As the 7th Divine War rages on, the angels and elemental deities unite against darkness. Meanwhile, Azael's true intentions are exposed, revealing his utilitarian view, where others are mere tools for his gain. This leads to a confrontation with Meliodas, ending their friendship.
In the demon realm, Hael is hailed as a hero after his battle with Red. However, his actions are cautioned by Kinara and Gira, hinting at underlying concerns.
The 7 Demon Lords, including Lucifer, acknowledge Hael's power and instruct him to gather his team. With his original team decimated, Lucifer orders Hael to summon his siblings, unleashing the children of pride.
Hael awakens his siblings, including Kaegen and Vael, from their ancient tomb. This reunion sets the stage for a complex web of power dynamics and looming conflicts, as the story continues to explore the gray areas between light and darkness.
Azael, Clea, and Red crouched behind a rocky outcropping, gazing out at the kingdom of Valtexa in the distance. Azael's eyes burned with an intense determination.
Azael: We strike now.
Azael said, his voice low and deadly.
Azael: I'll finally get to meet the demon lord who's been pulling the strings from behind the scenes.
Clea's eyes narrowed.
Clea: You're not thinking of going in alone, are you?
Azael nodded.
Azael: I'll take point. You two provide cover from a distance. I want to see what this demon lord is capable of.
Red nodded, still recovering from his ordeal.
Red: Be careful, Azael. We don't know what we're up against.
Azael's gaze didn't waver.
Azael: I've come too far to turn back now. Let's move out.
With a deep breath, the trio set off towards the kingdom, ready to face whatever dangers lay within. Azael's first encounter with the demon lord was about to unfold, and the outcome was far from certain.
As they got close to the entry of the kingdom, it was quiet, like it was a ghost town, but regardless, Azael, Red, and Clea opened the gates and walked in.
Clea: Where is everyone?
Azael: I don't know, but I feel the demon lord's power and many more demons.
With a shock, they heard cheering in the far distance.
Clea: What is that? Cheering?
Azael: It's coming from the east north.
Azael started running towards the cheering, and both Red and Clea ran after him.
Clea: Hey! Azael!
Azael, Clea, and Red entered the kingdom's grand arena, where a chaotic battle royal was underway. Demons and Valtexans clashed in a frenzy of steel and claws, each fighter determined to be the last one standing.
Clea: What's going on here?
Clea shouted over the din of battle. Azael's eyes scanned the arena, his gaze locking onto the demon lord Beelzebub, who sat on a throne-like chair, watching the carnage with a twisted grin.
Azael: Beelzebub's hosting a battle royal,
Azael replied, his voice grim.
Azael: The last fighter standing will face him, huh?
Red's eyes narrowed.
Red: We need to get in there and take him down.
Azael nodded, his eyes never leaving Beelzebub.
