Demon lords 「魔王, maō」, also known as true demon lords 「真なる魔王, shin naru maō」 or awakened demon lords 「覚醒魔王, kakusei maō」, are a sort of special evolution or status available to monsters with the purpose of periodically culling mankind and keeping them in check.[1]
Demon lord seeds[]
Demon lord seed 「魔王種, maō shu」 refers to individuals who have met the necessary qualifications to be able to undergo the Harvest Festival and become demon lords. In terms of pure magicules alone, they are at least Special A, with an existence value of at least 200,000 being required as one of the qualifications. Another qualification is that the user must not be a recognized subordinate to another individual.
True demon lords[]
"True demon lord" — sometimes referred to as "awakened demon lord" — is a term created to distinguish the social status of those on the Demon Lord council from those who have undergone the Harvest Festival and become actual demon lords. They are beings of monstrous power; some even have the potential to stand on even footing with True Dragons.
Harvest Festival[]
The Harvest Festival 「魔王への進化, hābesuto fesutibaru」 is a phenomenon that occurs once all the requirements to become a demon lord have been met. In order to meet the base requirements, an individual has to fulfill certain conditions, at which point they become a demon lord seed. To become a full-fledged demon lord, they're required to "germinate the seed" using the equivalent of 10,000 human souls.
