In the blink of an eye, a day passed.
In the Dark Demon Realm, Mechikabura, who had been meditating with closed eyes, finally heard the good news he had been waiting for.
Due to Demigra continuously using his Power of Time at the expense of his own strength, the seal on the last dark dragon ball was about to be broken ahead of time!
"Good!"
Upon hearing this news, Mechikabura immediately opened his eyes, stood up, and walked towards the altar at the top level of the Demon King's Castle.
The seven dark dragon balls were placed there.
When Mechikabura appeared on the altar, he saw Demigra in the center, continuously channeling his Power of Time.
Due to the continuous consumption of the Power of Law throughout the day, Demigra's red hair had turned largely white, and his face was covered with wrinkles, making him appear to have aged thousands of years overnight.
"Zalama!"
Dragon God Zalama turned his head and smiled, "Mechikabura, look, the dark dragon ball is about to be unsealed."
"Don't forget your promise!" Mechikabura reminded.
Zalama smiled slightly, "Of course."
Before long, under the watchful eyes of Mechikabura and Zalama, Demigra finally broke the time seal on the last dragon ball.
The seven dark dragon balls began to emit a blood-red light, as if some demonic creature was about to be born.
"Zalama!"
"Mechikabura! The day has finally come!"
The two then walked towards the altar together.
Behind them, all the Demon Gods of the Dark Demon Realm had arrived, along with a large number of Demon Realm soldiers.
Thud!
Demigra, who had been using the Power of Law all day, finally collapsed as the two approached.
Mechikabura looked coldly at his arrogant and unruly subordinate and smiled, "Demigra, you've worked hard."
"…"
Demigra clenched his fists tightly, his heart full of curses, but he did not dare to speak for fear of provoking Mechikabura again.
Because Demigra was passive, the Demon Realm army suffered heavy losses in the Time Nest, leading to Mechikabura's harsh punishment of him.
"Well then, Mechikabura, let's begin the ceremony." Zalama prepared to summon the divine dragon.
But at this moment, Mechikabura stopped him, "Zalama, don't forget our agreement."
"Hmph! Mechikabura, didn't we agree to talk after I lift the seal?"
"Zalama, you must fulfill your promise now," Mechikabura insisted.
Their cooperation was based on mutual interests. Now that their plan was at its final stage, Mechikabura had to guard against Zalama going back on his word.
Fortunately, Zalama seemed to have no such intention.
"I know, you are really overly suspicious."
"Because of your suspicion, this clone of mine will be crippled."
Mechikabura replied immediately, "Your true body is about to be resurrected, so one clone being crippled doesn't matter."
Zalama shrugged helplessly and then raised his hand towards him.
"Alright, as you wish."
In an instant, a dazzling golden light appeared on Zalama's body, and those around could feel an incredibly powerful Power of Miracles condensing within his body.
The Demon Gods became alert and prepared to surround Zalama.
But at this moment, Mechikabura raised his hand.
"Don't move."
Everyone froze in place.
Then, under their watchful eyes, the Power of Miracles within Zalama's body fully emerged and enveloped Mechikabura.
A power, gentle yet full of vitality, flowed through Mechikabura's body.
Mechikabura felt his body gradually warming up. Before long, a life force surged through him, rejuvenating his body that had aged for tens of millions of years.
Mechikabura realized that his body was gradually becoming younger!
However, as Mechikabura began to regain his youth, Zalama in front of him aged rapidly.
In just a few seconds, Zalama had become as frail as a dry skeleton.
"Mechikabura…"
A feeble voice came from Zalama, "Your life force has been sealed for too long. Even my power can't instantly restore your youth. It will take some time to fully restore you to your peak condition."
"Hahaha… I understand." Mechikabura looked at his gradually recovering body, unable to suppress his smile.
"Zalama, you can proceed now!"
"Hmph…"
Zalama snorted coldly and moved with difficulty towards the dark dragon balls.
"Come forth, dark divine dragon!"
As Zalama's words fell, the seven dark dragon balls suddenly lit up. Then, an enormous creature appeared in the sky above the Demon Realm, almost covering the entire realm.
Its immense body caused most of the living beings in the Dark Demon Realm to shudder.
It was an extremely evil black divine dragon, hovering above the Demon Realm.
"Those who have gathered the seven dark dragon balls, state thy wish. Any wish can be granted, but before that, you must offer your sacrifice!"
The dark divine dragon's words were similar to an ordinary divine dragon, but its last sentence left everyone except Mechikabura and Zalama stunned.
"Sacrifice? Do you need a sacrifice to summon the divine dragon?"
"I don't know. I haven't heard of it."
"What is the sacrifice?"
Mechikabura and Zalama didn't answer the crowd's questions but looked at each other.
Then, Mechikabura signaled Zalama with his eyes, directing his gaze towards Demigra.
Demigra noticed the malicious look from Zalama and immediately shouted, "What do you want to do?"
"Demigra, this is your final punishment. Become Zalama's sacrifice and let the dark divine dragon grant his wish," Mechikabura said faintly.
"What?!"
Demigra was stunned and immediately tried to get up, but at that moment, Zalama had already pointed at him.
"Dark divine dragon, that is your sacrifice."
"Roar!"
With a dragon's roar, the enormous dragon head suddenly descended from the sky and bit Demigra.
The second-in-command of the Dark Demon Realm couldn't even struggle and was immediately swallowed by the dark divine dragon.
Blood dripped from the dragon's mouth.
All the Demon Gods were stunned.
