As Lucifer explained, Keyaru's eyes widened more and more with each passing moment. The appearance of Lucifer wasn't a disaster—it was a golden opportunity. An opportunity that would aid in his revenge.
"Mr. Lucifer... if I accept this offer, exactly what benefits will I receive?"
Keyaru asked after a short pause. His twisted brain circuits were rapidly analyzing the situation.
The kind, naive, innocent Keyaru had long since died.
Now, only an old fox remained—a being who only cared about revenge and his own desires. It was only natural for this new Keyaru to seek profit.
"As the Chosen of Heaven, I shall allow you to become the vessel of my existence... and share a portion of my power with you."
Lucifer replied with a tone laced with pride. He fully understood what tempted Keyaru.
"Rejoice, mortal... for you shall become the vessel of an archangel."
Keyaru smirked. As someone who was strong, he could sense Lucifer's power—a great angel who had transcended the laws and approached the domain of God. A being who was now going to grant Keyaru a portion of his infinite power.
"Of course, Your Majesty Lucifer... I'm very pleased that a being like me can become the vessel of someone as great as you."
Keyaru replied with a fake smile.
"Hm... it seems you have at least some self-awareness."
Lucifer said with a satisfied smile.
But before continuing, he paused:
"One question... with the power I feel from you, you could easily free yourself. So why did you let them do this to you?"
"Obviously... because I want to get revenge later."
Keyaru's smile suddenly turned sadistic—his eyes gleamed with a sick excitement.
Lucifer sighed:
"Just as I thought... no matter how hard I try, I can't understand the mindset of you lowly mortals. Let's begin."
Lucifer's body turned into a radiant light and penetrated into Keyaru.
Pain... unimaginable pain.
Keyaru felt his body catch fire—his bones shattered, his muscles torn apart, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
His eyes burned, as if acid had been poured into them. His body and soul were being recreated—an enforced evolution to escape the chains of his bloodline.
But Keyaru, who had endured far worse pain, gritted his teeth and endured. He knew this transformation ritual was the price for gaining power.
And now... it was over.
Lucifer had settled into Keyaru's heart—a godlike presence that would destroy him in an instant if Keyaru dared to betray him.
Keyaru knew this... and didn't dare break the contract.
But it was worth it.
Even a fraction of this power... how terrifying it was!
Keyaru was tens—maybe hundreds—of times stronger than before.
This energy was addictive, a thousand times more pleasurable than any sexual experience... a thousand times more euphoric than any drug.
"So this is the power of a great angel... magnificent!"
Keyaru smirked.
"Now even Heaven and God are on my side... Flare, you're truly screwed!"
Thinking about revenge, his face twisted with joy. No one could stop him now.
"Now... with the power of God, I can do anything."

In Heaven:
Samael slowly awoke. In his true form—not as an avatar—no angel noticed his awakening. The divine dimension of reincarnation was his body... and all the beings within it were like cells of a massive organism.
The day this dimension grows to the size of a universe—or even a multiverse—that day, Samael will become the world itself.
The beings inside would never realize they lived within the body of a god.
Now that he had reached a higher transcendent realm, even he didn't know how powerful he had become. He felt like he could destroy his past self with a single gesture.
And he had gained a new ability—he knew what it was even without a system. Previously, Samael used the Law of Reincarnation, like other gods who drew upon their divinity.
But now... it was as if he was becoming a part of the Law of Reincarnation itself. He wasn't complete yet, but his fusion percentage with the concept increased day by day.
"Status."
He whispered.
[Name: Samael]
[Title: King of Heaven / Creator of Heaven / God of Reincarnation / Supreme God / Outer God]
[Gender: Male (Androgynous appearance)]
[Race: Divinity / Multidimensional Being / Incarnation of the Law of Reincarnation (Incomplete)]
[Age: Uncountable]
[Skills: Divine Physical Power / Divine Wisdom / Divine Presence / Divine Face / Divine Voice / Law of Reincarnation / Divine Power / Portal Opening / Law Manifestation]
Samael clicked on the description for [Law Manifestation]:
[Law Manifestation: You can impose the Law of Reincarnation upon the world and create endless cycles of death and rebirth. Beings weaker than the user have no resistance to this manifestation. The range of effect depends on the user's power.]
A brutal and merciless ability—an eternal torture that could quickly make him stronger.
But Samael wasn't that cruel... unless no other path remained.
