn\'t the problem; it was clear that there would be retribution from ‘that being’.
"Have you ever attacked the Young Master?"
"Wh-what, what?"
The Demon God, who had been wearing a pale expression, suddenly snapped back to her senses at Kania\'s question.
"The damage that the Young Master experienced would be redirected to me. This energy came into my possession during the vacation a few months ago. So, I ask you again, have you ever attacked the Young Master?"
"Fuck."
Only then did the Demon God realize what had happened.
She still remembered that disgraceful day—the day when she first descended upon this body, attacked Frey, and was forced to retreat due to his retaliation.
That day, she had directly attacked Frey, considering that the pressure from \'that being\' might affect her divinity.
Could it be that there was a problem with the divinity back then?
At that time, when her power was already insufficient, she had poured all her strength into Frey. What if her divinity was harmed because of that?
What if her \'divinity\', which had deemed itself powerless due to intervening with the world, had been damaged and was virtually powerless, leading it to take possession of the strongest warlock who happened to be nearby?
Now, what would happen if that was the case?
“F-Fuck, Fuck. Fuck.”
"I don\'t know what\'s going on, but it seems like you\'re in quite a predicament."
Impressively, Kania was skillfully handling her divinity.
It was not something a mortal should be able to handle. Even if someone just touched it, it should naturally lead the person to corruption or the collapse of the entire body.
Was it just a coincidence?
Or, could it be that she had the qualities of a goddess?
Nonsense.
The Demon God shook her head quickly and began to dismiss the current situation as a simple coincidence and swiftly started thinking.
It\'s just that my divinity was temporarily diminished. Once my strength recovers, it will come back. Since I said it was a mistake earlier, that girl probably still doesn\'t realize she has gained divinity. So, if I endure a little longer…
"But, let me tell you."
"Keheuk!"
Just when the Demon God decided that she had to somehow recover her strength, Kania\'s dagger plunged into her heart.
“There’s something I’ve been curious about for a long time.”
Kania posed a question to the Demon God, who could not even scream due to the pain and was gasping for air.
“What exactly did you make my parents do?”
"...!"
"I could always see it when I was young— the moment when my parents prayed to you every night and received divine revelation."
"...Augh."
As the Demon God subtly averted her gaze at those words, Kania\'s face turned cold, and she twisted the dagger.
"What is your relationship with my parents? What did you command them to do? What kind of deal was made that made my parents so powerful?"
"Ugh..."
"It seems like you have no intention to say anything. Well, I\'ll make you talk soon enough."
Saying so, Kania began to torture the Demon God\'s entire body.
Hurry... I need to recover my strength...
- Crack...!
At this rate... I\'ll become a mere mortal...
With that thought, dark energy once again escaped from Eclipse’s mouth.

"Kkeoheuk!"
"Usually, a club is a cure for all, you know? But alas, it doesn\'t work for a senile old man like you. It’s a shame."
When Frey struck the Archbishop with his scabbard, he flew through the air with his shield and rolled around the imperial palace.
"Y-You... aren\'t you afraid of the Sun God?"
"The Sun God fainted immediately after I struck her abdomen."
"You’re insane, crazy bastard..."
Frey chased after the Archbishop, who was crawling like a dog due to his already broken legs, with a fearsome expression.
The surrounding atmosphere was already filled with fear and awe.
It was a huge setback for the Archbishop, who was trying to put pressure on the imperial family and further reduce the influence of Clana and Frey by using the Saintess as a hostage and the threat of excommunication.
"Seeing you crawl like a dog, I\'m glad you finally know your place."
"Ugh..."
"Why bother trying to run away? You\'re right in the middle of enemy territory. Do you think you can insult Her Highness, the Imperial Princess, and still leave with your life?"
Frey stopped the crawling Archbishop by stepping on his broken legs. Then he held him by the neck, and lifted him.
"The Pope, The Cardinal, and all the executives of the Church. Are you all watching?"
Looking into his eyes, Frey began to speak.
“This is a declaration of war. We will annihilate you within seven days.”
"...You."
The Archbishop struggled within Frey’s grasp and soon spoke with a fierce expression.
"Do you think the Princess, who has yet to ascend to the throne, can engage in a full-scale war with us in this chaotic situation?"
"..."
"Our grand plan has been prepared for centuries. There is no way that the declining Imperial Family, which has only asserted its authority and just gone through a rebellion, could survive the war."
The Archbishop spoke while sneering and looked straight into Frey\'s eyes.
"This war will end with the Church as the victor. In a week, the declaration of excommunication will be issued, along with the proclamation of the founding of the Theocracy of the Sacred Sun God\'s. The Sunrise Empire will become a setting sun."
"This senile dog talks too much."
"Kkeuk!"
Saying this, Frey smashed the Archbishop\'s jaw, slamming him into the ground. In a low voice, he whispered.
"Let me ask you one thing. Who is the highest person in the Church?"
"Well... of course, it\'s His Holiness, the Pope..."
"It’s the Saintess, you idiot."
Having said that, Frey’s eyes were shining quietly.
“Who has more power: the Pope who was elected by the executives or the Saintess who was chosen by the Goddess herself?”
"Regardless, it\'s useless. The Saintess is already in our grasp. The brat has no influence..."
"It seems like you\'re mistaken about something."
Frey then stomped on the Archbishop\'s waist and whispered.
"Since when have you been controlling the Saintess?"
"...Kkeuk."
"You probably have never had such an opportunity, have you?"
Having said that, Frey shattered his backbone, rendering him unconscious, and then looked around.
"Well, it ended up like this."
Frey looked at the frightened ministers, smiling brightly.
"From today, we\'re at war with the Church."
Leaving this statement, Frey headed towards the exit with a cheerful expression.
"So, stop the pointless infighting before we’re attacked and focus on strategy meetings instead."
As he spoke, the tension on the faces of the ministers slowly began to ease.
- Step, step...
"Alright, with that, we\'ve solved three problems in one go..."
Frey, who had solved three of the four problems blocking Clana’s coronation at once, muttered as he walked down the corridors of the imperial palace.
"Now, only the last problem remains..."
Suddenly, Frey stopped in his tracks.
>Hero! How are you~!
The familiar Moonlight-color Chat window appeared in front of his eyes.
>Today, I hunted some strange(?) demonic monsters on the Eastern Continent! Ms. Lunar said they were goblins? Elders or something…
"Goblins? Lunar?”
Frey tilted his head when he saw the attached picture in the chat window. Then his eyes widened as he read the text below.
Anyway, I caught them and earned some points! Please don\'t spend them recklessly like last time; you need to save them!
"…Now I have enough."
Making a quick and rational judgment, Frey immediately opened the special ability panel and started running towards the guest room.

"Crunch, crunch..."
Meanwhile, in the Imperial guest room.
"Ms. Ruby, it\'s okay. You still have us."
“Since we have come to make an official complaint, even Frey will not be able to touch the Hero carelessly.”
Ruby, who entered the guest room with the Hero Party, quietly bit her nails as she looked at the system window in front of her.
[Special Ability Shop - Demon King Ver]
"Should I just... go all out? "
Finally, after muttering like that, Ruby raised her hand.
No, right now, my points are at rock bottom. For some reason, the point supply is cut off now, and purchasing something like this might lead to a catastrophe.
The skill Frey purchased a while back, \'Remove the Rank Badge and Fight,\' and the recently added‘Ultimate Move Permit’.
As Ruby reached for those two skills and muttered to herself, she lowered her hand.
"Hero..."
"What should we do... Ever since that day, whenever she’s alone, she always acts like this..."
"Shh, she must have been in great shock.”
These fucking kids…
Ruby, quietly grinding her teeth, started muttering to herself as the students looked at her with pitying gazes.
It doesn\'t matter, even if I didn’t use these skills. Today, I will take revenge to my heart’s content. Frey.
The exact moment when she thought that and kindled the fire within her…
- Creak...
"Hello, Hero."
As the door to the guest room opened, Frey appeared.
"Hero, we will handle..."
"Lord Frey."
Seeing him, Ruby stepped forward, bypassing the students in front of her.
"As the representative of the Hero Party and the Academy, I have come to greet the new Imperial Ruler."
- You should think carefully, Frey.
With gleaming eyes, she began to send a mental transmission to Frey.
- If I don\'t stand by the Princess\'s side, do you think the public will follow her? I am the only Hero in this world. You overlooked that. It’s truly a foolish act.
"..."
- Today, you’re going to be my toy. Otherwise, I won\'t stand by the Princess\'s side.
As Frey blinked at those words, Ruby touched his clothes with a creepy expression.
"How about we go on a little date?"
- I’ll break you, Frey.
When she whispered that, revealing her smiling eyes...
"Ms. Ruby."
Suddenly, Frey looked at her tenderly and grabbed the edge of her clothes.
"I love you.”
"What?"
Then, Frey leaned towards her ear and softly whispered.
"Actually, I\'ve liked you for a long time."
"...???"
Startled by this sudden confession, Ruby stared at Frey with a dumbfounded expression.
"So..."
Looking at her like that, Frey muttered to himself in a low voice.
"...From now on, everything I do is a way to express my affection for you."
"What did you say?"
Satisfied with his rational judgment, Frey held onto Ruby\'s arm.
"Have you ever heard of the term \'dating violence\'?"
"You crazy bastard."
In response to that, Ruby unconsciously let out a /genesisforsaken
