Plot

For centuries, humanity has endured relentless oppression under the iron rule of their natural enemies, the demons. This dark era began when the powerful "Great Demon King" emerged, bringing devastation and chaos in his wake. Alongside him, 47 formidable "Demon Lords" took control of different regions of the world, each ruling with an iron fist, plunging the lands into fear and despair. Under their reign, humanity was reduced to little more than a subjugated race, struggling to survive under constant threat of extermination.

As the demonic forces tightened their grip, hope seemed to vanish. Villages were razed, cities fell into ruin, and the cries of the oppressed echoed across the lands. Yet, in the darkest moments, a spark of resistance began to form. From the shattered remnants of civilization, 47 extraordinary individuals were chosen from different parts of the world. These brave souls were named the "Heroes," each possessing remarkable abilities and the will to challenge the terrifying power of the demons.

This global coalition of Heroes was humanity’s last and only hope. Trained for years, they were entrusted with a monumental task: to face the Great Demon King and his vast army head-on, reclaiming their world from the forces of evil. However, the enormity of the challenge was daunting. The Great Demon King had ruled unchallenged for generations, his power seemingly insurmountable, and his army of Demon Lords undefeated in battle.

Now, the time has come. After years of preparation and countless sacrifices, the Heroes and their allies are ready to launch a desperate and unprecedented operation. This mission will determine the very survival of humanity. The future of mankind hangs by a thread, and the coming battle will either mark the dawn of a new era or the final chapter in the story of humanity. The fate of the world is at stake, and with it, the last flickers of hope.

The Heroes however prove to fail at their attempt, and instead the new plan is to summon humans from other worlds in order to help them. However, humans from all other worlds had the same idea as they are on the brink of extinction from their threats, this ultimately leads to the plan to try and bait the threats of each of the different worlds to fight each other and hopefully take each other out.
