Everybody had entered the hellworld, a blazing world with molten rock as their sitting grounds. The skies were red, no clouds visible in the sky. All they saw in front of them..was the true entrance to the Queen's Throne.
"I've got into contact with another hero who will temporarily aid you." Kunomiya spoke to Kenji through telepathy.
Kenji understood as they all walked into the Throne, where Syphilis sat.
"You're here..!" Syphilis said as she stood up, her energy nearly sweeping them all away as she suppressed it.
"Greetings, Syphilis!" Kenji said as he bowed down, the rest looking weirdly at him.
"No need to be so formal, you're here to help me after all." Syphilis looked, her mood starting to change, getting angrier.
"That girl..Destiny..She's betrayed me and attempted to take my crown. I want you to defeat her. At worse, kill her. She has failed to commit treason, and she will suffer for not finishing the job." Syphilis cackled.
"Oh..but..I kinda have ice powers..? They won't exactly work here.." Aiko spoke sadly.
"Kunomiya told me everything. Kaito and Aiko, you will go under a different form of training. I'll explain it to you after the rest." Syphilis spoke.
Kenji spoke. "I'll do any form of training..if it means to stabilize this world." He said as he walked towards her, everybody looking in complete shock, Kazumi quickly springing to him, stopping him from taking anymore steps.
"Anyways, I'll tell you..about Hellworld's power."
"In the Hellworld, your abilities are the same but only if you can access the realm of energy here. If you can't access the energy, then you're pretty much finished.."
"So, how am I meant to use my ice..?" Aiko looked.
"Through harnessing Hell Energy." She said as her aura started flowing around her hands, creating the Hell Insignias.
"These…give you access to the realm of Hell Energy. You have to have it on you to use it, and it will merge with your abilities." Syphilis spoke as they both floated down to Aiko and Kaito.
"AZAZEL!!!" Syphilis shouted as her voice shook the realms.
Shiori looked. "Wonder who she's calling.." She thought until there was a huge explosion, Azazel appearing.
"Introduce yourself." Syphilis uttered.
"My name is Azazel." He said as his energy started overflowing.
"He will be your tour guide to Destiny. He knows this whole place like the back of his hand."
Azazel looked. "I mean..you kinda.."
"SILENCE!"
Azazel suddenly kept quiet, nodding.
"It's time for your training to commence." Syphilis spoke as she snapped her fingers, all of them getting sent across the Hellworld.
WITH AIKO AND KAITO
Syphilis had split her soul into multiple fragments, able to train everybody.
"Alright, so how do we use these Hell Insignias?" Aiko asked, ready to learn.
"Just imagine your soul..imagine it turning red. Imagine what spikes your rage the most, allow it to seep through the deepest cracks of your soul..effectively fusing it together!!" She laughed.
Aiko looked. "Will we be able to test it..?"
"DEMONS!" She shouted as smoke flared everywhere, a bunch of demons appearing.
Kaito stared. "Whatever it takes." He said as he started charging his energy, it flowing from a light blue, gradienting to a red.
"My energy…it's flowing.." He said as his eyes started changing, his hair starting to turn a crimson.
"To think one's power awakened so fast..I'm amazed.." Syphilis looked at Kaito.
Kaito started trying to launch an attack, the focused energy charging, lightning sparks flying with the flames, creating a vacuum wave, knocking down a few demons. He looked at his own hands, realizing that was his new ability.
"The power to manipulate the weather phenomena of the Hellworld, and mix it along with his own abilities.." Syphilis looked, now pointing at Aiko.
"Now, it's your turn."
Aiko looked, holding her chest tight, taking a deep breath, her ice slowly releasing, managing to freeze the Hellworld itself.
Syphilis' eyes widened as she stood up. "That is no ordinary ice..! That right there..was beyond ice since.."
Aiko looked up at Syphilis, completely confused.
"You haven't used the Hell Insignia yet…yet you're able to freeze the Hellworld..Are you aware of the phenomena across this realm..?" Syphilis spoke.
"No..Please, inform me.."
"In this world, weather is not a thing. You can't harness it. Ice shouldn't even be existent in this realm, yet you're able to freeze over the magmatic rocks.."
Aiko looked down, seeing her ice not evaporating, looking at the demons running at her, her energy shifting from a cold white to a pastel red.
Aiko looked as she took another breath, a cold crown appearing upon her face, freezing every demon with just her cold glare.
"This much energy..with just mortal energy..? She's a prodigy.." Syphilis looked, fearful of her strength.
Kaito and Aiko both looked now, enveloped in Hellish Energy.
"We're up to their level now. It's over for them…." They both spoke at the same time.
Syphilis smiled as she unsummoned the demons.
"Kaito and Aiko…"
"MAKE SURE TO MAKE THEM PAY!!" Syphilis shouted as they both finished.
WITH KAZUMI AND SHIORI
Azazel had arrived with the two of them, looking around as he sighed.
"I'm going to teach the Dark and Light Arts." He said as he got into position.
"You. Kazumi. You come up first." Azazel spoke as Kazumi started walking to him.
"With the power of the Shadow Avatar..you can surpass it's strength simply with it's own energy.."
"Really..? How..?"
"Do not compress your power. I can tell you've been holding back. There's something on your body that has been suppressing your abilities."
Kazumi looked at his bracelet. "But, I'll go berserk if I take it off."
Azazel spoke. "Then you need to control the Shadow Avatar."
"It's not that easy, y'know..That's the whole reason why Shiori is here..! She can help limit my abilities with her light powers." He said as he looked back, smiling.
Azazel sighed. "So what if we fought right now, and I allowed you to control the Avatar."
Kazumi looked in complete shock, jumping back as Azazel tried getting the first hit, quickly zooming behind him, kicking him in the back with his leg, sending him back a few inches.
"So, let's fight." He said as he looked at the bracelet, ripping it off his body, his energy starting to go out of control, roaring as he flew at Azazel.
Azazel laughed, summoning his blade. "Infernablade." He uttered as the blade caught fire, slashing Kazumi's chest wide open, the Shadow Avatar suddenly appearing to attack, failing as Azazel had the upper hand, jumping and evading across the battlefield.
"As long as you fall to rage, you will remain weak." Azazel said as he stopped Kaizen with one single finger.
"As long as you keep anger in your heart, the shadow will continue to devour you. You have to DEVOUR THOSE SHADOWS YOURSELF.." Azazel spoke as he grabbed his arm.
Kazumi's eyes widened, realizing what he said, his energy starting to grow even stronger, quickly jumping back.
"I'm starting to get what you're saying…" He said as his form started changing, becoming more human."
Azazel looked. "So, you're coming to accept yourself."
Kazumi looked, smirking as there was an explosion, Azazel not covering his eyes.
"Getting stronger in such a small amount of time. I'm surprised.." He looked as the dust suddenly disappeared, Azazel having to directly clash with Kazumi now, Azazel slowly getting pushed back.
"Maybe it's time for me to start trying." Azazel said as he started pushing, Syphilis appearing infront of the two of them, stopping them with just her presence.
"Ma'am- His training is complete, but I still need to train Shiori with the Light Arts." Azazel spoke.
"I'll take Kazumi now. You may teach Shiori." Syphilis spoke as she picked him up, teleporting away in an instant.
Shiori looked, walking forward. "The Light Arts.." She said as she spread her wings, her energy flowing.
"So you're aware of your power. But it can always grow beyond what it is right now." Azazel spoke.
"It can..? How..?" She looked, her eyes starting to glisten.
"I will teach you, Divine Resonance." He said as his form suddenly started changing, a domain of light opening, Azazel suddenly transforming into an angel.
"How..?" Shiori looked.
"It's my ability. One I was born with." Azazel looked as he started spreading his large wings, ascending.
"Those wings are the focus of your abilities. Most of them are based solely off those wings, but there's another ability you can harness." Azazel said as his halo started descending onto his head as he looked down at Shiori, pointing at it.
"Halo." Shiori stared blankly.
"Yeah, but it's way stronger than it looks..!" Azazel spoke.
"Well, I'll try my best." Shiori said as she started focusing her energy into her wings, deactivating them, her eyes suddenly glistening white.
"The power of adaptability..I sense it within you..Your strength is impeccable." Azazel spoke as he saw Shiori's energy starting to drain the domain of it's own energy, a halo forming on her head as she started ascending, her form looking way different from Azazel's, her hair turning white, having 6 wings instead of the regular large 2.
"You've managed it..I'm not surprised, since you were about to master it anyways." Azazel spoke as he ended the domain, looking around the Hellworld, transforming back into his demon form.
Syphilis reappeared. "I can sense her power. Her training is complete." She said as she grabbed her, vanishing as Azazel sighed.
"I wonder how Kenji and Kaira will perform.." Azazel sighed as he teleported away.
WITH KENJI AND KAIRA.
Kenji and Kaira had both looked at Syphilis and Azazel.
"Now, you two…You two are a special case." Syphilis spoke.
"The power of Kaira's talisman..It can be upgraded to allow more energy transfer, and to unlock new abilities for the both of you."
"But have you heard of reverse transfer..?"
Kenji and Kaira both looked at each other in confusion, then looking at Syphilis, completely lost.
"Alright. Reverse Transferral is when the talisman's possessed object reverses it's own energy back to the user. The one holding on."
Kaira looked. "My own energy..splits with Kenji..?"
"So, it's like a fusion..?" Kenji looked up.
"Yes! Your energies combine together, which can even birth new powers within you." Syphilis spoke.
Kenji looked as Kaira became a talisman, becoming the sword in his hand, holding her tight.
"So, is it some kind of automatic thing..?" Kenji asked.
"Yeah. Hold on." Syphilis said as she walked over, her hand glistening over Kaira, the talisman suddenly getting the "Hell" Kanji on it.
Kenji felt an overwhelming amount of power, his veins starting to glow red as he launched a slash, a red glistening projectile coming out of Kaira.
"Whoa..that felt..amazing.." Kaira spoke.
"It was like a surge.." Kenji looked.
"Hahaha!! Your power is already powerful enough as it is! My power wasn't even half of that itself…."
Kenji widened his eyes. "Is that so..? We could definitely defeat Destiny now.."
"Once this portal to Hellworld opens, I will connect each layer your friends are on. I will take you to her myself."
Kenji nodded. "I'm ready."
Syphilis put 2 hands up, pointing at where she wanted the portal to open, connecting it to the living world, 2 heroes suddenly walking in.
Kenji looked at the two of them. "Uhm, my name is Kenji..Nice to meet you two.."
"No need for nervousness, my name's Devin." He said as he pointed at his bow and arrows.
"I have no powers."
Kenji looked. "That's fine with me. Those arrows you have..they look very advanced anyways."
Kenji then looked at the other hero. "And your name is..?"
"Mason." The person looked.
Syphilis looked. "Crossbolt..Devin..Knockout..Mason." She spoke as she started opening up portals to the other layers of the Hellworld.
Aiko, Kaito, Kazumi and Shiori had all suddenly appeared. It was time to locate Destiny.
Syphilis had opened a portal to the living world, Kunomiya walking in without a need for the protective wear the rest of them were wearing.
"Over the course of your time training, there's been multiple sightings of Destiny. They say she's been building an army and plans to settle it…"
"WHERE?!" Syphilis' aura started overflaring now.
"In Aetheria." Kunomiya spoke.
"They chose there..to fight..ME?!" She said as her energy started spiking, going out of control as she opened a portal to Aetheria.
Kenji quickly prepared himself. "What's so bad about Aetheria..?"
Kunomiya spoke through the portal. "It's unexplainable right now." He said as they all walked through the portal to Aetheria.
IN THE LAND OF AETHERIA.
The sky was a crystalline purple..the ground - a pale brown. Destiny had appeared through a portal alone, waiting for Syphilis.
"So I seem to wait..for that failure of a queen. Why should I wait, I am no longer under her control. She never had control over me. I chose to think like this, I accepted all of my actions. I feel no fear, no compassion. No sympathy or empathy for my actions. Overall, I feel nothing.
All I want to see now..is Syphilis dead on the ground..
She is no queen..
She is no empress..
She is a fool, who simply thinks that she can rule a world."
She thought as she looked up at the clouds, seeing a portal open.
She saw Syphilis march in slowly, feeling a slight bit of fear from her angered foot steps, not shattering her dominant image, standing up.
"Oh, so you're here to challenge me." Destiny laughed.
"How pitiful." She said as she rolled her eyes, starting to walk towards her menacing aura.
Syphilis roared. "DESTINYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!"
She said as her infernal aura started flowing, dashing to Destiny as they both clashed with their elbows, their energy spreading all over the place.
Syphilis clearly had the speed advantage, dashing to the left of Destiny, doing a triple spin in the air, breaking her arm with a simple yet impeccable chop. Destiny looked, flipping her body, shooting Syphilis back.
"If you think something that simple will do something..THINK AGAIN!" She said as she got back up in an instant, dashing to Destiny, punching her in her stomach, using her Hellish energy to send her repelling back.
Destiny quickly rolled, sliding as she got up, using her left arm to launch attacks while trying to recover her right arm.
"You're easy to defeat.." Destiny said as she summoned her blade, slashing Syphilis in the old place where she scarred her last time, smiling.
"In the same place too!! How do you feel!!" Destiny laughed as she tried slashing her more times, Syphilis dodging the rest of the attacks, kicking Destiny in the face.
Syphilis quickly healed with her Hell Energy, punching the ground, revealing her own blade.
"HELLFORNIA! INFERNABLADE!" Syphilis shouted as she took out the blade, laughing as she launched a slash, Destiny watching as her body started slipping off of itself.
Syphilis stared. "I know you're not finished..I've already learnt about your army."
"AND WHO TOLD YOU ABOUT MY ARMY?!" Destiny shouted in complete fear, knowing she may have a counter.
"Why should I tell you." Syphilis smiled as she walked towards her again.
"I won't get too confident. I may chop your arm off..your leg..your foot..your hand.."
"I just want to make sure you suffer defeat at one's feet. Even if they're not mine, knowing I surpass you." She said as she got even closer to her know, her sword blazing with hellfire.
"Usually..I should not be the one mentioning these words..but.."
"JUDGEMENT!" Syphilis exclaimed as she lowered the sword, it's energy blowing Destiny towards an exploded piece of metal, the sky starting to slowly change colours.
Everybody in the Hellworld had felt the world tremble and shake in complete fear.
"She must be using her full strength." Kenji spoke, wondering about her.
Syphilis' sword started descending, slicing through Destiny's arm completely, severing it, blood shedding everywhere. The sword had suddenly faded away as Syphilis looked at her opponent.
"Unable to use your techniques. How will you win..?" Syphilis laughed, unsummoning her sword, turning around and starting to walk away.
"Even though you chose to betray me, you suffered that fate." Syphilis said as she felt 2 auras fly straight towards her, rolling her eyes.
But all of a sudden, 2 portals opened from different sides of Syphilis, Crossbolt and Knockout jumping out of the portals, clashing with the 2 that had just attempted to kill Syphilis.
Knockout had quickly started, coating his fist with telekinetic energy, slamming one of the assassinators away, Crossbolt using one of his arrows as a blade, striking them back.
"I applaud your attempts, Destiny!! But you don't realize the strength these mortals have.
DON'T UNDERESTIMATE THEM..THEY MIGHT CAUSE YOUR DEATH."
Destiny looked, holding her ripped off arm, sighing as she needed time to regenerate.
The two assassinators got angry, jumping back to Destiny in an attempt to heal her.
"So, these are the ones that believe in becoming the new Hellworld Ruler." Crossbolt sighed.
Destiny laughed. "You're funny for even thinking that I'd want to rule that false society." She said as she quickly sent a flying blast at Crossbolt, Knockout quickly jumping infront of the blast, deflecting it with all of his might.
"We didn't train to defeat you..but I don't care…" He said as he strained, the orb pushing him back, his feet nearly caving into the ground.
"SYPHILIS! SURELY THERE'S SOMETHING YOU CAN DO!" Crossbolt shouted.
Syphilis looked back. "He chose to do that. It's not my problem now." She said as she turned around.
Crossbolt looked, running at Destiny himself, launching multiple arrows, them all exploding, the assassinators both going after him now.
"You were trained…"
"Just to lose." Syphilis turned around, staring at the two of them, feeling a bit sad yet disappointed.
"If you give up now..you'll die."
Crossbolt looked as he slid, dodging an orb, doing parkour around them, dodging them by a single hair, even flipping into the air.
"So persistent, yet so weak." Destiny started laughing out loud, even though she had lost her arm.
"LOSING THIS ARM DOESN'T MATTER NOW, BECAUSE I'VE WON!!" She said as she started laughing manically.
Knockout looked at the orb, starting to push it even further now, destroying it as he started running, blasting 3 away before he had no more energy left to run.
Another portal opened, Kaito suddenly appearing.
"WHO IS THIS?! HE'S DEAD NOW!!" Destiny said as she launched attacks on him, but failed miserably.
Kaito walks. Forward. Slowly. Deliberately.
"You feel it now. Don't you, Crossbolt."
Crossbolt looked back, looking up at Kaito.
"You haven't felt this emotion for. This is beyond anything that you've ever felt. No animal, human, monster or God will ever make you feel this emotion..
That I will make you feel." Kaito said as he continued walking towards him, hatred birthed in his eyes.
"You don't know how long I've been waiting. Seconds. Minutes. Hours. Days. Months. Years. CENTURIES. Just so..I could get back..to see the one responsible."
"Fighting on the same side will not atone for the sin you committed." Kaito's face was devoid of emotion. There was nothing else you could see in his face unless it was raw darkness. There was nothing else he could feel.
He leans in close, looking directly at Crossbolt, starting to walk closer, Crossbolt trying to run from his past.
"You won't escape the past until I pierce your future." Kaito said as he continued walking him down.
"With each breath you breathe, each step you walk, each time you blink, every second you exist..I will be there. I will be at your end."
All Crossbolt could see was a Hellborn demon, chasing him down. He was too weak from all the dodging he had to do, leaving him crawling on the ground, completely defenseless. Even Destiny felt fear from the presence she was receiving from Kaito. A black rage.
Kaito unsheathed his sword, a bloody aura pouring from it, a blue liquid dropping from it's properties.
"The Azure Blood of Takumi." He said as his sword started flowing, the Hellworld Energy in his blade turning blue, forming a liquid property as Kaito lowered it onto the ground.
"After this battle..trust me. Even swear on my soul if I must."
"I WILL KILL YOU."
Kaito said as he looked through the lightning storm, ending it.
"My turn." He said as his hand started releasing lightning, blasting one of the assassinators, looking with a dark stare as he used Hell energy to start exploding their organs, forcing them to be paralyzed, shocking their body beyond visibility.
The other assassinator looked in fear, quickly taking their blade, killing themself on the spot, leaving Destiny on her own.
"Damnit.." She said as she fell off the metal, her hand touching the ground, opening her multiple portals, a 10th of her army appearing. Crossbolt and Knockout were slowly back up, preparing to fight.
Crossbolt looked in fear, deciding to keep quiet, completely traumatized as he took out his tanto, starting to slice down these Nameless.
Syphilis looked. "Kaito..He's incredible.." She smiled as she took out her blade, starting to slice down the Nameless.
Kaito looked, using his hands, creating a storm of lightning all around all of the Nameless, making them all slowly drop as he burnt them all with the side effects of the Hell energy.
Destiny laughed, lifting herself up with her left arm, starting to weakly walk over to Kaito.
"YOU'VE STARTED TO FOIL MY PLANS…I'M NOT SCARED OF YOU..!!" Destiny looked as she launched a blast at Kaito, a slash in spacetime opening, another portal taking place, Aiko slowly walking out now, her cold blue eyes showing no emotion.
Aiko started walking, blocking multiple attacks Destiny sent at her.
"My question is..why did you even come here alone. Completely unprotected."
Destiny laughed. "YOU THINK I'D COME HERE ON MY OWN!!! AWAKEN, MARAKI!! AWAKEN, MAKIRA!!" She laughed as 2 swirling portals appeared, the demon fighters emerging from their own hell.
Aiko sighed as Kaito stood next to her.
"We'll take them on. Together." Kaito looked at Aiko.
Aiko nodded. "Let's do this." She said as she took a deep breath out, her ice freezing over Aetheria, Kaito slowly walking alongside Aiko.
Maraki looked, dashing to Aiko, trying to punch her but failing, Aiko grabbing her fist, slowly freezing it before throwing her across the battlefield.
Kaito looked at Makira, using his Hell Energy to start creating a storm of ashes, flames and lightning.
"Devour, my storm…" He said as he summoned his bleeding blade towards him, slashing Makira's arm, performing a clash.
"YOU'RE NOT COOL!!" Makira shouted as she gave up on her arms, trying to kick Kaito, sending him back a bit, but he didn't care.
"You caught me at a bad time, you know…" Kaito sighed as he created an orb of energy, throwing it at Makira, her leg destroying the energy completely, running to Kaito and slamming his head into the ground, then lifting him up and then sending him flying into a mountain.
Aiko then looked as her ice crown started glowing, her energy starting to overflow, Maraki starting to freeze completely.
Maraki looked at Syphilis in complete fear, jumping back, completely scared of what she would do.
Syphilis then locked eyes with her.
"Part from me, for I never knew you." Syphilis laughed as Aiko was now on Maraki's case, about to slash her again, Maraki blocking it, trying to punch Aiko multiple times, the ice stopping it from ever reaching her.
"My ice is eternal..it will never reach me." She said as she suddenly sprung into the air, launching an ice glacier directly at Maraki, keeping her trapped inside of it.
Aiko then looked back at her brother, Kaito, speeding over to him, spinning midair, dashing to Makira, slapping her hands together and launching a blast, Makira kicking it, running to Kaito, preparing to kill him.
"You won't get to Kaito.." Aiko said quietly, moving even faster now, sliding on her ice, jumping into the sky as she propelled her legs, charging an ice beam, launching it right on Makira's leg.
Makira laughed, her body starting to burn completely. "I AM HELLFIRE ITSELF!! BOW TO MY IMMENSE STRENGTH!" She said as she ran to Aiko, her leg getting stopped as she fell over, launching a large blast of hellfire directly at them.
Kaito looked, even though he was bloody, managing to manipulate the hellfire.
"This lady is annoying me…" Kaito spoke, slowly standing up.
Azazel suddenly dashed, smiling as he grabbed Makira by the arm, throwing her away.
"You guys can finally relax because it's time for me to play." He said as he started stretching his arms, launching himself directly at Makira, drop kicking her once again, landing on the ground.
Makira got sent flying, rolling back to Destiny.
"Please..lend me your strength…I'm not powerful enough to take on all of them…" She looked at Destiny.
Destiny nodded. "Fine. I grant you my strength." She said as she grabbed her shoulder, putting energy into it, her entire body getting a large boost in abilities, dashing to Azazel, barraging him with punches.
Azazel quickly used his abilities to block them, charging his fist with Hell energy to block attacks more efficiently.
Makira kept on punching him. "EVERYTIME YOU BLOCK, I KEEP GETTING STRONGER! YOU'RE SIMPLY MY SLAVE FOR TESTING!!" She laughed, losing all sense of sanity, punching Azazel in the face…but it did nothing.
Azazel looked at the punch itself, snickering and bursting into laughter, moving his head back into place as he punched her in the gut, speeding and slamming his fist into her nose, sending her flying once again.
Syphilis watched the fight go on, watching as Knockout was practically knocked out already, completely fatigued.
"It's time.." Syphilis said as she started walking towards Destiny, the skies slowly fading to red with each step.
Destiny looked, managing to stand up now, her energy starting to flare at it's highest output now.
"SYPHILIS!! I WILL KILL YOU!!" She said as she started walking, summoning her sword, but then she suddenly noticed. Syphilis was standing still.
"IT'S MY TIME TO ATTACK!" She said as she ran to Syphilis, about to stab her, feeling a thrust and a pierce.
"I don't think you've realized that you've lost." A voice was heard.
A cloak had flown, a sword started glimmering. Kenji had appeared, taking on Destiny head-to-head, quickly pushing her back with Kaira.
"Those hell powers have really taught us alot so far..!" Kenji laughed as he started spinning Kaira around, his energy starting to shift, turning Kaira into the Hellblade.
"HELLBLADE!" He shouted as he ran with Kaira across the battlefield to Destiny, launching a large projectile, making it unblockable for Destiny, launching 9 more projectiles before he launched a slash that was about to slice her in half.
Destiny looked at it, using her powers to try and hold it, getting pushed back in the process, Kenji looking at Kaira.
"LET'S MAKE THIS STACK! FULL POWER!!" Kenji shouted as he started stacking multiple slashes together, all firing towards Destiny, who had to block them all.
Destiny looked at Kenji. "ALL WE NEED…IS THE WORLD EATER'S POWER…AND WE WILL WIN!!! THAT'S IT!!" She started laughing as if she was under some kind of euphoria, dopamine getting rushed around her body as she kept on holding onto the projectiles, barely trying anything anymore.
Kenji looked, holding his blade. "It's not that easy. I don't care how many limbs she's lost."
Destiny quickly got back up, fully regenerating, her energy starting to envelop her in a cocoon of energy.
Everybody looked in complete shock as a symbol started growing on the cocoon, crystallizing it as it shattered, revealing Destiny's true form with 6 arms, 4 horns and 6 wings, symbolizing the divinity of an angel.
"WITH THESE EYES…I CAN SEE EVERYTHING!!" She said as she opened all 8 of her eyes now, quickly breaking all of the projectiles, looking at Kenji, about to jab him with her hand, Shiori suddenly dashing in, piercing her right hand with a light pillar, starting to burn it.
Kazumi appeared from the shadows, holding her to the ground completely, making sure she couldn't move, launching shadows around her arms as well, keeping her completely trapped.
Destiny broke free from those chains easily, Kenji quickly jumping back, Syphilis walking over slowly.
"So this is your form that you never wanted to show to me. How foolish." She said as she summoned her blade again, walking over to her.
"My blade has grown tired…of your arrogance." She said as it started flaring up, it's energy growing even stronger than before, compressing itself in one slash, Destiny's power accelerating her regeneration, Syphilis slashing her multiple times.
"I don't care if you continue to regenerate. I will choose to end your life." She said as she continued slashing, even though it amounted to nothing.
Azazel sped up to Makira, grabbing her limbs and slamming her onto the ground., but in her desperation, she charged up a forbidden technique from the Hellworld, slashing Azazel, leaving a deep gash across his chest, Kazumi suddenly appearing and flying up into the air with him.
"What kind of technique-" Kazumi looked at Azazel's chest as it started bleeding rapidly.
Makira laughed, trying to jump up to them, Shiori grabbing her by the neck.
"Devastation."
She uttered as Makira suddenly started cracking and glowing, exploding into light, Shiori losing all of her energy with that single attack, Kazumi swooping down to save her.
"Finally..they're both gone.." Kazumi sighed, looking down at Kaito and Aiko.
Destiny felt all of the slashes, feeling an immense amount of pain with each slash, but barely being able to function mentally to be able to speak.
She had no mouth, and yet she could not scream.
Destiny's eyes had all rollen back, her energy starting to leave her body as her transformation started floating away into crystals, Syphilis choosing not to launch her final attack.
"You're too weak for me to finish you off. It's pitiful, seeing you at your lowest. It's like your body can't even function anymore. Your eyes rolled back, your body frozen…everything just done." Syphilis looked in complete disappointment.
"You chose to betray me..and now you suffer the consequences of your betrayal. Now, you witness yourself at your complete lowest."
"You've returned to nothing." Syphilis sighed.
Everybody looked at Syphilis' interrogation, noticing something was off.
"I just keep on saying the same things now..I've already mentioned my point. There's no reason for me to continue speaking to the undead. Especially one that can't even hear." Syphilis said as she started walking away slowly.
But randomly, they all looked up, the sky starting to go from the dark red from Syphilis to a lightning purple, a silhouette descending.
Destiny looked up, her consciousness suddenly reviving from her nullified state.
"Let me return to you…my goddess…" Destiny looked, still under euphoria.
The silhouette continued to descend, looking at the defeated Destiny, holding her hands lightly.
"I'm here to save you…Destiny." It said as Syphilis was suddenly slashed multiple times, sent through a portal back to the Hellworld.
"Those who seek to senselessly fight my underlings..answer to me." The silhouette spoke as they clapped their hands, everybody in the vicinity getting sent back to their own world.
IN THE LIVING WORLD.
Kaito and Crossbolt landed together in the outskirts of Umi City, where they were both alone.
Crossbolt looked at Kaito's bleeding body, running away.
He had suddenly got up on his feet, catching up to him within a few seconds, staring directly at him, holding his blade.
"You're lucky. I've decided to keep you alive…it's what Takumi would've wanted anyways."
"Takumi…I hope you're seeing this." He looked up, wondering as he stared at Crossbolt, walking away with his hands in his pockets.
Aiko, Kenji and the rest had all crashed back with Kunomiya and Daa'va in the base.
"What the HELL happened.." Kunomiya said as he put up a healing barrier.
He started counting heads. "Where the hell is Kaito…?"
Daa'va spoke. "I can sense his presence..He's in the neighboring city. Umi City."
Kunomiya scratched his chin. "I wonder why he's there…"
Kaira was the first to wake up, turning into her human form, looking at Kunomiya. "There was somebody bad there..! You won't believe it!!"
"What do you mean..I won't believe it.." Kunomiya wondered.
"Destiny was completely defeated by Syphilis.."
"Yeah.." Kunomiya squinted.
"But then the sky started changing colours like..every 5 minutes..!!" Kaira shouted.
"What colours did it change to..?" Kunomiya sighed.
"The Queen made it turn Red…but then it changed to like..a purple..goldish colour..?" Kaira started thinking.
"Purple..gold..It can't be.." Kunomiya spoke in complete shock.
Daa'va started thinking. "I feel like..I'm aware of what you're thinking.." He said, staring at Kunomiya.
Kunomiya spoke. "Daa'va, what does it look like when a CELESTIAL APPEARS AT A CERTAIN AREA?"
Daa'va started thinking, recalling back in his ancient memories. "The skies turn between a mix of purple and gold..then they drop down like some kind of silhouette..but they can choose who they reveal their form to. And what form they identify as."
Kaira looked. "The same colours from when they appeared..!"
"Tell me, Kaira, did they do anything that may indicate what powers they may possess in the first place..?"
Kaira spoke. "They did have some kinda thing that was weird..They managed to slash everybody within their radius…"
Kunomiya quickly stood up, grabbing his laptop, starting to perform his own research.
Daa'va looked at Kunomiya's laptop. "Do you really believe THAT of all things will give you all the knowledge that you need to know..?"
Kunomiya sighed. "You're not wrong.." He said as he put the laptop away.
"So, mighty World Eater, why don't you tell us about the powers these celestials possess."
"I can do that." He said as he lifted his hand, his astral powers creating a projection.
"The Celestials are a group of mortals who have ascended beyond mortality and were given the role to protect the multiverse and it's timelines if they ever collapsed from an evil. Personally, I don't like the Celestials."
"Is it out of jealousy because you aren't one..?" Kaira wondered.
"No. I wouldn't want to be a Celestial. I am beyond their power anyways. I can tell you about each one.."
"The first one we have is Celestia..They call her the Goddess of the Multiverse…they say she gave people their powers, and that's why everybody is alive right now."
"The second one is Tensa. They call him the Harbinger. They say he is one of the strongest out of all of them, able to use his powers at a stronger extent than the rest of them."
"The third one.."
"I don't know who the third one is…"
"But I know that there are multiple of them."
"So you only know 2. And the 3rd one, you don't even remember..?!" Kunomiya shouted.
Daa'va sighed. "It's been a while..I still remember being in that seal.."
"Are you even aware of their powers..? At all..?" Kunomiya spoke.
"Well, like Kaira said! One of theirs was slashing..but I don't think that's their main ability.."
Aiko slowly got up. "It was from a large distance…with just a clap of it's hands..it was able to send people back to their own world.."
Daa'va's eyes widened as he stood up. "One that sends people away with a clap of it's hands..one that is able to slash people…"
"You know..there was once one girl..She had the powers of darkness…but she was rejected to be a Celestial…I remember…I was sat in the hall of Judgement..where they analyzed all of her powers..her actions…but her name…"
"Come on now, you clearly MUST remember her name if you have that weird accurate memory thing..!"
"Her name…I remember it now. It was.."
"OBLIVIA."
