you must make a choice.”

Kuragami’s mind spun. The overwhelming power surged through him, coiling like a sleeping dragon, waiting to be awakened. His mother was in danger. His people were suffering. And here he was—powerless.

But now, he had a choice.

The gods had abandoned him. The humans had turned their backs on him. The demons called him their prince.

Was he ready to accept the darkness?

Would he embrace his true heritage?

As the battlefield burned and the heavens trembled, Kuragami clenched his fists, his voice steady.

“I refuse to be weak.”

The Demon God’s laughter echoed through his soul.

“Then rise, Demon Prince. Your destiny begins now.”

A black aura exploded from within him, shaking the very fabric of reality. His body burned with newfound strength, his vision sharp, his senses heightened.

And for the first time in his two lives…

He was no longer powerless.

Betrayed, murdered, and torn away from his only family, Johnny’s life ended in despair. But fate had other plans. Reborn as Kuragami, the son of a fallen goddess and the Demon King, he awakens in a world of gods, demons, and war.

Haunted by his past and driven by vengeance, Kuragami swears never to be weak again. In a world where power is absolute, he must navigate divine conspiracies, ancient prophecies, and his own dark lineage.

As he unlocks terrifying abilities, the gods mark him as a threat, and the demons claim him as their prince. But Kuragami has only one goal—become strong enough to uncover the truth behind his past and protect the people he loves.

When the war between gods and demons erupts once more, will he stand as a savior… or embrace the darkness within?

Rebirth of the Vengeful Demon God

Brutal, blood-soaked battle against one of the Top 10 Strongest Demons—the Abyssal Warden, a creature born from endless suffering and war.

Manipulation at its peak: Kuragami doesn't just fight—he corrupts, deceives, and turns his enemies against each other.

The Abyssal Warden is not just one entity but a hive mind—a creature composed of thousands of souls fused together.

Kuragami finds a new power—the ability to consume and rewrite the will of his enemies, turning them into his Hollowed Legion.

Chapter 31: The First Demon Emperor – Feast of Betrayal

The Abyssal Warden stood before them, a monstrous fusion of countless bodies, shifting and writhing like a storm of flesh and agony. Its voice was a symphony of torment, each word layered with the cries of the damned.

"You are not welcome here, child of the forgotten."

Without warning, the Warden lunged. Its massive claw, the size of a fortress gate, descended upon him like the weight of a dying world. The impact shattered the earth, sending shockwaves that tore the landscape apart.

A streak of violet lightning—his movement was so fast the world itself seemed to lag behind. He reappeared behind the beast, his Forgotten Sword coated in blackened energy.

The Warden roared as an entire section of its body was erased, thousands of souls screeching in agony as their existence was wiped away.

Instead, the severed flesh reformed instantly, new bodies crawling out of the wound like maggots from a carcass. The more Kuragami destroyed, the more the Warden recreated itself.

Saphira watched in horror. "It… it can't be killed…!"

"Who said anything about killing it?"

He stepped forward, his Forgotten Eyes glowing with an unnatural radiance. He wasn't trying to win—he was learning.

And now he knew the Warden's weakness.

The beast was a prison—a mass of stolen souls bound together. It wasn't a being—it was a collective, held together by a singular, ancient will.

Kuragami's voice changed, a ripple of something dark, something that should not exist.

His shadow expanded, tendrils creeping forward like hungry specters. The Hollowed Curse—his new power—began to seep into the Warden's flesh.

The souls trapped inside felt it—the presence of something even more terrifying than their eternal prison.

The Warden froze. Its form shuddered, as if suddenly unsure of itself.

Kuragami's eyes pulsed with violet corruption.

"You have served your master for eons… but what has it given you?"

The voices within the Warden hesitated. Doubt.

And in that doubt, Kuragami struck.

His Hollowed Curse erupted like a plague, seeping into every soul, rewriting their very existence. The Warden twisted violently, its own body betraying it.

The thousands of trapped souls, once slaves, now his.

And then, with a final, deafening scream, the Abyssal Warden knelt before him.

Saphira trembled. "You… you turned it into your own weapon…?"
