Tensei Akuma no Saikyou Yuusha Ikusei Keikaku - Vol. 5 Ch. 22 - Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Army

Aren't the devils already dead creatures, how the hell is that cockroach demon gonna kill him; by reciting BIBLE?🤣

Though this is a fun power trip, I don't like the implication.
If one of the Demon generals went somewhere and did not return, it can be assumed he died and the killer is at the end of the summoning coordinates. They now know where Kakyuu is.
And given how the demon labyrinth is extremely tough that even the demon king had a tough time, the owner of said labyrinth dying indicate how powerful the Kakyuu is. From that, they can easily conclude that Kakyuu is the powerful being they are looking for from years ago.
I expect more harassment, kidnapping and traitorous stuff happening to Kakyuu and family from now on.

OH... I just realised my mistake... demons and devils are not the same race.

Kakyu is a completely different type of "demon", hmmm... I think the "hint" was at the beginning of the story, but it has been some time, and I forgot it.

He will turn bug bro into his subordinate.

One interesting thought the page with the black wings gave me is: What if people get the idea he indeed isn't a Demon... but a 'Fallen Angel'. Because the idea of he being something from another world wouldn't strike them.

You can say that he's an invasive species

 

[Beregorn]

"may I have your name?"
When dealing with devils, demons, fae or generic magical being, the correct answer is always "No, but you may call me [insert fake name prepared for the occasion]"

I think there must be a difference in power and authorities between demons and devils. The First Panel showed the devils fighting the Gods directly, but here demons fight against the humans.

Nope. He was originally a Japanese dude who died, went to Earth's hell, and spent two thousand years as a devil. At some point, he learned that all the hells of all worlds are interconnected (or something to that effect), so he escaped and made his way to this world.

2 1 thing:

• it was only 2 2000 years in hell (somehow the manga TL says 2 whole years in ch.1, went to check the novel, it was 2000 years in hell, sorry)
• he didn't learn the connection, he was sent there by mistake in a battle between Zeus and Satan, now it looks like he's being used as pawn for a bet between the gods.

I doubt it was an honest mistake. We got a scene of Zeus and Satan playing chess, or whatever it was, and watching and speculating on Kakyu's future actions and effect on that other world. They even wondered about the wisdom in Kakyu adopting Ars. It sounds more like they arranged that "accident" to have a bit of fun by watching reality TV.

So am I losing it? He wasn't originally from this worlds hell? I think it's time for a re-read.

MC is a DEVIL(Akuma in Japanese) from hell. These creatures are DEMONS(Youkai in Japanese) from this world. Translators often mess this up in English, but demon and devil are different words and sometimes used for different races in fantasy manga.

I'm glad we get to see Kakyu's demonic side again, it's been a little while since we saw his wicked grin and cackling.
