Before anyone could say anything, they suddenly felt uneasy as if something heavy was pushing their shoulders, huge screeching sounds overwhelming their ears, their vision getting dark and blurry, everybody was on the ground except for Nygoz and Azrael, it seemed that the overwhelming power was coming from Nygoz as his expression was for the first time furious, after a moment of staring he finally spoke up: - "Tell me Azrael, where were you all this time, watching all of your people die and only show up after it is already too late? I think you might have a death wish that i will be able to grant" Azrael snaps his fingers as the pressure suddenly goes away and Nygoz falls on the ground powerless, he looks down at him and says:- "I did not have any other choice, if i showed up at any other point i would have undoubtedly failed, i had to wait till Sadan's soul current became unstable so i could seal him without him noticing"- "How is he doing this, i thought you were stronger than the gods" Said Lilith while looking at Nygoz- "He might be but i am his god and i have control over him" Said Azrael- "What do you mean?" Said Kyo- "I am god of earth and i can simply control them, like disabling their powers as i did right now or kill them entirely" Said Azrael- "Isn't Sadan also a human? why don't you just kill him then?" Said Maonz- "I am not sure how but Sadan somehow got rid of that pact, i have no control over him whatsoever" Said Azrael- "Could you let go of master Nygoz please?" Said Ayame- "As you wish" Said Azrael as he snapped his fingers once again- "So now what, Sadan is gone?" Said Nygoz as he slowly stood up- "Only if it were that simple, i used special artifact to seal him, it can only be used once in a billion years and can seal anything with an exception of gods" Said Azrael- "Isn't Sadan stronger than you? how come it can seal him but not you?" Said Lilith- "Title is what matters, not power, he is a human and i am a god" Said Azrael- "That still doesn't answer my question, is Sadan gone or not" Said Nygoz- "The seal only lasts for 2 years, inside the seal all powers or techniques are disabled, events are also frozen in time, Sadan is stuck there for 2 years, he is probably trying to break free right now too but it's not possible" Said Azrael- "What about the pond? did he complete his technique?" Said Kyo- "Sadly yes, as soon as events are unfrozen the technique will activate and he will revert universe once again" Said Azrael- "Wait how do you know about that?" Said Naomi- "I remember Sadan's words very clearly when we killed him, i just know" Said Azrael- "So now what, after 2 years the seal will be casted off and Sadan will make yet another step?" Said Kyo- "But we have time to prepare for the final showdown, you guys train and i will get other gods to help us" Said Azrael- "You have fought Sadan before, tell us about his techniques and powers" Said Nygoz- "It's more complicated than you think, i will explain once those two little humans from future understand soul current way better, now you shall prepare " Said Azrael- "Do you know where Sadan will take us this time?" Lilith- "Approximately 4 Billion years ago, just 700 Million years away from his original death time" Said Azrael- "So we can not afford to let Sadan use technique one more time" Said Kyo- "Before i go Lilith, i wanted you to have this" Said Azrael as he handed a weird looking glove over to her- "What is this?" Said Lilith- "I heard about your technique so i decided you should have it, this glove was made for me by Sahaten, The god of underworld, there is nobody better to wield this than you, it has part of his soul in it meaning it's overflowing with demonic power and has consciousness of it's own, it should grant you immense power if you manage to control it" Said Azrael- "Thank you" Said Lilith as she hesitantly took the glove- "Now if you excuse me, i have to go, see you in two years" Said Azrael as he opened up a portal and went through- "So many questions yet no answers" Said Ayame- "Well, what should we do?" Said Kyo- "Didn't you hear him? we should train" Said Naomi- "I agree with Naomi" Said Lilith - "Could you help us out Sam?" Said Kyo- "i have to prepare, i doubt" Said Nygoz- "Do you not have something to teach us?" Said Kyo- "Like what?" Said Nygoz- "Like that thing you did earlier, you knocked us out" Said Kyo- "Oh that, i doubt you will be able to do it, you need immense amount of soul current" said Nygoz- "How do i do it, tell me , i will at least try" Said Kyo- "it's called "Duro" you use your soul current to overwhelm other's souls and bodies"- "And how do i do it" Asked Kyo- "I can't really teach you, it's different for every person, something in their lives happen that made them awaken it, for me it was my pet that was about to be eaten by a wolf, i was really little so i didn't know how to use any my powers, it just happened randomly, since animals also have souls it worked on the wolf but my pet too, you have to be careful with it, it doesn't kill but it's still very dangerous" Said Nygoz- "So what is that you have to prepare for?" Asked Kyo- "It's hard to explain, it's better to show you when i am done, goodbye now" Said Nygoz as he opened up a portal too and went into different dimension- "What will you do Maonz?" Asked Lilith- "I will get my army ready" Said Maonz- "How are we going to fit the army in the effective zone of Sadan's technique to follow him?" Asked Kyo- "We will figure something out, until then we will just train, also Naomi, since things have been this way, you are no longer exiled, you are free to come back to afterlife" Said Maonz- "How do we train now?" Asked Ayame- "I have an idea, I will take Ayame to train and Lilith will take Kyo to train" Said Naomi- "Alright but i am not going to afterlife, we can train separately" Said Lilith- "Alright then, Let's go Ayame" Said Naomi as she opened gate to the afterlife - "Well Kyo, goodbye, i will miss you, give me a visit every once in a while if possible" Said Ayame as tears ran down her cheeks - "Stop crying now, i am not dead" Said Kyo- "Of course, goodbye" Said Ayame as she stepped in the gate and disappeared- "Take care" Said Naomi as she also stepped in the gate and teleported away, as she did the gate slowly shutMaonz raised his hand in the sky as all the souls that have been lost in Sadan's massacre started gathering in his hand, as they finished gathering he said:- "610 Million of them, i don't know how we will recover from this damages, Sadan needs to be stopped" - "That is just unreal, how did he manage to kill that much in so little time, what will you do to so many souls?" Said Kyo- "There is always a place for souls in the afterlife, don't you worry about it" Said Maonz- "We must win, get your army ready well" Said Kyo- "We will meet again" Said Maonz as he warped away - "Now it's just the two of us, where should we go?" Said Kyo- "I don't really have a place to go, i don't know" Said Lilith- "it's terrible when you don't belong anywhere" Said Kyo- "Belong huh, i have an idea" Said Lilith- "What kind?" Said Kyo- "Well, since Sadan killed Balthazar, underworld has no ruler, i am a royal demon and probably strongest one right now, what if i just went there and took the throne" Said Lilith- "Ya sounds good, now that you have that weapon made by demon god itself, who will stop you" Said Kyo- "Let's get going then" Said Lilith- "I always meant to ask you, where is the underworld? all the demonic palaces are on the earth and all the demons live there too so what is happening in the underworld?"- "You see, us demons are not what we look like, in this era demons just possessed humans as their vessels but in our times violence between races was not allowed so we had to wait 100 years to manifest a vessel, then we are allowed to leave the underworld, demon without a vessel looks more like a smoke or floating cloth, they don't have solid form, in the underworld there are demons that do not possess a vessel" Said Lilith - "I see, and how do we go to the underworld?" Asked Kyo- "There is gate on the earth, we must go there, demons can always sense it so i know where it is, follow me" Said Lilith as she started walking- "Is it far away?" Said Kyo- "Just walk, doesn't matter" Said Lilith- "Hey Lilith, now that i think about it, our techniques are similar, i control weapons and tools, you merge with them" Said Kyo- "Hmm, ya i haven't given it a much of a thought before but now that you mention it, probably because you got your technique from me" Said Lilith- "I don't think so, Naomi gave Ayame her technique but they are nothing alike, i think it's more depended on our personalities, Ayame likes nature and i like technology, and now we control it" Said Kyo- "You might be right" Replied Lilith as she shruggedA few hours of walking later, they finally approached a huge strange gate, Lilith looked up at it and said: - "Aha, There it is, let's go in"- " Whoa, what do you mean, are you sure it's safe?" Said Kyo- "Why wouldn't it, let's go" Said Lilith as she approached the gateBehind the gates were coming the sounds of screeches and screams, as Lilith pushed the gate it opened up and in front of them stood pure abyss and darkness, all cold, nothing like Kyo could have ever imagined, in the darkness there were strange essences flying around, as they saw the gate open they started flying towards it, as they were about to leave, they collided with invisible barrier as they turned back and flew back into abyss- "Whoa, so this is the underworld?" Said Kyo- "It sure is but it looks different from our times" said Lilith- "So anybody could go there and open up the gate just like that?" Said Kyo- "No, only royals and above can open the gate, it's a very strong spell, can resist trillions of kilograms of force without budging" Said Lilith- "There seems to be some sort of barrier, how will we get in?" Said Kyo- "That barrier only holds those without a vessel, we should be alright to go, follow me" Said Lilith as she took a leap down the abyss - "Here goes nothing" Said Kyo as he also dropped down, following LilithA few seconds of falling later they landed on a strange surface - "Here we are, let's go" Said Lilith- "Go where?" Said Kyo- "To claim the throne of course" Said Lilith- "And how will you do that?" Asked Kyo- "By force of course" Answered LilithAs they started walking, Lilith opened up a gate ahead of them and walked inside of a strange room filled with demons flying around, she made his way to the throne and sat on it as she spread her wings and yelled out:- "My name is Lilith, from now on i will be the new ruler of the hell, if anyone disagrees feel free to come out and face me"When Lilith thought that nobody would dare to even attempt challenging her, an essence flied down before her and manifested into a shape of a person, he stared at her for a few seconds and then spoke up:- "My name is Deygon, i am the boss around here, come and show what you got, don't let those wings fool your ego, you aren't the strongest just because you are a royal"Without saying a word Lilith dashed towards him, ready to end him with a single strike but before she could even get close to him, Deygon swung his arm as Lilith was launched into a wall nearby with high speed, she stood up from the rubble and said with angry expression:- "How the heck did you do that, bastard"- "It's my technique, telekinesis"Lilith secretly hid her hand behind rubble and preformed the hand signs as she summoned spikes from the ground to catch Deygon by surprise but he altered shape of his body and turned into smoke like essence once again as spikes went through him- "What the hell?" Said Lilith- "Oh don't tell me you can't do this, you aren't possessing a vessel either, your body is also manifested, so pathetic"As Deygon manifested back to his shape Lilith suddenly felt huge pressure on her back as her vision started getting blurry once and sharp whistling sound overwhelmed her ears, Lilith stumbled back on her feet as she said in her mind:- "Duro? this bastard can use it too? it's annoying but it's nowhere as powerful as Nygoz's, i can handle it"- "I AM NOT DONE YET" Yelled out Deygon - "What now" Said Lilith as she was taking heavy breathsA smile appeared on Deygon's face as he made hand signs and chanted out:- "Imaginary canvas: Fatal tear"In the next second a huge invisible force came down from the sky, crushing everything flat in 300 meter radius, taking down entire building and leaving a massive crater in the ground, as Deygon though Lilith would for sure be crushed under the pressure he noticed in the shadows that she was holding her palm in the air and using it to completely deflect his attack and resist the pressure, as she was looking at him in the process and smiling - "How the hell are you still alive?" Yelled out Deygon- "I didn't think i would have to use this glove so soon but you leave me no other choice" Said LilithBefore Deygon could even react Lilith dashed towards him with insane speed and slightly flicked his forehead as he was sent flying hundreds of meters away as he finally collided with a boulder on his way, as he slowly stood up, Lilith had already closed all the distance as she stood before him, She squatted before him and said:- "You know, i analyzed Balthazar's technique with my special eyes and i found out that his technique is unable to affect ones imaginary canvas so tell me, if you took him on you would most definitely win yet he was the ruler and declared as the strongest demon, why is that?"- "That just how it is, the leaders are always declared the strongest whether is it true or not, i was just locked up so i wouldn't get in his way, it was only after his death that i was released by my friends that no longer had any fear of getting punished because Balthazar is apparently dead, i am not sure how true that is" Said Deygon - "Well, in that case , i have two news for you, one good and other bad, which one do you want me to say first huh?" Said Lilith- "Good i guess" Said Deygon- "It is true, Balthazar really is dead" Said Lilith- "What? no way, who killed him?" Said Deygon, still not believing what he heared- "Well that is the bad news" Said Lilith- "What do you mean?" Said Deygon in confused voice now- "It was Sadan, The same Sadan that killed the 4 gods, i am assuming you have heard of him" Said Lilith- "Well that is very stupid, he died billions of years ago" Said Deygon- "Believe what you want but the fact is that he is back and we are preparing to kill him, you can either stay against me and die in battle or join us and help us out" Said Lilith- "Fine, but one question" Said Deygon- "What is it" Said Lilith- "How did you become so strong and fast in such a little time? i was easily dodging all of your attacks without any trouble and you suddenly went so much faster and defeated me with a flick of your finger" Said Deygon- "My technique is merging, i have ability to borrow power from my weapon and armor, and with my canvas i can become one with them, this glove i am using right now is made by god of the underworld himself, strongest armor for my technique there can be, i am still missing a weapon, i can use one weapon and one armor at the same time, i simply borrowed power from the glove and that is how i defeated you, now follow me, let's go back to my friend" Said LilithTwo minutes later they arrived back where the throne originally was, Kyo sitting on the ground waiting for them, as he saw them coming he stood up and said: - "Ah finally, what took you so long , and most importantly why is he still alive?"- "Well, he is with us now, we could use any little help against Sadan and he is pretty strong too"- "And who are you?" Said Deygon- "My name is Kyo, a human from future"- "What?" Said Deygon- "i Didn't expect you to get it, forget it" Said Kyo- "Well, everything has been settled out, i am the ruler of the underworld now, that throne is mine"- "Ummmm, what throne? did you forget that he wrecked everything?" Said Kyo- "Oh don't you worry, structures in underworld regenerate on their own, it should be as good as new in a few hours "- "Very well then, let's get started on our training, shall we?" Said Kyo as he released his soul current and used it to cover his body- "I don't know when you learned that but now we are talking" Said Lilith as she released her own and got in a fighting stance- "Come at me" Said Kyo
