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

In those ancient fragments of memory, where demons reigned supreme and darkness shrouded the land, a glimmer of light, initially like a flickering candle in the wind, eventually transformed into a raging inferno, tearing apart the eternal night.

The source of this light was not from some powerful alien race, but from the humans who were oppressed at the bottom and considered the weakest and most powerless—a girl who was born with pure light-attribute magic power that was considered a forbidden power for demons.

She grew up in the shadow of the demons, witnessing firsthand the enslavement and trampling of her fellow human beings, and watching orcs and elves bow their heads in humiliation under the power of the strong.

As she grew older, the power of light hidden within her increased, and along with it, the burning pain in her heart against injustice and oppression became increasingly unbearable.

Finally, after witnessing the atrocities committed by demon nobles who took pleasure in torturing and killing human slaves, the pent-up anger and grief overwhelmed the dam of reason.

She stepped forward, facing the arrogant demons with her frail body!

According to the ironclad rules of that era, such resistance was destined to be futile, and the outcome would be nothing more than being cruelly suppressed and tortured to death as a warning to others.

However, when the girl instinctively released the pure power of light within her in her desperate situation, a miracle—or rather, a nightmare for the demons—occurred!

That warm, holy, and seemingly harmless light, upon contact with the demon's body, unleashed an unimaginable and terrifying effect!

The demons' protective magic dissipated violently as if it had encountered its nemesis. Their flesh sizzled and burned under the light, emitting screams far more shrill than when they suffered physical damage!

Light has shown absolute restraint over evil!

At first, it was merely for self-defense, but after repelling and even killing the first demon, the girl herself was stunned. Then, an unprecedented courage and determination ignited within her!

She no longer backed down, but instead took the initiative to meet the demon guards who had rushed over upon hearing the news, and even those demon nobles whose strength far surpassed hers!

Miracles keep happening!

With her powerful light-attribute magic, which naturally counters demons, she overcame the odds and single-handedly annihilated the invading demons, including several demon nobles whose strength was two ranks higher than hers!

The demonic rule over the entire city crumbled under her dazzling yet deadly light!

Golden light illuminated the ruins, and also the numb faces of the human slaves who had long lived in fear and despair.

They stared in disbelief at the girl standing amidst the demon corpses, bathed in holy light, as if they were seeing a legendary savior... a god!

For the first time, the flame of hope was ignited in the dead and silent heart.

"She...she can lead us..."

"Light...light can kill demons!"

"We...we don't have to be slaves anymore!"

The cry, suppressed for far too long, has finally broken free of the shackles of silence.

The surviving slaves gathered around the girl, their eyes rekindling with a flame of "resistance."

They realized that if this girl of light were given more time to grow, her power would eventually be enough to challenge the rule of the Demon King that oppressed all races!

A single spark can start a prairie fire.

Thus, the uprising was born.

The news spread like wildfire across the continent. Not only humans, but also orcs and elves, who had suffered oppression and harbored seeds of hatred in their hearts, saw hope in breaking free from their shackles.

They began to secretly make connections, and eventually, all the oppressed races united and gathered under the girl's radiant banner, a symbol of hope and redemption!

A grand war aimed at overthrowing the absolute rule of the demon race and changing the格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or structure) of the main plane was thus launched, beginning a bloody and fiery prelude.

Faced with the flames of rebellion launched by the three races, the current Demon King, who sat at the pinnacle of power in the Demon race, initially reacted with disdain, even showing a hint of anger at being provoked by ants.

Throughout his long reign, similar "resistances" did occur, but without exception, they were all crushed to dust in the face of the absolute power of the demons.

He possessed overwhelming tenth-tier strength, commanded countless demon generals, and his demon army swept across the continent. In his eyes, the so-called Maiden of Light was nothing more than a slightly brighter firefly, which he could easily extinguish with a flick of his wrist.

"Insolent scum, how dare you tarnish the glory of the demon race?" The Demon King sneered, not personally taking action, but casually dispatching a detachment of his demon army to "sweep away" them, believing that this would be enough to crush those ignorant rebels and their ridiculous hopes.

However, the battle report sent shockwaves through the entire Demon King's Palace—the demon army had been easily annihilated by that girl of light alone, relying on her strange and powerful light-attribute magic!

Only then did the Demon King truly begin to take this sudden threat seriously.

Enraged, he finally decided to personally lead the expedition, vowing to wipe the girl of light and her followers, along with the sparks of rebellion they had ignited, from this world!

But he underestimated the power of hope, the absolute dominance of light over demons, and the speed at which the girl would grow through the baptism of blood and fire!

When the Demon King led his strongest ninth-tier demon generals, bringing the shadow of destruction to the rebel army, he was no longer facing the naive young girl who fought with only passion.

With the support of continuous battles and the power of faith gathered, her strength has undergone a qualitative leap, stepping into the ninth rank!

Furthermore, her mastery of her light attribute power has reached its pinnacle. The light is no longer merely a form of restraint, but also contains a law of judgment and termination!

A great war that would determine the fate of the world broke out under the ancient sky.

The result shocked all the surviving creatures.

With her absolute attribute advantage over the demon race, her own powerful strength at the peak of the ninth rank, and the power of belief gathered by countless oppressed races behind her, that girl of light actually unleashed a brilliance that made the world pale in comparison in this seemingly unequal battle!

With her ninth-tier body, she single-handedly killed the current Demon King, whose strength reached the tenth tier!

At the same time, her rebel army fought valiantly under her radiant light, killing and defeating the powerful ninth-tier demon generals around her one by one!

The fall of the Demon King was like the collapse of a pillar supporting the heavens and the earth.

Without its core, the demon army collapsed instantly, thus ending the long and dark era of demon rule.

However, after achieving this epoch-making victory and liberating all oppressed races, the girl who saved the world made a decision that shocked the world.

She did not exterminate the demons. Perhaps she knew the horror of the cycle of hatred, or perhaps she still harbored compassion for life.

She merely dismantled the demon race's ruling system, and just as she had suddenly appeared, she vanished without a trace amidst the cheers and reverence of the masses, and no one ever saw her again.

People of later generations, grateful for her achievements and kindness, revered her as "the first hero"!

Her legends have been passed down through generations, her deeds have been compiled into epics by bards, and her image has been engraved on stone tablets, written into the opening chapter of history.

She became an eternal symbol of hope, courage, and victory in the hearts of humans, and indeed all races that had ever been oppressed by demons.
