Ashura, still feeling the sting of defeat after his father Zephyr's overwhelming display of power, clenched his fists, his eyes blazing with renewed determination. He couldn't accept being humiliated like this, not by his own father. He gritted his teeth, an idea forming in his mind. He summoned his Anima Siddhi, a power that could shrink and infiltrate any place unseen.
"Go," Ashura whispered coldly to the invisible force. "Destroy the Hell Gate."
As the Anima Siddhi sped away toward its target, Ashura stood tall, his confidence returning. His only task now was to keep his father distracted long enough for the plan to work. He smirked, raising his voice. "You think you've won, Zephyr? You haven't seen the true extent of my power. You all will die soon."
Zephyr narrowed his eyes, sensing a shift in Ashura's tone. "What are you blabbering about, Ashura?" he asked, but a subtle tension gripped his voice.
Just as Zephyr finished speaking, a sudden, deafening explosion echoed across the heavens. The ground trembled violently beneath their feet, and a dark, ominous energy filled the air. Zephyr's eyes widened as he realized the source of the disturbance.
"The Hell Gate!" Heaven God and Hell God, rushed toward the gate to stop the catastrophe. As they approached, they attempted to seal the breach, their combined powers forming a barrier of light and fire.
But before they could close the gate, a powerful, dark beam shot forth, knocking them both back with incredible force. The Hell Gate, now wide open, unleashed a torrent of malevolent energy. Souls long trapped within began pouring out, while the gate itself seemed to crack under the pressure, threatening to shatter completely.
Zephyr's face turned grim. "Ashura! What have you done?"
Ashura, grinning wickedly, watched his father's horror with satisfaction. "You thought I came here to just fight you? You were wrong. This is only the beginning." He turned his back on Zephyr and strode toward the Heaven Castle, his dark energy radiating ominously. Inside, he approached a grand chamber and dropped to one knee, bowing deeply before the ominous figure emerging from the shadows.
"Welcome, Samodiva Queen," Ashura said with reverence, his voice thick with anticipation.
The queen stepped forward, her presence dark and regal, her power palpable as it filled the castle. Her long, flowing robes shimmered like liquid darkness, and her eyes gleamed with a cold, calculating malice. A twisted smile curved on her lips as she took in the sight of Ashura bowing before her.
"It's been a long time," the Samodiva Queen purred, her voice like silk but laced with venom. "You've done well, Ashura. Now, the gates of Hell are mine to command." She cast a glance at the chaos unfolding outside. "And soon, Heaven will follow."
Ashura rose, a satisfied smirk on his face. "I live to serve, my queen."
The Samodiva Queen laughed softly, her power already spreading through the air like a poison. "Let's see if Heaven and Hell are prepared for my reign."
