Chapter 1 – The Most Powerful Demon King in History vs. the Demon God
Strength is absolute justice.
In the vast world, demons with such values have battled each other for a mind boggling period of time, washing blood with blood.
And then, 520 years ago. There came a Demon King who overpowered the demon tribes with overwhelming power and unified the world for the first time in history.
The name of the most powerful Demon King in history is Hyrum.
Twenty years after the world was pacified.
Hyrum, the ruler of the demon tribes, confronted the Demon God who reigned over all demons.
The Demon God manifested in the world with a spiritual body, but it radiated overwhelming majesty and shone divinely.
『Demon King Hyrum. Why do you disobey my divine decree?』
The decree of the Demon God given to Hyrum was to offer the lives of his subjects, one hundred each day.
Hyrum is the Demon King.
In other words, he is the ruler, owner and protector of all the people of the demon tribes and all the things that live on the demon continent.
Even if it is a divine decree from the Demon God, to Hyrum it is unacceptable.
“This realm is the world of those of us with bodies of flesh. Also, it is my property. The Gods should withdraw to the Divine Realm.”
Even to the words of the Demon God, who speaks directly to his heart, Demon King Hyrum responds in a dignified manner without shrinking back.
『That response, arrogance! Such insolence! Such profanity! Death to the foolish king who defies a God!』
The overwhelming divine authority of the Demon God erupted.
At the same time, the Demon God’s divine body changes from a spiritual body to a physical body.
In order to bring the Demon King Hyrum to his knees, he incarnated into flesh.
『For a mere flesh and blood demon to oppose the Demon God, know your place!』
“As a God, seeking to interfere with the world, you should be aware of your standing!”
A battle broke out between the most powerful Demon King in history and the Demon God.
The mighty magic of the Demon King clashed with the divine authority and miracles of the Demon God.
The miracle and authority of the Demon God turned mountains into valleys, rivers into lakes, and forests into deserts.
And even the climate became unhinged.
All this was merely the aftermath of the miracle and divine power directed at the Demon King Hyrum.
It showed how powerful the divine authority and miracles of the Demon God were.
And then, the Demon King twisted such divine authority and miracles with overwhelming, out-of-standard power that transcended the boundaries of the demons.
The Flame Magic of the Demon King Hyrum was akin to the sun descending upon the land.
His Ice Magic literally froze everything. Even the air froze.
His Blade Magic cuts through the Demon God, along with space and time.
After three days and three nights of intense battle, the Demon God, whose divine body had been completely obliterated, collapsed before the eyes of the Demon King Hyrum.
“After incarnating and descending on the world, it is logical that even a God is bound by the laws of the world. Incarnation is the cause of your defeat.”
『Folly! Folly! Folly! King of the Demon tribes!』
Even though his body was almost destroyed, and even when he was on the verge of death, the Demon God continued to howl.
『…… it is settled, O arrogant and foolish King of the Demon tribes. How can a mere demon defeat the Demon God who reigns over all demons.』
“You’re actually the one who has fallen, aren’t you?”
『As long as you are a demon, you cannot escape from the palm of the God who controls all demons. Being born as a demon is the cause of your defeat.』
For some reason, the Demon God, who has been reduced to a tragic figure, was somewhat triumphant.
“What in hells!”
『Even though you are a demon, be proud that you have driven the Demon God into such a corner. And die!』
At that moment, the body of the Demon King Hyrum began to collapse helplessly.
“What have you done!”
『…… I never expected to use this against a living creature of the world.』
Demon King Hyrum glared at the Demon God.
The Demon God laughed with a horrifyingly hideous look on his face.
『I am the God who reigns over demons. You are indeed the mightiest of kings. You have driven me into a corner. But how could a demon stand against my divine punishment?』
“Divine punishment?”
『Not in a metaphorical sense. The God who reigns over all demons can do as he pleases with the life and death of the demons. It’s only natural. O foolish King of the Demon tribes.』
He trained himself to the point of vomiting blood.
Using all of his wisdom, strength, and magic, he ground him down in this battle for three days and three nights.
All of this was in the palm of the Demon God’s hand.
“…… Damn you!”
The dying Hyrum’s ears were filled with the high-pitched laughter of the Demon God.
◇◇◇
The body of the Demon King Hyrum collapsed into ashes and was blown away by the wind.
After confirming Hyrum’s collapse, the Demon God slowly disappeared.
Sometime after the Demon God who confirmed this disappeared, the door that Hyrum had been hiding under strict magical protection was opened.
What came out of it was a small demon girl.
The little girl was holding a crude necklace with great care.
The necklace was a talisman given to her by Hyrum.
“…… lod hiran. Uh… ugh…”
As she cries, the little girl frantically collects scraps of Hyrum’s clothes that have not yet been blown away by the wind.
Without worrying about getting her beautiful hair dirty, she works hard to collect them.

I started a new work.
“The Reincarnated Little Girl Is Loved by The Spirits She Saved in Her Previous Life.”
It is a story about a cute little girl who struggles leisurely with her fluffy friends and spirits.
