The battle ended.
Or rather, it ended with Rosen's unilateral crushing victory.
Fubuki walked over, shaking her arm, and marveled at Darkness Devil sealed within the cross.
"Such a powerful guy, if he were on my side, he'd at least be classified as a Dragon-level disaster or higher."
In terms of both threat level and destructive power, Darkness Devil was the most formidable monster Fubuki had ever seen.
Perhaps even her sister, Tatsumaki, wouldn't fare well against Darkness Devil.
"But why didn't you kill it?"
"Such a terrifying Devil should be dealt with as soon as possible."
Frieren held her staff, looking at the monster roaring in its seal, a clear expression of disgust on her face.
She hadn't observed it closely before.
Now, staring at it carefully, she felt a physiological urge to vomit.
This thing was truly disgusting.
Compared to it, even those demons looked much better.
However, comparing demons and Darkness Devil, Frieren still thought Darkness Devil was more "adorable."
After all, Darkness Devil always followed the wicked path.
It was the kind of character whose alignment was clear at a glance.
But demons could transform into human forms and even imitate human emotions, yet in reality, they were pure evil.
The others also walked over, curiously looking at Darkness Devil, which had previously defeated all of them.
In contrast, among the women present, Tokisaki Kurumi and Makima's gazes remained fixed on Rosen, filled with longing and a hint of admiration.
"Darkness Devil is the embodiment of darkness. According to this world's setting, if killing the corresponding Devil makes the corresponding concept disappear, then although I have the ability to kill Darkness Devil, it might lead to more serious problems."
When Rosen spoke to this point, the group members all guessed what would happen.
"So, if it dies, darkness will disappear?"
Marcille asked.
"Possibly, possibly not. After all, darkness was originally just a physical phenomenon; it existed before Darkness Devil was born. At the same time, darkness also represents the unknown. If I kill it, it might kill humanity's fear of the unknown. If that's the case, human civilization might face a stagnant state of not striving for progress."
Darkness Devil appeared in the original work and killed several astronauts, stirring up humanity's fear of the unknown and darkness.
But the more this happened, the more people would think about how to overcome the unknown and darkness.
If Darkness Devil were killed, humans would be scared for a moment, and then the matter would be forgotten.
Everything is like this.
"I see. If that's true, sealing it is indeed the best method."
Rias nodded.
"So, Root Demons are really annoying! They can't be killed."
Gabriel scratched her head.
"Just consider them a concept or rule of a certain part of the Earth. If there were a Gravity Devil in this world, killing it might cause gravity to disappear."
Although a Gravity Devil might not really exist.
After all, one of the conditions for Devils to appear is human fear.
The more fear, the stronger the Devil's power.
Perhaps this is why the newly refreshed group quest offered two paths: killing or sealing.
And generally speaking.
Even Chainsaw Devil cannot kill Darkness Devil.
After all, Darkness Devil is one of the only Devils in Hell that has never died.
While Chainsaw Devil, as the protagonist, has died several times.
Under normal circumstances, Darkness Devil cannot be killed. Firstly, due to the power gap, and secondly, even if killed, it only regenerates in the human world.
Hearing Rosen's analysis, the women also realized.
It seemed to be true.
However, they didn't care; as long as it could be resolved smoothly, it was fine.
Of course, among these people, only Makima was not entirely satisfied.
If she were Rosen, she would definitely kill Darkness Devil completely.
Humans don't need to fear darkness and the unknown; they just need to live peacefully in a utopian world.
But she wasn't Rosen; she didn't have the ability to kill Darkness Devil, nor could she order Rosen.
"Side Quest 1 has been marked as resolved. Should we deal with Side Quest 2 next?"
Du Dao stepped forward to show her presence.
After all, she had no room to intervene in the previous battle.
Her psychokinesis wasn't as good as Fubuki's, her magic wasn't as good as Marcille's or Frieren's, and the only thing worth mentioning was her physical strength.
But against Darkness Devil, even if her physical strength was stronger, she would be twisted into a pretzel the moment she got close.
0... ... ... Please give flowers
"Of course, we need to deal with it."
Rosen thought.
Actually, compared to Darkness Devil, Hell Devil was much easier to handle.
It wasn't a Root Devil, and its strength wasn't particularly high.
After all, in this world, few people explicitly express their fear of Hell.
For most people, Hell is just like a place name.
After all, few people would be afraid of a place name, right?
Moreover, the method of summoning Hell Devil was very simple.
In the original work, Hell Devil, as a public transport between Hell and the human world, had been ridden by countless characters.
In comparison, the price paid was much lighter.
Only a few human lives were needed.
And Rosen didn't need such troublesome methods to summon Hell Devil.
. ..... ....
Using divine power as a guide, he called out Hell Devil's name.
Compared to human lives, divine power was clearly more attractive to these supernatural beings.
Accompanied by a strong sense of oppression, and at the same time, a smell of sulfur lingering in his nostrils, a skeletal centaur-like monster, surrounded by hellfire, appeared before Rosen.
Originally, Hell Devil thought it was just another ordinary transaction.
It would take lives and teleport the target.
But when the centaur-like Hell Devil saw Darkness Devil sealed in the cross coffin, a premonition of ill omen immediately arose in its heart.
It realized it had been tricked.
No reward, no transaction.
There was only its fellow kind, who had clearly been beaten up and were now being tortured.
At the same time, it happened to meet Rosen's half-smile.
The Devil of Hell's heart immediately skipped a beat, and it opened the gates of hell, intending to flee.
However, before that, Rosen reached out and pressed down on the gate, a faint smile on his face: "Since you've come, don't leave."
Considering the possibility that hell might disappear after killing the Devil of Hell, Rosen decided to temporarily seal it.
Subsequently, the Cross Coffin reappeared, trapping the Devil of Hell within it.
"Uh, here's a problem. The Devil of Hell is sealed. How do we get back?"
Frieren's pointed ears twitched.
And in the next second.
Everyone was brought back to their original positions by Rosen's Godspeed.
