I walked to the Holy Temple and opened the doors, walking inside. I heard the organs playing and the people looking back at me and Fukami. I noticed an Exorcist at the podium and she smiled at us.
"Welcome! Have you two come to join us for today's service. Today we are talking about the renewal of spirit. We shall renew our spirit to become right with God and the Messiah. We-"
"Shut up." I said then heard the people gasp and murmur to each other in shock.
"All of you are Fallen Angels who praise God. Worship the Messiah. My parents were no different despite not being Fallen Angels. They loved me even though I am what I am and they died for something they had no control over. I hate all of you Fallen Angels. I'll kill you..and everyone associated." I said then summoned the Armageddon.
"Tatsuya...these humans. You can convert them, don't you think it would be better to destroy just the targets?" Fukami asked.
"They are all the same. Worthless trash, hypocrites because I now truly understand that God would never allow the innocent to die in such a way and I know Anti-God wouldn't kill without reason despite being the ultimate evil." I said then walked forward and dragged the blade of my sword along the ground. "You all aren't praising God...You're praising a False God or should I say...A Fallen Goddess...A better term would be the Antichrist.."
"Heavenly Father please save this man's soul..! He's the Antichrist! If there's any good in you, please save his soul!" A woman prayed.
I chuckled and everyone looked at me. I placed my hand on my face as I chuckled then laughed evilly. I stopped laughing and my eyes shined brightly. I smirked and removed my hand from my face. "God isn't answering your calls for a reason...Michael isn't saving you...The Messiah isn't coming to get you out of this mess."
The knights of the Temple readied their weapons and Fukami placed a hand on her hip then sighed and smiled. She closed her eyes.
"I'm no Antichrist, Satan forbid me from being branded as one. I am a Monster...yes...I am an Avenger. I may fight alongside the Demon Lords of Hell, but I won't fight against the Angels of Heaven unless I absolutely have to. Anyone who stands in my way...shall perish by my hands. The Fallen Angels are my one true enemy and I won't stop until they are all dead." I said then held my hand out. "Kill them all. Don't let a single one escape."
"As you wish, Demon Lord." Fukami said then summoned a black and pink rapier then dashed ahead, killing every person in the temple.
The screams of terror in the temple was music to my ears. I noticed a few women trying to escape and swung my sword in their direction, sending a cutting wave towards them. The cutting wave sliced them in half and I turned my attention to the Exorcist. I vanished and she looked around in fear. I appeared behind her and shoved my sword through her body and she grunted lightly. Blood leaked out from her mouth and I looked at her as she slowly died. I took my sword from her body and she fell forward then collapsed on the floor.
Fukami flipped her hair and sighed, seeing her attire all bloody. "Ugh and I just washed the armor part of my dress. Back to the cleaners we go. I guess. So uhm...do you truly plan to kill every last Fallen Angel alone? Even Sanvi Sorthrus and Sora Sorthrus?"
"If that is what I must do to gain my absolute revenge, I will do just that. I will have no one standing in my way...not even you." I said then walked off. "Also...why don't I hear their voices anymore..?"
"Because...They have sent their best warriors of their respective houses to assist you. With us here, you won't have to rely on a dream state to speak to them. Think of us as Incarnations of the Demon Lords." Fukami smiled as she followed me.
"I guess I'll allow you all to assist me. If you are all Incarnations of the original Demon Lords, you all should be just as powerful as them correct..?" I asked.
"Yep, I believe we should be Incarnates of their Prime State. So Asmodeus in her Prime should be just as strong as Lucifer. So I'm just as powerful as the warrior Lucifer sent to assist you." Fukami said.
"Nice to know. Let's stop wasting time and hurry along. Armageddon is itching for more blood to spill." I said.
"Yes yes, I'm right behind you." Fukami said. "But we can't just have you go out there dressed like that, a proper Demon Lord needs a proper attire."
I stopped walking and looked at Fukami then looked ahead. I snapped my fingers and changed my entire outfit to match me. I wore black top, trousers, and gloves. Over the first layer of clothing, I wore black armor and a black cape with a white and black fur collar and a red inside. I wore a black eyepatch over my left eye. "There..." I said then walked ahead. The Crest of Arcane was engraved into my armor and the Crest of Hayashi appeared on the middle of my cape.
Fukami smiled and followed me. "There we go~ Now let's go find our allies and kick some ass!~"
As we travelled to the next Holy Temple, we spotted a woman crouched down, poking a dead Fallen Angel with a stick. I looked down at her and crossed my arms.
"What are you doing..?" I asked.
The woman looked up at me and smiled sweetly. She looked extremely tired so I knew she had to be from the House of Belphegor. In terms of appearance, she looked exactly like Belphegor. She dressed almost like Belphegor as she only wore a hoodie, black leggings, and tennis shoes.
"Oh hey, Demon Lord..." The woman said tiredly and giggled softly. She stood up and dusted herself off then rubbed her eyes. "Uhm, I was just waiting for my friends to get done killing the other Fallen Angels."
"And why aren't you helping?" I asked.
"I'm narcoleptic...Unlike Belphegor...I can't control when I..." She started then fell asleep, standing up. I snapped my fingers at her and she woke up. "...fall asleep.."
"This is Eislyn Belphegor from the House of Belphegor. Believe it or not but she's as strong as they come when it comes down to fighting in the House of Belphegor. She's incredibly smart, master of illusions, she's able to inspire herself at any moment and when she gets inspired she's a total beast, she can basically learn any technique in a state of Epiphany, she's really good with technology, she can empower our abilities at any given monent, and for some reason when she's bored she haunts the bathrooms of the humans.." Fukami said then crossed her arms.
"What..? It's funny seeing their reactions when they see Bloody Mary in their bathroom. I find it quite hilarious." Eislyn giggled and twirled her stick in a circle then it transformed into a demonic katana.
"I mean...yeah it's kinda funny." Fukami smiled. "Oh yeah Ta- EH?! Why are you just walking away?!"
"The longer we stand idle chitchatting, the stronger the Fallen Angels become. I'll destroy them all before they grow even stronger." I said as I walked away.
"Come on! Satan said they are still in the set up phase! It's gonna take so long before the Fallen Angels even attack!" Fukami said then hurried after me.
Eislyn followed after us and noticed three of her friends walking out of the Holy Temple. She waved her hand at them. "Vora, Aurora, Levia! Over here!"
The three looked at us then headed over to us. I looked at them and stopped walking. I studied all three of their appearances. Vora looked nearly identical to Beelzebub and Levia not only represented Leviathan in name but also in her looks.
Aurora was one who looked extremely different from Lucifer not only being a woman, but looking more angelic than she did a devil. She has long butt-length blonde hair tied in a ponytail and two round-curled horns on both sides of her head. She wore a white corset with a calf-length see through black loincloth skirt on her torso. She wore a white glove on her right arm and a black gauntlet on her left arm. She also wears an ornate white fur collar six pointed blue skirt with a strapped belt and two white wings in the front. She has ornate metal thigh high high heeled boots.
"Allow me to introduce Vora Beelzebub from the House of Beelzebub, Levia Leviathan from the House of Leviathan, and Aurora Morningstar from the House of Lucifer. Aurora is Lucifer's daughter. Aurora's mother was an angel who was sadly struck down by a Fallen Angel." Fukami introduced.
"You can say I am somewhat like Sora Sorthrus, but just weaker than her in all accounts, but I still can hold my own weight! Out of all the other Houses of Hell, I'm the best there comes. Let it be known you shall know the wrath of my blade if you stand in my way!" Aurora said then pointed her lance at me.
I looked at Aurora and smirked then closed my eyes. "Aurora...let something be known..." I started then opened my eyes and glared at her. My aura slightly terrified her and she took a step back and felt her body shudder.
'This aura..' Aurora thought to herself.
"I'm the leader of this House..." I said then placed my hand on her shoulder and looked her dead in the eyes. "That means you listen to every command I give...so if you wish to stay alive and value your pathetic life...you stay out of MY way."
I let her go then walked away. The five women looked at me and then at each other. They decided to follow me and we walked travelled to our next destination.
We stopped in front of a church and the five women feared going inside since their Devil Instincts activated. I looked back at them and scoffed. I decided to go inside alone and noticed a church service occuring.
"Let us all praise God for allowing us to wake up this morning! For giving us food to eat! For allowing us to see our family when we open our eyes! God deserves our praise! Our worship!" The pastor said and the audience clapped and cheered then the music began playing.
I walked into the main area and watched the choir sing. As I listened to the music, I sensed angelic energy then noticed a nun walking over to me. She smiled at me gently and wasn't afraid of my demonic energy nor appearance. I didn't even feel off being here. The nun stood beside me and looked at the choir.
"I know you're a Demon Lord, but God welcomes you here. Sinner or not, He welcomes all in His holy temple for all seeking redemption and salvation." The nun smiled and she spread her angelic wing then brushed her wing against my shoulder then my aura pushed her wing away.
I crossed my arms and closed my eyes. "I don't see Redemption nor Salvation. I've used Arcane Magic so no matter what path I go down, I'm fated for the Realm of Between. What I seek...is Revenge."
"I know you do. It was awful what Solgin did you everyone in your neighborhood, but you can't win off revenge alone...God stands with you as well as the Messiah." The nun said.
"Messiah...Hmph. Who is this Messiah? What is their name?" I asked and opened my eyes.
"She is the greatest woman to ever exist in this era, taking the Original Messiah's lessons into consideration and obtaining the blessings of Him. The Messiah is named Maria Alpha. If you seek the Messiah, you must travel to the top of Mount Nebo and there will be a Holy Temple of Origin, where Jesus and Moses was last seen before blessing Maria with their power and ascended to Alpha Heaven." The nun said.
"Foolish of you to trust a devil so casually with such information." I said.
"I wouldn't tell you if it wasn't in God's Will for you to know." The nun smiled and looked up at me.
I looked at the nun and lowered my guard a bit then looked down.
"I can tell you're not as cold as you are seeming right now, Redemption will come for you. Just like Yuki Arcane, you too can ascend and help bring peace back into our universe. The Revelation speaks of a hero who will unite Heaven and Hell to defeat a common enemy. For ages we have been trying to achieve this, but we are so afraid of breaking the Law of Life and Balance. God has it in store for us to strike down the ultimate enemy, the House of Sorthrus. I know deep inside...you have nothing but good intentions.." The nun smiled then began to disappear into energy particles slowly. "My apologies but I must go respond to Michael's call. Think about traversing to Mount Nebo and think about our talk. You are welcome into any of our Temples and Churches."
I watched her disappear and watched a bit more of the church service and closed my eyes then walked away and exited the church. The five women sat outside talking to some of the nuns of the church who were attending to the gardens. Aurora seemed to know the nuns well and got along with them.
"Come on. We have a destination." I called out to Aurora and the others.
"Huh? Where to?" Aurora asked.
"Mount Nebo." I said.
"Wait- THE Mount Nebo?! The one in the Kingdom of Jordan in Western Asia?" Fukami asked.
"Wait why are we going there?" Levia asked.
"We are going to seek out the New Messiah. We are about to unite Heaven and Hell to stop the Fallen Angels from doing any more destruction. We have gotten permission from an Angelic Figure to head there." I said and walked off.
The five looked at each other and waved goodbye to the nuns and followed me.
A masked figure watched from the shadows and disappeared.
Yuki and the others sat in the club room trying to figure out where I could be. Yuki scratched her head and sat back in her chair then closed her eyes.
"Wouldn't the obvious locations be the Holy Temples? I heard the Fallen Angels were going to try and corrupt the temples so maybe he's gonna stop them." Nekona said.
A magic circle appeared on the floor and the masked figure appeared in the club room. "He won't be there."
Yuki sat up and looked at the masked figure. "Who are you?!" Yuki stood up and was prepared to summon her Holy Tool.
The masked figure took off her mask and showed their face of a woman. She looked identical to Yuki except her eyes were purple instead of red and had angelic wings on the side of her head. She wore a black and red battledress with black boots and wore a brown fur cloak around her body.
"Mom..?" Yuki said in shock.
"I was in the area and I noticed everything that happened. The Fallen Angels will not get away with this. They can't repeat what went down in the previous timeline." Yuki's mom said.
"Previous- Yuki, who is this?" Suzumi asked.
"My name is Sephora Arcane. Many of you should've heard of me in the history books as the Strongest Woman of the Zodiac Timeline or know me by the name Arcane. I stopped many wars and maintained peace with a Godson who is now dead. I am also the creator of the Arcane." Sephora said then looked at Nekona.
Nekona looked at Sephora and wondered why she was looking at her.
"You wield a historical weapon. A Zodiac Relic by the name of Whitefang's Claws. And there's an Aries in the area as well. Would it be you?" Sephora pointed at Astraz.
Astraz stood attentively. "Y-Yes ma'am!"
Sephora smiled and nodded then crossed her arms. She looked at Yuki. "Your boyfriend isn't in any temple other than the first one he slaughtered every being inside there of. Killed the Fallen Angels and the humans. He's bloodthirsty for revenge and it only goes down hill from here if we don't stop him. I've seen this happen with my Godson before. It's only a matter of time before he loses sense of who he truly is and descends into the neverending darkness."
"Where is he, mom?" Yuki asked.
"He's going to Mount Nebo." Sephora said.
Everyone looked at each other then back at Sephora.
I kept travelling and noticed two women walking together. One carried a bag full of valuables and the other carried her axe against her shoulders.
"Hey! Avarice! Indra!" Aurora called out to them.
Avarice resembled Mammon greatly, almost too perfectly in terms of body and attire. Avarice even had the same mannerisms and sense of Greed as Mammon.
Indra had the same wrathful aura to her body as Satan. Indra has waist length scarlet hair and two long horns on the sides of her head. She wears a long red flowing cape, a red bra, a red G-string, ornate red gauntlets, black gloves, ornate black thigh-high high-heeled boots covered by red pieces of armor with black and red metal ankle-wings on the sides of her boots.
"Oh, you all finally met him. It's strange how we were sent and they weren't able to come help him." Avarice said.
"Well they do have armies to lead, which is kinda why Beelzebub cancelled the date with Tatsuya, but I'm free!" Vora giggled.
"Fool. I do not desire to the affection of a woman. I desire the death of my enemies." I said.
"Tatsuya, meet Avarice Mammon and Indra Satan. From the Houses of Mammon and Satan. Since we are all here, we can focus on heading to our destination." Fukami smiled.
"Let's hurry. I'd like to be there within a month." I said then walked ahead. The others followed behind and we marched off to Mount Nebo.
