Eden Fall

POV Crusch
Something terrible will happen soon. Those foolish humans will begin the summoning ceremony for people from another world in the Verdantia Empire.
People from other worlds generally always bring terrifying power. Even at their highest potential, they are declared equivalent to the Apocalypse because they can change or even destroy the history and entire timeline of this world.
Then, those who reach that stage are called the Pillars of Destruction.
The Chronos Sword, Beast Ancestor, Voidborne Catalyst, The Fatescraper, Epoch Breaker. In this world, there are already five Pillars of Destruction that have appeared and have been dealt with or sealed.
That is natural, because we [Demon Lords] still struggle to kill them completely.
This is all because the Pillars of Destruction can still maintain their own existence through their will alone, even after their entire existence and history have been erased from this world.
As long as they still have the will to live, they will continue to live forever.
Therefore, the most possible thing to do is to seal them, and wait until they no longer have the will to maintain their own existence.
Because as time passes, their will to maintain their existence will begin to erode and fade, and eventually they will reject their own existence.
After that, their existence will be completely erased from this world, with no one remembering them.
That is why I will not let them come to this world. At least, I will kill them before they become a threat to the world and disrupt the balance.
"Which of you has the [Heroes] Class?"
When Veigas mentioned [Heroes], I began to remember my battle with the Black Heroes.
It seems I can trust Veigas to search for the owner of the [Heroes] Class. Because after all, his ability to see everything down to the most basic information level of a person is very suitable for this.
Veigas walked toward one of the humans. That lowly human's legs immediately trembled so violently that I wanted to break them.
Veigas took his final step and when he stood before that human, the lowly creature immediately collapsed helplessly.
The pressure from Veigas's presence in front of him made him terrified and insane.
I became very certain that these humans are just weak creatures.
If Veigas could use his true abilities, his presence alone would surely be enough to destroy the entire body and soul of everyone in this empire.
Cold sweat soaked the entire body of that lowly creature. So disgusting. He tried to silence himself by biting his tongue, but Veigas immediately strangled him and lifted him up.
"Say it quickly!"
Thick red liquid began flowing from all the holes in his face like ears, mouth, nose, and eyes. Veigas must be using corrosion on him.
Then, that human tried to raise his hand with the remaining strength he had and pointed in one direction.
His index finger pointed at a boy wearing glasses with straight black hair and a nerdy appearance.
"So, that boy is the [Heroes], huh? Sasha!"
Sasha immediately closed the distance between herself and that boy.
Now Sasha stood right in front of him. Their eyes met, and Sasha's eyes turned black like endless darkness.
That was [Mind Break], an ability that can destroy someone's mind and soul.
Initially the boy looked frightened, but he wasn't affected by the effect of [Mind Break].
Was that because of [Supremacy]? No, he shouldn't be able to use that ability yet. The most reasonable possibility I can think of right now is that it's [Lion Heart] which can resist negative effects on the user's mind and soul.
But on the other hand, Sasha wasn't surprised. She already knew that such attacks wouldn't work on someone with the [Heroes] Class.
"W-What do you want?" asked that nerdy hero.
Sasha moved her mouth and the word that came out of her mouth was,
"Die!"
Suddenly, a golden barrier surrounded him, protecting him from death.
That was one of the effects of [Supremacy]!
Then, a black-robed man came from the sky, slashing his sword toward Sasha.
A golden Ether slash moved at the speed of light toward Sasha, making her dodge and move away from that boy.
Smoke covered the entire vision of everyone in the great hall. When the smoke began to disappear, a black-haired man wearing all black clothes with golden eyes that glowed very prominently could be seen.
One of the seven humans who possess the [Heroes] Attributes, he is the Black Heroes, Reival!
"I came here to kill you, Demon Lord of Death."
"Too bad, you're too late."
It seems I can't stay in this place much longer.
[Violation is being imposed]
[Your existence has been rejected by Etherea]
[Ancient Gods are watching you!]
I don't care!
I immediately imposed my [Demon Lord] Domain on this place, rewriting the laws and phenomena that occur here. Space and time were immediately distorted and the law of causality was changed. Those who cannot resist this law will not be able to move due to the difference in the cause and effect system.
All the corpses of those summoned people sank into a sea of blood, and a loud rumbling sound was heard that shook this entire place.
This is the end of all life here.
Death to all creation.
"W-What is that!"
"What's happening now?! What else will appear?!"
"I can't take it anymore! I want to go home!"
"Mama! Help me!"
Fear and fall into despair.
This place has lost the concept of moment because time is not allowed to move.
A loud sound was heard.
Everyone was startled and looked toward the source of the sound, but they wouldn't find where the source of that sound was. A giant tree grew from the floor, spreading its large and lush branches throughout the place.
The knight troops prepared with their shields and swords, but they wouldn't be able to protect anything.
"[Eden's Fall: Infernal Arbor]!"
I finally finished imposing my Domain on this place and summoned the Demon tree. Its trunk looked like it was made of hard black iron, with thorny leaves that glowed red. The piercing aroma of death filled the entire room. Everyone was shocked and terrified, while all the Lesser Demons were mesmerized by the beauty of the tree.
None of them could move now, except for the Demons, my servants, me, and the Black Heroes alone.
Besides them, everything had completely stopped.
After a while, the ground around the Demon tree began to shake. From within the ground emerged several giant roots that spread throughout this place, destroying and tearing apart the weak-looking floor. The series of roots finally merged into a terrifying large Great Demon face, with glowing red eyes and frightening sharp teeth.
"This is the beginning of a new era, an era of chaos, and I will start this era of chaos with the death of two owners of the [Heroes] Class."
