Theo could now start his plans. His first target would be Heven, also known as Heaven, as it was one of the 10 realms. However, a long time ago, Odin severed its connection with Yggdrasil and cursed the angels. This curse was so powerful that Heven later used it as an energy source to sustain their world.
Theo's first task to start the war was to get to Heven.
Theo now needed to deal with the angels. He brought Summer and Agares with him and gave Agares armor. Summer, in her half-dragon form, had horns on her head, her body covered in scales, looking as if she was wearing heavy and sturdy armor.
Theo, on the other hand, was equipped with the All-Black Necrosword and an armor identical to Sung Jin-Woo's shadow armor. However, after the training, there was a difference. His hair had turned silver, a result of mastering new techniques, including Ultra Instinct, which he had now made passive, hence his silver hair.
With black armor, silver hair, and the All-Black Necrosword, Theo was fully prepared for this war. His ki had also evolved due to his race, becoming Demon-God Ki, allowing him to use both demonic and divine techniques without issue.
Now everything was ready. Let the war begin.
Theo then suddenly appeared in Heven, hovering in the sky and looking down at the angels below like ants.
The angels noticed him.
Theo then announced to all of Heven with his voice.
Theo: "I am Antares, and I declare war on all of Heven. Angels, come at me with all your might. Those who surrender will be shown mercy."
The angels were shocked. Was this the man who had announced his presence to the universe?
So he was starting here. But no one knew the extent of his power. As soon as he finished speaking, a spear was thrown at him at great speed. Theo tilted his head slightly to dodge it.
Theo looked at Summer and Agares.
Theo: "Kill as many as you can here. Show mercy to those who surrender. Summer, I have high expectations of you. Agares, prove that you deserve the title of Great Demon."
Agares: "I will not disappoint you, master."
Summer: "I will do my best."
Summer grinned savagely, while Agares was filled with anticipation.
Theo: "Hahahahahhahahaha, that's the spirit. Now go."
Theo didn't waste any time and looked at the angel army hovering at the same height as him, a demonic smile on his face.
Theo drew his sword and immediately appeared in front of the first angel, beheading him with a single strike. Other angels attacked Theo simultaneously from different directions, but Theo dodged them all, decapitating or slicing them in half. Among them was a powerful angel who tried every possible attack on Theo, who evaded each one, mocking the angel. First, when the angel swung his sword, Theo kicked his leg, unbalancing him. Despite the pain, the angel continued, swinging his sword vertically. Theo stopped the sword with his finger and kicked the angel in the head, causing it to explode.
All the angels attacked Theo, trying to use magic, but none of it worked on him.
Agares, on the ground, was enjoying himself with the angels, reaping the benefits of his training. He spread his darkness, scaring or driving the angels insane. Most of the angels exposed to the darkness cried and begged for mercy, which Agares granted.
Summer, on the other hand, was engaged in physical combat. Black flames emanated from her hands, causing pain even to the souls of those she hit, ultimately killing them.
To end things quickly, Theo decided to use a ki technique.
Heavenly God's Palm
As he began to use it, a giant hand, covering about half of Heven, appeared.
Theo then executed the technique, killing 60% of Heven's population.
A total of 2 billion angels died, and Theo turned them into shadow soldiers.
The remaining angels all dropped their weapons.
Then the Queen of the angels appeared.
(I'll refer to her as Queen)
Queen: "What are you doing, you madman? You've destroyed the entire Heven realm. What is your goal?"
Theo: "Submit to me, serve under my command, and become my army. In return, I will protect you and give you the chance to take revenge on Asgard."
Queen: "Are you offering us the chance to destroy Asgard? Most of our population is gone because of you."
Theo: "No, they are not."
Then, behind Theo, the shadow angels appeared, shocking all the angels.
Theo: "They have become my soldiers. If I wanted to destroy you, I wouldn't even be talking to you."
Queen: "This is a disrespect to their souls."
Theo: "At least you can be sure that their poor souls will be well used by me. And if you don't listen to me, I will kill all of you. Surrender, and I will bring you victory against Odin."
Queen: "I have no choice now. I, the Queen of Angels, speak for all the surviving angels. We submit to you, Lord Antares, and we worship the Scarlet King."
Then the Queen bowed to Theo, and all the remaining angels followed suit.
Theo: "Alright, now you all work for me. Anyone who betrays me, anyone who even thinks of betrayal, anyone seeking revenge, my door is always open. Remember, it will be in your best interest to see me not as a just king but as a tyrant."
Theo then reversed time, restoring all the destroyed structures. The giant handprint on the planet was erased. Theo could revive the shadow soldiers but saw no need. Then Death contacted him.
Death: "hahahahhhaaaahahha"
Death's maniacal laughter surprised even Theo.
Death: "You're truly crazier than Thanos. All those souls are now dead. You've made me very happy. Come soon, and I won't hesitate to teach you."
A smile appeared on Theo's face. After talking a bit with Death, he arrived at the Queen of Angels' palace and sat on the throne, with Agares on his right and Summer on his left.
Now, for the next move, he needed to be cautious. The major powers were likely aware of what Theo had done.
