Gods, no is that really the way to describe gods? Because in that world, Demons are more feared than gods.
A thousand years ago. There was just an ordinary human from Earth, wandering in a vast, unknown universe.
Suddenly, He found himself caught in an unknown incident, his mind racing with the realization that he was done for.
But then, something miraculous happened. An unknown being, with an otherworldly aura, materialized in front of him.
Was it a God? He couldn't tell. But it exuded a strange power, unlike anything he had ever experienced.
As he stood frozen in awe, the being spoke to him in a language he couldn't understand, yet somehow, he knew exactly what it was saying.
"W!#l yo- f0-m a contract w!-h me, Human?"
Upon realizing that the human was a bit perplexed about the situation at hand, he paused to ponder his options.
After carefully weighing the circumstances, he concluded that he had no alternative but to accept the unknown being proposition.
As he embraced the offer presented before him, the being stood tall before his very eyes, unleashing a powerful energy that could conquer worlds and protect them in its embrace.
"The contract is now complete. Henceforth, you shall be the vessel of this king. You shall be the first Ascendant, entrusted with great power and responsibility. May you carry out your duties with honor and righteousness, and may your reign be one of prosperity and peace."
During the succession ceremony, a power was passed on to a human.
As the minutes passed, the human began to feel a newfound strength and authority. However, amidst the excitement and confusion of the moment, the human soon discovered that he had inadvertently caused harm to those who had tried to impede his path.
As he gazed around, he suddenly realized that something about him had changed. He carefully examined himself from head to toe, trying to figure out what was different. And then it hit him – his appearance, his body, and even his mental knowledge, everything about him had transformed into that of a warrior. It was a startling realization, but he knew that he had to embrace this new identity and make the most of it.
As the being appeared once again, the human couldn't help but wonder what happened to him.
Little did he know that the next words coming from this being would completely blow his mind.
"Behold, You stand in the presence of a deity, a ruler of the ethereal realm, a being of immense power and wisdom. I am Balthazar, King of all Spirits, and I have graced you with my presence."
The human's eyes widened in shock as he stood before the imposing figure of the King of Spirits. His mouth opened, but no words came out as he struggled to process the surreal situation.
For a while, the King held onto human hands and proceeded to create a massive hole capable of devouring a universe.
As the king took the human inside the massive circle of divine energy, something strange happened.
From the looks of it, that hole was a gate connected to the spirit's world. However, when the king finally arrived in their world, the mortal couldn't believe what he was seeing.
It appeared to be a chaotic scene, as spirits were running for their lives, and an unknown creature was chasing after them.
A strange incident occurred in which an unknown creature, reportedly twice the size of a normal building, was seen wreaking havoc in the kingdom of the King of Spirits.
The King was filled with rage upon witnessing the destruction caused by the creature and found it hard to believe what was happening before his very eyes.
"H-HOW DARE THOSE PATHETIC CREATURES MAKE A MOVE WHILE I WAS GONE FOR JUST A MOMENT?! DO THEY NOT KNOW WHO I AM?! I AM THEIR KING, AND THEY WILL LEARN TO FEAR MY WRATH!"
The King of Spirits was in such a desperate state that it had to resort to asking a mere human for help in its dying world.
It begged for a change in power, wealth, or even fame, just to save its people. The human felt a twinge of pity for the helpless creature, knowing that if he rejected this plea for help, something would definitely change.
With all the pieces finally falling into place, the human's realization hits hard he is no longer an ordinary mortal.
After careful consideration, the human has come to a determined decision to accept the king's offer.
And now this fateful encounter is what caused the Earth to change forever, transcending it into a realm beyond mortal comprehension.
The air was thick with the stench of death and the sound of clangs and clashes of swords echoed through the spirits world.
The king and the human fought side by side against the never-ending horde of demons that had taken over. They had been fighting for what felt like an eternity, and the human mind was consumed with only one thought - to kill. The king's battle cry echoed in the air as his contractor swung his sword with ease, while the human's eyes were wild with a frenzied determination to rid the world of these demons.
With each strike, they pushed back the demons, but there seemed to be no end to their numbers. The human's sanity was slipping away, but he kept going, his sword striking down demon after demon. The king and the human fought on, their strength and resolve unwavering, as they continued to fight for the spirits world.
After centuries of fighting and overcoming countless challenges, the human and the king finally came face to face with the Demon God, who is now the ultimate ruler of the spirits world.
The battle was intense and fierce, but the human was unstoppable, his limitless stamina fueled by his countless victories over demons. To make matters worse for the Demon God, the mortal's body was coated in a divine aura that made him even more powerful.
The culmination of the human efforts dealt a deep injury to the god, causing significant damage to its weak point and forcing it to take centuries to heal.
But the human was not yet finished - they had one final attack up their sleeve that would bring an end to this epic battle. It was a crucial step in defeating this formidable god, and the mortal was ready to give it everything he had.
"This is? Are you planning on sacrificing yourself? Indeed, you're really interesting. In that case, I will fully take that attack head-on! HAHAHAHAHA! But remember this, mortal. Our battle is not yet over. I am the demon god, and I will definitely come back to claim what is rightfully mine!"
As the human reached the limits of their strength, their attack began to weaken. Yet, even in its weakened state, it was not to be underestimated.
Finally able to launch their attack, the human shifted its direction towards the god's heart, freezing it for nearly a century to come.
It was a triumphant moment for the human, having overcome impossible odds to emerge victorious.
"Indeed, this is not yet over."
As the dust settled, the world was left to wonder what other feats of strength and heroism lay ahead for this remarkable individual.
