A Portal to the Unknown
Kuragami stood beside Alexander as the air around them twisted unnaturally. A portal of pure darkness opened before them.
Beyond it lay something neither Hell nor Heaven—a universe of its own.
Alexander turned to Kuragami. "This place… it was created by Demon King Rimuru."
Kuragami narrowed his eyes. A world outside of existence? He was intrigued.
"Let's go."
Without hesitation, he stepped through.
Behind him, the 10th to 3rd Strongest Demons, Saphira, and Alexander followed.
The moment they entered, everything changed.

The Realm of the Second Strongest Demoness
The sky was eternal night, yet stars burned brighter than anywhere else. The land was made of obsidian, floating in a vast sea of cosmic void. Everything pulsed with power beyond mortal comprehension.
This was not just a battlefield.
This was the domain of the Second Strongest Demoness.
Then—she appeared.
From the shadows of the void, a figure emerged.
Her presence crushed the air itself, bending space around her.
Her beauty was inhuman—silver hair flowing like liquid metal, eyes blacker than the abyss.
She was tall, regal, her aura heavier than a collapsing star.
Her gaze locked onto Kuragami.
"So, you are Kuragami."
Her voice echoed like a prophecy.
Alexander took a step forward and knelt. "Yes, he is the Prince. The destined future Demon God. The Successor of Infinity."
The Second Demoness's expression remained unreadable.
"I expected you to arrive with the Goddess of Dragons. But she is missing. Why?"
Kuragami's expression darkened instantly.
Alexander lowered his head.
"The Goddess of Dragons… has been taken by Jews."
A heavy silence fell over them.
Then—power erupted from Kuragami.

An Unfathomable Aura
A monstrous wave of energy exploded outward, shaking the entire universe itself.
Kuragami's body was engulfed in a terrifying mixture of colors—
Black. Purple. Red. Blue. Gold.
His aura did not just expand.
It devoured. It consumed.
The very fabric of the universe trembled.
Then, he screamed.
"I WILL KILL EVERY GOD."
"I WILL SAVE MY MOTHER."
"I WILL TAKE REVENGE."
The entire dimension collapsed for a brief second.
Every demon knelt—not out of respect, but from sheer, overwhelming force.
Even Alexander fell to his knees.
Even the Second Demoness—one of the strongest in existence—was forced down.
This was not normal.
This was something beyond demons.
It was the true form of a being that defied the laws of the universe itself.

The Second Demoness's Realization
She looked up at Kuragami, her breath unsteady.
"...This aura…"
Her voice shook.
"It is beyond demonic. Beyond divine. Beyond reality itself."
She clenched her fists. "Kuragami, when my son comes to this universe… send him to me. He must see this. He must understand what you are."
She turned to Alexander.
"And you. You must go to Rimuru. Only he knows the truth of what is coming."
Alexander, still on one knee, nodded.
"I understand."
The Second Demoness exhaled.
"Then go. The gods are already watching. The war has already begun."
Kuragami clenched his fists.
"Good. Let them watch. Let them fear."
"Because I will tear them from the heavens and drown them in their own divinity."
As his aura burned brighter, the entire universe shook in anticipation.
The future Demon God had made his declaration.
And there was no turning back.
