The Demon Lords VS. Robots ( () (おう) VS.ロボット Maō VS. Robotto?) is the 29th chapter of the Versus manga series.

Summary

Part 1

At Roya Roach's castle, her children defeat the third wave of robots and as they celebrate, Roya Roach warns that a fourth wave is coming, and the children prepare for it. Nyudo calls her and warns her of the danger, but she has already realized it, saying that a particular robot was targeting her, and they sent three of them (the first was easily destroyed, the second survived a blow, and the third was forced to be destroyed by a technique). The fourth then emerges from the ground but was easily dodged. The robot uses a shield, but is kicked too far away and Roya Roach goes to fight in the open. She then tells Nyudo to speak quickly, and they talk about sharing information with each other. They see that the robot does not have a scratch on the shield as Roya Roach begins to fight it.

The robot uses a fighting technique similar to Jachi's at full speed, and Roya Roach sees that it is better than the previous three, and is just testing her out. It launches itself towards Roya Roach, but it was a feint, and she blocks it, losing her arm in the process. She grabs it and re-attaches it as the robot propels past her and proceeds to get rid of its chest armor. Roya Roach then asks what they are, wondering if Nyudo knows something she doesn't. He answers that they are robots and they analyze and share information to adapt quickly. Further, he says that Jachi is fighting against one and right now. Roya Roach then complains that it is impossible for robots to overwhelm demon lords through simple adaption and Nyudo leaves.

Returning to Jachi, Nyudo tells him that he should not have destroyed it and Jachi tells him to shut up. Nyudo explains that the stronger the enemy, the stronger they become and tells him that Roya Roach is fighting against one of them. Jachi initially does not believe him, and responds that they should be stronger than them when a robot that resembles Roya Roach appears. As Jachi now believes Nyudo, he tells him to be careful since these robots were designed to massacre any form of life, but this unit created after the worlds merged, are a unit specialized in the elimination of natural enemies. Jachi easily destroys it, however, and questions whether it will actually kill them.

Back with Roya Roach, she barely dodges the robot's propulsion punches and is exploded from behind by an aerial bomb. Then, she punches it again, shattering its body and head. However, her right arm is broken again and several bombs explode. The robot receives another arm and Roya Roach uses her Double Shadow Release, in which they coordinate at full speed to destroy it.

After finishing, she leaves and at high speed destroys the robot and goes to help her children and change clothes. She notices that there is silence and sees that her army has been destroyed. One of her dying children says they can't take it anymore, and the fifth wave arrives. Then Roya Roach gets angry and uses her "Black Diamond Formation" burst.

Part 2

It starts in Robot Factory Number Five with Jachi seeing the robot specialized in the elimination of natural enemies. Nyudo sees that it is a little different from the previous one and is the seventh such version he's seen. He notes that they share characteristics of who they've fought and seeing that they should have collected the data of the children of Roya Roach, it may be a bad matchup for Jachi. Jachi, however, says that he will win since he is a demon lord. He then throws a punch from a distance but the robot dodges it and uses a mimicry function with magical attacks of lightning and ice that do not affect Jachi. Unimpressed, he asks to see all its power, to which the robot rushes with a headbutt attack that does no damage. Jachi notices that they are commander attacks before the robot uses a very familiar attack, one belonging to Kiva. Angrily, Jachi grabs him by the head when he sees that they imitated Kiva, then threatens it and uses his release to slam him to the ground, take the factory along with him, destroying it. Jachi then waits for another robot to appear but Nyudo tells him that they will not come again since he destroyed the factory completely. Jachi says that there will be more factories and that he does not flinch at that level and Nyudo goes to see Roya Roach. Jachi, angry because Nyudo only wants to reveal the information that suits him, then summons his cloak to him and continues his search for Hallow.

Back at Roya, she is shown having just defeated wave 5 when wave 6 arrives. Nyudo then appears and, impressed, tells her that if they destroy the robot factory they will stop appearing. Roya Roach then proceeds to get ready to do so, but Nyudo tells her that in her condition she will likely fail. He then proceeds to offer to help her but she gets angry, proclaiming it isn't needed. However, Nyudo opens a portal anyway and, taking out his hand, shoots magic projectiles to test them, becoming interested in them. They put up a shield and he has to put a little force into it to destroy them. A specialized robot then appears, absorbing the attack and lunging at Roya. It proceeds to take out 8 orbs from its back and use them to imitate Roya's release, shocking her. She becomes angry at being mocked and, unleashing her release, destroys the holograms. Exhausted, she shouts that she won when the robot reemerges from the rubble. Roya Roach is afraid, realizing that it had tricked her into exhausting her mana and she won't be able to recover, as the robot gathers magical energy for its final attack which obliterates her. Nyudo notes that the demon lords have become arrogant after reigning for so long, and their ability to detect danger has diminished. After many centuries, their time at the top is no longer.

The robot's core is destroyed when it uses the attack and Nyudo applauds it for imitating his attack and asks its name. The robot uses tactics to attract humans and calls itself the specialized unit "Friend." Nyudo wants to open a portal for it but the robot then shifts, using tactics to incite demons. It doesn't work on Nyudo, however, who notes how it learns language quickly. Nyudo then leaves as the robot analyzes his coordinates to send them to Mother.

Nyudo thinks it evolved quickly and is interested in incorporating it into his army for many possibilities while other units go to face the natural enemies in The Titan's Crown, Parasitica, The Disastrous Metropolis and Celestia.
