Demon Sovereignty: Retake Our Freedom

[Era of Demonity] Part 56: The Broken Mask

With hearts as fierce as the fires of Hell, they wielded their powers not for destruction, but to protect the fragile balance of existence. 

These demons, once feared and reviled, became symbols of resilience and redemption. They shattered the stereotypes that bound them and stood as living proof that even the most formidable demons could choose the path of light.

Their existence challenges the very essence of duality, for while they bear the title of demons, they serve the celestial forces of creation and order. In their actions, they blur the lines between good and evil, offering glimpses into the complexity of cosmic design.

Are these demons truly servants of the divine, or do they harbor their own aspirations and desires? Are they instruments of destiny, or do they possess the power to shape it? The answers lie hidden within the cryptic realm of their intentions.

In their mysterious ways, these demons illuminate a profound truth—that even within the realms of the unknown, purpose and meaning may be discovered. The Twelve.

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...

In a cosmic clash of titanic proportions, the battleground reverberated with the ferocity of their power. Shissaki, the God of Death and Life, sought to keep his aura in check, fearing the devastation it could wreak on innocent worlds. The stakes were higher than ever as Ryugan and Azrael, united as one with Kyouakuhan, faced off against one of the cosmos' divine beings and the mightiest force of raw physical strength.

Every movement was a lightning strike, every reaction a cataclysmic eruption. Shissaki could only hold back, for his aura was an indiscriminate destroyer, capable of extinguishing life across several star systems. Frustration boiled within him as he yearned to unleash his full might.

Kyouakuhan's meteor-shattering punches and Azrael's swordplay carved through the very fabric of the universe. Their synchrony was awe-inspiring, mimicking one another's movements with great precision. Yet, Shissaki's defense was tenacious, evading their attacks with ethereal mist figures he summoned from the souls of the departed.

Azrael's persistent strikes passed through the mist figures like phantoms, dealing critical blows that reverberated onto Kyouakuhan. She bore the damage, her resilience twice that of her counterpart, but her determination remained the same.

Meanwhile, Kazayamara and Shissaki engaged in a duel once again. A single, ground-shattering punch from Shissaki sent Ryugan hurtling across the cosmic expanse. The impact of his landing created a chain reaction, smashing through fifty meteorites before he found his footing on a colossal asteroid, his mask cracked and flames engulfing his form.

With the souls of the departed now merged with Shissaki, an air of heightened power surrounded him as he moved to confront Ryugan. Kyouakuhan merged with Azrael and seethed with frustration at Shissaki's departure. "Mocking me?!"

Ryugan, his mask gradually healing, marveled at the remarkable damage Shissaki had inflicted. The God's scythe, a weapon of unimaginable might, had left its mark on Ryugan's mask, which was made out of Ryugan's own aura power.

As the God descended upon his adversary, their clash unleashed a thunderous sonic wave, shaking the cosmic battleground. Ryugan's blade of light, fueled by his aura, managed to disarm Shissaki temporarily, slicing his chest in the process.
