Synopsis

Rifenhardt, a mage who came to see the inherent value and culture of other races, established the Antares Empire to protect them from human persecution. The 'heroes' view them as monsters and the empire as evil due to their non-human nature, leading to conflict. After being defeated, Rifenhardt uses a powerful artifact to rewind time. The chapter concludes with a confrontation in the new timeline, where 'heroes' seek to eliminate the 'demon king,' highlighting the deeply rooted prejudice towards non-humans.
