Prologue, The Demon King Goes to Work 
Emerada used the Gate and already returned to the Demon Fortress in the Demon World, Lucifer and the others went to get her. Emi was around as well, she used from kind of out of this world speed when the Demon Fortress launched and flew up there). After a short while, Amane came and she brought Maou and fake Lucifer along with her(???????) Then the scene changed, Emerada and Emi chatted about somethings with regards to the human world. Then Emi took a book and passed it to Emerada, saying that this might be a new "weapon", then she said the lines from volume 1 "Even if the world changed and the planet shifts, I am still a Hero" Recaling the summit meeting from volume 20, they called about Chiho's achievements, then said that fake Urushihara was born because of this. It is June now. Changing the scene to Demon Fortress on Earth. Problem is, this is three years in the future after the Battle of Defeat God, Maou is still spending his days in Japan, going to work. 
End of Prologue
Chapter 1: Fallen Angel takes the inheritance 
After the end of volume 20, which is the time period after the Earth Sephirah took fake Urushihara and left, Maou is recuperating in bed in Room 201 after the kiss, Amane brought fake Lucifer to Room 201. Maou also identified him as Lucifer, the fake Lucifer introduced himself directly as one of the Sephirah, and is in fact Daath. He was born because of Chiho, of course. 
Amane showed some concern about Maou's sickness, fake Lucifer seemed to know why he's sick but did not say anything. Amane let Maou bring fake Lucifer back to Ente Isla. Maou asked him what his name was, fake Lucifer said he didn't have any and asked Maou to give him one, Maou then gave him the name Utsushihara (no kanji), then said that he looked too much like Lucifer, at least sweep his bangs in the other direction. Then Maou opened a Gate with his own power and returned to the Demon World, and once he replenished his demonic magic, he immediately felt better. 
The next day, the group went to the underground base in volume 17, when Lucifer went through that door which absorbed demonic magic, his hair became silver, but Lailah's hair was still purple, and recently Lailah's eyes would also occasionally turn purple. Lailah said it might be because she does not use demonic magic to maintain her life. Illustration of Lucifer and the fake Lucifer is included here. The other people were very wary of fake Lucifer, but the two daughters (Alas=Ramus and Acies?) were very calm. Lucifer was very irritated at this person who looked the same as him, but fake Lucifer was very calm, telling Maou and Emi that the people in this base can easily defeat Heaven, he also said that other than the inheritances, Lucifer was also a necessary element. Fake Lucifer, who was just born, claimed that he knew how to use the underground base and also said that Lucifer should also know as well. Lucifer said that all he remembered was that the five capsules belong to me. Fake Lucifer said that's right, this base does belong to you in the first place, the things hidden here is the true inheritance. 
The original plan of Maou and the others was to chase after Heaven following the orbital path using the Demon Fortress, but this was very dangerous. The legacies which they obtained were already placed in the capsules. Acies no longer ate without control after returning to Ente Isla, Kinanah also entered the capsule by himself, but there was not much reaction. Then fake Lucifer explained, when I took your appearance, I have already inherited your memories, and also the memories of the Sephirah, just listen to me. Lucifer could only enter the remaining capsule himself. 
The thing activated after Lucifer entered, sudden the floor started to descend. It turned out that the whole underground facility was an elevator. They descended to a facility which was a few dozen times larger, resembling that of an ecology bottle. Alas=Ramus and Acies said "that is us", but their meaning was unclear. Emi merged with Alas=Ramus and activated her power, then the floor started to shake, the others panicking, but Lailah and Gabriel were very calm, even feeling some relief. Then they saw the roots of the Tree of Life, it was removed by Sataniel in the past, because of that, only Yesod at the roots were shattered.
Returning to the original scene with Maou's point of view. Three years later he opened a Maou Pte Ltd, becoming his own chairman and started to run a business "Oyako (Parent and Child) Cafe, Yesod" Eifuku store 
Chapter 2 Demon King Army, Moves the Moon 
That day, the Church went to read the stars and discovered that the celestial star alignments have changed, of course this was because of what the Demon King Army was doing in the Demon World. When all those actions took place, Lucifer got serious motion sickness again, and it even triggered claustrophobia and fear of the dark, everyone asked him what was going on, so Lucifer told him what he remembered. First is the information regarding Sataniel in volume 15, using this as a base to fight against Heaven, but he lost the battle. The robots near the base were the attacking weapons sent by Heaven, but the Silver Arm clan in the south mostly belonged to Sataniel
Lucifer said that Ignora and the others feared the Sephirah's power, Sataniel felt that researching immortality might anger the Sephirah, so he stole the roots. The angels felt that Sataniel doing this was harming the Sephirah, so they opposed him. After the battle, Sataniel lost, and the "will" which he left Lucifer also disappeared. Then Lucifer asked Maou and Emi, why do you think the inheritence was left to me? I am unable to use that spear, the sword is not that good, why was it a must to leave it to me? 
The preview ends before Maou replied
