Chapter 441
The Insects Lords as well as Beelzebub froze in confusion, looking to each other with uncertainty, wondering if they had fallen under some sort of illusion. Even worse, Darius and co also froze, as if they had never expected someone to suddenly barge into their 'home'.
Darius Analyzed them all one by one for their stats and shared his findings with Xela and Gunner. Their faces stiffened, but relaxed when they realized that they could handle most of the Insects Lords without even having to go 100% all out.
However, their hearts felt stifled once they saw Beelzebub's stats.

Immediately, the group sucked in a deep breath. This was far direr than their time fighting Lord Darm. In fact, the gap was not even close to how it was back then. Even though Lord Darm had been quite powerful, it had still been within reason.
However, this being before them had stats that they suspected to be possible but subconsciously didn't want to believe. After all, even if Darius survived all his Quests and reached level 100, he still wouldn't have enough AP to reach those heights.
If it weren't for the Events, he wouldn't even have anything close to the level of power he had now. He sighed deeply and understood that Caesar was right, becoming a Supreme would indeed be an arduous task.
Luckily, this being seemed to have suffered intense injuries that had greatly lowered his battle stats. Now, he was barely above Gunner's power when the large lad used Earth's Guardian, which was likely why their Spiritual Sense had given them a 30% chance of survival.
After all, even if Gunner could match blows somewhat, the kind of skills and abilities a being at that stage would have was likely beyond their understanding.
Beelzebub paused and tilted his head. "Hm? What's this? What is this interference?"
He gazed at the trio and then his eyes landed on Darius, who he recognized as his target. However, his previous hunger was no longer there, his mind had sobered up as he gazed at the young man warily.
"Boy, what did you do? Where are the native laws of Faust? Why have they been suppressed and replaced by these… strange and confusing laws?" The Lord of the Flies questioned Darius with a dark tone.
Seeing a chance thanks to Beelzebub's reaction, Darius smiled. "It is exactly as you suspect, Lord Beel. The power of the Goddess is not something a mere side world she created as a playground can match."
Hearing Darius' words, Beelzebub reacted as if someone had lashed him with a whip. He didn't even care for the informal way Darius referred to him. In fact, that tone seemed to make him feel all the more panic-stricken.
"Y-You…!! You are an Agent of Vena!!"
Darius nodded, wiping his hands slowly after washing them. Xela rose from her seat with a smile and Gunner stood up from his mediation and folded his arms while gazing at the group of Insects imperiously.
"That's right, Lord Beel. My name is Darius Stone and I am her 10th agent in this world, and the most important. You see, those who came before me had all been tasked with simple missions, specifically to gather data and conduct some 'experiments' during their time on Faust."
"As someone of your standing you should be aware that this has created varying levels of chaos and turmoil in this world, all for her amusement... until the last one, Sino D'Mara." Darius elaborated slowly, his mind whirring at fast speeds as his tongue kept moving.
"Unlike the others, who had all had a chance to execute their missions, the Fake Lords had interfered with Sino's fate and were responsible for his early death. To the Gods, they simply made a mistake and would do better next time, not really suffering any punishment for their actions."
Darius's eyes narrowed and he smiled provocatively. "But you know the truth, don't you Beel? You, just like Thanatos who I met before, were extremely reluctant to harm me despite being able to deal with me easily."
"It's not strange though, after all, you are a True Lord of Faust. You know exactly how Faust came to be, its purpose and who the true owner of this world is. You also know that while those retarded Fake Lords have yet to receive their punishments that it would be impossible for Vena to just leave them be after daring to disrupt her plan!"
Darius rubbed his chin with a wide grin. "Thanatos is one of the remaining True Lords who has seen it all happen, so he had some guesses, but you probably know much more."
Darius folded his arms behind his back and gazed at the still shuddering Lord of the Flies with a predatory glance.
"Tell me Lord Beel, when was the death of Sino D'Mara? And when was the Insect Invasion of Faust?"
His words made Beelzebub tremble even harder, but he eventually stopped with a weak sigh. The other Insect Lords who had been immersed in the story gazed at each other with shock and confusion, wondering what was going on and being able to follow only a small part of the whole show.
Darius didn't spare a single gaze at them after the first, as they realistically posed no threat to him and his group.
With a feeble and dejected voice, the Lord of the Flies answered. "The death of Sino D'mara occurred 8,344 years ago. The beginning of our invasion of the world was 8,340 years ago."
There was a shocked silence as everyone aside from Darius and Beelzebub realized the implications of this. Even Xela and Gunner who wore pokerfaces, now displayed shock on their faces, as they had never expected this.
Darius's eyes suddenly narrowed into serpentine slits as he folded his arms behind his back and spoke in a high-pitched tone.
"Beel~ze~bubb~… You should understand what this means, no? Right after taking down her agent, the world was plunged into a sudden life or death crisis that was barely resolved only because the other True Lords had taken part."
