Upon seeing Rosen before it, the Darkness Devil felt a strong sense of alarm.
It could not sense any threat from this man, but the more so, the stranger it found him.
Its Bell Blade was shattered by the man, something even the notorious Chainsaw Devil could not do.
Although the devils of Hell feared the Chainsaw Devil, the Darkness Devil had no reason to fear the Chainsaw Devil.
Because it was the embodiment of darkness, the materialization of humanity's fear of darkness over thousands of years.
It was not an exaggeration to say it was the strongest devil ever.
However, even a lion uses its full strength to catch a rabbit.
After all, the helpers Makima found were indeed not to be underestimated.
At least they were stronger than most devils in Hell.
Therefore, less than two seconds after Rosen appeared, the Darkness Devil clasped its hands together.
The power of darkness squeezed towards Rosen, but before that power could descend, the Darkness Devil heard Rosen softly utter: "Kneel."
"?"
The Darkness Devil was a little confused.
But this thought lasted only an instant before it knelt on the ground due to a sudden immense pressure.
At this moment, the Darkness Devil still maintained its hands clasped together, looking like a devout worshipper kneeling on the ground, praying to Rosen.
"This scene… classic."
Gabriel's eyes could see even in the darkness, not to mention Rosen was currently radiating holy light all around him, making him as conspicuous as a speck of ink on white paper.
The sight of the Darkness Devil kneeling reminded Gabriel of when the Darkness Devil first appeared, with several astronauts on the moon, their upper bodies with hands clasped in prayer, and their lower bodies inverted into the ground, forming a path, at the end of which was the faint figure of the Darkness Devil.
The meaning of that scene was self-evident.
The Darkness Devil was the embodiment of darkness, and humanity's exploration of the universe was a hymn to courage.
But even so, humanity still had to show reverence for darkness.
That was the Darkness Devil's warning.
No matter how far human civilization developed, it must always revere darkness.
And one of the reasons Gabriel volunteered was to teach the Darkness Devil a good lesson, not to underestimate the light.
However, she didn't expect that even with her and her good sisters combined, they were no match for the Darkness Devil.
If Rosen wasn't here, she would have been tempted to use the Destruction Horn to obliterate all of Hell.
But then she remembered that Hell and the human world were two sides of the same coin.
When devils were killed by ordinary means, they would descend into the human world, and when killed in the human world, they would return to Hell.
The reason the Chainsaw Devil became an object of fear for other devils was that devils swallowed by the Chainsaw Devil could not be resurrected.
Therefore, even using the Destruction Horn would only make the devils undergo a reincarnation.
However, Gabriel also didn't expect the Darkness Devil to be stronger than imagined. What happened to light restraining darkness?
If only she had known, she would have reviewed the lessons she learned at the Heavenly School before coming here!
"Is this a Word of Power?"
Rias looked somewhat lost in thought.
Previously, when she saw other group members in the chat explaining that Rosen was the one true God of another world, she was only half-believing.
However, upon seeing the powerful Darkness Devil kneel before him with just a single word from Rosen, she had already believed it by eighty or ninety percent.
Although she was a devil, she had heard many stories about the Bible when she was young.
The power of the God of the Bible was deeply ingrained in people's hearts, capable of dominating all things with just a word.
However, for humans, if the Bible was a story of salvation and punishing evil to promote good, then for devils, it was a complete horror story.
After all, the main villains in it were them.
"Ahhhhh…"
The Darkness Devil, kneeling on the ground, reacted with an unprecedented surge of agitation.
The meaning of kneeling was an insult above all else.
It had descended before, demanding humanity revere the darkness, yet now it knelt before another. Wasn't that an expression of its own reverence for this man?
All the heads on Darkness Devil's body howled in unison, its arms propped on the ground, trying to get up.
At the same time, it controlled the invisible power of darkness, vowing to crush the man before it.
But things didn't go as planned.
Even if its arms bent and broke, it was useless.
Darkness Devil couldn't get up; instead, the pressure upon it intensified due to its resistance.
Immediately after, a dark halo appeared above its head.
The Bell Blade reappeared, and the bells hanging at its end immediately vibrated.
This was accompanied by a sound like a frog's croak.
But before Darkness Devil could exert any force, Rosen, holding the Holy Spear, pierced Darkness Devil's head.
The spear tip plunged deep into Darkness Devil's skull, nailing it firmly to the ground.
At this moment, the Bell Blade and the darkness quickly dissipated like a tide, and after the dark domain vanished, the people who had been teleported there were able to see the light of day again.
Makima's heart fluttered when she saw this scene.
Her orange eyes sparkled continuously, as if glowing.
At this moment.
Rosen's image overshadowed everything else in her mind.
A strong desire forced her body to react.
Domination.
Makima wanted to dominate the man before her; she wanted to dominate God.
But Makima knew such a thing was impossible.
Devils cannot dominate God, but God has always dominated Devils.
Makima wanted to rush up immediately and hug Rosen, to be close to Him, to feel everything about Him.
However, Makima managed to suppress this strong desire with difficulty.
Because she knew the matter was not yet over.
Rosen looked at the twisted Darkness Devil, lying in a pool of blood, with only one head able to lift and look at him.
And this was the mercy He could bestow.
"Tell me, will you submit to My glory?"
Upon hearing these words.
Darkness Devil's body trembled violently.
It also uttered a strange syllable.
Rosen quickly understood its meaning.
"Do you think you can control darkness?!"
"Currently, no, but that doesn't mean I can't do it in the future."
Rosen chuckled softly.
"This should be your answer, then."
"From now on, you will stay in Hell and never come out again."
As his words fell.
Rosen extended his right hand and drew a cross in the void.
Then, everyone saw a golden cross restrain Darkness Devil, which then slowly floated up.
Its limbs, head, and body were all bound within the cross.
"Go."
Rosen manipulated the cross, inserting it into the soil of Hell.
Intense light eroded Darkness Devil's body, causing it to let out painful roars, but not enough to kill it.
