"The time is near, the enemies are coming, it's time to gather the heroes," A majestic voice sounded at the empty but grand church.

"the heroes, lady saintess?" The person behind her voiced his question.

"Yes, I've received a new oracle-" The holy saintess suddenly stumbled and fell as she lost her balance.

"Lady Saintess!!!" The people behind her immediately tend her and support her.

"I'm fine, sir bishops. It's just, the scene I saw is too much for my current self to handle," The holy saintess said weakly.

"What did you see, lady saintess?" The bishop asked the holy saintess.

"A horrible scene. It couldn't be called a war, it's a ma.s.sacre. We need to gather all of the heroes as soon as possible, but there is also a man who is not a hero but essential for our survival," Said the holy saintess.

"Who is that man, lady saintess?" The bishop asked.

"He is-"

---Tarot Empire's Capital City---

Slime Oz is sitting at the meeting room Oz usually uses to hold a meeting with the other executives. The conference table in front of him is filled with doc.u.ments and maps that have some chess pieces on top of it.

"Hm..." Slime Oz mutters as he seems to be thinking something when he stares at the Ablux continent map.

"Something is not right..." (Slime Oz)

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Slime Oz tapped a chess piece as he stares at the map.

"I've sent scouts to all direction, but even though almost all of them encounters some demons on the expedition, there is no other gate founded. Where exactly they summon their gate at?" (Slime Oz)

"Most of them came from the far south, but then where do those demons from the far west and the far east came from?" (Slime Oz)

"Interesting... To be able to hinder my prediction is praiseworthy. The demons seem to have a wise strategist amongst them. But being smart is not enough," Slime Oz evilly smiled.

"I see... After thinking it through once more, it's not that hard, indeed... They're aiming to keep on making us wary by sending some demons from the west and east while they preparing something at the far south..." (Slime Oz)

"An army, no, a fortress... Looks like they're trying to make their own fortress. But it's fine, they're underestimating us, so let's make them think we don't realize and defeat them as we loot their demonic resources and take over their demonic fortress," (Slime Oz)

"About four or five months. Since the demons didn't have that much of resources, it's the worst scenario where they finished their construction, but if things went according to my prediction, then they won't even finish at one year, and at the time they're finished, the construction of the empire should be finished already," (Slime Oz)

"To make sure, let's sent them p.a.w.n undead soldiers that the undead summoner could summon daily, it will serve well as their training. Now the true problem lies in how to prevent the demons on advancing towards the humans," (Slime Oz)

"Circling them won't be effective, and the lich clone won't be coming back soon. Looks like every kingdom will need a longer patrol distance, let's use the goblin clone as the hidden boss in case of emergencies, that should enough for the matter of the demons," (Slime Oz)

Slime Oz observe the continent map once more.

"Hm... The attack on Potterland's army is a great success. Since they don't know the hidden force that supported Grandaria, they will stay on put for a while. Since Gracefield is conspiring with Potterland, they will get the information about the Potterland's crus.h.i.+ng defeat and will stay vigilant while watching over Grandaria from afar," (Slime Oz)

"There are no other countries that worth mentioning since they won't even know our existence. It's best if we stay hidden in the shadows until the empire's construction truly finished, it's kinda funny for a mighty empire that has formidable power but doesn't even have an imperial palace," Slime Oz said with a bitter smile.

"The orc clone is still gathering the other new races to join us, while the demon clone is having a very fun time as he already arrived at the 76th floor of the dungeon. I really hope I could dive into action too..." Slime Oz let out a heavy sigh.

"Well, it's an absolute order from the main body, after all, at least I could see their progress from afar," (Slime Oz)

**********************************************************************************

"What the h.e.l.l, Ren!!! Is that a demon!!!???" Albus shouted in panic.

"Shut up, fatty. Don't make such a fuss about it," (Oz)

"Impossible... That, I saw that demon before, Ren, how could this demon appear here!? This place should only able to summon an ent.i.ty that you've met before!" Seraphina muttered in fear.

"Hm? Magician, you bring some weak hero friends this time. They'll only hold you down, you know?" The demon emperor said with a tone that could be heard as if he's advising Oz.

"Do you have the memory of our previous battle?" Oz asked the demon emperor, ignoring the cold princess's question.

"Indeed... What a splendid battle that was... With such strength, you manage to fight me back and even hurt me splendidly. I always feel excited every time I remember that fight. Even though this is not my real body, I could still feel the excitement of that battle!" The demon emperor embraced himself like a pervert as he praised his and Oz's battle.

"As I remember, I'm not at this form when I'm fighting you, how could you recognize me?" Oz asked the demon emperor coldly.

"Everyone has a unique presence, And you have a presence that very much different from others. And one of the other sign is, that cursed arm, I'm the one who gave you that, how could I don't recognize you?" The demon emperor laughed as he pointed at Oz's cursed arm.

"Indeed, you do give me quite a lot of trouble you b.a.s.t.a.r.d," Oz grins but his eyes aren't.

"you're right, princess. He is what you think he is," (Oz)

"Impossible! He's the demon emperor!? How could you meet him!?" (Seraphina)

"""WHAT!?""" (Alfred, Sen, Peter, and Albus)

"Ren, you got cursed by that demon?" Edreale asked with a deadly expression. She's mad as Oz never told her such an important thing before.

"Um... I'll explain to you later, guys. Don't you think we should focus on the opponent before us first?" Oz said with a bitter smile, trying to change the topic.

"Indeed... I'm itching to fight... Even though you look weaker, but I believe you have some things under your sleeves, no?" (Demon Emperor)

"Of course, but I don't think it will actually work to you, though," (Oz)

"True... Even though my guts keep on telling me to flee, I think we do need to at least focus at the opponent first, at least we won't truly die if we die here," (Albus)

(Thanks, Albus!) (Oz)

"Ren, I'll kill you if you don't explain properly after this," Said Sen, but even though his words are cold, his expression is unusually showing a hint of fear and his hands trembled as he holds his sword.

Oz observes the others, and all of them are not that different. everyone is s.h.i.+vering just by sensing the tremendous dominating aura of the demon emperor.

"Don't afraid! Just like how the undead move without fear because they couldn't die! The opponent before us is the greatest enemy of humanity, no, the enemy of the world! You guys may think we're not the heroes, but even if we're not the heroes, does it mean we should just wair for the heroes to help us when we encounter an ent.i.ty as strong as this demon? Of course not! We need to have the strength to repel him ourselves," (Oz)

"Fear not! We won't die! I believe all of you could sense the overwhelming difference in power between us. But this experience is for us to learn that there are still some ent.i.ties that could kill us easily as flipping their hands! You guys are the ones who decided to follow me right!? That is enough to serve as a reason for you guys to train more, don't you guys agree!?" (Oz)

Oz's words cleared their minds. Even though they still feel some fear, they remember their goals on following Oz. They want to be stronger.

"Thanks, Ren. That cleared my mind," Peter express his grat.i.tude.

(Nonono, this should be the time you guys answered my motivation with "Yes! We agree!" you know?) (Oz)

"Nothing, even though I said all of that, I also couldn't imagine how we could win," (Oz)

"Then!" (Albus)

"Then we should just try our best, right?" Oz said with a broad smile.

(Well, at least they got motivated) (Oz)

"Ren... You're a battle maniac, huh," Said Edreale with her usual expression.

"Okay, that should enough, right? Since I'm going to start killing you guys," The demon emperor that had been creepily smiling all this time suddenly said.
