Years passed by with Argent still in the chaos dimension, battling the cryptids in a death brawl. With each passing moment he grew stronger in his own way, learning efficient methods to end a cryptid without much trouble.

In the cardinal world, a monumental moment was unraveling. A moment that would be etched into history forever.

Born as an absolute being, he had sway over other beings with his charisma.

The embodiment of Pride.

If he had grown like that, he could have been a being who would be called the king of the underworld.

But that position was taken by his fellow primordial, Argent.

Rouge at first saw his fellow primordials as lessers, but that changed after the rise of Argent. A being who defied common logic.

Following after Argent's footsteps, he as well yearned for absolute power. The power to dominate everything.

Whether it was a coincidence or an accident for a being such as he to be brought into the physical world, there was no way to confirm it now. But this was an event that will end up changing his fate significantly.

After arriving, he surveyed his surroundings. He understood immediately, that he had been summoned.

The man who looked like the magician who summoned him was annoyingly spewing prideful words.
His wish was to destroy the opposing country which his side was warring against.

That was a simple matter.

Using the wide range destruction magic 'death streak' without hesitation, he spread death easily.
Millions perished and cities of death were created. He felt nothing from what has been done. To him this was a natural occurrence and was irrelevant to him.

However there was one interesting change, he realised that he was awakening, having attained massive quantities of souls.

As a result he had succeeded in incarnating using a million corpses.

Even the drowsiness he felt for the first time was pleasant, and it was a pleasure to fight against it.

This event would be the birth of the world's first True Demon Lord.

It seemed, just reaping ten thousand human souls, was enough to reach ascension and he had becom a demon peer.

Even so his power was still less than ten percent of what he could wield in the underworld, but it was enough to become an unrivaled presence on earth.

He wondered with interest 'Then, what would happen if I collected even more souls?' He was curious.

There were some who were just perfect for the experiment, he wanted to 'repay' the person, who decided to give him such a 'chore'.

He returned to the first city and killed everyone in sight one by one. He refrained from using mass destruction spells so as not to involve the man he was after.

At this point he felt the screams of the dying being etched into his soul.

"Giiyaa!!" Screams like this were heard everywhere.

Hearing this, Rouge thought 'Yes perhaps that is a good name for me' The change that followed after was dramatic. Guy had evolved further.
He became a devil lord and regained all the power he had when he was in the underworld.
