......

In a certain space within the Netherworld, an imitation of the of the Celestial Court unfolded.

Among the numerous ancient Japanese-style buildings, inside an inconspicuous palace...

Atop a pile of hay, a golden-haired monkey, about 80 centimeters tall, was feasting on bananas and peaches, one in each hand. Just as he swallowed a mouthful of peach, he froze.

"I sense the aura of a Godslayer approaching. Well, it has been a while since that... what was his name... Haru. Could he have found a way?"

The golden monkey looked expectantly at the palace gate. Had it been 300 years already? To be treated like a pet monkey here, as a God of War... this was the second time now. The last time was when he had been trapped beneath that bump-covered Buddha's Finger.

But he didn't harbor any resentment towards the Buddha. There was no point in resenting someone stronger. Defeat was defeat. He would just get stronger and take revenge later.

But towards the one who had imprisoned him here, the deceitful god who had tricked and bound him, he felt nothing but burning hatred. He longed to tear him limb from limb and devour his marrow.

But he couldn't.

The moment he was released and descended upon the earth, he would be consumed by madness, his true nature unleashed.

If he were set free, he would undoubtedly clash with those Devil Kings on Earth, fighting until he killed them all or was sent back to the realm of myth. There was no third option, no path for revenge or redemption. It was a bitter pill to swallow, but he had no choice.

"Forget it, as long as I can get out. I don't want to stay in this wretched place any longer."

He forcefully shoved the half-eaten peach and banana into his mouth, gulping them down in a single bite. He then turned his head slightly, his fiery golden eyes gazing at the three figures who had appeared before him.

"You're here. Oh ho, two Devil Kings at once."

Haru, holding the hands of Luo Hao and Toujou Miki, appeared in the palace where the Monkey God sat.

"Oh, it's you. I thought it was some other Devil King. By the way, what's your name?" The monkey scratched his head in frustration as he asked.

"To think that my name isn't etched in your memory. How unfortunate. Then, allow me to introduce myself once more. And then, you shall face death for the sin of forgetting." Luo Hao glared coldly at the monkey, her voice icy.

"Luo Hao. Leader of Holy Cult of the Five Mountains."

"Luo Hao, is it? I'll remember it this time. Now then..."

He glanced at Toujou Miki, then at the ceremonial sword she held, his eyes narrowing slightly. His fiery golden gaze shimmered, and within his pupils, the scene of the mortal world reflected.

A winged Serpent ( Leviathan ), its body pitch-black and covered in wounds, soared above the West Heaven Palace, circling relentlessly.

"Hahaha! The Serpent has manifested, the Miko of Calamity wields the ceremonial blade, all three elements are in place!" He grinned, laughing heartily.

Toujou Miki glanced at Haru, releasing her hand from his grasp. Her left hand tightened around the sword as she walked towards the monkey.
