The maid squad is too strong, what use is there for me, the Demon King?

The prime plane does not allow the existence of life forms of the tenth order.

This statement clarifies why the seven great demons are imprisoned in the Netherworld Prison and dare not come to the main plane, and why the angels are eyeing Bai Lin, who has ascended to the tenth level.

Tenth-tier angels have never appeared in the main plane. Occasionally, they descend from the [Celestial Realm] into the secret realm, but only to punish demons who have escaped from the Netherworld Prison and to bring tenth-tier white scales to the [Celestial Realm].

This is important intelligence that can be made public at present, but based on the above intelligence, a problem has arisen.

Gray is also a tenth-tier demon king, and he became a tenth-tier demon king several years ago.

Since the main plane does not allow the existence of tenth-tier life forms, he should have been taken to the [Heavenly Realm] by angels several years ago when he became a tenth-tier professional.

But the angels didn't make a sound at all, and at that time he didn't even know that there was a rule that "the prime plane does not allow the existence of tenth-order life forms".

why?

If Gray was simply being low-key, it's illogical that the angels and goddesses of the Celestial Realm didn't notice he had reached the tenth rank and therefore didn't come knocking on his door.

Because during the "White Scale Incident," angels and goddesses definitely noticed his existence and knew that he was a tenth-tier professional.

He can kill a tenth-level angel, so no one would be surprised that Gray possesses tenth-level strength.

However, the goddess only took away the white scales and banished Gray from the [Heavenly Realm].

The Prime Material Plane does not allow the existence of tenth-order life forms, but it spared him, allowing Gray to remain in the Prime Material Plane.

Why is this?

Gray could only think that it might be related to his identity as the Demon King, but he had no way of guessing the specific reason.

Gray had thought about this before, but he couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation and eventually gave up.

Hearing a cult bishop say such things now shows that cult members of this faction know something about similar world rules.

Gray recalled his last visit to the Kingdom of Demelia, where he destroyed the stronghold of the Lust and Pleasure cult. He had dealt with a cult member of bishop rank and discovered that the bishop was actually the previous hero, who had spoken to him with some very cryptic words before his death. (This part appears around the beginning of Chapter 74.)

"To turn night into day, and rain into clear skies—only a god could accomplish such power, could he?"

"So that's how it is. So this year's Demon King is such a terrifying creature."

"So what? You still can't escape this endless cycle of reincarnation or escape His grasp!"

"He" is undoubtedly referring to the goddess in the celestial realm.

Gray also had a clue what reincarnation meant.

It most likely refers to the history of humans and demons.

The cycle of "humanity prospers while demons decline, and demons prosper while humans decline" is constantly repeated, and it is always the heroes and demon kings who turn a race from decline to prosperity.

This is just an endless loop, going around in circles, with no end in sight.

Now I can understand the general meaning of this sentence.

"Unable to escape His palm" refers to the cyclical nature of human and demon history, which is inextricably linked to the goddess of the [heavenly realm].

However, this was something I could have imagined as soon as I learned of the goddess's existence.

The former hero was a bishop of the Lust and Pleasure faction of the Demon Order. So, does the archbishop of the Lust and Pleasure faction in front of us know more?

Since you're already cooperating with the other party to stall for time, you're likely to get honest answers to your questions, right...?

With the "silence" in place, can you really get anything out of them?

Prepared to get nothing in return, and thinking "it's better not to ask," Gray carefully considered what he could say without being "silenced" and asked the archbishop, "Your faction lost a bishop a few days ago, right? Was it the former, former, former hero?"

The archbishop was only slightly moved by what he heard, and then he thought: "You also killed Gavin Mars. It's a pity that he is no longer a hero. Otherwise, even if he could be killed by the Demon King, he would still cause you a lot of trouble."

Gray nodded slightly in agreement: "Indeed, if he were still the hero, I wouldn't dare kill him to help the next hero build up protection."

The archbishop was slightly surprised upon hearing this: "This year's Demon King is quite clever; he knows that killing the hero is pointless."

They've been hiding so well; no wonder I've heard news of the hero but never of the Demon King.

Instead of staying away from you, you've come looking for trouble with our Demonic Cult without any grudge against us?

Gray said slowly, "It's not that we're completely without grudges. I have several servants who hate you to the core. Of course, even without them, I personally despise you demons' lackeys."

Besides, fighting you guys is much easier than dealing with the hero.

Killing a bishop is killing a bishop, unlike the hero who can have a new one appear every few days. Moreover, killing the demon's main body severs a faction of the demon cult.

"I can't handle heroes, but dealing with you cultists is a piece of cake."

"Lackeys... that's too harsh a word. We're just trying to survive in this unreasonable world, to be unhappy with the high and mighty 'them,' and to make some profit for ourselves. Besides, the people who are victims of our activities, if not never, are almost never your demons, right?"

Humans should hate us more, not us! Why would you, Demon King, help humans resolve their hatred?

Gray replied nonchalantly, "Well said, most demons would think that way, but is it really so unreasonable for me to not tolerate your existence?"

Seeing that his words had no effect whatsoever, the archbishop thought to himself, "This is really strange."

Why is this Demon King acting so calmly? Even if he knows that killing the hero is useless and he is in a certain death situation, from the perspective of the entire race, shouldn't he hate humans?

Why is this demon king so indifferent to the point of "helping humanity resolve their deepest grievances"?

Could it be that knowing he was doomed, he gave up, realizing that opposing humanity would only hasten his death, and felt indifferent, content to live one year at a time, having let go of his hatred for humanity? ...Or perhaps he knew he couldn't avenge this hatred anyway, so he simply gave up...

That doesn't make sense. Even if you've given up your hatred for humanity, you shouldn't be causing trouble for our Demon Cult, right?

How can you let go of your hatred for one person and then take revenge on someone you have no grudge against?

The archbishop did not understand why Gray had attacked them.

After all, Gray, this Demon Lord, is a little bit special (in the Fingertip Universe).
