As always, Guy Crimson couldn't resist the allure of a challenge, especially when someone claimed to surpass him in strength. Beerus's calm declaration of superiority over all present piqued his pride and competitive nature. Smirking, Guy leaned forward in his chair, his crimson eyes blazing with excitement. "So, you're the new Demon Lord everyone's talking about? The one who awakened a few days ago? Why don't we see how strong you really are?"
Beerus tilted his head slightly, his expression impassive, but his golden eyes gleamed with amusement. "Why don't you try and find out?"The room went still, the air heavy with anticipation. Guy's grin widened as he prepared to make a move, the fiery energy of his Ultimate Skill: Prideful King Lucifer beginning to manifest. His power was undeniable—primal and overwhelming—but before he could act, Beerus simply released his aura.
The effect was immediate and catastrophic.A wave of oppressive energy crashed through the chamber like a tidal wave, its sheer weight forcing every living being present to their knees. Rain and Misery, Guy's closest subordinates and primordial demons renowned for their strength, didn't even have the chance to react. Their eyes rolled back as they collapsed to the ground, unconscious, their bodies trembling under the crushing force. Gunther, Luminous Valentine's pseudo-demon lord, toppled over instantly, his body convulsing from the pressure.
Even the Demon Lords weren't spared. Luminous Valentine, her vampiric pride shattered, struggled to keep herself upright.Her hands trembled as she gripped the armrests of her chair, her mind screaming in panic. "This… pressure… It's like the weight of the entire world…" Her breathing grew ragged, and she was on the verge of blacking out.
Draguel, the titan known for his resilience, let out a guttural roar as he tried to push back against the overwhelming force. His massive frame shook violently, veins bulging as he poured all his energy into resisting. But no matter how much power he summoned, it was useless. "Impossible… Who… what is this monster?!" he bellowed before falling to one knee, his aura flickering and breaking apart like brittle glass.Even Milim Nava, the Chaos Demon herself, known for her boundless strength and recklessness, froze in place. Her ultimate skill, Wrathful King Satanael, began to activate instinctively, feeding off her panic, but it couldn't shield her from the overwhelming aura. Her hands shook uncontrollably, and for the first time in her life, she felt utterly powerless. "What… is this feeling?" she whispered, her voice barely audible. Her Milim Eyes, capable of seeing the true nature of things, could glean no limits to Beerus's strength. Her heart raced, and her body refused to move. If not for the barrier Beerus placed around her, she might have collapsed entirely.All across the world, the consequences of Beerus's aura rippled. Monsters, humans, and even the strongest warriors of various nations fell to their knees, unable to comprehend the source of the suffocating fear consuming them. The skies darkened, storms erupted, and earthquakes shook the land as if the planet itself was reacting to his overwhelming presence.
Back in the chamber, Guy Crimson, who had been so eager to fight moments ago, now sat frozen in his chair. His smirk had vanished, replaced by wide eyes and beads of sweat dripping down his face. His body was paralyzed, and his pride—his very essence—was under assault. Despite his best efforts, he couldn't even muster the strength to stand. The unshakable Guy Crimson, the ruler of the Ice Continent and the strongest Demon Lord, was completely overpowered by the mere presence of this being.
Beerus finally spoke, his tone calm but carrying an undeniable weight. "This is what you call the strongest? You can't even withstand a fraction of my aura. How disappointing."
The words struck like a hammer, shattering the remnants of Guy's pride. The once unshakable demon lord gritted his teeth, forcing himself to move, but even that was a monumental struggle. Beerus, noticing the feeble effort, smirked and walked toward him. With each step, the pressure intensified, focusing solely on Guy.The others in the room, who had only barely begun to recover thanks to the barriers Beerus placed on them, watched in stunned silence. None of them dared to speak, move, or even breathe too loudly, for fear of drawing Beerus's attention.
By the time Beerus stood directly before Guy, the red-haired demon lord was on his knees, his head bowed under the weight of the aura. His chair had long since shattered, and the floor beneath him cracked from the pressure. Beerus crouched slightly, meeting Guy's eyes, his golden gaze drilling into his very soul."You wanted a fight, didn't you?" Beerus said, his voice dripping with condescension. "I'll humor you. But let's make it interesting. If I win—and I will—you'll give me your two subordinates, Rain and Misery. And if you win…" Beerus's smirk widened. "Well, let's be honest, you're not going to win. But I'll make this simple: I won't kill you."
The room was silent. The weight of Beerus's words hung in the air as the other Demon Lords stared in disbelief. For the first time, Guy Crimson, the strongest, most prideful Demon Lord, was rendered speechless. Fear gripped his heart as he realized just how outmatched he truly was.Beerus allowed the pressure to subside slightly, giving Guy just enough room to respond. Guy, still shaking, managed to force a grin, though it lacked his usual confidence. "Fine," he rasped, his voice hoarse. "I accept… but don't think I'll go down without a fight."
Beerus chuckled, straightening up. "Good. Let's see if you can at least entertain me." With a wave of his hand, the entire group was transported to a separate dimension, one capable of withstanding the clash of such overwhelming powers.As the battle was about to begin, one thought lingered in everyone's mind: This wasn't just a new Demon Lord—they were in the presence of a being that could shake the very foundations of the world.
