Two hours later, Blood Flower burst into the main hall, her arms laden with dusty tomes and scrolls. Her usually composed demeanor was replaced by barely contained excitement and terror.
"Boss! I found something... something that changes everything we thought we knew!"
Jin Ho looked up from the intelligence reports he'd been reviewing. "What did you find?"
Blood Flower spread an ancient text across the table, its pages yellowed with age and covered in archaic symbols. "This is the Chronicle of Primordial Entities, hidden in the deepest vault of our archives. It's written in the old demon script, but I managed to translate the critical sections."
Seol Hwa-rin approached, her ice-blue eyes scanning the mysterious text. "Primordial Entities? I've never heard of such a classification."
"That's because this knowledge was deliberately buried," Blood Flower said, her voice trembling with the weight of her discovery. "Boss, according to this text, the Supreme Demon God... he's not the ultimate being we thought he was."
Jin Ho felt both demon lords stir with sudden attention within his consciousness.
『What does she mean?』 Blood Heaven Great Emperor's voice carried a note of concern.
"Explain," Jin Ho said aloud.
Blood Flower pointed to a particular passage, her finger tracing the ancient characters. "The Supreme Demon God is merely one of seven primordial entities that existed before the current universe was formed. Each represents a different philosophical extreme of existence."
"Seven?" Seol Hwa-rin's voice was barely a whisper.
"The Seven Primordial Entities," Blood Flower continued, reading from the text. "Supreme Demon God represents Existence Maximization—the belief that all reality should be unified into one absolute form. But there are six others."
She flipped to another page. "The Void Overlord represents Existence Elimination—the philosophy that all existence is meaningless suffering that should be returned to nothingness. The Time God controls temporal dominion, believing past, present, and future should become one eternal moment. The Space King seeks spatial control, wanting to eliminate all boundaries and create infinite space."
Jin Ho's blood ran cold. "And the other three?"
"The Fate Demon manipulates causality itself, believing free will is an illusion and everything should be predetermined. The Chaos Emperor spreads disorder, thinking that order is oppression and only complete chaos brings true freedom. Finally, the Creator Lord plans pure creation—believing the current universe is fundamentally flawed and needs to be completely recreated."
Thunder Lightning King's voice echoed with growing dread: 『Seven beings of such power... and we're just fragments of one of them?』
Blood Flower nodded grimly. "But here's the terrifying part—the text suggests that one of these entities is currently active and has been systematically working to corrupt reality itself."
"Which one?" Jin Ho asked, though he was beginning to suspect the answer.
"The Void Overlord," Blood Flower said, her voice barely above a whisper. "The entity that seeks to return all existence to nothingness. And according to this text, the dimensional corruption we're seeing—it's not random destruction."
Seol Hwa-rin leaned forward. "What do you mean?"
Blood Flower pointed to a particularly disturbing passage. "The Void Overlord doesn't simply destroy dimensions. It corrupts them, turning living beings into controllable void zombies while maintaining the dimensional structure. It's not seeking to end existence—it's seeking to control it by making it empty and meaningless."
『That's why the corrupted beings aren't dying』 Blood Heaven Great Emperor realized. 『They're being converted into tools』
"Exactly," Blood Flower confirmed. "And if this text is accurate, the Void Overlord has been planning this corruption for thousands of years, waiting for the right moment to strike."
Jin Ho felt the pieces of a cosmic puzzle clicking into place. "The right moment being...?"
"When the Supreme Demon God's fragments are close to reuniting," Blood Flower said. "Because if the Void Overlord can corrupt the reunion process..."
Thunder Lightning King finished the thought: 『Instead of the Supreme Demon God being reborn, something else entirely would be created. Something that serves the Void Overlord's purposes』
