The Prime Demon

The Phobos

"*Did you think killing me would be enough for me to die?*"
— Lyos to Mechikabura

**Lyos** (リオス *Riosu*) is the **Demon King of Tyranny** and the most powerful Demon King known among the Demon Realms history.

## Concept & Creation

The original concept of Lyos is derived from a series known as **The Misfit of Demon King Academy**, **Anos Voldigoad.** He's also a combination of other famous characters from different series in terms of power and personality.

## Appearance

After his reincarnation, Lyos takes on the appearance of a toned, muscular man. His dark orange hair is styled upwards, with the tips somewhat tinged and two strands framing the sides of his head. He has several black tattoos on his upper body, including flame-like ones on his face, a black sun that covers much of his left pectoral, and a tribal design that runs down his left arm. For attire, he wears the same attire he wore 2,000 years ago.

## Personality

Lyos is the reincarnated man who was feared as the Demon King of Tyranny 2,000 years ago. He is resolute, stalwart, and invincible. His absolute power instills a veritable self-confidence that is only surpassed by his ego. Because of his overwhelming prowess, he harbors an attitude of constantly wanting to test strengths. Back then, he’s shown himself willing to go to great lengths in order to satiate his thirst for combat. For the sake of obtaining a formidable opponent, Lyos remains unconcerned about the well-being of those around him. Now he’s calmer and dons an unrivaled sense of perseverance when facing any challenge that may come his way. While Lyos is not inherently evil, his chaotic and sometimes ruthless methods when dealing with his enemies, earned him his title. While he originally never proclaimed himself as the Demon King, he has openly embraced it as the rest of the world views him as such. Those who oppose him, fear his power and are threatened by the mere fact that a single man possesses such power.

The legends of just his gaze striking fear into those who appear before him are not just a rumor either. Just using his demonic eyes to control others' actions is enough for some to go mentally insane.

## Biography

Pre-Dragon Ball, in his previous life, Lyos lived alone because the first generation of heroes killed his mother. It was something he could never forget, he originally was supposed to be appointed Demon King. He adapted to his power and the war between heroes and demons went on for decades, constant fighting and bloodshed. He earned his title as Demon King of Tyranny based on his influence, the heroes considered Lyos to be a threat to the universe. He eventually grew tired of the consistent fighting and decided to cease the war with an agreement. His subordinates were reluctant to agree but abided by such, however; the heroes decided to portray themselves abiding by the treaty only for them to assassinate the Demon King during the agreement ceremony.

In this new era, Lyos decided to take his own path by eliminating the heroes and demons. Declaring them to be “impudent fools”. He set off on his journey towards redemption now...

## Power

"*This is the battle I left unfinished two thousand years ago. I will bestow upon you the reason why I'm feared by all!*"
— Lyos to Mechikabura

As the Demon King of Tyranny, Lyos' full potential is difficult to calculate due to nobody being able to withstand even a fraction of his power. He's one of the only demons who are humanoid, though because of his demon physiology possesses unimaginable physical prowess (super speed, strength, and etc) and harbors 5 sources (hearts) augmenting his mental capabilities beyond supernatural levels. Because of his experience in war and battle, he's honed his skills and techniques and reached a point where he possesses an extraordinary amount of magic power that surpasses even the mightiest warriors in the universe. His power is so monumental, that it cannot be measured by normal means. Understanding different types of magic, even rivaling that of a God of Destruction in the art of Destruction. His potential is unchallenged to any other demon or minion, on top of his gargantuan personal power the root of where his magic comes from is far superior on others. Which could result in one's spell or magic power to go haywire and eventually lead to destruction. His prowess is even recognized by those transcendent beings.
