Story
All demons, regardless of form, share the same origin. Their roots can be traced back to a single Demons. The Progenitor of all demons, it was a demon called the Origin Demon. Before the creation of the world, prior to the time when the sky and earth fused together and created the world, the Demon had already existed. A pitiful and lonely Demon. The Origin Demon existed outside of the Twisting Nether, ever since the Great Dark Beyond itself came to be, and that was where it spent most of its time in deep slumber. At some point, it noticed something besides itself and Chaos appearing. To be precise, for the first time, something came into existence amidst Chaos which would later be known as the Twisting Nether. From the chaotic vortex, it came forth and lingered around in space just to disappear soon after. It was like a bubble, and when it burst, it gave birth to the god of Night, the god of Shadow, the god of Order, the god of Life, the god of Light, the god of Day, and finally the god of Death. These gods were the first, the oldest, the purest, and the greatest of all their kind.

For the first time, the Origin Demon noticed the existence of others besides itself. It was astonished as it slowly woke from its slumber and watched as gods one by one was being born from Chaos. In turn, the first gods also noticed the Origin Demon. However, unlike them who was born from Chaos, the Origin Demon had been existing alongside Chaos, never to mix with one another. Thus, the gods only looked up at the Origin Demon and the Origin Demon looked back at them. The Origin Demon observed them for a long time. As time passed, the gods realized that no more of their kind were being born from Chaos and so they started to increase their number one by one.

For example, the god of the Life created elementals, each ruled over one aspect of the world such as spirit, fire, air, decay, earth, and water. They were called Elemental Lords and they would play a major role in shaping the world as we know it. However, as the number of gods began to increase, conflicts between them would often occur. The peaceful time was short lived like the gods allied with one another to destroy their opposition(s). Eventually, the chaos settled, and the gods began to create a whole new generation of gods who served as servants to their respective creator. Meanwhile, the universe continued to change for the better, the sky, the earth, time, and space were less hostile. Thus, these events laid down the foundation for Life to be created and with it, Destiny, Fate, and much more followed.

When various races of living beings began to live in the world that the gods created, the feelings within the Origin Demon gradually changed. While it continued to observe as the gods were surrounded by many friends alike, it loathed the feeling of loneliness because it was always alone, an isolated existence. The envy it held was endless. Because unlike the gods, the Origin Demon was unique, it could not create new demons the same way the gods did as it was an eternal existence that had existed since the beginning of time adrift in the center of the universe where Chaos resides."Why don’t I have brethren as they do? Why am I the only one of my kind that exists?"

It began to think so very hard. And after a long time of tormenting with itself, it came up with an idea. If it cannot produce new demons, then why not tear itself to pieces and create new ones? After which it would submerge the bodies into Chaos and each demon will develop a mind and soul that varies from one another. However, to do something to that extent would mean that it would lose its own mind in the process. However, it did not fear its own disappearance. The feelings of loneliness and envy towards the ‘neighboring’ gods dwarfed its own fear.

Then, the Origin Demon began immediately tore its wings, rived its tail, yanked out its fangs, severed wings, gouged out its eyes and continuously tore itself into countless smaller pieces. The gods received a great shock at the sudden action of the demon. After all, all they did was observe it from afar as they did not know of its intentions, it went without saying that the gods were very confused. Before long, after only focusing on shredding itself into smaller and smaller bits, the Demon could no longer shred itself any smaller.

The small bits and pieces of the Demon’s body, its bones, its blood, and its flesh began to mix with the neighboring Chaos. Then just as the Demon had hoped, before the eyes of the gods, from one of the shredded bits, a baby demon manifested and uttered its very first cry, then followed by the countless demons. The sight of witnessing countless demons different appearances further shocked the gods, and to prevent imbalance caused by the event, they parted the waters and lifted the skies. The world where bodies of water exist and the sky filled with countless stars was where the first demons set foot on.

From the Origin Demon’s blood, bones, and scales, countless thousands of demons were born and although they were all feeble compared to the Origin Demon, their power was comparable to the first and second generation of gods. That was not everything, however, from the largest fragments of the Origin Demon, four Ancient Demon gods were born, each possessed power far surpassing that of even the first generation gods.

And from the beating Heart and living Soul of the Origin Demon, even after its body was completely shredded, a demon whose power dominates all demons, the one who inherited the Origin Demon’s greatest strength along with all of its thoughts and desires were born. That demon possessed one head, one tail, rainbow eyes, one deformed arm, and white scales, ‘All that is One’ Ancient Divine Demon, its name is……
