Background and Society
On Blue Star, Devil-Humans emerged after the 2045 Catastrophe. They were mutated humans whose evolution produced powerful physiques and later restored human intelligence. Their bloodthirsty behavior made them sworn enemies of Evolutionists, and organizations such as Demon Awakening became major threats to humanity 29.
The wider Devil Race is a cosmic civilization with social structures, families, and reproduction comparable to humanity's. Upon reaching adulthood, its members are expected to leave behind Life Seeds before entering the battlefield. Their descendants inherit Perfect Genes and fully developed brain domains, making every child a natural warrior 160.
Devil Race society follows an uncompromising principle: the strong rule and the weak are prey. Its worlds are divided among tribes, clans, territories, and domains that largely govern themselves. Internal slaughter, territorial conflict, and personal combat are routine methods of advancement 160 860.
This decentralization produces formidable individual fighters but weakens the race's unity. The five great clans and their Devil Gods struggle to coordinate outside crises, particularly when no overwhelmingly powerful leader is present 670 1031.

Abilities & Skills
Body Way
The Devil Race is the foremost Body Way specialist among the Eight Cosmic Super Races. Its bodies possess exceptional malleability and long-term growth potential, allowing powerful members who attain indestructibility to contend with the Dark Race 311.
- Individual close-combat strength generally exceeds that of the Demon Race 332.
- Their physical bodies can be refined through the Way of Matter, Body Way, bloodlines, and Origin Energy 614.
- Their genetic perfection at Cosmic Rank enables strong compatibility between body and soul 311.
- Though physically powerful, they are less versatile than the Demon Race and less advanced technologically than humanity 160 332.
Battle Soul and Soul Burning
Devil Race warriors can drive their physical bodies beyond normal limits by using or burning their souls. At Dark Energy Rank and Superstar Rank, this combination of soul power and bodily enhancement becomes increasingly potent 311.
- Dark Energy Rank warriors can burn their souls to force out their ultimate combat strength 369.
- This willingness to self-destruct makes strong Devil Race members difficult to capture alive 369.
- The Way of Battle Soul can dramatically expand the body and amplify close-combat attacks 614.
- Their battlefield ethos favors death in combat over surrender or enslavement 369.
Devil Soul Burst
Devil Soul Burst is described as the Devil Race’s strongest physical enhancement ability. It forces the soul to its limit and unleashes the body’s greatest strength 363.
- Causes explosive physical expansion and a major rise in combat power 363.
- Resonates directly between the user’s soul and physical body 363.
- Its enhancement can shatter and reconstruct cells under the strain of the burst 363.
Devil Qi and Fiend Qi
Devil Race equipment and combat methods use Devil Qi and Devil Cores as power sources 224. Certain clans also wield Fiend Qi, an exclusive Energy Great Path capable of affecting both defenses and willpower 862.
- Fiend Qi can erode an opponent’s will and damage defenses 862.
- Dense Fiend Qi can serve as a barrier, trapping and confusing enemies while providing energy defense 862.
- Fiend Qi can conceal a user’s identity by altering their aura and outer body, allowing non-Devil Race infiltrators to pass Devil Race screening methods 863.
Equipment and Technology
- Devil Cores — A power source used alongside Devil Qi; fewer Devil Race members cultivate them because of their already powerful bodies 224 311.
- Devil Race Dark Energy Equipment — Constructed for the larger bodies and energy systems of Devil Race users 224.
- Cosmic Spaceships — The Devil Race is capable of producing and operating spacecraft, though it places less emphasis on technology than raw power 224.
- Battle axes, battle blades, and halberds — Common weapons among Devil Race battlefield combatants 311 614 863.
- Scale armor — Natural or equipment-based armor is a common defensive feature among Devil Race members 29 676.
Relationships

- Heavenly Race — The Devil Race was historically subordinate to the Heavenly Race, but resentment grew after the Heavenly Race sealed Jiang Jun and seized the Devil Race’s gains. Their relationship later deteriorated into direct warfare 891 973.

- Spirit Race — The Devil Race was accused of sheltering or cooperating with the Spirit Race, contributing to Heavenly Race pressure and later conflict. Several Devil Gods considered the accusations suspicious and potentially fabricated 937 973.
- Force Race — The Force Race did not directly target the Devil Race during its assault on the Heavenly Race, but its intervention shattered the Devil Race’s confidence and contributed to their retreat 1027.
- Black Dwarf Race — A vassal race valued for its technological ability, including spacecraft construction 332 536.
