Japan, Tokyo.
Skyscrapers clustered and towered, traffic was dense, and tourists and pedestrians on the streets came and went endlessly, with an extremely bustling human flow.
This was originally an ordinary day in Tokyo, this international metropolis.
Suddenly—
*BOOM!*
From the sky, a thunderous roar that shattered heaven and earth was heard. The glass in the tall buildings instantly shattered, and the earth shook several times. Meanwhile, many people fell to the ground in fear, blood seeped from their ears, and their faces were filled with terror and confusion.
They had no idea what was happening. Lightning in broad daylight, but could the sound of thunder be that massive?!
Not just Tokyo—
This deafening roar spread across the entire world. The roar was even heard in other realms, and instantly, the sky drastically changed, day and night began to alternate continuously.
Countless experts with supernatural powers were all shocked and locked their gazes onto the sky. The source of the upheaval was a void higher than Heaven.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
The Underworld, New Devil King Castle.
"The Three Realms, which have been calm for so long, are they going to become turbulent again?"
Sirzechs Lucifer, the head of the Four Devil Kings of the Underworld, sighed and said.
"Someone! Give the order, recall all three other Devil Kings. The Devil Army stationed on the borders of the Underworld is to be on standby at all times!"
"Yes, Lord Lucifer!"
A devil servant replied, then immediately turned to relay Sirzechs' command.
"Hopefully, all of this is just my excessive worry."
Sirzechs' eyes gathered blood-red Power of Destruction, piercing through the Underworld's barrier, trying to investigate what was truly happening in the void far above Heaven.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Kyoto, a certain residence.
"What exactly is happening?!"
"After waiting for thousands of years, no matter what happens, there must be no mistakes whatsoever."
A black-haired girl with pale skin frowned as she gazed at the sky. The nine pure white tails behind her continuously swayed, as if indicating that her owner was not as calm as she appeared.
"Kidouji, order the youkai to act cautiously these days."
"Understood, Hagoromo Gitsune-sama..."
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Onmyō Agency.
"The position of the stars has changed..."
The Head of the Hall, Kurahashi Genji, continued to use an astrolabe to perform divination, wanting to know what was truly happening.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Just as devils, gods, youkai, and humans were all extremely wary and confused.
Suddenly—
*CRACK!*
The sky suddenly cracked like glass, and an incredibly dazzling light emanated from the huge fissure, hundreds of times brighter than the longest midday light. In an instant, countless beings investigating it reflexively squinted their eyes slightly.
The next moment, a gigantic golden list emanating majesty and solemnity flew out from the crack.
"What is this?!"
Both ordinary humans, as well as gods, youkai, and devils, could all clearly see this extraordinary giant list.
"Could this be a mysterious artifact left by the Biblical God, or a natural treasure formed between heaven and earth?!"
Such thoughts flashed through the minds of many powerful beings. Upon seeing this list, they suddenly found it a little difficult to suppress the greed in their hearts, and began to become restless.
At this moment, someone moved first.
A fallen angel with ten black wings on his back suddenly attacked, rushing towards the golden list in the sky.
"That's Kokabiel, one of the Executives of Grigori!"
"Such a prominent figure actually attacked, it seems this list has nothing to do with us anymore."
"If it falls into Grigori's hands, the Underworld and Heaven might not remain silent."
"Indeed..."
"..."
Someone quickly recognized the attacker, and they began to discuss.
"We cannot let Grigori get it!"
Sirzechs in the Underworld and Michael in Heaven, thought in unison, and at the same time, prepared to intercept.
"This is mine!"
Kokabiel saw the golden list almost within reach, and a satisfied smile appeared on his sinister face. He even began to plan how to use this list as the trigger for a new god-devil war.
However, the next second—
The golden list subtly emitted an extremely terrifying aura, which instantly made Kokabiel's entire body feel cold. Before he could even react.
*SWISH!*
Several rays containing immensely destructive power burst forth from the golden list. Wherever the rays passed, everything melted away, as if they were capable of annihilating everything in this world.
As if to judge and destroy all who underestimated the List!
"Azazel, save me!!!"
Kokabiel let out a hoarse cry for help. When the golden list launched its attack, he understood that with his power, he absolutely could not withstand this terrifying assault.
"This idiot!"
Azazel looked at Kokabiel, who was about to perish in the sky, with frustration.
However, he did not move.
The terrifying attack launched by this mysterious list, even if he were to step forward to save him, it would only add one more corpse.
"Kokabiel is surely dead!"
Shiva, the supreme God of Indian Mythology, the God of Destruction, declared Kokabiel's ultimate fate.
Sure enough—
"No!!!"
In Kokabiel's unwillingness, he was instantly annihilated by the golden rays, leaving not the slightest trace.
Witnessing this scene, all experts who had greed in their hearts dared not act rashly anymore.
Kokabiel, who possessed power on par with a Devil King, could already be called a first-class expert in this world, yet he was so easily annihilated by the mysterious list without the slightest resistance.
After the golden List judged and punished the underestimator, the List began to slowly unfurl.
Immediately, an overwhelming power spread between heaven and earth, making the hearts of humans and devil gods no longer have the slightest desire to resist.
