The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　The blade of the "Sword that Slays Gods" also grew larger as its size increased, with black feathers floating around it, which should be the "Divine Feathers".

　After the roar, the aura of the [Demon God Abyss Walker] became profound.

　But that's just a superficial phenomenon.

　Beneath that profound depth lies an extreme madness.

　Dark could clearly sense that the [Demon God Abyss Walker] had completely lost its rationality. The reason it was standing still was simply because it was forcibly bound by the rules of magic.

　Moreover, he clearly sensed that the [Demon God Abyss Walker] was showing signs of breaking free from its restraints.

　Therefore, without hesitation, he ordered it to forcibly undo the transformation of "God's Evil", but... it failed!

　It's not that it's out of control, but rather that this transformation state is simply impossible to undo!

　The duration of "Divine Evil" is three minutes. Killing a god within those three minutes will extend the duration by three minutes. The more you kill, the longer the duration will be extended, and so on, completely beyond your control.

　If it were allowed to wreak havoc among the gods, the consequences would be predictable.

　Dark could only impose restrictions, preventing the [Demon God Abyss Walker] from taking the first step in the killing.

　Fortunately, a considerable amount of time had already been spent before the [Demon God Abyss Walker] was transformed into "God's Evil".

　Therefore, Dark held on for a little longer before the three-minute time limit for fusion survival was reached.

　With the fusion broken, the [Demon God Abyss Walker] split into three again, transforming back into three "Demon Kings".

　The filth disappeared without a trace.

　Looking at the now calm open space, Dark finally couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then he turned around and exchanged glances with the professors, and they couldn't help but laugh at the same time.

　As expected of the "Undying Demon King" three-in-one fusion, the danger of this experiment was indeed a bit excessive.

　But no one felt that this was a risk that shouldn't be taken.

　Moreover, the birth of the [Demon God Abyss Walker] actually made the professors feel somewhat at ease.

　In this era of the resurgence of the gods, having such a god-slayer as a trump card is certainly not a bad thing!

　To act in accordance with the will of the gods is merely a path of compromise. Without the means to retaliate, it is nothing more than a form of enslavement.

　The professors have devoted so much energy to research this year, isn't it all to advance themselves and gain the power to protect the academy in the future?

　Only with a gun in hand can one feel at ease.

　【Demon God Abyss Walker】is just the beginning.

　……

　After finishing up, everyone returned to the laboratory and began to study and discuss the experimental data.

　The data information for [Demon God Abyss Walker], especially the description of its ultimate skill, undoubtedly reveals many truths.

　The Abyss was the culprit that brought destruction during Ragnarok.

　However, this is not necessarily the case during the "revival of the gods".

　The Demon God Abyss Walker can open a passage to the "Abyss," which may become a path for them to enter the world where the "Abyss" is located and study it.

　However, based on the information available so far, it is best not to venture into the "Abyss" before becoming a god.

　Even after becoming a god, one must carefully prepare methods to counter the power of the "Abyss".

　Therefore, this is not being considered at present.

　But this doesn't stop the professor from speculating and discussing the "Abyss." After all, it's clearly a world completely different from their own.

　There must be completely different laws governing these two worlds—no, not necessarily!

　As the group discussed this, they suddenly realized a problem.

　"Those beings of the 'Abyss' feed on divinity and are specifically designed to attack gods. But if there are no gods in the world where the 'Abyss' exists, how did the demons from the 'Abyss' develop the ability to specifically counter the power of gods? Is it merely a coincidence?"

　The professors exchanged glances, and soon they had their answer.

　Everything has a cause and an effect; nothing arises without a root. In the world of the "Abyss," there must also be beings similar to the gods here. Only then could those "Abyss" demons develop abilities specifically for use against the gods.

　If the gods on that side were not completely devoured by the "Abyss" demon, it likely means that the gods on that side also have ways to defend against or restrain the "Abyss" demon.

　"Looking at it this way, if there's a real opportunity in the future, I might really have to go and take a look over there."

　The professors eagerly discussed it, their interest greatly piqued.

　Although Dark had also participated, his thoughts were different. Through the experiments from yesterday to today, he finally gained a more comprehensive and updated understanding of the "Seven Deadly Sins Demon God".

　This will greatly help him analyze the power of the "Seven Deadly Sins Demon God" and in the future, whether to suppress, remove, or devour it.

　At the same time, he also felt deeply about his own situation.

　Based on the information he currently has, he speculates that the "Seven Deadly Sins Demon God" also comes from the "Abyss," so its existence must be rejected by the rules of this world.

　This also means that once the demonic blood within him awakens even slightly, even by just 1%, he will be completely powerless to retreat.

　The rules of this world will also reject him, and he will no longer be favored by fate. He might end up in a terrible situation where even drinking cold water will cause him trouble.

　—Not to mention becoming a god in this world!

　Conversely, perhaps it's precisely because he has always regarded demons as gods...

　The awakening progress of the bloodline was suppressed to 0, which is why it received the favor of fate, gained the world's recognition, and obtained the strong fortune it enjoys to this day.

　The world dislikes demons and gods.

　He also disliked demons.

　He stands on the same line as the world!

　"It seems I need to keep working hard in the future."

　A subtle smile crept across Dark's lips.

　If given the choice, who wouldn't want to be the darling of the world?

　Let the "Seven Deadly Sins Demon God" continue to be his common enemy with the world.

　However, since the "Seven Deadly Sins Demon God" comes from the world where the "Abyss" is located, the laws of original sin that Sode has mastered may not be completely the same as the laws of this world.

　His current understanding of the power of the Seven Deadly Sins has not yet reached the level of touching the laws, but what if he does in the future?

　How can one comprehend the laws of that other world while living in this one?

　Even with Dark's current knowledge, he knew that was extremely unreliable.

　Perhaps one day, he will have to go to the world where the "Abyss" is located.

　But that future was far too distant. He could only imagine it in his mind.

　Fortunately, his current goal is to become a god through magic, rather than to forge a godhood through understanding the laws of the Seven Deadly Sins.

　As it stands, even if he doesn't master the power of the Seven Deadly Sins to the level of laws, it won't affect him.

　April 22nd, 11:00 AM.

　Dark and the professor finished their lunch early in the lab before leaving.

　At this point, all matters related to the Demon King have been settled. All that remains is to spread the projections, manipulate public opinion, and return Charles.

　He could roughly imagine what changes would occur in the future as a result, but that was no longer within his concern.

　He hasn't had a break since returning to the academy, and today... it seems like today won't work either. He needs to wash up and go to bed!

　Of course, it's not good to keep doing this day-night reversal, so he has to find a way to adjust his schedule and graduate from being a night owl.

　Moreover, even though he had been back at the academy for several days, he had not appeared in class even once.

　Even the strictest Professor Holdelbold didn't react at all, but he was still a student, and he had to go to the classroom at least once a week... or once a month!

　After walking and stopping frequently, Dak finally returned to his dormitory.

　He saw Eevee and Sylveon, who had just been eagerly waiting on the balcony, now lying on the bed pretending to take a nap. He turned and went into the bathroom. After washing up, he embraced them on either side and fell into a deep sleep.

　I woke up after dusk.

　Dak sat up against the bed and it took him about five minutes to sort out his rather chaotic thoughts before his brain started working again.

　Let's review first.

　He suddenly spoke, and the "Magic Secretary" flew over on its own and stuck to his face.

　He picked up the "Magic Book," opened it, and spent about half an hour reviewing the experiments of the past two days.

　Only then did he get out of bed, change his clothes, and go to the canteen to have a late-night snack instead of dinner.

　He arrived at the cafeteria and lined up. He could hear the halfling aunties in the cafeteria talking about the fancy little things the "little devil" had given him, which made him get an extra steak compared to the other students.

　As he sat down to eat, he overheard some students discussing whether they should make a deal with the "Cosmic Brain Monster".

　With final exams approaching, students know they shouldn't be lazy, but it's hard not to. Naturally, they think of the "Cosmic Brain Monster's" Mind Trading Shop.

　—Everything seems to have returned to normal, and the impact of the World Cup is gradually fading.

　But the changes have already happened, and the past is the past.

　Just a few minutes after Dak sat down, a senior female student ran over hand in hand with him.

　He initially thought his senior had something important to say, but it turned out she just wanted an autograph.

　—He was the fourth-place finisher in the first World Cup, so it's normal for him to be asked for an autograph.

　But soon after, more and more students came to ask him for autographs, and they even lined up.

　He knew then that those two female seniors had betrayed him.

　As the student whose performance in this World Cup was second only to the three professors, Darke's influence within the academy is growing day by day.

　Especially since he has been staying home and out of sight for the past few days, the students' emotions, which had been building up for several days, finally erupted tonight, resulting in this scene that resembles a fan signing event.

　He felt somewhat helpless, but he had no choice but to deal with it patiently, not wanting to spend the entire night there.

　However, the halfling cook brought him a few cups of tea during this time, which cheered him up considerably.

　Half past nine in the evening.

　The number of students coming to ask for autographs finally dwindled. Taking advantage of an empty queue, Dak quickly thanked the halfling chef and left the cafeteria.

　But as soon as he stepped out of the cafeteria, he was caught red-handed by people waiting by the cafeteria entrance.

　—It's Emma Metis!

　……

　Emma was clearly waiting here on purpose.

　Dark met her gaze, then slowed his pace, closed the "Magic Book," and continued walking forward with it in his hand.

　Emma followed suit, and hesitantly said, "I have some questions I'd like to ask you."

　It's only been a few days, how come we've become so distant?

　Dark shook his head and said with a smile, "The library? The office will do!"

　As he spoke, he walked toward his mathematics professor's office.

　—Although he is no longer a professor, his office is still there.

　Discussing issues in the library isn't ideal; the office is much quieter.

　Emma looked up, blinked, and quickly followed. No, after that.

　The two arrived at the office, and Dark used his magic to unlock the door and enter.

　There wasn't anything important in his office, so no security measures were taken.

　Pushing open the door, a little dust fell out.

　Dark waved his hand, and magic created a wind that swept up the dust and carried it outside.

　He then closed the door, sat down with Emma at the reception table, and began, "About academic matters."

　Emma shook her head and said, "Not that." Dark asked curiously, "Then what is it?"

　Emma carefully considered her words before saying, "I received an invitation." Dark paused for about half a second before immediately recalling an organization that might have recently sent out invitations.

　He immediately asked, "The twelve gods of Poropus?"

　Emma nodded, then said somewhat hesitantly, "It's Hestia, the 'Goddess of the Hearth'."

　"Hestia," Dark couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
