Golden Gash!!: Demon Revolution Army (remake)


Golden Gash!!: Demon Revolution Army, also known as "Konjiki no Gash!!: Mamono no Kakumei-gun (金色のガッシュ! !：魔物の革命軍)" and "Zatch Bell!: Mamodo Revolution Army" is a Zatch Bell! / Konjiki no Gash (Bell)!! fan fiction that I created. This fan fiction takes place directly after the manga, more specifically after the one-shot Konjiki no Gash!! Gaiden manga. It takes place a whole year after the Demon Battle of the third millennium (200X A.D.) has started. 27 years later, an evil organization called the Demon Revolution Army is formed. This Revolution Army plans on overthrowing the kind King Zatch (Gash) Bell and put Demon World into chaos. Heroes, including Raiden Bell and Rain Bell, who are the (theoretical) sons of King Zatch (Gash) Bell and Queen Patie (Penny) Bell, as well as Zeon Bell (now a good demon) and his Demon World Military have successfully defeated the Demon Revolution Army but with some costs of good lives. However, Dr. Zulu, the lone survivor of the Demon Revolution Army and former seventh Death General, attempted to conquer the Human World of the present time and Demon World of the past time. However, the heroes managed to stop Dr. Zulu twice, bringing peace back to the past and present. Some time after returning back to the present...

This is a remade version of the original Golden Gash!!: Demon Revolution Army fan fiction. The remake's storyline is similar to the original but written differently with some major changes to the story but still flows along with the original storyline. In this fan fiction remake, I will be using Japanese names and Japanese terms instead of their English counterparts.

Chapter 18: A New God, A New War


NOTE: This chapter is a remade version of Chapter 15-6 "Resurrection" and Chapter 15-7 "Netherworld Army" of the original Golden Gash!!: Demon Revolution Army fan fiction series. This was a two-part chapter on DeviantART due to DeviantART's journal character limit of 64.7 kilobytes (66,306 bytes/characters). When converting the chapter from DeviantART to Blogger, all parts were merged.

Recap


[Insert random recap music]
Zecross has successfully defeated the Netherworld King (冥界王, Meikaiō) Hades (real name "Pluto") by using Zarpi's hypnotic abilities, enhanced by Dr. Zulu, to take control of Netherworld's Four Great Demon Lords (四大魔王, Shi Daimaō) to kill him as only physical force and Spirit World magic can kill a Spirit World deity and in this case, killing an archdevil (大悪魔, dai akuma) with another archdevil. The Four Great Demon Lords were angry and upset over King Zecross' reign of the Netherworld but because of their Devil's Code, they must be loyal and protective to the Netherworld King, no matter who it is. However, the Four Great Demon Lords became interested in Zecross' plan on conquering Spirit World and Demon World and are about to break out of Netherworld.

Zega is displeased with his younger twin brother taking revenge against Demon World as Zega accepted his defeat, holding no grudge to Demon World, while Netherworld King Zecross plans on starting a new war. Right now, King Zecross has the advantage over his older twin brother Zega. Unable to stop his brother, Zega is continuing to follow his brother's plan to escape the Spirit World.

Scene: All around Netherworld


After Zecross became the new King of the Netherworld and became charismatic over the Four Great Demon Lords of the Netherworld by telling them his plans, King Zecross made an announcement to the entire Netherworld from the Netherworld Palace with a magical communicator, "Attention all demons and devils! With Hades-sama slain, I Zecross-sama, declare to be the new king of the Netherworld..." Every in the Netherworld was confused but continued listening, "... As the New King of Netherworld, we're going to change the laws of the Netherworld. No one needs to suffer anymore. Now, you may all be confused and most of you have suffered in this infernal realm for many generations. As of this moment, none of you will have to suffer from Spirit World laws anymore. We're going to create a revolution, change the Spirit World laws, and return back to life, back to Demon World, where we can roam free again. The Four Great Demon Lords have agreed with my proposal so there's no need to fear them anymore and please, don't hold any grudge against them for what they did to us. It was their job by Spirit World laws to torment us. So, who's ready to escape this dead hole? Who's ready to return back to the living world, alive again? Once I acquire the power of the Supreme God, I will revive each and one of you back to Demon World and have fun. I want all demons and devils to work together. Any devils, lesser or greater, that stand in our way and rebels our revolution, show them no mercy. We all deserve freedom..."

A lot of demons and devils in were confused but as time passed, they—especially many sinful demons—were persuaded enough by the new, charismatic Netherworld King, to create a riot in the Netherworld and rushed towards the Netherworld Gate, which was blocked by the Netherworld's Gatekeeper Cerberus. Some lesser devils of the Netherworld weren't convinced by the new king, as they don't know who he is, and killed some escaping demons without mercy, however, demons fought back for their freedom and ran towards the Netherworld Gate. The hellhound archdevil Cerberus woke up from King Zecross' voice and was confused, yet angry. Without moving their mouths, the middle head said, "What? Hades-sama's..." and the right head followed it up, "... Dead?" The left head wondered, "What the heck's going on?" Cerberus is a gigantic, three-headed, black-armored black dog with dark fire mane and dark fire tail. This three-headed beast was created by ex-King Hades, serving as Hades' pet and guarding the entrance to the Netherworld. The Netherworld Gate is a gigantic dark red door with black metal trims as designs with some demonic shape and there are large stairs leading up to the gate.

Battle: Vs. Cerberus at the Netherworld Gate Entrance


[Choose random battle music: #1, #2, #3]
As dozens of sinful demons arrived at the gate entrance, one of them said, "I-it's Cerberus-sama! What should we do?" Another bad demon said recklessly, "You heard what that guy said, whoever he is. Take out anyone that gets in our way." A third demon said with a frightening expression, "Y-your crazy? How can we stop an archdevil?" Another demon said optimistically, "With force, of course. For freedom! Raaargh!" Each head of Cerberus said to the group of bad demons, "We will not let any of you escape! Dark Fire Curse: Black Purgatory [暗火呪：黒煉獄, Kurahinoroi: Kurorengoku]!" Cerberus pounded the ground with his front paws, quaking the ground and creating fissures of black flames to incinerate the front group of demons and devils. The demons and devils that were caught in the infernal fissure screamed in pain and were pulled underground by the black flames before the cracks closed up. Some demons ran away in fear and hopelessness since they can't do anything against this giant hellhound. The three heads of Cerberus yelled, "You are you going anywhere! Dark Fire Curse: Hellhounds of Fury [暗火呪：フューリーの地獄の番犬, Ankanoroi: Fyūrī no Jigoku no Banken]!" From Cerberus' black, flaming tail, he created ten small hounds made of dark fire and used them to chase demons that are fleeing in a panic. Many demons were bitten and incinerated by these hellhounds. The name of the dark fire curse Hellhounds of Fury isn't named just for impression: In Greek Mythology, Furies (also known as "Erinyes") are three goddesses of vengeance and justice of the underworld who torture the wicked.

As many wicked demons ran away in a panic, some demons tried fighting against the Cerberus for freedom through physical force, but ultimate, it was useless and Cerberus kept killing demons one-by-one with his dark fire curses. As demons were fleeing away and successful escape some of the Hellhounds of Fury, the Four Great Demon Lords walked passed them along with King Zecross and his small crew. Some of the demons wondered, "T-the Four Great... Demon Lords?!"/"Why are they here?" Some devils wondered, "Lucid-sama? Levia..."/"Wait, that guy has the Netherworld Crown. Is he the one that...?" They noticed the Netherworld King Crown was in possession of the demon Zecross. Belphebub grabbed some bad demons and ate them since he was hungry but Asmon said, "Hey, big guy! Will you stop eating?" Belphebub said in disappointment, "But I'm hungry!" Asmon said, "Just leave them alone and... Hello! What a cutie!" Asmon noticed some cute but wicked female demons. The demons became scared as Asmon was making a perverted face. Lucid ordered Belphebub and Asmon, "Will you two cut it out?" Asmon and Belphebub apologized, "Sorry..." While demons were running away from the hellhounds, the fire hounds suddenly disappeared with a mysterious gust of wind. The Four Great Demon Lords approached Cerberus as Cerberus was attacking some demons and devils that engaged battle with Cerberus. Cerberus stopped attacking for a second and the middle head said, "Wait!" The right head wondered, "Lucid? What the heck's going on?" The left head wondered, "What happened to our master?" The middle said, "Did you do this?!" Lucid replied, "My apologies. However, we have a New King. Cerberus, why don't you join in our new adventure and have fun?" The left head said, "Why you...?!" The middle head of Cerberus yelled angrily, "Forget it! What you did to our master is unforgivable!" The right head said, "We will not bow down to the new, wretched king!" Lucid said, "It's too bad. I'm sorry for doing this, but you gave us no choice." Lucid straightened his left arm horizontally to the side and magically summoned his Nightmare Sword. Leviasatan said with jealousy, "Hey! I want to be the one to destroy Cerberus. I want to show Cerberus I'm the best fire archdevil." He then thought about it and said quieter, "Well, maybe second best next to Hades-sama..."

The left Cerberus head asked seriously, "Is that a threat?" The right head said angrily, "You will all regret this!" The middle head said, "Wait until Enma-sama finds out!" The right head wondered and argued, "Isn't it Yama-sama?" The left head yelled, "It doesn't matter!" The three heads stopped arguing, then yelled angrily at the Four Great Demon Lords, "This is for Hades-sama! Dark Fire Curse: Dark Fire Breath [暗火呪：黒火の息, Kurahinoroi: Kurohi no Iki]!" Each hound head blew out dark flames from their mouths at the Four Great Demon Lords. Leviasatan hastily made the first counter, "Fire Curse: Hellfire Breath!" As Leviastan was blowing devilish flames from his dragon mouth to guard against Cerberus' three dark flames, which wouldn't last long against Cerberus' enormous attack, Lucid ordered Belphebub, "Belphebub, get these flames out of my face." Belphebub argued in laziness, "Uuuh... Do I have—" Lucid yelled, "Now!" Belphebub said, "Alright... "Wind Curse: Force [風呪：強いる, Fūnoroi: Shiiru]!" After spinning his right arm a few resolutions vertically, he punched the air. The momentum of his fist unleashed a blast of wind, pushing Leviasatan's devilish flames forward while backfiring Cerberus' flames. Besides chain curses, Belphebub utilizes in wind-elemental curses but he generates wind via physical force. Cerberus flinched for a few second, "Ehh!" A group of random wicked demons was surprised and shocked, and some of them said, "T-the archdevils..."/"They're fighting against each other..."/"Does this mean, we'll be free...?" While Cerberus' guard was down after he got hit by his own flames, Lucid incanted, "Darkness Curse: Nightmare Aura... Shadow Slide..." Using the curse Black Aura, a nightmarish black aura surrounds Lucid, temporarily increasing his power, speed, and defense. And using the blessing Shadow Slide, Lucid's body turned into a shadow that quickly warped passed Cerberus. At the same time, Lucid delivered a quick blow with his nightmare sword to the side of Cerberus' body, killing Cerberus nearly instantly. Cerberus reacted in pain before his body disappeared into spiritual particles, "Kuuugh...!" Lucid then deactivated his Black Aura.

Post-Battle


Despite the victory, Lucid was a bit disappointed with his technique, "Teh... I could have landed that finishing blow more efficiently but it seems curses and blessings don't get along together, not to mention that my blessings are weaker as an archdevil... Though I need more practice." Leviasatan yelled in jealousy, "Oh, come on! I wanted to kill Cerberus! Kyaaaargh!!!" Lucid ordered him, "Knock it off. This isn't a competition." King Zecross said in satisfaction, "Heh. Well done." He then looked at his audience and shouted, "Everyone of the Netherworld. As of this moment, we are free from this infernal prison. This exit will lead us back to Spirit World Kingdom." The crowd of demons shouted victorious, "Yeah!!!"/"Woo!!!" Some random devils were surprised and speechless. King Zecross said to them, "I can assume there are a lot of nephalem guards on the other side of this gate. I want each and everyone of you to distract them. Once I, Zecross, current King of the Netherworld, defeat Yama-sama and take control over Spirit World, I'll revive and resurrect each and every one of you back to Demon World. We'll have a whole world to ourselves!" The crowd shouted zealously, "Yeah!!!"/"Let's get them!" After the Four Great Demon Lords climbed up the stairs and opened the giant door leading, a light was revealed and every wicked demon and devils ran out Netherworld onto the bridge leading from the Netherworld Gate to the Judgment Palace (裁きの宮殿, Sabaki no Kyūden) of Spirit World Kingdom (霊界の王国, Reikai no Ōkoku). While Belphebub was going out, devilish flies flew after him and swarm around him. Belphebub was happy and said, "Oh, my little buddies are back! Yay!" Asmon said, "Disgusting flies... You need a shower." Belphebub argued happily, "But Belphebub likes beelzeflies. Hehe!" Belphebub's personality reminded Dr. Zulu of a certain robot he made, "Wowzer, that big guy is supposed to be a god and yet, he really acts like my Yeti... but lazier! And I never got to change Yeti's personality chip, though it doesn't matter anymore; I still have some unfinished projects back in Demon World and I wonder if my Zulu Bots are still around."

Scene: Bridge and Judgment Palace of Spirit World Kingdom


The bridge area leading to the Netherworld was a bright room with a huge pit of gray clouds beneath the bridge, which is a one-way, alternate trip back to the Netherworld if someone were to fall in it. The bridge itself had white tiles and white pillars and supports with some royal blue colors and designs on top of the pillars and railings. As the Netherworld Gate opened to Spirit World Kingdom, a huge group of wicked demons and devils of the Netherworld escaped through the gate and ran across the bridge. Some of the nephalem soldiers were wondering what's going on with a gray-winged nephalem asking, "W-what's going on?" A white and black-winged nephalem soldier, who was escorting a chained-up evil demon soul to the Netherworld, reacted, "What the...?!" A third, tough-looking soldier said, "This isn't good. Not only the wicked are escaping, but... archdevils too...?!" He then ordered a few soldiers behind him, "You two, report Enma-sama that we have escapees. We'll hold him off." The two guards replied, "Yes, sir!" One of the demons in the big crowd of sinful demons and devils said, "Heh! We'll show them... For freedom!" The others agreed and one of the stronger-looking devil soldiers said, "Kyeh! It's been a long time since I seen a nephalem... Kyeh-kyeh! Let's show those neutral scum that we devils are superior." The other devils agreed and they, along with the sinful demons, battled against nephalem warriors. Demons could only fight with physical strength but devils fought using their curses while nephalems fought back with curses against demons but blessings against devils since devils are weak against blessings, white Spirit World magic. Nephalems are capable of using both curses (dark Spirit World magic) and blessings (white Spirit World magic) and they are weak to neither. However, some nephalems, especially archnephalems like King Yama of Spirit World Kingdom, are capable of using æther (霊気, reiki, also spelled as "aether" and "ether" [エーテル, ēteru]), which is divine gray Spirit World magic. Some other gods of different species are capable using æther too.

Inside the Judgment Palace of Spirit World Kingdom lies the Supreme God of Spirit World, King Yama. The palace is grayish teal with royal blue, green, and gold colors in the designs. When a demon dies, their soul is transported in front of the Judgment Palace and are queued to be judged based on their actions in the living world. Initially, dead demon souls appear in the form of a cloud until they are judged and placed. Nephalem soldiers greet new dead demon souls before the entrance and tell each soul that they must behave, regardless of their previous actions. King Yama wouldn't hesitate to banish a soul to the Netherworld regardless of their prior actions if a soul is disobedient to the Supreme God and King of Spirit World King. If a demon soul had more good deeds than evil deeds in the living world, King Yama will give the demon the option to ascend to Paradise (天国, Tengoku, also translates to "Heaven"), the holy realm above Spirit World Kingdom full of peace, harmony, and glory. Although, there are still laws in Paradise and demons that breaks Paradise's rules can be sent back to Spirit World Kingdom. When Gash Bell, Patie Bell, and Byonko died during the revolution war, their souls were placed in Paradise after being judged by King Yama.

If a demon soul had done no good or evil deeds or has a balance between good and evil deeds (even if it's slightly off), they'll live in the cities of the divine, neutral realm of Spirit World Kingdom. Spirit World Kingdom's lifestyle (including towns and laws) are just as similar as common urban life in the Human World with many towns, buildings, and a good but strict set of laws. Spirit World Kingdom is the largest realm among all realms of the Spirit World. If a demon does a lot of good deeds in Spirit World Kingdom, they may have a chance to ascend to the holy realm of Paradise. Demons that break laws in Spirit World Kingdom would usually be sent to Spirit Prison (霊刑務所, Reikeimusho) as a warning or minor punishment for a certain amount of Spirit World days, but demons that break laws multiple times or commit horrible crimes in Spirit World Kingdom will be banished to the Netherworld for many years to an eternity. And of course, if a demon were to commit more evil deeds than good deeds in the living world when being judged, they'll be banished to the infernal realm Netherworld, where they'll be tortured for many years to an eternity; though with Necross as the new Netherworld King, the Netherworld may be changed if his plan succeeds. After being placed into a realm, the demon soul is given a copy of their original physical body and they wore shaded robes based on the realm (Paradise gives white robes, Spirit World Kingdom gives gray robes, and Netherworld gives black robes).

King Yama is currently judging new demon souls that recently died in Demon World to the realm they are suited in. King Yama is a gigantic, demonic ape-like archnephalem with pointy ears, bright red skin, green eyes, black hair with beard, gray angel wings, a gray shirt with a red logo labeling 閻魔 ("Enma" in Japanese, which is his alias that his soldiers usually refer to), a gray cape with a golden trim design spelling out Yama (यम) in Sanskrit all around the edges of the cape, black pants, and silver boots with gold trim design. A few minutes ago, while he was judging the next demon soul near his giant desk, he looked through that demon's profile and said, "Let's see here. I see have done many good deeds with only one misdeed but made up for it. You may ascend to Paradise." King Yama slams a gavel on his table and the soul he judged was sent to Paradise. King Yama has the power to forcefully send demon souls to any Spirit World lands (even without being judged properly) by using æther, but will only use it when he has to, such as when a demon soul tries escaping from the Netherworld. He began judging another soul, one that had to be restrained with chains, "Well, what do we have a here? From my reports, you committed a lot of misdeeds, especially thievery, and not once redeemed yourself. What a horrible demon you are. Off to the Netherworld with you!" King Yama slams his gavel and some nephalem guards escorted the chained-up evil demon towards Gate of the Netherworld on Spirit World's bridge with one of them saying to the soul, "Serves you right, pal." The other nephalem guard said to the struggling demon soul, "Man, you're quite a feisty one." The struggling evil soul was getting worried.

A minute later, it was then archdemons, evil demon spirits, and devils escaped from the Netherworld. A nephalem soldier sent some guards back to the palace to warn King Yama. Back inside the palace, King Yama was judging another demon soul, "Well, you haven't really done anything bad, but nothing good either. You'll stay in Spirit World Kingdom until you... Wait, what's going on out there?" King Yama hears a riot going on and can feeling hundreds of wicked presences heading his way. As the guards who were carrying an evil demon soul ran back into the Judgment Palace, one of them shouted, "Enma-sama, Your Divine Majesty, we have trouble!" The other nephalem guard said, "Demons, devils, and even the archdevils... They escaped the Netherworld!" King Yama yelled in a strict, harsh tone, "What?! Don't just stand there, contact our military." The soldiers said, "Y-yes, Your Divine Majesty!" Yama then ordered the rest of the new dead demon souls, "Everyone of you, wait outside the palace until I return. Do not enter until I come back or they'll be consequences. Guards, watch over my Judgment Palace! Don't let our newcomers in." The guards at the entrance said, "Y-yes, Your Divine Majesty!"

Battle: Netherworld Army vs. Spirit World Kingdom Military and Supreme God Yama "Enma"


[Choose random battle music: #1, #2]
Over time demons and devils were rushing towards the palace, bashing their way through the Kingdom's military soldiers, some warriors and evil demons were either killed, knocked out, or tossed into the cloudy abyss, down into the Netherworld. Even Dr. Zulu was fighting against nephalic soldiers by casting his Dioga Robodoruku mecha spell, piloting it and firing powerful energy cannons from his mecha's left arm cannon. More evil demons and devils came rushing out of the Netherworld Gate and joined in the riot while more nephalic soldiers came to stop them. The archdevils joined in the battle for a little with Belphebub's belly growling and reacting, "I'm hungry... I wonder how angel-demons taste. What are they call again? Oh, well! Wind Curse: Inhale [風呪：吸い込む, Fūnoroi: Suikomu]!" Belphebub Belphebub continuously sucked air into his mouth, pulling some nephalic soldiers and accidentally pulling some demons and devils into his mouth. After a few chews, Belphebub spit some nephalems and demons out of his mouth in disgust, reacting in, "Yuck! I hate armor, but other than that, they tasted pretty good but weird." The nephalems and demons covered in Belphebub's saliva fell into the abyss beneath the bridge and ended up back in the Netherworld while some nephalems managed to fly back to the bridge with their tinted angel wings. Dr. Zulu feared that he was going to be pulled by Belphebub's wind, reacting, "Zee! Good thing I was not up there. That guy can eat!" though Dr. Zulu's Dioga Robodoruku was a bit heavy for Belphebub's Inhale to carry at a long distance apart. Dr. Zulu then politely asked his accomplices, "Zecross-sama, Zega-sama, may I borrow one of your powers for a bit?" Zecross replied first, "Go ahead." Dr. Zulu placed Dioga Robodoruku's left arm cannon near Zecross and incanted, "Basukaruku!" turning his Dioga Robodoruku black and giving it darkness-elemental cybernetic powers. Dr. Zulu then yelled out, "Let's see what these powers can do. Darkness Wave [ダークネス・ウェーブ, Dākunesu Wēbu]! Zehe-hahahaaa!" Dr. Zulu shot wavy blast cannons of darkness energy from his Dioga Robodoruku's arm cannon at nephalic soldiers.

As chaos and disorder were unleashed on the bridge, Zega actually felt entertained, "Well, this is currently a pleasant display." In front of him, King Zecross responded, "Glad you haven't changed. It's the fun we dreamed up but the fun has only begun." Zega then closed his eyes without emotion and thought, ... Still, I'm not going to let your selfish ways succeed, but how... Still, I don't have a good opening... Suddenly, a loud voice rang across the bridge, "What's going on here?!" A demon wondered, "What was that?" Another demon recognized that voice, "Wait, isn't that..." The godlike titan in the distance incanted, "Dimensional Æther: Judgment [次元の霊気：裁き, Sabaki]!" Dozens of demons and devils in the front row suddenly disappeared and were sent back to the Netherworld. The riot suddenly paused. Suddenly, a dimensional portal appeared back at the Judgment Palace and another portal appeared at the Bridge where everyone was at. The Supreme God of Spirit World makes his entrance from the portal. King Yama said with a serious look and mean expression, "This is certainly a surprise. Just to think when the Netherworld finally calmed down for hundred-thousands of years, they are up to no good again. To think that Pluto and Cerberus would be defeated, whom I finally trusted. What the heck has been going down there? Lucid, you better have a good explanation why I shouldn't banish you four and everyone else here to the Void." Many demons and devils got scared and some of them said, "The Void?"/"Forget this. I'm out of here!" Some demons and devils retreated back into the Netherworld since they don't want to feel the divine wrath of King Yama. The Void (虚空) is a world of nothingness created by Supreme God Yama. The Void was specifically created to banish rebel gods and that world disables all forms of magic besides æther used by an archnephalem. It may not sound as bad as the Netherworld, but it is a really boring world to live in for eternity and some demons and devils somehow heard about it, which is why they ran away.

Before Lucid answered, Zecross interrupted, "It's been awhile, Yama-sama, or what your employees call you... Enma-sama." King Yama said in a harsh tone, "Oh, it's you. So, you're the one that took over the Netherworld. I would be impressed, but you've broken my laws and brought disorder. And if you think I would give you my powers again, think again. Back to the Netherworld with you... No... Rather, I'll send you to the empty Void as well but not before taking the Netherworld Crown back!" Zecross and Dr. Zulu (in his Dioga Robodoruku mecha) were getting worried with Dr. Zulu in fear while Zega thought to himself emotionlessly, well, still better than being tortured in the Netherworld, but I wonder if this so-called Void is similar to the Twilight Realm. King Yama "Enma", being the God of Death (死神, Shinigami) and Supreme God of Spirit World, specializes in soul-related and dimensional-related æther. Back during Zecross' battle in the Human World, æther King Yama used when he interfered the fight due to the conundrum between Demon World and Spirit World were Soul Æther: Soul Extraction (魂霊気：抽出の魂, Konreiki: Chūshutsu no Tamashī, to remove Zecross' soul out of his body), Dimension Æther: Dimensional Portal (次元霊気：次元門, Jigenreiki: Jigenmon, to create a dimensional portal to transfer Zecross' soul in Spirit World, and King Yama just used it a moment ago to teleport himself to the bridge), and Dimension Æther: Judgment (次元霊気：裁き, Jigenreiki: Sabaki, to teleport Zecross' soul into the Netherworld without judging him normally, and King Yama just used it a moment ago to banish the wicked back to the Netherworld), but not before taking away Zecross' necromancy powers that King Yama given to him a long time ago. It's the reason why Zecross declared revenge on the Supreme God, which is very foolish and his brother Zega knows it.

Back to the battle after King Yama made a harsh statement, he incanted, "Dimension Æther: Dimensional Portal!," opening a giant magical portal to his left side leading to the empty, spatial world known as the Void. While Zega was emotionless and Dr. Zulu was scared, Zecross was a bit worried but the Four Great Demon Lords were confident. In fact, the Four Great Demon Lords planned a step ahead. Suddenly, even though Asmon appears to be among his group, another Asmon mysteriously appeared behind King Yama without him noticing until Asmon knocked him hard into the portal with his giant stone club. The Asmon that was standing next to the other Great Demon Lords suddenly disappeared with Dr. Zulu surprised, "Wait, what?!" Asmon said, "Kyeh-heh-heh! Don't underestimate my illusion curses. Not even Spirit World magic works in the Void as far as I know. Kyehehe!" Besides earth-elemental curses, Asmon also possess illusion curses to confuse his enemies or even make himself completely invisible and undetectable, which is another reason he is called the Thief King (盗賊王, Tōzokuō)—in addition to his sinful trait of greed—and Asmon has used his illusion curses a few times unconsciously while under Zarpi's hypnotic control.

After King Yama was bashed into his own dimensional portal to the Void, the portal suddenly closed and after Asmon proclaimed his victory, Netherworld King Zecross became very upset and yelled angrily, "You fool! I needed his powers!" Asmon replied back, taunting his new King, "Well T-O-O B-A-D! We shouldn't take orders from a mere demon. Kyeh-heh-heh-heh!" King Zecross got even angrier and yelled quietly, "Why you...?!" Lucid said casually, "Actually, almost all types of magic don't work in the Void. Yama-sama will be back." Asmon and King Zecross wondered, "Huh?"/"What?" As another random portal opened to the bridge, which caught everyone's attention, Lucid continued, "Archnephalems can still æther in the Void." Asmon reacted in worrisome, "Crud!" but he still has some tricks up his sleeves. As King Zecross reappeared in Spirit World and more nephalic soldiers flew across the bridge as reinforcements, King Yama yelled angrily, "Why you...?! Asmon?! How dare you attack the Supreme God!" While Yama was scolding Asmon, Lucid quietly said, "If only if this room was dark enough, I could take him out easily." Hearing those words, Dr. Zulu got an idea a second later, "Hmm!," and with his dark-elemental Dioga Robodoruku mecha still active, Dr. Zulu shouted, "Dark Fog [ダーク・フォグ, Dāku Fogu]!," releasing black gas from his Dioga Robodoruku's arm cannon all around the area. While King Yama was fighting Asmon, he turned around and reacted, "Now what?"

Lucid smirked in interest and said, "Heh! This will work. Belphebub..." After King Yama outwitted Asmon's illusions and knocked Asmon on the ground, he turned around, and suddenly, a gust of wind was blown across the bridge with the whole bridge being covered by a cloud of darkness. Belphebub used his wind curse to blow Dr. Zulu's Dark Fog across the bridge. A half-second later, while King Yama covered his eyes with his arms, Lucid incanted quietly, "Darkness Curse: Nightmare Deathblow [闇呪：悪夢必殺技, Yaminoroi: Akumu Hissawwaza]..." In an instant, Lucid quickly slashed King Yama with his nightmare sword inside the Dark Fog, instantly killing King Yama, which is pretty ironic considering King Yama is the God of Death. He also instantly killed other nephalems that were in his way. In actuality, Lucid's power and speed increased by tenfold inside the darkness, which makes assassinations much easier. King Yama reacted in pain, "Gyaaah! H-how?!," before turning into spiritual particles. As the Dark Fog was disappearing, Lucid de-summoned his nightmare sword and said with his eyes closed, "I am the Angel of Darkness after all."

Leviasatan was surprised, "Wow! That... was easier than expected..." Some nephalic guards near the Judgment Palace were shocked and felt despair, "E-Enma-sama..."/"I-is this a dream?!" Asmon got back up and said, "Kyeh-heh! We did it!" Zecross was happy his plan actually succeeded this far. As King Yama's white and gold Spirit God Crown with a cyan-colored gem dropped down. Zecross flew towards the giant crown that's at least five times the size of his body and touched it, which shrunk to the size of his head. Zecross said victoriously, "The Spirit God Crown... is also mine! Myahahaha! Now for the finishing touch! His soul!" While holding the shrunken Spirit World crown in his left arm and still equipped with the Netherworld on top on his head, Zecross placed his right hand toward's King Yama's spiritual particles and absorbing them piece-by-piece into his body. Demons and devils that are back at the Netherworld Gate were surprised and they shouted victoriously. During the time Zecross was occupied, Zega, still having that limiter removal wristband equipped to his right hand, thought to himself, this is my chance. Goodbye, broth... Zega was about to betray his younger brother but just sensed a huge growth in power that's surging into his brother, reacting, w-what? What is this power I'm sensing?! It's so overwhelming! Zega thought he could betray Zecross at this point, but the power was too much for him. Normally, Zega and Zecross cannot sense the true power of Spirit World deities. Spirit World Gods' spirit energy are normally felt very suppressed when demons try sensing their energy and presence as if their spiritual energy is almost non-existent. However, if sensory-type demons were somehow able to sense the true spiritual energy of Spirit World Gods, the demons' mind and spirit would be crushed instantly, potentially killing them.

[Insert dramatic music]
Zecross felt a lot of power streaming through his body as he was absorbing the neutral Supreme God's soul. Though, while it felt very intense, Zecross also felt the excitement, passion, power, and even felt godlike wielding this power. He laughed maniacally as his body was transforming, "Mwahahaha! Hahaha! HAHAHAHA! Yes! This power! Unlimited... POWER!!! The power of a Spirit World God!" Zecross' body was growing in size. His limiter removal wristband snapped as his arms grew. His black robe was growing in size too. As Zecross' body was enlarging, his skin was slightly getting dark and his body became more demonic that he grew a spear-like tail and that his demonic horns spiraled downwards by a few revolutions. Through Zecross' twisted and evil persona, Zecross was metamorphosing and transcending into an archdevil rather than an archnephalem. The size of his body became the same size as Lucid size. Everyone on the bridge with the exception of the Four Great Demon Lords was shocked and speechless, even Zega himself. The nephalems near the Judgment Palace felt hopeless. After the transformation was complete, Zecross stopped laughing but was still smirking evilly. He can't believe his plan succeeded. "I'm... I'm finally... A God! An archdevil nonetheless. Spirit World is finally under my control! Under our control! Myahahaha! This is the greatest milestone anyone could achieve and I'm the first! Myahahaha-hahahaha-HAHAHAHA! I'm the new Supreme God of Spirit World." This is the most joy Zecross has ever felt in his life. One of the nephalic guards said in fear, "W-we're... we're doom!" Another nephalic guard said in grief and despair, "I-I can't believe Enma-sama's... gone... What's... going to happen to us... now?" Zega thought to himself in fear and disappointment, darn, I lost my one and only chance. I can no longer feel that power... Was the power of a Spirit World god really that strong?
[/End of random dramatic music]

Lucid said, "Well, how are you feeling now, My Divine Lord?" The new Supreme God Zecross said, "This power... I never felt anything like it. Amazing! But, I decided a new name. You can call me... Neo Zecross-sama... But first... This traitor..." Neo Zecross gave a serious glare at Asmon for the things he said earlier. Asmon reacted in fear, bowing down rapidly, "Kyeh?! I'm sorry! Forgive me! Forgive me, Your Divine Majesty... Neo Zecross-sama... Give me a second chance to redeem myself! Please?" Neo Zecross aimed his hand at the bowed Asmon and said, "Besides being the Thief King, you are also known as the 'God of Deception' [欺瞞の神, Giman no Kami], so why would you think I would believe you?" Lucid asked Neo Zecross while re-summoning his Nightmare Sword, "Want me to execute him?" As Asmon was cowering in fear, praying, "Please don't kill me!," Neo Zecross decided, "However, I'm a generous man, so I'll forgive you and give you a second chance. Lucid, no need for executions yet..." Lucid de-summons his Nightmare Sword again and Neo Zecross continued, "Anyways, Asmon isn't the only one. I'm sure there are other... traitors... among this group..." Zecross suspects his older brother Zega (as well as Dr. Zulu) as Zega could tell Zecross was talking about him, so he knows?, but Zecross continued, "Besides, I need all the help I can get if we want to take over and change the rest of Spirit World, as well as Demon World too." Even though Zecross became more twisted, he still shows some mercy. If only if he could spare Demon World, though. Asmon asked, "So, umm... Your Divine Majesty... umm... Neo Zecross-sama? What about the nephalems and the demons living in the Kingdom? What are we going to do about them?" Neo Zecross said, "Well, as long as they don't rebel, we won't do anything to them." Lucid said, "Although, there is one big problem and that would be the archangels that lay above. The realm of Paradise, where I and Pluto were born." Neo Zecross said, "We must make haste. They'll eventually ruin our fun in Demon World. I should be able to use Yama's spacial and necromancy powers now that I have his soul. Serves him right for interfering my fun. Dimension Æther: Dimensional Portal!" Neo Zecross opens up a gigantic, divine portal to Demon World but before they leave, Neo Zecross said to all the devils and sinful demons at the Netherworld Gate, "All devils and wicked demons. I promise I'll resurrect each one of you for your help. You all have done a wonderful job. For now, have fun causing chaos in Spirit World Kingdom. Kill anyone that rebels our new kingdom. Make yourselves stronger and we'll make Demon World and Spirit World a better place; a place where all of us can roam free and have fun." The wicked demons and devils cheered and begun causing a riot in Spirit World Kingdom as Neo Zecross and his crew including Dr. Zulu and Zega jumps into the dimensional portal.

Scene: Somewhere in a wasteland of Demon World (evening)


A giant, mystical portal appeared in the clouds of Demon World above a barren land of nothing but dirt. The new Supreme God and his crew, including the Four Great Demon Lords, appeared out of the dimensional portal, descending towards the ground. Neo Zecross and the Four Great Demon Lords appear physically solid upon entering the living world but Zega and Dr. Zulu appeared ghostly upon entering Demon World, since they are still dead. Zecross was automatically resurrected when he extracted former Supreme God Yama's soul. Dr. Zulu reacted in confusion and in a panic as he was falling, "Huh? Zeeeehehe!! Why are we so high up?! I'm falling... Wait, I'm... I'm only flying!" Dr. Zulu realized he could fly into the air now that he's just a dead spirit wandering in Demon World and screamed, "Wooooo-hoo-hoo-hoo! Dis is awesome! Zehehehe!" Zega, as a spirit, did not look amused at Dr. Zulu's fun time while he was flying downward but asked his brother, "Don't you think you should give us our physical bodies, restore us back to life?" His godly brother replied, "Why not? Soul Æther: Resurrection [魂霊気：復活, Konreiki: Fukkatsu]..." Zega and Dr. Zulu got their bodies back but now that they are fully alive again, Dr. Zulu realized he can no longer fly reacting in shock, "Heh?! Zaaaahaha! What happened to our ethereal body? Are we alive again?! Zahaha! I don't want to die again!" They are falling over a thousand feet high so that could break Dr. Zulu's and Zega's bones if they landed flat on the ground but Zega flew with his angel and demon wings and caught Dr. Zulu, saying, "Next time, don't be careless." Dr. Zulu thanked him for the save, "T-thank you, Zulu-sama..." Neo Zecross then said, "Coming out of the sky, I'm pretty sure at least a hundred demons saw us. Asmon, use your illusions to make us invisible for now." Asmon said, "Kyeh! As you wish. Illusion Curse: Lurking with the Thief [幻呪：盗賊と一緒に潜んでいます, Gennoroi: Tōzoku to Issho ni Hisonde Imasu]!" Asmon made the group invisible and undetectable from other people, similar to the cloaking device Dr. Zulu made in the Netherworld. Some demons around Demon World did notice them beforehand but were confused as if it may have been their imagination.

After the group including the Four Great Demon Lords landed on a deserted landed, looking around, Lucid said, "So, this is... Demon World?" Asmon wondered, "Where are the hot chicks?" Belphebub complained and cried, "And I'm hungry!" Leviasatan yelled at him, "Will you shut up already, Belphe-DUMB?!" Belphebub felt hurt, "Hey, that's mean!" Lucid wondered, "Well, now what?" Neo Zecross said, "Well, a god would need a castle or fortress to rule when we take over Demon World. Dr. Zulu, can you build us a giant fortress?" Dr. Zulu replied, "F-fortress? Zah...?! If my Zulu Construction Bots are still around. I-I'll check. One of my secret laboratories is actually somewhere around here, seeing how familiar this place is." Zega wondered, "How many of these 'secret' laboratories do you own?" Despite being part of the Demon Revolution Army for about 20 years, there are some things that Dr. Zulu never told his superiors, mainly because he wanted to rule the world on his own. Dr. Zulu apologized and said, "Oops! Sorry, my master. I was wanting to build a huge army for us as a surprise..." At the same time, Dr. Zulu thought to himself in secret, his true motives, ... for the revolution army's demise and for the reign of my empire!, then continued, "Well, that failed, though. But luckily, I have some unfinished projects I wanted to finish and how lucky am I to be dropped here, though hopefully, no one else found them. Zehehe! Be right back!" Neo Zecross stated, "If it can contribute my reign, go ahead. But don't get caught." Zega wondered, I wonder if Zulu has anything to stop my brother's stupid, selfish vengeance, though I doubt he has anything to stop the power of a god. He then looked at the light in the purple sky that's going to fade away and thought to himself, few hours or so until I can gain access to the Twilight World... Even after coming back to life and returning Demon World, Zega still doesn't want to take revenge even though he has a chance and still insists on stopping his brother's vengeance. Zega has always considered himself "evil", more specifically "lawfully evil". While he had evil intentions in the past, he was always honest and generous with his enemies. Zecross was the same way—but darker and not as forgiving—until his death, where he became more twisted.

Neo Zecross said, "Well, once I have a new place, we'll create an army of the dead and devils. Lucid, you'll lead our army when the time comes." Lucid said, "My pleasure. This should be interesting." Belphebub wondered, "What about us?" Neo Zecross said, "Don't worry. I'll grant your wishes, but for now, have patience." Asmon asked, "So, what do you think Leviasatan?" Leviasatan said quietly, "I'll show them... I'll show them all..." Asmon wondered, "Kyeh?!" Leviasatan made a delayed reply, "... Nothing...," while looking away from everyone else. Something must have been on Leviasatan's mind. For some reason, the colossal dragon king's mood appeared slightly different ever since Zecross became the Netherworld King.

Scene: Royal Bell Family Palace (evening)


Meanwhile, back at the Royal Palace, it appears that dinner is almost ready. While maids and butlers were setting up a feast in the Great Hall, Princess Koruru Bell walked into the training area outside the palace and called everyone, "Everyone, supper's ready!" After the sparring session, as Demon Prince Raiden Bell, Knight Apprentice Nekolas, Nurse Apprentice Haria, Ninja Vice Captain Pancho, Ninja Captain Kyanchome, Demon King Rain Bell, and Tioga were talking back inside, Nekolas yelled in frustration, "Darn it! I still can't beat you Raiden-ōji. Well, I shouldn't complain as I at least beaten Pancho once. Haha!" Pancho said, "Oh please, I given that match to you. I told you I was warned out." Nekolas said sarcastically, "Yeah, whatever..." He then smiled victoriously. The teen demons had at least four battles but they took breaks in-between each battle when Princess Koruru brought snacks. Tioga and King Rain mostly played with toys and dolls while watching the teens fight in Captain Kyanchome's illusion.

While the group was walking into the Great Hall from the Throne Room, two strangely familiar but odd-looking knights were talking to the Military Commander Zeon Bell in the middle of the Throne Room. Raiden asked enthusiastically, "Yo, uncle?!" Commander Zeon Bell turned his head and wondered, "Raiden? Rain-sama?" Nekolas looked at the strange-looking knights, telling the group, "Oh, those must be the new knight recruits." The others wondered, "Huh?" But as soon as they carefully looked at the new Knight Infantries, they recognized to be the former revolution army Death Generals #3 Zeil and #4 Zophise, reacting in surprise, "What?!"/"Huh?!" Raiden asked loudly, "W-what are they doing here?!" Zeil and Zophise looked confused. They still had their memories erased but that did not stop Prince Raiden's anger from rising. Zeil was wearing a sapphire body armor, armguards, and boots with gold trims and he's still wearing his sword-themed purple wizard hat and purple tights. Zophise was wearing a platinum armor with amethyst trims with a dueling épée-like sword sheathed to his waste. Commander Zeon thought to himself in a hurry, crud, this is not good. We can't have a conflict, and quickly warped to Raiden, quietly telling him and the group, "Relax, don't cause a problem." Raiden wondered loudly, "What do you mean? Why're they still—" Commander Zeon interrupted and shouted quietly, "Will you shut up? Their memories are still erased but even so, don't say anything that they might remember." Raiden said, "But they killed mom and—," Commander Zeon said very quietly, "I know. Their crimes are unforgivable, which is why I brought them into my military, for community services as their punishment but they don't know that." Nekolas wondered, "Wait, what's going on?" He was clueless as he doesn't know anything about these two since he didn't participate in the Revolution War. Raiden said quietly, "They should be executed for killing mom and dad." Commander Zeon continued quietly, "I know how you feel but we're gonna have to deal with it. I'm not going to do something that would feel unfair to them since they don't have their memories." Zeil and Zophise wondered what the commander is talking about. Pancho wondered quietly, "Wait, doesn't Zeil have mind reading abilities?" Commander Zeon said, "For now, he's forgotten them, which is a good thing. Anyways, just treat them as any civilian or... knight. I don't want you guys screwing this up."

Knight Infantry Zeil asked, "Umm... Commander, sir? What's going on and who are these?" Zophise said in a bad mood, "This is getting ridiculous. Why are we the have to do chores?" Commander Zeon turned around and said while introducing his older nephew, "Oh, excuse my older nephew. He may be a sass but he's my nephew and a royal prince. He mistook you two for someone else so don't mind him." Raiden got irritated and yelled, "What'd you call me?" Commander Zeon hammered his head casually with his fist. Prince Raiden reacted in irritation, "Oww! What was that for?!" Commander Zeon said, "Behave yourself." He then introduced his younger nephew, "And my other nephew here in the current King of Demon World. He may not look it but don't judge him. Give him the absolute respect he deserves." King Rain felt a bit flattered. Zeil wondered, "That little boy's the King?" Zophise said in a mean tone, "What a joke!" Commander Zeon yelled, "Oi! What did I say?" Princess Koruru turned around, walking back and said to the group, "What are you all doing? Dinner's ready." She then said to the two new Knight Infantries, "Do you two want anything?" Before Zeil and Zophise could answer, "Uhh...," Commander Zeon ordered them, "They'll eat when they are on break. You two, back to work. The northern district still needs cleaning." Zeil complained, "Oh come on, we just got back." Zophise complained, "This is so stupid... Come on, Zeil!" Zeil asked his friend while they were walking away, "When are we gonna' get paid, dude?" They both left the palace to do more community service while Raiden Bell and his friends chowed down for dinner.

Scene: Back at that Wasteland with a Giant Fortress Under Construction (late evening)


At least an hour has passed. Using Zulu Construction Bots that are still active, Dr. Zulu has been constructing a huge black fortress for Supreme God Neo Zecross within the hour. At least fifty percent of the fortress was built by now with over hundreds of Zulu Construction Bots. Despite its size, no outsiders could see the fortress as long as Asmon has his Lurking with the Thief illusion curse active. Dr. Zulu looked up to Neo Zecross from a balcony of the unfinished fortress and said, "My master, we are at least fifty-two percent complete with your new place." Neo Zecross looked down and said, "You are surprisingly fast, Dr. Zulu." Belphebub's stomach kept rumbling and he cried, "I'm hungry... When can we eat?" Asmon said, "You just ate not too long ago when passersby stopped by." Some random demons and demonic creatures have passed by and accidentally came into contact with the Netherworld Gods while the fortress was under construction, but only a few. Neo Zecross said, "We might as well start our fun. Alright, everyone, it's showtime. Soul Æther: Resurrection! Dimension Æther: Dimensional Portal!" Neo Zecross resurrected every dead demon criminals as well as creating a dimensional portal above him for devils to travel from the Spirit World. Evil demons and devils have been causing a lot of havoc in Spirit World and while some demons were imprisoned in the Kingdom's Spirit Prison, Neo Zecross resurrected each one of them and teleported them to Demon World at a distance away from the royal fortress. Over ten thousands of sinful demons were confused but happy that they came back to alive. Even the revolution army's former Death Generals were resurrected and they're resurrection were prioritized first with Zarpi (he has promised to resurrect her first), then Zeferno, and Zedusa. And to avoid suspicion by the Demon World's government, Asmon also masked the resurrected demons' and devils' presence with his illusion curse.

[Choose random evil army music: #1, #2]
While a lot of loud confusion and disorder was going around with the resurrected demons, Neo Zecross said, "It's been a while, everyone." Everyone focused their attention on the archdevils upon hearing Neo Zecross' loud voice. Many demons were scared seeing the Four Great Demon Lords near them and an archdevil they are unfamiliar with, but a few familiar demons wondered. "W-what's going on? I-I'm back. Wait, is that... No way..." Zedusa reacted. Zarpi reacted in surprise, "Holy crud, i-is that... Zecross-sama?! I... We did it..." Zeferno was surprised but speechless. Neo Zecross said, "I have promised each one of you that you'll be revived. Welcome back to Demon World everyone." A lot of evil demons were happy to be back to life. Zecross continued, "I am your new King and Supreme God. You can refer to me as Neo Zecross-sama, Your Divine Majesty, or whatever. We have all suffered in the Netherworld. However, we're going to change, not only the Netherworld but the rest of Spirit World and Demon World. It won't be long until the archangels of Paradise come to ruin our fun, so let's have as much as fun as we can here in Demon World." The entire crowd shouted, "Yeeeaahhhh!!!!" Neo Zecross continued, "Let's show Demon World our power, bring chaos into Demon World." Most of the entire crowd continued shouting, "Yeeeaahhhh!!!!," while others were worried. Neo Zecross then said, "However, you'll be under the order of my partner Lucid. Show him respect and do what he says. I don't want any betrayals. I want everyone having fun causing chaos, destruction, and disorder in Demon World." The wicked crowd continued shouted louder, "Yeeeeaaaahhhhh!!!!!," but some demons wouldn't want to do this thing. Neo Zecross said, "Lucid, there yours. Have fun." Lucid said, "My pleasure." Belphebub complained while sitting on the ground, "Can I eat now, can I?!" Neo Zecross said, "The rest of you Demon Lords can have fun. Go wild, have an adventure. There's plenty of fresh demons and treasures in towns and cities. Asmon, you may put down your curse. There's no need to keep us hidden any longer." Belphebub stood up and walked away with his beelzeflies while laughing, "Bahahaha-hahaha..." Asmon said, "Time to find some hot babes and shinies. Kyeh-heh! Illusion Curse: Cloak of the Thief [幻呪：盗賊の外套, Gennoroi: Tōzoku no Gaitō]!" Asmon turned himself invisible and walked away. Asmon has used this curse several times secretly while under Zarpi's control and one time against ex-King Yama. While Asmon and Belphebub were heading towards towns, Leviasatan said, "And I'll show who's boss. I'll claim my territory and rule the sea." Leviasatan then walked away on all-four and headed towards a beach.

During the time Neo Zecross gave out his speech and before the Four Great Demon Lords left, Zega, who was on a balcony of Neo Zecross' incomplete fortress, looking expressionless, walked inside the fortress. Zega no longer cared about the pandemonium of Demon World but has one new goal. While passing by Zulu Bots, who are working on the fortress, Zega walked deep into the fortress. He found the giant-sized Spirit God Crown on a large pedestal, protected by an impenetrable magical force field. During the time Dr. Zulu and his robots were working on the fortress, Neo Zecross used some of the magical power of the Spirit God Crown to magically create materials to create his fortress. He then ordered Dr. Zulu to guard his crown and to prevent anyone from touching and if Dr. Zulu were to disobey this order, Neo Zecross threatened to kill his Royal Scientist without mercy.

[Insert random theme song]
Zega climbed down some small stairs into an underground laboratory where Dr. Zulu was making new inventions. Dr. Zulu had some kind of telepathic communication device. Without looking behind him, Dr. Zulu knew Zega was behind him, reading his mind, and said, "Zehe! So you too are planning to revolt our God." Zega wondered, "How did you—" Dr. Zulu already knew what Zega was going to say and responded, "This machine I have here, the holopathy, can speak to others telepathically as well as creating holographic thoughts. I'm surprised that you're not enjoying the chaotic moment everyone's having above. That's quite odd of you." Zega said, "I already accepted my defeated. I have no desire for revenge. Now, will you be so kindly to release the Spirit God Crown from its prison?" Dr. Zulu chuckled, "Zehe... I wish, but your godlike brother will kill me if I let anything happen to it. He'll kill both of us. But I have different motives than you. I wish to restore my empire." Zega turned around and said, "I don't care what you do, I'm only concern about my brother? Have anything to end this?" Dr. Zulu said, "It'll take me months to come up with something to stop Spirit World deities, but I won't give up. But don't tell him anything I told you, or he'll kill both of us." He turned around and gave a small holo-telepathic device to Zega, saying, "Here. You can use this to warn our nemeses and slash or call them to their doom. Zehe. Now, will you leave me to my... 'projects'?" A few seconds after inspecting Dr. Zulu's holopathy and climbing up the stairs. He stopped midway and planned on making a mental call to certain individuals he knows, thinking I might be luring them to a death sentence but if they can stop me, I'm sure they'll find some way... Either way, I'm sure they'll do something, whether its heroism or idiocy...

Scene: Royal Bell Family Palace (late evening)


Back at the Royal Palace after everyone had a feast, Commander Zeon said to his wife, "Be right back, I'm going to check on my new recruits." Princess Koruru replied, "Careful dear!" After the children walked out the Great Hall back into the Throne Room, Prince Raiden said "Ahh, that was a good meal. Well, wanna spar again?" Nekolas sighed and said, "Gyeh, not tonight. My dad is not going to like me staying late." Raiden said in disappointment, "Oh, okay... Pancho, Haria, how about another round?" Vice Captain Pancho said, "Give me a break. I've been training all day." Haria said with an exhausted expression, "I can't keep up with you guys." Raiden was the only one who still had a fighting spirit after all of these hours of fighting and said in disappointment, "Oh come on!" King Rain said, "Everyone needs a break, big brother." Haria wondered, "I wonder how my folks are doing." Nekolas said with a smile, "Want me to walk you home?" Haria replied, "I-I'm good. But wouldn't you dad—" Nekolas said optimistically, "It's okay, it's not that late. Well, see you later g—Wha?!" Suddenly, a blue holographic image of Zega's body appeared in the Throne Room. Everyone stopped moving and were surprised. Zega checked to see if the holopathy was working, "Testing, is this thing working? Alright..." Raiden and Pancho wondered, "Zega?!" Raiden wondered, "B-But how?! What's going on?" Pancho said, "I-is this a ghost?" Pancho then carefully swiped his hand across the hologram, which just distorted the hologram a bit. Nekolas and Haria were confused with Nekolas wondering, "Who's that?"

Zega continued speaking with his hologram by thinking out the words, "I'm assuming I'm speaking in the right place? This is the royal palace, right? Don't know if anyone's listening but I'll lay this message. First of all, yes, I'm alive. My brother came up a plan to resurrect us from the dead and is planning vengeance on the world..." Commander Zeon returned to the palace with Knights Zeil and Zophise and said with a surprising reaction, "I'm back everyone, what is... What's going on here? Is that..." Everyone else was silent. Princess Koruru, Ninja Captain Kyanchome, and Head Nurse Tio just came into the Throne Room, nearly speechless but with Captain Kyanchome wondering, "What's going on?" Zega continued speaking telepathically with his hologram, "I, on the other hand, have no desire for revenge. I already accepted my defeat and that was a wonderful battle that we had. Listen, you shouldn't underestimate my brother. During our escape from the Spirit World, the realm of the dead, my brother has acquired godlike powers. Not only he killed the King of the Netherworld, the infernal realm of Spirit World, but he has unimaginably taken the soul of the Supreme God of Spirit World, King Yama, as revenge for taking his soul during his battle. My brother transformed and transcended into an archdevil, a God of Evil, and he, along with the Four Great Demon Lords of the Netherworld, the other archdevils, has escaped Spirit World and is here in Demon World as we speak. Not only that but he resurrected an army of wicked dead demons from the Netherworld as well as devils of the Netherworld to create pandemonium in Demon World. Normally, I would be thrilled to see this, heh, but... My brother's selfish plan must be stopped and I lost my opportunity to stop him in the Spirit World. However, destroying an archdevil will not be easy as demon magic won't work against them. Well, hope you got this message, whoever may be in here. I might be luring you to a death sentence, heh, but do whatever you want. I've given you the warning. We are located at least 10 kilometers to the northeast of the Royal Palace. His Royal Scientist, Dr. Zulu as you may know, has constructed a giant fortress so you can't miss it. Now, how to turn this thing off...? Darn, that Zulu didn't give me instruct—" Zega just now found out how to end holo-telepathic communication and his hologram disappeared from the palace.

[Insert random heroic music]
Even though the group got the message, they were confused and Raiden wondered, "What the heck is going on?" Pancho wondered, "What was all of that about? Even the mad scientist returned?!" King Rain wondered and asked his uncle, "Uncle, they came back. What do you think?" Commander Zeon was thinking about it, about that Supreme God mention or whatever... well, that sort of explains what happened to Zecross. But now for him to return... with godlike powers? The Spirit World... Netherworld... maybe all that mythological stuff is real. Archdevils are said to be Gods of Evil with incredible power... Zeil and Zophise were confused since they had their memories erased and Zeil asked while pointing forward brainlessly, "Who was that guy?" Knight Zophise asked, "Well, Commander? More chores, I'm guessing? Or what?" Zeil wondered, "Are we going into a battle? That would be interesting." Commander Zeon said, "This is bad... This is really bad. Captain Kyanchome, you and your son get the rest of the Ninja Division." Vice Captain Pancho wondered, "N-Now?!" Commander Zeon ordered harshly, "NOW! Hurry!" He then ordered the two Knight Infantries, "You two, get prepared. We're in for a battle. Assemble the other Knight Division." Knights Zeil and Zophise responded, "Yes, sir!" Captain Kyanchome said to Pancho, "Let's hurry, son." Prince Raiden was excited, "Alright, another battle!" Nekolas said with his fighting spirit rebuilt, "I don't want to miss this one out." Commander Zeon ordered, "You all stay here!" Prince Raiden wondered, "Why not?!" Commander Zeon said, "Just do what I say. Unless if you read mythology, you don't know what we're are in for if this is true. And I don't want to be held respons—" King Rain interrupted and said, "Uncle... Please..." Commander Zeon and Princess Koruru wondered, "Rain-sama/chan...?" King Rain continued, "I'm sorry for being selfish and I hate fighting but... I want to protect Demon World too..."

Suddenly the great palace door was opened abruptly with Knight Captain Black Knight and Knight Vice Captain Earth barging in with urgent news with Vice Captain Earth reporting, "Commander! My King! Demon World is under attack by four or five giant figures and wild demons are attacking the cities." Knight Captain Black Knight, "We know we shouldn't be here but we need to let you know our comrades are fighting for their lives. However, we're getting pushed back and are losing warriors one-by-one while the enemy keeps growing... They keep appearing out of nowhere." Vice Captain Earth asked, "Your Highness, what should we do? What's going on?" Commander Zeon said, "Tio, get Danny and the other medics. We may need everyone's help." Head Nurse Tio replied, "I'm on it," and began looking for them. Prince Raiden wondered, "So, does that mean we can join?" King Rain said, "Please, Uncle? As Demon King, I want to save this world too." Commander Zeon replied softly, "We got no time to argue. Alright, but take extra caution. I really don't want to be held responsible for your deaths." Raiden and Nekolas said, "Alright!" Haria wondered, "So... am I joining too?" Tioga looked sad having to go through another battle but King Rain was also depressed having to go through another battle, but he'll do what he can to keep world peace.

Scene: Neo Zecross' Incomplete Fortress (late evening)


While there is a wild war going on outside the fortress, Zega hid the holopathy within his Netherworld black robe and walked out of Dr. Zulu's underground lab. As he was spotted by his godly brother, Neo Zecross said, "There you are. Where have you been?" Zega responded, "Checking on Dr. Zulu, making sure he isn't doing anything unusual." Neo Zecross could tell his older twin brother was hiding other thoughts but disregarded them and said, "Well, you are missing out all the fun out there. Are you going to do something or are you..." Zega said, "I'll make use of myself." As Zega walked passed his godly brother casually, Neo Zecross said, "You better. I'm not giving you any more chances after this." Zega wondered, does he know?, but he did not want to stick around to face his brother's wrath if he stays. Neo Zecross does suspect both Zega and Dr. Zulu that one or the other will betray him but he's not taking action yet.

An apocalyptic war has begun. Armageddon is spreading across Demon World. While archdevils and the army of devils and evil demons were creating chaos, destroying towns and killing townfolks, making bloodshed all over Demon World while Demon World Military are fighting back, Neo Zecross sits on his demonic-looking throne that Dr. Zulu's robots made for him, watching the chaos spread. Will this be the end of Demon World? Will Demon World enter a world of eternal suffer? Is there a way to stop this madness? Over billions of years of secrecy, the mythical Spirit World has been finally exposed to Demon World directly. How will the Gods of Righteousness from above respond to this inconvenient war?

List of characters in this chapter
Ordered from first to last. If a character was mentioned before being seen, I will place that character where he/she was first seen instead of the first time that character was mentioned. I will also list their roles, whether they were a protagonist, supporter, or antagonist of the chapter (or for the entire fan fiction) unless if they were only mentioned (and italicize them). Characters with "†" symbol next to them are deceased/dead or destroyed (multiple "†" indicates that the character died more than one time). I will also make two lists, a list of characters in the present time and a list of character in the past time.

Character roles:
  • Protagonist: Heroes that will commonly appear in each chapter.
  • Protagonist/Supporter: Heroes that won't get much attention but will still appear or at least be mentioned in each chapter somehow.
  • Supporter: Hero/neutral characters that will only appear in a chapter or two.
  • Antagonist: Evil characters. The entire Demon Revolution Army are the antagonists of my fan fiction.
  • Antihero: Former evil or neutral that acts like a heroic or supporting character, but may not want to be the hero.
  • Mentioned only: Background characters that are only mentioned that don't have any role in my fan fiction.
