"When Earth Drove Out the Devil"
The Earth VS The Devil

For eons, humans believed they were the masters of Earth, but little did they know the land they called home had been shared by a guest—an unwelcome guest, the Devil himself.
Long before mankind's rise, the Devil lost his original dwelling in the infernal abyss. Stripped of his dominion, cast out by forces older than time, he wandered aimlessly until he found Earth—a vibrant, young world teeming with life. It wasn’t meant for him, but the planet’s warmth offered sanctuary. He was cunning, so he hid, entangling himself with the ambitions and flaws of men. The Devil learned to live unnoticed, whispering in the minds of kings and peasants, feeding off their greed, jealousy, and lust. In exchange for subtle influence, he avoided outright detection.
For centuries, mankind advanced, unaware of their invisible tenant. Every war, every betrayal, every spark of hatred was a brushstroke from his hidden hand. But as civilizations crumbled and new ones rose, the Devil’s hunger grew. He became bolder, more arrogant, and men began to suspect that something terrible lurked in the shadows of their greatest failures.
One day, the Devil's thirst for power crossed a line. In his arrogance, he manipulated a powerful emperor, forcing him to wage war that annihilated half the world. The devastation was so great, the skies were choked with ash for years, and rivers ran black with the blood of the innocent. The toll on humanity was so severe that, for the first time, men saw beyond the veil. They realized that this evil was not simply born of their own hearts, but rather something far darker, something they had been housing all along—the Devil.
Fueled by the collective fury of all mankind, the world rose in rebellion. This was no war of nations, no clash of armies, but a global uprising against an ancient evil that had overstayed its welcome. The shamans, the priests, the philosophers, and even the scientists—those who once stood at odds with each other—united to devise a way to expel the Devil. Each person knew that this was a battle not of flesh, but of spirit and mind.
The Devil, sensing that he had finally been revealed, unleashed his full fury. Nightmarish storms tore across continents, famine ravaged the lands, and the seas boiled as he prepared to make Earth his kingdom through force. He corrupted the minds of many, turning brother against brother, friend against friend, and yet, mankind did not falter.
In a final, desperate bid, the people of Earth called upon ancient powers buried deep within their own souls—the powers of unity, love, and hope. With one voice, one will, they cast the Devil out of his hiding place. A great battle raged between the Devil and mankind’s newfound force. For days, the world trembled as lightning cracked the sky, and the ground itself split apart. It seemed as if the Earth would be torn asunder.
But then, the Devil faltered. He had underestimated the strength of the human spirit. With one last unified cry, humanity drove him from the Earth. A great light erupted, swallowing the darkness as the Devil was banished to the farthest reaches of existence.
No one knew where he had gone. Some whispered he was cast into a void beyond time, others believed he had found another world to corrupt. But wherever he was sent, the Earth was rid of his poison.
In the aftermath, the world healed. The skies cleared, and the sun shone brighter than ever before. Nations, once divided by war, came together in peace. Mankind, having driven the Devil from their midst, learned the power of unity and compassion. They rebuilt their cities, stronger and kinder than before, and a new era of prosperity dawned.
Though the Devil’s ultimate fate remained unknown, one thing was certain: Earth was no longer his home, and without his dark influence, it thrived. Humanity had not only survived—they had become something greater.
A world, once tainted by unseen evil, now flourished in happiness and harmony. And so, with the Devil gone, Earth became what it was always meant to be: a sanctuary, not for darkness, but for light.
