"Ha ha, that is indeed the case," the speaker chuckled.

"This is a truly fresh story," another remarked.

"Yurasiel felt immense exhilaration as he watched the low-level demon who had been deprived of his power by the human, finally take his own life in self-destruction. It was a story that shocked not only the demon lords, but even the demon kings and archdemon rulers, as it hinted at the possibility of an alien existence that could annihilate demons in the demon realm, and perhaps even provide eternal rest to the demon kings themselves. After that, the demon kings eagerly anticipated the human's challenge, so that they could escape the emptiness of time. They continued to accept his challenges until he reached a level where he could withstand their power and welcome a beautiful demise, at which point they would eagerly await the next challenger.

"Hmm, so you've been hiding this exciting story from us for so long. It explains some things that I didn't understand before. But Caspiel, why did you choose to become my servant instead of choosing self-destruction?"

"Ha ha, wouldn't self-destruction be possible at any time as long as my master is here? And being with my master could also escape this boring emptiness of time. Didn't my master even start a war with the second realm of gods? It was something that no demon king had ever thought of during that long period of time. Thanks to that, I was able to tear apart hundreds of millions of those unbearable gods with my own hands, which was very refreshing and enjoyable."

"Is that so? I'm glad to hear that you found it helpful, but I have no intention of ever annihilating you. To me, you're not just a subordinate, but a friend and a mentor, even more than that."

"Hehe, those are nice words to hear. However, even if my master doesn't want it, there will come a day when I will be destroyed."

"That won't happen. By the way, what's the reason for telling this story now?"

"You said you wanted to go have some fun on Earth, right? I pressured those guys from the dimensional management agency and found a way for us to go back to Earth."

"No, it's not about having fun, I just want to take a look around where I used to live."

"Hehe, direct transportation to Earth is not possible, but it's possible through my 3000th dimension. After the great upheaval, it was connected to the 28733rd dimension where Earth is located. So, for now, just move to my 3000th dimension and think about what to do next."

"Then, why did you have to ramble on about this old story instead of just getting to the point?"

"After the 3000th dimension was connected to Earth, the people in that dimension may not have noticed, but time started to flow similarly to Earth's time. And the time flow of the 28733rd dimension where Earth is located and the seventh demon realm differs by about a million times. So, if you go back now, only about 400 years will have passed since my master fell into the demon realm."

"Is that so?"

The beings of the Dimensional Management Bureau claim that in order to travel to the 3000th dimension, one must have a physical form and level of enlightenment that is appropriate for that dimension. The number of individuals allowed to travel is also limited to one, as decreed by the master. Although I tried to persuade him to let me accompany him, he informed me that traveling through a single-numbered dimension has never been done before and that he only obtained special permission due to the imminent threat of destruction. Nevertheless, as someone who is subordinate to the master, if he goes first and follows the path of that dimension, I will be able to follow him. However, due to the intense differences in the passage of time, I cannot predict whether I will arrive in the same era as the master or many years later.

"Well, that's a problem. Should we try to negotiate with the Dimensional Management Bureau?"

"They must have their own stance as well. But, you know, as an immortal being, we may eventually meet each other someday. As I pondered about it, I found myself lost in my own thoughts and telling old stories. Oh well, anyway, the master's power is not limited by dimensional travel, but his physical form and enlightenment level may still be that of a beginner even in the 3000th dimension. Is that okay?"

"It doesn't matter. It will be fun to train again. It has been a long time since I last did any training."

"Haha, very well. Then, how about the physical form of an Intermediate Demon Gor'katus? Its body has an indestructible shell and emits a potent poison from its saliva, while its dozens of tentacles can sweep away entire armies. It will probably take about 400 nerfs to reduce its level to that of the 3000th dimension. With such a body, we should be able to penetrate through the mid-level realm within a few days of arrival."

"Hmm, wouldn't that be too grotesque? What about the human form?"

"Hahaha, the master, who has made even the most powerful gods tremble, values beauty over combat ability. It's also a new discovery."

"Well, I'm starting to remember some things from my time on Earth, and I don't think I'd look good with tentacles dangling around."

"If you go with a human form, you will probably suffer a lot. The infinitely weak human body requires much more effort and suffering to surpass the limits than other races."

"It doesn't matter. When I came to the Demon World, I came with a human body."

"I see. Then, let's start preparing."

Swoosh!

As the dark magical energy surged and the strong winds of the 7th Demon Realm raged, Caspiel disappeared from his spot and reappeared with a human-shaped object a moment later.

Thud.

With a fearful form of a human, a figure of such beauty that did not seem to exist in the world of ordinary humans knelt before the master of the 7th Demon Realm.

"All hail the ruler of all demon realms."

An ecstatic beauty, a pinnacle of beauty that cannot be expressed in words.

A magnificent shade of platinum inserted with scarlet moonlight that exists only in the 127th dimension, the beautiful hair falls down to the chest like gentle waves. Beautiful eyes that seem to suck the soul out, like rare pink-orange corals that exist only in the clearest ocean. A well-proportioned and well-balanced body that may even surpass the purebred elves of the highest level of the second dimension.

"What is this, Caspiel?"

"Have you found a physical form of a human? I am one of the slaves included in the loot sent by the second heavenly realm in the past. I am the leader of the slave envoy. She is Freya, the commander of one of the 22 armies of the gods of the former heavenly realm. Well, she was one of the many armies destroyed by her owner, but she is the only one who has awakened from a human to a goddess, and even to the second heavenly realm. Although she has been exposed to magic in the underworld for a long time and her hair has turned purple, she is the only one who can be downgraded to a human body by enduring about 12,000 nerfs. Take her physical form."

The goddess of beauty fell into contemplation at Caspiel's words.

"Ah, great owner of the 7th underworld, I beg for a peaceful extinction. Please."

"Who is this slave talking to?"

As Caspiel's gaze became deeper, Freya trembled even more, but she continued to speak with difficulty.

"Ah, even though I am a slave of the 7th underworld, I am adored as a deity in countless dimensions. There has never been a case where a single god has been nerfed for hundreds of millions of years. Please allow me a peaceful extinction. Great Demon King Caspiel, and owner of the 7th underworld."

The downgrade of the physical level, which means nerfing, signifies pain. Enduring severe pain that can only be experienced in the terror of hell more than 10,000 times and eventually losing one's physical body means the destruction of the soul.

"No, Caspiel, what I'm curious about is that it looks like a female form. Didn't I say I remember it being in the form of a 'man' when it was on Earth?"

Smack!

After pressing the goddess's face to the ground to silence her, Caspiel speaks.

"Master, there are no human-born demons in the 7th underworld. All the slaves of the 2nd heavenly realm also have female bodies. It is a natural phenomenon that creatures other than demons maintain their bodies in the underworld without decay by having a female form with negative qualities similar to the nature of the underworld's magical power."

"So there are no other male bodies?"

"No, there aren't."

"Hmm."

"How about going to Gorkathus first?"

"Oh, come on. Tentacles are a bit much."

"Then, first move to Freya's physical body, and when you reach the half-body state, you can transform into the human form you want. Although he may fall to the level of a human, he was a well-known figure, so he won't be worse than Gorkathus, and his training speed won't be in the same category as that dimension. Still, as it is a human body, you will have to overcome the 'barrier' about 8 times to use your power stably. Once you use your power, you can easily harvest and change human souls."

"I have no choice. Do it that way."

"Haha, then let me fix this guy a little."

"Please, I beg of you, great owner of the underworld, please!
