    And
    The Creed of the Empire
    The creed part resonate to your synopsis I think.

    4 or 5...creed of a kingdom works and sight of a great war is rather poetic so depends on hours you want to frame it

    Regarding "The Creed of the Empire". First off, there are too many "the"s. Use either "Creed of the Empire" or "The Empire's Creed" or maybe "The Imperial Creed".

    That said, your summary only mentions a single kingdom for the assembled races. An "empire" is a group of kingdoms/nations. Will your MC conquer other kingdoms to form an empire before going after the revenge-target kingdom? In addition, trashing this other kingdom would only a medium term goal. What will the MC do afterwards? Does this "creed" reflect the big(ger) picture?

    A song of a Great War is definitely out, because A. The theme on liberating many races against a prick of a great nation is not there. B. It sounded like you glorifying war.

    Please ignore all Devil term in your name, as it sounded as though the racist kingdom is the good guy over here, even if your MC is an edgelord.

    The Prophecy in the Night sounds promising, though a little like the thing about Jesus, whatever.

    How about "Tale of the Great Liberator"?

    Waffle stomping the racist kingdom down the drain in order to save a bunch of races sounds liberating.

    How about Emperor's Creed?

    Since your novel plays out like the Assassins Creed 2.

    Basically where you start from nothing and slowly build up the kingdom and unite all the races in order to fight something. That's what I thought when it comes to your novel.

    Among those 5 i prefer The Creed of the Empire, because it reminds me of The Lord of the Rings.

    But for light novel, i think it's better to use simple title. And it has to be catchy and unique.

    What about: Dominion’s Creed

    It doesn’t sound that catchy but meh tried my best, seriously tho I just realize how hard it is picking an appropriate title. No wonder some anime series and books have the name of the Main Character as the title.

    You can just title your novel as Chronicles of some great war that you came up with or the Legend of said empire's name?
