Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 331 Mission: 07-5 To be continued
At this moment, Nero's first thought was to expand his worldview and seal away the parts of himself and Pest that were related to the "God of Death." As long as they were no longer the God of Death, they should be able to escape from Cain's gift game.

It's like sealing the Sun Armor summoned by Sandora back to the paper that summoned it. Peste's spirit itself is called "Black Death-Spotted God of Death." Weapons, items, and seals like these that carry divine power are called "simulated godhoods" in the Little Garden, similar to becoming a subordinate god by receiving godhood from the main god. The sickle derived from Samael and the Yama Blade, part of Sparta's power, both carry the prefix "simulated godhood" on Nero's Gift Card.

But if Nero really sealed her and Pest's death spirits, it would lead to a serious problem -

While the Death God's spirit is sealed, Pest will lose her host authority.

In other words, this game that took so much effort to finally reach the last step will fail.

Pest probably wouldn't accept this outcome. But theoretically, if Nero opened up his worldview, he could also seal the "Sevenfold Revenge" mark on Cain. So, if he sealed Cain's simulated godhood—

No, it couldn't. This Gift Game wasn't hosted by Cain, and the divine power used to activate the Host's authority ultimately belonged to the two Death Gods. If it had been before the Host's authority went haywire due to the simulated divine power granted by Asuka, perhaps it could have been done, but now that the game had begun, she had missed that opportunity.

Is there any other way?
This path won't work, and neither will that path. Nero, sweating profusely as she controlled the scythe in her hand, stared into space, constantly pondering a strategy. She didn't notice that beside her, Pest's eyes were suddenly filled with determination.

Pest realized that there was no way out.

Although it was a shame, it seemed like the only way to accept this reality. As someone who abused the organizer's authority, if the Demon King's game was cracked, there would be only one outcome.

This was something Weser had reminded her of long ago.

Since failure is inevitable, why not make some contribution to others in the end?

"...Speaking of which, I haven't given you any gifts even though I've troubled you with so much help." Pest said suddenly.

——At least this way she can still remember herself when she sees something like this.

Nero turned his head in astonishment and saw that Pest suddenly stretched out his hand without hesitation and submerged the laughing Cain with a rolling black cloud.

"you--?!"

Nero had never expected Pest to be so decisive. It was too late to seal Pest's spirit now. Since she had already taken action, even if she sealed the spirit and kicked Pest out of the game, she would still be punished seven times for interfering with the game.

"Neg everything and turn it into nothingness, [Simulated Star Creation Chart]!"

So the only thing Nero could do was to try to use the simulated star creation map to offset her attack - or at least, seal the mark of "Sevenfold Revenge" and see if he could save Pest's life.

"Don't act on your own!" Nero yelled at Pest angrily. The simulated star creation map behind him seemed to sense her mood and emitted dark fluctuations.

Nero was no fool. The moment Pest took action, she guessed that the words meant "helping Nero obtain the 'Envy Stone.'" But although the stone was very useful to Nero, and although it was unclear whether it could be recovered after missing this opportunity, who asked Pest to do such a thing?
To be honest, Pest is breaking her promise with Nero!
"...After all, becoming a Demon King is just like that."

Peste whispered, "Wasn't your grandfather the same?" With Nero's intervention, the dark cloud finally dissipated. Cain, who had been laughing wildly, lost his voice and fell backwards with a peaceful expression.

The aura of Chaos' original sin condensed into an emerald green magic stone, quietly hovering above Cain's body. Nero quickly turned his head to look at Pest, and only after confirming that she seemed to be safe did he slowly breathe a sigh of relief.

She was really scared to death just now.

Two glowing game files slowly fell from the sky, one for "The Pied Piper of Hamel," the other for "Journey to the Land of Nod." Pest silently raised her hand and used the black mist to drag the magic stone to her side. She looked at the black mist lingering around her; it no longer held the aura of "death."

As expected, the backlash from the "Journey to the Land of Nod" treaty left her alive, but she lost the spirit of the God of Death. Naturally, the other gift game...

"Wait—a draw?"

Nero, who saw the contents of the document, grabbed it in surprise and made a startled sound.

A draw? Pest was also stunned. She had just lost the spirit power and organizer authority of the "Black Death Spot Death God." The result was equivalent to the "Black Death Spot Demon King," the "game leader." This should obviously be considered a defeat, right?
Things seemed to have taken a sudden turn. Since the game ended in a draw, Pest wouldn't have to bear the penalty of losing. If they quickly prepared to escape, everything could still be salvaged!
"Hurry, let's take Hamel's Spellbook and leave!"

Pest subconsciously reached out and grabbed Nero beside her, her tone filled with joy and excitement at having escaped a desperate situation: "As long as we can get back to—eh?"

She caught nothing.

Although Pest's hands were hidden in his sleeves, making it difficult to grab anything, it was still strange that he hadn't touched Nero at all. Pest looked back and saw Nero, also with a look of astonishment, falling uncontrollably into the Demonic Tree that had opened behind him.

"[Simulated Star Creation Chart] went berserk?!"

Just now, the emerald green jealousy magic stone that Pest had retrieved from Cain's corpse was sucked into the running [Simulated Star Creation Chart·Reverse Kabbalah] without Nero's control and was thrown into the sixth sephirah "ugliness".

This wasn't a big deal in itself, as Nero didn't personally kill Cain, so the Sin Stone wasn't generated from within Nero's body, making it easier to contain it this way. However, the problem was that after the Envy Stone was placed into the Simulated Star Creation Chart, the missing eighth sephirah of the Anti-Kabbalah, Greed, suddenly transformed into a massive vortex, opening up within the Demonic World Tree.

It madly attracted Nero to fall into it.

Nero couldn't close the simulated star map, nor could she escape from it. At the last moment, she could only take out the chain that controlled the silver wolf San-Na from her gift card and toss it to Pest:

"Sang Na! Help them leave!"

After only issuing this one order, Nero disappeared into the cave, along with the madly spinning simulated star creation map.

“Nero——!”
