## Chapter
- number: 171
- release_date: 2025-03-07

### Summary
The narrative has plunged into a prolonged and emotionally charged flashback, revealing the tragic origins of the Demon King Cataclysm. This deep dive into the past follows a direct confrontation where a central antagonist, a corrupt leader, was killed, but his killer—seemingly a past version of the disciple Evan—is also mortally wounded. This flashback validates the Demon King's anti-human crusade by exposing that the entity was born from the very same human greed embodied by the world's corrupt leadership. The current chapter heavily focuses on the possessed Evan witnessing these events, yet reader commentary suggests he remains unchanged, his selfish obsession with Charlotte overriding the profound revelations about his demonic half. This intense focus on Evan's past and present psyche is proving divisive, with many readers expressing fatigue over the extended flashback and a desire to return to the present-day conflict between Charlotte, her protector Jeffrey, and her increasingly fractured disciples. The story is currently suspended in this critical moment of backstory, exploring the bitter irony of Evan's corruption while testing audience patience with its pacing.
