#### Graveyard of the Gods

The demon lords meet. It has been 500 years since their last meeting, but the Monkey King has returned. Cranius explains that before Monkey was imprisoned, the demons cowered at his name. Kimura arrives and reports that the Monkey King escaped with the Sacred Scroll of Immortality. Hagfish speaks out of term and Gorm tells him to mind his tounge. Gorm blames Kimura for allowing Monkey to escape. He asks Khan, Dreglon, Cranius, Mothrax, and Tsumori to bow before him, but they refuse. Demons have not unified under one leader since the Demon Queen Hakuru because it’s harder to cut off seven heads. Khan then orders that they send word out to find the Monkey King.

Mothrax infiltrates the Infinite Archive as a fly and eavesdrops on Tripitaka’s shoulder. She then reports her findings to General Khan, Dreglon, Cranius, Gorm, and Tsumori; how the Monkey King is searching for the Sacred Scroll of Knowledge. Cranius asks that the demon council grant him the permission to claim the scroll. As Khan and Dreglon fight over dominance, Cranius prepares to leave for the archive.
