Golden Gash!!: Demon Revolution Army (remake) [Chapter 36 - The Fallen King Chapter 14]

Golden Gash!!: Demon Revolution Army user guide




Golden Gash!!: Demon Revolution Army II - The Fallen King


Golden Gash!!: Demon Revolution Army II - The Fallen King, also known as "Konjiki no Gash!!: Mamono no Kakumei-gun II ~Taoreta Ō~ (金色のガッシュ! !:魔物の革命軍II 〜倒れた王〜)" and "Zatch Bell!: Mamodo Revolution Army II - The Fallen King," is a sub-sequel/extension to my Zatch Bell! / Konjiki no Gash (Bell)!! fan fiction, Golden Gash!!: Demon Revolution Army (specifically my remade version), which is a fan sequel to the Zatch Bell!/Konjiki no Gash!! manga series by Makoto Raiku. This new story arc takes place directly after Chapter 16 of my remade storyline in the other timeline, thus branching off from Chapter 17 and onward, which means that this sub-sequel can be read after Chapter 16 (remake) or after the final chapter (Remake: Chapter 22). However, it is recommended to read this story arc after reading the Revolution from the Dead (RftD) story (Remake: Chapters 1722) due to potential spoilers and that The Fallen King (TFK) arc is labeled after the last RftD chapter.

With the defeat of the Laughing Deathstock Gang by the Acolytes of the Nether, the Demon Resistance Army has continued to fight for Former King Gash Bell's rights to the throne. The current King of Demon World in the past timeline is Lord Gul'ren, Necrolyte Dark Lord of the Nether, and he plans on recreating Demon World from the ideals of his deceased brother Zal'gor, who was King of Demon World 10,000 years ago, in his own dark way. A month later, the former young King and his queen-to-be returned from the Human World to Demon World to D.D. Sanctuary, a refuge from a different dimension created by the Royal Knight Lieutenant General D.D. Veni. The war has gone too long and the Resistance Army launches one final battle to determine whether or not Demon World [Planet Terra] is recoverable or the former young King will have to rule on a whole new planet without being connected to Planet Earth of the mortal universe anymore. Will Demon World be restored or will Lord Gul'ren forever rule the planet in his own peace?

Trivia: Franchises that inspired me to make this new story arc are WarcraftStarCraftHarry Potter, and Star Wars.

Chapter 36 (The Fallen King Chapter 14): The Truth from Beyond


Chapter 34 Recap


[Insert random recap music]
Guthorax, former Supreme God of Spirit World, successfully returned to the existing universe from the void of nothingness. Guthorax released Lord Gul'ren's family into the Spirit World while Warchief Dan'ro Deathscream gained a massive power-up from the Nether God. Both necrolytes with two different purposes battled each other for the reign of Demon World. King Yama and the archangels from Spirit World teleported into the world of the living to stop Guthorax and his plans. King Yama was assassinated by one of Guthorax's nether spirits out of their own revenge against Yama without Guthorax's permission. However, it was revealed that Guthorax's proxies were not actually his own and were simply using Guthorax for its own resurrection. The nether spirits formed into a long lost female archdevil known as Adikia, Goddess of Injustice and All Evil and the evil personality of the Goddess of Divine Justice Themis Jr.

Adikia was banished to the void after King Yama discovered the truth behind the riot but some of Adikia/Themis's remaining soul pieces traversed around the universe, finding ways to free herself and now that the insane Goddess of Injustice is freed, what does she plan to do? Will the former Supreme God of Balance's innocence be justified and what does he plan to do?

Scene: The Sky Battlefield above the Dark Fortress in Demon World (noon)


[Insert random battle music]
Deep in the sky, nearly outside the atmosphere of Demon Word, the Nether God's mind is struggling as he places his ghost-like hands to his ghost-like head, "Err! Get out of my head!" The archangels were surprised and confused with Saturn, Great Angelic Saint of Humility, figuring out who was the mastermind behind everything, "Adikia..."

From the lower part of the sky, General Venierro felt pressured, eh? So this is who Enma-dono was talking about... She was the one who controlled Guthorax-dono... Adikia, Themis-dono's archdevil form and evil personality... I've only heard about her. Her body is mixed with æther... and nether essences from being decomposed between the existence and the non-existence, as well as taking Enma-dono's æther. How is this possible to have both essences in one body? Oh, Enma-dono... He still felt terrible for what happened to the Supreme God of Death. And speaking of Supreme God, Venierro is taking a look inside Guthorax's mind, she's controlling his mind... Changing his aspects of morality. This is bad... If he goes berserk... Keep fighting it... Even the ghost-like dark nephalems stopped fighting nephalic soldiers for a few seconds as they were worried about their Nether God, "Guthorax-sama!" The dark devils, however, had no care in the world as they fight and kill angelic soldiers and living demon soldiers.

The dark devils are pretty much siding with the Goddess of Injustice Adikia since she is an archdevil and that they are under her influence while the dark nephalems are siding with the former God of Balance, and these nether beings used to be allies until now. Though, some dark nephalems are seemingly being affected by Adikia's Evil Influence and are unwillingly being brought to her side with a dark nephalic warrior saying to one his turning comrades, "Oi, what's wrong? Stop!"

As Adikia made an evil high-pitch laugh, "Ahh-hahahaha!" The Sea God Neptune shouted in anger, "So, you must be the one Enma-sama told me about ages ago. You'll feel the wrath of the Sea God." An angry water aura surrounds Neptune and Adikia said, "Hehe, look at all that rage. So feisty! Easy picking for my Morality Curse... Evil Influence." While Guthorax's mind was already struggling, the Sea God was going into the same state and he is trying to fight the influence off with willpower as well. Jupiter was worried for his older brother, "Neptune, what's wrong?"

General Venierro teleported to the archangels and shouted, "Neptune-dono, stay calm! Don't let her curse get to you. Fight it! Fight it, calmly!" As Neptune was struggling from Adikia's Evil Influence, he said, "It's... too late for me. My wrath's... too powerful. Mars, I've given you my holy beast... Urgh! Use it well! Save this univ—ARRRGH!!!" Guthorax and Neptune completely fell into Adikia's Evil Influence and Neptune is turning around against his fellow archangels with evil in his eyes. Venierro was worried, "No! Commander!" Saturn said, "There is no saving him. It's all my fault." Jupiter was slightly infuriated, "Neptune, you stubborn..." Mercury wondered, "What's happening to him?" Mars, without hesitation, called upon Neptune's holy beast with his right hand raised, "I summon thee, Pegasus! Bestow your holy light and elegance!"

A dimensional portal of light opened above Mars and came out the portal was a giant white unicorn with angel wings and a golden horn as it neighs, "Neeeeigh~~~!" Holy beasts (聖獣, seijū) like Pegasus are like the beast variations of archangels. They are the exact opposite to beast-like archdevils (or "unholy beasts" [悪聖獣, waruseijū]) such as Cerberus, Leviasatan, and Behemoth. Venus was happy to see the holy beast's shining light, "Pegasus..."

General Venierro flew to Paradise King Jupiter and informed him, "Jupiter-dono, my pleasure to meet you but... You must save Neptune-dono and Guthorax-dono from that female archdevil's clutches." Jupiter wondered, "What? That corrupted archnephalem?" After taking a look inside their minds, General Venierro explained to him while explaining to the other archangels telepathically, "I checked their minds. Guthorax-sama is seemingly not a bad deity like everyone says but right now, their mind and soul are being corrupted. That female archdevil, Adikia, is apparently responsible for everything. I recognize that evil energy of her from before. Recently, she killed some of my comrades of Demon World, under the influence of another one of my Demon World Military comrades. Her heart is apparently made of pure evil since the day of her birth but there is still something strange about her. Something else is inside her but barely. She seems to possess another soul... one of pure heart of goodness, but it's buried so far... dying, it seems. I only briefly felt it. As a late general of the Nephalem Military Police Force, I have heard that there was some sort of mutant or merged archnephalem of split personality who was the commander of the military force before your older brother but had personality issues. You must free the evil from their souls and bring back their original selves. Hurry. I can already feel your brother slowly turning into archdevil." Jupiter understood, "Very well," and General Venierro gave his last regards, "Pardon me, Your Holy Majesty, but I need to check on Demon World's survivors to see if they're alright," and teleported to Planet Zenma, where the remaining survivors of Demon World are still camping out.

Venus agreed with General Venierro as she could feel them, "He's right. I can still feel good in them. Please save them." Adikia laughed said, "Hahahaha! It's too late for them. They're my puppets now and I, Adikia, Goddess of Injustice and All That is Evil, will be the new Supreme God of Spirit World. And a horse, really? What could a winged horse possibly do? Get them!" The evil influenced Guthorax and Neptune responded simultaneously, "Yes, Your Ungracefulness," and began attacking the other archangels.

Scene: The camp in a forest of Planet Zenma (noon in Terra, afternoon in Zenma)


As time passed by on the new planet. "I wonder what's going on in Demon World," Patie wondered, as she was standing on top of her's and Gash's dimensional trailer. Gash also looked up to the bright sky, wondering, "I do too." Pate said, "Well, this place does seem to be really nice." Gash kind of agrees, "Unu. But, I'll miss Kiyomaro and everyone else." Gash images Kiyomaro's happy face in the bright green sky.

Suddenly, they see a portal appearing the sky and out came a blue-armored soldier with four angel wings flapping. Everyone wondered who this man was but he greeted himself, "Greetings. It's me, D.D. Veni." Everyone was confused since, while they do recognize his hairstyle and body type, he looked so different without the bug mask, the change in wings, and change in armor. Suddenly, everyone that decided to wander off were immediately teleported back to camp with them saying in confusion, "What's going on?" Venierro explained, "Don't be alarmed. To truth be told, this is my true form. My apologies for hiding my secret identity. My real name if Venierro. Digression aside, we are still the best we can, saving Demon World. If you really need to know what's really going on in Demon World..." Venierro turns around, facing the sky, and casts, "Dimensional Æther: Subspace Vision [次元霊気:亜空間視覚, Jigenreiki: Akūkan Shikaku]!" creating a visionary dimensional portal to show the events happening in the capital city of Demon World. The survivors had no idea what kind of incantation that spell was since it was not demon magic but they didn't seem to care.

First, Vienerro showed them the aftermath of the battles of Stalghor and Zon'mortuis. The area where Stalghor fought appears to be empty but still in ruins while the ruined village where Zon'mortuis fought appears to be completely frozen solid. Venierro said, "We've successfully incapacitated both undead necrolytes. But we apologize for those that live in that town. Guess General Karoa had no choice." He then show the dead forest where Araesa Blackforest was seen, "Guess Major General Rosella finally did it but..." Venierro cannot believe that Rosella sacrificed herself and sealed herself with her former friend. While he hasn't visited these areas, he can still read minds through the subspace visions, even from those nearby or within sight of the vision and many soldiers—dead, alive, and injured—appeared on the screen. Some kids were scared seeing gruesome content like that but Venierro didn't mean to scare them.

A female demon mother asked him while holding her scared child, "Please, stop. Children don't need to see these kinds of stuff." Venierro turned off his divine dimensional vision spell and apologized, "My apologies for showing such horrifying content. But as you saw, while we have lost lots of our soldiers, some being your family—my apologies—their deaths are not in vain. We are closer to victory. His Majesty prefers to return to Demon World when we win, which is why we are sacrificing our lives for his wish. All that's left are the Dark Lord and his second-in-command." He then thought to himself, I can't show them what's really happening out there. No need to worry about the Dark Lord and his rogued necrolyte when they're brawling to the death, but that female archdevil... Just in case if any mind readers attempted to read Venierro's mind, he shielded his mind through occlumency. He's purposely trying to keep the traditional law of Spirit World a secret from all living beings even though the military soldiers of Demon World are starting to figure them out.

Scene: The Sky Battlefield above the Dark Fortress in Demon World (noon)


[Insert random battle music]
The evil influenced Neptune incanted, "Water Æther: Sea God's Wrath!" and created a surf of divine water waves that floated across the sky and a water-like blue aura around his body. Jupiter and Mars were prepared to guard the waves but the sky water waves diverted away from the group. Mercury, already equipped with the Armor of Neptune (via Water Blessing: Neptune's Armor), used the power of his armor stopped his teacher's water attack activation and instructed, "Leave Neptune-sensei to me. Holy Father, Mars, focus on the other two." King Jupiter nodded and Mars said to the holy beast, "Right. Do your thing Pegasus. Unblight this world with your light." Pegasus neighs in the sky, "Neigh~~~~!"

Pegasus dives down and stomps through the air as it flies and emits holy light that is clearing the dark sky, bringing light into Demon World, and slowly clearing the blighted land of Demon World, reviving the beautiful nature that the land of Demon World once had. While there were still lots of areas still covered in the blight of the dead, a lot of demon soldiers were surprised to see the land in their area returning to normal. However, those soldiers couldn't keep their guards down while dark devils were attacking them.

As Mercury was battling Neptune and as Mars and Jupiter were battling Dark Guthorax, Adikia taunted them, "Really? You're actually using that stupid horse to save this helpless world? Wow, just let this pointless planet die." She aims her right hand at Pegasus and incants, "Death Nether: Death Ray!" firing a negative purple beam at Pegasus in an attempt to instantly kill Pegasus. "Time Æther: Zone Pause!" Saturn temporarily halts the Death Ray in place, floating in the air, doing nothing, although, because of the Eye of Spacetime Distortion, the spell didn't last long as the beam hit the ground with no damage inflicted on the land. "What?" Adikia was surprised. Saturn appeared next to Adikia out of nowhere as he incants, "Time Blessing: Youth!" Saturn aged himself younger to a stronger body and threw an aerial blade at Adikia with his scythe. Adikia reacts in time to dodge the aerial attack, "Whoa! The heck was that?" Small angry veins slowly appeared on Saturn's face as he said furiously soft, "Adikia, for all the things you have done: Sending my wife to a slow permanent death, corrupting our previous Supreme God and creating havoc in Spirit World, murdering and absorbing our latest Supreme God... I may be a humble old man as the Great Angelic Saint of Humility but you... I'll never forgive as someone as devious as you." Adikia said with an evil grin and arms crossed, "Well, what do you expect, ex-Paradise King? I'm an archdevil, after all." Saturn said, "Not all archdevils are as cruel as you are." Saturn is remembering the times he spent with the archdevil and former demon Lich before his disappearance. "I should have prevented your birth when I had the chance, though it happened too quickly and it was already too late. But I'll stop you here, right here, right now! Earth Blessing: Terra's Armor!" Young Saturn covers his entire body in an armor of minerals.

Adikia taunted Saturn, "Come at me, old man. And don't think about reverting time. The Eye of Spacetime Distortion in the void already corrupted all time magic. Your form won't last. You couldn't hold down my spell long enough." Suddenly, Saturn disappears. Adikia's guard was down, "What?" and nearly got slashed down with the right side of her torso cut, "Argh!" Adikia barely avoiding an unexpected attack by Saturn but rather than appeared bleeding, the inside of Adikia's body appears to be made of dark purple nether energy. Saturn noticed Adikia's dodge though, "I see. Normally, you would have already been dead where you stand but having the Supreme God's power, you managed to see my Time Stop and react in time." Saturn indeed secretly used Time Æther: Stop. However, he wasn't able to maintain the halt of time due to the Eye of Spacetime Distortion but Adikia was still able to see right through the halt of time, having the powers of a Supreme God. She also used the Supreme God's powers to slowly heal herself and said, "I see. So it's true that the Spirit World Supreme God can see any change in time. Heh heh!"

Scene: Outside the Dark Fortress in the Capital of Demon World (noon)


Meanwhile, "Kiikikikiki!" "Tch! These ghost freaks are every where! Rēdo Dirasu Zakeruga!" Marshal General Zeon Bell created a huge electrical buzz saw-like yo-yo and swing it at dark devils in the sky. However, while his electrical buzz-saw did slice through their incorporeal nether bodies, their ghost-like bodies came back together unharmed. A large dark devil with four horns and an evil large grin laughed and counterattacked, "Kyakyakya! Puny demons, take this! Death Nether: Storm of Death [死冥気:死の嵐, Shimeiki: Shi no Arashi]!" The powerful-looking devil unleashed a raining barrage of negative purple energy. Zeon and the high ranking soldiers dodged or guarded against the raining attack with shield magic but those that physically got hit by the attack immediately died. An overkill attack. However, a holy barrier protected the rest of the Resistance and that large dark devil was suddenly eliminated by an angel's bright light beam attack, "Light Blessing: Shining Holy Spear [光恵:輝く聖槍, Kōmegumi: Kagayaku Seisō]!" That angel happens to be Captain Lucius of the Angel Peacekeeping Army. His Shining Holy Spear attack is a brighter and stronger Holy Spear attack.

Zeon said, "That was crazy. I have no idea who they are or where they came from but it seems like they're on our side. Huh?" Suddenly, as Pegasus passed by the Dark Fortress, the blighted area where Zeon and General Whir are at became clean and beautiful again with the Pegasus' holy light. Among General Whir's group, Corporal Earth wondered, "The land. It's back to normal," while Corporal Vincent Bari wondered, "What is that winged horse? A pegasus?" Sergeant Major Victor said, "A holy light that shines across the lands of Demon World. What in the name of the heaven's light is that beautiful winged horse?" He and a lot of other soldiers were feeling happiness. General Whir said while holding the King's crown, "It's strange. I can't believe how well this is going. What the heck's going on here? They aren't our people but they know what they're doing. Now what?"

Suddenly, some sneaky dark devils ambushed the flying Pegasus with, "Death Nether: Death Ray!" Pegasus noticed it and casted a spherical barrier of holy light to protect himself while galloping through the air. However, a very sneaky dark devil infiltrated in the Pegasus light and in the last ray of hope, Pegasus was shot dead, "Death Ray!" The attacker was destroyed by Pegasus's holy light at the same time. As Pegasus's spiritual particles spread through the air and were transported back to Paradise of Spirit World, Mars shouting from the sky, "Nooo!" while he holds off against Neptune as the evil influenced Neptune shouted, "Gosh darn it, Mars. I should have never trusted you with my Pegasus! Nephew or now, I'll hold you deeply responsible for this, Mars! With your life!" With his backup sword locked on Neptune's trident, Mars shouts, "Come on, Uncle, snap out of it!" Neptune's body was slowly turning more devilish by the second by Adikia's Evil Influence with Mars noticing, "Y-Your body..." while Dark Guthorax remained the same. Mercury in his Neptune Armor made a fast strike on Neptune with his Caduceus and said, "I got you covered. Focus that other guy with Our Holy Father." Mars replied, "I'm trying dude but uncle got in my way."

Back on the ground near the Dark Fortress, some soldiers from other groups grouped up with the main troops with one of them shouting, "Your Highness, Whir-dono, we've got big news." As they listened, the other rushing soldier said, "It appears the Dark Lord and the Warchief are in mortal combat..." The first one continued, "And they are fricken huge..." while the second one continued, "Look over there, near the mountains." General Whir and Zeon Bell jumped on top of the Dark Fortress and found the titan-sized Dark King and Deathscream battling out in a distance on blighted land and a soldier asked, "What should we do?" Zeon asked, "So that's the Dark Lord's undead form." General Whir said, "So that's why the Dark Lord left in a hurry after entering that form. They must had some kind of quarry recently. I can't believe this battle has gone out so smoothly, compared to our previous attempts. The other three necrolytes down for the count and these two are battling to the death. We'd usually get surrounded by hordes of the undead and now we suddenly got reinforcements protecting us. This certainly wasn't part of our strategy, but we'll take what we're given." The soldier asked again, "Your orders, General? Commander?" General Whir said, "We'll wait. If they'll actually end up beating each other to the death, we'll destroy the other. Then we get His Majesty back and call it a home. Speaking of His Majesty, where has Veni taken them? Veni, where the heck are you? Show yourself! I know you can hear me somewhere."

With that being said, General Venierro teleports to General Whir's location, "My apologies, Whir-dono." However, it seems he has two young demons following behind him as the former King shouts, "Zeon!" Patie was surprised, "Are we really back? It's too beautiful to be—" Zeon was shocked, "Gash-sama? What are—What's the idea bring them here?" Whir told Venierro harshly, "You have a lot of explaining to do. What's this idea?" Venierro apologized, "My apologies. I couldn't disobey His Majesty. They were desperate in returning when they saw the land clearing." General Venierro has shown a little bit more of what's going on in Demon World without exploiting the deities. General Whir said in a threatening tone, "And are you really Veni? Have you, as a Royal Knight, been hiding a secret from us? And where did you get that armor and those wings? Are you one of those guys up there?" General Venierro looked up and saw the battle of the deities, as well as nephalems battling against dark devils and rogued dark nephalems and said to his Demon World knights honorably, "I guess I can no longer keep my identity a secret. Venierro is my full first name and I'm only half-demon; a nephalem; angel-demon hybrid. I came from the afterlife world known as the Spirit World and yes, the mythical world in your mythology really does exist, but for protection of life and death and to prevent invaders and necro-pandemonium, Spirit World must be kept a secret and away from the public so please, don't tell anything I say to the living public." Gash asks him, "Is that true? So, are my parents there?" Patie asked, "And mine?" Venierro replied, "Yes. But I'm not sure which realms they live in, but it depends on their deeds in the living world. But I digress." He then explains about himself, "I am a General of the Nephalem Military Police Force, led by the archangel Neptune. Right now, my boss is under mental control by a female archdevil up there in the sky, known as Adikia. I heard from my Supreme God that this female archdevil caused a huge uproar in Spirit World Kingdom billions of years ago and was banished from existence along with our first Supreme God. Now that she's returned, if she is not stopped or returned to her original self, Spirit World will be in grave and potentially, this entire universe. I hope the other deities can save my boss and our former Supreme God from her grasp. We just lost our second Supreme God to her."

General Whir wondered, "I don't really get what you're saying but tell me, who's side on you are? Are you a traitor? And that incident back at the sanctuary?" General Venierro said, "I figured it out. Spiritual remnants of that female archdevil in the sky were hiding among the living and one of them possessed Galactica. She's been watching us for a long time. A long time ago, I was sent by our second Supreme God to investigate the living world for these spiritual remnants. When I came across this planet, I joined your military and heard a rumor from our Supreme God that one of these remnants may have been among your ranks, which is why I had to join to find out. I've suspected Galactica for a while. But know this Whir-dono, I still honor Demon World Military. It's a home to me as much as my own military. They'll do whatever they can to prevent dark devils and dark nephalems from attacking this world but know this, they are not here to fix Demon World's problem... at least we weren't supposed to until I saw Pegasus cleaning the world, which was a deep surprise to me. We were supposed to be forbidden from acting among affairs in the living world, but me, as a soldier of Demon World Military, I had no choice but to disobey that law and I did for thousands of years living here. I feel disgraceful to my own kind as their military general but I had no choice, for the sake of my mission. I should have stopped Galactica a long time ago but I didn't have enough evidence to justify it. But if I did, Golbar and the others would still be alive but I didn't have proof to do‒" General Whir didn't want to hear anymore, "Fine, enough."

Gash noticed General Whir was holding his crown behind Whir's back, "Ah, my crown!" General Whir bowed and said, "Oh, my apologies for hiding this, Your Majesty," and gave Gash his crown back. Gash and Patie were happy but... "But as long as the current King of Demon World still lives in this world, the crown will only see him as King. We're still waiting for the best time to strike. But note this, you've already used a wish when you won the Battle to Determine King of Demon World, right? The crown cannot grant the same King a second wish. The plague may probably be gone once this is all over but the damage is done. So I'm afraid, this world may take a long time to recover, especially since that giant Pegasus vanished into thin air for no reason. An unknown miracle that died without fulfillment. I'm also afraid to say this, but you are better off on that new planet until then." Gash felt saddened but Patie intervened and said, "Wait." General Whir listened and Patie told her idea, "I'm the King's girlfriend, Patie. What if, I could use his crown to umm... make the world beautiful world again under Gash-chan's reign again?" General Whir thought it was a good idea, "That's not a bad idea if you phrase it like that." Gash smiled, "Really? You'll do that for me?" Patie said, "Of course. You are the true King of this world after all..." then said in an angry tone as she notices the hostages among the soldiers, "... And not this guy over here! What's he doing alive?!"

Patie spotted Hyenus Maximus and Thodrum Thunderbeard secured by soldiers with Hyenus responding, "Okay, my bad! Definitely all my fault, definitely! I didn't think that—" The soldier securing him yelled at him in an army voice, "Shut your pie hole, dirty scum!" and frightened Maximus. Gash wondered, "Ahh, you're that guy." Zeon said, "He's no threat to us anymore but I wouldn't trust him. But right now, we're waiting for the other divisions. We're all supposed to meet up here."

Suddenly, A soldier on top of the fortress shouted to the others, "General, Your Highness, you've got to see this." Something must have happened at the battle between the Dark Lord and the Warchief.

Scene: Northern border of the Capital (noon)


[Insert random battle music]
The battle between the Dark Lord of the Lich King and the Necromancer of the Earth rages on in the northern area that is still blighted in undead stench. Surprisingly, the wrathful orcish warlock is at the upper hand with his new found powers as he bashes Lich King Gul'ren through the border wall, "Is that all you got My King? I'm just getting started with my new powers of the Nether. Destruction Nether: Shattering Earth [破壊冥気:地球を粉砕, Hakaimeiki: Chikyū o Funsai]!" The giant earth-armored Deathscream aimed his right hand at Gul'ren as he landed on the ground and casted a destructive earth-elemental Nether beneath the ground where Gul'ren lands, quaking and destroying the land where Gul'ren sat, creating a massive bottomless pit to the void. Nether spirits of the void (not Adikia) attempted to pull Gul'ren into the void until a powerful explosion occurred within the bottomless pit with Lich King Gul'ren slowly floating right out the pit while emitting a cold ghastly fog from his body that froze the limitless pit solid. Gul'ren said, "You should never underestimate the power of the Lich King, Warchief." A voice then said in Gul'ren's head, "Duskreaver, end this battle already, once and for all." Gul'ren replied through his mind, give me a minute, Lich King. I'll deal with this traitor. And don't use my family name. I'd prefer not to be called by that.

Lord Gul'ren shouted, "You shall feel my anger," and released ghastly electricity from his bony large hands via Ryū Zakeru. Dan'ro Deathscream summons a giant earth wall as a shield but the phantom lightning bolts surround the wall and pass through it to shock Deathscream, slowly draining away his spirit, "Ergh!" Normally, lightning would be grounded by the earth but phantom lightning is not normal electricity as it can go through objects like a ghost. Dan'ro shouted as he resisted Lord Gul'ren's Ryū Zakeru, "Do not... UNDERESTIMATE ME!" and broke free from the electricity, "I only used a fraction of my new power. I could obliterate this planet into nothingness if I want to with my previous attack." He then summoned giant boulders and threw them but Gul'ren used Ryūporuku (a spell Zecross had) to turn his body incorporeal to avoid the boulders, then conjured ghastly flames at Deathscream, which Deathscream guarded against. Deathscream's new nether powers, specifically Destruction Nether: Shattering Earth, can completely destroy an entire planet the user stands and everything on it but even he is not that chaotic or stupid to destroy everything on Planet Terra including himself.

Gul'ren said as he was preparing a familiar spell, "Then I'll kill you now where you stand with his power." Gul'ren summoned several shadow reapers via Zecross's Shidona Reaper but much larger and Gul'ren targeted them at Dan'ro Deathscream. "The Shidona Reaper is weak compared to my new nether powers. Destruction Nether: Obliteration!" As the large reapers of instant death grew near to the earth titan Dan'ro Deathscream, Dan'ro aimed his arms near the reapers of death. Crystals on his earth body glowed and metal ores on his earth body shined as Dan'ro immediately destroyed the large shadow reapers on near contact before they could touch his stone cold armored body. "Do not underestimate the Dark Master's powers of the Nether. The Shidona Reaper is feeble compared to what I can do. I am the new God of Destruction!" It seems Gul'ren already figured out how to use his new Nether powers and have mastered them instantly. He can potentially become the new God of Destruction, replacing Belphebub. Gul'ren said deeply, "We'll see about that."

As the battle between the two dark titans rages on, it turns out that Dan'ro Deathscream is still in the lead as Lord Gul'ren gets knocked back again. Lord Gul'ren seems to be really frustrated, it can't be. Are the Master's powers really this overwhelming? The Lich King's powers... Is it not enough? Dan'ro Deathscream looks down at Lord Gul'ren, "You're a disappointment. Pathetic excuse for a Dark Lord. Now, that title will be mine and your soul..." Dan'ro extracts Lord Gul'ren's soul from his godlike undead body as Gul'ren's soul shouted in anger, "You'll pay for this, Deathscream! YOU'LL PAY!" The purple glowing dots within the eye sockets of the Lich King's body disappeared and Gul'ren's soul essence was pulled into Dan'ro's giant left rocky thick hand. He continued his statement, "... Will be obliterated." Dan'ro plans on completely destroying Gul'ren's soul, banishing him to the void... However...

A few seconds after the black emptiness inside the Lich King's eye sockets, it started glowing with yellow spooky dots. The Lich King himself summoned titanic-sized hands from the ground from a dark green portal that were even bigger than his titan-sized body to encase the titan-sized Dan'ro Deathscream along with Gul'ren's soul, "Heh?!" and said sharply deep, "To the Netherworld with you," pulling the victorious Deathscream into the ground and banished him and Lord Gul'ren into the Netherworld. They are now technically dead with Gul'ren unable to resurrect himself anymore. The Acolytes of the Nether have been defeated, but it's not over yet...

As Lich stares into the sky, he said, "Because of him I couldn't save Enma-dono. That cocky Dark Lord. Stalghor, I summon and restore thee!!" Turns out that a bone of Stalghor still existed in Demon World. The Demon Beast Skeleton seems to always have a backup and the bone recreated Stalghor's dragon transformation within a few second. Stalghor stares into the air with his red glowing eye dots as he views the battle of the gods, glaring at Adikia, and flew up into the air. As the soldiers from below looked up into the air, the soldiers that battled against the Demon Beast Skeleton were shocked that Stalghor was still active, "No way!"/"The Demon Beast Skeleton?"/"Didn't Veni-sama banished him from Demon World?"

Patie and Gash were scared but curious with Patie saying, "It's that thing...?" Gash said, "The one Brago fought?" General Venierro was surprised, "Impossible. I banished him from this world unless... he still had a backup. Of course, it wouldn't be that easy. Though it's strange. His mind is set to..." Yup, Stalghor, under his master's orders, is focused on helping the deities against Adikia. Lich still seeks revenge against Adikia to this day and will aid the archangels but will they trust the aid of an archdevil?

Scene: Near the Dark Fortress of the Capital (afternoon)


Suddenly, the king's crown started to glow in Gash's hands, "Huh?" "It's glowing," said Patie. It's ready to select a new ruler of Demon World as General Whir said in confusing as he looks at the Lich King, "Impossible? Is the crown ready to select a new King? But isn't the Dark Lord still...?" General Venierro sensed a different presence and said, "No. The Dark Lord's presence just banished from this world. From the Spirit World, I can barely sense the Dark Lord's soul in the Netherworld, the infernal realm of below the Kingdom I live in. But... who is this? An archdevil? Was an archdevil hiding inside the Dark Lord the entire time? How'd I miss it? But it's strange... he's using the Demon Beast Skeleton to..." It's clear that General Venierro, while he was told about Adikia, was never told about Lich, Yama's former student. General Whir wondered, "Archdevils, archangels? Spirit World? So all those weren't just a myth after all, aren't they?" General Venierro complained, "Asking too many questions that are supposed to remain secret. But yes, it's all true. The archangels are Holy Gods of Righteousness while archdevils are Unholy Gods of Evil. But please keep it a secret from the general public." He then thought to himself, but this new archdevil... While I do feel darkness and vengeance in him against her, he feels different than the archdevils I heard of. I can't tell if he's really evil at all. Archdevils of the Netherworld are natively evil but he's sensing Lich's mind and heart to be chaotic neutral. It's mostly because Lich was originally a demon that transcended into an archdevil natively in the Spirit World Kingdom. It's impossible for a non-hybrid to transcend into an archnephalem (and Zega of the future timeline already had an angelic trait natively as a demon, which is how he became one).

Venierro then told the children the same thing he told Whir, Zeon, and the other soldiers, "Same goes for you, My King and his bride-to-be. Don't tell any of your friends what you just saw. I tried avoiding showing anything that was meant to be concealed from our world. It's just to protect the Spirit World from unwanted living beings who could potentially disturb the dead endlessly." Gash and Patie understood, "Unu..."/"Okay..." Patie wondered, "So, about that wish?" Venierro said, "Hold that thought. Not until we see how this battle plays out as it's very risky if something goes wrong because of this battle. And whatever wish may you have won't affect the gods or any aliens not habiting this planet and you don't want to waste a wish during this kind of battle if the world turns into chaos again." Patie kept that in mind.

Wishes that affects others only affect those who lived on the owner's planet and wishes won't affect alienated worlds except the Spirit World as the user could use the King's wish to resurrect their families, friends, civilians, etc. (but not aliens that never lived on the owner's planet).

Scene: Battle high in the sky (afternoon)


The battle between the gods continue to rage out and it appears that the archangels are losing. Neptune destroyed Mercury's water armor with his enraged water trident with Mercury being knocked back, "Argh!" Venus grabbed Mercury and incanted, "Holy Healing..." to heal Mercury's wounds and energy as he thanked her, "Thanks. I've got to stop him before he completely turns." Neptune's transformation is in-between archangel and archdevil and his light blue angel wings are very gray right now and his eyes glowed with a dark blue coloring.

Meanwhile, Dark Guthorax incanted, "Destruction Nether: Erasure Gun [破壊冥気:消去砲, Hakaimeiki: Shōkyohō]!" firing a dark sphere of destruction energy from his left index finger hand at Jupiter as he attempted to block with, "Lightning Blessing: Lightning Eagle Shield!" turning his Lightning Staff blessing into a large eagle-themed lightning shield. The shield is highly defensive but it wouldn't matter against Destruction Nether. As Dark Guthorax's Erasure Gun was blowing up King Jupiter's electric shield, King Jupiter put his guard up with his arms, but Dark Guthorax provided an incantation following up his nether spell with another Destruction Nether, "... Cluster Bomb..." After blowing up Jupiter's eagle shield, the explosion multiplied all around the first explosion. As Jupiter was guarding with his arms, his left forearm got annihilated, "Arrggh!" and Jupiter was bleeding from his left bicep. Mars shouted in worrisome, "Father!" Dark Guthorax said while aiming at Jupiter, "Let's finish this, Death Neth—Heh?" Dark Guthorax fired the Death Ray at Jupiter but noticed a summoned giant bony hand was protecting King Jupiter as a shield.

The archangels don't know what happened and as Adikia reacted in surprise while battling young Saturn, "Huh?" Dragon Stalghor assaulted and pushed away Neptune when Neptune attempted to impale Mercury and Venus. They were shocked, "Ahh?" Mercury wondered, "What's this?" Adikia was confused. Somewhere, the Lich King said, "Resurrect from the frozen lands. Zon'mortuis the Immortal Assassin. Soul Curse: Undead Summoning [魂呪:アンデッド召喚, Konoroi: Andeddo Shōka]!" Suddenly, an invisible creature jumped off of Stalghor and without anyone knowing and stroke through Adikia's body as she screamed in pain, "Ahh!!! What's going? Ahh!" The invisible Zon'mortuis came through Adikia's back where the heart would normally be (although being partly made of nether energy, she doesn't have organs anymore) and appeared out through her chest. Zon'mortuis lands on Stalghor's draconic bones with frostbite all over his body. He would have been completely frozen for eternity if it wasn't for the Lich King teleporting him and restoring his undead body.

On the ground, as General Karoa was still unconscious, being healed, one of her Colonel-ranked aquatic soldiers wondered as he stared into the sky, wait, what was that? It can't be, General Karoa made sure to seal him away permanently. No, it can't be him but what was that in the sky? Zombies can fly now? I must be losing it.

Suddenly, Neptune and Guthorax were slowly getting their senses back with Neptune slowly turning back to archangel from the midway point, "Errrgh! My head!" Neptune was worried, "Master?" Saturn was wondering who is helping them and he may know, "These undead creatures... could it be...?"

Mars said while holding his holy father up, "Father, you okay? That guy, though?" Mars then detected some strange dark presence in the area, "Heh?" and found a giant skeletal mage floating in the air, "Ahh! What is this? Another archdevil?" Venus was shocked and Mercury wondered, "Who the heck is this?" King Jupiter, who was injured, wondered, "What, another archdevil here?" Mercury and Mars kept their guard up for this new archdevil and Mercury said, "Whatever you think you are doing? Stand back, whoever you are and go back wherever you came from. Just, what are you?" The Lich King was looking around with his glowing yellow eye dots and said, "It's been a long time Saturn. You certainly aged... a lot." Saturn appeared shocked as his Youth blessing was wearing out, giving him wrinkles and gray hair. Lich then directed his attention at Adikia, "But as for you... Adikia... " Adikia wondered, "Who do you think you... Wait, but... Impossible! You were supposed to be dead. I erased you! How are you still alive after all these years?! Arggh!" Adikia is feeling pain. Lich said, "I... am... Death. Adikia, after all these years, vengeance is mine! How dare you do that to Enma-dono, my master!" Lich unleashed a storm of ominous dark energy at Adikia, torturing her, "Arrrgh!"

After Dark Guthorax came back to his senses, he recognized the new guy, "Huh? Lich?" Mars turned his back to see what Guthorax was up to and wondered about that new archdevil, "Lich?" Lich said, "Billion years have passed ever since I've been in living that infernal hole. Now, I'll send you to that wretched world and you'll feel the torment I shared." While Lich said that, Lich opened a dimensional portal behind Adikia, leading to the Corruption World and Stalghor bashed Adikia towards the portal. Adikia hangs outside the portal, grasping the edges of Demon World. As Stalghor assaulted her again to get Adikia into the Corruption World with Zon'mortuis on top of his bony dragon head, Zon'mortuis jumped for a deadly slash of his undead nails, Adikia quickly broke up souls of her body and fled into space, opening another portal for her to escape. Stalghor and Zon'mortuis accidentally disappears into the Corruption World, where they'll slowly rot into nothingness.
[/End of random battle music]

"Blasted. She will not escape my wrath," Lich shouted in frustration since he was close to victory. As Lich opened to the portal to Spirit World with, "Dimensional Portal!" one-armed King Jupiter shouted, "Hold up, you fiend! Who are you and what do you think you're doing?" Mars said, "You're definitely an archdevil alright. Are you an archdevil?" He puts his guard up and the other archangels got worried but Saturn got curious, "Hmm..." Lich said, "Now's not the time, second King of Paradise. If we don't do something, Adikia will corrupt the entire Spirit World." Mars wondered, "And why should we trust you? You're an archdevil, right? Why do you care?" Lich said, "Do not compare me to your modern day archdevils. I would much be preferred to be called an archdemon but regardless I am archdevil by race." Mars said, "I got a funny feeling from this guy," while Mercury said, "Same." Saturn said, "Lich, it's been a really long time. What happened in that wretched realm? What happened to my wife?" King Jupiter said, "Wife? Did he do something to Mother?" Mars shouted at Lich while putting his guard up, "What did you do?" Lich said, "Feister ones, you new generation archangels are. Queen Ops... Ex-queen Ops is safe." Lich summons the soul of Ops as well as her body. She appears to be unconscious but she seems to have all of their body. Lich used telekinesis to move Ops to Saturns arms, "Ops!" He was surprised and so were the other archangels. While holding his young-looking obese wife in his arms, old Saturn cried over her body, "Ops... I thought I'd never see you again."

Lich's body suddenly starting breaking away slowly and said, "I kept her alive all these years. Me, however, I'm already dead... beyond undeath... My body will fade away to the void unless if I go to the Netherworld. This blighted world saved me as much as it could but I used up all my restored energy. I made many unforgiving sacrifices in the living world to keep her alive, more so than I. Therefore I'm taking the consequences of the Corruption World's effect." Mercury wondered, "Corruption World?" Neptune said, "It's a forbidden world where we used to send the worst of the worst to, from what Enma-sama said, but there was no need since there is the Netherworld." Lich then summons a dimensional portal with last few remaining energy, "Quickly now, Spirit World is in danger. I'll soon vanquish and fade into non-existence due to the Corruption World destroying my body beyond undeath unless if I heal properly in the purgatories of the Netherworld. I'll be greeting your elder brother, young Jupiter, young Neptune. Last time I saw you three was when you were infant cupids but only at one time. I was the one who was supposed to rule over the Netherworld anyway until your feisty elder brother finished it for me, taking over as the Underworld Deity but I was already banished to the Corruption World by Adikia long before then. Save the Spirit World and obliterate Adikia or save her former self. Also, Neptune, you've done wondrous in my place as Head of Security in the Kingdom when I was away. Now, enough stalling. I can't hold this portal any longer. The Eye of Spacetime Distortion I created is trying to corrupt my portal and I'm the only one who can get around its effect, knowing how it works. Besides, my bones are disappearing from the effects of the Corruption World and my portal won't last long either way unless if you can figure a way around my mystical artifiact."

Dark Guthorax said, "He's right. We must go." Mars asked cautiously, "Why do we think we could trust you?" Dark Guthorax said, "It's my fault for releasing that archfiend and I will bring her back to balance or destroy her if I must. I was once the God of Balance and I'll make things right again. I can't believe that she used me this entire time in my fit of rage and how did I not notice until now? No, she prevented me from creating suspicion of her actions over me with her mental manipulation powers. Still, I am disgraceful to myself as the God of Balance and ex-Supreme God but now's not the time to throw a fit. We must save Spirit World at all cost and I'll give you my aid and fix my grave mistake. I must return back to balance now that I am back to my true self." Mars was still skeptical and asked his father Jupiter, "Father?" and his grandfather Saturn, "Grandpa?" King Jupiter is unsure but Saturn said, "Glad you're back to your old self, Guthorax-sama. We must hurry." If Saturn agrees to Guthorax's return then so do the other archangels with Venus saying in relief, "Thank goodness." The archangels went into the Dimensional Portal to Spirit World as Lich's portal was becoming unstable and Lich dematerializes his body to transport himself to the Netherworld through the portal. The unholy environment of the Netherworld will heal the Lich King's undead body much faster than the blighted grounds of Demon World.

Scene: Near the Dark Fortress of Spirit World


Marshal General Zeon Bell said as he looked up in the air, "They're gone." Gash wondered, "Where did they go?" General Venierro in this world is shaken in fear, "This is bad... This is really bad. That fiendish woman... how'd she caused this much discord already?" General Whir wondered, "What's going on?"

Scene: Spirit World Kingdom


"I can't believe she already has the archdevils under her whim," said by the dimensional clone of General Venierro of Spirit World Kingdom. "Tch!" This is bad. Most of our military is in Demon World and we don't have the fighting power to stop an entire group of archdevils. "Everyone, divide yourselves into smaller divisions. Restrain the archdevils and stay cautious at 110 percent!" Archdevils are rampaging in Spirit World Kingdom, including King Hades as he made a battle shout, "Raaaah!" The female archdevils' evil laugh is heard in a background, "Muhahahaha! Ahh-hahahahaha!"

Despite being shown as a villain, it turns out that the "Dark Master" was a victim the entire time, manipulated by his former student: Creating the God of Destruction Belphebub in an attempt to destroy the Netherworld and later Demon World of the future, making a deal with necromancers, all of those deeds... Adikia was the one pulling the strings inside Guthorax's head the entire time and there was nothing Guthorax could do to realize the things he was doing. Adikia, as the Goddess of Injustice, certainly has a special gift for mind-controlling dark-hearted beings and is very slick and sly despite being caught in Yama's trap a long time ago. Will Gurthorax and the archangels defeat the true villain and restore her true self, save Spirit World, as well as the entire universe?
