Reality was wiped clean around them as the green haired ઘ̵̝̖͖͔̰̓͐̾́͒o̴̢̼͈̭̙͐͒͗̐̌γ̴̛͖͕̬͙̘͐̓͗͋ swung his gigantic axe down onto the 'dress' of black darkness with red eyes bulging out its cowl like body.

A Japanese sword appeared simultaneously as the axe struck it while breaking the concept of 'distance' itself, getting cut clean in half as it passed through the sword and split in two, the man in green letting go of the axe as it was cut, spinning his body downwards before lifting his leg and delivering a crushing kick to the shadow and lifting himself with his arms as he stood on his hands and began delivering even more strikes to the shadow's red eyes without stop as it tried and failed to push back with his sword, not even being able to swing it with all the kicks being delivered to his 'body'... For a moment.

The shadow exploded into an all covering mass as the green haired man pushed himself off the ground and through the shadow covering for a moment, a golden tri-tipped trident appearing above him before he grabbed it in the middle of the white sky before spinning around and throwing it down into the cloak of shadow that was rapidly taking over the white void with a single soundless roll of his shoulder as a sky of water split through its path.

Shadows consumed it a—

An arc of flames split through the shadows that ate everything inside it.

The green haired boy let go of the golden sword glowing bright in his hands and dashed down into the shadows, a cowl of sapphire blue flames trailing from his shoulders as he broke through the darkness below him with a kick pointed downward while the red eyes all shot up at him from the endless void that was the bottom of its 'body'.

The boy's cowl flew back when a giant black fist collided with his foot, a wave of circular inverted energy exploding from the impact as several more smaller hands reached from the bottom as the darkness fully swallowed the white void, the only thing illuminating it being the boys cowl and the growing root like blue 'crown' that was encircling his head.

Twisting, the boy shot his unextended leg to the side, creating a curve of broken space where he had swung and crushing every shadow in its path as it flew into the darkness, the boy bending his knee and leaping from the giant shadow hand and spinning into a blinding blue distortion in space that began flickering in and out of the darkness while the hands around him… retreated?

A humanoid body shot out from the darkness, covered in red and black and right through the air, spreading into thousands of droplets as it hit the ends of the darkness.

The green haired boy flickered through the darkness, appearing briefly in the reflection of the droplets in a blur as he leaped from one end of the darkness to the other while spinning, creating a bright blue circle of light in the blackness in two seconds before—

A streak of blue smashed into the darkness.

The green haired boy's hair now had blue streaks running throughout it as he split the darkness in half with a sleek red odachi in his hands that was splitting blue flames that it itself was releasing, through the darkness and through the red eyes that it was covering in one slash that created four splits around his falling body that extended beyond the void which exploded into streaking blue flames in a split second as he broke through the red eyes and into a darker than black body that grabbed the katana in its bare hands.

The boy pushed.

The body's head split open into the petals of a certain japanese red flower.

Red eyes replaced the darkness again.

!?

A punch launched the boy into one of the eye—

The black arm belonging to another black body that was about to make contact with his hand split his in two.

Along with its head.

The boy reappeared behind the body, blue flames licking his body as he spun around with his feet and swung again, slicing off the head of another body before slicing downward into another body and pulling the sword up to two more behind him.

Bursts of flames followed his every swing, his last launching him off the ground as a thousand shadow bodies burst forth from the red eyes underneath that had split open from his fast slices.

He spun his entire body horizontally, a ring of fire spreading forth from his swing as the blue filled ring above him began to fall onto the eyes below—

The boy sheathed his odachi into a crack of broken Ƨ̸̡̨̘͎̜̏̍̔͝͝q̷̡̣̖̳̪̌̽̈̽͗ɒ̵̡̡̰̥͍̏̎̽͊̾ɔ̵̺̝̯͖̐͗̒̉͒͜ɘ̴̗̖̭͓̳̏͗̿̀͋

"GNIK FO LOUS¡"

A flash of white flashed through his vision.

*BEEP! BEEP!*

"I'LL KILL YOU IF YOU DON'T WAKE UP!!"

Issei Hyoudou's eyes shot open.

New story, this one actually has some connected plot that I'm still working on.

There are some major changes in the past, the great war and before that but I'm going to be showing the things that changed in the present, mostly Issei still being a pervert but scientific and having an upgrade.

That's it for now, see you whenever I finish the next chapter.
