Chapter 115: Looks Like You’re the First to Fail This Lesson

That trembling index finger finally touched Lucia’s warm skin.

Beneath her fingertip was a steady, powerful heartbeat.

Thump… thump… thump…

Every beat seemed to mock her overestimation of her own strength.

Fury, humiliation, and a newly born power clashed within her body, making her throw caution to the wind!

The Magic Power inside her moved according to her will, obeying her every thought.

This was Tier 4!

This was the power that could touch the Laws!

For the first time, Lilia felt it.

The world before her became something that could be twisted.

“SPACE, OBEY MY COMMAND.”

She whispered the incantation, her voice trembling with Magic and spreading under the entire starry sky.

Centering on Lucia, the surrounding space began to distort.

The air grew thick, and light was forcibly folded.

Even the distant flowing stars seemed to slow down for a fleeting moment.

Using her newly mastered power, she carved out a territory that belonged only to her within the Demon King’s Domain!

100 times!

Gravity parameters, 100 times!

She compressed all of this power onto Lucia alone! Lilia’s entire focus was on Lucia.

She wanted to see her bend her back, bow her knees, and fall to the ground in a pathetic kneel!

“Get… down! Meow!”

The last word jumped out uncontrollably — a soft, kittenish sound.

Lilia was so angry she almost bit her tongue, but she couldn’t care about that now!

“Haha! Can you feel it? Meow!”

Her face was flushed, and her body trembled with excitement.

“This is what it feels like to be oppressed! This is how I feel every single day! Meow!”

She shouted recklessly, venting all her accumulated resentment.

“Sister Lilith! Did you see that? Meow!”

She didn’t forget to look back and shout at the stiff Head Maid standing in the shadows far away.

She wanted everyone to see!

She wanted them to see how Lilia made this high-and-mighty Demon King taste the bitterness of defeat!

An invisible, heavy pressure descended.

A force capable of crushing a dragon into meat paste landed on Lucia.

Then, Lilia saw Lucia’s seated body sway slightly.

That was it!

Lilia’s heart pounded wildly, nearly leaping out of her throat! She had succeeded! She really succeeded! She had made this monster waver!

Triumph and excitement clouded her mind.

Was that a flash of surprise on Lucia’s face?

‘Yes! It must be surprise!’

‘This pervert definitely didn’t expect me to be able to do this!’

‘She must be terrified by my Talent and growth speed!’

Lilia’s confidence soared.

She could be even stronger!

200 times!

300 times!

As long as she wanted, she could completely control this space!

Just as Lilia was about to push her Magic Power output to the maximum, the look of surprise on Lucia’s face vanished.

She looked at Lilia’s smug face — the girl’s tail was practically sticking straight up to the sky — and suddenly smiled.

There was no joy in that smile, only a coldness that saw through everything.

She steadily raised her hand and stretched slowly, her joints letting out a series of soft pops.

The 100-fold gravity, enough to crush mountains, had zero effect on her.

“Yes, I feel it,” Lucia said lazily.

“Tier 4 Laws of Space… they do have a bit of weight.”

That light ‘praise’ made Lilia’s heart sink.

‘Something’s wrong. Something’s very wrong.’

Lucia stood up from the jade stone.

The 100-fold gravity didn’t hinder her movements in the slightest.

She walked toward Lilia step by step.

“But…”

Lucia leaned in close, her tall silhouette completely enveloping Lilia.

The cold body temperature and that sense of pressure instantly crushed Lilia’s newly inflated confidence.

“My little pet, did you forget?”

Her voice was very low, and her warm breath hit Lilia’s ear.

Every word dripped with danger.

“In this world, who controls gravity?”

That single sentence instantly cleared Lilia’s chaotic mind.

Who controls gravity?

In the Empire of Erya, every child who studied Magic knew a piece of common knowledge.

The fundamental Laws that constituted the world — Time, Space, Life, and Gravity — these were the supreme authorities from the birth of the world.

And the Demon King, Lucia, had defeated the God of Light in the Final War 300 years ago.

She hadn’t just killed a God.

She had usurped all the authorities of the old God and reshaped the Laws of the entire world into her own image.

In other words…

In this world, she was gravity.

She was the Law.

Lilia’s heart sank to the bottom.

Before she could react to this fear, Lucia snapped her fingers.

A crisp sound.

*Snap.*

The 100-fold gravity Lilia had applied vanished.

Immediately after, a terrifying pressure descended from the very source of the Laws!

It wasn’t 100 times.

It wasn’t 1,000 or 10,000 times either.

It was the weight of the entire world.

It was the land of the Empire of Erya, the sky, and the ocean.

It was the entire mass of the planet beneath their feet.

It condensed into a single point of irresistible force and slammed into Lilia!

“MEOW — !”

A shrill scream, distorted by agony.

Lilia couldn’t even hold out for a single second.

The bones in her body let out a groan of *crack, crack*.

She was slammed into the ground by this absolute power with a *splat*.

Face-down, limbs spread wide — in the most humiliating position of total prostration — she was pinned against the cold jade floor.

She couldn’t even move a finger.

Her consciousness blurred amid intense pain and suffocation.

The Magic Power in her body was completely suppressed; she couldn’t mobilize a single shred of it.

‘So this is… the weight of the world.’

‘This is… the power of the Demon King.’

A foot wearing a black nightgown stopped leisurely in front of her.

Then, the tip of that foot hooked under her chin, forcing her to lift her face — covered in sweat and tear stains — to look up at the person gazing down at her.

Lucia looked down at her with a malicious and self-evident expression.

“You wanted to teach me?”

Her voice was filled with unabashed mockery.

“For this lesson, it seems you’re the one who failed.”
