Flashback — Tiamat
Within the depths of the Familiar Forest resided a legendary existence known throughout the world.
Tiamat.
The Chaos Karma Dragon.
Among the famed Five Great Dragon Kings, she was the only female and, by common consensus, the strongest among them.
In her true form, Tiamat appeared as a majestic Western Dragon covered in celestial-blue scales that shimmered beneath the light like countless sapphires. Her immense draconic body radiated an overwhelming pressure capable of making even powerful beings tremble in fear.
Long ago, she had chosen the Familiar Forest as her territory and made her home within the Underworld, living alongside the Devil race.
Despite her immense strength, Tiamat rarely involved herself in political affairs. Most of her days were spent peacefully guarding her territory and sleeping atop her ever-growing collection of treasures.
However, due to a debt she owed to Ajuka Beelzebub, she eventually accepted a position as an administrator and referee for Rating Games.
Whenever unusual circumstances arose or the systems created by Ajuka malfunctioned, Tiamat would personally intervene to resolve the situation.
Though many found it difficult to imagine such a terrifying Dragon handling administrative duties, very few dared to question her qualifications.
After all, she was Tiamat.
One of the strongest Dragons in existence.
As the Chaos Karma Dragon and the mightiest among the Five Great Dragon Kings, her power far surpassed that of ordinary Dragon-kind.
Even Ajuka Beelzebub and Shiva—the Hindu God of Destruction himself—acknowledged her strength.
Among Dragons, she stood second to none.
Her reputation was so fearsome that even Ddraig, the Red Dragon Emperor and one of the Heavenly Dragons, became noticeably cautious whenever Tiamat was genuinely angered.
Particularly when the subject involved her treasure hoard.
The incident in which one of her treasured possessions had been borrowed and lost during a battle against Albion remained infamous among Dragon-kind. The fury she displayed afterward was enough to leave even powerful Dragons unwilling to approach her.
Many believed that Tiamat possessed power firmly within the realm of Satan-Class beings.
A monster among monsters.
A calamity capable of standing alongside the strongest figures of the Three Factions.
For countless years, no Devil had ever succeeded in subduing her.
No one had managed to earn her acknowledgement.
No one had been capable of taming the proud Chaos Karma Dragon.
Until one man appeared.
The strongest Devil of the modern era.
The Primordial of Destruction.
The Crimson Satan.
Sirzechs Lucifer.
After a battle that shook the heavens and earth, Sirzechs defeated Tiamat and accomplished what many had once believed impossible.
The proud Chaos Karma Dragon acknowledged his strength.
And soon afterward, she joined his peerage.
Becoming one of the most powerful members of the Lucifer Peerage.
.....
The Familiar Forest was one of the most mysterious and dangerous regions connected to the Underworld.
Unlike the orderly territories governed by the great Devil Houses, this ancient woodland existed almost entirely outside the influence of civilization. It was a lawless domain where strength alone determined survival.
Towering trees that had stood since time immemorial stretched toward the heavens. Some rose hundreds of meters into the sky, their trunks thicker than castle walls and their roots sprawling across the land like the limbs of slumbering giants.
Beneath the forest floor flowed vast rivers of magical energy.
Invisible to ordinary eyes, these currents of power nourished the land and sustained countless magical beasts that had inhabited the forest since ancient times.
The result was a place overflowing with life.
And danger.
Many of the creatures dwelling within the Familiar Forest possessed strength comparable to High-Class Devils.
Others far exceeded that level.
The deeper one ventured into the forest, the more terrifying its inhabitants became.
Ancient monsters that had survived for centuries roamed the depths of the woodland, while powerful magical beasts claimed vast territories as their domains.
Even experienced Devils thought twice before entering the deeper regions alone.
At the very heart of the Familiar Forest lay a territory that few dared approach.
A place regarded with fear and reverence in equal measure.
The Domain of the Chaos Karma Dragon.
Tiamat.
One of the legendary Five Great Dragon Kings.
A being whose power stood near the pinnacle of the world.
Even among Dragons, a race naturally blessed with overwhelming strength, Tiamat occupied an exceptional position.
Her name alone was enough to command respect from powerful Devils, Gods, and Dragons alike.
At this moment, a massive crimson magic circle suddenly unfolded high above the forest canopy.
The intricate formation radiated immense magical power, illuminating the surrounding sky in shades of crimson and gold.
A figure stepped through it.
Sirzechs Lucifer.
The Crimson Satan.
The Strongest Devil.
His long crimson hair swayed gently behind him as emerald-green eyes calmly surveyed the vast landscape below.
The moment he appeared, the entire forest reacted.
The magical beasts inhabiting the surrounding area immediately sensed his presence.
Creatures that normally fought each other for territory lowered their heads instinctively.
Some fled deeper into the forest.
Others hid among the dense foliage.
Predators that stood at the top of their local food chains suddenly became prey in their own minds.
Even without intentionally releasing his aura, Sirzechs’ existence carried an overwhelming pressure that warned lesser creatures to stay away.
The laws of nature themselves seemed to acknowledge him as a superior being.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
With a single step, the space around him folded and distorted.
His figure vanished.
The scenery blurred.
Moments later, he reappeared dozens of kilometers deeper within the Familiar Forest.
As he continued his journey, the atmosphere gradually changed.
The lively sounds of wildlife began to disappear.
The distant cries of magical beasts faded into silence.
The deeper he traveled, the quieter the forest became.
Ancient trees older than some Devil bloodlines stood like colossal pillars supporting the heavens.
Luminous blue moss covered their roots and trunks, bathing the surroundings in an ethereal glow that gave the forest an almost dreamlike appearance.
It was beautiful.
And unnervingly silent.
Then he felt it.
A draconic aura.
Ancient.
Proud.
Wild.
An overwhelming pressure saturated the air itself.
It was not actively hostile, yet merely existing within its presence was enough to make ordinary beings tremble.
Ultimate-Class Devils would struggle to remain standing.
High-Class Devils might collapse outright.
It was the aura of a Dragon King.
The aura of Tiamat.
Sirzechs merely smiled.
Instead of slowing down, he continued forward with calm, steady steps.
Eventually, the forest opened before him.
The towering trees parted, revealing a vast clearing hidden deep within the heart of the Familiar Forest.
At its center rested a magnificent crystalline lake.
Its waters were so pure that they resembled a flawless mirror, perfectly reflecting the violet sky above.
The surrounding area was breathtakingly beautiful, possessing a serene elegance that contrasted sharply with the dangers lurking throughout the forest.
It felt less like a monster’s territory and more like a sacred sanctuary untouched by the passage of time.
And beside that lake stood a figure.
A woman.
Or rather—
A Dragon.
Tiamat.
One of the strongest beings in the world.
And the reason Sirzechs Lucifer had come to the Familiar Forest.
