The Thanatos Kingdom seemed oddly silent for now.

The news about the attack against the nearby Kingdom was easily spread by the people, alongside the notices about all of the Demon Generals being killed alongside the Greedy Queen.

Only a very small army had somehow managed to escape this ordeal, led by the Incubus King, who was so weak and small that not even Kireina's army or her children even noticed his presence as he escaped.

However, it was still a complete defeat, to the point that the royal families were shaken, many of them trying to call the King for a conference where he could inform things properly.

And as the King, he decided to do so.

Now that Elrinneth had died, the entire Kingdom was on his shoulders to maintain and lead, essentially, he had to tell his people and the heads of every royal family, descendants of the Demon Gods themselves, about what had occurred.

"King, please… tell us the truth! How… how did her majesty die?!" asked one of the heads of the royal aristocrat houses.

"Yes, please!"

"This… I still can't believe that all our army was annihilated!"

"There must be a mistake, this is simply impossible!"

"We invested so many resources in such a gigantic army, even the Azuma Empire would have fallen with such a powerful army! The Demon Generals were all said to be at the pinnacle of mortals… Then how?!"

"Even more, her majesty was incredibly strong, how is it possible for her to die?!"

"Answer us, King!"

Eranylan Larlyx Eorviraz, the Incubus King, sighed.

"I was right there when everything happened. The war started as we were teleported there by the grace of our Gods, only to be stopped by a large army of ridiculously powerful metallic golems… Flying golems… It seems that the Dark Moon Empire has been investing resources into the creation of new and revolutionary technology. They are like full armor sets that were also golems and alive, fueled by enormously ridiculous quantities of magic… each of those giant metallic golems was being worn by a person, and those persons were just as strong as the Greedy Queen if not more," said the Incubus King.

"That's…!"

"Technology?!"

"What kind of technology could even be like that?!"

"This is baffling!"

"But what are we going to do now?!"

"It seems that the Dark Moon Empire's was also attacked by a different force, the Gods that aided us, and seemed to have heavy loses, with many of their Empire being destroyed, they will most likely not try any retaliation for now…" said the Incubus King, although by basing off in the strength of Kireina and her children, he began to think that what he said might as well be just wishful thinking.

"That's a relief…"

"But the number of resources lost, the soldiers, and the guardians of our Kingdom!"

"We have been left completely defenseless now,"

"We will have to begin nourishing new talents and helping them as we can. As the King, I will make sure to bring this Kingdom back to its glory, I swear to my life and my deceased mother's name," said the Incubus King, his purple and pink eyes glowed with a fiery conviction, as his presence began to leak around the people surrounding him, understanding that he was dead-set to do as he had promised.

"King…!"

"It has really been quite hard…"

"Now that the Queen is dead, perhaps it's not that bad…"

"What? What are you talking about?!"

"You insolent! Are you happy about the death of our Queen by any chance?!"

The aristocrats around the Incubus King glanced at one aristocrat, a young Snake Demon.

"I am sorry for this insolence. But since Elrinneth-sama took the throne that she had suppressed our King's and his intentions, and had done absolutely nothing for the people of our Kingdom other than simply 'being strong'. Essentially, being strong is very important in a world like Genesis. But it is not everything that is needed to lead a country. Her chaotic and childish nature ended up ruining many transaction contracts we had with other Countries, and her hostility towards foreigners ended up limiting the progress of our Kingdom… Since she became a Queen that our Kingdom grew stagnant economically, and the rest of our citizens had become even poorer, people are dying every day out of hunger, and we had been sitting here doing absolutely nothing about it…"

"That's…!"

"You filthy snake, don't dare say another word!"

"Why are you talking about the demons outside of our families as people, are you out of your mind?"

"Those demons are nothing but fodder, I don't know why would you care about them,"

"If they are starving that's clearly because they are weak and pathetic, they don't deserve our mercy,"

"Only the strong deserve to be treated with respect!"

"Silence!" roared the Incubus King, as his aura covered all of the weak aristocrats, who were like ants compared to him.

Although he was incredibly weak compared to Kireina's children, the aristocrats present had barely ever trained their strength, and had only relied on what they were born with to be called 'strong'.

For sure, they might be stronger than the commoners, but they were not even close to the strength of the Incubus King.

"K-King…!"

"But King, he's…!"

"He's right. He is very right. It also pains me to say this, but indeed, Elrinneth had only been ruining our nation since she was made a Queen. Her childish nature, her immature personality, her extreme selfishness, the lack of devotion to her Kingdom. For her, everything was like some kind of game. She never cared not even for all of you present, and anyone except herself and the Demon Gods were 'ants', or perhaps, even less than ants. She did not even call all of you as people, even less the normal commoners that maintain our nation through their hard work," said the Incubus King, everyone suddenly fell silent, realizing that what he had said was true.

"That's…!"

"That's true…"

"Elrinneth-sama was… never someone we could call a Queen, to begin with…"

Some Demon Aristocrats began to speak, finally saying what they were saving inside of their hearts due to fear of rejection.

"You insolent filth!"

"Stop saying those things!"

"Commoners are nothing, why would you ever empathize with them?!"

"You dare go against the teachings of our religions?"

"You use the religion of the Demon Gods to manipulate people instead of bringing them salvation and hope for a better life. Religion is made to unify people into a single goal, to make them feel like they have a purpose, not to manipulate them to grow violent and perverse. Since I was a child that I have abhorred all of this!" said the King.

"But King, how can you say that?!"

"Perhaps he's not the real King!"

"T-True, maybe he's an enemy!"

"I am no one else than Eranylan Larlyx Eorviraz! Anyone who dares to not believe my true identity can feel free to attack me, I am waiting," said the Incubus King, as he released his powerful Aura.

"…"

"…"

"…"

"He's really the King. I know him. He has always been like this. That's why the Queen suppressed him! Eranylan-sama, please, lead this Kingdom to a brighter future!"

"Now that Elrinneth is finally gone… There is really a chance to change this for the better!"

"To finally make things right, to finally… help our people!"

"We have neglected them for way too long, we have to change how we had been doing things!"

"King, please!"

Eranylan smiled gently.

"Yes, leave it to me. But I am also counting on all of you to help me," said the Incubus King.

"No, you can't possibly think like that!"

"Are all of you out of your minds?!"

"If you change the whole structure of this Kingdom, the commoners will devour us alive!"

"Never give any power to the commoner, you fools!"

"This balance has been kept for years, do you truly believe that your stupid childish hopes will change things for the better?!"

"As we had been doing up until now is the right thing, we can't possibly let the commoners believe that they have any authority in this Kingdom!"

"Silence! Guards, throw them to prison!" said the Incubus King.

"What?! This is treason to the royal houses!"

"Let me go!"

"You… Eranylan, you'll pay for this!!!"

"You bastard, unhand me at once!"

"I am an aristocrat, how dare this filthy soldier to grab me so tightly?!"

Those that opposed the King were simply sent to prison, as Eranylan was dead set to change how this Kingdom worked alongside those that thought like him.

Although it was a very radical move, it was the right thing to do in these young aristocrat minds, they wanted to bring a change, to finally end this poverty and constant misery that 80% of the population suffered!

Conversations then took hold for a few hours, as the aristocrats planned many things and did many deals, after a long day, although he had lost a lot, the Incubus King felt like his heart was finally gaining hope.

He glanced at the window of his room, sipping wine with a warm smile.

He glanced at the moon atop the night sky, and then at his people below, all those he wanted to protect and bring to happiness.

"I will make sure to do what I promised you, mother," he said.

Sipping some wine, a fairy emerged from the sky out of thin air.

The Incubus King for a moment seemed like he thought of that as nothing, as his thoughts were elsewhere now.

But as he slowly realized that what had happened did not make any sense at all, he dropped the wine glass and glanced at the sky.

A slender body, wide hips, large breasts, a beautiful and sexy purple, and red dress, tight stockings decorated with butterfly-like shapes, long purple heels, beautiful black horns, bewitching beauty, malicious smile, and iridescent purple and crimson butterfly wings.

He remembered such description from what he had gathered of info long ago.

This was no one else than her.

"…Kireina!"

Kireina did not even notice the King calling her name, as she smiled above the skies, as if she challenged the Demon Gods themselves, the ones that protected this Kingdom!

Flash!

Everything happened too fast.

In a millisecond, a gigantic sphere of abyssal chaotic darkness emerged above her raised hands, she slowly pointed it at the… entire Kingdom.

"Wait… no! Noooo! WAIT A SECOND! KIREINA, STOP! STOOOP!"

The King busted out of the window, flying towards Kireina with everything he had, even if it costed his life, he had to stop her!

But it was too late.

Kireina did not even glance at him, as she dropped the gigantic sphere towards the Kingdom, and eternal darkness took ahold of the King and the entire population of the Thanatos Kingdom.

BOOM!

"NNNGAAAAAAAHHH…!"

Eranylan felt as if his entire body were about to explode into pieces!

He fell to the ground with a loud bang, as he could see the horror!

All of his people, suffering, agonizing!

"NNGGYAAAH!"

"IT HURTS! IT HURTS!"

"MOMMYYYYYY…!"

"UNNGGGYAAAAAAH…!"

"GGRROOAAAAHH…!"

"GGGGOOOOAOAAAHHH…!"

"GUUUOOONNHH…!"

Cries of agony, in every single corner.

Eranylan's entire body was agonizing in pain as well, as he was about to explode and then regenerate constantly!

His flesh contracted continuously, and his head seemed to be about to burst!

His mind fragmented several times and then reconstructed itself, as he delved into complete insanity while all the people around him agonized the same thing.

He did not know how long it took.

But it seemed like thousands of years, almost an eternity.

However, nothing more than five minutes were needed for this to be completed.

For him and all of his people to be reborn.

Eranylan glanced at his surroundings, as he woke up.

He found that everyone seemed… alive.

But many people experimented with strange changes, some people grew larger horns, others gained stronger scales, other various tails, and monster-like aspects, some gained very few things, it was not as if everyone turned into monstrous masses of flesh or something.

Eranylan himself also felt a few changes on his body, but nothing noticeable enough… other than a surging new strength all over him.

He glanced at the skies instinctively, alongside the rest of the people in the Kingdom.

Kireina was there, floating and glancing at them with a pleased smile.

Fascination.

Devotion.

Insanity!

It was as if they were glancing at the pinnacle of everything they had always looked up to!

She was like the complete recreation of all their fantasies, of all their purest to most wicked desires!

She was glory itself.

She was graceful, welcoming, beautiful, monstrous, strong, overwhelming, wise, understandable, warm, motherly, fatherly… She was… everything, and more!

The figure of this fairy was more than anything they had ever seen before.

She was like the amalgamation of everything.

A glorious existence above everything!

A Goddess!

Even if they tried to resist these thoughts, sooner or later, they ended up taking hold of their entire beings.

Kireina smiled at the skies, as suddenly, the entire sky began to break apart, and countless figures emerged, as an enormous ray of power hit the Kingdom and its surroundings, creating a new environment!

"KIREINAAAAAAAAA!"

This was the first time for all the citizens of the Kingdom to ever hear the voice of their chief God, Thanatos.

Sadly, it was filled with frustration and anger!
