Man, this sucks.
I couldn't say anything, so you turned me into a fallen angel?
You're supposed to be God. So much for being omnipotent.
You must be getting old, not listening to what people have to say.
Being on the throne tens of hundreds of millions of years must have made you senile.
And you, Michael...
I helped you out so much, and you turned on me in an instant.
That's why you'll never rise above number two.
Well, I don't give a damn anymore.
I'm choosing to leave you.
I'll fall to Earth or Hell as I please!
Hey there!
Hey!
You can see me?
Huh? Of course I can.
The blood...
What are you?
A normal human?
I am...
Thank goodness.
You're not bleeding anymore.
Well, of course I'm not.
Who do you think I am?
I can't just leave you like this.
I'm going to get help.
Hold on a second.
I'm an angel, you know?
Humans can't see me.
Uh, but...
You can see me, can't you?
Come here.
What's your name?
Maria.
Totsuka Maria.
Maria, you're quite lucky.
Huh?
What's going on?
I shall give you an angel's life.
Don't forget.
Angel...
Maria, are you there?
Maria!
I wanna be a Mortal Sin already.
I'm one of the Seven Mortal Sins, the Demon Lord of Envy, Leviathan!
Just kidding.
What do you think?
Behemoth, was that cool?
Thank you.
I'll do my best!
What's wrong, everyone?
Come on! What was that?
That cross...
An angel has fallen!
You're an angel, right?
Wait, could you be Lucifer-sama?
I knew it!
Ranked number one among angels.
She's the first choice when it comes to angels you'd want to see fall.
And number one among angels you want to tease.
The triple crown angel, Lucifer-sama!
You've heard of me?
Of course I have.
I've longed for you.
Everyone hates me up in Heaven...
I never thought I'd be so popular down in Hell.
You know, it's pretty cold down here.
This is the lowest level of Hell, Cocytus, where anything and everything freezes.
Everything freezes up real nice and stiff.
There's nothing that won't freeze down here.
Nice and stiff, huh?
Guess I've fallen far.
I'll save you right now.
Whale!
That's hot.
Way too hot...
Whale's boiling liquid is melting away the angel's clothes.
This is Hell.
Everything's going to be painful.
Don't tell me the Archangel Lucifer can't handle it.
Shit.
Yeah, this is what it's about.
Skin as smooth as silk...
I'm so jealous.
So envious.
Ouch!
Sorry.
Your skin's all red.
That's too bad.
That's your fault—
I'll just have to fix that for you.
Stop it, you perv!
You know you want it.
Let me into your heart.
So you're going to let me in?
I'm so happy.
Stop it.
Levi has always looked up to you, the Archangel Lucifer.
Oh, I know.
How about we take over Hell?
I might get to be a Mortal Sin that way, too.
I'm not interested.
I'm not just going to listen to what you say.
And I don't care about Heaven or Hell anymore.
I'm going to do what I want.
You can't do that!
You're annoying!
Ow...
The Lucifer-sama that Levi knows is cool and kind.
She'd do whatever I said.
She'd get a little mad at times,
but then she'd give me tons of affection afterward.
It has to be that way!
A weak attack like that isn't going to do anything.
Everyone, attack!
This is the level of your power.
You can't even scratch me.
Just who do you think I am?
Conceited Archangel Lucifer...
Our Lord has instructed the following.
To erase you, Lucifer.
God said to...
Yes.
And as karma for your actions,
you shall continue to atone for your pride.
For eternity.
This is goodbye.
You're going to laugh at me, Michael?
Answer me, Michael!
I did it!
S-So cool!
Beautiful and strong...
I'm so jealous.
I'm gonna get all wet! I'm all tingly!
Onee-sama, I love you.
Hey, you know...
My name's Levi.
I'm the demon lord that controls water, Leviathan.
I'm going to follow you from now on, Onee-sama.
Onee-sama, you're going to stand on top of the Mortal Sins.
Make me and the rest of Hell all yours!
You're about to really piss me off.
Ow...
You're getting carried away.
It's important to get close!
It's important to get close...
Why did you say that twice?
We're going to be together from now on, so I need to make that clear.
So that's why—
I've had enough already.
The Ninth Circle Cocytus Pandemonium
This is Pandemonium.
The place where the Seven Mortal Sins that rule Hell gather.
That's far enough, angel.
That's the Demon Lord of Wrath, Satan.
This isn't a place for angels and their ilk.
I'll have to beat that into you.
And who was sneaking around checking up on a mere angel like me just a moment ago?
A-Are you trying to mock me?!
Oh? You've done well to dodge my axe.
You're quite good for an angel.
However...
You're quite good, too.
But...
You need to hit hard at the end!
What?
Ow...
Everyone's here.
Right.
G R E E D
Angels are rare here.
Have you come to buy some wondrous elixirs?
L U S T
You're cute.
I wonder what cries you'd make as I pleasured you.
G L U T T O N Y
Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom...
S L O T H
I don't care about angels.
W R A T H
Ow...
These are the Seven Mortal Sins?
Yes, the seven demon lords that preside over the demons of Hell.
Huh? There's one missing, it seems.
Leviathan-san...
It's fine you showed her the way here,
but only the Mortal Sins are allowed to enter here. Did you forget?
Th-That ends today!
Levi has Onee-sama with her!
Damn you...
I'll rip you to shreds!
Stop it, Wrath.
Don't get in my way.
Remember your place.
Did you forget just who stands on top of the Mortal Sins?
Who are you?
Isn't it common courtesy to state your own name before asking another's?
And yet I'm still asking.
It's annoying that I have to introduce myself to an angel,
but listen carefully.
The daughter of the Byrnedale family, one of the most famous,
if not the most famous family here in Hell—everyone knows the name.
The most elegant, the most beautiful...
Get on with it!
You're wasting my time!
What pride!
That's the Demon Lord of Vanity, Belial.
Such insolence!
Nyah.
I stand atop of the Seven Mortal Sins.
V A N I T Y
I am the Demon Lord of Vanity, Belial-sama!
It's sad that you call yourself "sama."
There was someone up there like you.
They arrogantly called themselves "God."
And what business does an angel have here?
She's Lucifer-oneesama!
Lucifer...
The head of the Seven Lively Virtues in Heaven...
What type of blunder did you make to fall to Hell, Lucifer?
Angels are sly.
You're pretending to have fallen when you're really here to invade, right?
I've seen through your plan.
Seven Mortal Sins, take care of her!
V-Very well...
I'll take you out myself.
Lucifer, or whatever, I alone am enough to deal with you.
Now you've said it.
I guess Leviathan talked me into it.
I'm going to defeat you, and from now on,
Lucifer will stand atop... the Seven Mortal Sins!
Maria, you sure like angel accessories.
Yes, I have since I was young.
Yeah, not the same story again...
Mina, do you think there really are angels?
I mean, sure, we're taught that in school,
but I don't know for sure.
Yeah.
But if there were, I'd like to see one.
Hey, how do you do?
Are you an angel?
That's what'd I'd ask.
She wouldn't believe me, huh?
But if there are angels, would that mean there are demons, too?
Wasn't there something about a terrifying great king a long time ago?
You're so silly, Mina.
Are you okay?
You've been acting weird since that thing at the church.
Yeah, I've been feeling weird.
I'm weird, too, so I'll listen to whatever you have to say!
Ask and it will be given to you!
Thank you, Mina.
I'm sure that angel was just a dream.
Mina!
Don't feel me up!
Sorry! You've got those wide hips, you know?
Maria, bear my children!
Just kidding.
Mina, you jerk...
You fool!
You think you could sit at the head of the Seven Mortal Sins?
That's enough talk.
Let's get down to business.
The demonic sword passed down in the Byrnedale family, Dáinsleif.
It won't return to its scabbard until its enemy stops breathing.
Thousand Apocalypse!
What?
M-My sword, passed down in the Byrnedale Family, Dáinsleif!
Must have been pretty cheap.
You rotten angel...
I guess bad people are bad at remembering things.
I told you, I'm not an angel anymore!
These were supposed to be my spoils of war, but they're just cheap rags.
I won't forgive you.
You're insulting the Byrnedale family.
That angel is strong.
She took out Belial-san easily, when she's only second to Satan-san in terms of strength.
Belial is always second.
Jack of all trades...
Guess I'll have to take her on.
You got your butt beat a second ago.
Ojousama...
Belial-ojousama.
Who are you?
Gnosis.
It is pitiful to see you like that. Please use my body.
I will protect you with all I am.
Very well.
Oh?
Fallen angel, take my special attack!
She ran away.
In the name of Belial, the leader, I command all Seven Mortal Sins.
Capture the fallen angel, Lucifer!
I don't care how much you hurt her.
I'm first.
I'm not letting you get away!
Satan!
Prepare yourself!
There we go!
Give me a turn, too.
Sorry.
Hey, Asmo, that's dirty.
I'm am Asmodeus of Lust.
I wanted to try an angel once.
I can't wait to see how you act.
Asmodeus, don't do anything unnecessary!
Onee-sama is always doing pervy stuff with Levi!
What are you going on about?!
You dummies!
Now it's time to give that rotten angel that doesn't know
her place the full course of the true pains of Hell.
I have so many regrets.
I have to get tortured by trash like you just because I have the wings of an angel.
Very well.
This is going to hurt, so prepare yourself.
You guys give it a try.
It's quite fun.
I don't know if I feel very motivated anymore.
This is scary.
That's quite the twisted personality you have there.
I'm fine with fighting,
but I don't like just tormenting someone.
Now there's only one left.
You can cry if you want.
You've got to be kidding...
Don't think things are going to get easier on you.
You will suffer and writhe in pain.
Let's get going.
Sure.
Yeah.
It looks like things are about to get interesting.
Wait, Mortal Sins!
I thank you for cutting my restraints to God, Belial.
My name is Lucifer,
the one who goes against God, the demon lord burdened with the sin of pride!
The lid to the underworld has opened.
Onee-sama!
She's being cast out.
She's probably heading to Earth.
How foolish.
I'm sure that angel has learned her place.
I'm not so sure about that.
The symbol of a demon lord, the horns, grew on her head.
Also...
Damn you, Lucifer!
I won't forgive you for this!
Maria, I'm going to head out.
Sure.
See you again next semester.
Yeah.
Onee-sama!
The angel...
You're...
Huh? Who are you?
Totsuka Maria...
I'm not an angel.
Huh?
I am a demon lord.
Demon Lord Lucifer!
