Author notes 1
Hi guys. Here with 5k and something not counting the author notes.
-The world cup started so here in my country (Argentina) everyone is talking about it and watching the matches even more now because we won the last world cup…btw we won yesterday lets fucking gooo.
One of the many reasons why I was absent.
But hey. I'm still here.
-I finally rewatched the entire RWBY (9 volumes/seasons)…man. I was taking notes of all the shitty things i will correct later on in the fic.
Volume 7 and 8 are dogshit, volume 9…my god this writers.
They should follow Ruby's example, just like she did in Volume 9. If you know you know….
Just kidding (kinda)
I have 80% of the RWBY fic thinked out, even the ending, the other 20% is slice of life, secondary missions, yapping, monologues, and other things for the fic.
-So yeah…we break the barrier of 30 chapters without dropping. Yeaaah.
Below 30 chaps authors usually drop out or move on to other stories (it happens with more than 30 of course).
So here we are chapter 30, My personal favorite chapter on the whole fic.
Enjoy.
Thing we will be talking in the author notes 2

-A glimpse into the mind of an average fanfiction author

- Third Person POV -
After the gacha of yesterday the next day Lucerion was ready to fulfill what he said he was going to do some time ago inside his mind.
Lucerion stands in front of his warriors, the mighty eighty eight. The constellations. All of them are kneeling.
Their radiance illuminated the darkness of the cosmos.
The god of cosmos has no smile on his face.
He looked at all his warriors, he felt their unwavering devotion.
Until he breaks the silence.
"Khaos brigade."
The name left his lips with disdain.
"For years, they have done multiple evil deeds."
"Stelling."
"Murdering."
"Torture."
"Rape."
"Slavery."
"Crimes against humanity and several other pantheons."
He gestured with his hand, recounting each one but then stopped.
"I could go on, but it would be despicable of me." Lucerion joked and said with a smile.
"In the end the innocent always pay unfairly for trash like them." he turned around with his arms behind his back.
The constellations started trembling. Not only by the emotion of the coming war…but anger, they feel the anger of their king.
Leo. The strongest constellations noticed...their king became even stronger.
"No more." He said in an icy voice.
"I'm going to teleport everyone to their meeting and we're going to kill every single member."
"From the soldiers, to the commanders, to the inner circle who make the decisions."
"No mercy, no survivors, no surrender."
"I already gave you instructions on what you need to do against certain individuals." Lucerion said, referring to the special members of Khaos Brigade.
"I will personally lead the front...clean the garbage at an inter-pantheon level
and end this war with our victory." He stated with absolute confidence.
Leo was the first to roar. Excited for the fight, ready to give it his all for his king.
The rest of the constellations followed, from voices to animalistic roars, showing their absolute faith and readiness for the coming battle.
The King of Stars himself was going to fight his own battle accompanied by his constellations.
"Ten more minutes and we'll begin." He said putting his Ornstein armor but not the helm…
Because now he only wears his crown of black matter and stardust.
Lucerion waited calmly while he watched the state of their assimilations
- Ashborn - 100% -
- Serie - 100% -
- Hero X - 51% -
It caught him off guard to see that the one who seemed like a "normal human" was so powerful.
Assimilating Ashborn and the Serie more easily, just a couple of hours.
His now divine body can assimilate many fictional characters easily...but with Hero X things are different…
'Beyond strength huh…' he thought, thinking about those entities that are or managed to reach multiversal tier.
He knew he still had a way to go to be multiversal, but he also knew he had all of eternity.
And now he can travel to different worlds and dimensions with the powers of Hero X.
This white haired dude is too strong.
The possibilities are infinite.
'And even beyond that…Tier 0.' Lucerion thought with a smile, closing his eyes.
'Someday…'

-Unknow secret pocket dimension-
The pocket dimension stretched endlessly beneath a blood-red sky, there was no sun, the sky was always red.. The crimson heavens cast an eternal scarlet glow.
All you could see was sand. Dunes, broken only by jagged stone formations worn smooth by the winds.
No plants, animals, or water existed.
But they were others…using this particular pocket dimension.
Large tables of food were visible where members of Khaos Brigade were sitting.
Of course, there were several tables separating the tiers of the members, from the "common" soldier, to high-ranking member, to member of the inner circle.
Khaos Brigade as a whole was a large group.
Not counting special members or "named characters" it was a group of around 3000 members
There were separate groups,not really interested in food or socializing…
"HAHAHA BURN!" Walburga exclaimed loudly, with crazy eyes and a wicked smile as she burned alive a foot soldier for his own pleasure.
She was the current wielder of the sacred gear, Incinerate anthem.
It was a ruthless world for the lower-ranked members of the group…
The superiors did whatever they wanted, not only that, but lately they had been losing, it was really a bad season to be part of khaos brigade or "evil" in general.
A bit away from the screaming burning man…the "leaders" were gathering.
The first to arrive were the Greek gods. Hades, Nyx and Erebus
"My~ some of the members are showing potential, what do you think brother?" Nyx the Primordial Goddess of the Night said with a similar sadistic expression.
The goddess of darkness had a youthful appearance, long black hair, and wore a black dress with ruffles. Honestly, it looked more like a private school uniform than anything else.
This dress was the legendary Godly Virgin Killer Clothes. If you are a virgin then you can't damage her.
You will need some bitches or plot armor like Issei.
His brother Erebus the Primordial God of Darkness rolled his eyes calmly.
He has the appearance of a young looking man, black hair same as his younger sister and wearing a suit as black as the night.
"Another one similar to you is too much dear sister." Erebus said, looking at Walburga in the distance.
He noticed the similarities, both sadistic young looking women, gothic lolita fashion.
It is a combination of two "people" that is best avoided.
"Hmmp!" Nyx harrumphed at his brother.
"And besides, the brat is a sacred gear user." Hades the god of dead breaks the silence in a bit disgusted tone.
The tall skeleton is similar looking to Ainz Ooal Gown.
It's no secret that Skeletor doesn't like Sacred Gears.
Or the fallen angels.
Or the devils, but this one it is understandable.
"But we need all the help we can get, now more than ever." A new voice said with a smug smile, announcing its presence.
It was Loki the God of lies and magic. A well recovered Loki.
Of course he escaped from prison, from the grasp of his pantheon and now is committed fully to khaos brigade for three motives.
He wants chaos, he has nowhere to go, and now he seeks revenge on a certain human named Samuel Lancaster who gave him the beating of his life.
Loki still remembers the pain and humiliation, still fresh in his memory, of how easily he lost.
He's going to kill that barbaric brat, he's going to trick all these fools into marching against him and he personally will pull his guts out through his mouth.
'...You just wait.' Loki thought.
Loki did not come alone, he was accompanied by someone, Rizevim Livan Lucifer himself.
Rizveim only smiled and nodded to everyone present.
If Hades' face weren't a skull, you'd clearly see the look of disgust when the fucking "bat" appeared.
"You did a good job creating this dimension, god of lies." Rizevim said in a light tone looking at the crimson sky.
"Of course i did." Loki scoffed.
"Where is Indra?" Hades asked.
"I have no idea." Loki shrugged looking at Rizevim for the answer.
"Me neither. He is not responding to any messages." Rizevim shrugged, raising her hands slightly.
"Indeed, that's strange…" Loki put a hand on his chin with a pensative expression.
'I'm surrounded by absolute fools.' Hades lamented, shaking his head.
"And Crom Cruach?" Nyx asked.
"He is coming." Loki nodded. "Along with his…dragons friends."
"Good." Hades said.
Rizevim decided to talk about what seemed strange to him.
"It's strange that Ophis has decided to become so proactive." Rizevim stated. Wanting to hear the opinions of the others regarding the sudden change of the Ouroboros Dragon.
"Indeed. The brat is practically socially inept, just handling her snakes to us whatever we asked without questioning us, but last time she was…" Loki said with narrowed eyes.
"More lucid? More attentive? Not to mention that she spoke with firmness and was radiating her immense power." Rizevim said.
"Where are you going with this?" Hades asked but he already knew, it was weird from Ophis. Very out of character.
"It's weird, something is not quite right." Rizevim said with a smile.
He was interested in the current development, not only Ophis but the new god Lucerion too.
"Does it have anything to do with the new god in your pantheon?" Hades asked with a smile to Rizevim.
at the mention of "Him" Nyx and Erebus winced.
Rizevim and Loki notice this.
"Not really my god, im a devil after all, we reject even Yahweh himself." Rizevim looked to Hades then to the brothers. "You two know something about Lucerion?"
Nyx grimaced with discomfort.
"Fuck that. Im not using my divinity to inquire about him." Nyx said on the defensive.
She and her brother knew that "god" if one could call him that, though he presented himself as the King of the Stars... the cosmos is a place of darkness... far beyond her capabilities and Erebus.
"Scared?" Rizevim raised an eyebrow with a smirk to Nyx.
"Kill yourself."
Rizevim smirk grew a little, then he looked at Erebus.
"I will pass Rizevim, i don't want to have anything to do with that god of the cosmos." Erebus said with a polite smile.
Rizevim let out a frustrated sigh.
'So boring…where's the interest? A god far stronger than Great Red was born, and they're hiding like insects.' Rizevim thought.
He would like to meet the new god, and who knows, perhaps it is a god whose goals align with those of the Khaos Brigade, someone who might finally bring a bit of flavor to his bland existence.
"I imagine Zeus threw a tantrum upon learning that his rival pantheon is now ruled by the strongest god." Rizevim continued poking around.
Surprisingly Hades let out a smile.
"Indeed, seeing the bolts of fury atop Mount Olympus made my night."
If Zeus is having trouble, then Hades is happy, especially if it involves Yahweh or the Abrahamic pantheon. After all, Yahweh shattered his fragile ego long ago.
Nyx signaled to Hades with an eager smile where Walburga was burning people asking for permission to go.
"Go." Hades gestures with his hand.
He realized she needed a distraction, Nyx didn't like talking about Lucerion or politics.
Hades nodded to Erebus letting him follow his sister so he wouldn't get too wild.
"Did I perhaps pressure them too much?" Rizevim asked, looking at the two brothers who were walking away.
"You did." Loki said with a giggle.
"They are a bit tense, it is not every day that a god is born who possesses absolute mastery over their divinity." Hades said.
"What is your opinion about Lucerion?" Rizevim asked Hades directly, getting straight to the point.
"I don't like it. No being should have that much power." Hades let out a sigh. "It will be troublesome." He finishes no more elaborating.
Rizevim anticipating a boring answer, I look at the God of Lies to hear his opinion.
"I don't like him…i don't know why…" Loki said unsure.
Rizevim raised a curious brow at the unsure answer of the God of Lies.
"...But it will be funny if he makes the world burn. I would like to see the fireworks display." Loki concluded.
Rizevim just chuckled.
"Where are Crom Cruach and Ophis?" Hades asked, the god of death was getting tired of waiting and having to listen to the chatter of these two morons.
"He just entered the dimension with his small group, from that direction he will be here shortly." Loki signaled behind him.
"And Ophis?" Rizevim asked.
"No idea about her."
Rizevim narrowed his eyes. When he heard that answer something clicked inside him. His six sense tell him something is wrong
Something is not right.
Something feels... out of place.
Rizevim looked around carefully without making a scene.
'Everything seems normal... but then why?' Rizevim started to think.
Is Loki lying? he was the god of lies, after all, so it's possible.
His mind began to race, analyzing the group's past failures.
Kokabiel, even though he wasn't a member, they wanted the warmonger to run rampant in the pantheon for chaos.
The death of Katarea and her army. The Loki fiasco and the death of Fenrir.
He knows that everything points to a certain group of brats from Kuoh.
Contrary to what everyone else thinks, they didn't win because they have the Red Dragon Emperor, the sisters of two Maou, or whatever other special peerage member.
It does not matter how much official documents point to the group.
'Samuel Lancaster.' Rizevim said the name in his head.
'The documents say you helped out a bit, but i don't believe a damn word of it…'
Rizevim also knew that Indra was interested in the brat, naturally, Shalba had told him about it, and the God of storms kept that information to himself.
So where the hell is Indra?
Rizevim was connecting the dots, Indra is interested in Lancaster... not answering any messages... not here.
'No. It can't be…a human beating one of the strongest gods? No…that's silly.' Rizevim shook his head.
Even someone like him would have lost to Indra.
Then Indra betrayed Khaos brigade then? most possible but it's not confirmed.
Rizevim kept thinking, his lightbulb was about to switch on.
Kokabiel dead, Katarea dead, Loki defeated, Fenrir dead, Indra is missing…
Samuel Lancaster is always the coincidence in this cases…
'But killing Indra? Samuel would have to be a hidden… god.'
Rizevim widened his eyes with a creepy smile.
'How i didn't see it before!'
This is gonna be so much fun from now on. Samuel, no. Lucerion was targeting them. Khaos Brigade.
Rizevim will-
"Ewww! why are you pissing yourself!" Rizveim's line of thought was cut as he heard Walburga's disgusted scream.
Hades, Loki and Rizveim looked in Walburga's direction, where they saw Nyx trembling.
Beneath Nyx, a small puddle of urine.
"Disgusting." Loki said as he just closed his eyes letting out a giggle.
Rizveim was looking at this with interest.
Hades was quiet looking at the brother who was getting close to Nyx. The god of death already realized something was off.
"Sister what-" He never finished because he started trembling too.
Everyone felt a chill in their spine this time.
Rizveim was the first to look up to the sky.
It was no longer a crimson-red sky.
It was covered by stars.
"[Dimension Lost - Balance Breaker]"
"[Reverse World of the Crooked Man]"
And slowly falling from the sky came the King of Stars, accompanied by his constellations.
(Image)
Everyone saw his eyes, black as galaxies.
Nyx and Erebus fell to the floor and they started convulsing.
A black liquid was weeping from the eyes, the same liquid was being expelled from the mouth.
Loki, seeing the familiar face and feeling the otherworldly pressure, just turned around and started to run in utter desperation.
Rizveim standing before the God of the Cosmos, he placed his arms behind his back and smiled.
He understood it better than anyone, and before anyone else.
They were all going to die here.
'This is the end huh…then it doesn't really matter anymore.' Rizevim said in his mind welcoming death with a calm smile.

- Lucerion POV-
Interesting.
First time i depower gods of their divinity.
Darkness in these two cases.
I can strip them of their divinity when it's linked to the stars, the moon, and the darkness, huh?
The two requirements are total control over the divinity in question and being much stronger than the target.
And of course i did it in the most painful way for these two scumbags.
Later i will take that dress from Nyx, it's a priceless magical item after all. My collectionist ass can't afford to lose it. Even if it is an item for women.
As i touch the ground i look at the whole Khaos Brigade.
Normal joes are shitting themself at my blood lust…the leaders are somewhat resisting it. Mmmh i see. Imagine if i got something like Conqueror Haki…
Shame i didnt get a character with Haki, yet.
Okay lets start this Annihilation.
I close my eyes as the shadows extend from my feed to kilometers around.
The time has come…time to end this whole group for good.
"[Annihilation Maker - Balance Breaker]"
"[Dream of the Undying]"
This balance breaker is very special.
It's my gift not only to the old Samuel but it is also my gift to House Lancaster.
I watch with absolute clarity as the knights who were once members of the House of Lancaster rise from the shadows. Reshaped by them.
Now they are beyond when they were alive. Beyond their peak.
Now they stand with me, the last of the Lancasters, in all the glory of our noble house's strength.
No…beyond that.
"The house of Lancaster is at his prime again!" I said, extending my arms.
I can see how Hades comically expanded his eye sockets wide seeing all these shadow knights being summoned.
Well…my soldiers are the ultimate class or stronger, hehehe poor skelly must be cursing the shit out of sacred gears right now.
And yep, i fucking did it, with my knowleaged of darkness given by many assimilations like Pitch back i was able to achieve this absolute madness. Not only that but i "created" this in the balance breaker state of Night Reflection.
Im the lord of shades heh.
No comparison with the balance breaker of Leonardo. Bandersnatch and Jabberwocky it was a strong balance breaker and to think Leonardo had no idea about anything.
And by not knowing two shits the peerage of Sirzechs has to step down to stop him.
Truly the most broken and bugged sacred gear.
I put the hearth of the old Samuel in this balance breaker…his deepest desire, his undying dream.
As long as i live, the dream will be alive.
But this is not the cherry of the top regarding Annihilation Maker.
"Captain." Artorias kneeled close to me along with Igris as the berserk armor.
"My warriors." I spoke softly, yet my voice reached everyone, even the frozen Khaos Brigade.
I beheld my legion,the eighty-eight constellations led by Leo, representing the light, my light as King of the Stars.
And on the other side stood Artorias and all of the other knights, five hundred of them created from the shadows of Annihilation Maker, representing my darkness as God of the Cosmos.
"Kill them all."
For Leo that was everything he rushed at impressive speed and destroyed everything in his path while going after Loki.
Pandemonium broke, all my warriors started charging at Khaos brigade.
Huh.
It's kinda impressive and funny to see 589 counting myself and winning against a group of 3000 people approx.
Ah here it goes Loki…
Leo cuts through with absolute violence, destroying every member with one hit.
And piercing Loki's chest, grabbing and exploding his heart…as expected of the one who rivals the strength of the Great Red, my top tier.
I told him to hold back a little…guess still is not enough hehe.
Yep, they are cooked.
Well time for the liberation of Annihilation Maker.
Hey…i showed the balance breaker, the dream and heart of Samuel Lancaster.
Now time to show some of the might of the strongest god.
Now…this is the cherry on the top regarding Annihilation maker.
This chant will be heard throughout the universe.
I'm going to stomp them even more…
"[Once, Alone stood I, stained by fate...The Forgotten One.]"
—
-Third person POV-
Hades was holding his ground.
Damaged and tired, he blocked with a magic shield a nasty spear came from behind him, Hades did not know but he was fighting the knight of Aries.
He looked around to see various "high tier members" dead already. Not only Erebus and Nyx.
Shalba, Creuserey, Euclid, Diodora and others forgettable devils supporters of the old satan faction.
Their severed heads lay on the floor, while a knight wearing a scorpion helmet held Shalba's head in his sting.
For the first time in a long time, Hades felt an emotion he had almost forgotten.
Fear.
But something else caught his attention in the chaos of the massacre.
Rizevim.
He was calm, wearing a smile. There wasn't a trace of malice or danger about him, which was precisely why no one attacked him.
Straining with great effort, Hades flew toward him at high speed and erected a temporary barrier.
Covering them both.
"Why are you not fighting?" Hades asked with anger. He wanted to know if the devil has some ace up his sleeve, something to help him escape or turn this situation around, anything.
"Does it even matter? Rizevim replied listlessly, nothing mattered to him anymore.
Lucerion not only thwarted his plans from the start but also stripped him of his interest, and now he is going to take his life.
The devil can't reason with him using words, He can't beat him, so what's the point of even trying?
Rizevim's nihilistic nature was intensifying toward the end of his life.
Hades punched Rizevim in the face, making the devil fall back on his ass.
"Fight! you disgusting bat! use your trick against that dammable sacred gear!" Hades screamed, shaking Rizevim.
"[Once, Alone stood I, stained by fate... The Forgotten One.]"
Those words chilled Hades to the bone as he looked toward where the God of the Cosmos stood in the distance.
Hades understood quickly it was a chant. If the balance breaker is massacring them then the liberation it's going to wipe us off the map clean.
He quickly grabbed Rizevim and shook him violently, trying to snap him out of his stupidity and get him to act.
"Now is not the time to give up, you only need to touch it once, and we can stop this!" Hades bargained. "Stop it from using that damned sacred gear, just one touch, just interrupt his chant, give me some time to-"
"It doesn't matter."
Hades' anger reached the peak but before he could do something his barrier was broken.
He raised his staff to defend himself against Aries, but someone grabbed his arm and ripped it off.
The knight of Pisces.
"Arrhg!" Hades complained in pain while being pinned to the floor by Aries.
"This one gives up before the fight even begins." Pisces said while magically binded Rizevim to the floor next to Hades.
"Smart." Aries said. "The king wants to talk to these two a bit before this war ends so let's keep watch while it finishes." He continued.
"[Then, blessed by fortune, I embarked upon my crusade.]"
"[Evil deemed itself invincible.]" The chant resonated strongly throughout the universe.
"You two are lucky," said Pisces to Hades and Rizevim. "You are going to witness his miracle."
"[Yet I see through his hollow lies and their hollow lives.]" Lucerion focused on the chant, looking at Khaos brigade.
"[I shall gladly annihilate them all.]" The mirror dimension began to tremble.
"[It is not merely my desire, nor my duty as God.]"
"[...but my very feelings as King.]"
"[Annihilation Maker - Forsaken Regalia]"
It happened suddenly, like a blackout.
The final word of the chant echoed across the universe.
All the light in the dimension was consumed, it gradually returned as a faint glow... as if someone were lighting a candle.
Shadows start surging like an unstoppable tide.
Consuming mountains, earth, the dune sands. Everything.
Those present understood only one thing.
There was no escape.
In this infinite night, and at its heart stood the bearer, the unquestioned sovereign of the darkness he had unleashed.
Truly worthy of the Monarch of Shadows or as the title of the wielder Annihilation Maker, The Father of Monsters.
From the darkness monsters were being created and emerging from the shadows. Hundreds upon hundreds.
From personal nightmares to torment specifically to each member to fictional monsters like Venom, Carnage, Black sperm from One Punch Man and many others.
Annihilation Maker after all, it could create these monsters, a sacred gear with the potential to be an army generator.
With a touch of inspiration, Lucerion can create his rivals' own personal nightmares, and as if that weren't enough, he can also conjure up monsters from fiction.
'Pitch black template is so useful.' Lucerion though. Pitch Black has shadow manipulation in his repertory after all.
Issuing the mental command for the new shadows to begin attacking the remaining members of the Khaos Brigade, he set to work as well.
'I want to be a king who fights his own battles too.' Lucerion said in his mind.
Lucerion decided to make his move, moving at such high speed that he tore up the ground, he shot into the sky and descended like a lightning bolt, dragon slaying spear in hand, to claim his first victim.
Crom Cruach's heart was pierced by the spear in a brutal "Stinger" attack that drove him into the ground, the dragon didn't even have time to react, Lucerion was incredibly fast.
It smashed into the ground, creating a massive crater, the powerful momentum destroyed the evil dragon.
"I'm a dragon slayer too, I wanted to kill you personally." Lucerion said removing his spear from his lifeless body.
Around the crater, not only the other evil dragons took the opportunity to rush at Lucerion who was now on the battlefield.
Not only the massive three dragons charged but a lot of other members of Khaos brigade too. From all directions surrounding Lucerion.
"I WILL DRAG YOU DOWN TO HELL WITH ME GOD OF COSMOS!" Azi Dahaka roared as he charged with his fellow dragons.
Lucerion swung his arm around him, extending it and generating a solar whip from his palm that would boil alive anyone it touched. The whip was very similar to the Solar Eruption weapon from Terraria.
The whip swept through, destroying everything in its path, it sliced through the bodies of soldiers and dragons alike as if they were butter.
Niohoggr widened his eyes in fear as he saw how the dragons were sliced like tofu.
Lucerion then started to teleport across the battlefield…swinging the whip again.
'...What…no. Monster…' Niohoggr says his final thoughts as his head separated from his body, touched the ground.
After killing the dragons and…others.
Lucerion looked around...hardly anyone from the Khaos Brigade was left...About 200 people, all the leaders were dead with the exception of Hades and Rizevim.
In less than ten minutes, he and his army had pulverized them all.
He watched as his monsters and nightmares destroyed those who remained...
Shadow horses, the iconic steeds of Pitch Black, galloped across the skies...hunting down those who could fly.
Lucerion calmly began walking toward the place where Hades and Rizevim were being held by his knights.
"Well well well…" He looked down to Rizevim, ignoring Hades for the moment."The son of Lucifer."
Rizevim said nothing, with a poker face, he looked at Lucerion.
"To be honest, I was expecting a fight from you." Lucerion said "I would have liked it, it would have been... something symbolic."
"How so?" Rizevim asked, a bit curious.
"Yahweh, in his duty as God, killed Lucifer in a fight. Now I, the next god of the Abrahamic pantheon, am about to kill his son…you see my point? the next generation is following the old one." The God of Cosmos said.
For Lucerion, it wasn't just duty. It was for several other reasons too.
Basically Stopping Rizevim's with his another world shenanigans on time and to save Great Red from being oneshot by ExE gods.
With this, he saved the delinquent dragon from being beheaded.
"Maybe he won against my father but Yahweh still died in that fight." Rizevim pointed out.
"Ain't that crazy? he sealed Trixeha and in a weakened state fought Lucifer and other satans and still won…the evil bastard like you guys suck, literal scrubs, he took them all down with the odds stacked against him and was the last one standing."
"Absolute chad." Lucerion concluded as Rizevim didn't quite understand the last part.
"But that's just how it is, an inferior mindset always loses in the end...that's why your sad, nihilistic ass was destined to lose in the end."
'If it wasn't me it was going to be Issei down the line'
"It's a shame your nihilistic nature got the better of you in the end and you gave up... but I can't blame you, you were up against me." Lucerion finished his roast.
Rizevim just snorted.
"You even know that? what a scary being you are, Lucerion, but like i said , it doesn't matter anymore." Rizevim said his last words with a small smile.
He didn't even care about speaking or telling him that he knew he was Samuel Lancaster.
"Goodbye Unholy one."
Lucerion gestured to Pisces to cut off his head.
The knight of Pisces raised his sword high, aiming at Rizevim's neck, and cleanly severed his head.
"...Now Hades. I will not roast you, you don't deserve it…but you deserve death." Lucerion said.
Hades looked at the God of the Cosmos in silence, his fury had long since vanished. He would not beg, he would accept his death with dignity.
"The only thing you were right about was the sacred gears." Lucerion admitted, surprising the god of death.
"What?" Hades asked, confused.
"You are right. Sacred ears are a danger to the world, they manifest in humans, who are then hunted like rabbits by various pantheons, bringing the bearers more suffering than benefit. They were created by Yahweh with the intention of allowing humanity to defend itself, but my predecessor's idea was a resounding failure." Lucerion concluded.
Hades was a bit surprised but then he scoffed.
"Why are you telling me this?"
"Because before i kill you, i am going to tell you that this is the final cycle of the sacred gears, when i sit upon the Throne of the Heavens in two days, i will shut down the sacred
gear system forever. The next time the bearer dies, the Sacred Gear will not reincarnate again."
Of course, Lucerion wasn't going to tell this to some troublesome individual, if this information were to become public, it could lead to troublesome issues.
That's why he simply breaks the cycle and keeps the sacred gears for himself... or gives them to his army, or to those he deems worthy or in a solid position to be part of the supernatural world. And most importantly someone of the Abrahamic Pantheon.
Lucerion will become the perfect gate keeper.
"Take this peace of mind to the grave with you... the sacred gears will no longer be in circulation."
With that Lucerion knelt down and touched Hades bald head.
"Any last words?"
"Curse you God of the Cosmos." Hades said in a venomous tone.
Hades doesn't have much in common with his brother, but they do share a powerful, long standing grudge against the Abrahamic Pantheon. Just like his brother Zeus, Hades hated the damned Abrahamic pantheon...and he hates this damned new god of that same pantheon.
"Yeah…Indra said the same."
"..." Hades.
A controlled sphere of solar energy erases Hades head, leaving only his lifeless body.
"Good riddance Khaos brigade." Lucerion let out a sigh as he looked around to his warriors, bringing close all the bodies of the members.
Leo and Escorpio approached, bringing the body of Loki and all the devils of the Old Satan Faction.
"Are all the bodies ready?" Lucerion asked Leo even if he already knew it.
"Yes my king, every single one of them is dead." Leo knelt down.
"The sacred gears?"
"All of them were harvested properly my king, as you instructed." The knight of Saggitarius said, stepping out.
"Good then." he nodded. "The magical items?"
"Here my king." The female knight of Libra kneels.
On the ground lay various objects and magical weapons, among them Nyx's dress.
'How efficient.'
The god of cosmos quickly stored everything in his inventory...he's going to analyze the properties of each object properly under his watchful eye.
Lucerion, with an eager smile, like a child at Christmas about to open their gifts, looked at the bodies of Khaos Brigade.
For all the atrocities they committed, he does not want them to burn in hell, nor to rest…their souls are eternally his to serve him.
It's the least those bastards can do for a greater good in the future.
The floor of the Mirror Dimension turned black again...every lifeless body trembled slightly.
"Arise."

-Third person Pov -
- Ophis new personal dimension - Two hours later -
The dimension was a starry world... beautiful galaxies and cosmic phenomena were in sight.
Many moons in their various phases could be seen across the starry night sky.
The dimension conveyed a sense of absolute tranquility, everything needed for this dragoness to sleep.
Lucerion and Ophis passed through a portal...the two of them walking side by side.
"You did a good job gathering them." Lucerion said.
Ophis just nodded looking around the dimension.
Lucerion created a suitable dimension for her to enter one of her eternal slumbers.
"Do you like my work?" He asked.
"Mmmnh." Ophis nodded again.
They kept walking until they reached a double bed floating amidst the beautiful cosmic phenomena.
Lucerion sat on the edge of the bed and stroked its surface.
"Quite possibly the best bed in the world...i told my constellations to create it for you."
Ophis just hopped in the bed and went under the sheets as Lucerion chuckled.
"It's comfy…and warn." She said, pulling the sheets up to their chin.
"I suppose you're going to sleep for a long time now?" He asked.
"...Yeah." Ophis replied in a sleepy voice.
"...I see, sweet dreams Ophis. Enjoy your silence." Lucerion stood up and moved away to leave the dimension.
"Lucerion."
"Yes?"
"Thank you."
Lucerion just smiled.
"See you in a few hundred years Ophis."
And with that Lucerion leaves the dimension.
.
..
…
A minute later Lucerion was sitting on his golden throne.
"Today was the Khaos brigade…tomorrow i will kill all the demons."
Lucerion was ready to continue his holy crusade...purifying his pantheon of the angels who fell alongside Lucifer.
"Those bastards…since immemorial times, they have been a thorn in humanity's side."
"Tomorrow then…"
"Rip and Tear until it's done."

Author notes 2:
- This chapter.
Hope you enjoyed my favorite chapter of the the whole fic :D
We see more of Lucerion's divinity.
Well, as you probably know, the idea is perfect harmony between light and darkness, a perfect balance between yin and yang, just like a human being, who can be good, evil, or something in between.
Lucerion, and the aspect of him representing light, would be The King of Stars.
The aspect of him that represents darkness would be The God of the Cosmos... drawing a bit from Lovecraftian deities.
That's why, when i write, i refer to it by both titles.
Regarding Lucerion strength…he is tier 1-A. (vs battles wiki if you want to research about powerscalling)
Next one lets talk about his Doom Slayer assimilation template…
Some people consider Doom Guy as a universal power lever…or even going as far as saying he is multiversal.
Sorry but i strongly disagree.
In the wiki Doom guy varies quite a lot, from 9-A to high 3-A.
This is just wacky powerscalling at this point.
It's my fic so obviously, the Doom Slayer's assimilation wasn't at a universal power level.
Watch out regarding powerscaling. It can get a bit wacky.
Obviously, I try to be as precise as possible, you'll never catch me saying something monumentally stupid, like Adam Smasher can beat the Doom Slayer, like a certain fanfic i once read did hehe. I wanted to smash my head on the desk when the author said that.
-Next chapter.
The next chapter will be…a bit controversial.
But very funny.
I'm going to touch upon a topic that isn't often addressed. Ive seen it come up a couple of times on this site and the reception was good, so I'm not worried...but the next chapter is going to be a bit controversial, in a good way.
Kinda funny i have never seen this topic like three times…and im chronically online reading fanfiction on all sites lol.
-A glimpse into the mind of an average fanfiction author
Across all fanfic sites...the franchises with the most fanfics are almost always the same ones
(Naruto, Bleach, Harry Potter, Twilight, RWBY, Danmachi, etc.)
Harry Potter is literally the king of fanfiction lol. Pun intended.
...Some of them contain some massive pieces of stupidity.
Harry Potter, Twilight, RWBY being absolute garbage in my opinion.
My point is that some of them have such bad aspects, which is why there are so many fanfics about them.
Whether to correct, improve, or explore other aspects of the work.
Harry Potter, RWBY being the prime examples of this. (Exactly why i will do a RWBY fic lol)
Danmachi for me is a 50/50…good at almost everything but Bell as a protagonist is a pain in the ass.
A work can have a lot of good things going, but if the protagonist is someone like Bell or Issei... it's so fucking over.
It completely kills my interest in the work.
And this is when fanfics shine!
Alright, to wrap up this point, I'm going to talk a little bit about RWBY.
The first three seasons were good... then the creator, Monty Oum, died, and the series went to shit.
I'm not going to go into detail about CRWBY (crew that ran rwby after Monty passed) and everything they did, because i'd never finish.
The creator died and RWBY died with him....funny thing the dude looks like a RWBY character hahaha such a chad.
But something strange happened to me with RWBY, both the first time I watched the series and now that I've watched it again.
Objectively, I know it's trash, but subjectively, I like it...Haha.
And that's saying something, considering I'm a fucking chud regarding watching, reading or playing stories.
Even though they threw some woke nonsense and other wacky shit I didn't like.
I can't help but like the characters and the world, volume 9 I thought was a good idea, but a VERY BAD execution.
We'll see how things go with my RWBY fic...I learned a lot from this fanfic. I've already got the title and everything.
Anyways thanks for reading and see you in the next chapter.
