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 17–22) 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 Warcraft, StarCraft, Harry Potter, and Star Wars.

Chapter 34 (The Fallen King Chapter 12): Wrath of the Nether


Recap


[Insert random recap music]
During the final battle between the Demon Resistance Army and Acolytes of the Nether, an undead Behemoth was risen from the dead and caused chaos in Demon World's capital and in D.D. Sanctuary. Due to the attack on the sanctuary, Lieutenant General D.D. Veni had no choice but transport all survivors to the new planet, called Planet Zenma, but the Resistance Army continues to fight to bring back Demon World (Planet Terra). The two undead necrolytes were defeated: Zon'mortuis was cryogenized by General Karoa, Paladin of the Sea, while D.D. Veni banished Stalghor's bones to another dimension. It was revealed that the traitor who killed Lieutenant General T.F. Golbar, Time Force Golbar, was none other than Lieutenant General Cosmic Space Galactica. However, it turned out that Galactica was under possession by a dark spirit before she first arrived on Planet Terra of the magical universe. D.D. Veni has always risen suspicion towards Galactica and it was also revealed that D.D. Veni is actually a nephalem from the Spirit World Kingdom named Venierro, General of the Nephalem Military Police Army (led by the warden and military chief Neptune, the God of the Sea). Venierro was tasked by the Supreme God of Spirit World, King Yama the Enma, to look for suspicious creatures as these dark spirits from the void planned on bringing their master, Guthorax, King of the Void and God of the Nether, back into reality and their plan succeeded. The dark archnephalem stands above Planet Terra along with his army of nether spirits, dark nephalems, and dark devils. What does this mean for Demon World, Spirit World, or perhaps the entire magical universe?

Scene: Haunted forest in the west of the Capital of Demon World (noon)


[Insert random battle music]
A shadow titan appearing in the middle of Demon World has shocked every living soldier fighting in the capital. In the nearly destroyed forest where Major General-Royal Knight Rosella the Rose Witch and Necrolyte Araesa Blackforest the Black Forest Witch were fighting, Major General Rosella turns her head around with curiosity in her eyes as she saw the dark archnephalem, "W-what—Who is that?" Araesa, on a dead tree, responded in her creepy voice, "Fufufu! The Master has arrived," then said in a wimpy-but-creepy tone, "Too bad Behemoth didn't do as much work as I hoped and it took me thirty minutes to summon that godlike beast. Oh, well. I wonder what the Master is planning. But you know, Rose Witch," her tone started to sound sinister again, "You shouldn't let your guard down." Dead vines were preparing to attack Major General Rosella as Rosella dodges them in time and retaliates. Her soldier's and Barburos's soldiers were doing a good job eliminating animated dead trees in the forest but Araesa can spawn new times whenever she has the time and space too, to keep those soldiers off of her.

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


As dark devils were roaming and flying around randomly, attacking random demons while laughing evilly, the dark archnephalem Guthorax looks at his shaded hands while moving them around, "Hmm... Even after exiting the void filled with nether, I am still this... dark archnephalem, a mere angel-demon deity without æther." A lot of dark nephalems are guarding him and one of them said, "So, this is the living world..." Those shaded nephalems were surprised while the roaming dark devils had no care in the world. Void King Guthorax decided to test his powers, "But now, I can test my new powers properly. Void Nether: Exclusion [空冥気：除外, Kūmeiki: Jogai]..." Guthorax aimed his hand at some rubble and banished them into the void and said, "I see, so while other forms of Nether can work in the void, Void Nether and all other types of magic only operates outside the void. Ironic, is it not? Though, it does make sense. Anything can enter the void but nothing can escape, not even with Dimension Æther, the opposite of Void Nether. But now, we're free. We exist once more." He then found the Dimensional Eye of the Dreadlord floating around some of his nether spirits and used telekinetic powers to bring it to his non-corporeal left hand and said, "The dreadlord's eye, which created a miracle. I was right in trusting these necromancers of Terra. Not even Dimension Æther could operate in the void, yet this demonic eye could; fascinating. It appears to be made from something... divine... In another time, my plans would have failed and I would have been trapped among the nether for a much longer period of time." For some reason, he seems to know what happened in Timeline A (Universe 001). Perhaps all timelines and alternate universes share the same void or perhaps Guthorax used to be a...

Dark Lord Gul'ren teleported and floated in the air with his magic and said, "My Master..." Several dark nephalems soldiers in the air aimed their shadow weapons in defense, "Halt!" Lord Gul'ren tightens his eyebrows and a dark devil said, "Heh, we should kill them all." Guthorax said to his warriors, "Stand down," and they put their incorporeal weapons away.

Dark nephalems are angel-demon hybrids made of nether energy that lost their æther energy due to the effects of the "empty space". Likewise, dark devils are devils made of nether energy. The dark nephalems that came out of the void used to be nephalems that committed serious crimes but have not turned into devils from their crimes, but they have been banished into the void for resisting banishment to the Netherworld. Dark devils used to be devils of the Netherworld, or nephalems or angels that turned devil from having an evil soul. They were either banished from the Netherworld from breaking the Devil's Code three times or banished into the void after being metamorphosed into devils from their corrupted hearts and resisted from being banished into the Netherworld. These two dark races usually don't get along together but they serve under the King of the Void, Guthorax. In roleplaying terms for their morality, most dark nephalems would stereotypically be considered "chaotic neutral" while dark devils would stereotypically be considered "chaotic evil".

Void King Guthorax said to Lord Gul'ren while revealing many demon souls in the palm of his right shaded hand including Gul'ren's family members, "Well done, necromancer. As proof of my word, I shall restore the souls of your lost kindred. One problem though: If I were to open Spirit World for them, surely I'll be hunted. However, it's time that I shall pay them back." Guthorax suppressed the powers of the Eye of the Dreadlord and released all of the souls into the air, which faded into the Spirit World. Lord Gul'ren thanked him, "Thank you, My Master," and thought to himself, rest in peace, brother Zal'gor. I'll continue where you left off... on my own terms.

Warchief Dan'ro Deathscream, while his golems and earth elementals were battling General Moko of Land, teleported towards Lord Guthorax too and asked, "And what about my wish? Ultimate power and strength?" Lord Gul'ren did not like the look in his right-hand man's eyes and his attitude, saying in a calm but fearful tone, "Warchief, do not—" Lord Guthorax responded, "Your men have proven their worth. You shall be granted power like none other. My powers of the Nether. Use them however you want." As the Nether God aimed his left hand over Warchief Dan'ro, he was developing a dark purple aura as his green orcish skin was turning purple and dark red tattoos appeared over his body. He wasn't sure if the feeling he had felt painful or pleasureful, but he could feel an immense power flowing through his body, "Aah-aaargh!" Gul'ren said with a displeasing snarl, "What have you done?" The new and improved Dan'ro yelled, "I'm tired of taking orders from you, Dark Lord. From here on out, I'm the Dark King and Demon World shall remain in utter chaos. Raaargh!" Lots of rocks surround Dan'ro and he unleashed a powerful earth blast at Lord Gul'ren, ultimately betraying him. Lord Gul'ren dodged it via teleportation and yelled furiously, "This treachery and treason will be your last!" and teleported out of the area and back to the dark fortress.

Void King Guthorax didn't understand those two, "I could never understand those two. Even that orcish demon would have betrayed the dark elf in another time period, using the Eye of Dimensional Distortion for his own tribe's personal gain, which resulted in me using God of Destruction Belphebub as a backup and even that would have failed. I couldn't even trace that traitorous orc but he was at least useful in this timeline." Yup, somehow, he seemed to know what happened 27 years later in Timeline A. "No matter. I'll see to it that—"

Suddenly, "Stop right there!" General Venierro sneaks up on the Nether God and incants, "Dimension Æther: Dimension Spear [次元霊気：次元槍, Jigenreiki: Jigenyari]!" stabbing through the air with his spear, creating a dimensional riff that stabbed through the Eye of the Dreadlord and banished it to another dimension. The Nether God was surprised, "Hmm? Well, if it isn't the General whom King Yama sent. I thought you weren't allowed to reveal your true identity in the living world." The dark nephalems were surprised, "Is that...?"/"General Venierro?!"/"That guy..." These dark warriors recognize the Nephalic General and Guthorax could have used the Eye of the Dreadlord to block General Venierro's dimensional attack, yet, he didn't for some reason. General Venierro wondered, those creatures... are they... nephalem? Devils? but then said, "Enough talk. His Divine Majesty will be here soon enough with reinforcements not only from the Kingdom but also from Paradise." Guthorax said casually, "I'll be waiting. And know this, General Venierro, I intend to become the Supreme God once more." The four-armed insect-like nephalem General just now realized and was curious, so, that eye was the one causing problems in my pocket dimension and Spirit World. I see now. But why didn't he used it to block my dimensional attacks? Is he really baiting His Divine Majesty? Venierro then said, "From the way you have been, using these necromancers to do your bidding, which caused the destruction of the beauty on this planet, we will not let you become Supreme God again. I may be nephalem, but don't underestimate my powers, dark archnephalem. The Æther is no longer part of you." Guthorax responded, "Don't underestimate the power of the Nether. My servants, deal with that nephalem." The nether spirit that used to possess C.S. Galactica said, "Our pleasure," and the nether spirits engaged battle with General Venierro again. As a dark nephalem said, "I can't wait to kill the guy that banished me to the void!" Before some dark nephalems recklessly attack General Venierro, Guthorax ordered them, "Halt, I'll need my most trustworthy warriors by my side." The dark nephalems obeyed, "Yes, Your Majesty."

So it's official. This deity of the nether was once an archnephalem that was the Supreme God of Spirit World; most likely the original Supreme God before Yama the Enma even though Yama, the God of Death, built Spirit World. But this deity is still one of the Spirit World's co-founders along with King Yama and while Yama was King of the Kingdom even back then, Guthorax was the Supreme God of the entire afterlife. Since it was stated that the Supreme God has the power to see the fourth dimension of time when someone changes the fabric of time, he is able to see the changes that happen. That explains how he knows about the future but it still questions if the void lacks space-time.

Scene: The forest on the west side of the Capital of Demon World (noon)


Necrolyte Araesa Blackforest the Black Forest Witch and Major General Rosella the Rose Witch continue their battle of nature. Seems like Rosella and her team are winning. "Surrender, Araesa." Rosella aims her thorny vine whip at Araesa. The remaining living soldiers among her group and Barburos's group surrounds Araesa after taking care of her undead forest. Araesa believes, "This isn't over yet. Now that the Master is free, your world is toast." Araesa is struggling and yelled out of her character, "Ugh! Why? WHY?! Why was I always inferior to you?" Major General Rosella said, "You don't have any allies supporting you. It's over." Among the soldiers, Sergeant Zack Snapdragon asked her superior impatiently, "Will you finish her already, Mistress?"

Araesa yelled, "No, it's not over yet!" With her remaining power, she summons a new whole forest of undead plants that killed or devoured many soldiers and teleported inside a flower covering her. As soldiers were being attacked again, Sergeant Zack Snapdragon asked his partner, "Gale, are you alright?" Corporal Gale Starlily responded in slight fear, "They just keep coming," but she continued to fight them. Major General Rosella was annoyed, "Tch, that's it. I had enough of this. Everyone, march into the fortress, I'll take Araesa on my own for now on." Her female Colonel-ranked soldier asked, "Are you sure? Because last time—" Rosella responded, "I won't make the same mistakes I've been making from here on out. Now, beat it!" Rosella hunts down Araesa, wherever she may be. Her Colonel said, "Roger," and ordered the team, "Everyone, to the fortress. Move it!" Before proceeding with the other soldiers, Gale was worried for their leader, Mistress, be careful...

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


General Whir was still standing strong against Lord Gul'ren's Lich King but it looks like the armored Lich King entity is still standing strong too. The giant skeletal spellwarrior casted a blast of dark ice from its bladed scepter and General Whir dodges away from it while the ice attack froze the ground and General Whir made a quick swipe with his thunderbolt swords across the skeleton wizard's bones, but only to be healed a second later after General Whir landed on the ground. The Lich King entity then raised its bony arms and summoned a bunch of liches from the ground inside the palace, which are undead mages; zombies or skeletons that can cast magic. General Whir complained while slicing through them, "Oh great, now I got to deal with more of these creatures. And they can now use magic?" He also dodged some of their magical attacks.

Suddenly, Lord Gul'ren returned on the left shoulder of the Lich King entity and said in a bad mood, "Heh, still at it, eh? I'll deal with you later." Lord Gul'ren merged himself with the Lich King and now he really is the Lich King. The Lich King's warrior-like armor was replaced with dark wizarding robes. General Whir kept a straight look, "You aren't going anywhere! Zakeru Kiroro!" While dodging the smaller liches' magic attacks that destroyed each other, General Whir launched several aerial blades of lightning from his thunderbolt short swords at Lich King Gul'ren. Gul'ren blocked it with his bone shield and General Whir launched a larger electrical blade wave, "Gigano Zakeru Kiroro!" Lich King Gul'ren used teleportation magic to escape the palace. Right now, he wants to deal with his right-hand traitor, keeping General Whir busy with his summoned liches.

Scene: Near the Dark Fortress of the Capital of Demon World


Back at Marshal General Zeon Bell's group as they were fighting against the undead, Zeon wondered who that giant shadow deity was, "Who is that titan?" A Colonel-ranked soldier in General Whir's army said, "Your Highness, we must make haste to the fortress. At least collect the King's crown." Zeon nodded and headed their way.

[Insert random character theme]
A giant magical portal then appeared from space and out came the Supreme God of Spirit World, Yama the Enma, God of Death and King of Spirit World Kingdom. Followed him were six archangels including the Four Great Angelic Saints of Paradise, the Paradise King Jupiter, and Military Police Chief/Warden Neptune. Numerous amounts of nephalic soldiers of the Neptune's Nephalem Military Police Force and angelic soldiers of General Mars' Peacekeeping Angel Army flew out of the portal to engage battle with the dark nephalems and dark devils.

"Ah, they're here... In the living world as well," Void King Guthorax said casually as he looked up. "Guthorax-sama..." said by the archnephalic Supreme God Yama calmingly but with tightened eyes. Guthorax said, "It's been a very long time, Yama." Paradise King Jupiter said, "I can't believe we have to reveal ourselves to the living world. So much for our secrecy, Supreme God." The Sky God of Thunder's brother Neptune, Chief of the Nephalem Military Police Force of Spirit World Kingdom and God of Water said, "It had to be done, brother. The universe is at deep threat." Jupiter's daughter Venus, the Goddess of Love and Great Angelic Saint of Kindness and felt horrified seeing this world in utter pandemonium, "Oh my, this looks terrible; much worse than watching from above."

Every demon on the ground wonder who these titan-sized angels were and the winged warriors that are aiding them.

Guthorax said, "I see you brought all of the archangels with you, Yama the Great Enma. It's also been a long time Saturn. No longer the King of Paradise, I see." Great Angelic Saint of Humility Saturn squinted his eyes, "Hmm..." General Mars of the Angel Peacekeeping Army readied his crimson-bladed spear and crimson parma and said, "Just who and what the heck are you? An archdevil or something?" Guthorax, still staring upward, said, "You haven't heard of me, Guthorax, one of the co-founders of Spirit World and the first Supreme God of Spirit World? I must say I am very disappointed in the new generation." All of the archangels beside Saturn and Neptune were surprised with General Mars and the Messenger God Mercury reacting, "What?!" The Goddess of Love Venus wondered and asked her father Jupiter and grandfather Saturn, "Is this true, My Holy Father? Grandfather?" Jupiter said, "It's my first time hearing this." while his brother Neptune said, "I'm surprised father never told you about him, Jupiter. Enma-sama informed me on the history of Spirit World when I took on the job as Chief of the Kingdom's Nephalem Military Police Force eons ago." King Jupiter got mad at his father, "Father, you were also one of the co-founders. Why have you kept this secret from me and everyone else the entire time?" His father Saturn apologized, "My apologies. To be honest, I wanted to forget the whole thing forever. It's... It was too tragic for me. I was a coward and I did nothing to stop it from happening. I haven't mastered Time Blessing or Time Æther at the time so there was nothing I could do to turn back. Forgive me, My Son." Jupiter yelled at him, "What happened, father? Can you rewind time now?" Saturn said, "My apologies, My Holy Son. Even after that artifact affected this entire universe until now, space-time has reset and no magic or science can rewind time before this point. I would have to reset to the beginning of time but that would take approximately 2,820 seconds to initiate Time Æther: Temporal Reboot [時恵：時間の再起動, Jimegumi: Jikan no Sakidō], time we do not have." Jupiter shouted, "Darn it!" and wondered, "What kind of artifact had such power to affect the space-time continuum?" Guthorax realized, "Oh, so then it is the Eye of Spacetime Distortion, not just Dimension Distortion. Something I wasn't informed... Interesting..."

While it was commonly known that the Dreadlord Malfournis's right eye was known as the Eye of Dimensional Distortion, as no one knew about its chronokinesis (except for Malfournis) until now, it is pretty much the Eye of Spacetime Distortion. How did such an ancient demon possess such power to control even the fabric of the universe? What is this "divine" eye?

Flashback Scene: An unknown cryptic cave in Demon World (about 10,000 years ago)


[Insert random occult music]
Somewhere over ten thousand years ago, a group of large gargoyle-like demons including Malfournis as well as various large bat-winged vampires gathered in some occult-like demonic cavern. The place looked really creepy but religious. A holographic image of a skeletal wizard head with a bone crown appeared in the center of these eight dreadlords over a demonic seal, "The time is now, my dreadlords." The gargoyle and vampiric dreadlords bowed and the bloody vampire-like dreadlord said, "My Lich King—Your Majesty, the sacrifices have been made. One-hundred twenty-five victims... over two thousand pints of blood extracted." A stone gargoyle dreadlord said, "Two hundred and fifty-five souls gathered within my stone cold body, My King. All for you." The Lich King said, "Excellent. Now then... I've heard a new absolute ruler of your world was recently selected but his intentions... questionable... perhaps unacceptable."

Malfournis stepped forward two steps and said, "My Lich King..." The Lich King asked, "You have something to say, Malfournis?" Malfournis responded, "I came in contact with a humanoid demon sorcerer who arranged a terrorist attack on the King's stronghold. This man named Shao-Tzu is a father of a second place competitor who seeks revenge on the new monarch. I can use this man and his organization to infiltrate the stronghold and delete the new monarch but with powers, I require for utter success." The bloody vampire dreadlord said, "You just want to be King of Demon World for yourself, don't you? What have you done, Malfournis, to deserve this when I, Vlanador, sacrificed over one hundred and twenty-five lives? Why am I not the one that—" The Lich King ordered the Blood Vampire Vlanador, "Silence!" and granted Malfournis's permission and wish, "Very well, Malfournis. Through my remaining powers, I shall grant you powers with that could potentially manipulate the powers of space and time over your right psychic eye." A red and purple aura surrounds Malfournis as he closed his pink n' red psychic eyes and the Lich King said, "Use it well. Let none survive, even your cohort. Succeed and you shall be granted the ruler of Demon World. Do not disappoint me or there will be severe consequences." Malfournis's eyes glowed in different colors as he opened them and he said, "Thank you, My Unholy One. It shall be done but this eye... You sure you don't need any more souls?" The Lich King said, "The others have gathered more than enough for my survival in this infernal world. Do what you want with them; banish their souls to the void... or into the burning pits of the Netherworld. Your choice, Dreadlord... But of course, while I don't require any in the time being, I would be very generous if you could donate some to my side. In the meantime, I found a young demon of great dark potential within the King's stronghold. He could be perfect as my new host once I'm out of this wretched world. My liches will serve him well. Keep that boy alive. That new eye I've developed and given you might be useful in a very far future when it develops enough to free myself from this decaying realm and possibly one of my former cohorts from another. You are all dismissed." Malfournis understood, "Very well, My Unholy One. For the Nether..." The other dreadlords also chanted, "For the Nether..." They all have the same chant that the Acolytes of the Nether has, oddly enough.

So it was the God of Undeath that granted Malfournis the powers of space-time distortion in his right eye. He already had psychic eyes but his right psychic eye was replaced with the new eye he received that can distort space and time throughout the universe. Malfournis does his job well, killing everyone in the palace and spared the young child the Lich King spoke of, young Gul'ren. And of course, Gul'ren would eventually make contact with the God of Undeath himself after he learns necromancy from King Yama. And the liches the Lich King spoke of were most likely Stalghor the Demon Beast Skeleton and Zon'mortuis the Immortal Zombie Assassin. But who is the Lich King exactly? His "cohort" must be Guthorax, which would make sense on how Gul'ren gained contact with the Nether God King of the Void after obtaining the Lich King's powers. They are certainly affiliated with each other in some way, yet, it seems the God of the Nether never realized who was trying to help him the entire time.

Scene: Above the Dark Fortress of the Capital of Demon World


King Jupiter ordered his father, "Return back to Paradise and initiate it anyway." Some of Guthorax's dark nephalic soldiers surround Saturn and Guthorax said harshly, "I don't think so. Don't make me harm you." Yama asked and stated, "What has happened to you, Guthorax? You used to be the God of Balance, the Hierarch of our birth planet, Ishtar. To be balanced within the universe..." Guthorax's his anger suddenly increased, "Silence! I'm done listening to you! You threw me into the void for over many eons and made me turn into this... dark archnephalem. I only feel chaos now!" Yama wanted to explain, "Please, let me explain—" Guthorax shouted angrily, "And you've taken my place as the Supreme God of the entire Spirit World. Wasn't being King of Spirit World Kingdom good enough for you?" Suspiciously enough, one of his nether spirits thought to itself, Yes... feel the wrath, My Master. Feed my power... Considering the nether spirit that controlled Sir Galactica in the future timeline unlocked the God of Destruction within Belphebub through an increase of rage, the same nether spirit in this timeline is doing the same to its Nether God. What are these "nether spirits" and are they acting on their own?

King Yama shouted, "Let me explain. Don't forget that I, as the God of Death, was the one built Spirit World, but what I did was for the safety of—" While he was talking, a nether spirit snuck up on Yama without Guthorax's permission and incanted, "Death Nether: Death Ray!" and instantly killed the God of Death Supreme God Yama the Enma with a single dark beam of death, "Arrrgh!" as his spiritual particles spread through space. Suddenly, Guthorax's temper suddenly calmed down and wondered what happened, "What?!" Neptune shouted, "Enma-sama!"

[Insert random battle music]
Mars prepares to attack Guthorax, "Why you?!" Guthorax looked surprised, "What did—? I did not order my proxy to—" Mars incants in anger, "Fire Blessing: Phoenix Fire [火恵：鳳凰火, Kamegumi: Hōōhi]!" firing a large ball of holy fire from his crimson shield at Guthorax while Neptune incants, "Water Blessing: Holy Water Spear!" firing three highly-pressured jets of holy water from the tips of his water trident. Guthorax defends while putting his left nether hand out, "Void Nether: Null Shield [空冥気：空白盾, Kūmeiki: Kūhakutate]," summoning a black and purple vortex in front of him that banished the fire and water blessing attacks into the void. Mars wondered, "Nether? What the heck is that?" Saturn explained, "The fourth 'rare' type of Spirit World magic; null Spirit World magic. The exact opposite of the divine gray Spirit World magic Æther." Mercury said in the back, "I didn't know there was something that opposes Æther," while Mars said while focusing his attention on Guthorax, "Me neither, but we cannot let a guy like this take over the universe." Guthorax said, "You fool. Do you really think I want to take over the whole universe? But Spirit World will be mine again." Mars shouted, "Over my dead body! Haaargh! Fire Blessing: Talon of the Phoenix! Wings of the Phoenix!" Mars engulfs holy flames on the tip of his spear [Talon of the Phoenix] and over his angel wings [Wings of the Phoenix] to increase his flying speed and flew towards Guthorax in melee combat while dodging Death Nether attacks launched at him from those nether spirits. King Jupiter shouted at his son, "Mars, get back here!"

Guthorax said to Mars, "You are a fool if you can defeat an ancient deity, new gen," and teleported away from Mars's flaming spear. As Mars was making a turn-around, Guthorax aims his right hand at him and incants, "Void Nether: Nullification [空冥気：無効化, Kūmeiki: Mukōka]," forcefully cancelling Mars' active blessings, negating them, "What?" Saturn gave them a warning, "Mars, I advise you to be careful. Nether is not to be underestimated." Guthorax said, "You should listen to the old coward. I could kill you anytime I want to with Death Nether. Don't make me use my Death Ray, boy." Neptune shouted in anger, "Just like you killed Enma-sama, you freak! Water Æther: Waterspout Rage [水柱激怒, Suichū Gekido]!" Neptune summoned a divine water tornado below and around Dark Guthorax as he flinched, "Mmm..." Being made of nether, Dark Guthorax takes extra damage from offensive æther spells. Mars incants, "Fire Blessing: Phoenix Arrow!" engulfing holy flames on his crimson-bladed spear, throw it up vertically in the air. As the holy flames on the spear shaped into wings of fire, the spear arched into the water vortex from above to attack Dark Guthorax from above. Both attacks exploded into steam of holy æther.

As an explosion of steam hides the attacked dark archnephalem, Mars wonders, "Did that get him?" The fog of steam was suddenly blown away as the Nether God came out nearly unharmed, "Your Water Æther did hurt me a bit due to my body type, but it'll take a lot more than that to stop me." Mars was surprised, "What?" while Neptune seemed irritated, "Err..." but thought, so, it seems that a being like him is weak against æther magic. The opposite can be said too as seen what he did to Enma-sama. Just to note, all non-nether Spirit World deities' bodies, regardless of race, are made of æther, the spiritual essence that flows through existence. Anyways, Guthorax holds Mars' spear in his ethereal right hand and he completely obliterates and erases it with, "Destruction Nether: Obliteration [破壊冥気：抹殺, Hakaimeiki: Shōkyo Bakudan]]." Mars seemed even more uneasy now that his main weapon was deleted, "Ah crap, there goes my spear." Mars summons a holy sword in his right hand as a replacement.

Between the height from the ground and to the deities, General Venierro wondered, is there anything we can do?

Scene: Around and at the Dark Fortress of the Capital of Demon World


Meanwhile, around the ruined town buildings near the Dark Fortress, it appears that every red-cloaked acolyte was slain in the city, all but the two remaining former members of the Laughing Deathstock Gang. "That'll show them," said Hyenus Maximus, concealed under his own red robe as he resharpens his claws. He appeared to have slashed through all of the living acolytes. "Urr ye sure this is a guid idea, mah gaffer?" ⟨"Are you sure this is a good idea, my boss?"⟩, said Thodrum Thunderbeard. Hyenus Maximus said, "I'm done listening to the occult. They can all rot in the Netherworld—or whatever—for what I care. They didn't bother bringing our friends' souls back other than you." Hyenus Maximus rips off his robes and reveals his casual clothing. Thodrum Thunderbeard appeared sad, "Ah lassy mah muckle bro. Finally git tae see him again bit ainlie fur a short time afore th' Resistance destroyed him. Ehh, he wasn't his-sel anyway 'n' that cannon sure blew up th' toun, killing a bunch o' fowk. Crimey, ah wonder howfur thay git his soul." ⟨"I miss my big bro. Finally got to see him again but only for a short time before the Resistance destroyed him. Ehh, he wasn't himself anyway and that cannon sure blew up the town, killing a bunch of people. Crimey, I wonder how they got his soul."⟩

Suddenly, a soldier found the two and shouted, "Freeze! Surrender yourself, acolyte scum!" Hyenus and Thodrum surrendered quickly with their hands up and Thodrum said, "Dinnae hurt me! ah wasn't yin o' thaim anyway." ⟨"Don't hurt me! I wasn't one of them anyway."⟩ Hyenus argued, "Oi, you should all be thanking me for slaying all of those acolytes for you although—" He was thinking about that one Royal Knight he assassinated a week ago, though he would prefer not admitting that with his life. The random soldier recognize him, "You! You're Hyenus Maximus, aren't you? I should kill you right now but if you surrender peacefully—" Hyenus said loudly with a panicking look, "Yes, we surrender peacefully! I'd much be happier with you guys winning the war than the cult." A group of soldiers seized them and one of them said, "Don't do anything funny." Hyenus chuckled and said, "Kehehee! Funny is my middle name, but I'll be serious this time." The same soldier ordered him, "Keep walking. I'm warning you."

Meanwhile, Marshal General Zeon Bell and General Whir's men arrived at the Dark Fortress. The fortress's throne room was filled with busted skeletons and Zeon wondered, "Where is everyone?" General Whir comes out from another room with the King's crown in his hand, "Crown acquired. The Dark Lord left in a hurry, leaving this behind." He seems to be alright; probably taken down the group of undead wizards [liches] with ease before searching for the King's crown. The other soldiers were happy, "Whir-sama!" and Zeon was really surprised, "That... that was easier than I thought. Where is the Dark Lord?" General Whir said, "No clue but we must track him down and get rid of him. Lieutenant General D.D. Veni is actually our best bet." Speaking about Veni, Marshal General Zeon would like to mention, "About that..."

Before Zeon explained to General Whir, the same soldier from before said, "Your Highness, General, we secured two... of these crooks." His team had Hyenus Maximus and Thodrum Thunderbeard cuffed with Hyenus saying, "No! Anywhere but the fortress. The Dark King is going to kill me!" Zeon was surprised, "The Laughing Deathstock?" Hyenus said, "Okay, I know we did some crazy awful things in the past but..." He then begs and cries, "Please win the war! I don't want to be a pawn with this cult anymore. The—The Dark King isn't here... is he?! Please protect our souls!" Hyenus is worried for his life. Zeon said, "You killed not one but two of our Royal Knights. Do you really think we should trust you?" General Whir was preparing to pull out his thunderbolt swords, "You scums..." Hyenus just peed his robes, "Eeeeek!" and whispered in a high-pitch voice, "I just peed myself," and Thunderbeard sighed, "Ehhh...." Zeon said, "Fine. If you want to live, stick with us and don't do anything stupid. But you'll be meeting jail time when this is over unless." Hyenus and Thodrum cried happily, "Thank you." General Whir wondered what Zeon was about to explain, "Now, about that?" Zeon explains to Whir about who Veni really is.

Scene: Northern area of the Capital of Demon World (a while ago)


[Insert random battle music]
Dark King Gul'ren the Lich King and the nether-augmented Warchief Dan'ro Deathscream teleported to the northern urban areas of the capital of Demon World. King Gul'ren appeared as a giant skeletal dark wizard with purple glowing eye dots while the purple-skinned Warchief Dan'ro with dark red tattoos geared up in a gigantic geokinetic exoskeleton with spiritual energy supporting the rock limbs as joints and crystals and metal ores sticking out of his rock armor. Lich King Gul'ren said in a scary tone, "I will not tolerate this betrayal." Warchief Dan'ro said in a deep, growly voice with attitude, "Don't underestimate my new found powers. The Deathscream shall reign. He-aarrggh!" Warchief used his geokinesis to summon giant boulders in the air as well as telekinetically lifting building debris in the air and threw each object at King Gul'ren's giant undead body. Lord Gul'ren used some magic to banish the boulders and the debris out of his way and said softly but angrily, "So be it."

Lord Gul'ren summons three giant skeletal liches that casted elemental magic of fire, ice, and lightning respectively. Warchief Dan'ro summoned an earth wall from the ground and blocked each elemental magic attacks. From the explosion caused by the collision of the spells, Dan'ro Deathscream charges after Lord Gul'ren while quaking the earth with each step and shoved Lord Gul'ren into a giant earth wall of spikes he just summoned behind Lord Gul'ren and impaled him as Gul'ren reacted in slight pain, "Gaargh!" Dan'ro also summoned three phantom earth golems. Warchief Dan'ro then punched Lord Gul'ren and smashed him through the spiked earth wall. While Dan'ro's guard was focused on Lord Gul'ren, he was attacked by the giant liches again with elemental magic, "Gerrgh!" His phantom earth golems retaliate in revenge. As Lord Gul'ren's undead body and bones slowly regenerated, he knocked the earth with the bottom of his spear-like scepter and unleashed waves of spiked bones that rushed the from the ground, stabbing through Deathscream's giant earth body to immobilize Deathscream's giant form, "Err!"

Lord Gul'ren ordered Deathscream while approaching him, "Stand down," and Dan'ro responded angrily while busting through the bony spikes with brute force, "Never!" So, who'll be the winner of this treacherous battle?

Scene: Haunted forest in the west of Capital of Demon World (a while ago)


A lot of soldiers among Major Generals Rosella and Barburos's group were killed and devoured by undead plants and ghosts from the Witch of the Black Forest's latest spell. Araesa is making her escape and as the rest of the soldiers were heading to the fortress in an attempt to secure the Dark Lord (which isn't going to happen at this point as they're too late), Rosella was chasing after her former best friend for their final confrontation. At the back of the group of soldiers that were heading towards the fortress, Corporal Gale was worried about Rosella, telling this to Sergeant Zack, "We... We just can't leave her behind... Zack?" Zack was feeling the same as well as something else but remained silent until they find a spot among building debris where they can cut off from the rest of the group without them knowing. "I know. I got a funny feeling she might do something she'll regret." The two ran back towards the forest.

Rosella caught up with Araesa again, destroying two banshees that were in her way with plant magic. Araesa looked exhausted and so was Rosella. Araesa appeared upset; frustrated. "Why? WHY?! What have I gone wrong?" Rosella said, "It's not just you, it was also me. But now that I'm serious, I'm not giving you any more chances, my friend. No more mistakes. You lost your way long ago." Araesa only has angry eyes at this point. Rosella ordered her, "Surrender now, or I'll put you away, forever." Araesa's angry face turned into a smirk, "Kill me if you want. It won't make a difference, Rose Witch. I'll be resurrected and you... you and your little pals are through. You are all already dead. Fu... fufufufu..." Her mind seems to be lost for a few seconds. After getting serious again, she yelled quietly and sinisterly, "Now die!" Araesa summoned poisonous dead vines from the ground behind Rosella. Rosella had her guard up the entire time and made a fast dodge just right before the vines could stab her but instead, the poisonous dead vines accidentally impaled Araesa's body, "Arrrugh!" She spat out blood. Rosella was still exhausted and said, "Our fates have been sealed. As your friend, I'm taking you out with me. The others will fulfill their roles." Araesa coughed out blood and said while trying to end her spell, "You wouldn't..." Rosella wraps her rose whip around Araesa, inflicting pain on her and injecting her with poisonous thorns, "Err-arrrgh!" Rosella then incants, "Shin Diojugaro! Shin Giga Ra Rōzuron!" Rosella first summoned a gigantic flower that sprayed poisonous sleeping pollen all over the area, putting them both to sleep but Rosella thought to herself before going into eternal sleep, I wish I was there with you at the time. It was always my biggest regret. I'm sorry, old friend. Then with the second spell, a black rose summon under them and around them, sealing them both together.

Zack and Gale arrived too late with Gale shouting, "Mistress!" and Zack shouted, "No!" Zack stood still but while Gale kept running, Zack ordered her, "Gale, stand back. This is a poisonous sleeping pollen; it'll put you into eternal sleep." Gale stood still before entering the field of sleeping pollen but was worried, "But..." They both watched Rosella and Araesa sleeping, being devoured by a black rose forming around them, which pulled them underground, where they'll both be buried together. These are the same two spells Sir Rosella of the future used to seal away the Dark Lord for eternity but instead of just using it for one person, Rosella of the past is sealing herself away with her former best friend, giving hope to the rest of the army to finish the mission. "Mistress!" Zack and Gale cried for her, but there is nothing they can do at this point.

Their Colonel came back and said, "What are you two—Rosella-sama?! Why?" Even though he is upset for the stunt his superior did, he said to his subordinates, "Let's get back to the group. The others are waiting at the fortress." Zack responded softly, "Yes, sir."

The only known soldiers that could seal away the Dark King at this point is General Karoa, but she is not feeling well at the moment, as well as General Venierro of the Nephalem Military Police Force.

Scene: In the sky and space above the Dark Fortress of Demon World (current time in the afternoon)


[Insert random battle music]
The battle between the gods continued. Saturn ordered the dark archnephalem, "Please, stop this madness. You were never like this, Guthorax." Guthorax appeared to be in an anger state, "Shut it, old man. I'll do whatever it takes to rule supreme once again." One of the nether spirits said quietly and suspiciously, "Yes... keep building that rage... kill them... Kill them all..." Dark Guthorax was preparing a nether incantion, "Death Nether..." Neptune shouted, "Everyone, prepare to evade." The Nether God was about to finish his incantation, "Death R—Errgh! Arrgh!" He stopped as he started agonizing. He had his intangible shadow hands to his head. Mars wondered, "What's happening?" Guthorax was confused, "Get—Get out! Get out of my head! My mind, what's going on? No..." Something really seems to be controlling his attitude and it has something to do with his shadow proxies; the nether spirits, with one of them saying, "Oops, guess I pushed him too far. Busted... Enough of this charade, though..." Saturn understood, "I see. Something was controlling him. It really wasn't his doing. How could I have missed this? No, Yama-sama's soul!"

Suddenly, more shadow spirits just appeared and they gathered together and they extracted King Yama's spiritual particles that were floating in space. All the nether spirits starting fusing together along with King Yama's soul into a new being. An evil feminine laugh was heard throughout the sky, "Ahh-hahahahaha!" Guthorax recognized the voice, "That voice... It can't be... This... entire time? How did I not—" The other deities were confused. Saturn also found it familiar, "It's... her...? How did we miss this?" Mercury wondered, "'Her?'" and Mars also wondered, "Who?" All of the nether spirits that are presented formed into a giant devilish female deity that resembles a succubus with a nearly solid but hollow body and said, "If you won't finish them off and give me their soul, Master, then I will." Guthorax was surprised, "Themis? No..." He mistook her for someone else but he corrected himself along with Saturn saying this female archdevil's real name, "... Adikia..." Suddenly, the Nether God's mind was struck with a powerful force as he holds his ethereal hands to his hand, "Err! Get out of my head!" What's happening to him?

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's archdevil form and evil personality... I've only heard about her. Her body is mixed with æther... and nether essences. 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.

The hollow Adikia stares down at the other deities with an evil, smiling glare. She must have been the one pulling the strings behind the God of Balance/Nether God the entire time but how did Guthorax and the rest of the deities miss that this entire time and who is she? And who is Themis, her so-called original form, that Guthorax mistook the hollowed archdevil Adikia for?
