Chapter 124: Hell God (2/2)
Nevertheless, since they are demon kings, they are literally kings of demons in the Hidden World.
One such demon king is the current king of the Zacharath Kingdom.
And if one thinks about how powerful Lucifer is as he can just snap the life out of pretty much anyone in the Zacharath Kingdom, the power difference between demon kings and the Hell Gods is huge.
Well, there is a reason why they are only called kings and Hell Gods are called Hell Gods.
But still, there are also other positions in the hierarchy of demons that can rival the demon kings such as the demon lords and so on, but technically, demon kings and demon lords are the same, and since they are just about the same strength, they are called the 'demon kings' for generalization purposes.
Incidentally, there are also demon lords from Hell, and they are a lot stronger than the demon lords in the Hidden World.
And the so-called ancient demons are demons who could be considered to be between the Hell Gods and the demon kings.
However, since ancient demons are so rare and could be counted with two hands, it isn't really an official position or anything of the sort.
But from time to time, there are some ancient demons who are born among the demon kings since they are the demon kings.
Demon kings can live long enough to be recognized as ancient demons as long as they don't offend other demon kings, or especially, the Hell Gods.
However, even those are super rare since they have to live thousands of years to be recognized as one.
And usually, conflicts between the demon race and the angel race happen every century, so it is pretty rare for a demon king to become an ancient demon.
That was why ancient demons are considered to be more powerful than demon kings.
And now, Lucifer is basically saying that he is even more special than an ancient demon.
He is basically saying that he is more powerful than an ancient demon or anything of the sort, and that is...still reasonable.
There are ancient demons who could be said to be on a whole other level when compared to their fellow ancient demons.
However, those ancient demons are still ancient demons.
That was why it was confusing for Raya Pazier to hear that Lucifer is someone who is even more special than an ancient demon.
After all, even though Lucifer might be one of those strongest ancient demons, he is still an ancient demon.
Of course, this is just because Raya Pazier does not know that Lucifer is a Hell God.
No, it is just because it is impossible for her to think that Lucifer might be a Hell God.
Even though it is pretty easy to become an ancient demon, as one just needs to survive and age, though that might be harder because of the war between demons and angels, it is not easy to become a Hell God.
Hell, the methods to become a Hell God are not even known to the powerful demon kings.
Hell Gods are supreme beings. They are literally Gods. Even the most powerful ancient demon cannot fathom the power of the Hell Gods.
That is how powerful and special they are, and so, for Raya Pazier to be able to realize that Lucifer is a Hell God is just asking for too much.
Why? It was because it was just impossible for her to think like that.
That was how sacred the Hell Gods are.
Naturally, even for the other two demons, that was the case.
They couldn't even take a guess what might Lucifer's identity be.
That was why...after Raya Pazier said those words, they just waited patiently for Lucifer to say something.
After all, there might be a being stronger than an ancient demon and is not a Hell God, and they might just not know it.
They were still pretty young, after all. They do not know the ins and outs of the hierarchy of the demons.
However, when Lucifer spoke next, all of them got blown away.
”Well, you are right that there is no one else more special when it comes to ancient demons. However, you are also wrong in that. There is a being much more special than ancient demons, and that is a Hell God.”
”Right, I...am a Hell God.”
”My name is Lucifer, the Prince of Darkness.”
