The sudden appearance of a small Stuff Toy that scattered enormous amounts of magical power caused the Chimera swarm to cry out in alarm.

The original human soul that had been used as a medium to create the Chimera was consumed, and no proper intelligence remained, but the lower level demons and spirits that had become the material, albeit crazed, screamed at the appearance of the higher level demons.

To the Chimera, the rabbit Stuff Toy sticks out its club-shaped arm and beckoned it as if to challenge it.

[e??∮￢⊥???∞∬!!]

A swarm of scaled, giant frogs, tethered by tentacles, attacked the little Stuff Toy, who dodged their attacks and landed like an action star on the rubble a few meters away.

Laplace, the Great Demon. A demon who had the ability to see through time.

In terms of image, it would be easier to understand to say that it was the rabbit that lured the girl to the other world in [Alice in Wonderland].

Onza, whose characteristics were set by the Golden Demon, [Devil], was unable to fully demonstrate his abilities, as he still had strong human characteristics, and his power was limited to the level of a [Greater Demon].

The reason why Yurus.h.i.+a decided that Onza was Laplace was because he was able to understand even the thoughts of earthbound spirits, and used an ability similar to “reading the future” by reading the thoughts of the other party.

Onza changed into a Demon because he had sworn an oath to protect Yurus.h.i.+a, Yuzu, in her previous life, and he had acquired the characteristics of Laplace, further improving his ability to read ahead. Onza was too much of a “human” to live as a demon.

Demon = Evil. This was the common recognition of those who were predestined in all worlds.

In fact, demons were simply faithful to their desires and took great pleasure in devouring all life.

But demons, like spirits, were part of the world. They were also responsible for exterminating creatures that spread like pathogens throughout the world.

For the world, humans who multiply in number were the most damaging to it. That was why demons instinctively target humans, and humans hate demons.

Demons, with their great power, act most unrestrained, but they could be bound by a contract.

This was a restraining function to prevent demons, which were like white blood cells of the world, from devouring all the creatures in it, but only one free demon appeared among them who was not bound by anything.

She was not special. She simply had a free mind unbound by any demonic instincts.

Onza learned the meaning of her existence.

The concept of thinking that a Demon was evil was what had caused Onza to lose the freedom of the Demon within him.

Now that it was freed, Onza became a [Demon] in the truest sense of the word.

The Stuff Toy’s short limbs loosely a.s.sumed a kung-fu-like stance, and the golden crown, which was not there before, spun around.

[ゝe∞∬? ヾ∬∂? 〃〃∞〃?]

A group of Chimera Splits attacked. The knuckles of true iron in his hand punched a hole in Chimera’s torso, lightly brus.h.i.+ng aside the attack.

As a newly ascended [Arc Demon], Onza’s strength was not yet particularly high.

Even so, Onza’s strength was on par with that of ordinary Arc Demons, but even though this was his first battle, he was able to overpower the Chimera that Nia and Tina, who specialized in physical combat, were unable to defeat due to his Laplace’s ability.

The ability to foresee the future. Even a demon that could distort time and s.p.a.ce could not see the future. However, with the newly added crown, Onza was able to foresee the most probable future by calculating tens of thousands of possible futures at high speed based on past and present events.
