Also known as: The Sevenfold Crown of the End
Matthew, the Abyssal Demon King, had his throne shattered by a hero's sword. When he opened his eyes again, he had been reborn twenty years in the past, in the body of the Holy Light Church's most "devout" priest!
In his previous life, he had witnessed the feast in the sanctuary, where the cardinals devoured the souls of children. Faith? Nothing but a cover for their shame!
In this life, the hypocritical Holy Light, the rotten kingdom, and all its corrupted people will face retribution!
Clad in holy robes, he makes his moves one by one:
Greed, envy, pride, wrath, gluttony, lust, and sloth. They are the seven deadly sins, and the source of corruption.
The darkest diocese is the breeding ground for his plague. The grand holy city is the hunting ground for his schemes. The crimson robes of the newly crowned cardinal are his finery for bringing about the end of the world!
As the "Holy Father" stands atop the altar and fervent prayers ring out to the heavens... he smiles.
"Your hypocritical hymns will become the prelude to the world's end! I will personally send this filthy world into its final hour!"
See how a demon king in priestly robes, acting in the name of holiness, lays the final plan and claims the power to end the world!
See how humanity writes a sorrowful hymn through endless sacrifice. The cost is staggering, and the future is bleak, but at least they have won the right to struggle and crawl through the ashes.
