Stanis, also known as the Satanic Man, is a second-tier demon who can be called a Hell Lord in the Hell Plane.
He is considered one of the most powerful contenders for the Hell King, "Satan."
However, his strength is relatively weak and incomparable to Mephisto, who is also a Hell Lord.
Mephisto not only far surpasses him in strength but also completely overwhelms him in strategy.
Under Mephisto's relentless attacks, Stanis suffered repeated defeats.
At a critical moment, he pledged allegiance to Dormammu, the King of the Dark Dimension, which allowed him to maintain his base.
But today, Stanis's territory welcomed an uninvited guest.
Seeing this girl with long silver-white hair, Stanis was furious!
It wasn't out of fear; Stanis was quite confident in his own territory!
As a Hell Lord, Stanis frequently caused trouble on Earth.
He often used deceptive agreements to imprison the souls of believers, turning them into his enslaved "Fatal Legion."
Throughout human history, many notorious historical figures have become part of his "Fatal Legion."
Stanis admitted he was inferior to Mephisto, but Mephisto, like him, was a Hell Lord.
So what was this demon that appeared out of nowhere?
What about the Sorcerer Supreme?
Stanis admitted that the Ancient One was very strong, incredibly talented, and only a few others in the vast annals of human history could compare.
But even the Ancient One would not dare to act presumptuously in Hell!
What made Stanis even more resentful was that at this time, many Loki and demons coveted Earth, but this one chose him to establish her authority.
What did that mean? Was she looking down on him?
Did she think he was a soft persimmon that could be easily squeezed?
Stanis stood up, his hundred-meter-tall body forming a stark contrast with Rimuru.
Rimuru was utterly tiny in front of him.
"The ignorant are fearless; to dare to enter my domain alone, I must commend your courage. Since you've come, then stay!"
Stanis's dark domain trembled, and the world's laws were at his command.
But Rimuru's eyes were fiery red, without the slightest change, and no emotional fluctuation was visible within them.
"Stanis, Quasi-Father-level. With the Hell domain's boost, barely reaching Father-level. Can be obliterated."
A voice devoid of any emotional fluctuation sounded, and then Rimuru extended a hand.
Instantly, a massive magic circle appeared at Stanis's feet; this was one of the practical applications of magic.
Like a prison, it instantly trapped Stanis in the center.
Boom!
Thousands of lightning bolts erupted, and Stanis's body was instantly engulfed by an endless torrent of lightning.
Rimuru's lightning was not ordinary lightning; it was supreme divine lightning formed by combining Asgard's God's Judgement, Bosart's Lightning, and Black Flame Lightning.
It inherently possessed a sacred attribute, naturally countering demons like Stanis.
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
Stanis's nearly hundred-meter-tall demon body began to crumble inch by inch under this endless lightning.
Even his demon soul was torn, shattered, and annihilated under the divine lightning.
Stanis was greatly alarmed. What kind of lightning was this?
It could even annihilate his demon body and demon soul!
Stanis was somewhat afraid and began to frantically slam against the barrier, attempting to break free.
But how could the barrier prison set up by Rimuru after her awakening be so easily broken?
"Strong one from Midgard, I surrender! You cannot kill me! We demons and Loki have an agreement with Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One; killing me will inevitably provoke a counterattack from all the gods and demons. By then, Midgard will be finished!"
Facing Stanis's threat, Rimuru's fiery red eyes showed no change, and the endless lightning made her silver hair even more brilliant.
"What does Ancient One's agreement have to do with me?"
Boom!
A lightning pillar thick as a building descended from the sky, piercing through the heavens. After it struck, it instantly reduced the ground within the barrier to ashes.
"Devil!"
Feeling the destructive power of the divine lightning, the evil souls of the Fatal Legion all knelt on the ground, trembling.
When the lightning dispersed, a thousand-meter-wide abyss was left on the ground.
A ball of soul fire continuously flickered; Stanis, who had just been blasted to ashes by Rimuru, was reborn.
However, his form had shrunk from over a hundred meters tall to only a few tens of meters, more than half his original size.
Stanis looked at Rimuru in fear and begged, "Strong one from Midgard, I admit defeat. I promise never to step foot on Earth again. Please spare my life!"
The strong winds brought by the powerful lightning had not yet subsided, making Rimuru's clothes flap loudly.
Her silver hair, spread out like the sacred wings of an angel, made the demons even more terrified.
"Stanis, after rebirth, your strength has fallen to Quasi-Father-level. Equivalent to three Thors. Can be annihilated."
Rimuru's face remained expressionless, and she extended her hand again.
"Wait!"
Stanis was horrified. Damn it, he had already promised not to cause trouble on Earth—so why was she still calling for his death?
Was she really going to offend all the demons in existence?
Also, what the hell did "equivalent to three Thors" mean?
"Great strong one, please calm down, please calm down! My life is linked to this demonic realm. As long as this demonic realm is not destroyed, you cannot completely annihilate me. Stop, please stop!"
Stanis's heart bled. His life was linked to this demonic realm, making it almost impossible to kill him completely.
But every time he was killed, his strength would sharply decrease.
If his strength fell below a certain threshold, he estimated he wouldn't even be able to keep his position as a Hell Lord, let alone contend with Mephisto.
In Rimuru's fiery red eyes, various runes and formulas constantly flashed.
"Confirmation complete. Stanis did not lie."
Stanis was overjoyed, although revealing his secret was a bit embarrassing.
But this newly emerged silver-haired strong one was incredibly powerful, and her lightning naturally countered him.
He had no choice but to yield!
But at this moment, Stanis heard a voice in his ears that filled him with extreme dread again.
"Confirmation complete. The current amount of demonic energy is sufficient to completely erase this demonic realm. Commencing execution."
Stanis was dumbfounded.
Damn it, there was such a lunatic on Earth who could casually erase a demonic realm?
Holy cow, who was the demon here?
But it was too late. Endless lightning descended from the sky, the earth cracked, rivers dried up, and landmasses shifted.
Earthquakes, volcanoes, endless lava…
Half an hour later.
Stanis's Hell domain collapsed, the Fatal Legion was completely annihilated, and the Hell Lord Stanis was reduced to ashes!
All the demons who had been observing this battle fell silent, and many weaker demons trembled, their apprehension toward Rimuru even surpassing that for the Ancient One.
Damn it, this was a lunatic!
To kill Stanis, she directly erased a demonic realm in Hell.
This was too terrifying!
Also, the amount of magic she possessed was completely comparable to a low-level dimension.
One person being a dimension in herself—this was simply outrageous!
The reason dimension demons are powerful is that they control a dimension and possess an almost infinite source of power.
But demons are also limited by their own dimensions; they can't carry their dimensions with them to conquer territories, can they?
Rimuru, however, had no such restriction; she was a dimension herself!
The fall of a demon was a celebration for Rimuru. By completely annihilating the veteran Hell Lord Stanis, Rimuru definitively announced the birth of a new overlord!
