Upon arriving the apocalyptic future, Kohtaro Minami encountered the Demon King, the ruler of a world left desolate by mankind's extinction.

During their meeting, the Demon King showcased his formidable power to Kohtaro. and proposed cooperation to govern the evolving world. However, Kotaro declined and this led to a confrontation involving the "Philosopher's Stone," where the ruler's strength, intensified by 30 years, surpassed Kotaro's abilities. Kotaro suspected the Demon King to be Nobuhiko Akizuki, recognizing him by the voice. Although the Demon King seemingly denied this and claimed that Kohtaro would inherit the throne if he were to die, hinting at the possibility of being a future version of Kohtaro himself. Before any further information could be elaborated, the Demon King ends up hurling Kohtaro back to the year 1995.
