@Tyrus no maybe its a time loop, so to explain he is the demon lord bit he is not at the same time. so before he become the demon lord he to travel back in time so he will get access to his power, then so on the story of betrayal and his death that only mean that his death is needed for him to be him. 

i know this is not understandable but if you watch the episode where stuwy Griffin created the universe for the universe to create him and so on it is cartoon so you know

@Lord of Nothingness maybe the pay is base on how many sub the g** has. just maybe

@Owlet why be mad i like it
