The surreal cackles of the reborn Reaper echoed throughout Japan. The country had just met its new ruler, and he wasn't just going to stop at that. He wanted it all. The continent. The whole planet. The universe. "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" His never ending cackles reigned as lava erupted from the earth below him. The night did not seem like it would see the light of day anymore. This was the dawn the world will have to embrace. He was just getting started. "Now, where to start?" His malicious grin proposed a variety of malevolent ideas. "Konkyuu." The world was at a standstill. Time stopped as the final chant reverberated. The earth's globe transitioned from her natural hue to a darker shade of crimson red. The air became thicker. Nature's plants were fast fading, turning to ash. The animals gasped for air. It was a sight that even alarmed the Reaper himself. "Oh?" The Reaper smirked. "Could this be?" An orchestral sound of infinite cries echoed as the technique's effect reache
"You want to show me the value of life?" The Reaper questioned hilariously, the blood reinforcing his body's vitals and overall durability as he got back up to his feet, embodying the persona of a true final boss. "Look at yourself. I could barely even tell if I was talking to the King of the Daemons or the King of Hell, and you want to preach to me of the value of life? Look around you, Owari! Everything you've known and loved is all gone!"The growing crescendo of psychotic cackles reverberated. "Only one King left, huh? Let's see who will rule the new world! Teach me, Owari! And save your world before I take it all away.""Take everything, Reaper!" Owari roared. "And rot in hell with it.""Open."Owari chanted the second time. The burning wind drifted at a quicker speed. The cracks of lightning resounded in grand ovation. Emerging from nothingness, the gates of hell appeared.In all its demonic majesty, the gates opened, Owari at its centre levitating. Demons roamed the earth, and
Owari Kurogane beheld the aftermath. It was a war unprecedented for, but needed as an eye-opener to the Strongest being alive. But, he appeared gloomy. The realisation had dawned upon him. Everything and everyone he had ever cared for was all gone, the consequences of the solitude that comes with godly strength."I guess this is what it means to be lonely, huh?" Owari soliloquized. "I did promise it will all be okay, so it’s about time we celebrated my victory, don't you think?"The air became thicker. His Core shone in epic fashion. Forging a hand sign, he commenced a chant."Shinsei naru Koa no Enerugī, michi o Kizame!Uchū no kokuu o kagayaku hikari ni kaeyo!Chikyū no seimei, arata ni hajimare!"In mystical fashion, the core of the earth manifested. With the power of his Divine core energy, the devastation began to rewind. The crumbled continents straightened, oceans calmed, and fractured skies healed.Celestial threads manifested, resurrecting forests, cities and the delicate bal
In the King’s Court: “Are you kidding me, Owari-san?” Yahata exclaimed, his voice echoing through the grand hall. “This is Cosmos we’re talking about here.” “Maybe he should have been more subtle in proving the point that he can’t be rescued. You nearly died the other day, man,” Owari retorted, his brow furrowed in concern. “But, we’re still living, Owari,” Karen chimed in, her tone tinged with optimism. “And still, you can’t say that our Daemons can take him down. He literally can’t die, remember?” “Then, I’d seal him within Hell’s Gate to suffer for eternity,” Owari suggested, a hint of desperation creeping into his voice. “You know trapping the Reaper made you tap into dark forces you nearly lost control of. Do you really think Cosmos is worth the time of our King? You’ve fought for us. It’s our turn to fight for ourselves,” Karen preached, her words resonating with conviction. “And what exactly do you have in your arsenal that can eliminate an immortal and his freaks of natur
“He he he.”“Charge.”Cosmos unleashed a dark energy beam towards Yahata, but the latter materialised black mystical gloves and deflected the blast, guiding it into an orb he conjured. Controlling the orb with a twist of his wrists, he redirected the attack back at Cosmos with a sonic scream. However, Cosmos deftly swatted the attack aside.Yuka and Yukina seized the distraction, launching twin axe kicks at their opponent’s ribs. A smirk crept across Cosmos's face, but Hiro intervened, teleporting Yahata directly behind Cosmos.With precision timing, Yahata materialised a baseball bat into existence and swung, smashing Cosmos’s head out of his sockets successfully.Cosmos quickly regenerated, only to find his adversaries had vanished. “Hmm…”“Envision.”In a climactic chant, infinite copies of Hiro surrounded Cosmos. Each copy unleashed a barrage of vicious combo attacks, and Yuka and Yukina assault the Chaos King with icicles and poisonous vines, veiling themselves with the Hiro copi
The dark grin appeared on the face of the opposition.Yahata drilled a Naginata through the heart of Cosmos. The latter stared viciously, and Yahata received multiple punctures through his body as if he was being overwhelmed by multiple bullets.Whilst being distracted, Hiro and Ruka emerged from his sides. An excalibur was showcased in the hands of the latter, and a Zhanmadao in the hands of the latter.In a unified swing, flames erupted from the Zhanmadao as Ruka delivered a two-piece combo to his vital parts while Hiro simultaneously unleashed cosmic lightning and severed the ribs and neck of Cosmos with the Excalibur.Yahata smirked, and in a snap of his fingers, the naginata blade self-destructed, exploding his heart from within.A rift in space occured, and a gigantic Mjölnir emerged into existence. Finding its way to the Chosen, Yahata gripped the weapon.Healing instantly, Yahata delivered a brutal back swing to his midsection and the effects of the weapon unleashed a thundercl
••• ‡ •••Thanks to the noble actions of Hiro and Ruka, the world as we knew it was returned to its former sanity. Cosmos was sealed at last in the technique of the celestial being of the Core of Space and Time.He was trapped within Draco’s law’s maximum technique, where time ceased to exist in the infinite pocket dimension.In any way should his brain matter, soul and spirit derive a thought of ever trying to escape, he would succumb to the wrath of Draco’s Law. He would be gone for good.Thus, he was stuck in a dimension that constantly weakened and overwhelmed him by the sheer force of the essence of the celestial being’s core energy for eternity, until he could no longer bear the torment and end his life in the inevitable.For a millennium, he endured. Only the heavens could comprehend how he did it.He waited patiently until the perfect opportunity presented itself on two occasions: the first in the birth of the Chosen Daemon and the second, at his death. The logic behind it all?
In the voidless expanse of a transcendental realm untouched by time or space, Kai Nagano, The Chosen Daemon's soul was confronted by the ominous presence of The Figure in what the former presumed to be the afterlife. “Oh dear God,” Kai lamented, soliloquising with a clear hint of disgust in his voice. “You could’ve at least thought of a better way to torture me in the afterlife.” “Well, hello to you too, Nagano.” The Figure greeted. “Frickin hell would have been a befitting option at this point.” Kai continued to talk to himself. “Is it too late to ask for a refund or something?” “Listen to me, Kai,” The Figure ordered, trying to get his attention. “So this is how my life’s gonna be after death, huh?” Kai questioned himself. “Stuck in a world with a…” “You’re not dead yet, Kai.” The Figure revealed. The expression of shock could not be more evident in the Chosen’s face. “What did you just say?” “You heard me right,” The Figure confirmed. “Turns out you WON’T have to spe
