Prologue: Scheme of a thousand years

"Sigh"

A sigh escaped my mouth, I stare ahead at the millions of corpses of angels and demons. I'm really tired. This immortal war, I think...

I'm done.

It's time I retire, I will let the younger generation take over. Oh, what am I saying? I am part of the younger generation.

I remove my anti-law, anti-magic, and perfect defense barriers. I walk around, slow and steady. I arrived at my castle.

I walk up the long stairs as I reminiscence the past, When I was but a young demon. One who desired strength, desired omnipotence.

I remember the days I used to prank my master, the days when I had rivals. Sigh I really I'm too great. Even my late Master would think so, I really am an unrivaled genius.

As I finish climbing the steps and continue reminiscing,

"What are you doing?"

"Oh Master" That right, my master wasn't dead yet sadly. I had already reached the peak before he could be sent off, how sad.

He was an old demon, he was once a demon emperor who ruled the 9 layers of hell with tyranny. Yet now he was just a sad old man who sits all day, waiting around for me. Sigh would it kill you to take another student to bug? But who would blame him, I'm too good to be replaced. Sigh the greatness of someone superior.

He was a red colored demon with armor like scales, he had 6 horns like a crown with red soul stiring eyes. Sharp claws and tough tail he was 8ft tall with scars that spoke of his glorious battles in the past. Yet to me he was just a sad old man.

"Nothing really, Just thinking of retiring." I said while continuing to walk,

"Ah! You are finally tired? But you have so many years to live. You are one of the youngest demons after all compared to all those old trees, you should still be tired after another eon or so."

"Yes but unlike you, I am unrivaled. How sad, my greatness surpasses heaven and hell." I truly sigh in amazement of my superiority. I truly was born superior from the get go.

"There you go again, with that narricism. You know just because you are now doesn't meet later you'll still be unrivaled in the future." He said sagely as he walked next to me, Tch what an annoying old man. Can't he see I'm here thinking about my future.

"It's not narricism if it's true, I went alone to Heaven and fought countless Angels, no one could defeat me. I challenged even the oldest angel's the ones from the third eternal war. Yet they were all still suppressed by me."

"This is boring, I even sealed my powers to that of someone a bit stronger than mere mortals. And they still lost bloodied." I complain how weak everyone is, honestly could you guys give me a challenge? Some excitement?

"I almost regret training to be so strong, sigh the loneliness of being invincible" I sighed once more,

"Your right, but who knows what fate has in store for you. You know-"

"Yes yes, I KNOW. You've talked about this fate thing since I became your student, for over MILLIENUMS now." I face palmed, this old man really loves to ramble to me.

"Sigh, but it important you just remember the Roads of fate."

"I will, I will. Anyways I think I've decided, I'll go to the mortal realm."

"That pathetic realm? It truly leaves me speechless when I first learned the secret of it's existence."

"Indeed, I won't cause much chaos. I will just take a small 100 years break."

"I see come back soon." The old demon said,

"Mhm. Be careful I heard of a demon forming an original sin. If anything happens just in case here." I gave him a bracelet. I had already sealed my powers sadly, he couldn't see my power of creation.

"Heh, this old man still got some juice. Don't forget I was was an emperor once." He had a smug smile on his face as he puffed his chest proudly. Sure sure, I'm just afraid you'll leave waste to the title of an emperor if you died.

I still held my hand up with the bracelet.

"Just take it Master" I said, what an annoying thing to do.

"Eh, if your that adamant about it." He took it happily as he had already worn it.

"By the way don't forget the last key." I said,

"Ah don't worry haha. Though I don't think it would matter."

"Haha...." I glared at him.

"Don't worry, also shouldn't you be going on your way?" Old-man-demon quickly waved his hand as space ripped leading to an old bar on a human mortal world.

"Mhm" I nodded as I walked to the portal.

I stopped.

Old-man-demon also stopped as we both stared at the red sky somewhere fixated on a spot.

**********

I watch the two greatest demons in hell walk around. Hmmm for a war race there surprisingly simple.

I watch them through my mask as a blue demon stands right behind me with glowing green tattoos representing his sin.

I can't hear what they say, hmmm. I move slowly into space closing next to them to hear what they say in case anything ruined my plans.

Ah his going in a portal, I should know where his going incase my other plans mess up.

"Shit."

I felt two pairs of eyes stare at me. One from the current greatest demon world in Hell, the other from the strongest emperor of ancient times.

I feel a chill up my spine, I glance behind me to see how my little demon friend is doing.

Oh! He's kneeling.

I hastily move back using my space law to the max to quickly escape here. But a tremendous pressure soon locked on me.

Space itself was locked, Time was stopped. It felt like the end of the world. A Gray demon slowly walked to me with a 8ft tall one. Their pair of soul-stiring eyes, both shook me to the very core.

I had my cover blown as I hid behind my smiley face masked,

"Ah! It seems I was discovered" I said confidently, while inside my head I called my old trump card.

“System, how many points will it require for me to escape?”

{All of your points and will put you in some debt.}

“Send me away from here quickly” I had no confidence facing the two greatest demons, especially the current greatest one.

{Using point}

{Escaping}

Suddenly the red demon eyes suddenly flashed,

{Error}

{ERROR}

***

“A god’s power eh” Old-man-demon said,

“Interesting” I said with a bit of seriousness, gods were no joke after all.

I look at the masked man with a smiley face, how annoying. It some old fool who thinks he can scheme me. Heh, go scheme the whole Hell before you try to scheme me. I look at the demon behind him, so his the one with an original sin huh? Seems I was worried for nothing.

Sigh my greatness is truly supreme even original sins demons are trash to me.

Old-man-demon raised his hand as he crushed space.

“We will have a proper meeting in the future, forgive me but I am leaving early” The masked man suddenly said, as he gave a bow while a mysterious ancient power teleported the masked man away.

“Otherworldly god” We both said, staring at each other, seeing the seriousness in each other eyes.

“Well you go, I need to meet with the demon gods”

“Alright, take care” I said lightly as I move to leave.

Even if their involved, my greatness is supreme.
