One night had passed in the Nine Realms. Amber was still having the same nightmare. Each time she fell asleep, the nightmare would instantly begin. It got to the point where Margaret went to get her some help.
Meanwhile
"How soon till the celebration is ready?" Rex asked.
"We have sent thousands of crystals across this area. Once I begin, everyone will see us." The current ruler replied.
Rex smiled.
Gremory was casually waiting on her que in the line. She felt something hit her. She looked around and saw nothing. She looked back at Rex and something told her to beware of the mask he was hiding.
"My instincts are usually not wrong. Why is this so different?" She wondered.
As she continued wondering, the start of the celebration came upon them.
"My fellow citizens, welcome to this glorious day!"
The Fae Devils all began cheering.
"Thank you all."
Rex could tell how serious the current ruler was. Every word that was said was his true feelings.
"Today is a celebration of mourning and happiness."
The cheering almost came to a dead stop. Mourning is something that celebrations are not of.
"I have grown too old and used up too much Fae Qi in my life. As such, I will have to step down as the Current Ruler of the Ancient Fae Devil Race."
The crowds began crying. Rex saw that the Ancient Fae Devils were crying truly because they were sad. The Fae Devils were just crying to cry, almost like they were robots programmed to do that.
"We do not have to fear. For I have found a solution, it is not a grand solution nor is it a solution that everyone will like and accept."
Gasps became normal from every corner. Rex knew that this was true emotion from everyone.
"For we, the Fae Devil Community, have been given a second chance to redeem ourselves. The price will be deep and hurt us over time but we will survive for we have since time ago."
Sweat began rolling down every single Fae Devil. Their worries now multiplied.
"Not long ago, the whispers of someone to come help sounded again after the rush of whispers."
Shocked expressions made the Fae Devils realize that they might actually survive.
"However, the whispers that truly made the person is not who we would like to have come."
Everyone realized what the ruler was about to say. They could not bear to actually hear it.
"The answer to every single thought is yes. A New Demon King of Annihilation has been born and is the one to answer the whispers."
No one cried nor cheered. Their worries on survival at their max.
"We have been privileged to have a woman Fae Devil come forth to meet the Demon King of Annihilation. Her attitude towards him caused him to accept her as a Battle Maid."
This caught everyone by surprise.
"For we will lose Gremory, Astarte has a Fae Devil. We will gain much more if she can lead a legion of our best fighters into a war and win."
Truly shocking news made everyone want to charge into battle.
"I know for the Anceint Fae Devils, this is probably the worst time to hear such news. We are already suffering."
Not a single cheer or cry was made from the Fae Devils. No one could understand what truly was said.
"I will go on ahead and say this now. Most of us in the Ancient Fae Devil are either too weak to continue leading or we have to fight to keep the ones from ruining our Race at bay."
Gremory was too stunned to hear what news was actually said. This in turn made all the Fae Devils and Ancient Fae Devils begin sweating.
"To help us as Ancient Fae Devils, I will be passing the rulership of our Race to the Demon King of Annihilation."
Most of the Ancient Fae Devil were either glad to have the burden off of them or willing to accept the new rulership.
The Fae Devils were split between two sides. The Nobility side which wanted to cause too much ruckus and get the annihilation of their race or the lower end of the Fae Devils wanted to root out the evil within their Race.
"I know their are multiple sides to this now. Believe me," the ruler spoke with confidence and unyielding determination,
"We, the Fae Devil Race either Ancient or not, will be able to become great under the Demon King of Annihilation. I know several of us will die before we can see the true glory of our race once again! Now, my people, my friends, my family, we have to prepare ourselves for War! I will permit the use of our Ancient Customs of War! We will unite under one banner! We will strive for one goal! We will strike fear into those who deem the Nine Realms or our Realm to be destroyed! We will unlease our deepest grudges! We will not stop even if only ONE FAE DEVIL IS ALIVE!
NOW WE WILL UNLEASE OUR WINGS! UNLEASE THE WEAPONS THAT CAUSED US TO BE LOCKED AWAY! UNLEASE THE NIGHT RED SKY WELCOMING DEATH UNDER OUR FEET! WE WILL CHARGE INTO VICTORY NOT WASTING ANY DEATH THAT COMES FROM US. INSTEAD, ANY DEATH WILL MAKE US RAGE EVEN GREATER!"
The stomping of the Fae Devil Race could be felt across the crystals in the entire Realm.
Rex feeling motivated himself felt that this was about to become a grand army.
"NOW," the cheering began to gradually slow down and ten minutes later stopped, "a word from the Demon King of Annihilation."
Rex stepped forward, "Greetings, I am the current Demon King of Annihilation. I am also the First Ever Demon King of Annihilation."
Every single Fae Devil, Ancient or not, felt the presence of Rex.
"I have fought against some of the Race that wants to destroy us. I made a mistake that has cost several worlds and Realms their destruction. All because I was a greedy man. Even before I became a Demon King of Annihilation, I was greedy. That greed is coming to haunt us."
The Fae Devils listened very closely their hearts in turmoil.
"I fought against a being called the Dark Abyss."
The Fae Devils realized how powerful he truly was then and there.
"I prevented the Faerie Race from being destroyed. Yet, I destroyed several Realms ans worlds because of it.
Now, I am paying the price for my decision. I cannot always be accepting of what I can or cannot do. I do the best that I can.
I have place in the Demon Realm that you all can train and showcase your powers. I request that the strongest 6,666 Fae Devils come and be led by Gremory, Astarte. She will become my Goddess of War by leading this legion of Fae Devils into battle.
If you do not wish to fight, it is fine. I cannot and will not stop you. I will not protect this Realm as much if I do not have your corporation either. Your friends, family, neighbors, Ancients, and pride ride along your belief in me to lead you all to glory that has never been seen in the Nine Realms!"
