## Chapter 1212 – Power

—Fwoosh.

Hilde closed the gate to Pandemonium. The ring of flames, burning with mysterious colors, disappeared and scattered.

“It’s not good to keep it open for too long. Other demons might sense it. But, Mr. Katt? Do you really want to go inside?”

This urge…!

The intense urge to go through the hole! If I go inside, I can kill demons to my heart’s content! That’s the beautiful conquest of Hell!

—Brrrrr!

My whole body trembled, and my fists clenched.

Until now, those demon bastards have unilaterally invaded our land, wreaking havoc and creating tragedy. The weak inhabitants of this other world could only shed tears of blood at their overwhelming murderous rampage…! Because they didn’t have the power to stop the demons!

But if we have this!

If we have this gate!

If this gate, which can take us to Pandemonium, exists!

If this seeker of Fusion Confucianism, warrior of love! And the Heavenly Demon, Kim Katt, can go through it! We can reverse the situation! It means we can show those invaders who come in unilaterally what’s what!

“Dejaaaaaaaaat!!!”

A roar burst forth.

My physical senses are clearer than ever.

If I go over there?

I can test all my powers on those demons. I can kill as much as I want, destroy as much as I want, and confirm all my achievements!

How far will the beautiful and radiant power of love illuminate Hell!

Just as the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha illuminated Hell to save the wicked beings, now the new generation Bodhisattva, Katt Bodhisattva, will save the demons of Hell in the name of death!

I shall become the light of Hell!!!

“Yes! Hilde! I want to go inside! I want to go in and kill those demons!”

I declare it here and now!

I want to go to Pandemonium!

I want to go on a picnic with a basket full of sandwiches! What are those Archdemons! I’m the man who killed Adramalech! The drink is decided as picnic!

“Oh my…! Mr. Katt, you’re so cool right now!!!”

—Pounce!

Hilde, moved, jumped and hugged me. I naturally held Hilde in my arms in a princess carry and smiled.

“Hahahaha!!!”
“Hehehehe!”

This is a very good phenomenon!

To have such a good thing happen!

“Of course, Mr. Katt can go in too!”
“Great, Hilde! You’re saying I can go in!”
“Yes!”
“With you?”
“I just sensed it, but it seems like anyone can go in and out!”

Good.

Let’s get a detailed explanation and then make a plan. First, I know I can do it. But just because I know it doesn’t mean I’m reckless enough to blindly charge in.

Preparation is always important, and making a plan is important too. There’s no good in acting on a whim.

To kill more demons! I will establish a perfect plan!

I immediately demanded a detailed explanation from Hilde.

“Okay, then I’ll explain. It’s a bit embarrassing to say this myself, but I was quite a capable succubus. The succubus race is inherently like that, but anyway, I had the ability to create this direct gate that I and demons of lower rank than me could use.”

I’ve seen it before.

“That’s right. I remember when we first met.”
“Romantic memories…!”

Was it romantic?

Anyway, my first meeting with Hilde wasn’t very good.

“But this also had limitations, so instead of using it…”

—Fwoosh.

The moment Hilde snapped her fingers.

—Whoosh.

A different gate appeared from the one before.

A gate that looked like a hole had been punched in the air.

“Like this. I opened and used a gate to my own space more often.”
“I know this.”

It’s a space magic unique to succubi.

Hilde can create her own space like this. She hasn’t used it much until now, and the reason is that there was no need to use it.

“It’s kind of like the slightly outer part of Pandemonium? You could say I use that space, and simple movement is possible with this. Ah! But this seems to have gotten better too! I’ll test it and let you know!”
“Okay.”

Hilde’s abilities seem to have improved overall. Well, she just woke up, so she can’t test everything. Let’s listen to everything slowly.

“Then, back to the main point, this Pandemonium gate creation. First of all, it seems that I can use it without any difficulty according to my will. The specific number is… about four times a day? I think it’s possible.”

Four times a day.

If opening it is four times, then I can go back and forth twice.

“In other words, I can enter and exit without any problems about four times a day, Mr. Katt!!! This is such an amazing thing!!!”

Hilde shouted excitedly.

“Even Archdemons can’t do this!! And even the queen of the succubus race can’t do this! But I can do it!”
“I’m so proud!!!”

In many ways, she has grown greatly in this area. In reality, Hilde would lose if she fought an Archdemon head-on, but in the end, the important thing is that she can do something that an Archdemon can’t do.

“Ahem, anyway. With just this, anyone can easily go in and out of Pandemonium.”
“Hilde…! I’m so excited! I want to go inside and kill all those demons!”
“Me too! Me too, Mr. Katt! Fusion Confucianism, hooray!”
“Woooooo!!!”

Hilde, hooray!

“Haa… First of all, the demons in Pandemonium possess complete power, so they are quite strong, but it’s clear that they won’t be a match for Mr. Katt! Then there won’t be any problems!”
“That’s right!”

That’s right. Demons weaken as they cross over to this land. Therefore, they can exert their original power in Pandemonium, their home ground.

But what’s the problem with that?

Just because the demons got a little buff doesn’t mean they can beat me.

As I was thinking that, Hilde licked her lips and continued.

“Hmm… Still. Pandemonium is very vast. And it’s a world full of unknown beings. Even I, who was a resident there, don’t know everything… I don’t know what dangers there might be.”

I guess so.

“For example, would someone living in Isbanth know the situation in the capital? Or would they know about that distant foreign land? They wouldn’t. They don’t know how strong the beings are, and they don’t know what kind of beings live there. It’s similar to that.”

Even Hilde doesn’t know exactly what Pandemonium is like.

It’s similar to how an ordinary resident living in Isbanth doesn’t know how this human world works. Even humans who know about administration are like this, so it goes without saying for the low-intelligence demons living in that barren Pandemonium.

It’s vast, and there are many unknown areas.

That’s what Hilde was saying.

“All demons know that Archdemons are strong, but that doesn’t mean that Archdemons are an absolute symbol of strength… Above all, weak demons account for 80% of Pandemonium, so there may be risk factors.”

This was Hilde’s warning, but.

“Hilde. There’s no problem as long as I’m there.”
“Honestly, I think so too! Mr. Katt is greater than any being I’ve ever seen! If Mr. Katt goes to Pandemonium, he can turn it into Hell right away!”
“Hehehe, it’s already Hell.”
“Hell more than Hell!!!!”

Good.

“Hilde. Let’s seriously make a plan for this.”
“Yes! It’s literally the prelude to demon killing!”
“That’s right!”

Preparation is needed.

First, there’s something I need to do.

One is to cross over to the Shurdig Desert and find the fragments of God remaining on the ground. I’ve already killed Adramalech and taken his power. It’s sure to be easier than last time.

So this… will it take a long time?

No.

Claudia is a desert expert. There’s a local guide who has lived in the desert for a hundred years, so this can be solved quickly.

Should I solve this first and then go to Pandemonium?

I think that would be better. Going to Pandemonium for demon subjugation. It’s a very good thing, but there may be side effects. If the demons realize the invasion and come to this land on a large scale, there will be many victims.

Demon subjugation will take some time. In other words, I have to focus on this one thing… Hmm. I need to think about what to do first.

“Then, Mr. Katt! Let’s test other powers too!”
“Oh!”

So I watched Hilde test her powers.

* * *

—Whoosh!

Hilde’s Hellfire blazed.

I could feel that the output was stronger than before, but.

“As expected. It doesn’t work on Mr. Katt.”

It couldn’t do any damage to my body.

Hilde continued to fire Hellfire from her hands at me. I took it with my bare body and calculated the impact.

“It’s definitely stronger.”
“It can’t reach Mr. Katt.”

I can’t help it.

“Still, I feel that all my abilities have improved overall. My body has been strengthened, and my magic power and manipulation skills have also been strengthened.”

That’s right.

“What should I say, the power that had been stored to the limit while receiving Mr. Katt’s essence, has spread to my body and been activated by this jewel?”

Transcendence.

“And this.”

—Tzzzz.

Hilde created a hole in the air the size of a person. From now on, I’m going to check Hilde’s other dimensional space? I’m going to check that magic. I’m not going into Pandemonium. I’m going into Hilde’s personal space.

“Shall we go in together?”
“Is it possible?”
“Well, I don’t know. But looking at it now, I think it’s possible!”
“Great!”

When I answered, Hilde took my hand and walked into the hole.

—Swish.

Soon, her figure disappeared.

I walked forward too.

—Zzzzz.

I felt something strange.

The background changed.

“Here is.”
“Ah! It’s possible! Oh my god! It’s been strengthened this much!”

It’s a black space.

The floor was like a chessboard. Black and white tiles were arranged regularly, and that ground extended to the darkness.

And lanterns flying around emitted orange light.

“This is Hilde’s house.”

This is Hilde’s own space.

“Hehehe, it’s almost like that.”
“Is it kind of like a dream space?”
“No. It’s a little different from that. That’s like going into a slightly spiritual state.”

I turned my head and looked around.

There wasn’t anything in particular. The space seemed wide, but when you think about it, it wasn’t that wide. But well, this is enough.

“This place can be said to be a space where I have taken a part of the outer space that is slightly separated from the dimension called Pandemonium as my own. It’s a space with a slightly physical feel!”
“It’s so amazing.”
“I really didn’t think it would work… I always wanted to have this!”

Hilde looked very excited.

“First of all, as it is my space, I think I can manipulate it to some extent. Mr. Katt. I think I can open this freely a few times a day too.”
“Hmm.”
“Mobile warehouse! Mr. Katt! I think I can use it as a mobile warehouse!”
“Mobile warehouse!”

Can I put things from the outside in here and take them out whenever I want!

“Hilde, then! Can I put luggage in here and carry it around!”
“That’s right!”
“Oh!”

That was a very convenient function!

Because I don’t have to carry luggage around!

“I think it will be very useful!”
“It’s endless, this.”

Hilde’s growth was more useful than I imagined. Not only can I go to Pandemonium, but I also have such a convenient function.

“But can I open it anywhere I want?”
“Hmm… Well, almost?”
“Anyone can come in?”
“Ah, I have to test that. Simple things are fine, but if it’s a living creature like this… Hmm.”

Hilde is worried.

“I just thought about it, but maybe, in my opinion, only me and Mr. Katt can do it?”
