Chapter 345: Heroic Ending
Reign swooped down with a twisted grin, catching Red's broken body. He couldn't let such a powerful person meet his end like this.
"What, you think you're having some epic final moment?" he mocked, his voice filled sarcasm.
Red, barely clinging to life, had hoped the fall would be the end, a quick escape from the agony. But his psychopathic opponent had no intention of letting him off that easily.
Reign's grip tightened, holding the meta-human in place.
His eyes gleamed with a disturbing hunger as he leaned in close.
The meta-human could only watch in horror as Reign's mouth opened wide.
CRUNCH!
With a brutal bite, he sank his teeth into Red's hand, tearing through skin and bone.
The poor meta-human wanted to scream and curse his opponent for his cruelty, but only a weak, broken gasp came out.
CRUNCH!
CRUNCH!
CRUNCH!
Blood smeared Reign's face as he chewed, savoring every bite.
"Delicious! What the hell is this flavor!" Reign exclaimed, his voice filled with genuine surprise and delight.
He wasn't just saying the words—they came from the very depths of his being.
Each bite had been divine, the taste of the flesh unlike anything he had ever experienced.
If vitality could be compared to a food, it would be a seasoning—and Red's body was like the finest umami, rich and full of flavor, while ordinary humans were nothing more than bland, low-grade MSG by comparison.
Red's vision blurred, his thoughts scattered by the overwhelming humiliation of being eaten alive.
But in those final moments, a more terrifying realization hit him.
The demon lord in front of him wasn't just an enemy—he was pure evil, a psycho who found joy in this twisted brutality.
There was no mercy, no hint of humanity in his actions—just a cold, heartless desire to destroy and kill.
Down below, the BioGen team and Juggernaut watched in disbelief.
They had seen their share of violence, but nothing like this. Their faces went pale as they watched the gruesome scene, showing clear signs of disgust and fear.
This wasn't a fight; it was a nightmare come to life. Red was never an opponent; he was a livestock, cooked to perfection by the very embodiment of evil.
One of the BioGen scientists turned away, his face ashen.
"What the hell is he…?" he muttered, unable to look anymore.
Another scientist, her hand trembling, covered her mouth to keep from throwing up. "That's not… that's too much," she whispered, her voice shaking with fear.
Juggernaut, usually calm and unbothered by violence, felt his stomach twist at the sight.
Reign paid no attention to their reactions. He tore off another chunk of flesh, blood dripping from his mouth like sauce.
Red's body hung limp, the last bits of life fading away. But Reign wasn't done.
He bit down again, this time on Red's leg, tearing off more flesh. Red didn't even move—his mind and body were too far gone.
The remains of Red's body were barely recognizable now, a broken shell of what had once been a person.
His final thoughts were filled with fear, a desperate hope that someone would stop this monster before it consumed them all.
But for Reign, there was no such thing as mercy. He was a creature of pure destruction, driven by an endless need to feed.
Holding the severed head in his hands, he gazed at it for a moment, as if savoring the last act of this gruesome ritual.
Then, without hesitation, he bit into it. He chewed it like usual, working through the skull and brain as if it were just another part of the meal.
[LEVEL UP+ 1]
[LEVEL UP+ 1]
[LEVEL UP+ 1]
[LEVEL UP+ 1]
[LEVEL UP+ 1]
[LEVEL UP….]
The sound of the notification echoed in his ears, a reminder of what he had just accomplished. Red's vitality was incredibly powerful, more concentrated than that of millions of humans combined.
He began to wonder what the humans had done and sacrificed to create a being like this. They were flawed in many ways, but their power was terrifying.
If it had been any other demon, they would have been defeated for sure.
The only reason Reign won was because his opponent wasn't used to his power yet. If Red had more time to learn, the outcome today would have been different.
This showed how knowledge could be the difference between winning and losing.
After he was done, he licked his fingers clean, savoring the last traces of his meal. The taste stayed with him, a reminder of the twisted delicacy he had just enjoyed.
His eyes narrowed as he turned his attention toward the BioGen group below, who stood frozen in shock.
Reign floated down, his grin growing wider as he took in their fear.
They had seen what he could do and were now completely helpless.
They knew they were no match for him, and the terror in their eyes only made Reign's grin grow larger.
Juggernaut stepped forward, raising his fists in preparation for a fight. He was confident of his ability to reflect any damage that came his way.
In his mind, no matter how powerful his opponent was, it would be useless against him.
"Wait, let's talk," a female voice called out.
It was Evelyn, who was quick to recognize that her creation didn't stand a chance.
Red had briefly surpassed the Peak Demon Level. Although he hadn't reached Demon King status, he should have been able to crush anything at the Lord Rank. But, despite this, he was still defeated one-sidedly.
It didn't take a genius to see that Juggernaut had no chance.
Reign looked at Evelyn with a cold, amused smile.
"Talk?" he said, his voice dripping with disdain. "What's there to talk about? I'm planning to kill everyone. Talking won't change a thing."
He glanced back at Juggernaut, still grinning. "Beside I'm in the mood for more than just talk."
"Please, just listen," Evelyn said urgently, her voice filled with desperation. She couldn't let things get worse and risk dying here.
As one of the lead scientists in creating meta-humans, Evelyn had sky-high ambitions.
She wanted to be remembered in the annals of history as one of the people who saved the human race, and she was so close to achieving that goal.
'Ambition... Yes, that's it,' Evelyn thought. 'Most Demon Lords are driven by greed. Maybe if I offer him something valuable, he might spare me.'
She took a deep breath and began to think carefully. She knew she needed just the right words to convince her way out of this.
"BioGen is working with Demon King Agusto, a high-ranking member of Abyssal. Even though we're a human corporation, we're open to collaborating with demons, especially powerful ones like you."
She hoped that he would be swayed by this information.
"So what?" Reign replied, his tone flat and uninterested.
"I don't care who you're working with. I'd kill him too if he was here." He shrugged casually, his eyes cold.
"And also....I can't stand the Abyssal Alliance either. I'll take care of that useless group soon."
'No way… How can he be this confident? Is he really a Demon King?'
