Midoki returns from another plane and finds himself face-to-face with a figure who serves as Marcos' right hand. They talk and laugh together before rejoining the others in the Demon King's main hall. This figure, once an angel, fell and was sealed in the Underworld, transforming into a Nephilim. The breaking of his seal—triggered by Midoki's Resonance power during training with Lancy—opened a passage from the Underworld to Gaia (Earth), giving this character the opportunity to enact his long-held plans.
Lucifer, the fallen angel turned Nephilim, appears before the Sacred Knights and the Demon King. His eyes, glowing with a mix of anger and sorrow, lock onto Midoki, whose presence inadvertently broke the seal that kept him imprisoned for ages. Lucifer's overwhelming aura causes even lower demons to shrink back in fear.
Lucifer decides it is time to reveal his true intentions, leaving Marcos disappointed but unsurprised.
Turning to the Sacred Knights, he declares:
- Lucifer: "Thanks to you, Midoki, I now have hope," Lucifer murmurs, his voice tinged with a mix of emotion and sarcasm.
Lucifer reveals that he had been sealed in the Underworld for centuries, condemned to isolation following his fall from the heavens. The seal, intended to be indestructible, began to weaken due to the Resonance of Midoki's cosmic power during his training with Lancy. This Resonance, though unintentional, was the catalyst Lucifer needed to shatter the seal and escape.
- Lucifer: "I was once an angel… And now I am a Nephilim, a creature caught between the divine and the demonic. But you, Midoki, with your power... you've given me a new chance. A chance to fulfill what I was destined to do. For millennia, I waited for an opportunity like this. I never imagined a child would be the one to free me from the Underworld… but now that I am free, the balance of the realms will be remade, and those who betrayed me will pay with their lives."
Determined to stop Lucifer and his sinister plans, Midoki activates the Law of Originalism – Destruction, imbuing his katana with the power of Destruction. With fiery determination, he charges toward Lucifer, ready to confront the Nephilim who now threatens the realms.
The scene sets the stage for an intense battle, where cosmic powers clash, their echoes resounding through dimensional corridors. Midoki, driven by his role as a guardian of balance, faces Lucifer, who seeks to fulfill his dark designs. This epic battle promises to shape not only the fates of those involved but also the course of events in the vast universe you've created.
The disparity in power between Midoki, still at a basic level as a child, and Lucifer, who has reached the strength of a Calamity in his Base Form, adds significant tension to the confrontation. The challenge for Midoki becomes monumental in the face of Lucifer's overwhelming might.
This asymmetry not only heightens the battle's intensity but also creates space for Midoki's growth and development throughout the narrative. As a child facing a threat of calamitous proportions, Midoki's potential to push past his own limits and reach new heights of power promises to be a compelling element of the story.
The intervention of Lancy and Cusadler in the battle between Midoki and Lucifer is thwarted by the 20 Infernal Generals, led by Belphegor and Lilith. These formidable infernal entities act as a barrier, preventing the Sacred Knights from interfering in the clash between the Nephilim and Midoki.
The unique abilities of Lilith and Belphegor add intrigue to the conflict. Lilith, with her Lifedrain perk, employs seductive manipulation, siphoning life from anyone who falls under her spell, creating a dangerous and unique dynamic in the confrontation.
Belphegor, on the other hand, wields Infernal Flames, a spiritual technique from his Burden of Eternal Flames ability, summoning the fiery might of the Underworld. His Impatience perk introduces a strategic twist, punishing opponents unable to withstand the infernal flames.
Lilith's seductive technique, Attraction, ensnares Cusadler in an irresistible web, where her demonic beauty exerts dominance over the Sacred Knights' leader. Cusadler, captivated by Lilith's unique ability, finds himself entranced by feelings that transcend the imminent battle.
While Cusadler succumbs to Lilith's allure, her spiritual technique reveals its dark side. The Sacred Knights' leader's life force begins to drain away, rendering him vulnerable to the perilous cost of this fatal passion. The irony unfolds as Cusadler, initially enchanted by her beauty, faces the deadly consequences of Lilith's irresistible spiritual ability.
