The silence surrounded the area after the abrupt scream that had not come from anything less than the gauntlet on Issei's arm.
Draig finally recognized him—the bastard who had killed more than 10 of his most promising and strongest hosts who had foolishly crossed his path. But he did not forgive them.
Issei felt a chill run through his entire body as his legs began to tremble like jelly… Demon King and Phoenix.
Irina and Xenovia looked incredulously at the young man on top of the building. They had heard of him in the Vatican—worse than Lucifer. He practiced dark arts and promoted Satanism and offerings in his name, which had passed from Lucifer to Phoenix, highlighting how dominant he was by not inheriting the name of his god but elevating his own.
Kiba shivered. His mere presence made him feel sick… He felt like going to the bathroom, locking himself in, lying in his bed, and never getting up again… there was no hope.
Akeno blinked. Sexy.
Rias's eyes shone—her idol and secret love since childhood. She finally saw him after years since she had attended his party and that of his twin sister. She admitted he was a thousand times better than Raiser, even if he had a bad reputation in the shadows. He was the demon she desired… him… No one else. The one her brother hated and always told her how bad he was, warning her not to get close.
What Sirzechs never knew was that the more he tried to keep her away and sell her the bad boy image of Naruto, the more he pushed Rias into becoming captivated by him since she was a child. If he knew, he surely wouldn't be able to stand it—his little sister in love with the guy he hated most.
"NARUTOOOOOO…"
Kokabiel shouted with a mix of panic and bravery. Like a caged animal, he leaped from his throne, spreading his wings and creating an immense spear of light.
"Ugly things!"
Kokabiel heard a voice behind his back.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH…"
A scream of pure pain echoed throughout the place as the spectators looked incredulously at how that blond boy—Naruto—literally tore Kokabiel's wings off with his hands. Simply madness. They couldn't even handle Kokabiel's pets, which began to burn and howl.
Naruto turned and connected a kick to Kokabiel's back, sending him crashing into the ground.
"BOOOOMMMM…!"
Naruto mocked him, descending with fiery wings flaring behind him.
Naruto: "You want war and you're so weak? No doubt you'd hide behind that pile of brainless meat…" he said with disgust at this useless being. That's what Kokabiel provoked in him… He shouldn't even be considered a man.
Naruto placed his feet on Kokabiel's chest and began to apply pressure.
Kokabiel snapped out of his stupor of pain and grabbed Naruto's leg… mistake.
Naruto braced himself and with his other foot began to kick Kokabiel in the face… with strength, without mercy, without disgust… purely brutal.
"BOOOMMM…"
"BOOOMMM…"
The small explosions echoed in the silent place. The ones most disturbed were the church envoys at the sheer brutality of none other than the Demon King, though the eyes of a certain blue-haired girl shone… Without God, he was worth it… Hmm… young and handsome.
"SPLAAAASHHH…"
A disgusting sound like a watermelon being smashed was finally heard… several looked away.
Naruto: "Will you show yourself at last?…" he asked curiously but not addressing anyone in particular.
An intense light shone in the sky, breaking the barrier, causing everyone except Naruto to look up.
"Whaaat…"
"That light…"
"That armor…"
Naruto: "If you don't come out, I'll kill him…" he said again, cutting off the monologue the boy in the sky was about to begin.
Everyone looked strangely at Naruto when, from the forest not far away, a figure appeared. Now Naruto turned his gaze.
Naruto: "Azazel…" he calmly mentioned as the Fallen Leader walked seriously in his direction, glancing at what was left of Kokabiel.
Underworld – Phoenix Territory – Living Room.
Sitting quietly drinking tea was Azula, accompanied by Esdeath and none other than Raiser, who was in a corner, bound, kneeling, and with slabs of rock on top of him while beneath him were solid stones.
Raiser had a lost look.
Esdeath: "I still think you should throw him into Tartarus. Losing to a useless one—even though he used traps—it was only a bit of water…" she commented to her friend.
Azula frowned.
Azula: "Mai!" she called seriously, and the ninja appeared behind her.
Azula pointed at Raiser.
Azula: "Marianne left him in my care… sprinkle him with holy water…" she ordered her servant, who nodded and went to fetch it.
A resigned look appeared on Raiser's face. He cursed the day his father messed with crazy torturers.
Esdeath: "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger…" she said with a cruel smile.
"The holy water can m… AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH…"
World – Japan – Kuoh Academy.
The atmosphere was tense with the presence of two leaders of enemy factions.
Naruto: "Can I know what the fuck you're doing in my territory?…" he asked mordaciously, without an ounce of respect.
Azazel sighed inwardly, truly cursing the fact that that Gremory brat hadn't won his rebellion many years ago. Maybe… no, without a doubt, he would have been very different from this boy… young, yes, his appearance hadn't changed at all from his 17 years—strange, but oh well.
Azazel: "I came to make sure nothing goes wrong. Kokabiel is a rebel of my faction who wants to start a war I don't approve of nor support… I had sent someone to take care of him and only came to supervise… after all, we're talking about the Dagger of Destiny…" he explained calmly while Naruto frowned.
"Yes… that's a very dangerous weapon in the wrong hands."
A soft, almost angelic voice sounded, attracting everyone's attention as two figures appeared in the sky with a flash.
Azazel widened his eyes in surprise.
Azazel: "Michael… Gabriel…" he exclaimed, shocking the onlookers even more.
The current Hakuryuukou distanced himself from the two angelic figures, very entertained with this twist of events.
Sona, approaching with her group as the barrier was destroyed, looked in disbelief at those present and especially at her brother-in-law in the middle of them.
Naruto: "You too…" he growled with a frown. These bastards—"Who did they think they were to step into his territory as if nothing?"
Michael sighed at the fierce behavior of the leader of Hell, with whom he had been trying to open communication for years, only to be ignored and once cursed by some girl named Belial.
Michael: "It's not what it looks like, Lord Naruto. What happens is that the Dagger of Destiny is very dangerous, especially in Kokabiel's warlike hands. We don't know what he seeks, so we sent some minor forces into your territory… not enough to become a problem…" he explained softly.
Naruto: "Dagger of Destiny?…" he asked when a strange realization hit him and he looked at Kokabiel beneath him. He noticed nothing.
"N… Naruto-sama… this fell…"
Rias called, drawing everyone's attention—including Naruto's—who looked at her holding a dagger.
Naruto: "Give it to me…" he ordered seriously, and Rias, without hesitation, threw it.
Naruto caught the dagger and contemplated it.
Azazel and Michael frowned while Gabriel only observed in silence, her hood covering her.
Michael: "It's a weapon of Heaven, and I'd be grateful if you returned it… it will be of no use to you… demons already have a portal to reach the human world…" he explained superficially, downplaying his skills, though he wasn't lying. Demons had been walking the Earth for centuries. That dagger was useless to them.
Naruto smiled, taking some distance under everyone's expectant gaze. The ground began to shake as it opened, and a strange altar began to rise.
Michael was puzzled by the strange spectacle, as was everyone except Rias, who had studied a bit of demonology and certainly liked Satanism… This undoubtedly looked like an invocation ritual.
Naruto: "Yue…" he said calmly, and behind him, a figure appeared, emerging from his shadow.
Issei looked incredulously at this strange ritual.
Draig swallowed mentally, feeling a bad premonition.
Yue smiled, observing the angels and the fallen leader.
Naruto extended his palm toward the altar as a magic circle glowed, and a body wrapped in a white shroud began to appear.
"ASIAAAAAAAA…"
Issei shouted upon recognizing her, while the Gremory and Sitri groups were surprised, except for Akeno.
Asia had appeared lying on the altar, unconscious.
Naruto circled her as his hand wandered.
Naruto: "She's still alive… I think… no one dies from sex, it was only three days in which I let her eat, bathe, relieve herself before going back to sex. Even unconscious, I kept enjoying her… a worthy ex-nun…" he said calmly as his hand stopped on Asia's abdomen.
Naruto's words left many stunned.
Akeno only closed her eyes.
Sona couldn't believe it—her brother-in-law couldn't be that vile, that evil.
Naruto: "Without a doubt, she's pregnant…" he said calmly, and a chill ran through Michael's body.
Michael: "You… how?…" he asked, puzzled, but what Naruto sought shouldn't work—there existed no demon who couldn't walk the human world.
Something began to move in Asia's abdomen, and hands appeared, to the incredulity of everyone watching with their super vision.
The Hakuryuukou also remained expectant and curious.
Naruto moved his hand, holding the dagger, to Asia's abdomen and, under everyone's shocked eyes, cut.
"ASIAAAAAAAA NOOOOOOOOOOO…"
Issei, powerless, rushed forward, only to be intercepted mid-path by a spinning kick from Yue that sent him crashing into the academy.
"BOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM…"
Naruto finished his cut and stabbed the dagger beside the altar before guiding his hands to Asia's wound. He began to pull something out—a strange lump covered in blood that he bit, tearing it, and a hand emerged.
"No…"
Naruto licked his lips and tore more, giving space for two long hands, and then a head came out.
Naruto: "Welcome, Leviathan…" he said, and Azazel's, Gabriel's, and Michael's stomachs sank.
A strange rain suddenly began to fall.
"Yessssssss…"
A bestial roar echoed, and before anyone could even blink or utter a sound, Leviathan shot off, disappearing into the distance… running madly, naked.
Michael shook his head. He knew… Leviathan.
Michael instantly vanished in a flash, Gabriel following, but suddenly felt a hand around her throat.
Gabriel opened her eyes in surprise and gasped as her power was sealed instantly… all in mere seconds.
"VALI, RUUUUNNNN…"
Azazel roared and vanished instantly as Yue crashed into his previous spot.
Vali shot away before disappearing via a magic circle.
Naruto connected a powerful blow to Gabriel's abdomen, sending her into unconsciousness, the raindrops failing to wake her.
Naruto: "Hmhmhm… what a beautiful day. It never occurred to me to look for the Dagger of Destiny… to think it hadn't disappeared…" he said, descending again beside the altar.
Naruto moved his hands, and the wound in Asia's abdomen closed, though she still didn't react beyond her eyes half-open.
Sona had a bad premonition—a very bad one with all this and—
"Kyaaa…"
Some of the present screamed when the ground shook violently.
Naruto didn't flinch, nor did Yue.
Naruto: "It's coming…" he said as a golden flash descended from the sky and a strange heat began to evaporate the raindrops and nearby humidity.
Naruto laid Gabriel on the altar next to Asia, only to be grabbed by the collar and lifted, though he didn't move.
"What the hell are you doing, little war freak?!"
Amaterasu roared at her lover, the most problematic one she'd ever had. Although he made her life interesting, he was a thorn in her side.
Naruto mocked her.
Naruto: "What I had to do… I already gave you 100 years of peace, I can't let them develop further…" he explained calmly.
Amaterasu's brows furrowed as her gaze flared—she knew what he meant.
Amaterasu: "You never cared about stability. I allowed you to play with millions of lives so you'd become aware of the death of innocents, but it seems it didn't work…" she said seriously, her face inches from Naruto's.
Naruto: "Why the fuck would I care about other people's lives? Innocents? I'm not God, and neither are you… you're as sinful as me. Did your followers finally brainwash you? Who are you fooling? You've always known what I am since I courted Yasaka and met you…" he said calmly, slapping her hands off his suit.
Amaterasu's beautiful eyes blinked when she saw Naruto's original eyes. In them, she saw only brutality, bloodlust, madness, massacre, and other darker emotions… "Was he always like this? She had compared her eyes with his many times. Was she the same and just deceiving herself?"
Naruto noticed Amaterasu's internal conflict and moved his hand, touching her cheek.
Naruto: "Don't try to change for others. I'm the only one who wants you just as you are… that's how I like you, not what you try to become. We must bring excitement to this boring world. We have the power to do it, so why not? Olympus is weakened, Heaven is fragmented, and Asia burns… It's time…" he said with a smile, closing the distance with a kiss.
Amaterasu hesitated before giving in. This was her other half… as fiery and problematic as her. She wouldn't lose him. Yes, he was also right—she had worried about the will of the weak. Only her nekos were worth it, Yasaka and her followers, maybe her supposed family… hmm.
The earth trembled again, and the rain intensified as power outages spread throughout Japan.
Naruto smiled… the good part was coming.
Amaterasu frowned.
Amaterasu: "The rain is intensifying…" she said, noticing it falling harder against her base heat.
Naruto: "Don't worry, it's Leviathan raising the sea level. She knows whose side she's on, though she can get a little crazy…" he said, feeling another tremor.
Amaterasu sweated, looking at this idiot.
Rias and her group remained silent, not knowing what to do or how to act—everything had simply become madness.
Naruto blinked upon noticing his daughter's half-sister and touched his forehead. Yes, he still had to punish her, bring down Gabriel, and then clearly break the balance of death and unleash more plagues… yes, much work to reach the final point of what he sought: a supernatural world under his rule, humans—those who survived—all coexisting. Only a calamity that forced them to unite all together would serve, clearly after killing their leaders. He wasn't as warlike as Lucifer, but neither did he have any reason to contain his growing military power. He wasn't God, nor any idiotic idealist chasing some strange balance.
Naruto looked back at Yue, who stared expectantly.
Naruto: "Take them all to the Underworld… no… You know what? Leave the Sekiryuutei, only he stays here… open the portal…" he ordered his wife, who nodded and used her magic to move Gabriel and Asia, still lying on the altar.
The present ones, still fearful and doubtful, didn't even step heavily on the ground to avoid attracting Naruto's attention.
Irina held back her tears—Michael-sama had abandoned them into the demons' hands.
Xenovia was also in crisis, but there was nothing they could do.
Outside Japan.
Flying over the ground while drenched by the rain, Azazel looked genuinely disturbed by what that demon had just done… he had sacrificed his unborn child without a shred of hesitation to release Leviathan. If that wasn't a monster, he didn't know what was. "Did he not know what a threat Leviathan was in the human world? She had been cursed into Hell for a reason, where I myself could barely fight her and, with maneuvers, almost killed her several times. But now, without her father… may the heavens protect us."
Azazel opened a portal toward Grigori. He knew what this rain meant… the fucking sea goddess had descended, and she was the predator without rivals.
Asian Continent – Hindu Faction.
Atop a great mountain was a temple shrouded in clouds, none other than that of the God of Destruction Shiva, a Top Ten.
He observed the blue sky streaked with crows flying in one direction as lightning rumbled.
Shiva sighed—he felt a strange cycle forming nearby, strange and worrisome.
Shiva: "I hope it's not Indra's doing, or this time I'll cut his hands off…" he thought, unaware of the evil that had just been spontaneously released into the human world.
The entirety of the world shook in a terrifying tremor as something deep in the sea opened its eyes.
"GRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH…"
