Original subtitles

The Lord of the Flies, Beelzebub, has been hit for the first time!

How the hell is he going that fast?

That human has sped up like crazy!

No, the speed hasn't changed that much.

What? Don't lie. He's so fast!

Normally, whether human or god,

running involves kicking the ground continuously to propel oneself forward.

It takes a certain amount of time to reach top speed.

In other words, acceleration is required.

But Tesla, floating with antigravity, seems to reach top speed

with just the very first push-off.

An approach with no preliminary movements. It's truly lightning fast.

Right! I don't quite get it, but I got it. Thanks!

The attack landed!

But what the heck was that movement?

Tesla calls reaching top speed from the very first step

Zero Max!

Incredible reaction speed.

Well, how about

this?

What's this? An impossibly sharp turn!

Beelzebub has been hit again!

Even with his shield up!

The defensive vibration wasn't fully deployed.

That human might be rather troublesome.

You

are so annoying.

A CURSE AND A PRAYER

Just break, already.

Here it comes!

Sorath Vav!

He dodged it in the same position!

Plasma Pulse Punch Surprise!

What's that bizarre move?

That was quite a surprise.

The path I walk

cannot be predicted by anyone, not even gods!

I call it

the Tesla Step.

Everything about it is so uncool.

This is too much! It's so embarrassing!

Truly a troublesome technique.

I've never seen someone move like that before.

True.

However, that guy looks as though

he can see through it.

Tesla Step Wonderful!

It may be incredibly uncool, but it's an incredible move!

Tesla is toying with Beelzebub!

This is the finisher!

Beelzebub aimed for his back,

but Tesla's counter back-knuckle explodes back at him!

Yes!

What's this?

Beelzebub blocks! He blocks Tesla!

He's completely blocked the ever-changing Tesla Step!

I don't like that gloomy jerk,

but Beelzebub's sense of combat is top-tier, even in Helheim.

That human got too cocky showing off his skills.

The fight should be over now. Right, Zeus?

Right.

But something feels off.

I'm tired of seeing it.

That trick.

Your fist

won't reach me.

No, non, nein!

Yesterday's challenges are merely today's normal.

There is no end.

Science will always keep advancing.

QED. The solution is clear.

Gods!

Behold!

This is the wisdom…

of humanity!

On January 7th, 1943,

Nikola Tesla passed away.

Nine months later, on October 28th,

Tesla's final research was used to conduct a top-secret experiment.

Off the coast of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA,

the destroyer Eldridge was equipped with a powerful Tesla coil.

Officially, it was said to be an experiment.

By running high voltage through the hull,

they hoped to make the ship invisible to radar.

However, the moment the switch was flipped,

a terrifying incident occurred.

A highly powerful magnetic field beyond all expectations was generated.

The massive destroyer vanished from the radar

and even from the naked eye.

Then, in the very next moment…

Approximately 363 kilometers away,

it appeared off the coast of Norfolk, Virginia.

"Radar stealth experiment"?

SECOND LIEUTENANT T

That was just a cover story.

The real experiment was something entirely different.

I couldn't believe it.

But I saw it with my own eyes.

It was

teleportation!

The Philadelphia Experiment.

It seemed to have succeeded,

but the interior of the teleported Eldridge

had turned into hell itself.

Among the crew, soldiers, and scientists,

13 were dead or missing.

Six others suffered severe mental breakdowns.

Because it caused such extremely serious harm,

the Navy's high command decided to bury the research.

So was Nikola Tesla's final research a failure?

No. Tesla had achieved what he planned.

He had achieved teleportation.

Unbelievable!

Is this science too?

The moment Tesla seemed to vanish,

he landed a Plasma Pulse Punch

from Beelzebub's blind spot!

That speed is insane.

I didn't see Master Tesla move at all.

No, it's not speed.

Right. He didn't move at all.

Yeah. He disappeared for sure.

Disappeared!

What do you mean?

Hermes!

I don't understand it either.

But it seems he's already figured it out.

I see.

Teleportation, huh?

That's right.

I call it the Tesla Warp!

Well? Pretty cool, huh?

Your technique.

It has three limitations, doesn't it?

First, it needs time to charge before it can be activated.

Right after you attacked,

if you had activated it again to move into my blind spot,

you could have delivered a final blow to defeat me.

But instead, you maintained your position.

Hence, my deduction.

Second, your teleportation destinations are limited.

Before you activated the teleportation,

I noticed something odd about that attack, the Tesla Step, that you were performing.

Those flashy, seemingly wasteful movements

seemed like over-the-top intimidation at first glance.

But they likely had another purpose.

That's right.

It was to lure me to a place where you could warp.

That exchange was to lure him out?

Could a human really pull off such a feat?

What a cunning dude.

And the third…

There's a limit to how many times you can activate it.

Bravo!

What brilliant insight.

Allow me to explain in a bit more detail.

First, as a fundamental premise,

the Tesla Warp is only possible within this Gematria Zone.

It's not possible to teleport outside the zone.

Or rather, it would be very dangerous.

And at the destination point,

you have to increase the concentration of Super Tesla Particles.

That's the reason I was desperately throwing punches into the air.

Can you guess how it works?

The places where you throw electrically charged punches

attract and gather the particles.

Exactly! I love it when I get the answer I was after.

While attacking,

I scattered high-density particle points here and there.

Invisible to the eye, of course.

Then, once I choose a destination,

I synchronize the Tesla Particles with this Super Tesla Coil and teleport.

The only weakness is that synchronization takes about 63 seconds.

Why would you reveal its weakness?

Furthermore, each warp consumes one Super Tesla Coil.

As you deduced, there's a limit to how often I can use it.

In other words, I can only use it two more times.

Two more times?

What happens if he uses it more than that?

Most likely, Göndul, from whom the armored suit is made, would break,

and Tesla, whose soul is bound to it, would also vanish.

Sister Göndul!

Oh? Feeling confident?

Revealing all your cards like that…

No, non, nein!

For science, withholding information is nothing but harmful!

By freely sharing newly gained wisdom, science…

Wait!

Humanity has progressed!

Dear me.

Humans truly are talkative creatures.

Beelzebub's injuries…

They seem to be a lot worse than they look.

This kind of pain…

HELHEIM HADES' CASTLE

…I haven't felt it since then.

I don't suppose you've wandered into the king's chamber by mistake.

What business do you have with me,

Beelzebub, Lord of the Flies?

So you're Hades.

I have a request.

Fight with me.

I've heard the rumors.

A reckless fool who fell from Valhalla.

A mad demon who endlessly challenges the monsters of Helheim.

If you know me, then this makes things quick.

How many monsters did you slay to reach this place?

You would challenge me in a state like this?

Do you wish to die?

Yes, kill me.

What a troublesome guest.

Very well.

My name is Hades, King of Helheim.

I accept your challenge, Lord of the Flies.

As expected of the King of the Helheim.

You're strong.

I can't win.

But, at least now…

at least now, I can finally die.

Why are you so desperate to die?

Did you really come to me just to be killed?

Even though

I want to die,

I can't die.

Even if I try to let someone kill me,

it won't let me die.

It's all to make me suffer.

That's why this thing won't let me die.

Lilith.

The Lilith I killed,

she said she'd never let me die.

That I should live on, suffering more and more.

That's why I want you to end it.

End this curse she left me.

So that's why you asked me to kill you?

Utterly foolish.

I don't know what happened between you and this Lilith,

but even to me, who knows nothing, her feelings are clear.

It's not a curse.

It's a prayer.

A prayer from Lilith?

This Lilith must have wished for you to go on living.

Shouldn't you have thought about how to live

before seeking out death?

Think again about what was left to you.

I love you.

For all of us, live.

And if, once you've thought it over, you still wish for me to kill you,

then return, but in prime condition.

I'll be waiting anytime.

A prayer?

Could that really be true?

If so, what should I do?

Tell me, Lilith.

Azazel, Samael, Lucifer…

Please tell me.

It's been a while, Beelzebub.

Have you returned to be killed by me?

No.

So you've given up on dying?

No, I still think I should die.

But a death granted by someone like you won't do.

What?

I've been thinking about it for a long time,

and I understand.

I need to keep on living longer and longer

in pain, misery, cruelty, and depravity,

and meet the most wretched, ugly death possible.

That will be my atonement to them.

That's what I've decided.

You're an endlessly troublesome guy.

But that's exactly what I like about you.

Take this.

I kept it with me, to give to you if you ever showed up again.

Considering your abilities, that Divine Treasure,

the Staff of Apomyius, will surely be useful.

With this, you won't die so easily.

Don't worry. I will bear witness

to your continued suffering and that wretched death you speak of.

Why?

Why do you bother with someone like me?

I have some terribly troublesome brothers, you see.

Just when I was starting to miss that trouble, a troublesome…

No, an interesting guy showed up.

That's probably it.

I see.

But you're quite a troublesome god yourself,

Hades.

Me?

How so?

Hades,

it's your fault.

Because of your troublesome personality,

I've turned into

an even more troublesome guy!

I always wanted to be killed.

But now…

I want

to slaughter all of humanity!
