For the Demon King, today was absolutely the worst day of his life.
Everything was different from what it had imagined.
He thought he could defeat the hero, but he was beaten like a grandson by El.
He thought a new demon king would be born to avenge him, but the demon king's crown was chosen for El.
I thought El had run out of options, but then I saw him eating the Demon King's Crown.
"No, what are you doing? Stop it!"
The Demon King's flickering, lifeless soul cried out, trying to stop El's current actions.
Although the Demon King didn't believe El's new methods would work after the previous incidents, it still wanted the current situation to end.
This is the Demon King's Crown, the most precious treasure of the demon race, and it was worn on its head just a few minutes ago.
In this situation, seeing someone bite the Demon King's crown with their teeth and eat the fragments, the Demon King would feel more or less uncomfortable.
"Crunch... crunch... You know, who made this Demon King's Crown (chewing)? It tastes pretty good, doesn't it?"
It's quite amazing. El discovered that the Demon King's crown, which previously required a holy sword to destroy, could actually be destroyed with his own teeth. His pure numerical value was simply too high.
Grinding and swallowing the fragments, El found the taste quite novel and rather pleasant.
"It's alright, it's alright, just let this guy eat. He'll recover in a while anyway."
The Demon King was speechless at El's behavior. Why did this hero always act unpredictably?
Because of the Demon King's Crown's strength, it took El half a minute to eat just a small piece.
The remnant soul of the Demon King watched as the black crown shone brightly. Was it about to be restored?
"Hero, do you see that? It's all in vain... Wait, what's going on?"
The Demon King interrupted himself, because he saw a scene he could not comprehend.
The Demon King's crown shimmered, but the particularly noticeable notch with teeth marks on it had not healed.
"What happened? What happened? What happened?"
The remnant soul of the Demon King held his head in both hands, striking a pose reminiscent of the song "The Scream".
"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? Maybe I really have digested it."
You know what, this Demon King flavor is actually pretty good. I wonder how it was made.
El could feel that as he devoured the fragments of the Demon King's crown, some kind of power emerged from them, surging into his body, seemingly causing him to undergo some kind of sublimation.

The ancient demon king who created the Demon King's Crown used a certain technology to incorporate a certain concept inherent in the demon race into his identity as the lord of the demon race.
In this way, the Demon King's Crown became bound to the concept of the Demon race, gaining the functions of immortality, eternal life, and inheritance.
As for why not accumulate such immortality upon oneself and attain eternal life?
The ancient demon king couldn't do it; it only managed to gain access to the demon race's authority by using its status as a demon king, and its body couldn't bear such power.
The first hero actually drew inspiration for forging the Holy Sword from the Demon King's crown.
Realizing that it would be difficult for him to completely destroy the demon race, and unlikely that he could shatter the Demon King's crown.
In order to prevent the human kingdom from being defeated by the Ultimate Demon King who was gradually emerging from internal conflict after his departure, he began designing the Holy Sword.
In order to study the principles behind the Demon King's Crown, he killed more than one Demon King, since these Demon Kings were also proud and unwilling to be obediently studied by him.
