Demon Sovereignty: Retake Our Freedom

[Era of Demonity] Part 52: Bloodied Rose Petals

In the depths of their own darkness, the Seven Sins harness powers that defy the very fabric of creation. Envy, with eyes aflame, conjures illusions that shatter reality itself. Greed's touch transmutes all to riches, turning worlds into gilded treasures. Sloth, the Dreamweaver, bends time and reality with a languid thought.

Wrath's fiery anger burns with the fury of countless Suns, rending space itself with each furious strike. Lust, with seductive grace, commands desires, twisting hearts to its whims. Gluttony, the devourer, swallows all, consuming matter, energy, and souls with an insatiable hunger.

Pride, the fallen angel, stands above all, wielding the powers of creation and destruction, his prideful gaze shaping and unmaking galaxies. These Sins, the architects of chaos, bear powers that can destroy all within.

Colors within the three half-moons on God Demon Power stones; red, blue, and green, represent the main emotions of a God Demon, them being: anger, sadness, and fear, given to them by an angel. In the fourth and fifth one, yellow and orange, dwells the emotions of love and joy, provided by an archangel.

But within the sixth half-moon...

Setsu and Konami sprinted away, leaping nimbly from rock to rock, their mission propelling them forward.  

Lance's eyes snapped up, and he deftly evaded the onslaught of ice crystals. "Konami?! Setsu?!"

Bounding to a safe vantage point, they aimed their weapons at Asher, their voices echoed with urgency. "Hisa sent us here, Sir. Lance!" Setsu yelled above the chaos.

"H—Hisa?!"

"Yes!" Konami confirmed. "He's using his Tenshi to fight Rosen!"

"Excellent! There's hope for us, then!"

Hisa's body was ensnared by the encroaching green vines, transforming the barren meteorite into a lush, verdant paradise.

"What the fuck. Your God Demon powers grant you control over a bit of vegetation? Powers like that... won't be able to compete with mine!"

Hisa's unsettling grin hinted at untapped potential, and he unsheathed his sword, its dark green hue adorned with creeping vines. His eerie smile widened as he pointed his weapon at Rosen, vines draped from blade to hilt.

Without hesitation, Rosen lunged at Hisa, his swords, Rosa and Rusa, swathed in inky black. A lethal slash tore through Hisa, and his body crumpled to the ground.

With his God's Eyes activated, Rosen scanned his surroundings.

Hisa's transformation into grass melded seamlessly with the terrain, making him invisible. Rosen realized this wouldn't be a simple takedown, especially with Hisa harnessing his Tenshi state.

A verdant blade, shrouded in grass, thrust upward behind him. Rosen reacted swiftly, severing the blade and vaulting skyward. "These eyes are wasting my strength away... But without them..."

The grass surged, ensnaring Rosen's legs, but he effortlessly severed the bonds. His thoughts raced as he grappled with Hisa's baffling powers. "God Demons using Tenshi typically unleashes their full aura... Yet I can't sense Hisa's presence... His Tenshi can't merely manipulate grass!"

A vine, severed by Rosen moments ago, transformed into Hisa. In an instant, he appeared before him. Rosen's blades descended like rods of lightning, severing Hisa's right arm into three pieces, but the wound bloomed into a cascade of exquisite rose petals. "Your blades won't cut me, Rosen."
