Demon Sovereignty: Retake Our Freedom

[Era of Demonity] Part 55: God's Movement

Death is not a farewell, but a reunion with the cosmic symphony. Each soul becomes a note, harmonizing with the universe's eternal song. Their essence, like stardust, weaves into the tapestry of existence, painting constellations of memories that light up the night sky.

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...

The battle raged on as Onyx struggled to control his powers. Fifty percent of his aura had been corrupted, leaving half of his soul in turmoil. He found it increasingly challenging to maintain control, especially when his inner devil reacted to his growing frustration.

"Emperor's Slash!" Setsu and Konami synchronized their sword strikes, landing a powerful combined attack on Asher. Although they severed his arm, it regenerated within seconds.

Atlas, however, noticed something peculiar. All of Asher's wounds had vanished. He was Astrophel Asher, a member of the leading clan in Heaven, the clan of archangels who served directly under Heaven's Celestial God.

The universe operated with a unique system: three Gods—Shissaki, Akshar, and Skylar—stood between Heaven and Hell, but serving Heaven only. Their duty was to prevent demons and God Demons from entering these realms. Heaven rejected them due to their opposing past, and entering Hell would transform them into formidable foes that could challenge the Gods.

Both Heaven and Hell had their rulers, known as Celestial Gods. They aimed to maintain the balance between good and evil, but Hell had declared war on Heaven a long time ago. Hell nearly triumphed due to a creation that shook the entire universe. They created...

"Lance!" Hisa shouted, sensing an attack from Asher.

"I know!" Lance's fist turned red as he shattered the incoming barrage of attacks. Archangel Asher! You... You will be dragged down.

Meanwhile, God Skylar signaled Asher to retreat, and they ran far away. Asher was furious. "What is the meaning of this, God?! We... We could—"

"We can, but that's not why we're retreating."

"What's the reason, then?!"

"God Akshar signaled us. Didn't you notice?"

"Oh! I..."

"Yeah, exactly."

"But why?!"

"Akshar is a powerful being, sensing almost everything. It's like your Tenshi is always active. He sensed the powers of Hell awakening, slowly but surely."

"Damn it... I've tried to kill him so many times! But Ryugan keeps saving him! Hate to admit it, but it's my fault!"

"Why's that?"

"I could have finished him off back then. I... I was just having fun, toying with him."

Suddenly, they saw something plummeting in front of them like a nuke, causing a massive explosion and shrouding the area in smoke.

"What is that aura?! It does not belong to a demon." Skylar backed off, analyzing the situation.

Onyx erupted from the smoke, fury personified, with gnashing teeth and crimson eyes. "SKYLAR!" His voice thundered, deep and menacing. "Your death won't be enough for my thirst!"
