Demon Lord's Reincarnation

The Loder Clan members who were watching the fight while drinking were amazed by the unbelievable fight that was happening before them. Each strike the two sides made caused destruction on a planetary level.

When ZiZ announced his true name and emitted the power of destruction the people from the Loder Clan felt an oppressive aura pushing them down. If it weren't for Mythious some of them might have actually fainted from that aura alone.

As the battle raged on the more dangerous it became, but the one unknown man fighting the Old God did not seem to have any difficulties. In fact, not only was the unknown man at ease while fighting an Old God he was even smiling a very vicious-looking smile.

That smiling face that grew wider and wider as the battle continued, the strength and skill to fight against an Old God one-on-one, not only that but he purposefully used a spell when the Old God used a spell, he used his fists and legs when the old God used his fists and legs. It was at that moment the image of a person appeared in the minds of the members of the Loder Clan.

...

After defeating the Old God Tanith who was outside the range of the defensive array of the planet spoke telepathically with Ren.

"You didn't need to fight that guy I could've easily dealt with him."

"I needed to move my physical body a bit since I've only been practicing in the soul realm."

"Of course, you're the only one who would treat fighting an Old God like it was a workout. So do you need me to go down there with you?"

"Nah, can you guard the area and deal with whoever God comes while I have my conversation with Cry's descendants."

"Fine, I will stay out here."

...

Mythious watched the entire fight with reverie, using the skills that your opponent was best at and winning over them. The only person he knew who could do such a thing was the reincarnation of the Strongest Mortal Soul Cry Loder.

The person coming towards him was surely the current reincarnation of the Strongest Mortal Soul. Nero was feeling a little nervous as he watched the unknown man who killed an Old God approach them. Even though Nero and the other clan members had a few guesses as to whom the other party was since they weren't absolutely sure yet they needed to be on guard.

"So how was the fight?" Mythious asked when Ren was close enough.

"It was a pretty good fight for a warm-up."

"Is that so... I guess only someone like you would think like that." Mythious shrugged his shoulders.

"So who are you exactly?" Nero finally asked the question they had been asking all this while without getting a proper answer.

"You already have an answer in your mind, don't you? Well, I guess I can spell it out for you since you really want to hear directly from me. I am the current reincarnation of the Strongest Mortal Soul, Ren."

When the Loder Clan members heard Ren's declaration they quickly knelt on one knee. Even though they already knew the moment they saw him fighting, it was very different when it was directly said.

"We welcome the Ancestor's return!"

...

While everyone was surrounding Ren causing a commotion one member of the Loder Clan separated from the group and headed back home. This was an elder of the Clan, Julius Loder.

Julius who was sweating a lot headed to the basement of his house where his workshop was located. After locking the door to his workshop and checking if there was nothing abnormal in his room Julius suddenly screamed in anger, pain, and fear.

"What the hell happened?! Everything was going as planned, the Old God came as expected and the clan should have fought tooth and nail against the Old God. In the last moment when all hope was lost, I would appear like a savior defeating the Old God and becoming the hero of the clan. I would have used the name of a hero to my advantage and replaced Nero as the new patriarch.

That was how everything was supposed to go!"

In his anger, Julius smashed the things around him and screamed in anger. Everything was supposed to be his, today was supposed to be a day of glory where he would get everything he wanted.

"Why did he who has been gone for so long appear today of all days?!"

Julius like all the members of the Loder Clan could not believe the return of the Ancestor. Even though Julius wanted to deny it, the battle he saw and that image of Ren fighting made it almost undeniable that he was the current reincarnation of their Ancestor.

"What should I do now? With the Ancestor here they might give control of the clan to him... No, based on the stories about the Ancestor and all the other reincarnations of the Strongest Mortal Soul he wouldn't want to take control. Yes, that means I still have a chance."

Julius became silent as he started thinking about what he could do in this situation. After a moment of thought he came up with an idea.

"That's right, this is an opportunity I can use. Hehehe, this is my chance to turn the tides!"

...

While Julius was readying his next move, as he predicted the people of the Loder Clan offered him full control of the Clan, but Ren rejected it.

"I don't need such a position, I just came here to gather forces. You guys just need to continue to gain more strength and when the final battle arrives I just want you guys to do your best and fight."

"As you command." Nero and the other members of the clan responded respectfully.

"How about me what should I do?" Mythious raised his hand while he was drinking at the side.

"You can do whatever you want," Ren responded nonchalantly.

"That's so cold, even though you're not Cry himself you should have some of his memories, right?"

"Sure, sure whatever you say."

While Mythious was bothering Ren, Julius arrived at the scene and suddenly shouted at the top of his voice.

"I request a duel against the patriarch Nero!"
