"You dare freeze time before me," Her lips moved and with as much grace as a swan, her hand broke through the grayscale filter. In an instant, her footsteps echoed throughout the dimension, and before Beezlebub could even react, her hand gripped his neck, forcing him to teleport away.
"Huff… huff… huff… you stupid bitch," He muttered, grabbing his neck had such a massive bruise that it was obvious the queen intended to go for the kill. "I'll fucking kill you when I get the chance… I swear to Hades I will murder you with every piece of strength I can muster-"
"Then I guess I should deal with you before any of that happens, right?" Her face contorted into that same creepy smile Noah had. And with just a flick of her wrist, Beezlebub was sucked into the palm of her hand like there was a black hole centered in between each finger of hers.
The sound of her fingers digging into his neck was almost nauseating and with each second that passed, the more bones began to snap. It wasn't just his neck or spine that was cracking but somehow the other bones fleshed amongst his toned muscles were snapping and breaking with just the sheer force of this woman.
While gripping onto my Master who I thought was completely unbeatable, her other hand waved across the sky, breaking the timeless dimension and freeing Noah from its chains. She was a bit confused as to what had happened, but upon seeing the queen's angered smile, she got back to work and ignored what was happening before her.
"I-It's a clone… s-so… ummmm… I wouldn't waste all of your energy on-" ????????????????????????????????.????????????
"Killing this flee isn't even worth my time. Don't flatter your Master… he's a weak bug that doesn't know his place," The woman's smile slowly faded, leaving a creepy dead expression that pressed up against the clone's face. "And you… I'm sure you're connected to the original, but I know what you want. I know who you want to kill. I know what you want from him. We all do, trust me."
Suddenly, Beelzebub's face switched from a pained and panicked expression to a calm one, as if he had inserted his own consciousness into this clone. It took him a few seconds to warm up his voice, but after a few coughs and clearing his throat quite a few times, he spoke up.
"You oldies sure are smart. Then, can I entrust him to you? I wasn't planning on having him learn the truth of reality yet… but if it's somebody like you, I'm sure you're a worthy teacher. Of course, if he dies I'll be coming to collect your soul."
"I'd like to see you try," The queen muttered before snapping the clone's neck, causing it to fall to the ground, as limp as can be. Its flesh began to melt into a black gooey substance, fusing and entering the water-caked dirt below us.
I thought it was over, but the woman quickly flicked her finger upwards, forcing all of the black liquid to fling from the soil and up into the air. It squirmed and wriggled, constantly changing shape as if it was searching for somewhere else to hide.
"Noah, deal with this pest for me."
"*sigh*... as you wish," She groaned, lifting up her right foot and slamming it down onto the dirt beneath us. This revitalized the soil that had been completely devoid of life due to my explosion of dark energy. And it didn't bring back the soil itself, but it did force lots of trees and grass to grow, with even a couple of rocks sprouting up.
The ground around us was definitely caved in, but all of the new lush greenery made it seem like it had always been a part of this mountaintop. And as I slowly stood up, finally getting a good look around this place ever since I climbed to the top, I noticed just how large it was with the help of [Eagle Eye].I think you should take a look at
Noah was completely right. I was definitely caught in an illusion as the island I circled was no bigger than the base of a skyscraper. In reality, it was as big as a large town, making my jaw drop from its sheer size.
"*sigh*... Now that all of that is done, how about we continued our conversation from later," The queen smiled, her height towering over me at what looked to be a clean eight feet tall. She was somehow even bigger than Orion post-evolution.
Ah, speaking of evolution, I need the materials don't I? Well, I guess I could always collect them later… I'm sure if I butter up this queen enough I can maybe access her royal vault or something.

"Actually… H-Hey, you don't happen to have a Dark Dragon's Reverse Scale, Essence of The Night Sky, or the Soul of A Branded King… do you?" I nervously chuckled since I felt this was the proper direction to take.
"What? Do you need them to evolve or something? Those are quite the specific items…" She smirked, wrapping her arm around my shoulders, causing me to receive the hateful glare of Noah once again. But after she finished polishing the crater I had created and detaining the mass of black liquid, she stormed over to me and pushed me out of the way.
"Y-Your Highness, I did everything you asked me to," She stood patiently before the queen who looked ticked off at the woman's rash actions. "S-So… Do you think I can get a… umm… a reward? Maybe… hehehe… just maybe?"
I nearly died of cringe as the girl twirled her hair and twisted her foot left and right. She attempted to act bashful and draw the queen in with her innocent look, but as she continued to embarrass herself, the queen let out a long sigh of exhaustion.
"I'm sure I sent you on a mission before. How brash of you to be lazing around here, drawing in prey while that man is currently escaping with our best soul nourishment… or are you telling me that you're not as capable as I thought you were."
