The Demon Emperor Rule.
It was a truly complete rule.
However.
The Demon Emperor had only just begun to grasp the rule. He still had a long way to go before he could fully master the entire Demon Emperor Rule.
And during this time, Bakel had not devoured much more of the Demon Emperor's Rule than what the Demon Emperor had already mastered.
