Reincarnation Monarch

One.

"Either God or the devil... well, I bet you do..."

With that said Gaius looked up to heaven and leaked a deep sigh.

"So... which one do you think Elle is?

"... well it would be the devil..."

When Elle answered like this after taking a little longer than usual, he disputed it without Gaius having intermittent hair.

"What's the basis for that? Because the devil is sealed in hell, so you can't get out on earth, can you? Isn't that the same in this underground world?

"Hmm. Exactly."

"Then the only thing that can come out is the devil's division, right? I've fought a top-of-the-line demon named Glasha-Laboras before, but I think he was stronger than Nagaraja, even though he was definitely strong, at a level with question marks."

"Sure... but not the gods..."

"So why can't you just say that?"

Gaius roughed up his voice and questioned Elle.

Then Elle returned an answer that Gaius would not have expected.

"That's... because the gods have remained hidden since that war a thousand years ago..."

Two.

"Stay hidden?... Does that mean it's been gone since the war?

Gaius asked Elle, peeling his surprised, not very big eyes.

But Elle was really calm and answered Gaius's question quietly.

"Bye. This millennium was a time when the gods were gone."

"... wait a minute! Where did the gods go?

"There's no way I know that. When we returned from hell after that war, the gods were nowhere to be found..."

"... couldn't you get in touch somehow?

"I've tried calling you many times... but it's always pear rubble"

"... there's no way he's dead, is there?

"I don't think so. If that's the case, the Hell's Boundary should be gone. Then the world should already be in the hands of the devils. But so far, that's not what's happening. That's why they're probably somewhere. We have no idea where it is..."

"... that thing... do the demons know?

"... well. I don't know if you realize..."

"Now you suddenly realize? After a thousand years, finally now?

"That's not what I'm saying. I may have noticed it from the beginning..."

"Since the beginning?... Right! Surely Elle said that before, didn't he? During the war, just a few moments later, when the gods suddenly disappeared and Elles panicked about it was forced into a terrific retreat, somehow none of the finest demons showed up again!

Elle nodded silently just heavily.

Gaius then exhaled one loud breath there and once calmed his mind, he uttered a truly astonishing imagination.

"I mean, aren't you saying that with the gods, the finest demons have also been absent for the last thousand years?
