Advent of the Demon King (魔王降臨 Maō Kōrin) is the 98th chapter of Hiro Mashima's Edens Zero.
While the Four Shining Stars save Blue Garden from certain destruction by the recently commandeered Satellite Blaze, Shiki's Overdrive bestows him with the full might of the Demon King to use against the mutated Drakken—and offers him a glance at Drakken's early memories, giving Shiki a newfound understanding of the Dark Alchemist's pursuit of eternal life.
Summary
Shiki blocks Drakken's punch
Shiki in his true Overdrive faces the mutated Drakken who prepares to attack him. Shiki holds back the punch and uses his power, pulling the ceiling and the floor toward him. Weisz remarks that this power is akin to a black hole. Meanwhile, the Shining Stars detect the high density Ether reading and assume that Shiki has achieved Overdrive. They then focus on the Satellite Blaze, but are shocked that it has a Protection Matrix. Witch suggests they use the main cannon, but Hermit points out they do not have even half the energy needed. Witch states that they will use their Ether to make up the different. Elswhere, Rebecca and Homura are still trapped in the tentacles. Rebecca calls for Happy, who assumes his Happy Blasters form, allowing Rebecca to free herself and Homura, continuing to destroy the tentacles. Rebecca notices the face calling for her to give her power, remarking how gross he is.
Shiki's Meteor Breaker
While Shiki manages to make Drakken's arm explode, the Shining Stars uses the Edens Zero's Star Bringer to blast the satellite apart. A flashback occurs, where a young Drakken is confused as to why the people of his planet only live until they are 15, much to the other children's annoyance. He runs off, knowing that people on other planets live for decades. He reads about Alchemy, wondering if he could change other people's life to his, wishing to not only live longer but also to make friends. Shiki responds to the young Drakken, telling him that he will be his friend. Drakken is shocked that the boy made his memories fall to him and concludes that his gravity pulled the memories of the others into this world. Shiki states that Drakken has lived long enough and that it is time for him to go to sleep. He attacks Drakken with Meteor Breaker, turning him back to normal.
