Red sat upon his throne, crimson eyes glowing like twin lanterns in the darkness.
Red: "Well, well… tell me, humans. Why did you summon me?"
The High Humans stood before him with arrogant smirks. One of them, draped in a golden robe, stepped forward, while countless mages lay unconscious behind him.
High Human: "Demon, destroy the Eastern Empire for us. Do so, and we shall give you the souls of these mages… as well as a physical body to remain in this world."
His voice dripped with arrogance. Red's eyes narrowed.
Though summoned, Red lounged on his throne, having brought it with him.
Red: "In that case… I'll do it."
The High Humans exchanged smug looks.
So weak-looking… but if he destroys that empire, he'll make a fine servant, one of them thought as Red accepted the offered body and absorbed the mages' souls.
Teleporting to the countryside, Red looked around with a cold smirk.
Red: "Hahaha… finally, the material world. Now I can fight the strong beings that live here."
He shot into the sky, streaking across it like a red beam, cutting through the clouds at near light speed.
Within seconds, he arrived at the Eastern Empire.

Mo Change: (Who is this…? Such overwhelming aura—greater than even the Void Dragon.)
Seated upon his throne, Mo Change's eyes widened. Despite the centuries, his appearance had barely changed.
He teleported outside the nation. There, he saw a being with long crimson hair, crimson eyes, snow–white skin, clad in red and black robes.
Mo Change: (That… that's the level 65 being. What could someone like him want with us?)
Without hesitation, he bowed deeply.
Mo Change: "Great one, why have you come here?"
Red only smirked.
Red: "I'm here to destroy this nation. I've been ordered to erase you and your people."
Mo Change trembled—not for himself, but for his citizens.
Mo Change: "What? Who would give such an order? We have offended no higher being… we live peacefully. What have we done to deserve destruction?"
Red: "Don't tell me your story. I don't care. And I must fulfill my mission as a demon."
Left with no choice, Mo Change launched an attack. Red smirked.
Red: "You've got guts… attacking a level 65 being like me."
Red raised his hand. A gigantic energy hand formed in the sky, descending toward the Eastern Empire, large enough to engulf the entire capital. Mo Change gritted his teeth and unleashed his full power to intercept it.
Mo Change: "I will NOT let you destroy my nation!"
He rushed forward at light speed, but the overwhelming force threw him back down to the ground.
Citizens watched their emperor fall and panicked. Some ran, others rushed to aid him—but Red's attack struck.
BOOOOOOM!
The entire capital was swallowed by the blast. Red hovered above the destruction, smiling—until suddenly, his expression shifted.
Heavenly Dao:
{Notice: The individual "Red Primordial" has evolved into a True Demon Lord.}
Red looked around in shock before a cold smirk spread across his face.
Red: "I don't know what happened… but my power jumped from 65 to 90 instantly. So many new skills, too."
He landed in the ruins. Blood and shattered bodies lay everywhere. Red inhaled deeply.
Red: "Ahh… I like the smell of this blood."
He raised his hand.
Red: "From this moment onward, I am Red Primordial Demon—Lucifer, the Lord of Darkness."
Crimson light enveloped him.
Lucifer: "Kukuku… now come forth, my two servants."
Two demons appeared: the Primordial Green and Primordial Purple. Both wore maid outfits and kneeled.
Purple: "Lord Red-sama… why have you summoned us?"
Lucifer smirked.
Lucifer: "Call me Lucifer, Purple."
Both demons looked shocked.
Green: "Lord Red-sama has a name…? Who could have given it to you?"
Lucifer: "No one. I named myself. Now—go destroy that Western Continent. Those filthy humans dared command me."
Their eyes darkened. They vanished immediately.
Lucifer teleported to the Western Continent—already in ruins, bodies everywhere, flames devouring homes. He smiled.
He looked at his two servants.
Lucifer: "You two have served me for thousands of years, yet I never gave you names. Let me fix that."
Both knelt again, trembling with excitement.
Lucifer: "Purple—you shall be Nalith. Green—you are Sorya."
Crimson aura wrapped around them as they evolved. Nalith closed her fist, astonished.
Nalith: "My level… it rose from 30 to 40. This is the power of naming…"
Sorya, now level 35, also kneeled in gratitude.

At the Nova Nation, Subash stood in the hall, his eyes darkening. Everyone looked tense.
Kael'thar: "Subash-sama… the Eastern Empire's capital has been destroyed by an unknown entity with red hair."
Zarvex: "What?! The emperor wasn't weak at all!"
Kael'thar: "I know. But none survived."
The room fell silent—until the Heavenly Dao spoke again.
Heavenly Dao:
{Notice: The individual "Red" has evolved into a True Demon Lord.}
Everyone froze. Draven stood up.
Draven: "He evolved using the souls of the humans he slaughtered."
Subash looked at him sharply.
Subash: "You seem to know much about him. Explain."
Draven bowed.
Draven: "Yes, my lord. Red is one of the seven Primordial Demons—the strongest. Even without a name, his level was already 65. Now that he's evolved, he's even more terrifying."
The other Primordials nodded grimly, remembering how Red defeated them before battles even began.
Subash: "So he's a Primordial Demon. Then I have to take care of him myself. Activate the dimensional barrier. Chloe and I will face him."
Everyone nodded. Chloe smiled softly. Subash rose—Draven suddenly knelt.
Draven: "Subash-sama, please allow me to come."
Subash smiled.
Subash: "You may come."
With a snap of his fingers, Subash teleported them outside the Nova Nation. The dimensional barrier activated behind them as Subash and his team shot into the sky, heading toward the Western Continent—toward the overwhelming aura of Red.
