The **Demon King's Four Dark Stars** (魔王四黒星, *Maō Shikokusei*?) are a group of four machines that are said to be a more advanced generation of Four Shining Stars. They are part of the crew of the Edens One.

## History

At some point, the Demon King's Four Dark Stars were created by the Demon King Ziggy, along with the Edens One before they went into space and waited for their creator's call for them at Granbell.

In Universe 1, the Four Dark Stars were presumably destroyed in an unknown disaster when Connor explained to Shiki and his friends that he lost his ship and crew and he was the only survivor. However, in Universe 2 the Edens One was not destroyed and the Four Dark Stars are alive onboard.
