(Before the Demon King Arciha Reincarnated)
Before Arciha reincarnated, there was a terrifying event that made Demon King Arciha the most feared being in all the entire universe. Even the Gods from all universes did not dare to attack the place where Arciha resided.
The incident in question was when someone most precious to Arciha was killed by a God while Arciha was traveling to another universe. Somehow, the cunning God managed to bypass the guards undetected and successfully killed that person.
When Arciha returned to his universe, his entire army was gripped by fear, with only one thought in the minds of his guards—death was awaiting them. (The reason Arciha did not detect the murder in his own universe was because if Arciha expanded his detection magic, it would cause the universe to be unable to withstand the immense power he released). Once Arciha found out that the person most valuable to him had been killed by an unknown God, he was consumed by overwhelming rage, and from that moment on, Demon King Arciha became the most feared creature in all the entire universe.
In a fury beyond all limits, Arciha uttered a magical incantation he had never used before: "Zofa ef da' Zofa 'faz A'rciha" ("everything is my everything, I am Arciha"). As Arciha spoke those words, every being—whether human, demon, fairy, beast, angel, or God—felt as if their universe was being held in someone's hand. What they were actually sensing was Arciha's magical aura. All entities capable of using magic were instantly overwhelmed by a desire to end their own lives. The thought that filled their minds was, "Why does this magic feel like an endless stream flowing through a bottomless abyss with no end in sight?"
For higher beings, including all Gods and other Demon Kings, they sensed something even more horrifying: "It feels like the entire universe is being gripped in a hand—no, this is impossible. It's as if the all entire universe is in the grasp of Demon King Arciha."
After a few seconds, the grip vanished instantly. It turned out that Arciha did this to locate the God who had murdered his cherished person. In less than a second, Arciha appeared before that God, and before a single word could be spoken, the God turned into dust. This incident was witnessed by other Gods in the same universe, who instantly felt paralyzed by the terrifying pressure. However, they were relieved when Arciha left after killing just that one God.
After the incident, news spread throughout all the entire universe about the brief display of Arciha's power. Since that event, no one dared challenge Arciha. The boredom of existence and the lingering sadness led him to seek what the future might hold. After a discussion in his castle, Arciha decided to travel 10,000 years into the future.
