The chapter opens with the Demon King's group deciding to leave the injured hero behind, with Alex claiming he will handle the hero's punishment himself in twenty years. The Demon King then expresses his annoyance with the current 'order' of the world, questioning why humans who are so weak pose a threat, and his underling suggests that a major conflict would ensue if the Demon King himself were to be defeated on the surface, which would then force him to fight the heroes. The Demon King then states that this makes him want to break the rules in place, threatening to become an infamous Demon King who tries to stop the hero from rising in the first place.
