[Demon Continent, Demon Queen's castle]
Inside a room with dim light, Kaido was somehow looking up at some documents for awhile as he moved from one section to another
As he did so however his movements soon stiffened up when he suddenly felt a foreign presence inside the room
Just as he expected Asuto who wore a black armor was standing behind him by a few steps
As he felt this presence, Kaido on the other hand soon returned to his usual calm state as he begun to speak when he opened his mouth
"So are you going to attack me or your waiting for something else?" Asked Kaido
In response to that Asuto however moved to a chair nearby sofa as he said
"I'm here to talk..."
"Talk? You? You want to talk? Now that's new" commented Kaido
"I'm quite serious here... Is there anything wrong with what I said?" Asks Asuto
"Wrong? No! It's only that, it's quite unexpected"
"Unexpected indeed"
After that without looking back, Kaido soon started to walk up towards a desk as he asks
"So? Pave the way... What do you want?"
Hearing Kaido said that, Asuto soon also talked about stuff that he wanted to talk
"The time is near... Destruction and death cannot be escaped, no matter who you are or what you are, none shall escape it" said Asuto
"And your point is?" Asked Kaido
"I want you to reconsider and join us... With your skills, your practically destruction itself... Except for death, your quite powerful in your own way"
"Join you? What a farce... What do you mean join you?... When I was nearly killed, I fought my way to survive, who among you helped? None right? So is there any reason for me to join you?" Asked Kaido
"Think it through... I'm giving you a chance to survive the incoming second coming, when he arrives, none can withstood him"
"When he arrives... Who's he exactly? I'm just quite curious" asked Kaido
"What I said to you is enough for your mortal mind, you shouldn't poke anywhere deeper that involves the gods"
"Gods? Now your including them? Well that's weird... What's next? Are you going to make something else join your vocabulary?" Asked Kaido as he took a feather pen and held it tightly
Hearing Kaido's words, Asuto didn't seemed affected by emotional means at all, if given it really seemed Asuto was quite serious on taking in Kaido no matter the cost
"Your foolishness and philosophy greatly went beyond my expectations... Just like what I heard, you are arrogant"
"So all in all, you want me to be subservient to your so called the one who will end it all?" Asked Kaido
"As a matter of fact yes"
At that mention a feather pen suddenly streak past him as Asuto tilted his head by a slight margin
"What are you doing? Are applying violence to your actions now?" Asked Asuto as he saw Kaido has suddenly thrown a feather pen towards him
"Subservient... I don't plan on becoming subservient to anyone not even to your god or somewhat" said Kaido
Soon after he then walked over and sits at the opposite chair facing towards Asuto
"The current situation I have is quite... Nice... Not subservient to anyone or anything at all, I construct my own plan, no one ever dictates me, and especially when I say so... They will follow... So tell me why would I submit to your high being?"
With that question Asuto suddenly leaned on the chair as he said
"Because what's going to happen will be irreversible, no matter how lofty of a presence you are, you'll always be an ant infront of him"
Hearing that even Kaido seemed amused
"Ant? Me being seen as an ant? Ah! The irony... Hahahahaha!" He laughed
"Am I that insignificant? I'm quite hurt..." Added Kaido
"It is as you think it is" replied Asuto
"Is that so? I see" said Kaido
Soon after the room once more turned silent as both Asuto and Kaido seemed to have a moment of silence together
With a sighed coming from Kaido, the atmosphere inside the room suddenly turned chillier as the breeze that swept by was so cold that anyone would get sick just by being poured down by it
Not only that but Kaido was also spreading out his murderous intent as if a fight or a brawl might broke out at any moment
But contrary to his expectation, Asuto seemed so relax on his sit as he observed Kaido
"Your not alarmed?" Asks Kaido
"Alarmed? Why would I? Does a lion ever be alarmed when an ant was intimidating them? Nope right? That's only shows how much the gap in strength on two sides are" said Asuto
"Based on your words... I presume your the lion and I'm the ant?" Asks Kaido with a chilly expression
"Exactly"
At that moment Kaido took some time as he became silent and think his way through on how to get as much information from Asuto
Even though he's goal was to kill Asuto, it never hurts to be cautious to the person that Asuto serves
With a thought Kaido soon leaned back on his chair as he looked up and asked
"Tell me Asuto... Have you ever felt despair? Loss? Or inability to do anything despite your power?"
"Actually I've felt them long before you did, those sufferings were also the reason why I'm doing this"
"Is that so?"
"It is as it is" replied Asuto
With that Kaido leaned over as he said to Asuto
"The one you serve... Does he gave you the right to do all this?"
"It's my decision to make" replied Asuto
Hearing that Kaido simply nodded as if understanding what he actually said
At that Kaido suddenly asked a question which immediately somehow caught Asuto's attention
"What if I refuse? I refuse to be subservient to a person at all?" Asked Kaido with a serious expression
"Then all I can say is that your a fool, well it won't affect me that much, plus I just came here to atleast check it out whether I can convince you to join us or not... So tell me why would I be affected at all?" Asked Asuto in desdain
At that Kaido seemed to heard something quite funny as he started to chuckle on his own seat as he said
"How do you like if I kill you now? Will it affect anything?" He asked
At that question Asuto clearly got affected as his movements seemed to froze a little and instantly became wary of Kaido
"What? Cat got your tongue? Why aren't you answering? Are you really that affected when I say that I will kill you?" Asked Kaido
"No... I'm just cautious, after all between the both of us, we both know that neither of us backs down to any of our claims at all" said Asuto
At that Kaido suddenly said
"Do you really have the right to be complacent? Are you that confident? Or are you just overestimating yourself?"
"Overestimating? No I'm just confident that whatever you throw at me right now, I would still be able to pin you down... Your power an my power is way different... I'm stronger than you, better than you, and especially dangerous than you... So why would I ever cower to a person who has the least of experience when doing this kind of things?" Asks Asuto
At that Kaido replied
"Is quite simple... Because I'm much more smarted than you, in terms of everything, I may not be able to outdone you, but if we're talking about between both of us on who is smarter... Then all I can say is that I'm leagues way above you"
At that Asuto seemed to feel something off about Kaido as he slowly observed his surroundings
"What? Alarmed? You never know... Maybe I've been leading you all this time to reveal as much as possible" said Kaido with a smirk on his face
"You...are you trying to make a fool out of me?" Asks Asuto
"May or may not be the case... I'm just talking to you here, and if I may have made out of a fool of you... Then all I can say is that your an idiot"
"....."
At that Kaido then suddenly said something that actually changed the mood of Asuto
"I've researched your energy type and I found out that it's a void energy... A really rare type of energy... Just what did you pay to obtain such power?" Asks Kaido
"So you knew?" Asked back Asuto
"I knew it the moment I became curious of it... But what of it is to you? It's not like your cornered or something" answered Kaido
With that Asuto's expression yu Ned grimmer than ever before as he talked to Kaido
"Looks like you've done your research..."
"Indeed... Thanks for the two weeks of waiting that I have so much leeway to know about you" said Kaido
"....."
"Based on where this is going, I'm guessing that your going to do something big in that voided space of yours... And if my speculations is right then perhaps I might need to sabotage it..."
With that Kaido then thought of something
"The void... It's quite a marvel right? If I kill you there, no one would ever notice, no one would ever recognize you... Especially that your life was supposed to end long time ago"
At that mention Asuto's attention was finally caught as he stood up in alarm and glared at Kaido
Felt threatened Asuto pulled out his sword that was glowing purple and swung it towards Kaido
Not dating to block it, Kaido immediately shifted his position elsewhere to dodge Asuto's attack and counter on its own
With lightning coiling around his arm, Kaido immediately punched out his arm towards Asuto causing a huge explosion to rung out that even blew off the whole walls that was supporting the room, thus damaging the castle once more
When the dust became clear, one could see that Kaido's arm was injured as cuts showed up all over his arm
"You move fast" complimented Kaido
As for Asuto he was actually surprised that Kaido was able to react to his sudden attack as he looked at the sword that he used to block his strikes
For a moment even Asuto himself felt numbed from that punch as he said
"Well you reacted fast too" he said as form of compliment towards Kaido
When Asuto said that however his expression turned chilly as he added as few more words
"But... Your too carefree"
When Asuto said that, Kaido on the other hand smiled as he said something that stunned Asuto
"Could say the same to you"
At that moment five cloaked figures sprung out fr the shadows as they surrounded Kaido from all direction and pointed their arsenals at his vital points
At the same time Aileene, Argos, and Fengris surrounded Asuto and completely pinned him to his place, while Belial, larval, Hepta, Sylvia, Seralyn, and Marxcus surrounded the five cloaked figures
Seeing this formation that might end up in a bloody battle, Asuto then asked
"Is this your answer? Are you going to oppose me till the end?"
At that Kaido haughtily replied
"I was never on your side to begin with, you are going to do something big, and all I have to do is kill you to finish it... If you want war, then war you shall have... I never backed down from any challenge, not the gods, not the heroes, and especially not you" said Kaido
At that moment Asuto smirked as he said
"I'll remember this"
With that Asuto started casting something under his breath in order to immediately escape from that place since he doesn't have the time to fight them yet
But when he somehow casted something Kaido soon fired off a streak of black flame towards him which cancelled his casting
"Don't think I'll let you cast that... If you want to escape then you'll have to do better than that"
With that Asuto suddenly smiled as he said
"Don't underestimate me"
In a flash his aura grew which blew off Argos, Aileene, and Fengris forcing them to retreat few steps back as Asuto released much of his power that he haven't used for a very long time
Just like that he seemed to have surpassed the aura of the Calamity Class Beings when 50% of their power was released
With forceful method he created a rift which engulfed the five cloaked figures and created a rift behind him
Whole activating his aura, he soon started entering the void as he looked back and said
"You'll regret this"
But contrary to his expectations Kaido replied
"Sure thing Asuto Primo Yuusha (the first hero)"

With a shocked expression Asuto soon disappeared from everyone's sight as it left everyone stunned by the power that he showed you them
Without delaying anything Kaido soon gave out his order
"Seralyn, prepare for a huge raid, gather any strongest units from different tribes and clans, remember only the strong clans... We can't afford to let them grew their numbers due to our cannon fodders,We will pour everything in this raid..."
At his command Seralyn immediately issued a decree and let the vassals do their jobs, at the same time just like pre-planned Kaido also let Aileene, Argos, and Fengris gather units from their own species
"We will see between a fight of two darkness... Who will live and who will die... It's all or nothing"
