On the 13th winter, the king has reign.

Beneath the veil of living and the dead, lies his kingdom and his throne.

On the golden throne sits the King who devoured victory.

Lord of the Wild Beasts. Bearer of the Steel. Gatherer of the Sacrifice.

Beware oh benevolent king for thou heart shall sing for the cry for war.

Awaken thy foes once slain, twice denied.

The world remain silent as kingdom rise and fall in a day.

Beware oh Ruler of the Vast for thou shall face the foes that escape Victory.

Prophecy of the Destined End

The Japan's Devil-King, Kusanagi Godou was a 17 years old teenager when he slayed his first god and became the 7th and the youngest Campione up to date. He was never a part of magical life like the other three members of the 'new generation' god-slayers like USA's John Pluto Smith, Italy's Salvatore Doni, or the Britain's Black Prince.

He was called by many as Commoner King, an inadequate ruler that only knows how to slay gods, but never rules his territory. Some even thought of him as the weakest devil-king, but that notion faded after he battled Salvatore Doni, Duke Voban, and her Eminence Luo Hao to a draw.

For the first year the King of Japan was satisfied with not getting heavily involved in politic of the magical world, but after the incident involving himself, Sakvatore Doni, and Madam Aisha, he made his first major decree to his subjects, the Japanese magical community. He has decided to form a private magical organization of his own much like his honored elder sister Luo Hao's Cult of Five mountain or Black Prince's Royal Arsenal. And that this organization will the sole authority of Japan.

Why would the youngest Campione who had never before shown any interest in total power be doing this? The reason for this order was simple…To counteract the upcoming threat known as Devil King Slaying Steel God.

The Strongest Steel God that killed countless Campiones in the past now lay dormant in Japan. And now lesser Steel gods and their comrades seeks to unseal him and challenge the 7 current Campiones.

To stop the likes of those Steel Gods drastic steps must be taken both against them and his fellow Campiones.

Step such as…

(On the day of Announcement)

The Devil King of Japan looked down on his gathered subjects from various Japanese branch of Magical groups. Hos normal docile or gentle look was replaced with hard, glaring gaze with fierce determination and resolve.

He is king and they are his subject. He is one king that no man on earth may obstruct.

He is Campione and he is god among men.

"As of this moment no gods may cross my garden. No King may step a foot in my shore. All those who does…"

He released his potent magical power and brought down all his subjects to their knee.

"Will die…"

And that was 16 years ago.

The danger of the rebelling Steel Gods and the slumbering Strongest Steel caused a great change in the 7th King.

With the help of his 4 Divas, he took steps to control all magical organization in Japan in less than a day. It was brash, it was brutal, and it was inelegant. The way he took over Japan was truly tyrant like and wicked.

All those who took part of his forceful take over will agree that the way Kusanagi Godou acted was heartless and more forceful than any rape.

By day two, with this tittle as Campione he bullied all his subjects into mad frenzy to take control even the non-magical government like the Prime Minster's Cabinet, JSDF, and the DIET as a whole.

On Third day he did the unthinkable by releasing Ten Divine Beasts that represent this Divine authority as the Slayer of Verethragna into the physical world. The Divine monsters roam around the coast of Japan in rotation, keeping any and all magical beings out of Japan. During which the God Slayer was bed ridden, but remain strong as he commanded the entire Japan into his bidding.

On the 4th day he sent out all the Hime-Miko with in Japan with his four Divas in the leasd to construct a powerful Nation-wide Barrier. This Barrier was not meant to alert anyone of danger or even prevent the threats. No…This barrier was to be made with all the intent and purpose to weaken Gods of Steels and hinder them.

How can they do such a thing you may ask?

The answer lies in critical weakness of Steel Deities…Tragic death.

All Steel Gods are Heroes and Heroines. And all those heroes will not die a peaceful death, but tragic and dreadful death. These curse of tragedy ironically originates from the same Mother Earth Goddesses theses Steel Gods slays and take them as their bride. If the Slain Mother Earth reborn as a bride, then what of all their resentment as the Dragon?

Those energy manifests as curse of tragic death and ultimately kills the heroes.

And these curse can only be casted by the fairer gender.

By 5th day Kusanagi Godou recovered from his extremely exhausting use of his Authority and on the 6th day he repelled the rebelling Steel Gods consists of Perseus, Son Goku, Lancelot, Pallas Athena and several minor and subordinate Gods.

The truth of that day is unclear and untold, but it is said that a lone king stood up against the Steels Gods and their comrades at the Sea of West Japan and fought for untold among of hours non-stop.

Truly he cannot be understood by common sense…For that single Campione managed to force them into retreat and even slay several minor gods. How could he have done this is still unknown…For only king may know.

By the night of the 7th day since his announcement to take over Japan for real, he announced what his personal organization will be.

Officially it was to be called…Kaen no Monogatari, the Tale of the Flower Garden. Despite initially being a hatchling organization, due to the hard effort from its founding members the organization quickly took root and spread across the island nation in a blink of an eye and started to reach overseas to expand its influence. The entire organization was commanded by Kusanagi Godou and the power of the group was split into 4 parts according to each ladies of the Four Devas.

First Lady, the famous Great Knight and the current Diavolo Rosso, Erica Blandelli was the leader of the 'Rose' Garden, the section of the organization that was in charge of the politicking and gathering of many 'ladies' that were offered to the Devil-King by various organization to gain favor. These ladies are sisters, daughters or granddaughters of many magical group, families, or organization leaders. They were sent to Japan, hoping to create a bond with the Devil-King like the famous Four Brides, but they failed to capture the king's attention.

However instead of turning them away, the Red Devil had convince her lord to keep them to create a powerful political force and connection. These ladies were not just pretty faces, but all talented women with skills worthy of their family name. Using their connection and wits as her sword, the Red Devil has created a powerful political force that has influence all across the world. It will not be a stretch to say that her group is responsible for the Kaen no Monogatari's foreign influence across the world.

The ladies of the Rose garden were not just bundle of political clout. The mistress of the Rose Garden commanded that these ladies must earn their keeps by working for the 7th God Slayer as maids and servants. While they are all educated ladies of high standing, in front of a Campione or in this case, most trusted and loved one of the said God Slayer, their status is lesser than dogs. Thus they were all convinced to follow her rules hoping to rise among the ranks to become more influential. Let it be said that Erica Blendelli does not shy away from challenge and greatly enjoys cultivating ambitions.

However this caused the rumor that 7th Kings makes all his female offerings as servants and maids to do his bidding to worsen his already rather ill reputation as Womanizing Devil King of the East. Which caused no shortage of headache for the misunderstood God Slayer.

The Second Lady, Mariya Yuri lead the 'Sakura Garden' the section of the group that is entirely consist of Himi-Miko or any maiden Mikos who uses spiritual powers. This too is an all-female group.

Those gathered here are ladies who didn't meet the First Lady's requirement for talent in political field, but has talent in all other spiritual or magical talent. The duties of the ladies of the Sakura Garden are Spiritual Rituals, Sacred Protection, Star Reading, Disaster Purification, and many other use of their power to protect Japan from Supernatural enemies. They are the caretaker of the shrines and temples all over the nation and the caretaker of the spiritual ley line all across the country. It is also their duty to maintain and power barriers and spiritual defense all across heavily populated cities and vital area of Japan.

The Third Lady, Liliana Kranjcar leads the 'Lily Garden' the section of the organization that leads its armed division. This is a mixed gender group that holds honor and duty above all. They are not only consist of mages, but also those who lacks magical power but shows great talent from combat.

Their leader Liliana Kranjcar recruited them from JSDF, various Japanese magic organizations and clans, police force, and even Yakuzas. These men and women are sworn into secrecy and honor bounded to serve in return for steady payment to secure their family from any financial burden.

They are the guards and soldiers using any means available to them to perform their duty. They serve as guards for important political and military figures in public and leaders of magical society in secret. They are protectors all those who reside in the king's palace and they are also the dagger to silence any threats in the dark.

By proudly carrying a sheathed sword on their side and clean cut muddy yellow uniform on their body completely with a kick ass officer hat. They are the recreation of the Imperial Royale Guards of the old days of Japan during the World War II.

The Lily Garden's total arm forces could be said to be enough to bring down a small nation and its existence is a national level secret as it can cause unneeded trouble with non-magical American Government.

The Fourth Lady, Seishuin Ena leads the 'Lotus Garden' the inhuman sect of the Organization. The land of Japan is a land with over ten thousand tales of Demons, Spirits, and Gods. And not all of these creatures are extinct or dormant. By awaking these creatures and binding them as Shikigamis, the King of Japan can command an army of demon without resorting to his Authorities.

Also, not every gods in existence can be a Heretic God. This was especially true for Japan as most gods in Japan are too weak to become one. So when they were forcefully awaken by the Devil-King's call for arms, they were not slain for being related to divine. Instead they work closely with the 'Sakura Garden' to improve the natural ley line and to take care of the nature of Japan and its preservation.

These Demons, lowly gods, and minor spirits are the trump card of Kaen no Monogatari should a battle ever occurs that needs overwhelming magical power. As leader of these army of supernatural, Seishuin Ena with her trusty part-time partner Ame no Murakumo are said to be 'Most Powerful Miko in History of Japan' as no Miko in the past ever was given an army of Demons worthy of Nurarihyon's Hyaki Hyakou.

Location...Netherworld…

Next we will discuss about the HQ of the Kaen no Monogatari. The said headquarter is of course located in the netherworld. Why? Because Japan does not have a free space big enough to fit a fortress that is the headquarter of Kaen no Monogatari.

In the vast space of the Netherworld there are many plains and worlds. It is here where Heretic Gods moves in when they are too tired of their warmongering ways and to retire in. Prime example of such god is Old One of the Japan, Haya Susanoo no Mikoto.

It is also in Netherworld where realms of the fairies exist. Currently the lord and king of the Faes are dead, slain by the Campione of the America, John Pluto Smith. However the Masked Hero has been acting as the head of the Fae Realm and no problem has occurred since then.

In Netherworld also lies homes and realms of other mythical creatures that no longer exist in real world. It was a perfect place for a God Slayer to create a base for his hatchling organization. He decided to name his chunk of the Netherworld as Takama-ga-hara Mark II.

Takama-ga-hara II is a special artificial realm that holds a small continent at least a quarter of Japan's total mass. The realm was made of small fraction of the real Takama-ga-hara that exists within Netherworld and the solid continent was made with clever use of the "Heavenly Reverse Halberd.' Its entire realm is a private part of the netherworld owned and maintained by the Kaen no Monotagari.

But when one think about staying in Netherworld, one remembers the nasty side-effect the air of netherworld effects on human. However remembering its critical fact, Kusanagi Godou and his small army of Mikos created a powerful barrier using several very powerful cores to protect its human habitants from the dangerous effect of the Netherworld and this barrier is said to be strong enough to block a full blunt of a ragging steel god.

Within this artificial realm lies a mountain rivaling the famed Fuji. On top of the mountain stands a castle that was destroyed according to the history…The Azuchi-Jo…The first Azuchi-Jo made under the order of Oda Nobunaga.

While the first Azuchi was burnt down not long after Oda's death by Akichi Mitsuhide during his rebellion, but the ideal, the dream that the castle represented was preserved by powerful magic and its spirit or the echo was left to drift like any other dreams, ideas, knowledge, and truths floating around the Netherworld.

When Kusanagi Godou decided to make a headquarter here in Netherworld, he used the Heavenly Reverse Halberd with his 'Four Devas' the 'Four Heavenly Brides' to make a small scale Japan as the new Takama-ga-hara. Then with the help of his servants, ladies, and helpful hint from the Old One, Susanoo King of Japan gathered the scattered knowledge of Azuchi and recreated the legendary castle on top of the mountain with his mighty power.

The Azuchi was truly ideal castle to make it into his palace for unlike earlier castles and fortresses, Azuchi was not intended to be solely a military structure, cold, dark, and foreboding. Nobunaga intended it as a lavish mansion, which would impress and intimidate his rivals, not only with its defenses, but with its lavish apartments, decorations, and flourishing town and religious life.

Here Godou made not only a fortress to protect himself, but also homes for any mages under his command willing to live on the Takama-ga-hara II to serve him. Much like how Oda Nobunaga intended the open space was soon filled with homes of his servants and their family, new branch office for the History Compilation Committee, and Headquarter for multiple Mage Organization branches that lend him their support like the Black Copper Cross and the Bronze Black Cross found themselves a place to make a home.

The castle was then reinforced with various magical protection to amplify its defense and was rebuilt using powerful materials that resists or repel magic. The entire fortress was built to withstand an attack by Heretic Gods or even Campione to certain level.

So it was here in this fortified and concentrated palace lives Kusanagi Godou the 7th Devil King, the ruler of Japan. And in this very palace, in its very war room an important meeting was underway.

"Preposterous!"

"Insanity!"

"Outrageous I say!"

"This cannot go unpunished!"

"Are you mad? She is a little girl!"

"Are you MAD? She is a threat! She needs to be executed!"

"Where are your loyalty to his majesty? For our lord, you need to be willing to dirty your hands!"

"And as his loyal subject we must advice our lord to proper path! Killing this child is not honorable way!"

"ENOUGH!" shout a woman's voice and the council settled down.

"I had just about enough of your mindless rant. My Godou, your lord has called for your council to aid him to make the proper decision and all you have for show is your kindergarten level maturity! If I wanted to hear ladies bickering I would have stayed in my room!" said Erica Blandelli from her throne next to her lord.

On her left was Liliana and Mariya Yuri sat on the other side of Godou with Seishurin Ena's throne next to her.

This meeting was called to address a very important matter. Not too long ago a high priestess of the Kunjou family had a heart attack in the middle of her nightly meditation. Normally a news that 90 year old Miko having heart failure is a sad, but not an uncommon news. However the reason it is the topic of discussion between the higher-ups of Japanese magic society is because of the last words she spoken.

"A child will be born under the star of great fortune and divine favor. A child destined to mother a king to dominate heaven and earth. A child born under the divine star of maternity and monarch…Beware for she shall determine the fate of all nations under the sun…"

With that ominous words the elder Kunjou passed away.

Elder Kunjou, Kunjou Minako was a famous Astrologist whose talent to read one's fortune and fate using the stars to be deadly accurate. As one of the last remaining Miko during the time of Imperial Japan's Spirit Division and head advisor to History Compilation Committee her warning was considered seriously by its members.

"Regarding the child in question. Did you find out who was born under the said time limit?" asked one of the Section Chief.

"Even before that, has the Spirit Division complied a report regarding the stars elder Kunjou mentioned? The There has to be something more than what she mentioned." Asked another chief.

Current chief of Spirit Division, Momoe Genjuro stepped forward. He then kneed toward his king and pulled out a scroll from his person and held it out.

"This is the full report of the only child born under the time of Star of Divine Blessing and all the other stars it aligned at the time. Around that time there was report of several children being born, however one of them stood out even among the rest." He reported.

One of the servants stepped forward to take the scroll and elegantly walked up to her king and offered it to him. Godou didn't hesitate to take the scroll and whispered a silent thanks.

"…Star Reading report…A child born under Star blessed by Divine Goddess…Fated to reach greatness…" He then slowly read the rest of the content. "A sign of priestess…Magician…Roots from Mother Earth…Human born with fertility blessing…Destined for…Maternity of Divine Monarch?"

This report was ridicules. There is a child born under all these blessing? He seen few mages and witches born under powerful stars. Person like Seishuin Ena was born under Star of Divine Blessing as well and she had signs of Sword and rooted by origin of Storm.

Princess Alice was another person born under lucky star and great blessing, which resulted in her burdening power. So the fact this child was born under star of blessing was nothing too special, but the deciding factor was that her root was Mother Earth Goddess and her symbol seen by the Spirit sight user was 'Maternity of Divine Monarch'…This is a dangerous thing to say. This shown that no, she is not some predestined God-Slayer. However she will one day become the mother to one or someone close to its power.

There were cases where mortal woman given birth to gods before. Greek myth are filled with stories of God King Zeus mating mortal women and their demi-God sons rise to become full gods such as Dionysus or Hero Heracles. But this is most unlikely as Heretic Gods are not true gods and they are not interested in mating with mortals. Only thing Heretic Gods care for is fighting Campiones or throwing tantrum.

So the only definition to this child's fate is…She will one day give birth to a Campione.

This girl is dangerous…Not only is she destined for such great power and honor, but she is also a Japanese citizen. Being one of his subject, Godou has kingly duty to protect her as her lord. However she might one day give birth to a son or daughter that might pose a threat to King of the Rising Sun.

Many of his chief advisors advised him to kill her. If her destiny was discovered by foreign power she can be taken to be used to breed a potential Campione by enemy state. She is a threat to her country in so many ways that it will be easier to simple kill her.

However…Godou couldn't kill her. He has been a Campione for few years and fought dozens of world shattering battles. He slain many gods since he first fought the Victorious War God and done many cruel deeds.

However she is but a child…too young to know…too young to care…

On that day Godou made a choice. It was an unthinkable choice. A decision unlike him and yet very like him to do so. A decision that caused many outcry and many nods of understanding. However no matter the reason none shall challenge the decision of a Camipone. His word is the law and his will is the heaven itself.

So let his will be known…and let his word by heard.

The child in question will learn of this event ten years from now on…On a night she never imagined to be possible.
