Among extraordinary beings, there is such an absurd legend, or rather, a story that resembles a rumor.
Legend has it that before the day when all the gods disappear...
No, even earlier than that.
When the gods began to clash, several goddesses vying for the power of prophecy jointly claimed that they had all foreseen a future.
A cruel future that will silence everyone.
In that prophecy, they saw the sky collapse and the earth crumble, and the world was torn apart by the war of the gods, almost reduced to scorched earth.
The eternal and immortal stars fell from the sky, descended to earth, and perished...
Chaos, order, justice, evil, neutrality... everything that makes up the world no longer matters, and in the end, it all turns into nothingness under the power of a certain being.
They fell into a void where no future could be seen.
Therefore, to avoid such a tragic future, they jointly issued this divine decree:
"The war of gods should not continue."
"[Among the weak sons of man, a terrifying being will be born, bringing about the end of the gods' twilight.]"
"Beware of humans!"
However, no deity heeded this warning at the time.
Because humans at that time were simply too weak.
To the gods, humans posed no threat whatsoever. Compared to the threatening livestock, they were more like talking insects.
Their greatest characteristic is their weakness, while their only advantage as intelligent beings is their large numbers.
In any case, the arrogant gods would not see humans as a threat.
The other deities only regarded their prophecies as a form of admonition, using prophecy as an excuse to prevent the gods from fighting each other.
Some deities even took this as a signal and a beginning, and launched a divine war accordingly.
Amidst the conflict of power and territory, whether intentionally or unintentionally, all the gods were swept up in the torrent of that era.
They formed alliances, betrayed each other, fought, plundered, and slaughtered each other...
The gods were no longer aloof; they personally attacked their "comrades."
That struggle continued until the day they suddenly disappeared.
No one knows why the gods disappeared, and the extraordinary beings are plunged into great panic. Just as they are trying various methods to awaken the gods...
Humans have returned.
When the united humans returned, upon discovering that the seemingly weak insects had gained immense power, the remaining extraordinary beings unanimously recalled the prophecy.
The prophesied existence did not occur, but the prophesied scenario seems to have already happened.
Humanity has truly gained power!
Moreover, that power was stolen from the gods!
The battle broke out once again.
This time, however, it is no longer a battle between gods, but a battle between the apostles of the gods and the blasphemers who steal the gods' power.
...
The battle ended badly for the supernatural beings; they were forced to leave their homeland and live a miserable life of hiding and fleeing.
They hide in dangerous corners of the world, barely surviving while gathering strength for revenge, and waiting for the gods to return.
During this time, the original prophecy was gradually mentioned by the extraordinary beings and gradually became the story we know today.
Secretly, some people want to blame the previous failures of the extraordinary beings on prophecy.
"Such a scene has been foreseen by the gods!"
"This is merely a test of our faith!"
"If we persevere, the gods will surely come after us again!"
The terrifying being born from the son of man in the prophecy gradually acquired a new name as it spread.
That being who will ultimately bring about the end of the gods' twilight, he is called...
[Demon King]
The demon king who will bring about the end of the gods.
...
...
After the third saint spoke meaningfully, silence fell over the space, and the other saints did not immediately refute him.
They did not laugh at him for bringing up that seemingly absurd and self-deceptive prophecy.
As saints whose strength at the time was enough to reach the first tier of power below the gods, they had also heard of this matter.
Moreover, they know more than those people.
for example……
This is not a rumor.
This story is not something that supernatural beings made up to comfort themselves.
It's true that some divine being foresaw such a tragic future!
If only one deity encounters it, it can be explained as foreseeing a tributary of fate. But if multiple deities encounter such a future together, it represents a different meaning altogether.
Such a future is very likely to come true!
Perhaps, the gods will truly face their final twilight because of humanity.
"Demon King..."
The somewhat taboo name made the atmosphere in the space heavy; none of them wanted to see that kind of future actually come to pass.
Now, just as they decided to make a comeback and were preparing to show their strength for the first time, they suffered a devastating blow, even paying the price of a saint!
The unfolding of this drama felt like destiny, leaving them with no choice but to ponder it.
But after a long silence, the fourth sage, who had not spoken until now, slowly shook his head:
"No, he can't be the Demon King."
After everyone else's attention turned to him, he explained earnestly:
