Three hundred years ago, after Hamel had died in the Demon King of Incarceration’s Castle, Babel, Vermouth was the one who had arranged his reincarnation into Eugene.0

However, Vermouth didn’t have anything to do with how Agaroth had been reincarnated as Hamel.2

“It was because Agaroth was the only choice,” Eugene softly muttered while looking out into the distant sea. “He may not have defeated the Demon King of Destruction, but he at least left his mark on the Demon King’s core. And unlike the other gods, he was able to hold the Demon King of Destruction back for several days.”7

Though there weren’t that many gods who had taken on the challenge of trying to stop the Demon King of Destruction, among the gods who had accepted that task, only Agaroth had managed to accomplish it.0

Of the Ancient Gods who hadn’t taken part in the war between the gods and the Demon Kings, there were several gods who possessed greater divine power than Agaroth. What made Agaroth so special was that, as befitting of his name as the God of War, Agaroth was unstoppable when it came to warfare.0

Eugene suddenly recalled, ‘Just now, Gavid Lindman said that he had managed to cut down Agaroth, didn’t he?’1

No matter what methods the Demon King of Incarceration may have used to recreate him, the Agaroth that Gavid had fought wasn’t the real thing. It was probably an illusion created by the Demon King of Incarceration based on what he had seen and remembered. If all of the God of War’s murderous intent and spite was removed from him, leaving him with only his skill in combat, it was inevitable for there to be differences from the real Agaroth.5

Agaroth was able to hold back the Demon King of Destruction for so long because of the said spite and murderous intent. In the first place, the strength and depth of his divine power hadn’t been of any use when facing the Demon King of Destruction.1

Before that final battle, Agaroth had heard the voices of his believers. He watched as everyone in his Divine Army died in front of his eyes. Then, to satisfy the last wishes of his Saintess Aria, he had...0
