As he was rolling across the floor, the hand of the Demon King of Incarceration dug a furrow in the ground. This made for quite the inelegant sight, but the Demon King of Incarceration didn’t feel any sense of embarrassment. Right now, the only thing he was feeling was praise for his foes who had managed to push him to such an extent.0

‘How impressive,’ Incarceration thought to himself.0

It wasn’t as though the Demon King had never thought the world was without even the slightest hope of survival. But then, what purpose was behind the Demon King of Incarceration’s current actions?0

It was all to see if Agaroth’s reincarnation, who had died in vain during his previous life, could return all the way to this point while single-handedly shouldering the burden of his fate as the Hero. By presenting him with such an ordeal, the Demon King wanted to see Eugene’s full might as a sort of test for him. And in his opinion, Eugene didn’t seem to be lacking in any way.0

To be honest, the Demon King of Incarceration was already satisfied with what he had seen. Eugene’s obsessive levels of determination and the insane focus he had shown, as well as the assault that they had launched at him with their full force — all of that had already surpassed the standards that the Demon King had previously set for them. 0

However, just like Eugene and his comrades refused to give up on their goals, the Demon King of Incarceration had no intention of simply giving in either. He wasn’t just going to roll over because he was satisfied with their strength. This was because, similar to Eugene's faith that their choice of action was the right one, the Demon King of Incarceration also believed that his choice was the only option. 0

‘But is that really the case?’ the Demon King suddenly thought to himself.0

He was reminded of the specter. The specter hadn’t known the whole truth of the matter, but he had been made aware of the constant cycle of Destruction as well as the fact that the Demon King of Incarceration possessed the ability to cross over to the next era. Even after learning these facts, the specter had still made his own choice of what to do.0

‘In the end, just like how he wanted to prove his worth by dying the way he did, I am no different,’ the Demon King thought as a smile crossed his blood-drenched lips.0
