Prologue
地獄の門
(Gate of Hell)
In a world where no light could shine, lightning strikes were frequent in these black skies, the wane trees composed of bones could be seen across the landscape, and one of the many irregular columns covered with veins of lava hitting from the ground exploded.
A figure covered in a dark-blue and red hooded-cloak lowered down the hand that had caused a mountain of lava to erupt. "Damn it all!" Said a hollow-looking voice covered behind a mask, a side of the mask represented light and the other side represented darkness. The being rose from a throne made of white thorns and revealed a feminine physique.
Looking down at the multitude she saw a beast similar to a hollow yet completely different to the rest that stood between the crowd of souls beneath the hill of her throne. The beast copied the surroundings to blend in with the others turning its skin black as a shadow. The beast flew up towards the throne, she grabbed the neck stopping the dragon-like hollow, the clash created a shock so intense that the pillars of the surrounding area collapsed leaving the landscape below the throne hill covered in an ocean of lava.
On each side of the throne were two figures disguised with the same colors of cloak and mask. One of them moved and she raised her free hand to tell him to stop, the left sleeve of her cloak was severed, instead, she wore silver armor all the way down to the claw rings that were holding the beast' throat.
The beast opened its mouth widely shooting a blast similar to a black-crimson cero up close. When the smoke cleared her hood was replaced by a high-torn neck and revealing her pixie style hair. When the mask no longer hid her sore face, those around her gazed at the ground, none had dared to look at her crimson eyes except for those who seek death.
"What should we do with this one, Shuren?" One of the four royal guards behind the throne came close to her and knelt before her greatness with a hand in front of his chest. He removed his hood and mask to show his face to her. He dared not defy her at the moment, but it would have been disrespectful not to look at the queen when addressing one of her requests.
She smirked at his challenge, both shared the same face and the same hair color. She only allowed one man to look at her, her brother. "Bring me the Lamp of Souls, my love." She never expressed any emotions toward his past attitude, but she knew that he must hate her deeply.
"As you wish, my Queen." He rose from his posture and moved a hand forward sending a green jet light like that of Fullbring to materialize an ancient lamp. (The lamp looks like the one from the one-shot manga that Shuren had.)
He held the Lamp of Souls by a short chain and brought it closer towards the Queen, Shuren thought about it twice before addressing her sister by name.
"Ririsu ... thousands of souls have been harvested, and yet, no progress has been made-" Ririsu's hand glowed green jet light warping the beast into three small orbs, and offered the beast essence to the lamp.
"I am not disappointed. This outcome is exactly what you predicted, Shuren." She turned around to glance at her kingdom. "Their power could not possibly be sufficient to open the Gates of Hell." Shuren stood beside his sister admiring the scenery; souls burning on an ocean of lava.
It brought a devilish smile to their faces. Even when they hated each other, their love for chaos and destruction unite them.
"The world has changed since our fall from power. Our house may have been cleansed by those treasonous soul reapers but our blood hasn't. Soon will be our time to cleanse the heavens once more. There is a potential Reiō, and he will be the keystone to our freedom." The Queen of Hell walked back to the throne. "I have foreseen it."
She sat on the throne. "Clean this place up for me, Garogai." The biggest of the royal guard members stood out from the rest.
Garogai removed his cloak revealing his grotesque nine feet tall body, his face was hidden by his long spiky reddish blue hair that reached his waist. Garogai was shirtless, wearing black shorts and both his forearms and legs were covered with bandages.
"As you command mother." He moved in a single step appearing next to Shuren. "Move aside, father." Garogai's hand covered twice the size of Shuren's chest when he was push back by his own son. The abomination known as Garogai stretched his muscles and slammed both of his hands together causing a shockwave across the pit; one of the five worlds of Hell. The shockwave had created wave's, tornadoes, tsunamis and the ocean of lava that had covered the world came together into a huge ball of fire in the skies on the other side of the world.
Garogai used a technique similar to flash-step to cover the distance in a matter of seconds and was back by the next step with his creation lifted above his head with a single hand. "Where should I put this, mother?" He was knelt in front of her but dare not look at her eyes directly.
"This place needs a little decoration. Let it be light." She smirked at Shuren but he didn't find the amusement in the words.
"It will be done." Gargorai flew above the acid clouds and launched the ball of fire out of the atmosphere into the space between the dimensions of Hell. The ball of fire now stood as the new sun of the Pit of Hell. Shuren covered his eyes reacting to the light before it blinded his vision.
"Dear Gunjō, I hope you have no problems sharing the sun with your mother's world." She addressed her eldest son. "I am blind, mother."
"Oh, dear. Sometimes I do forget about the small things." This time she addressed Shuren: "You will have to change worlds with our son, brother."
"Fine." Shuren moved his hand in an oval shape creating a green light portal that would lead Gunjō to the first world of hell. "I would gladly change worlds but you know that I was sealed to this piece of rock and I don't possess my full strength yet." She joked, getting nervous. Shuren looked as she held the invisible chains that bound her neck and wrists and pulled them up from the ground.
"Tsk." Shuren expressed watching the different colors that show thousands of sealing spells enhancing her chains to prevent her from escaping Hell.
Shuren had gone to his new world. He left his sister alone with thousands of mortal souls at her mercy. Ririsu devours their souls for fun until their minds were broken, only then could they join the circle of reincarnation. That was the rule of Hell. If you break, you lose.
Shuren was sitting on a huge stone structure on top of a hill that stood out from the rest of the black desert made from the ashes of all the souls that reincarnated in torture.
In the center was the skull of a Kushanāda one of the warriors of the army of hell who served no one. Many say that they were the old lords of hell, the Titans, but now they are the ones who choose which souls should be brought to hell and which are released into the circle of reincarnation.
"Who is that?" Shuren gazed upon a pair of black wings attached to a slender figure, with his bare chest patterned and a Hollow hole dripping black, blood-like liquid. His waist covered in black fur, covering both of his arms and legs.
Shuren saw that the pair of yellow irises were staring at him. The Hollow had black tear-like marks under his eyes, but the Hollow had no mask, instead, two large horns were grown of his head. Then he spoke. "I found it, the heart of hell."
