Chapter 56: He Can See

Belial had to admit that he had underestimated this "Ultraman."

It wasn't surprising. In his eyes, the demon minions who worshipped him were all weaklings. When a group of weaklings described an enemy as invincible, he would be on guard, but not overly concerned.

But after taking this punch directly, he realized that they might actually have been telling the truth.

It hurt like hell.

The demon was sent flying by the punch, crashing into the ground several times before his body plastered itself onto the wall of the grand hall like a piece of cloth.

Struggling to peel himself off the wall, Belial shakily got up, and looked at the red and silver giant who had appeared as if out of nowhere.

Then, he grinned fiercely.

"Ah, I see. That's indeed a very powerful force. I didn't expect that even without the wizard Shazam, this dimension still has such a strong protector. In that case…"

His voice trailed off, and a glint flashed in his eyes.

The temperature in the hall seemed to drop several degrees, and the air grew heavy. Invisible magical energy accumulated like dark clouds, causing the surrounding demon minions to feel the growing tension. They quickly distanced themselves from their boss, fearing they might get caught in whatever was coming next.

Belial roared, and black energy surged from his body.

It was coming!

The demonic energy exploded at his feet, and his dark wings spread out like a fallen angel. The overwhelming power lifted him into the air—

And then he turned around at full speed and dove into the mirror from which he had emerged.

Shen You: "?"

The demon minions: "?"

The entire hall fell into stunned silence. The demonic energy that had just been gathering disappeared as quickly as it had come. When everyone looked again, Belial had already zipped back to his own dimension, laughing wildly from behind the mirror.

"How about that? Didn't expect it, did you?" Belial laughed from behind the mirror. "Can you keep up with my speed?"

The demon minions were speechless.

What could they say?

Should they praise him for being their great leader? Even his escape had such grandeur.

But... was this really okay?

The demon minions were left bewildered.

After days of living frugally, keeping low profiles, and sacrificing many comrades, what was it all for?

Belial didn't even seem to realize he had sold out his team. He was still gloating from the other dimension, taunting, "Aren't you strong? Why don't you come through the door and fight me here?"

Shen You pondered for a moment.

His bracelet's energy level had increased, and its functions had unlocked much more compared to when he first arrived in this world.

If that's the case, maybe…

His thoughts moved, and he raised his wrist.

The bracelet glowed brightly, and a beam of energy shot out, striking the black fog-covered mirror, causing ripples to spread.

The next moment, Shen You's entire body began to glow brightly. He transformed into a ball of light.

And charged directly into the rippling mirror.

On the other side, Belial was still shouting, "Come fight me!" But halfway through, his voice froze.

Slowly turning his head, he saw golden light emerging from the space behind him, and the red and silver giant stepped out from the radiant glow, looking down at him.

Belial: "..."

Boom.

A punch struck down, slamming Belial into the black ground beneath him. The impact sent stones flying and cracks forming in the ground.

Shen You withdrew his fist, only to see that the giant crater left in the ground was empty.

The next second, Belial's laughter echoed from all directions, as if coming from every part of the space.

"Hahaha! Honestly, I didn't expect you would dare enter my dimension, my domain!"

Belial's voice seemed to come from every angle, surrounding them in an eerie echo.

"Now that you're here, you won't leave. This will be your grave!"

And he had a point.

No matter their rank, demons always gained additional power within their domains. Some demons were strong enough to destroy entire worlds, but they still needed to manipulate followers to do their bidding when invading other dimensions. That was the reason.

Only in their own dimensions could demons wield their full power. The more powerful the demon, the stronger the amplification in their domain.

Shen You stood in the dark world, surveying his surroundings.

The world was enveloped in darkness, like an endless, still sea of chaos. Jagged black rocks stood around, surrounded by strange stones, while a hazy mist drifted about. Shadows seemed to move within the darkness.

A world without light or hope.

Belial's figure was hidden somewhere in the darkness.

This was his domain. He had merged with the world itself, moving silently like a patient predator. He was waiting for fear to take root in his prey, for that moment when terror would cause them to make a mistake.

At that moment, the giant seemed to have completely lost track of him, his vision lost in the boundless darkness, unaware of the lurking threat nearby.

Belial grinned in satisfaction.

Now was the time!

His eyes gleamed with malice as he prepared to make a killing strike.

But just as he was about to lunge—

He noticed that the giant seemed to have turned his head.

And glanced in his direction!

Belial: "!"

In a panic, he instantly created a decoy illusion and used two teleportation spells to reposition himself.

After relocating, he crouched down cautiously, watching to see if Shen You would look his way again. When the giant didn't, Belial finally exhaled in relief.

A troubling thought flashed through his mind.

Did he… see me?

No, that couldn't be right.

This was his domain, where he could blend in with every part of the dimension. His camouflage was flawless.

It must have been a coincidence!

Belial quickly reasoned that he had seen some warriors with extraordinary instincts before. It wasn't due to any special power, just a combat intuition honed through countless battles—like a sixth sense.

Yes, that must be it. There was no way the giant could actually see him.

Belial relaxed, then silently mocked himself for overreacting.

The guy had just glanced in his direction, and he had panicked, using up a decoy and two teleportation spells. That did seem a little exaggerated.

Slowly, Belial inched closer.

Five hundred meters, four hundred meters, three hundred meters…

He stopped around three hundred meters from his target's front, still a bit cautious.

He struck a pose as if he was about to attack.

No reaction.

Belial edged closer, then pretended to charge up an attack.

Still no reaction.

He really can't see me!

Belial burst into a gleeful laugh internally.

He had decided—he would rip out this alien's glowing eyes and use them as lamps.

Boldly stepping forward, Belial arrogantly stretched out his neck, shoving his face closer as if taunting—

—What are you gonna do, hit me?

Boom.

With a supersonic crack, a punch landed squarely on Belial, swatting him like a fly.

The terrifying force shook his organs violently as he spat blood and was sent flying backward, all the while howling internally.

This bastard was faking it!

He really *can* see me!
