Anomaly: Birth of the Strangest Demon Lord

In a darker side of the universe, where very few stars had survived, there was a massive colony of creatures floating in space.

This colony belonged to the Ant Race. They were similar to the ants on Earth, except each ant was the size of a house.

These ants were moving around in large numbers, devouring several planets. As soon as they landed on the planet, they would start breaking it apart.

But what's surprising was that most of the planets they chose didn't have any life on them.

Suddenly, one of the ants received a certain signal that prompted him to stop.

"Prince, is there a problem?"

Many of the ants stopped their actions and moved toward a certain ant. Unlike most ants, this ant transformed into a humanoid creature.

This creature stood ten meters tall with a three-meter-wide body and a strange tail coming off its back.

This tail had six mini tails attached to it.

Prince looked at the other ants and said.

"I just got some news for Queen. The Demon Lord has infiltrated the Earth and has the power to shake the universe. The telepathic signal we just sensed must have come from this Demon Lord."

"Our Queen asked us to visit the Earth and find out the cause of this invasion. According to her, Earth still has Devil Destruction Formation, so we are not sure if this was the problem with the formation or the Demon Lord."

Hearing that, one of the ant soldiers asked.

"Prince, should devour Earth? That planet has been targeted by the Shadows for quite a long time."

The prince shook his head and said.

"We have no hatred against Earth. Even if we devour the planet, we should devour planets with no life. Besides, Queen also told me that we should have a private conversation with the Demon Lord."

At this moment, the ant colony was stunned. They began to raise their voices.

"Prince, Demon Lords are our enemies. How can we talk to him?"

"Queen must have made a mistake. The Demon Lord has only one mission. It is to devour our universe."

"Shut up! How can our Queen make a mistake like that? She must have a hidden agenda. Am I right, Prince?"

The Ant Prince didn't stop them from discussing. After a while, he nodded and said.

"Yes! Demon Lords are our enemies because they are trying to devour our universe. A moment ago, she sensed another dimension entering our universe. But except for merging with the Demon Lord, it didn't do anything."

"Not only that, the Demon Lord also managed to pass the Devil Destruction Formation, which shows his intention. He might not want to devour the universe. In that case, we can find the chance of ultimate evolution from him."

"Do you remember the Ultimate Evolution Experiment done by the Shadows?"

At this moment, one of the tall ants asked.

"Prince, are you talking about the Gene Restriction Project?"

Prince nodded.

"Coltinip brought a theory that the reason why we can't become the ultimate evolved is because our genes haven't broken a certain limit. Because of this, we can't achieve the final stage of evolution."

"So, he started locking the genes of other races that had the possibility of absorbing the cosmic energy. Humans were one of them. He did that experiment to prove his theory."

"But humans, except for their superpowers, didn't show any progress towards Ultimate Evolution. But, surprisingly, this clone of the Demon Lord was able to do that."

"He appeared on Earth in his human form. When the Demon Lord released his Telepathy, our Queen also did the same and tried reading his mind and the minds of other people on earth."

"From what she found, the Demon Lord is a bit erratic, but he hadn't shown any desire to devour the universe. More importantly, his clone body is one hundred percent human, down to its genetic level."

"That's why Queen believes that we might be able to find the secret in this journey. Let's go!"

Prince said and waved his hand.

A silver energy flowed out of his hand and entered the space-time fabric behind him. It slowly removed the panels of the space, creating a pathway through the space-time.

Prince took a step forward and entered the wormhole, followed by his colony of hundreds of thousands of ants.

This was the strength of the Ant Race, and it was just the tip of the iceberg. The true strength lay within the number of those princes.

.......

"Huh? Such a sharp mind. Is this fellow trying to read my mind?"

In the center of the cosmos, there was a massive creature, the size of a star, moving around the universe.

It was shaped like a turtle but with shells made out of the space-time fabric, and its arms and legs made out of stars.

While it was moving, a purple portal appeared in front of it, and another turtle came out.

Unlike the galaxy-shaped turtle, this one had a pink shell and was quite small.

Though it was still the size of a small planet.

"Patriarch, we just received some important information. Our universe has been invaded by the Demon Lord, and it is actively trying to read our minds."

The turtle lowered her head and spoke.

"I know. That fellow just tried to peek into my brain. Unfortunately, my brain is so heavy that I will find it hard to read. But don't worry! This Demon Lord has no ill intention."

"Not like the other Demon Lords."

Hearing that, the pink turtle asked.

"Then, should we do nothing?"

"No! Although he doesn't have any intention of harming our world, we still need to figure out his true intention. There can always be a box inside a box."

"Our race has survived for so long because of our cautious nature. We need to meet this Demon Lord, but our intention must be secret. We will not show any hostility towards him and the Planet Earth."

This response was the perfect response from the Patriarch of the Turtle Race.

The pink turtle couldn't help but show stars in his eyes as he heard his leader.

This was a perfect tactic for their race, and it was the tactic that had allowed them to survive for billions of years.

"Patriarch, who should we send this time?" The pink turtle asked.

"I heard your Daughter has reached Supreme Rank." The Patriarch asked.

The pink turtle was startled before it nodded its head.

"Since she has reached Supreme Rank, she should have the power to survive the disturbance in Space-Time. Tell her my decision and send her."

Patriarch of the Turtle Clan replied.

The pink turtle gave him a bow before opening a portal and entering it.

The Patriarch turned toward an energy coming his way and narrowed his eyes.

"It seems like this Demon Lord is much more powerful than I expected."

"Is it because he has become the Ultimate Creature?"

....

In another part of the cosmos, there was a strange space where time didn't flow, the stars didn't shine, and the nebula didn't form.

At this moment, a strong light appeared in front of those stars, and it transformed into a human being.

This being was none other than Alan, the Demon Lord.

"Yo!"

He waved his hand.

"Demon Lord, why have you come to visit me? I have already sent my children to your planet."

A dangerously high voice came from one of the stars. Unlike normal stars, this was a star with a true star shape.

It was the Mother and the Leader of the Starfish Race.

"Well, I have something to announce. I am going to start a game with your children and children of the other seven races."

"My clones should have reached there to inform them as well. So, I want you to play this game with me."

Alan spoke with a mysterious smile and a cheeky tone.

Hearing that, the Starfish shook, the space-time fabric trembled, but suddenly, it vanished.

"Nah! Nah! Nah! I can't allow you to do that."

Alan snapped his finger and formed an even stronger space-time fabric around Mother Starfish to bind her.

His other clones did the same and bound the leaders of the other races.

For God Race, and Shadow Race, there were a bit too many leaders.

"So, let's keep only one leader."

Alan said. In his hand, a katana appeared. He simply swept his katana horizontally.

In an instant, nearly fifteen Gods from the God Race and twenty-seven shadows from the Shadow Race got erased from the universe.

Though that only happened for a second before they reappeared.

"Demon Lord, don't think just because you can bind us, you can kill us at will. Our body exists beyond Space-Time. Just a mere eraser of Space-Time can't kill us."

When Alan heard that, his eyes lit up and he said.

"Wait, if I can't kill you like this, then what if I transform myself into a higher-dimensional being that exists outside your time and space, then do this?"

As he said, Alan moved his hand and started folding the literal space-time around them, before turning it into a ball.
