Chapter 4: Evolution
The rage that Milim felt after the kingdom of Sarion dared to kill her pet dragon was unimaginable. Her fury unleashed itself like an unstoppable storm, wiping the kingdom from existence in a brutal and destructive outburst. She destroyed everything, from buildings to people, her anger flooding the area with pure, unrelenting power. During this chaotic episode, Milim's powers surged to new heights, and she evolved into a Demon Lord.Her Ultimate Skill, Wrathful King Satanael, combined with its sub-skill Magicules Breeder Reactor, turned her rage into an infinite supply of magicules, pushing her further and further into a state of madness. This transformation, however, came with a heavy cost. The skill was unstable; as it filled Milim with immense power, it ate away at her sanity, leaving her increasingly feral and unpredictable.
Guy Crimson, the mediator, was immediately called into action. As a Demon Lord, he understood the danger Milim posed—not just to Sarion, but to the entire world. Her uncontrollable power had the potential to shatter the fabric of realityitself, and if left unchecked, she could destroy everything.
Meanwhile, Beerus was on his way to observe the situation. His mind raced with possibilities. He was eager to learn from this, to gather useful skills that he could potentially copy. As Raphael informed him, Milim's Magicules Breeder Reactor was a skill that could produce infinite magicules—an incredibly useful ability. Beerus knew that if he could obtain it, it would increase his own power exponentially.Landing far away from the battle, Beerus made sure to completely hide his aura. He kept a low profile, blending into the environment while watching the chaotic fight unfold before him. Velzard, the True Dragon of Ice, was doing her best to contain Milim's overwhelming magicules, erecting massive barriers to prevent the destructive energy from spreading too far. Ramiris, too, was involved, trying her best to manage the situation.
Raphael continued to feed Beerus information. Milim's Magicules Breeder Reactor is a skill that can be copied, Master. You could use this skill to produce your own infinite magicules, giving you an unimaginable amount of magical energy.Beerus nodded in agreement. "I'll make sure to get it," he muttered, focusing on the battle.
Days passed, with Milim not relenting in her destruction. Beerus grew more and more bored as he watched the endless cycle of conflict. Ramiris had no choice but to attempt to absorb the leaking magicules herself, fully aware of the damage it would do to her body. Beerus could have helped, but he refused to expose himself. He wasn't ready to reveal his power or make a move yet; he wanted to gather more information about the world's powerhouses, their politics, and the underlying currents of conflict that ran beneath the surface.After five long days of watching the destruction, Beerus grew tired of waiting and decided to retreat. He had gathered enough information for now, and it was time to experiment with his newfound powers. With one last look at the ongoing chaos, he turned and flew back toward the Labyrinth.
On the seventh day, Milim finally calmed down. The battle ended, and the Harvest Festival was announced. This would mark the beginning of the Demon Lord Council, consisting of Guy Crimson, Milim Nava, and Ramiris. However, even as peace settled in, Ramiris was still exhausted, both physically and mentally. She returned to Beerus a few days later, visibly worn out."Why didn't you help us?!" Ramiris yelled at Beerus. "You could've stopped it all, and you just sat there doing nothing!"
Beerus simply smirked. "I told you, I wasn't ready to expose myself yet. I need to be stronger and more informed before I make my move. I can't risk it."
Ramiris huffed but ultimately accepted his reasoning, knowing deep down that he had a point.
As years passed, Ramiris' power waned. The once-mighty Queen of the Fairies was now a shadow of her former self, shrinking in both power and size until she became a pixie. Beerus, on the other hand, had grown stronger, steadily getting closer to his goal of awakening as a Demon Lord.One day, Raphael informed Beerus that he was only ten monster souls away from completing the requirements for the Harvest Festival and evolving. The time had come. It was time to evolve in secret.
Beerus immediately began formulating a plan. He would need to find a secluded space where no one could discover his location during the process. Even if an announcement was made about his evolution, no one would be able to pinpoint his exact whereabouts. However, there was one exception—Ramiris.After discussing it with her, Beerus promised to become a Demon Lord and join the council in exchange for her silence about his evolution. Reluctantly, Ramiris agreed, knowing that Beerus' power would be a force to reckon with.
Beerus quickly set out, killing ten monsters in the surrounding forest. Once he returned to his hidden subspace, he instructed Raphael to begin the evolution process.
"Raphael, commence the evolution," Beerus ordered, his voice steady and confident.
The response was immediate and chaotic. Far across the icy continents, Guy Crimson heard the announcement, a smirk crossing his face. Another pawn? he thought. I can add him to my collection before Rudra gets his hands on him. However, Guy failed to comprehend just how far beyond his reach Beerus would be. He quickly attempted to pinpoint Beerus' location, but nothing came to him. No magicule fluctuations. No sign of the evolution taking place. It was as if Beerus had disappeared entirely.In the grand ice continent, Velzard, the True Dragon of Ice, dismissed it all. She felt no fear or urgency. To her, the Demon Lords were beneath her, mere pawns to be manipulated. She did not concern herself with this new development, certain that no being could rival her power. But as the days passed, a terrible surprise awaited her.
Back on the Eastern Continent, Rudra, sitting in his throne, also heard the announcement. He immediately dispatched his most trusted servants to locate the mysterious individual who had somehow gained access to the second key. This Beerus could be dangerous, he thought. His power was unknown, but Rudra would not let someone like that slip through his grasp. The kings and nobles across the continents were equally in disarray. The news that a new Demon Lord was about to rise, and potentially lay waste to entire kingdoms, caused a near-panic.
Security measures were heightened across the world as nations scrambled to safeguard themselves from this potential threat. The entire world came to a standstill, waiting with bated breath for the next move of this enigmatic new entity. Some prayed that they wouldn't become another target in Beerus' path, while others prepared for the worst.Meanwhile, in the quiet safety of the Labyrinth, Beerus lay in a deep, unconscious slumber—yet his consciousness was not entirely absent. He was in a state of flux, half aware, as the immense power of his evolution surged through his body. His body and mind were being transformed in ways that would make even the mightiest beings in the world tremble.
As the process unfolded, Raphael diligently worked to improve her own skills, evolving her powers along with Beerus. The Voice of the World announced once again: Commencing evolution. The body will be transformed. Acquiring new skills. Evolving ultimate skills...Beerus' Ultimate Skills began to evolve at a terrifying pace:
Execution King evolved to Destroyer Lord Shenron
Judgment King evolved to Armageddon Lord of Death
Greedy King Mammon evolved to Lord of the Void
But it didn't stop there. Raphael, ever the diligent advisor, sacrificed some of her unique skills to evolve herself into Athena, Lord of Wisdom, her wisdom reaching new, godly heights.Beerus' magicule capacity skyrocketed to levels that dwarfed even Veldora's immense power. He was no longer just a powerful being in the world; he was something far beyond it. His powers were so vast that they became incomprehensible to even the mightiest forces in the world.
As his transformation completed, the sky above the world grew dark, eclipsed by an otherworldly presence. The weather itself reacted violently: tornados, lightning, and storms raged across the continents. The very earth seemed to tremble beneath the weight of Beerus' ascension. It was a cataclysmic event the world had never seen before. The powerhouses of the world, from Demon Lords to True Dragons, were all shaken, unable to comprehend what was happening.For an entire month, Beerus remained in a deep slumber as his power stabilized and settled within him. It was a time of peace for him—but chaos for the rest of the world. Even Ramiris, who had remained by his side, received a gift from the Voice of the World due to their unique bond, though she remained unaware of just how great Beerus had become.
After a month of unprecedented weather and chaos, the world continued to search for the source of the upheaval, knowing it had to be tied to the unknown individual who had evolved into a Demon Lord. The mere thought of a new Demon Lord sent ripples through the world, forcing even the most powerful beings to take notice.Finally, Guy Crimson, unable to contain his curiosity and fear, called for a Walpurgis, a gathering of the Demon Lords. He knew that something was brewing—something that had the potential to alter the very balance of power in the world. He had to know who this Beerus was, and what he was planning.
The world held its breath, awaiting the moment when Beerus would finally emerge from his slumber.
