You'd think that Mikaros, a true blue hero, would be less dumb about hero potential.

I believe that Anne From Management is going to Kill the Hell out of Mikaros!!!

Also, that Helck is going to save his brother, and then Alicia, and then all the humans and demons and it's going to be good + happy.

Further speculation: the King is an AI from the ancient civilization who is rebelling against these idiots as hard as its programming allows it. The King's voice is mind controlling the humans, but Mikaros is the one telling the King what to say.

Additional speculation: the S+ rank, mysterious northern threat the demons are so scared of is another remnant of the ancient civilization that has straight up sci-fi tech and will probably get involved at some point.

I kind of agree with the AI speculation. It would make sense that the reason no attack made so far has been able to harm the King is because they're just a hologram or the like, when even Mikaros' teleportation isn't enough to let him escape Helck and Vamirio hurting him.

Also, count me in as among those who have no idea who this is attacking but I believe in Anne from Management.

It's probably Cless, brother of Helck, True Hero, and all around good dude. It's no surprise you don't recognise him though since last we saw of him he was a broken husk of a body powering one of Mikaros' spells (I can't remember which one).

I believe a couple of chapters ago Mikaros and Raphaed were talking about using him as a secret weapon against Helck.

There's another omake chapter up on Batoto. So why did they change Piuy's name to Piwi again, it just doesn't feel right after all this time.

piwi is apparently more accurate, plus it is supposed to rhyme with kiwi.

the kiwi thing was probably what prompted them to change it since people clearly had different ideas on how piuy was supposed to be pronounced. now we know for sure

I always pronounced Piuy as PYoooWee or something like that but Piwi seems more correct. Maybe if this gets an anime adaption we can finally learn the truth.

I'm guessing the katakana it's written with is pi + u + small i? I could see why someone might translate that as Piuy.

Still at least 2 (or 3, depending on whether you count 84 and 84-2 as separate chapters) more chapters.

Most recent chapter on the Ura Sunday site is 85.

Helck looks so happy to be having a brotherly quarrel. Please save your brother Helck. :ohdear:

I hope from this fight we finally end up discovering just what exactly Cless and the Demon King he killed talked about together. Since I don't think we ever found out in the big Helck Backstory flashback.

Ah okay then. Have we met the other two heavenly kings? I feel like this is another One Punch Man scenario where you think about it and realize 'Wow, this has all been happening over only like a month and a half.'

the other two heavenly kings are on the northern war front, which is apparently somehow extremely more dangerous than the human threat. there's also two guardians ranked above the heavenly kings, as well as the god emperor, who is presumably some kind of bitchin' rad dragon.

It's Demon Kings -> Heavenly Kings -> Guardian Kings -> Emperor Dragon. Shin is one of the Demon Kings. We haven't seen the Guardian Kings but they're implied to be the Emperor's personal body guards.
