Primordial Soul's Rebirth

In normal cases, if a demon were to see someone with a bloodline higher than them, then the first thought they would have would be killing the said person.

There are some conditions before that, however.

Those conditions are that the said person has authority that is ranked lower than theirs, and the one who awakened that bloodline is not so strong that they won't be able to defeat him/her.

Above all, the difference in their bloodline shouldn't be colossal.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The demon generals, or the higher-ups of the demon empire, wouldn't sit still after that.

Even if the perpetrator of the murder was a duke of the empire or a general, the others would not let it slide.

That was the case for Alex.

He had a bloodline so highly ranked that just the mere presence of that bloodline was enough to bring the demons to their knees.

Yes, there was no way they would turn loyal just because of the bloodline, but at least they wouldn't show it upfront.

A Royal ranked bloodline, however, was incomparable to Alex's celestial incubus bloodline.

Every demon general had a royal-ranked bloodline; the same was true for the four guardian beasts.

If someone had royal ranked bloodline, it meant that they had the potential to get to the mythical 3 rank.

But only potential; nothing else.

It didn't give them immunity or something, and they could still be killed.

Yet, the only thing Alex could see in the eyes of the demon empire's higher-ups was appreciation and surprise.

The point that the one in question—the guy who seemed like a hidden gem to them—was the grandchild of the traitorous general wasn't even appearing in their minds.

That boy might as well just be the doom of the demon empire. He could turn as strong as his grandfather—who was also known as the flaming hound throughout the world—or stronger than him.

They were hellhounds, one of the few demon races that were famous for their unbelievable battle prowess.

Who knew what he would turn into if given the time?

Yet, the higher-ups of the demon empire—beings that bear the responsibility of protecting the demon empire—didn't seem to want to kill that guy; instead, they seemed to have the intention of grooming him.

Other than the demon generals and the ancestors, everyone seemed to be affected by the air of excitement.

'Sigh…'

Looking at all of this—the guy who was walking a store of bullshit and concept-breaking abilities—couldn't help but shake his head with a sigh.

'This is next-level bullshit.'

Alex let out an exasperated sigh.

He seemed to have forgotten that he had the ability to literally make the whole human race his slave.

If he were to kill Rohrg now, then the high-ranking demons would try to oppose him.

Alex's eyes sharpened as he thought about it.

But then he just shrugged inwardly, and his expression relaxed.

"Congratulations on awakening a royal-ranked bloodline."

Alex rested his palm on Rohrg's shoulder, and from everyone's perspective, it looked like Alex was not going to pursue whatever matter he was going to talk about.

The smile on his face looked like the one that a person would have if they were thrilled about something.

Even Rohrg, who thought of himself as an expert actor, felt the same.

All the disappointment he felt from his attempt to harm or maybe kill Alex under the pretense of not having control over his power.

But, in the end, he failed; that left him discontent, but hearing Alex's words, a new light started to shine in his eyes.

'He wouldn't want to offend so many people, after all.'

Rohrg smirked inwardly, now confident about his survival.

Just like Alex, he had seen the eyes of the demon nobles as well, but he was unsure about Alex's next move.

Now, however, things were different.

A smile started to form on his lips as he was about to bow his head to thank (taunt) Alex for 'helping' him achieve the bloodline.

But the next instant, unease gripped his heart, and the grip of Alex's hand on his shoulder tightened a bit.

His head, which was turned a bit downward, ready to bow, turned to look into Alex's eyes like an old junky machine.

'Ah…'

All of his confidence was drained the moment he saw the eyes of Alex—devoid of any emotions—staring at him.

Long gone was the thrilled smile on his face, replaced by an emotionless look as he looked deep into the poor guy's eyes.

"Now, could you tell me why you have this device on your body?"

Alex questioned Rohrg, his tone cold and eerie.

*Crack*

"Argh!"

Rohrg let out a pained groan as he felt his shoulder bones crack under Alex's hands.

His eyes trembled uncontrollably, unable to come up with words to justify his actions.

His purple eyes—the only thing that he could move as of now—looked around hurriedly, searching for anyone who could help him.

'H-He won't kill a general candidate, right…?'

He questioned himself again and again, but no matter how many times he did that, he only got a single answer when he tried to look into Alex's eyes.

Rohrg looked at the high-ranking demons, but all he saw was the shocked faces of the higher nobilities and the royals who were thinking of nurturing him.

'Fucking dammit, speak up now!'

All Rohrg could do was curse inwardly.

'You are epic plus rankers; at least snap out of the shock and do something!'

It had only been a moment since Alex had asked the question, but for epic rankers and above, that much time was enough to make a move.

The same moment, however, felt like forever to Rohrg as he stared at the faces of all those powerful people.

'What went wrong…?'

A question appeared in his mind.

'Were my thoughts of making the empire a better place wrong?'

'Me, who had seen the future and knew of the dangers ahead, would of course be able to rule this empire better than some random guy!'

'So, what did I do wrong?'

'I was given another chance for a reason!'

'I am special! I was supposed to be the emperor; I was supposed to be the demon lord!'

One after another, question after question, he kept going on.

Making the empire a better place? Man, he just wanted to be the one at the top.

That guy was calling Alex a random guy even after all that had happened till now, but what would you expect of a protagonist?

He did think that he was special, after all.

Just like any other protagonist, he thought that everything was his birthright or something.

But just then...

"No, my lord!"

A shout filled with disbelief was heard, and Rohrg's eyes brightened as he exclaimed inwardly.

'Yes, finally!'

His eyes turned to the source of the yell, wanting to look at the one who was the first to break out of their shock, but before he could...

*Boom*
