(MOVED!) Project: INFERNO

Chapter 66: The True Devil King, Lucifer!

(Everyone on the hills stared at Satan's return, especially Sawano as all was in shock.)
"Ankoku: That's Satan..."
"Amesso: Damn it..! I wasn't quick enough... I should've stopped Kumamoto when I had the chance."
"Gaito: No need."
(Amesso gave her attention to Gaito.)
"Now that Satan's back, this could be a very decent challenge. Not just for me, for everyone down there in Japan and since we're dealing with the King of Hell. Sawano, this is your problem, so fix it."
"Sawano: This isn't even my fault!"
"Gaito: But Hell is your responsibility as God of Hell right?"
"Sawano: And what are you going to be doing??"
"Gaito: Ravaging through the church's collapsed rubble."
"Sawano: Fine. If you all still have the will to fight, follow me!"
(Sawano's wings then sprouted then flew towards Satan. Azumi and Ankoku followed him then Amesso started running then jumped into the air and started running on air to catch up to Sawano and the others. Nightwave and Noah nodded and joined them as well. Gaito stayed behind as he healed both Cassiel and Hinami after taking them away from the church. The unconscious Hinami began to awaken after her condition was stabilizing.)
"Hinami: Ngh.. G-Gaito..?"
"Gaito: Don't move. Your body is still trying to stabilize after staying in that church. Your friend will be fine too, unfortunately her element was transferred along with her healing abilities. Unless Lucifer's defeated, I can't transfer her powers back."
"Hinami: How come.. You didn't go..?"
"Gaito: I was going to salvage the wreckage of the church, seeing if there's anything down there."
"Hinami: I see.."
"Gaito: You two just remain here, I'll be back."
(Gaito jumped from the hill to the destroyed church as Hinami watched Sawano and the others fighting Satan in the air.)

"Lucifer: As much as I hate love, it feels lovely to feel alive after years and years of imprisonment in that Infinite Hell. As for you all, it seems things has changed as of late. Sawano Magachi, the one who defeated Lord Hades for the throne and took Lady Umezaki's hand in marriage? It appears Hades was not strong enough like in his old days... In his honor, I will commence with his unfinished deeds and kill you, Sawano Magachi!"
"Ankoku: To get to him, you got to get through us!"
"Lucifer: Is that so, Anti-God Ankoku? Hm.. Very well, I suppose I could playfully spar with you all for a few moments. However, I will not hold back any of my power, so please feel free to do the same without any hesitation."
(He then descended to the ground to an empty field which the others descended and did the same. Lucifer then summoned his three-bladed trident as he awaited for the first to step up.)
"Come now, I intend getting all of you out the way before I kill Sawano."
(Amesso walked up first and manifested her chain whips into gauntlets. Amesso then did not waste any time and rapidly began punching Lucifer with no punches being pulled back. Lucifer then takes a strongly executed elbow to his skull and a powerful uppercut which forced his entire body back with a stumble but remained on his feet. Lucifer cracked his neck and did not react to the attacks.)
"Not bad... My neck was a little stiff. Amesso was it? You get a six... out of one hundred. You got to have some better attacks there than some manifestation."
(He then sensed Noah's incoming blade across his neck but blocked it with just his thumb and had Noah with a shock on his face.)
"Noah: B-BASTARD! LET MY AXE GO!"
"Lucifer: This axe? You mean icicle toy?"
(With just a pluck, Noah's entire ice axe exploded and the force of the pluck forced Noah dragged across the field. Lucifer sighed out of boredom and twirled his trident and without anyone else visually seeing it, Lucifer picked to attack Sawano right out of the gate but was stopped by Ankoku and Azumi. Both Azumi and Ankoku then worked together with a combination of attacks to keep him away from Sawano.)

"Ankoku: YOU'RE NOT GOING NEAR SAWANO!"
"Azumi: YOU'LL HAVE TO PASS US!"
"Lucifer: Again with this same routine? Tag teaming against your adversary can have a disadvantage with the wrong move..."
(Sawano then appeared behind Lucifer with his fist clenched for a physical powered punch. Lucifer then pushed Azumi out of the way after breaking their formation, kicked Sawano across the empty grasslands and blast punched his fist through Ankoku's stomach which then exploded his entire body from the force of the entire attack.)
"Sawano & Azumi: ANKOKU!!!!!!!"
"Lucifer: Well... That was disappointing."
"Sawano: DAMN YOU, LUCIFER!!!"
(Sawano and the others one by one started attacking Lucifer with a planned formation but Lucifer continued to block, counter and attack with minimal effort. Nightwave used his golden katana and relied on his ninjutsu to combat Lucifer but was failing at every attack possible. Noah slammed his hands into the ground and yelled, blasting Lucifer with controlled pillars of ice and kept him frozen right where he stands. With another punch, Noah's ice exploded then spreads chunks of ice across the field and the nearby hills.)
"Noah(Thinking): My ice is useless against him...!"
"Lucifer: Is this the best you all can do...? It seems I don't need my trident then."
(Ankoku's body parts began to regroup by themselves as he was regenerating from Lucifer's attack. Everyone witnessed Ankoku's body complete its regeneration then he repositioned his neck back in place and gave a glare at Lucifer.)
"Oh? Anti-Gods possess regeneration? Quite the interesting detail I was not mentioned."
"Ankoku: You underestimate me, Satan. I've had more ties with your "lord" than you, Sawano or anyone else. I was his STRONGEST disciple.. Yet I was powerful enough to kill him myself. If you think I'm all talk, then allow me to make you a divine offer! Before you try commencing with the main course, why not start with an "appetizer?" The first and strongest of the divine Anti-God race! What do you say..? Devil King..?"
(Lucifer was silent at his words and gave Ankoku his attention.)
"Lucifer: You talk as if you're strong... However, I do not see such evidence myself after killing you with just one punch. Nevertheless, I would see to believe what you've spoken, Ankoku. Prove to me you're worth my time, if you fail.. I will kill you again then harness you and your friends powers as my own and murder your BROTHER!"
