Ashwin stared at the woman after she made her presumptuous statement. Her, injure him? That was a feeble idea even to the likes of him. Her smug attitude infuriated him to the bone, she was looking down on someone who's way above her in terms of status, power and even self-enlightenment. The vast difference between him and her was like a drop of water to an ocean.

Ashwin chuckled and grinned, his eyes glistening as if he was a possessed man. The sentiments to kill the woman were now reaching their zenith and with them came an exponential boost in strength. Ashwin's aura flew out of his own body and clashed with Hanova's, the two auras began a vie for dominance and were plunged into a stale mate.

“Ready when you are.”

“Come at me.”

A brief exchange of words occurred between them and the two went at each other at blinding speeds, their fists collided and a byproduct shockwave of aura danced wildly. As if in a harmonic tempo, Ashwin and Hanova traded blo

    Crimson, everywhere the eyes could see was nothing but crimson. The burning blaze of the underworld painted the sky and the demonic creatures flew by cooing in their coarse vocals. This was the underworld, a place where demonic creatures ruled and in the far distance was a castle. The castle belonged to none other than Lilianith, the current queen of the underworld and the queen of devils.“Mi'lady you have a call from your sister.” The servant of the castle addressed Lilianith who was sitting on her throne playing with the skulls that laid beneath her feet.“Turn on the artifact, I guess it's time that she and I had a chat.” Lilianith replied, propping her face into the palm of her hand. Her beautiful cyan eyes glistening with adoration.A hue of metaphysical essence emanated from the pot before her and it formed a mirror of sorts connecting her to her sister Skyla.“Anything you wish to report dear s

    Silver nodded, his mind still in a daze after he witnessed such beauty and magnificence before him. He quickly snapped out of his trace and stepped to the side offering Lilianith a path. “Right this way madame.” He said. Lilianith nodded and bowed her head slightly at his formality while showing a bit of gratitude for his hospitality, she walked inside and sat on the couch crossing one leg over the other while patiently waiting for Silver to do what she had asked. “Babe, someone is looking for you!!” Silver shouted as he closed the door and took his seat on the couch, opposite to the one Lilianith was sitting on, he rubbed his neck and stole glances at the female. He felt hot for some reason and squirmed around in his seat. “You do know I can see you staring at me right?” “Oh... Sorry about that, it's just that...” “Dont worry, I get that a lot. There's no man who doesn't look at me like they want to devour me, but for your sake I hope you don

    The months that followed after that encounter Silver had with Lilianith, flew by quickly and before any of them knew it, the sakura trees were blossoming and the wedding was upon them, in that time. Silver felt inexplicable guilt elicited by what he had done that night, he had slept with Skyla's sister and had no regrets while doing so. He kept it a secret from Skyla but it still pained him to keep it a secret but he had to or risk his marriage collapsing before it even began.Silver sat on his chair watching his reflection on the mirror, he had bangs under his eyes and looked horrible. He sighed and stood up, he turned to look at the door and fixed his suite. Today was his big day, the day he was getting married.He grabbed his phone and dialed Rogue’s number, the call started to establish a connection and he placed it on his ear gathering how thoughts and how to tell him about all that's happened.“Hey there, this is Rogue Strife.

I need and I'm scared.” “Alright I'll be there.” Rogue replied and hung up the phone, he stood up from the bed, untangling Lucifer from him simultaneously waking her up. “Anything the matter dear?” “I have to go, Morris is telling me that Silver was murdered by someone and my hunch is Skyla. I warned him about her.” “I'm coming with you,” “Alright let's get going, we have no time to lose dear.” Rogue and Lucifer jumped out of the window and flew to the cathedral at blinding speeds. They were concerned about the safety of Morris. Their flight took less than an ten minutes and both landed on the entrance of the cathedral with a loud thud, shaking the cathedral a bit. They walked inside and locat

    “Understood Mi'lady.” Thanatos said and stood up from his chair, he went into his study to do contact his brother, who ruled over the other quarter of the underworld.Rogue looked at Lucifer and shook his head, she seemed to portray uncontested zeal in putting an end to this shenanigans that Lilianith and Skyla were trying to being into fruition.“Are you prepared to kill one of your own family members?”“Yes Dear, I've allowed Lilianith too many chances at redemption and look where that got me.”“So, beforehand what would our game plan be? We can't charge in like headless chickens we will get slaughtered.”“Well, the capital has three entrances which are heavily guarded, each entrance has a general commanding it's troops. The south gate is governed by Antares, the north gate is governed by Asylum and the east gate is governed by Ragiulus.”“Its b

    The stampede of demonic creatures alerted the residence to come out of their houses and observe what was going on, the eastern side of the capital was invaded by Hades and his army, they all charged towards the gates leading to the capital at full speeds.“Men! Today, we bring a revolution to the underworld!!” Hades declared atop of his pet as it continued to gallop through the mash planes at full throttle, a chorus of yes sirs followed after his declaration and the battalion embraced themselves for the upcoming collision they were bound to have with the opposing forces, it was ironic how those who were once comrades in arms turned to nothing but strangers seeking to end one another.“Halt,” Hades said raising his hand and putting a stop to the battalion behind him, His eyes glowed and gave him x-ray vision to make out what was happening on the other side, he got off his pet and pointed at the wall.

    “I won't die, I still have too much to live for.” Hades spoke to himself as he struggled to his feet, the punch from Raigulus messed up his insides, he could feel the broken ribs that pierced his lungs. However he had no luxury time of healing himself as the sphere of destruction came closer and closer to him. He closed his eyes and took a deep breathe even though with extreme difficulty due to his punctured lungs.‘Gather, feel the metaphysical essence surge from your feet up to your core and hands open all five Hieroglyphs at once and let the accumulated power do its bidding, do not force it. Allow it on its own free will.’ He thought and extended his hand forward, the Metaphysical Essence within his body being bent to his will and like a puppet following the instructions of the puppeteer, it served his purpose.A loud boom reverberated around the whole eastern side and a huge gusts of wind blew about as everything in a five kilometers radius

    The brief interaction between Thanatos and Asylum stopped after Asylum's words. Thanatos merely closed his eyes and sighed, for he knew that the downfall of one started with the show of arrogance, he wasn't arrogant nor that confident to underestimate his opponent unlike the person behind him. It seemed like all of the gate guards have some complex to them that makes them thing they are superior to every individual. He saw no need to speak any further for the man he was conversing with had shown that he wasn't willing to negotiate with anyone or anything, his only option now was to fight him and win.He turned around and looked at Asylum without batting an eyelash, Thanatos was cunning and cynical, he did what he did to taunt the man into taking drastic actions as he appeared nonchalant about everything even to a point of yawning, He knew it was the highest form of disrespect to do so but he found excitement in watching the man before him get angry and angry from his actions

    Light showed itself at the end of the tunnel, Rogue spent time looking for the exit but at long last he had managed to leave his subconscious. When he opened his eyes, they were resilient, beaming with power and it was then he finally understood why he needed to subdue those two. As the bearer of bad news, Ein's willow hovered close to him and gave him a message that infuriated Rogue to the brim. “Your daughter is gone and your wife has been placed in a suspended Animation.” Rogue’s eyes dangerously narrowed and his borrows furrowed, veins emerged on his hands and Metaphysical Essence erupted from the pores on his body. “Who took her?” His question was subtle and had a dangerous lingering tone at the end of it. “Chronos emissaries, conquest and Death.” Without further notice, Rogue flashed out of existence. He teleported from the sanctuary and appeared in his residence premises in Tokyo. When he appeared, many people were already at the scene includin

    Rogue stirred awake. His head was whirling around, he got up from the bed and held his head. “What happened?” his memory was foggy, he could remember glimpses of what had happened but it wasn't that concise.“You got your ass kicked.” Vinshi replied from the door folding his arms. He strode to Rogue's bed side and sat on the chair that was in front of Rogue.“As much as I hate to admit it, your father was right. You aren't strong to a point of being able to fight Chronos much less his emissaries, you lack power Rogue and if I were you, I'd take his suggestion.” Vinshi enunciated, his words hitting Rogue like a pile of bricks.Rogue knew he was weak even with his versatile repertoire of abilities. He leaned his head back and sighed deeply, then looked at Vinshi again. “Do you think I can defeat them?”Vinshi sighed as well, to be frank he didn't think Rogue at this stage could defeat any of the emissari

    The whole house immediately quieted down. As if the sovereigns were not enough now another legion could possibly be knocking on their doorstep, Rogue nodded and folded his hands leaning back into the chair he was sitting on. “So father, how strong is Chronos according to you? Could I beat him at my current level?” He asked, eyes meeting Ein head-on, Rogue wanted to know how far he could take Chronos before defeating him.Ein listened tentatively and as soon as Rogue concluded his statement, he shook his head. “You are quite weak even now. Don't get me wrong if you had gathered all the ten keys it might have been a different story but you only got eight or nine if I'm not wrong.”“Then what do I need to do to get stronger? I need the power to protect everything dear to me.” Rogue replied, his face unyielding no emotions. He was prepared to go to hell and back for his family and he would drag everything threatening his fami

    Footsteps heavy as a sledgehammer trudged across the countryside of Hiraizumi, the winds were fierce and they tossed every granule of sand asunder. “Seraphine,” vocals belonging to a man reverberated in the atmosphere, blending in nicely with the ambiance. His silhouette emerged from the obstructing cliff and he took a stand on top of the hill. Dark bristle swayed with the call of mother nature, mystified oculars took in the scenery of the town and a chuckle soon followed after. He was back where he started, after more than ten long years. Seraphine hummed a tune to herself unaware of what was about to occur, she paused as she grabbed the plate and looked at the ceiling above, “I miss my son.” she whispered to the air and her eyes dropped a bit, expressing the sadness that was digging a tunnel inside her heart. Day in and day out her son was fighting against the forces that were out to end his life. Unbeknownst to her, a tear slipped down the right side of her face, she went

    Rogue grinned as he heard that roar, he raised his hand and a key manifested on it before it was absorbed into his entity relishing in the grace of the power it unlocked and returned to him. The satisfaction of being partially whole again made him antsy, and he couldn't wait to use his power, starting with the abominations forged by Azathoth. His middle finger and thumb touched and with a snap, Rogue utilized an advanced reality warping ability along with Omni nullification and he immediately wiped all the forces from existence leaving only him and Azathoth facing one another.Azathoth seeing how Rogue easily dismantled Nave and his creations, knew that he was not a foe to be truffled with and taken lightly. According to his observation Rogue was on par with the Ymir and THE HEADLESS HORSEMEN, that Chronos kept by his side. Giving half into this fight would only endanger him, as such he had a choice and he chose to go all out, destroy everything in his path just to dest

    Rogue's morphed eyes did not falter as he stared at the pooling abominations, it seemed as if Azathoth wanted to make a grand entrance, Rogue did nothing to stop that. After all, a father must honor his child's stupidity. He pocketed his hands, sighed and looked back at a bruised and battered Nave with a sophisticated grin. The chess pieces were already at play, and he was a single move away from checkmate. As such he wanted to savour the victory, even if it meant he should allow the idiocity to continue.Nave seeing the composed look on Rogue regardless of how many he faced at the moment, started to feel a sense of unease and become angry... What gave him the right to act all smug before them, he and Azathoth were most notorious deities ever to exist and this beat was looking down on them. “You dare look down upon us as if you have attained victory?”Rogue nodded, showing Nave that he was positive that he had victory in his grasp. “Yes, I do.

    A few days has gone by with Rogue training intensively to unlock a majority of his powers, along the way he had managed to unlock some of the deviants of the celestial dragon god that sent him back in time.
