Primordial Soul's Rebirth

As said many times before, the demon's ability to perceive demonic energy is very acute.

It is also said that they are very strict about bloodline superiority.

So, now this is where a question comes in.

What would happen if a group of demons felt the most powerful form of demonic energy they had ever felt, along with the strongest and purest bloodline ever?

The answer was simple: total submission.

That's what they would do.

They won't even raise their heads until the one with those two superior qualities orders them to.

It won't change their mindset, nor will it make enemies turn into friends, but as the rules of the demon capital states; no demon would raise their head.

Whatever frustration, anger, or any other rebelling thoughts they have will stay in their heads until they are in front of the said being, at least.

That is what happened the moment Alex released his incubus bloodline along with his demonic energy.

The demons didn't know who it was or if it was Alex.

All they knew was that there was a superior being that was about to enter the throne room.

'Kneel!'

Just this thought came to their minds, and they kneeled without a second of contemplation.

They heard the gate being pushed open, but none of them looked up.

They didn't dare to raise their heads.

Even if one or two wanted to look at the one who opened the gate and check whether it was the new demon lord or one of the generals, the presence of a demon much stronger than demon generals descended upon them.

They didn't know who the owner of the pressure was; none of them had ever felt it.

Even the dukes of the empire, the ones who were considered some of the oldest members of the demon empire, were unaware.

*Step**Step*

All they heard were the footsteps of a single person resounding throughout the throne room.

They couldn't hear any other footsteps, but it was given since the generals were strong enough to manipulate mana with such precision to coat their feet with mana.

Heck, even an S-ranked would be able to do that.

The footsteps kept getting closer for some of the demons and farther for others.

Those steps only stopped once they reached the pedestal for the throne, but that was only for an instant before they heard a voice…

"Stay."

A deep, commanding, and majestic voice.

The sound was low, like a purr, but they could hear it like it was being spoken into their ears.

That alone was enough to let the ones who were epic rank and above know that the one sitting on the throne was at least an epic-ranker.

Only after reaching epic rank can one do it.

They heard a rustling sound. Every little sound was audible since the hall was enveloped in a pin-drop silence.

Then they heard the command...

"Rise."

As if their legs were made of springs, one that had its own control button in Alex's hand, the moment he commanded them, the demons stood up in unison—not a second earlier nor later.

They finally saw him.

Sitting on the demon lord's throne, evoking such grandeur that none of them had ever seen.

His sharp red eyes kept scanning through the crowd, and anyone who met his eyes lowered their head.

Some out of embarrassment, some to hide their blushes, some out of fear, and some out of inferiority.

Just looking at the man sitting on the throne with a world-shaking beauty on his lap was enough to make them realize the true meaning of majesty.

Their eyes were so focused on Alex that they didn't even notice the demon generals moving to stand face-to-face with him.

They were still standing on the ground, not moving up the steps toward their thrones.

Then, all of a sudden, they went down on a knee, joined their hands together, placed them on the bent knee, and then bowed their heads.

The demons in the room, however, were still staring at Alex and Luna, enamored by their looks.

Nyx was not kneeling along with the other three generals; he was standing beside Alex, along with Azaroth.

He was still invisible, though.

"We greet the demon lord and the demon ancestor!" X3

The yells of the three demon generals finally broke the demon out of reverie.

'Wha…'

'The demon lord...'

'Ancestor?'

'Demon ancestor, who?'

The demons, although aware of the demon generals' positions, were more confused now.

If it was just greeting the demon lord, then they would already be on their knees, saluting their new lord.

But who was this demon ancestor?

This was something they didn't know about.

Experience new tales on empire

Even the dukes of the empire and the kings of several kingdoms were confused.

"We greet the demon lord and the demon ancestor!" X3

The demon generals, who didn't hear anything even after their greetings, frowned, and this time, they added their mana pressure to their voices.

*Boom* X3

Their mana pressures crashed on the demons, crushing some weaker ones while the stronger ones struggled to even stand up.

The demon generals weren't using their full power right now; they didn't want to kill everyone after all.

They were just trying to give everyone here a wake-up call.

Some casualties were ignored; no one in the demon empire cared for the weak.

The demons, who felt the pressure on their bodies, finally realized their mistake.

*THUD*

Almost as if preplanned, all of the demons fell on their knees at the same time.

However, unlike the demon generals, who were kneeling on a single knee, the others knelt on both of their knees.

It was just so they could keep their heads a level below the generals or the archdukes.

"WE GREET THE DEMON LORD AND THE DEMON ANCESTOR!"

The whole palace trembled because of the intensity of the demons' shouts.

The grounds vibrated; even Luna, who was sitting on Alex's lap, could feel the trembling in the air.

Alex, still sitting on the throne, smiled as he leaned back on the throne, pulling Luna closer and making her fall on his chest.

Luna was now trying her utmost to keep her expression still, or she feared that a furious blush might creep up on her face.

Her neck was already red, but the fur on the shawl she wore was covering it well, so she was fine for now.

Alex then waved his hands.

"Relax."

He uttered, but as the demons were standing up, a glint of surprise flashed through his eyes.

Neither Luna nor Azaroth noticed anything since they had their eyes fixed on the demons in front of them.

But even if they did, they couldn't possibly know the reason for Alex to be surprised.

It wasn't that he was surprised at the demons or that they could pinpoint the demon he was looking at; he was surprised by the new system notification—the new quest that he had received.

'Is this…?'
