The Divine Core CH54: "ARISE"
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
The Divine Core CH55: "THE EYES OF THE BEHOLDER"
In a hidden pocket of existence, within the crumbling remains of an ancient ruin, a fissure began to form. Cracks spider-webbed and snaked their way across the surface of the pocket dimension, like veins pulsing with unseen energy. With each passing moment, the fractures widened, until they converged into a single, gaping tear.Suddenly, with a thunderous roar, the pocket dimension shattered into countless fragments, the pieces dispersing like shards of glass caught in a hurricane. And as the dimension fragmented, reality bled into view, pulling the Daemons from the void into the tangible world.They were welcomed to an unknown underground location where the Chosen Daemon, Kai Nagano, and the unknown Daemon sat in serene meditation.They faced each other, their bodies illuminated by the faint glow of luminescent crystals embedded in the cavern walls.Their silhouettes cast long shadows against the rugged stone, creating an aura of mystery and intrigue.In the quiet stillness of the cha
The Divine Core CH56: "THE KAIROS'S AETHERIA"
In the vast emptiness of the scenery, there was a flicker of energy. It gathered, swirling like a whirlpool, drawing in light and matter from all around.Slowly, it condensed, forming a sphere of shimmering energy. Within this sphere, the fabric of reality twisted and folded, creating a pocket dimension unlike any other.As the energy coalesced, Kai and Kenji emerged from the swirling chaos. The latter's eyes glowed like molten gold, and the former surveyed the new domain with awe.Kenji christened the technique, "The Kairos's Aetheria."The Kairos's Aetheria: a pocket dimension the Space Core invented that defies the natural constraints of the natural order of space and time.Every day that passed training within this dimension equated itself to two years of real time experience. This way, the Daemons could cheat nature and subject Kai to an endless saga of back to back confrontations with its climax being levelling up at every successful battle session.The system was best fit for t
The Divine Core CH57: "FIGHT YOUR DEMONS"
« Within Kairos's Aetheria »Kairos granted the desires of the Chosen Daemon.In mystical fashion, the scenery took a shift in point of view. Kenji and Kairos were out of sight. The system transported Kai to an alternate universe.In the blink of an eye, the void around Kai began to shift and twist, like a canvas being painted with reality. Tokyo, Japan emerged from the emptiness, but it wasn't quite the Tokyo Kai knew.The sky above was a canvas of deep purples and blues, streaked with wisps of silver clouds that seemed to shimmer like ethereal silk.Buildings rose like monoliths, blending ancient architecture with sleek, futuristic designs. Neon signs flickered to life, casting an eye-catching glow upon the bustling streets below.Despite the vibrant energy pulsating through the city, there was an unmistakable air of solemnity. The streets were filled with people adorned in traditional garments, their faces painted in patterns of white and black. It was the Day of the Dead, a time w
The Divine Core CH58: "WORST NIGHTMARE"
Kai seemed to have fixated his emotions to be stagnant in revenge, which fueled his core energy to menacing heights.He summoned more azure dragons to save the humans from the country-sized earthquake. Kai landed smoothly to the earth, and was immediately faced by the mutant dead.Shocking the Chosen Daemon, the beings struck swift energy blasts which he dodged fairly easily.The beings held him tight and oozed acid goo on him, melting his body in painful order. Kai shrieked in pain, generating a massage shockwave that blew up the surrounding mutants to bones.Kai took to the skies, riding on an azure dragon as he launched a flame cyclone unto the freakish opposition. Kai concentrated, focusing his spirit to his core energy to heal himself from the damage.Unfortunately, the mutants did not wish for him to recover. In sickening unison, they converged energies, sending a behemoth acid wave towards Kai to turn him into a molten liquid. The latter's eyes flashed as he saw death knocking
The Divine Core CH59: "THE BOUNTY HUNT"
‘What’s wrong with you, Kai Nagano! Do something! Move! Move! Move!’ Kai’s conscience rallied his body.Yumiko launched the destructive blast point blanc, seemingly eviscerating the Chosen Daemon and fulfilling his innate desires of sweet vengeance.She sustained the blast for a little while longer to make a statement, and released the hold in assurance of his death. She smirked in her supposed victory, using the moment to gaze at the aftermath of her victory.“I’ve got to admit, Kurogawa.” Kai’s voice rang out. “You once again prove time and time again why my entire being despises you.”Yumiko turned back, adopting a stance to assure she was not caught off guard.“I guess I understand how this system’s going to play out, and I can’t wait to run through every single opposition that I’ve ever faced, that I continuously dread within my very beck and core, until my soul derives the joy it so desperately desires.”Yumiko turned to the direction of his voice and launched a massive beam of
The Divine Core CH60: "KAI NAGANO"
The sudden interruption on the television screens and radios caused a stir across Japan. People paused their activities, their attention captured by the unexpected announcement."Hey, what's going on?" a commuter asked his fellow passenger on the train."I don't know, they interrupted the news for something big," the other replied, leaning closer to the screen.On the crowded streets of Tokyo, pedestrians stopped in their tracks, craning their necks to catch a glimpse of the image of the Chosen Daemon."Did you hear that? They're talking about some kid named Kai Nagano," one person remarked to their companion, brows furrowed in confusion."Yeah, I heard. He seemed to have come back from the dead or something," the other replied, eyes widening in surprise.In office buildings, workers gathered around televisions and smartphones, trying to make sense of the unexpected announcement."Wait, are you hearing what I’m hearing? A way for the dead to rise again?" a cubicle neighbor whispered t
The Divine Core CH61: "THE GAUNTLET"
~ In an Unknown Location ~Chikara was welcomed into the humble abode of the harbingers of evil.“Well done, Chikara!” Kōzō praised his underling for his outstanding performance.“Yeah, you really are putting yourself out there. Quite the courage you’ve put up daring to step foot again into the borders of Shinjutsu High.” Akuma glazed his comrade. “Especially after being recently discovered as her second impostor.”“Well, what can I say?” Chikara cut in, joking about. “Someone's gotta do the dirty work around here. Kōzō-sama’s quite demanding, you know?”“But, I don't understand any of this, Kōzō.” Ihann pointed out. “It all just sounds too random: getting the whole of Japan involved in our matters, letting the world potentially know of Daemons once again, creating unnecessary trails of ever-growing violence and disputes. What's really your plan, Kōzō?”The Mastermind chuckled darkly, growing a faint sense of ecstasy. “Now, Ihann, where did this growing intelligence come from? And her
