"Primordial Red, my wives want to beat you up, so of course I'll let them have their fun."
With Rei Ao's casual statent,
Guy felt an imdiate sense of danger.
He had no idea how Rei Ao had suddenly beco more powerful than the Star King Dragon, but if he needed to escape, he would.
Too bad—
All at once, Guy's body went limp, collapsing to the ground.
His magicules, his strength…all gone!
"Velzard, Velgrynd—didn't you say you wanted a crack at him?"
"Ah, I've been itching to get my hands on him," Velzard said with a cold smile.
She still bore a grudge about how, despite his defeat, the Star King Dragon had once taken pity on him.
Velgrynd was more direct.
Crack! Crack!
She clenched her fists so hard the joints popped, ready to charge in at any mont.
Rei Ao watched them, all too eager for a fight, and smiled faintly. "He's powerless now—do as you like."
"Powerless?!"
"Oh-ho?!"
A gleam flashed in both their eyes.
"…"
Guy looked on in confusion, realizing Velzard and Velgrynd were approaching him with ill intent.
It was his first ti feeling truly powerless, and with it ca a fear he had never known—not even when facing the Star King Dragon.
"Gulp!"
He swallowed. "D-Don't co any closer!!!"
"Aaaaargh!!!"
Amid screams, the sounds of fists and feet striking flesh echoed back and forth.
anwhile, Rei Ao turned his focus inward, exploring the power that ca with his Demon Lord status.
Magicules.
They were both the most fundantal and the most potent force in this world.
Now, Rei Ao could effectively command the magicules of the entire universe.
Creating a world out of magicules would be trivial for him.
Likewise, with this imnse reservoir of magicules, he could resurrect life just as easily.
He could watch over the birth and death of the whole cosmos.
If he wished, he could even bring the Star King Dragon of Creation back to life.
But that was Velzard and Velgrynd's older brother, and he had no particular desire to resurrect him. Among dragonkind, such familial bonds did not run like those of humans. For them, the Star King Dragon was simply an exceptionally powerful being—nothing more.
He did, however, have interest in resurrecting two individuals, both of whom were connected to Guy, who was currently being pumled nearby.
With a single thought, two translucent figures—one green, one blue—appeared before him: two won.
One had long green hair and erald-green eyes; the other had short blue hair and sapphire-blue eyes.
Their striking features echoed those of Guy Crimson with his red hair and eyes. Indeed, their identities were of a similar nature to his.
"Where…are we?"
The green-haired woman opened her eyes in confusion.
"…"
The blue-haired woman likewise opened her eyes, her calm blue gaze locking onto Rei Ao.
They were, like Guy, Primordial Demons—the original devils.
"Primordials" are the very first demons to arise from the darkness.
There are seven of them in total, each represented by a color: Red, Black, White, Purple, Yellow, Blue, and Green.
All demons born afterward are the 'descendants' or followers of these seven.
These two were Primordial Green and Primordial Blue—in another tiline, they would have been resurrected by Guy Crimson as his servants. But in this world, events had diverged so drastically they never ca back to life.
"You two should realize you're both dead, right?" Rei Ao said to them.
Primordial Green raised an eyebrow. "I died…killed by Red when I challenged him. And Blue died along with ."
Primordial Blue silently nodded.
In ancient tis, they had both erged from the Great Spirit of Darkness. Together, they challenged Primordial Red.
Guy defeated them, crushing their cores and annihilating them both.
Sensing sothing, Primordial Blue turned her head, spotting Guy Crimson being beaten up by two opponents at once.
She went wide-eyed.
"Green, look over there!"
"Huh?"
Primordial Green looked in the indicated direction.
Ti seed to freeze.
"Wha—?! That's…Red?"
She was dumbfounded.
Seeing the once all-powerful Primordial Red—who had killed them—getting stomped by others was so bizarre, she wondered if she was dreaming.
Or maybe…
"He…just looks like Red, right?" Green tried to rationalize.
But it was more than that. She couldn't sense any magicules in him—he seed like an ordinary human at best.
"He is Primordial Red. Guy Crimson," Rei Ao stated firmly, bringing them back from their shock.
"But if that's Red, why doesn't he have any power?" Primordial Green still found it hard to believe.
Back then, even joining forces with Blue hadn't been enough to defeat him…
"Because I stripped him of it. My wife didn't like him, so she wanted to beat him up a bit."
His casual explanation left both Primordial Green and Primordial Blue montarily speechless.
Just who had the power to remove all of Primordial Red's strength simply because his wife wanted to beat him up?
Was he the Star King Dragon…?
They both entertained the thought simultaneously—and concluded it might be true, given that the ones pumling Guy were a pair of dragonkind even stronger than they were. Only the Star King Dragon could be worthy of marriage to them, right?
"Are you… the Star King Dragon?" Primordial Green asked doubtfully.
"No. My na is Rei Ao," he said, shaking his head. Then he got down to business.
He hadn't brought them back from the underworld just to make small talk.
"It doesn't matter who I am; you only need to know that I can resurrect you."
Resurrection…
Primordial Green and Primordial Blue exchanged glances.
Neither wanted to remain dead, so they did desire resurrection.
But neither showed outright excitent. Both understood sothing crucial:
No one does such a thing for free.
"What's the price?" Primordial Blue asked, cutting straight to the heart of it.
"The price is simple: eternal service—loyalty to ."
Rei Ao wasn't hiding anything. He had specifically recalled them because he admired both their power and their beauty.
"…"
The two fell silent. Rei Ao didn't rush them; he waited patiently for their reply, while the background resounded with Guy's continuing shrieks of pain.
After a while, they exchanged one more glance.
Primordial Green spoke: "We have a condition of our own."
"A condition? Let's hear it."
"We want to beat up Primordial Red, too!" they said in unison.
"???"
Bruised, swollen, barely conscious, Guy still seed to recognize those voices.
His entire body started trembling involuntarily, an ominous premonition telling him he was in for even more suffering.
Ugh…like he wasn't already?
"Aaagh, that hurts!!!"
