Scene:
The Dima Kingdom is shown. It's around morning, clear sky, peaceful atmosphere.
Inside the palace hall —
The King of Dima, Dugu, the Oni ruler Mass, along with Oni God Kazama, Oni Goddess Ichan, Oni Disaster Iza, and the King of Adhan Kingdom Deku (Dentai Kuma) are standing.
Mass looks shocked.
Mass:
"I see… so you killed your own family…"
Deku:
"They weren't my family. But that doesn't matter, does it?"
Mass:
"Yeah… it doesn't. So why should I make a deal with you?"
Deku (smirking):
"Hm… hahaha… you see… I know you need an artifact."
Mass:
"!!" (shocked)
Deku:
"And I also know why you want it.
The Oni want revenge against the Ogres…
And you want to find the one who destroyed your village and killed your family."
Oni Gods:
"!!"
Kazama:
"How do you know that?!"
Deku (thinking):
It's not that hard… Oni were sealed by Ogres 1000 years ago. Now that they're free, revenge is obvious.
And about Mass… my spies already found his past.
Deku:
"And I also know who destroyed your village, Mass."
Mass (shocked):
"Who?! Just say the name!!"
Deku:
"Why should I give it to you for free?"
Mass (calmly):
"I see…"
Mass stares at Deku.
Mass:
"Fine. I won't deal with Dugu. I'll deal with you."
Ichan (stepping forward):
"But Lord Mass!"
Mass:
"Stop. If I don't find out who destroyed my village, these artifacts are meaningless."
Ichan (stepping back):
"…You're right."
Mass (thinking):
Once I get the name, I can still make the deal. I need those artifacts.
And even if Deku is strong, his undead army is nothing compared to mine.
Deku (laughing softly):
"Hehe… you know what?"
Mass:
"…?"
Deku:
"You think too much… which is good.
But in front of me, you're still children.
You're thinking you'll make the deal anyway after getting the name, right?"
Mass (shocked):
"How did you know that?!"
Iza (thinking):
Dentai Kuma has become way smarter in these 1000 years…
Deku:
"Let me tell you something…
Dugu… is already dead."
Everyone:
"!!"
Kazama:
"What are you saying?! He's right here!"
(Dugu is shown standing silently.)
Deku:
"Yes… but he's dead."
Mass:
"H-how?!"
Deku:
"I killed him years ago… then revived him with necromancy.
Right now, he's an undead with full consciousness.
He looks normal, acts normal, speaks, thinks…
But he's completely loyal to me."
Deku (continuing):
"So in short… the real King of Dima died long ago.
The current one is my undead, ruling this kingdom for me.
No one knows this except me."
(Dugu stands silently.)
Deku:
"He does whatever I say… and even acts on his own for my benefit."
Mass (shocked):
"So… the king we've trusted all this time… is actually your undead…?!"
Deku:
"Yes. Exactly."
Ichan (thinking):
How powerful has he become in 1000 years…? Or did he always have this power…?
Deku:
"So… let's make a deal.
I'll help you… and you help me. What do you say?"
Mass:
"Hm…"
Deku:
"And listen—betraying me means war.
And I don't want war here.
Fighting Oni Gods won't be easy…
And if other kingdoms find out, it'll be a big risk."
Ichan:
"Right. You can't defeat us."
Deku:
"I didn't say I can't defeat you… I said it won't be easy."
Mass:
"…You're right. So what do you want in return?"
Deku:
"As I said—help me, and I'll help you."
Iza:
"But what help do you need?"
Deku:
"You want revenge against the Ogres, right?
I'll give you artifacts… I'll even prepare the battlefield for you.
In return… help me rule the Main Land."
Everyone (shocked):
"!!"
Kazama:
"You want to rule the Main Land?! Are you serious?!"
Deku:
"Yes."
Mass:
"That's impossible!
You'll have to fight:
Naco Country's PM YatranshEluto Kingdom's King MitySecret Sky rulers Rental, Pluto, and ShantiCult Kingdom's Divine King Lin GeanEmpire's Emperor Takumi
And not just them—other kingdoms, armies, guilds, temples…
You're planning war against ALL of them?!"
Deku:
"Yes."
Mass:
"That's impossible!!"
Deku:
"Well… not for me.
I have the biggest army in the world.
Many kingdoms already under me—like Dima Kingdom and Land of Ashram.
And don't forget… my necromancy."
Kazama:
"You think you're the only necromancer in the world?"
Deku (confidently):
"No… there's only one other."
Kazama:
"Who?"
Deku:
"The Prince of Shin Kingdom… Precious Fiz."
(Scene briefly shows Precious traveling.)
Deku:
"I've killed many necromancers.
Those who had nothing special… I erased them.
Those who had special abilities… I took their bodies as vessels.
That's how I gained their powers."
Deku (smiling):
"But that kid… has something special too.
Maybe an aura-based undead ability…
I want that as well."
Mass:
"So you're saying… except that kid… all other necromancers are already dead… by your hands?"
Deku:
"…Yes." (nods)
Kazama:
"And no one came for revenge?"
Deku:
"I wiped out their entire families and territories.
No one is left to take revenge."
Kazama (shocked):
"I see…"
Iza (thinking, serious):
"He's even more dangerous than I imagined…"
