What Happened In Raising Hell Chapter 4?
Raising Hell Chapter 4 opened with an expansive mythological flashback detailing the origins of humanity and the fallen Demigods.

Returning to the present, we saw Leoris attempting to buy baby supplies, a hilarious scene juxtaposing his deadly demeanor with mundane parenting tasks. However, the tension escalated when the shopkeeper, revealed to be a demon, confronted Leoris.

Raising Hell Chapter 5: Cradle To The Grave
In Raising Hell Chapter 5, the chaos of Leoris’s dual life as a Demon King and an unprepared parent intensifies. The chapter begins with a brief interlude of celestial lore, introducing the Asta, a burning star symbolizing the cycle of life and death.

This lore adds depth to the story, hinting at the baby’s potential connection to these cosmic forces.
The scene transitions back to Leoris, whose exhaustion is palpable as he tries to soothe the baby’s incessant cries. His struggles add a touch of humor, highlighting the absurdity of a Demon King reduced to desperate parenting attempts. However, the humor turns to tension when a demon kidnaps the baby. Mocking Leoris’s parenting skills, the kidnapper claims he’s rescuing the child from an unfit guardian. This taunt enrages Leoris, but the baby displays a brilliant power surge before he can act. In a climactic moment, the infant’s divine aura immobilizes the demon, allowing Leoris to utter, “Die.”
As the demon perishes, the baby falls from the sky, only to be caught effortlessly by Leoris.
