The announcement of Veldanava's submission happened years before Akio and his group officially arrived in the world.
Everyone including the dragons was beyond confused as after the announcement the person who Veldanava said he submitted to never made an appearance.
This led for most to think that the voice of the world was somehow mistaken or it was just a joke.
All except those of higher power who knew Veldanava wouldn't lie about such an event.
Velgrynd, Velzard, and Veldora had personally confirmed this with Veldanava themselves, and upon doing so they learned of Akio.
Veldanava told them he would appear sometime in the future but if he followed the deal he made with him he would start acting immediately.
And he was correct. Akio had manipulated fate all throughout the period from when he made the deal to when his group arrived.
(AN: I'm gonna say this one more time. AU elements and a lot of it. Not much is known about the period im writing about so I'm gonna write it, however, I want to. Some characters' backstories and personalities may be changed.)
Things continued as normal up until Milim's awakening as a demon lord.
Veldanava and Lucia were still left extremely weak after Milim's birth, and both ended up dying. Veldanava in his final moments made one last dragon that would be Milim's companion.
Guy was summoned to exterminate an enemy nation and on top of that as payment, he exterminated the summoner's country as well, sparking his evolution as a true demon lord.
At the same time, Milim also evolved after her pet dragon was killed by an attacking country. In her outrage, she destroyed that country and a little while later ended up fighting Guy, but was stopped soon after by Ramiris stepped in and stopped Milim but in the end, also evolved into a demon lord.
The difference this time however was that Ramiris strangely didn't require cycles of reincarnation and Milim's pet dragon strangely came back to life but not as corrupted.
After the fight, the three became acquainted and became the first three demon lords.
Guy and Rudra who was Lucia's brother became acquainted and ended up starting their war.
This however resulted in the True Dragons going against them.
The reason for this was that Guy and Rudra were effectively competing to rule the world something that already had a ruler.
Velzard, Veldora, and Velgrynd promised their death if they were to carry on with their plan. They above all respected their brother's wishes and knew that the being he talked about would do all he said he would.
In the end, Guy and Rudra were forced to stop their plans. However, because it was simply their nature demons and humans fought on their own accord without eithers intervention.
Later on Ruminas Valentine, Dino, and Dragule were born.
Exactly 20 years later is when Akio and his group officially arrived in the world. Upon their arrival, a small bit of Akio's aura was released as something of a sign. The sign did its job as everyone who felt it couldn't help but tremble for a second before going back to normal.
On the other hand, those like the true dragons and demon lords immediately traveled in the direction of the aura.
Upon arriving however they were stopped by what seemed to be a barrier. They tried countless methods but ultimately they could not break the barrier.
This was during the time that Akio's group was getting used to their new power. After they were done for the day however they all returned to Arcadio for the night and as such Akio finally released the barrier allowing himself to be met with the various beings who were floating above.
The instant the group recognized the barrier had dispersed they immediately lowered themselves to the ground before walking over.
As could be seen by the tense atmosphere they had their guards up ready to respond to anything.
Akio on the other hand stood perfectly still his hands in his pocket as he watched the group approach a little closer.
The one to walk ahead of everyone was a woman with white hair separated into pigtails and a yellow headband on top. She had deep blue eyes and a face that looked as if it would usually be morphed into a smile, although her current expression was that of caution and curiosity. Her attire consisted of a blue and white dress and similar colored boots as well as a blue necklace in the shape of a star.
"I presume you must be Akio Izumi, my brother has told me of your arrival." The woman Velzard spoke as she couldn't help but let her eyes roam all around him. She wasn't one to care for appearance as much but he was simply beyond logic.
"Yes, and you must be Velzard the second oldest," Akio spoke with a smile while turning his attention to the girl who was creeping up behind Velzard.

Another busty woman with azure blue hair tied into buns on both sides of her head. She has deep golden eyes that weren't so different from Akio's. She wore a dark-colored Chinese dress, white gloves, and white thigh-length boots. All through her outfit were golden lining.
"Velgrynd don't be rude introduce yourself." Velzard who was effectively the big sister of the group spoke in a reprimanding tone.
"Fufu, sister I was getting to that, my name is Velgrynd the 3rd oldest of us siblings. It's a pleasure." Velgrynd bowed, her tits bouncing with the movement.
"Pleasure," Akio nodded.
*Sigh*
"I have warned you before Veldora, watch how you act or I will kill you once more," Velzard spoke her voice somehow a mix of warmth and coldness.
"Ughh." Veldora who was still in his dragon form groaned remembering his sister's strict way in trying to 'educate' him.
"Velzard, you should really stop being so harsh to him it's just how he is," Velgrynd spoke in defense of her adorable younger brother.
Veldora meanwhile had with an uncaring tone like a moody teenager spoke. "Veldora, nice to meet you." Veldora truthfully was perhaps the most excited of everyone here. However, his sister's presence combined with his prideful nature didn't allow him to express that excitement.
Akio was about to greet Veldora but he was interrupted by a glowing golden sword slashing toward him at an incredible speed.
Just before the sword could make contact with him however it stopped in place.
Akio turned his head without any change in expression as he looked at the man with golden hair and red eyes staring at him as if he had killed everything he ever loved.
Akio was aware this would happen eventually.
Even if Veldanava died because of his own actions Manas: Lucia who was born from Justice King Michael was still set on taking over Rudra's body.
The reason for that lay in the announcement played by the voice of the world. Someone had forced Veldanava into submission.
At least, that is what she believed as Veldanava never told her anything different. After that announcement, she started to see Akio as the root of all evil and as such wanted to eradicate him. For this, she would try to take over Rudra's body to break free however Rudra would usually be able to suppress it.
It was different this time however as now Manas: Lucia had come into close contact with Akio and Rudra couldn't contain the outrage.
Akio sighed as he debated bringing the man back to life and punishing him for his negligence. All the while grabbing a hold of Rudra's possessed body and forcing memories into his brain.
Memories that Lucia was forced to see as well. Soon enough light had returned to Rudra's eyes as Lucia retreated back probably debating her life choices.
Rudra on the other hand was visibly confused as he now found himself being held by the neck.
That didn't last long however as soon he found himself back in his original position.
"Rudra Nam Ul Nasca, Guy Crimson, Milim Nava Gaia and Ramiris. It's nice to meet you my name is Akio Izumi or if you'd like your new God."
