I didn't say I thought the Demon King had it, I don't image he's actually taking powers he has and loaning them to others. It's just the way you described it as people having to worship or always listen to the one who has it is not something that mesh's well with a king giving it to a subordinate, no matter how trusting they may be of them. More to the point, it's not so much about whether I want Estarossa or the Demon King to have it, it's that I think anyone having the ability you described would be a very bad idea and very difficult to write effectively. So better to not even go there.

I've just been going with the latter: what happened with that bird looked too much like what happened when people drank the demon blood and died. He's just too much demon apparently. I'm also not sure how something like you described could be applied to an animal, how is a bird supposed to worship someone?

I still don't get why people are so caught up with who's the leader or not. They do what want and they listen when they want. No need to make more than that. They listen to him because apparently it works but there's nothing to say they have to listen (or to anyone). Though I will say they're all doing their own thing because he didn't give them any specifics, he just said "Go off, get your magic back as fast as possible, kill the other races" he explicitely left how they go about do that to them.

Edit: Also, this is less important but Monspiet wasn't defensive about Galan trying to stop him from eating Diane's soul (because Galan didn't try and stop him from doing that) he got defensive when Galan questioned his reasons for wanting to do so and brought up his and Derrierie's relationship.
