The Author's POV

A white-haired figure suddenly materialized inside a dark hall where thirty or so figures appeared.

The surroundings fell silent, and all eyes fell on the white-haired man that materialized out of nowhere.

The sound of heavy breathing could be heard throughout the surroundings, but the increased breathing wasn't out of tiredness, no, it was out of fear.

A multitude of different emotions flashed on the faces of the people present.

Respect, awe, jealousy, fear, and even more fear.

Step—! Step—! Step—!

The white-haired man's footsteps echoed throughout the hall; it was the only sound that the people present could hear, perfectly synchronizing with the rhythm of their heartbeats.

Sitting atop a flight of stairs by the end of the hall was a gigantic and obscure black throne.

An eerie chill permeated throughout the hall as no one dared to speak a single word; they all looked towards the white-haired figure that was slowly walking towards the throne by the end of the room.

Each step the white-haired figure took was slow and steady, however, to those present, each step carried an unprecedented amount of pressure as some couldn't help but secretly swallow a mouthful of saliva.

Finally arriving at the throne, the white-haired figure slowly sat down on it.

Propping his arm up with the aid of the armrest of the throne, the white-haired figure, better known as the Demon King, rested the side of his cheek on his hand which was curled into a fist.

Without looking at the people in the room, he slowly closed his eyes.

The clouds covered the sky like a big black sheet, completely masking the light that was coming from the sun above the sky.

Nothing could be seen except a darkness that seemed to go on forever.

BOOOM—!

The darkness did not last for long, however. Thunderous explosions rang throughout the world as different colored lights began to spread throughout the sky.

BOOOM—! BOOOM—!

Smoke permeated throughout the world as the ground shook and black creatures fell from the sky like wingless birds, crashing onto the ground, and forming small craters around the area they fell.

Bang—!

Levitating in the sky like creatures of justice, and with light spreading out from behind them, a dozen or so figures stared at the area where the black creatures had fallen.

Slowly descending down toward the ground, a woman wearing a silver armor that shone brightly and gently wrapped around her figure finally opened her mouth.

"...Your race does not belong in this universe."

Her crisp and melodious voice rang throughout the world.

There was a mixture of displeasure and disgust in her voice as she looked toward a particular creature down below.

Twitch. Twitch.

Weakly turning around, the black creature turned his body over and looked toward the woman standing in the sky. With the light shining brightly from behind her, she looked like a goddess that had descended upon the mortal world.

"Cough...Cough..."

Coughing black blood down his body, the black creature laughed in deprecation. His blood-red eyes gazed upwards, towards the dark clouds covering the sky. Hanging down his neck was a simple silver necklace; attached to its end was a black box.
