Solo Leveling Season 2 wrapped up in explosive fashion, bringing the Jeju Island arc to a jaw-dropping conclusion. Just when fans thought the stakes couldn’t get any higher, the series threw in a game-changing revelation with the arrival of the Monarchs.
These ancient and fearsome entities, woven into the essence of the Solo Leveling universe, are excess of just one other set of villains. Their presence signals a shift within the story’s tone, setting the stage for a much more intense battle.
The Monarchs: A Darker Threat Emerges
The Monarchs, born from darkness itself, are the counterforce to the light-wielding Rulers. Created by the Absolute Being, their mission is evident – destruction without mercy.
Jinwoo has faced formidable enemies up until now, however the emergence of the Monarchs raises the stakes exponentially. Their power stays an enigma, but one thing is bound: the conflict brewing will test him like never before.

A War Rooted in Ancient History
The history of the Monarchs stretches back to an ancient war that shaped the world. While the Rulers were tasked with maintaining order, the Monarchs sought absolute annihilation. Their relentless battles carved deep scars into history, pushing each side to their limits. The balance of power fluctuated over time, with the Rulers managing to imprison one in every of the Monarchs, Legia, using artifacts imbued with divine energy.
This small victory forced the remaining Monarchs right into a desperate gambit, an uneasy alliance with Ashborn, the Shadow Monarch. But as betrayal ran deep of their ranks, and trust was a luxury none could afford, Ashborn eventually turned against them, leaving the Monarchs to fend off the Rulers alone.
The Monarchs’ Past Attempts at Destruction
The season finale didn’t just introduce the Monarchs into the combination but in addition hinted on the full-scale war that’s about to unfold. This isn’t their first attempt at destruction; centuries ago, they tried to wipe out humanity to rebuild their armies, an effort that even the Cup of Reincarnation, able to rewinding time by a decade, failed to stop entirely. With their return, the world stands getting ready to devastation again.
With Season 3 on the horizon, Solo Leveling is gearing up for its most intense arc yet. The battle between the Monarchs and Rulers is way from over, and Jinwoo is about to be caught within the crossfire.
