Chapter 281: Culling Games Under the Midnight Sun.

Despite Ezan 's plan holding up, the people of the capital planet were still on the verge of mass panic at seeing the army of mustached savages cut loose. While Sonic, Shadow, and the others were mostly able to keep the Viltrumite's from ripping apart the city. Just one second delay caused a building or ship to fall, and cause the panic to build.

While the grand senate hall that use to have senators from all over the universe, had not had a full meeting in over a century, but it still had some people still taking tours. But when the invasion started the people had taken shelter.

While the defense barrier held, the refugees were on their wits end. Some children and their parents hiding in one of the bunkers nearly all screamed as a blow between Ezan and Omni-Man caused an earthquake.

As Omnimon Merciful Mode took out another Viltrumite, and an explosion followed the Bethel warrior guarding them tried his best to keep them calm.

He was a tall man with a lean muscular build, fair skin, maroon eyes, and long spiky hair with red tips that he kept in a ponytail.

He wore a red haori over a very pale orange-colored nagagi kimono with a black umanori-styled hakama, a pair of zōri with red straps and white tabi socks, with a Nichirin Sword carried at the left side of his waist, conventional to most Bethel Demon Slayers. He sported hanafuda earrings created by his mother as charms when he was thought to be deaf.

He saw everyone's fear and let out a solemn smile." Hang tight everyone. I know it seems dire, but the storm is always most intense before it fades."

One of the young kids gulped before he looked out the window." But, but Master Yoriichi, without the savior and Queen Lacus is there enough hero's to stop the Omni-Man and all the ?"

The old man winced before he took a deep breath." We…we still have warriors of light that can repel evil, the savior taught his students well. Are planet, won't fall to the likes of such savages. We, we just must endure a bit more and, huh?"

Yoriichi widened his eyes as he looked out the window. The children around him looked fearful as a young girl put out," Oh no, is one of the Viltrumite's coming this way?"

"No child…I just felt something I have not felt in a long, long time. The fear of battle must be affecting my senses, making me feel like,"

Suddenly the shelter door was blown open with a strong force. A deep voice cut in with," It would seem your senses have not faltered just yet brother, even if everything else has."

Yoriichi braced himself for a Viltrumite, but was shocked to see none other then the number one Upper Ranked Demon, Kokushibo walk in. The demon with eight eyes was motionless as everyone screamed before Yoriichi raised an eyebrow." Michikatsu…is that really you?"

"I'm Kokushibo now…brother. I'd say you should have known that by now…but clearly you're on the verge of falling apart. Lucky for you, I'm here to bring you mercy, the Shadowlord's mercy.

It's been sixty years…but you still have something to answer for. We are hear for something far more important than the likes of you, but when we heard you were among those stationed here I was personally assigned to right the wrong you did to my master after so many decades. The mistake, will at last be corrected."

Yoriichi took a deep breath before he got into a fighting stance." I knew you ran to Muzan to gain power brother…I just did not think after all these years you would have stayed the same deluded fool."

"Heh…I have changed…in all the right ways brother. But I admit, to fully change, I must kill the part of me from when I was human at last. This old man of battle before me, brittle and past his prime, will learn I will cleave anyone who turns a sword on me and my master.

You had all this time to learn the folly of being devoted to a failed god, and now for spending decades being arrogance, the price will increase with each moment of defiance."

To the demon's shock his brother took a deep breath." My dream was to live a quiet life with my family in a small house where we would sleep side by side. I would be close enough to see the beloved faces of my wife and child and close enough to reach out and take their hands.

That would have been enough. But even that did not come true. Demons exist in this beautiful world. I fought as a warrior of light, to keep that dream alive for the innocent as much as one could in this broken universe. I'll keep fighting for that dream to the end, even against my own foolish brother. And now, let's settle this."

To the demon's shock he felt an impact, and realized in the blink of an eye that despite his age, his brother was able to cut him across his neck. Kokushibo saw Yoriichi looked as still as a statue before his eyes twitched.

His intimidating aura made the air feel heavy…like rocks resting on my shoulders. There was no opening in his stance. The sword technique that he used has the same speed and power as when he was in the prime of his youth!

Damn it, in an instant the memories are vividly returning, the grudge from sixty years ago…jealousy that burns to the bone.

The demon's wound patched up in an instant as he grasped his sword tightly." I hate you brother! You decayed while I surpassed my limits! You can't make a fool out of me!"

"And yet the more you say that, the more a fool you are." Yorrichi uttered." My sympathizes…brother. You were obsessed with power to the point of madness, and what's so tragic is that you forgot what real power is."

"What…the light?" His demonic brother retorted with disgust." Your light has failed this universe, like it failed are family! Master Muzan will be the one to shape the future, and you will die with the last "warriors of light!"

Despite this Kokushibo winced as his brother looked down." No…you will see what true power is in your…last…moments. We are merely one fragment of human kind's long, long history. Be it me, or my comrades, you will learn that lesson before the end."

Kokushibo braced himself as he waited for his brother to attack, till his eye twitched." No…you will all learn the folly of clinging to such worthless virtues! You been working on some" Ultimate attack" to expose me?

Come on, show me so I can show you which is superior! All this time and you really never been envious of anyone Yorrichi!? Anyone who doesn't get jealous of other people is just lucky they have just never met someone…who has gotten god's favor!

Someone intense and vivid who burns everything like the sun…that you just want to put out. Since we were children you always made a fool out of me but after all this time you will see who is inferior! So just bring out your, huh?"

He noticed his brother was not moving at all. He snickered before hissing out," You mock me? If you don't strike then I will kill you!"

Another demon with him, a four-armed muscular werewolf walked up and sniffed the warrior of light before he cleared his throat." Kokushibo…this human is dead."

The multi eyed demon paused before he eyed the Werewolf." Are you sure Volf? This is not some trick?"

"On my title of Invincible Ruler of Storms…your brother has expired. He put all of his willpower in that last attack, the strain killed him before he could even fall."

Kokushibo saw his brother was not breathing, and saw all the civilians were screaming before he looked even angrier." Coward…you dare die while robbing me of the chance to die by my hand!? Why…why do you always make me feel miserable after all this time!? I HATE YOU!"

In an instant he swung his sword like a whip, slicing his brother in half in the blink of a eye. As his brother's severed corpse fell to the ground the upper ranked demon slashed again and again." I can't remember the face of father, mother, or my own wife or children's faces brother, only yours is clear!

You are like the unequaled sun…and all the human beings around you that you were so desperate to protect, have no path other than yearning, reaching out their hands, and writing in agony…until they become ashes. Volf…your free for you and your men to sate yourselves but remember we need enough alive for the part of the operation."

"Understood." Volf uttered as more werewolf's swarmed in. Kokushibo saw the werewolves prepare to devour the humans, till more guards ran in. Volf just licked his lips before he took out a scythe." So fragile…the lot of them. So…SO weak! These humans thought their cage could keep us out, and that their pets could defend them! But they are going to suffer for realizing how weak they truly are!"

He prepared to strike down a young woman, till Kisara ran up and blocked the strike with her shield. The armored woman saw the demon's eyes and narrowed her own." These innocent people are not your feast monster! Flare Demolisher!"

Kokushibo saw the Dahnan knight unleashed her mystic art against the werewolf before he grasped his sword tightly and looked down." There was a time we would not be able to set foot on this land, but even if we can't take this world today, its proof that the will of the angels has eroded to such a pathetic state!

Brother…soon all your comrades will be joining you, and then you can discuss your failures in the afterlife together, till we come to kill your souls to, till every last trace of the" Hero's of light" gets erased! Then…the universe will at last be how it should be!"

He saw a vine coming for him and slashed it before seeing Dohalim glare at him." We refuse to agree that the universe is supposed to be at the mercy of monsters like you! Epochal Severance!"

Kokushibo saw the Mystic Art coming his way and cracked his neck." And you will see that the time were the weak have a say in anything is coming to a end!"

He deflected the incoming magic attack and went to slash another soldier as more and more people died each second.

As brutal as things were getting, things were so intense that most only had time to focus on what was in front of them, including Ezan, Mike, Astra, and the others.

---

Since we last left off Ezan was still matching Omni-Man blow for blow while Thragg was still yelling out after the Tsukuyomi genjutsu had him thinking his previous leader was fighting him.

Mark saw that Omni-Man could not hit Ezan because of his phasing power, but that if he let him go for a second he would try and attack the others, forcing Ezan to make contact with him.

He saw Ezan was able to hold his father back before he winced." I figured only one of the other Nahobino, Thragg, and your old man could push my dad back Mike, but Ezan really is a living legend."

Mike saw Ezan unleash a barrage of different colored dragons at Omni-Man before he tugged his collar." Trust me Mark, even the entire Viltrumite clan can't match Ezan in being a hardcore fighter. Up to your dad if he wants to learn the easy way or the hard way."

Ezan started to push Omni-Man back, causing the mustached man to scream with rage and push the Nu-Epyon back. This just caused the super elite former Enji to sigh." I won't deny you have true warrior instincts Nolan Schillinger. That's why it's a damn shame you're letting them be used so wastefully."

"My duty is to my clan "hero", not for your dead " greater good!"

"I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I may have one been content with being a puppet for others, but I now fight for my own code of beliefs. It's fine to mimic someone you respect, we all do it growing up, but such behavior is merely a process to help one's nature, to something external that's admiral and praiseworthy to you.

If you're not strong enough to take that final step, then for as much as you mock your son Mark, you're just a stunted "Omni-Boy" over someone who has truly matured."

"You have some nerve Ezan Zeon thinking you know what I should be! I am the person that brings glory to my clan and keep them on top of an ever more unstable universe! That's all I need to be, and I'll perform that role, once I kill you!"

He prepared to punch Ezan, till he saw Mike to the right and instantly punched the air in Mike's direction. This caused Ezan to flash step in front of his rival's son and block the impact, before Omni-Man widened his eyes." I have you now!"

He unleashed a barrage of shock-wave punch's, and while Ezan was pushed back a few feet his eyes narrowed." Wrong…the one who's on the verge of checkmate is you. Susanno Reflection Slash!"

Omni-Man's confidence switched in an instant as he saw a sphere of light formed around him. An instant later, sort of dark colored magical glyph shaped like Ezan 's own Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan forming in front of the red katana.

Omni-Man snarled with rage, but before he could do anything a shock-wave of light energy blasted him backwards. An instant later, Ezan was coming at him, slicing at his chest.

As he was hit, the Viltrumite shocked everyone before attacking while being hit, and punching through Ezan!" Not bad…but fate no longer favors you " Enji" God favors us now!"

"No…your fate's now in my hands" Omni-Man." "Ezan uttered casually even as he had a hole through him." That, and the judgment of the Izanami!"

Omni-Man snarled and kicked Ezan, only to find his blow went through him again. He saw Ezan casually get into a battle stance before he raised an eyebrow." Have you lived this whole time being a true ghost? Bah…it still won't stop me from ripping you apart!"

"I'm not a ghost…but I am beyond what your might can overcome Nolan."

He went to attack Omni-Man once more, and his opponent moved out of the way, only to notice his mustache got cut. He shrugged it off before he paused. Wait…he cut that part of my mustache off before. Why…why would he restore that with magic? Huh?"

He looked around and saw that some of the area that was damaged as they fought was just as it was earlier before he paused." What…it's like time rewound. I heard of some going so fast that they went back in time but, not like this. What is this?"

"This…is the result of my magic Nolan."

"The Tsukuyomi you put Thragg under? No…I trained in genjutsu and illusion magic you can't keep me tricked for long!"

"Close, but wrong. It's the Izanami. No matter how hard you punch, you won't escape this samsara, this loop, till you confront the truth of your heart! This spell that decides your fate, that is the Izanami."

Despite Ezan saying this, Omni-Man saw he was replaying the same moves as earlier, and found his own body was stuck in repeat before he yelled out," No…NO! "

"If you want to escape this endless cycle Nolan…you must reexamine your mistakes and confront what you really want! You have to accept how things are, and who you really are!"

"I KNOW WHO I AM! I AM THE ONE WHO WILL SEE ARE PEOPLE GRASP ARE DESTINY!"

While Omni-Man thought he was yelling, he was trapped in his own head, as everyone saw that the top Viltrumite warrior was suddenly motionless. Mark saw his father looked in a trance before he saw Ezan grasping his head, and gulped." What…what the hell happened? Did…you trap him in one of those illusions or, did you kill him?"

"Neither." Ezan uttered as he put his blade down." I cast one of the most advanced spells of the Uchiha clan, the Izanami.

It is a genjutsu which affects the target through physical sensations shared between them and the user to perform the illusion.

The Tsukuyomi alters reality, but Izanami is instead one that "decides" it."

"But if you cast him in an illusion then why did you take so long?" Mike put out, causing Ezan to take a deep breath." To begin the technique, after selecting any arbitrary moment, the caster uses their Sharingan to remember the physical sensations both of their body and that of their opponent's during that instant like a photograph.

The user must then intentionally replicate the same sensation and in the same way, memorize that instant with their Sharingan.

Izanami overlaps and connects these two identical bodily sensations as well as the flow of time between them, creating an infinite loop of events that entraps the opponent's consciousness.

The user can also use their Sharingan to remember multiple sensations, and those sensations will also be used when Izanami is activated.

The user also doesn't need necessarily to replicate A with A' to initiate Izanami. They can also replicate B with B' or C with C' as well. The more sensations they memorize, the better their chances would be to initiate Izanami on a person and the more sensations the victim will experience each time they repeat a loop.

Whilst under the effects of the technique, the target stands motionlessly as the loop of events continually replays inside their mind.

Each time a loop is repeated, any physical damage incurred is reset as it were before the start of the loop, although the remains of severed appendages do not disappear.

The illusion of the user and anyone they were fighting alongside also have any damage reset as well such as the blindness that comes with Izanami.

Despite being able to become consciously aware of their situation and act differently, the victim is unable to significantly alter or escape from the inevitable progression of these events as the illusions they're fighting will also quickly adapt to their changes in order to force the victim to experience the memorized sensations.

However, because this technique was created to reprimand and save the users of Izanagi, the victim can escape the infinite loop if they can acknowledge the real results of their actions and in doing so, accept their fate.

The illusion of the user and anyone they're fighting alongside also repeats their verbal actions, as the illusionary me is doing so now. The illusion of the user will continuously tell the victim to take a closer look at them and acknowledge their mistakes until they do so."

Everyone blinked to make sure that Ezan had nothing else to say till Astra chuckled bitterly." So…you're brainwashing him into what you want eh?"

"No…this is not rewriting the mind, it's forcing his mind to realize something and forcing him to choose what kind of person he really is."

"Why the hell would anyone make a spell that convoluted?"

"Ugh, there was a time earlier in the history of the Uchiha clan that there was a point in time where members of the clan abused the abilities granted by the Sharingan, instead simply casting the technique as a means of escaping the undesirable results of their actions.

Thus, as dōjutsu users were unlikely to succumb to ocular genjutsu, Izanami was created as a method to reprimand such clansmen, as well as save them from their own arrogance.

By imprisoning them within an unalterable loop of events, the victim was forced to accept the reality they had created if they ever wished to escape the illusion. However, because of the dangers involved in using a technique with a built-in escape route in a real battle, Izanami became classed as a kinjutsu.

As such, Izanami is ironically not a genjutsu to be used on an enemy, but on a friend who has lost their way as a means of helping them find themselves again. I admit it's not the spell I normally would use but, I had a lot of time to train over the years.

Normally it destroys the eye of the user but as one who has a Rinnegan, I've evolved past that requirement. With Omni-Man, he's deluded himself so much about his patriotism overriding anything else, that it was for the sake of a "perfect race." There is no "perfect" race, so he must decide what he really wants."

"Why…why are you doing this much for this elitist asshole?"

Ezan paused before he looked around." Like I said…we need as many as we can to win this war across the Multiverse. Perhaps, I was thinking of ways to reach out, because if I thought of them earlier, I could have prevented Doug from doing all this damage.

Either way, I saw that Omni-Man is not like Thragg…he's not acting out of personal ambition but patriotism, however extremely misguided. That's why, its not to late for him."

He saw Thragg was still screaming before he grasped his blade tightly." But for those who have no doubts…no remorse…they are beyond redemption. I'll finish off Thragg and end this. I, huh? Damn."

Just as he moved at the leader of the Viltrumite clan, he saw another group of mustached warriors charging at him and the others. While he easily parried the Viltrumite coming his way, Thula charged in while screaming out," You won't take are leader with cheap tricks Bethel dogs!"

The woman Viltrumite saw Allen the Alien and Thaddeus were already coming for her before her eyes widened." Grand Regent, we won't let them keep you under there control!"

She lashed her long hair out, and threw a potion directly into her leader's mouth before the others could stop her. The moment it went down Thragg's throat, the Tsukuyomi stopped effecting him. He blinked a bit before he looked around, glanced at Ezan, and turned ballistic." You…DAMN YOU! You're going to pay for making a fool out of me Ezan Zeon!"

Thula looked relived at her leader looking alert before she bowed." We came as soon as we could Lord Thragg. With that potion you should regain your immunity to illusions."

Very good Thula…your devotion to the clan is without question. Ezan...that's not going to happen again."

"Your right." Ezan uttered coldly as his aura surged out." Because I had enough of you! Kamui Tachyon Shuriken!"

Thragg saw the shuriken like energy attack roaring to him, winced, and quickly grasped Thula into its path to take the hit for him. As she screamed in pain he shrugged." I'll repay your loyalty by the time your Sleeve copy awakens, that's a promise!"

"Thank you…for the honor my, AHH!"

Thula tried to be agreeable even as she was torn apart, but after a few moments the female Viltrumite could only scream. As the attack vaporized her, Ezan looked in disgust at his reawakened target." You can only abuse your own followers for so long till you can no longer hide from the truth Thragg!"

"Tsc…with all these illusions you're throwing around who's to say what is real "hero"? My men knew your kind's love of tricks because you can't fight like a man! They know…all that matters is smashing you in your place once and for all!"

"No matter how savagely you resist your fate you will, huh?"

The sliver haired man was cut off before he saw an explosion. He realized that the explosion came from where the Hague was before he winced." No…Tanjiro and most of the others in that group where there. Don't tell me they know about the ship? McClane…what's going on?"

"Unclear." Diehard man grimly retorted." We lost contact with the entire hanger bay…something is jamming everything from there. But there are more then Viltrumite hostiles suddenly, now various demons are attacking to!"

"What?" The moment Ezan looked conflicted Thragg attacked him. As Ezan struggled to keep him back the leader of the Viltrumite clan roared out a savage," You dare not take me seriously? That's the problem when you have so many things to care for, and the only thing that matters is putting your head on a pike!"

Ezan glanced behind Thragg and uttered," Astra, Auro! You take as many as you need and see what's going on in the hanger bay!"

"You sure you don't want us to help finish this jackass off?"

"There's no time to waste. Nothing's more important than insuring are path to survival is not sealed off understand? I don't need help finishing the likes of this clown off so do what must be done for the sake of the mission."

Thragg was about to yell in protest, till Ezan swiftly punched him in the throat hard enough for him to cough out blood, before unleashing his Judgment Burst attack to slash all of the enemies at once.

Mike saw how driven Ezan looked before he let out a sheepish grin." Hey, with a look like that I think tis better we don't get in his way girl. Besides…if they really are going after are " other" pals I like are odds better against them then the blowhards here."

Astra saw Ezan and Thragg going at it before she cracked her neck." Fine, rather not feel like a third wheel anyway. Whoever think's they are being a smartass is about to get their ass kicked!"

Tyson caught up to Astra before sighing." You think it's more Viltrumite assholes or something else? Unless something changed these guys putting up a jamming field does not feel right."

"Don't know, but the moment one of these guys raises his fist I'm cutting them down before they, huh? Whoa!"

To everyone's shock a purple energy sphere suddenly roared out at the group. Astra managed to slash the blast into the air, as it exploded a new voice cut in with," Sharp instincts…I suppose this just might match my expectations!"

Astra and everyone else saw Kirinmaru fly up before Astra had her eye twitch." Oh, what the hell is this? The one Viltrumite who wants to stand out wants a piece of me eh?"

"I'm not one of these barbarians Astra Fitter…I'm one of the true masters of this universe, unlike an upstart pretender like you."

Astra paused before she eyed the new enemy and grit her teeth." That scent…you're a demon eh? Great another one of those Upper Moons suck in?"

"I'm no "common" fiend you arrogant abomination!" Kirinmaru uttered as he pointed his Bakuseiken sword at the blond woman." I'm Lord Kirinmaru…the daiyōkai that rules over the eastern sector of the universe's demons! I am to be the true ruler of the new age, not some mistake like you."

Astra saw her new opponent's glare from his skull mask and snickered." Funny…for some lord I sure as hell never heard of yah. What did I blow up a palace of yours during one of my jobs last year? If it was that garbage can of a palace on Varl I'm sure as hell not sorry, those Hutt's were asking for it."

"Oh, it's a far graver crime then that vile woman. Your existence is a very affront to all demons! Kenjaku thinks this is all just a game but letting an impure bastard like you shape the new era will disgrace us all!"

Astra narrowed her eyes before she spat on the ground." So, it's about that huh? Like I told Geto…I did not ask to be part of anyone's game but I'm sick of men like you thinking it's an excuse to trash me! I don't give a damn who you are really…you getting in my way and I'm going through you if your so much of a racist that you're getting in my way now!"

"Heh, normally I only care if someone is weak or strong, but alas there exists a prophecy that a half-demon shall be the one to kill me.

I must find out whether this is true or else my conscience will not be at ease. Regardless, you half-demons should not be allowed to exist in this universe at all."

"Ever hear of a self-fulfilling prophecy jackass? Trying to lure us into some half assed trap is sure as hell going to blow up on your face!"

"Tsc, I let Mahito get us here vie deception because otherwise this fight would not happen. But… trickery doesn't suit my taste."

Mike paused before he tensed up." Wait…that body morphing psychopath is here and he's the one trying to hijack the Hague? Oh hell…what does the Shadowlord want with it?"

Kirinmaru had his purple demon aura explode before he shrugged." Muzan wants to impress this client much more than others but all that matters to me is killing worthy opponents! Don't worry this is no lie.

For an elite daiyōkai such as me, battle is meaningless unless both sides are willing to give their all for victory. Adopting underhanded tactics to win will only leave you empty. Your free to try and save your friends, but if you get in my way I will strike you down."

Astra had her own aura flare up before spitting out," Sure like patting yourself on the back eh goat face? I promise you…I'm too much for your spoiled ass to handle! Shunkō: Raijin Senkei!"

With the roar of a thunderclap Astra flash stepped behind her target and tried to slice him in half. However, to her annoyance Kirinmaru was able to parry the strike. While the blow caused the ground around them to be carved up Kirinmaru did not move an inch.

He saw the anger in her eyes and looked excited." Really that shocked? It's only natural the Heavens and Earth would resound when our blades would cross each other. If your still renounce your demon nature then I'll, huh?"

To his shock Astra's shadow had a spike shoot out that struck his skull mask. He quickly discarded it to the ground before Astra kicked him in the gut.

She tried to slash him again before he blocked it and cracked his neck." I can't deny your demonic heritage with how easily you're in sync with the darkness. But your father may be the devil himself, you're still not able to match the fury of a true demon lord! I'll put you in your place! Blasting Barrage!"

With his free hand Kirinmaru suddenly unleashed a horizontal twister of dark energy to blow Astra to the ground. As she was pinned his aura flared up even more before he slashed his sword and released a large slash of energy that fired multiple powerful blood red energy projectiles.

---

As the blasts rained down on Astra, Tyson winced." Damn it…this dude's not quite as strong as Omni-Man but he's still going to tear things up if we don't shut him down quick! I'll get him from behind before,"

The Black Panther was cut off as an explosion of energy caused all of the Blasting Barrage projectiles to go flying as Astra emerged like a rocket of demonic energy to tackle Kirinmaru.

The blond woman smashed her target into the ground before she glared at the others." Hey we don't have time to mess around. This goat prick is not worth everything going to hell so go after the others while I shut this down!"

Mike saw the wild look in the blond woman's face before he cleared his throat." You sure you got this on your own Astra?"

"Hell yah." She responded as she formed a half-lopped smile." If he's really the strongest then this should not be to hard long as none of you get punked by any more tricks! Just don't drop the ball yah hear me?"

"Got it. Let's go!"

Kirinmaru saw the others go off and merely shrugged." I'm glad you have enough pride to make this a fair fight. Yes. How truly magnificent. I've been waiting my whole life for such a battle and as a reward I'll allow you to die with honor!"

"I don't care what you think is honorable! All of you think you're the "New" and improved demons when your just idiots who need an ass kicking!"

"We will see who is the fool by the end of day half breed. One way or another, this entire universe will see who will dominate the new era!"

Astra just grunted as she pushed harder against the "great demon", making him get more revved up despite the damage he was taking.

While Kirinmaru was giving Astra a fight, with all that was on the line, everyone had faith that the Equalizer knew what she was doing as the group quickly split off to head over back to their other friends, realizing the situation was even more dire than they assumed.

After we left the group off last time the Hague was slowly being dragged out by Tron in her Bruno machine as the demons started to surround the locals. Rattrap saw both Sekido and Karaku expressing different levels of psychotic before the maximal groaned." I heard some of these "underground" demons had a screw loose but come on, freaking growing into two different wackjobs?"

Tanjiro tried to regain his senses after the previous voltage attack before he took a deep breath." The Upper Moon demons seem to be more and more unstable with each member."

"Well if they are really this screwy kid looks like it will just take a swift hard kick and they will break. So just pin these mooks and I'll play my micro sized violin for them after dinner."

Gyokko saw the maximal was pointing at him in the distance before he snickered." Hyo hyo! What a childish provocation! Did you think I, Gyokko, would be undone with such prattle? You seem desperate. It's embarrassing. Just die with,"

Sounds of gunfire cut him off as he found out that while Rattrap was talking his comrade Rhinox snuck around and with Sliverbolt flying him up in the air he blasted at the demon with his chain-guns.

As the demon in the vase fell over the Maximal cracked his neck." Cover fire! THEY need it. WE give it."

As Rattrap smirked, Mahito just yawned as the vase broke." I told you that you make me humble dude! Look I want to have fun to but if we botch this Muzan, Homelander, or whoever he's working for seriously is going to make things a drag so business first then pleasure got it everyone?"

To everyone's dismay Gyokko came out of yet another vase that popped out of the ground before he chuckled." I know what the Shadowlord's will is more than anyone! I just want to show these heathens what they have in store for defying us! You want to see what happened to the last group that thought they could stop us? I present to you, "L'Agonies des Forgerons! Otherwise known as deaththroe of the "Angels."

The demon clapped his hands before another jar popped out of the ground. It was morbid piece made of various mutilated soldiers' bodies stitched together with swords sticking out of them, and the "artist" responsible let out a deranged chuckle as he made a bow." For this piece I used five soldiers at the checkpoint on the way here for lavish, extravagant effect! But that was just the warm up!"

Raymon saw some of the soldiers moan before he had his own energy flare up." I think it's time you got canceled you freak! You may have caught some poor mooks to fall into your vase but we will just break them all!"

The Upper Moon saw Rattrap and others aiming for him before he put up a vase and smirked." Oh don't misunderstand, I force my pieces into my art! Blood Demon Art…Octopus Vase Hell!"

Everyone was shocked as the fourth ranking member of the Twelve Kizuki raised another jar out of his hands, and suddenly had a dozen full sized Octopus tentacles burst out and try to bind everyone in its path.

As Cheetor, Tanjiro, Raymond, and a few of the others tried to slash the sudden new attack as fast as possible Rattrap dodged being blinded and winced." Hey ugly this hanger is a no pool zone!"

"The rat robot is right!" Tanjiro cried out as he slashed an approaching tentacle." This demon seems to have outright magic! But at least since we are not near the ocean, we still have the advantage!"

Mahito snickered before he shrugged." Oh, don't you know how good are little group is at getting things kid? Hey Dagon…looks like this place could use a little remodeling so you're up!"

Everyone tensed up as another one of the demons, one who's shape was reminiscent of an octopus with black dots on the top. He was mostly red, including the outer portions of his arms, thighs, hips, and chest.

The inner sections of those areas of his body were tan. His midsection was black and he had wings on his lower back that allowed him to levitate.

Dagon looked around before his eyes glowed red." Drown remnants of heaven! Domain Expansion…Disaster Tides!"

Everyone tensed up as the fish like demon puffed up like a balloon before unleashing enough water that it was like a damn burst. Raymond winced before stepping back." Oh man this is the worst time to go for a swim."

Mahito saw some in the group fire ice beams to try and freeze the water before he flicked his hair back." Oh, you humans and your toys are so frail its almost a riot seeing you panic. But, better get use to it. The time where your on top has long pass and now all you have left is to run around and squeal like the, oh?"

He saw a flash of light and saw a holy energy beam head his way. As he winced another blast went through his face. While his wound regenerated he still grunted in annoyance as he saw the attack came from Shionne in the distance.

The pink haired woman glared at her target as she recharged her sniper rifle." I'm sick of freaks like you thinking we are just toys for you to play with! We are never being your slaves again!"

Rinwell then ran past her friend before she looked murderously at the demon and had her own energy surge." You think this is a game! I'll never forgive you for what you did to Law so thanks for letting me pay you back! O' fragile radiance... Shine upon the watery abyss! Aquarius...Damnation!"

The mage forged both an orb of Light and Water astral energy. She then used the Water orb to summon a whirlpool that engulfs the entire area as she rides on top of a second spiral that raises her into the sky.

Rinwell used the Light orb to create a lightning bolt that struck the water, causing the water to spout like a geyser.

Mahito saw the Mystic Art counter his minion's own water spell, and found that Dagon had to protect him by having endless swarm of demonic fish burst up to take the lighting bolts heading his way. Mahito rubs the dust out of his eyes and sighed." What's that girl's problem? Got to not be so attached yah know? Ugh, Hantengu, or whatever you call yourself when you go all starfish on me, give us some cover fire ok?"

Sekido and Karaku both nodded before Sekido had his khakkhara staff crackle with lighting. Before he could fire an electrical projectile at the two women, an energy beam suddenly hit his head and severed it.

Karaku turned and avoided having his head being completely severed but still yelled as his head flung to the right side of his body while only hanging on by a thread, but still kept laughing as he saw 9S was the one who fired on him." HAH! This day keeps getting more and more entertaining! I never been hit by an attack that felt like that!

2B quickly burst out to sever the demon's head completely before she kicked it into the wall." You demons may have your quirks, but we adjusted to your pattern like with the last twins. You won't, huh?"

To the two YoRHA agents shock, severing both of their heads at once just caste them to transform into four separate individuals now.

The third one resembled a male harpy with yellow eyes, while the fourth one wore a black kimono and was represented by the color blue.

The harpy like demon instantly extended his wings before he licked his lips." Man Aizetsu…it's been so long since I got split out that this is going to be fun!"

"Don't forget are job Urogi! They are so weak that it's sad…but it will be even sadder to think of what will happen to us if we fail Master Muzan!"

Tanjiro saw all four variations of the Upper Rank demon look around before he grasped his blade tightly." No…this madness has to end!"

He tried to charge at Urogi with his back turned, only for the harpy like demon to suddenly unleash a sonic blast from his mouth.

Grimoire Weiss counter the attack with a red energy lance of his own before he fired more projectiles and yelled out," Careful lad these new demons have a new trick up every limb! We have to be careful or the situation will go to hell in moments!"

"Right! No matter what…I won't let any more innocent lives be lost to these monsters! Hinokami Kagura: Dragon Sun Halo Head Dance!"

As some of the others gave him cover fire, Tanjiro managed to land his attack on three out of the four" Siblings" of the Upper Moon demon, inflicting grievous injuries to each of the three emotion Demons.

Each of the Demons hit by Tanjiro's attack reacted differently: Urogi simply screaming in pain, Karaku panicking over his apparent lack of regeneration, causing Sekido to scream out," Don't panic you simpletons! We are one…no matter what we can never be defeated!"

Mahito saw Grimoire Weiss try to finish Sekido off only to be countered by another magic blast before he eyed the flying book carefully before he chuckled darkly..." Clueless about a lot of things eh Grimoire? Heard you were supposed to be wise but you guys kind of dropped the ball on things eh?"

All of the other demons prepared attacks before the stitch faced fiend snapped his fingers." As champions of humanity, you're going to be the biggest fools of them all not seeing the writing on the wall. You had plenty of second chances but it's time for the fiends to call the shots."

Mahito waved his hand to command the other demons to attack. But before they could a burst of raw mist erupt up to blind them. As Mahito looked around a composed voice uttered," This bastion of light will not be devoured by the likes of fiends like you. I known fiends of much higher caliber personally, and you don't even come close to true elite anything."

Mahito saw that the new spell came from none other than Golbez, who was clad completely in his black armor and had a dragon of shadow fly around him.

The younger demon saw the former master of four different fiends form a large broadsword in thin air before he raised an eyebrow." Ah man, Muzan really has to tell me if he's sending a B team in cause we really need to get down the timing here! You look sharp as hell in the old school style dude but your aim's off!"

"My aim was true fiend." Golbez uttered coldly as lighting crackled around him. "The darkness in my heart led me to unleash worst horrors than a fool like you could even think of. But to atone for that I now fight for the light. Expect no mercy, to destroy you, I shall bring all my might to bear! WITH ABYSSAL DARK AND HERO'S BLADE, I BRING MY PEOPLE LIBERATION! Void Meteor!"

The former pawn of Zemus had a storm of dark energy surge around him before Golbez pointed his blade in the air, and had the energy turn into a giant meteor of darkness that head right for the divided fragments of the upper Four Demon.

Mahito saw them all get vaporized instantly before he licked his lips." Oh, this guy is hardcore all right…I think I'm going to love seeing the shape of your soul. That armor can't stop me from,"

To his shock his feet were starting to freeze as Golbez pointed his blade at the younger demon." I will suffer no obstacles. Evertide Fall!"

Golbez unleashed his own wave of ice, only for a barrage of fish to suddenly burst out to intercept the spell.

The armored man saw Gyokko was the one responsible as the demon with mouths on his eyes licked his lips. "You may be some "Legendary wizard" but your still no match for the wave of the future! Bow to my perfect form of beauty! Your pesky enough to get a " stylish death by suffocation!"

Golbez saw pots surround him before he waved his hand, and all the pots were flung into the nearest wall in an instant.

Mahito saw them all get hit hard enough to be smashed instantly before he chuckled." You want to see legendary power eh? Hey Aki…keep " gramps" busy for a moment while I get the show ready!"

The" Gun Devil" jumped up before firing all of its guns at Golbez. The wizard that was the brother of Enji Cecil Harvey used his magic to freeze the bullets, the magic user had to strain himself as his enemy with firearms as part of his body just unloaded more and more projectiles in all directions.

While he prepared to fire even more, Vincent Valentine flew up from the left and with an enhanced leap shot the demon in the head with his tri-barrel Cerberus gun.

This caused the Gun-Devil to stagger before the former member of the Turks aimed his gun." That's a impressive amount of firepower you amassed demon. Alas… I don't care what you are doing, so much as the idiotic way that you are doing it."

The Gun Devil's wound repaired itself before it snarled." That gun is rather unique…but a good gun on a human has nothing on guns fired by a demon! Draw!"

He instantly bombarded Vincent with bullets before Cloud's former friend could fire back. As Vincent fell on the ground his attacked laughed." I'm a master of pain you relic! You're just a, huh?"

A dark aura erupted out of Vincent, before he transformed. His skin turned green as wings popped out of his back and spikes appeared around his head. Vincent saw the Gun Fiend flinch as he cracked his neck." Pain doesn't hurt if it's all you've ever felt. Now then…who said you were the only demon? Let me show you what a true demon's firearm is corrupt soul."

Vincent had demonic energy turn Cerberus into the Death Penalty energy cannon before the Gun-Devil roared." You still only have one you relic!"

He fired all of his fire arms at Vincent, only for the warrior of light to unleash a massive purple energy blast from his gun that consumed every bullet in its path. Aki only had time to snarl before he was consumed with a blast big enough to vaporize him instantly.

Vincent saw not a trace of his enemy was left before he shrugged." And it's all I need."

He instantly fired another shot at more needle fish coming his way before Gyokko laughed madly." You're all so exotic but you're going to be parts of my masterpiece! Huh?"

He saw the former Enji Zaveid smack back some fish with his chain pendulum 's before he had a wild look in his eyes." Like hell am I going to be in some freak's art project! Even after all of the years, you're on the top ten most ugly hellions with even uglier Malevolence reeking out of yah! Outlaw Barrage!"

He glowed with green with wind energy and ruthlessly barraged his opponent with his wind-infused pendulum strikes. While Gyokko retreated to a further vase another Bethel warrior, a young woman with a tall athletic build that had small golden eyes and long black hair tied into a short ponytail with a katana ran up with a savage grin." You're far too ugly to have any say in what is beautiful demon! But even you won't be able to fool yourself after I give you a taste of Dragon Bone's tip! Tell it how it is Togi!"

Her teammate, a slim man with grey hair and a jacket covering his face ran up before nodding," Sit back Maki. Cursed Speech…explode!"

Togi used his voice based magic to cause all the fish around him to explode, causing the sword woman Maki to run up and slice Gyokko across the cheek. This caused the Upper Moon member to hiss with rage before veins formed on his forehead." Damn wench! I'll show you TRUE ART!"

He burst out of his vase, which bore heavy resemblance to that of a merman. In this state, Gyokko retained his facial features and muscular physique but now possessed a more humanoid body covered in transparent scales akin to a fish.

He also grew much larger, attains longer fish tail-like hair, black markings on various places around his body, webbed hands, and a long serpent-like tail in place of his legs. The transformed demon went to punch Maki, only for Sophie to punch him in the face.

The purple haired Enji from Lhant had her energy surge as she glared at her enemy." The only thing you became is a bigger target! Shadow Movement!"

The woman once known as Protos Heis quickly unleashed her mystic art that unleashed a barrage of lighting fast purple energy infused punches that smashed the demon into the wall.

This caused Gyokko to scream with murderous rage as he punched where the woman was, and turned the object she was touching into a fish before hissing out," NO! Your inferior beings…you are just things for us to tear down! Blood Demon Art…Killer Fish Scales!"

His new scales glowed red as he charged at the female opponents with his new blades. But he gasped in shock as his momentum was suddenly stopped. He saw Kratos Auron was suddenly above the demon before he narrowed his eyes." Feel the pain of those inferior beings…as you burn in hell! Shining Bind!"

The former Enji captain from Meltokio shocked the demon as angel wings came out of him, before he unleashed a powerful holy energy blast that severed Gyokko's head.

As the Upper Rank demon's head fell to the ground he gasped as he saw the Enji looking at him with disdain. "I…I…I got severed? No…the pain of you inferior beings are nothing! No matter what tricks you use your still lowly inferior life forms! I'm…I'm worth a hundred of your kind! I, GAH!"

Raymond kicked his head up before slashing him to ribbons as the captian for the Lawrence Logistics Captain spat out," Just take a hint and die already!

"You first!" The demon tried to have his tongue extend to impale his blonde attacker in the head, only for a energy bullet to hit him. As he blasted apart Shionne reloaded her rifle and rolled her eyes." How about bragging after your enemy is dead eh hot shot?"

"Heh...sorry about that." Raymond answered with a shrug."

"Just don't get cocky, this place is still crawling with demons."

Mahito saw more of his demon comrades being taken down before he ducked as Dagon went flying by and groaned." Damn it I thought the Viltrumite's were supposed to keep everyone busy!?"

He was about to make a move till Mike suddenly shouted out," Looks like you gambled on the wrong bet jackass! And since your gamble was in my house I'm making sure it costs you enough to put you in the red!"

The demon saw Mike, Tyson, and a good chunk of the rest of their group coming before he smirked." Oh hey lanky guy! Good memories last time eh? How nice of you to offer yourself up as an apology! But since I'm in a hurry I'm going to have to make this a rushed job eh?"

"Like hell are we letting psychopaths like you have any more fun asshole!" Tyson hissed out as his aura flared out. Mahito eyed the warrior from Wakanda curiously before he shrugged." Man you know how to bring a crowd dude! But you got it all wrong…we are just doing what it takes to come out on top kitty!"

Folks are such sore losers these days…right Hantengu? How about you show them what happens to those who can't face reality?"

The 4th Upper Moon demon arisen from the shadows next to Mahito in his original frail form, before he grit his teeth." It's so unfair how judgmental these " hero's" are! Since the day I was born I've never lied... not even once! I'm a good-natured weakling! I deserve pity, but no one has any sympathy for me. I'll show you all…how much I hate your judgment! RAHH!"

He absorbed the fragments of his other counterparts before he transformed again into a younger state. He was shorted and muscular with short black hair that spiked up at various angles around his head and narrow gold eyes with the daiji of "Upper Rank" (上弦 Jōgen?) and "Four" (肆 Shi?) engraved into them. He had the kanji for "hatred" etched into his tongue.

He now had a series of drums connected to each other that were inexplicably floating behind his back, with each drum having the kanji of "hatred" displayed on them. He also carried around a bone-like dagger in each hand.

Mahito clapped his hands before he nodded." That's what I'm talking about! Let's see…your name is Zohakuten when you're having this mood swing right? Seriously they are super unfair right?"

Zohakuten banged his drums before his eyes glowed red." Yes…I hate them…so…SO MUCH! You brutal fiends who torment the weak…atrocious…offensive…to the extreme! Damn you awful villains to hell! Blood Demon art…Crazed Cry of Thunderdeath!"

The transformed demon banged his drums hard enough to unleash shock-waves in all directions, while somehow at the same time creating giant wood-based dragon heads that fired beams combined of sound and lighting to blast everyone around him.

Tyson deflected the blast heading his way before he snickered." I'm really not feeling this beat! Think your overdue for a shredding!"

Mike saw Mahito getting closer to the Hague before he grimaced." Hold it man, might as well just bypass the small fry and cut the head off that stitch faced killer over there."

"Always digging busting up the chain of command!"

Mahito saw the two friends still coming for him before he rolled his eyes." I told you I'll get to you later! Hanami…do me a solid and play with them!"

The two saw a new demon jump in front of their target.

He was a large tan cursed demon with black lines running across his entire body had a helmet like head that did not cover his teeth, branches for where the eyes were supposed to be, and two black lines that zig zag down his face.

Underneath the cloth that he wore, his's left arm was entirely black, but the fingers were white while his right fingers were black. He also had a larger flower on his left shoulder.

The one named Hanami wore black baggy pants that was held up with a white sash, and a white cloth that covered his left arm.

Hanami saw Mike and Tyson's anger and hissed out, "You humans will be fertilizer for are new world! Disaster Plants!"

Mahito saw the two avoid spiky branches erupting out of the ground to try and impale them before he laughed." You know, you should be more honest Hanami."

"I don't believe I'm faking anything."

"Guess you're still young so you don't have a taste for it yet. Just saying…you should enjoy the present much more. When I did, before I knew it, I was tricking, deceiving, and murdering, and before I knew it, I felt fulfilled. These" heroes" can judge us all they like, but no one can say anything about an individual's rational. It's just your soul's a little constrained."

"Yes sir…I'm enjoying the fight!" The flower liked demon hissed out as he punched Tyson, and caused flowers to bloom out before the warrior from Wakanda rolled his eyes. "Man you demons sure have some messed up pep talks."

"Hey, like you guys really know what you're talking about?" Mahito uttered with a shrug." After all…don't you ever get tired of all the self-righteous justice spiel?"

"More about the saving lives from suffering at the hands of wack-jobs like you dude!" Mike uttered as he dodged another tree branch. Mahito just closed his eyes." Oh yah? Sure it's not about just feeling good about yourselves?

After all…you all do seem very selective about who you save! I mean…all these folks you failed to save fleeing from another Viltrumite rampage were very pissed off no one saved them when I killed them! But don't take my word for it, see for yourself!"

Mahito snapped his fingers before a few more pods suddenly crashed into the hanger. Moments later dozens of corpses that Mahito mutated with his Idle Transfiguration magic crawled out.

As the Enji hesitated as they wondered if the new enemies were still alive Mahito laughed loudly." Hah, little too late to worry now if you can save the damned heroes!"

Tyson had his aura flare up again before he narrowed his eyes." Yah…Wakanda as a hole really is not big on those who mess with the dead. Your dead freak!"

Hanami roared before licking its lips." ..I need to try... a little harder!"

He had more wood spears burst up but Tyson slashed them in half with his Vibranium kuni before he threw it at Mike. Mike kicked another wooden orb that the demon fired at him back at its sender.

As Hanami smashed his own attack out of the way Tyson stabbed him in the gut. The demon snarled and tried to uppercut the Black Panther out of the way, only for Tyson to suddenly warp to Mike's place using the Flying Thunder God Technique. Just as Hanami realized his target switched places, Mike kicked his target in the head with a Black Flash kick.

As the demon grunted in pain Mike looked determined, as he saw Mahito looked shocked at his resolve." I'm not messing around here! You bet your ass if you try and blow up my home turf I'm not taking it lightly!

All these guys around me have taken down far worst demons then you guys, you bought your own hype and it's too late to back out of the check you have due!"

Mahito snickered before he licked his lips." Guess we will see who's the one with the false hype eh dude?"

Zohakuten was about to attempt to blast the two humans while they were still fighting Hanami, only for a blast from Grimoire Weiss to knock the demon on the wooden construct off balance.

Tanjiro saw the Upper Demon glare at him before he glared back." He's right! You monsters have harmed too many to get away with this! Weiss…give me all the power you have!"

"Just don't lose focus lad!" The talking book replied before he fired a surge of red energy at Tanjiro's sword. The rookie demon slayer then swung his blade down, and had the energy break out into a dozen red energy spears that pinned down the wooden golem that Zohakuten had attacking everyone.

As the upper demon was pinned down he glared at Tanjiro." Damn you! You're unforgivable! I'll, GUH!"

To his shock both Kaine and 2B took advantage of his distraction to slice both his arms and the drum on his back. Kaine saw the demon glance at him before she spat on his face." The thing most unforgivable around here is you being this bad in denial ugly!"

As he tried to attack her, Nezuko ran up and caused pink flames to consume his head. Tanjiro saw his target scream in pain before he grasped his sword tightly." You're finished for sure this time! Atone for your sins!"

Nezuko had her brother's sword be lit by her unique flames, and it allowed him to cut through the last blast of lighting his foe unleashed. Zohakuten felt his head be sliced off…as the others blasted him on all sides before the 4th Upper Moon demon yelled out," BUT I'M INNOC…HRAUH!"

The deranged demon was vaporized before he could even scream. Mahito saw the Hague was still not fully out of the ship before he tugged his collar." Ugh…can't trust gig workers for anything these days."

While the Bruno mech had not fully dragged the ship from another universe out, even with Megaman firing the Shine Laser, Ratchet blasting her with the Ryno, and others like E-Omega, Optimus Primal, many of the Maximal and Section Nine members, Johnny Sliverhand, Billy Butcher, and more were all firing on her, Tron's machine was tanking through all the shots.

Megaman saw the ship where the woman he saw as his sister, if not more nearly get taken out of the hanger, and saw that the Gesellschaft was descending before he tensed up." Stop it Tron! This is not just about someone losing some money! Roll, Barrel, and so many others are going to die!"

Tron just fired another green energy orb at the Digger before yelling out," Don't you get it? All that matters is making sure my family does not die! I worked hard to be smart enough to survive this universe, and I'm not putting aside my genius for some morals that no one cares about! I was smarter than you, and my tech is better than you all so I win!"

She kept everyone off with a barrage of gatling guns on each leg, as well as several grenade launchers on her machine's legs and shoulders. She was about to fire her main Bonnes' cannon beam before a new blast hit her hard enough to knock her off balance before a new male voice cut in with," Bah, you're not bad for an amateur girl but you still are nothing compared to a true master of robotics!"

Tron stabilized the Bruno before she saw Doctor Robotnik fly in in a new Egg Emperor machine he forged, with Doctor Cortex flying next to him. Tron saw the two mad scientists and groaned." What your part of the tech crew or something?"

"Hah, I'm Doctor Ivo Robotnik, the master of robots!"

"Oh yah? I never heard of you!"

"I am the master of the Eggman Empire on Mobius!"

"What's a Mobius?"

"Er…the planet's lost to the Scourge…I been trapped for a while."

"Ugh I don't have time for legit mad scientists having a breakdown! And who are you ugly his assistant!?"

Cortex looked exasperated before he cleared his throat." Hey, we are just fellow um…genius's. I'm more of a bio engineering kind of guy but I worked with N Gin enough to know you seem decent at things. Just seems like you're being strung along. Trust me, happened enough times to me that I know the sighs!"

"What would idiots like you know about how to make it in this universe."

"Well." Robotnik bluntly uttered." For one thing your machine is impressive but your reactor is overclocking girl. The refractor-based generator is not bad but your cannons are just about to blow up in your face."

"Huh? That's so not true! All the systems are green."

"Well if the sensors are overloading then that's just more proof it's about to overheat." Huh? What cannon are you talking about?"

"This."

The Egg Emperor instantly jabbed its sword into her cannon, and unleashed a contained Ion pulse. Tron saw in moments her systems were jamming before she turned pale." No…NO! I can't botch this…I'm at last going to get the motherload!"

Despite her efforts, the Theodore Bruno fell on the ground with a thud. Megaman heard screaming from inside the mecha he saw that only Mahito and a few of the invading demons were left before he took a sigh of relief." Hang in their Roll…we almost are through this."

Mike dodged another strike from Hanima before he kicked the wood using demon into the air, leaving it open for Tyson to hit it in the chest with his Rasengan.

He saw Mahito look annoyed that another member of "his team" fell before he shrugged." You played one nasty hand Mahito…but it's not going to be enough. We are not letting you take home the prize yah hear?"

"Oh? Are you really that hardcore about it that your just going to kill anyone in your way? Tell that to your so called subjects!"

He flicked a small static transfigured human at him. It changed shape into a larger transfigured human with a sharpened head that attempts to stab him. Mike got out of the way, but Mahito got behind him and hissed out," Soul Multiplicity...Body Repel!"

Mike winced as his enemy combined two small transfigured humans' souls, before he unleashed a horde of transfigured flesh shaped into a large monster. The elongated beast attempted to bite and swallow Mike whole with its giant teeth. Tyson slashed it apart before it could get to him before glaring at the demon." Really not chill with how you treat souls dude."

"Oh chill out, I treat the living the same way!" His enemy replied before he transformed his arm into a spiked vine and lashed out to bind the Black Panther's arm. Tyson instantly shredded it with the claws on his arm, and Mahito went around the other side of the Hague. As Mike and Tyson went the other way they saw two Bethal soldiers run up to. Mike saw there confusion before he looked around tensely." Where did the patched face freak go?"

The soldiers looked at each other before the left one said. " I think he went, that way."

As Mike looked behind him Mahito suddenly revealed he was inside the soldier, and came out fist first as his enlarged arm erupted from the civilian's mouth and punched Mike in the face.

Mahito emerged from the man, shedding him like a layer of skin before transfiguring his friend into a sword. He tried to stab Mike but Tyson parried the sword with his Kuni.

Mahito had his left hand morph into a mace before he tried to bash the Black Panther before 2B and some of the others fired a barrage of attacks to keep the demon back.

The man with long blue hair dashed back before he chuckled darkly." Your almost as crafty as me. But the fact is that as long as you refuse to admit you want to win as badly as me, your never going to win. We are all monsters dude...if you can't admit what you are then your just going to die a fool."

He was about to charge again, till he saw a stream of mist like fire surround him. He saw Golbez again, with his summoned Shadow dragon at his side before Golbez had his hands glow with energy." Your carefree ways end here fool. Assume so much about the heart will just make your unraveling all the more painful."

Tanjiro walked up before pointing his sword at the demon as well." He's right! You demons are not going to have your way! This madness is over!"

Mahito had a wild look in his eyes, but before he could retort a new cold voice cut in with," Wrong boy…my era is just getting started."

Everyone was shocked as a flash of blood red light came down from the sky. As everyone was blinded, the temperature in the room dropped down, before Tanjiro suddenly felt an extreme amount of pain coming out of his right shoulder.

As Tanjiro fell to the ground a shock-wave caused everyone to lose their footing.

When Mike regained his balance, he saw Muzan casually standing in front of everyone with Grimoire Noir floating next to him. Tyson saw Muzan's casual appearance before he raised an eyebrow." The hell is this dude? He's pulling off the evil merchant vibe way to strongly." Hold on, I remember seeing a few pictures of him. He's that shadowbroker guy who is trying to play all sides?"

Mike tensed up before he cleared his throat." Damn…more then that man. I think he's the boss of these demons dude…the Shadowlord."

Tanjiro saw his sister growl before he tensed up." You…I remember you! So…you really were what I thought you were this whole time…Muzan Kibutsuji!"

Muzan saw Tanjiro's anger and sighed." To think…if I just waited a little longer…this course correction would not be needed."

Mahito saw Muzan eying everyone around him before he tugged his collar." What's the deal boss man? Thought the whole shadow lord thing was about staying in the shadows right?"

"This is too important to delegate now Mahito. Besides…since this was my own error I wanted to correct it…personally. If I just waited till this Gestalt came back…this matter would have been settled and he would not have taken his sister away from me."

Tanjiro paused before he felt a chill down his spine." Wait…if you waited? That means…that means that…you were there when my family died?"

"Not just there Tanjiro Kamado...I'm the one who killed your family, and made your sister a demon."

Tanjiro seethed with anger as he grasped his sword and used all of his will power to keep his hands steady." How dare you utter murdering my family so casually you monster!"

"Of course I'm reacting casually to it. Do you think your family is the first I killed? Do you think your family's murder is unique in this chaotic universe? All that lives must die. Only feelings are eternal and undying.

That is true. I do not remember a single human being I have killed. Flesh dies and that is the end. However... their feelings passed on and never fell to ruin and have even defeated me. I have witnessed that fact with my own eyes and I was so moved that I trembled, and made sure I would evolve till that feeling would never hit me again."

"I don't care how casual it is for you to kill Muzan! You will pay for taking everything from me on a whim!"

Muzan narrowed his eyes as he glared at Tanjiro hard enough to make the younger man wince." Oh, it was hardly random. It was to secure what was mine to begin with.

Yes, my reunion with my sister would not be denied with anyone. But…if your clueless about that then your" Friends" have left you aimlessly in the dark about what you are, my revolting Gestalt."

Tanjiro just looked on in shock before James came out behind Mike and looked at Muzan with a pained look." Enough Muzan! End this madness now before more suffer needlessly."

Muzan paused at looking at the Holocron, before a smirk came across his lips." James Elrond…so you really do linger on from the grave as a ghost? What a unsightly condition, I'm disgusted to the bottom of my heart. After everything…your attempts at clinging to life are so much more inferior. Is it because of your shame at the extent of your failure? You should be proud, your final mutant will become the ultimate lifeform across the universe.

True, it will be a demon, the sworn enemy of the " Warriors of light" but it just proves how inept you really were. Tanjiro…did this" Master" ever tell you what you and everyone on the world of Endless Illusion really were in the first place? The entire planet is just a lab for Project Gestalt…the desperate project to save humanity from the effects of the Death Stranding, White Chlorination Syndrome, Timefall, the Adolla Burst, and everything else wrong with the universe.

According to the project's parameters, humans would separate their souls from their bodies, reuniting the two only after the universe was "fixed."

The bodies would become "replicants".

The soulless Replicant bodies were created from human genetic data, and their corresponding souls became Gestalts. This process was made possible through the success of the Original Gestalt, me, the first human to keep their sapience intact during the body and soul separation process. Maso collected from the Original Gestalt was thought to be the only way to prevent the Gestalts' deterioration.

Alas an unintended side effect doomed the whole project, cause after the corresponding Gestalt begins to relapse, the body of a Replicant begins to corrupt via the Black Scrawl. The corruption is irreversible and inevitably leads to the Replicant's death.

Of course…for me it all fell apart much faster. You all, the "masters of the universe", were failing to save my ill body, and I was not going to live to see my twentieth birthday. None of your treatments did anything to stop my symptoms from worsening. Death was all you deserved for failing me!"

"But it was going to work Muzan!" James uttered defensively." If you did not get impatient and let the darkness consume you, you would have,"

"SILENCE! I am aware that it was starting to work after I killed the doctor and escaped, and found myself alive, alive, and mutated into a "demon"! I realized my body was suddenly bursting with energy after I took the formula mixed with the Blue Spider lilly, and that I was craving human flesh and blood, and to remedy that, all I had to do was devour humans.

If anyone stands in your way, you eliminate them, that is all there is to it. I had gained neigh eternal power, but the only problem was, it was too late to save the only person I cared about, my dear sister Yonah.

My sister…she was ill like me with the Black Scrawl, and placed into a hibernated sleep. The only way to revive her, was for her to merge with her replicant. And that replicant, is you Nezuko Kamado! You are the vessel for Yonah, and she will awaken to see her brother as the master of this broken universe!"

Nezuko just snarled as flames came out of her hands." You…you're not my brother! I only have one brother still living and you look nothing like him!"

Muzan saw flames come his way before he smirked." Let's say…I change a lot as I mature. Seems everyone has to learn the truth the hard way, eh Noir?"

The flying book around him glowed before unleashing a spark that caused the flames to shatter instantly before Grimoire Noir coldly uttered," She will find enlightenment before the end my master, like everyone else."

Grimoire Weiss eyed the other magical tome before he hissed out," So my fears were not unfounded, and you lost your purpose Noir!"

"I lost my purpose?" The other talking book replied. In an instant he unleashed a burst of lighting that shocked everyone around him, as Weiss yelled out Noir chuckled." It's been a long time Grimoire Weiss. Do you not remember that I am you?"

"What!?"

"Now who's not remembering correctly? We two serve a higher purpose then protecting fools!"

"Enough lies! Stay back!"

"Why do you try and suppress the memory? Do you fear hurting someone close to you?"

"Preposterous!"

"It's your denial that is preposterous! We are mere books created to serve the one who will bring salvation to the universe. And the one who will do that is Muzan Kibutsuji ,the shadowlord! You have no right to forsake him!"

"What!? Utter nonsense!"

"Only because you lost your way. Do you not remember are ultimate goal!?"

"Our…ultimate goal?"

"White and black shawl become one…and liberate the people of the universe from there suffering!"

"Fuse…us? No, I cannot! I will not! Never!"

"Your chance encounter with the boy is destiny, fate for you to lead the Master's Replicant and his sister's replicant back to him! The time has come for us to fulfill are destiny and create a new and perfect universe! We shawl become one, as you and I, as we were made to be."

James saw Weiss slowly float to his counterpart before he winced." No…don't listen to him Weiss! Noir is corrupt, acting on a plan based on fractured data! This would never, GUH!"

Noir had more lighting crackle around James before he snickered." You may be a shadow of are creator, but you are the one corrupted. You will see that this is the only way to truly save this universe Weiss."

Weiss was pulled closer to Noir, before Kaine snarled out," Weiss…you dumbass!"

The floating book glanced at the angry woman before muttering," Ka…nie?"

She just got even more angry as she hissed out," Start making sense you rotten book or you're going to be sorry! Maybe I will rip out your pages one by one! AHH!" Noir had Kanie get shocked harder before he hissed out," We Grimoire's exist to shift the universe to a new and just paradise! We must unite, the universe demands it!"

"Paradise?"

"Yes…and we are so close to realizing it!"

"Don't go Weiss!" Tanjiro cried out." I understand if you regain your memories you might forget me. But…I promise I won't forget you! I'll remember you no matter what. I'll keep the memory of Grimoire Weiss alive forever! And that's not all I'll do…you hear me?"

Weiss was slowing being pulled to Noir as the book aligned to the Shadowlord glowed more before Weiss muttered," White…black…white…black?"

Noir snickered before uttering," Yes! Now we shall be untied under are common purpose! Then the universe can at last see are true purpose! Weiss…at last are…huh?"

To his shock his counterpart unleashed a shock-wave of light that knocked Noir into the air. Tanjiro saw his book shaped ally groaned." For the last time, my name is Grimoire Weiss and it's not to be abbreviated! "

Tanjiro saw Weiss float by him and smirked." So…your, ok?"

"I believe I could ask you the same question lad. Just stay still for a moment."

Noir paused before he sneered out," What nonsense is this? We must,"

"I don't like you and at this rate I never will. I like my companions! Of course most of them are weak and whine when I go away…its almost too much trouble. But they are my friends, and I'll stay by their side forever."

Tanjiro tried to keep calm as he smiled." Weiss…thanks."

Noir had red energy surround him before he looked like a miniature star. He floated above the others before booming out," Are memories…are still there! How dare you ignore them!?"

"Perhaps you should have scribbled them in my margins…hmm Noir?"

"Noir? Address me by my proper name fool!

Muzan took a deep breath before he cracked his neck." It would seem that yet another element of this operation will be resolved with force then. So be it…I did not expect this transaction to be resolved peacefully anyway. Still...a dog who bites every owner he's had can only be disciplined with a firm hand or...put down."

Golbez suddenly floated above the "shadow lord" as his own dark aura flared up." As someone who was consumed with darkness myself, I can see how much you are trapped by hatred. But you will not burn everyone around you in your fury" Shadowlord. Double Meteor!"

Golbez, Vincent, and just about everyone else in the area all fired there attacks at Muzan. But as he did Grimoire Noir suddenly cackled as he opened his book and pages surrounded him and his master.

To everyone's shock, the pages absorbed every single attack as Noir hissed out," You think I would come here if I was just some worthless parrot? All magic, be it light, darkness, and everything in between can be reconfigured by my will or discussed by my Anti-Magic mana zone! What you thought would bring you victory will bring you your doom!"

Noir unleashed another shock-wave, before the ground around the entire area glowed, before blood red crystals erupted first around everyone's feet, and then consumed them. Noir glowed more before uttering," Let this be the final moment of the clowns of the light!"

Noir then unleashed another red energy blast, only for Mike to get in its way. He and Tyson were able to warp out of the crystals using the Black Panther's warp magic, and Mike got in front of the incoming attack before he uttered," No…I'm not letting tacky nuts like you burn everything down! Compound Fracture Flash!"

Mike was nearly pushed out of the hanger, but just as he started to have his hands bleed he converted the attack into a orb, and kicked the configured magic back at Muzan.

The Shadowlord was shocked for a few moments, before he struck the attack with his hand. He was further shocked to see his hand burn and be pushed back a few moments, he then grit his teeth and had his muscles bulge before he smashed the attack into the air.

The projectile blasted through the ceiling, and unleashed a powerful explosion before he grasped his burnt hand tightly." You…your another one who did not meet my first impression. Never the less…it just means I have to not waste time and crush you with more force then I would a bug! Die!"

"I won't let you! Geldschrank!"

Muzan realized the remark came from James before out of the ground a Seele Schneider burst out right out of the ground underneath Muzan. Before he could swat it aside the projectile stopped in mid-air, and surrounded Muzan and Noir a high density barrier of blue magic energy.

The " Demon lord" hissed as he saw he was completely immobilized by the blue barrier before James flew up." Noir can't counter magic that activates past his targeted range. I know because I taught him that spell!

With this customized arrow, everything in its range will have its mana absorbed out of it. Muzan…you turning out this way was a regret I imaged I took to my grave. I wish you could turn you back to a normal, healthy human, but your heart has fully embraced being a true demon.

I can only ensure no one else is harmed because of your delusions."

Muzan chuckled before he moved slowly with each second." Why do you act like I'm a failure "Master" Elrond? I'm your biggest success! I'm the true Homo Superior that makes the likes of Magento and En Sabah Nur look like mere bugs! It took longer then I thought…but I will evolve to become the god of this universe!"

"If you think that then my failure is even greater. I won't deny in my haste to make a breakthrough I ended up rushing things, but I never intended to recreate what I devoted my life to fighting."

"Oh, I know what you intended, but I just have greater ambitions than a coward like you! I'm aware…that in all honestly I and the Twelve Kizuki are not true demons. We don't use much magic beyond are Blood Demon arts.

That's because they are all created by me, and I'm more of a mutant of Krakoa who's mutated X-gene only unleashed its secondary mutation after being on the verge of death. However…I will surpass all of the demons of the past, even the "reformed" relics here. I have mastered the true powers of darkness to prove without a doubt I'll be the true devil!"

"What are you, huh? What the?"

James was shocked to see Muzan slowly take a blood red crystal out of his pocket, before the Enji Master uttered," What…what is that Muzan! Do you know what your doing? No, that…that should be impossible."

"Still remember this eh Master Elrond? I spent years combing over the ruins you and the other warriors of light did not destroy. And after finding some still barely functioning labs in the likes of Valisthea and Dromund Kaas, I found that the former Sithantos agent Xehamaru and former demon lord and CEO of the Vector corporation Xiza kept some very secure research.

I admit…I was worried if I used this in the open it would have brought the "Last Emperor" down on me. But with Ben Auro dead, its clear that the darkness has triumphed over the light! And that's why, I will prove I am the ruler of the darkness, with the mark of the Shin Emperor of all darkness!"

Muzan then slammed the blood red crystal into his forehead, before it fused with his body. His eyes instantly glowed red, before his aura surged with enough force to shatter the Geldschrank spell binding him and Grimoire Noir.

The surge of power blew everyone back, and when Mike got back on his feet he saw Muzan now had a glowing mark on his forehead before he raised a eyebrow." The hell is that? The words from his home world or something? I feel I seen it somewhere."

Vincent got back up, and snarled with disgust." No…he…he did it. That Mike, is the result of one who used the Curse Seal of Necrocalcous Crystal…the dark enchantment magic used by the Order of Sithantos, and the Zannacross Empire! But…without Zannacross they should not be able to work!"

"Oh, the ones I found were inert Vincent Valentine…but I was able to forge new ones based off my power. As a rule a bussinman should not become attached to his own product, but I can't deny the sheer joy of vindication. All the more proof that I'm the successor to Chaos Zannacross Necron! Doug Fitter is just a fool, only someone with the mindset of a ruler should rule the darkness!"

Mike took a deep breath before he chuckled bitterly." Man good thing Astra's fighting your goat pal or you were going to be hardcore wrecked with how pissed off she was going to get " Shadowlord." You sure got a lot of hands in a lot of places Muzan, but you have no idea what's going on. There's so much going on…and by the time you realize how small you are in the face of things its going to be to late."

"Tsc…you think I would have lasted this long if I was blind to things boy? Let me guess…you're referring to Mister V-Day, and the Infinite Victory Corporation that seems to span the multiverse? Oh, I think I have a bigger picture of what they can do then you "heroes". After all…I'm here to take your ship from another universe on there behalf."

Mike turned pale as he felt his legs get weak. He struggled to keep standing before he wiped some sweat off his brow." No…so what Astra was talking about was not just fearing for the worst after all? Sieg…Sieg is back?"

"Not yet…but his…employees have made it quite clear that he will be returning to this universe soon, to see who has value to him. And no matter what…I will make it clear I have value in his organization! I'm not foolish enough to think I can match his power…but no matter what, I will prove that Muzan Kibutsuji is one who is on the side of the winners! But that's why I have no time to waste on the likes of you boy.

I have to present this ship and the information the rebels have to him before his own minions do so, to prove my worth. This universe, if not this entire Multiverse is already in his control, all that's left is to prove who is fit to live in that new order."

"No!" Mike shouted out bitterly. "It's not to late…as powerful as Sieg is, if no one could stop him then this would already be over."

Muzan chuckled before he retorted with," You may have saw a glimpse of his power, but I saw how he grasps victory boy. You already lost, you're just to worthless to be a priority. But, soon even the most deluded will have to face reality."

The Shadowlord was about to move before his watch beeped, and he smirked." In fact…this universe is about to see clearly who the winners are. The Viltrumite were an eyesore, but they have been too primitive to be anything more to me.

But, because they did not see the writing on the wall they annoyed my "current partner" enough to make a example out of them. And now…I believe the entire universe is about to get the message."

Everyone prepared for Muzan to move, till suddenly the monitors in the hanger bay all glowed. While they were playing local emergency transmissions beforehand, in an instant they all suddenly changed, to show the logo for IV&C once more.

Zoth then suddenly popped out before tipping his hat." Heya folks! I know we just talked before but you're in for a special treat because we are giving a second talk today! Better pay attention because this is mighty important! See…there's been some rather rude fellas who have had more then enough chances to be responsible!

These Viltruimte's are huffing and puffing and blowing are houses down because they are acting like they are bigger than they are!

And see we at IV&C don't take kindly to that so we are letting you all see how we teach everyone a lesson! Now I won't be doing that myself but a very good employee of the IV&C will, Mister, or, more like Lord Drakkon! I'm now going to turn it over to him. Back to action!"

Everyone tensed up as they saw the camera show the purple moogle was clearly on some sort of command deck as the view changed to the evil power ranger from another universe.

Drakkon and others that seemed to be his "Drakkon Rangers" all nodded before the Tommy Oliver from another universe chuckled." Hey folks, I know it's been chaotic all over the universe for a long while now but there's a new sheriff in town if you get what I mean. These Viltrumite's sure love breaking stuff so we decided its only fair if we come over to there home world of planet Viltrum and have them see what its like!"

Everyone was shocked to see dozens of Vilrumite's fly to them before there leader raised an eyebrow." Is this a joke? Go back to your stage you faggots before we smash you back to them! Hey Cyril..how about we make a bowl out of this clown's helmet like the last one we found running around? I mean..You don't seriously think your stronger then us right bucket head?"

"Well yah." Drakkon uttered flatly." But today we are going in for the overkill. Much as I would love for punching yah with the red Battle zord I think we need to show just who the top dog is now. Musashi...make sure no one escapes while we teach the lesson eh?"

As the stout man to his side nodded Drakkon made a few dramatic hand gestures." Time you all see what real power is…we need Zeo Zords now!

Okay, Rangers initiate Zeo Getter Emperor Ultra Zord zord assembly now!"

The Viltrumite's snickered and were about to tackle the rangers, till they saw a shadow over them. They froze as they saw giant battle ships in the shapes of animals like a Tiger, a falcon, a dragon, and others were above them before they all growled enough to knock the Viltrumite 's back, and combined together to form a gigantic mecha that was the size of Viltrum's moon.

It had a Tiger's face on its chest, a vizor over its face, spikes on its shoulders, a sabertooth tiger for its left leg, a dragon for its right, and a set of arms that seemed to have become shoulder cannons.

In a instant Darkkon, the other rangers and Zoth instantly warped to this Zeo Getter Emperor Zord's cockpit before the Viltrumite's realized the new mecha blocked out there sun before the leader of the group had his eye twitch." What kind of Gundam is that?"

"It's a zord moron." Drakkon retorted." Might have gone out of style in this universe but we are bringing it back, at least the ones that are merged with Getter power. With the power of the Zeo crystal, the IV&C Zords surpass any other!"

"Its still just a toy you, GUH!"

The lead Viltrumite tried to smash the massive zord, only for Darkkon to have his zord smash the attacker faster then anyone could see. The others saw their comrade get smashed into there very planet before Drakkon snickered." You Viltrumite's may think your tough, but your as puny as basic Putties compared to what the IV&C security force crushes every day! The Viltrumite race here may have drive, but its nothing compared to the drive that fuels the Getter Emperor! You had your chance, but you just don't learn so you're all learning the hard way! Saba...unleash a Zeo Getter Thundernovabolt! HOYA!"

While a few more Viltrumite's tried to attack the massive Megazord, there punch's did not even leave a dent as the member of the IV&C played a tone on his flute, and a massive green beam glowed in the tiger head.

The Zord then started to suck the energy of the near by star into it...and kept drawing power till the sun was wiped out. As the Viltrumite's looked on in shock, the tiger head of the Zord seemed to glow from the star it absorbed.

It almost looked like a miniature galaxy was forming before the Zeo Getter Emperor Zord fired a massive red, green and black energy beam that vaporized the attacking Viltruimte's in a instant, before rocketing right to planet Viltrum.

Dozens of Viltrumite's tried to combined there power to strike the massive projectile back, but they only pushed back the beam for a few seconds before they were all vaporized and the beam hit the planet.

After a flash of light, the home planet of the Viltrumite race, along with its moon was vaporized in seconds.

As the light faded, and it was clear that all the Viltrumite's in the area were erased Drakkon made a victory pose." Yesterday's champions are today's trash."

Zoth could only giggle before he bowed." Aye-yi-yi-yi-yi! That was a Morphinominal Sensation! Kupo! Hope you all enjoyed the show boys and girls! The" Legends" of the past may have failed you but the winners are back to rebrand in a way that will grasp victory in the new Neo, or " Zeo" brand!"

He then began to sing as the Zeo Getter Emperor Zord killed the few Viltrumite's left in the region of space."

The transmission faded, turning back to shocked news casters. Everyone looked at the screen before Mike blinked a few times." No…that…that was real?"

Optimus Primal checked in on the data before he grimaced." The reports are coming in. Its legit, planet Viltrum just got wiped off the universal map. Aside from the Viltrumite 's attacking here and the ones on other planets…the Viltrumite race has just been blasted into the verge of extinction."

Muzan chuckled darkly before he tipped his hat." He really was serious that day. I can't say much about the design approach but…results are all that matter. That's why I will deliver the results needed to keep living!"

As everyone realized just how much the situation escalated, some were taking the news even worst, the Viltrumite 's on the planet.

---

Thragg had been fighting Ezan this whole time, and despite taking a few blows and nearly becoming a burnt corpse of a man he still refused to give Ezan a inch. However, the transmissions went through on that side to, and Thragg saw his planet be wiped out in a matter of minutes.

He was speechless at this, as Ezan saw the transmission to and grasped his sword tightly." Damn it…the alliance as their own Getter Emperor with Ryoma Nagar, but to think they would merge their own Getter Emperor with Zords…they really have no limits."

Thragg had his jaw drop before his eye twitched." No…no…this…this should not be possible! No mere toy could be stronger then are race! There was no way they could hide something like that, anywhere in the universe!"

"Not in this universe Thragg." Ezan answered grimly." But now you're realizing just what the true scope of the powers backing Homelander and the Vought clan are."

Thaedus saw the other Viltrumite 's look horrified before he let out a sorrowful sigh." I wish you did not lead are race over a cliff Thragg. But…you put are entire race behind your ambition! Hear me Viltrumites, it is over! Are planet is gone, and we have no were else to go. Some of us may still hold the worlds we concurred but it won't take long for those who we have made miserable to unite against us! There is nothing left but acceptance, and action."

Thragg roared with primal rage as he glared at the older man. "How dare you act like you speak for us traitor! You have taken it all from us! Are heritage…are home…are history…destroyed! I, and the entire Viltrum tribe will not stand for this!"

"You will do what you will and I am prepared for our wrath. But know this, Thragg, Whatever happens here, you have no empire! For the sake of are people surrender. Only by uniting can we prevent the fate of being the slaves of this demonic company."

Ezan pointed his katana at the leader of the destroyed race before he narrowed his eyes." Your move Thragg. Do you want to have some honor?"

"DAMN YOU! Every true Viltrumite will make everyone pay for this! Its are way!"

Ezan prepared to fight before he heard Omni-Man moan…and sighed." Hopefully…not everyone is as self-absorbed as you."

Mark saw his father look dazed before he gulped." Dad…what…what happened?"

Omni-Man sighed as he grasped his head." Mark…I'm sorry. I…I made so many mistakes. I tried to run for it, but I saw things clearly."

Thragg saw Ezan take a sigh before he grit his teeth." No…what did this sliver brat do to you?"

"I'm centuries older than you Thragg."

"Shut up you act like a brat so you're still a brat!"

Omni-Man sighed as he got up." I had to face what mattered most, and I realized we have taken the wrong path Thragg."

Ezan nodded before he took a sigh of relief." If Nolan could emerge from the Izanami genjutsu it means he re-evaluate himself and his life and came to confront the true nature of his heart."

Thragg grasped his fists so hard that they started to bleed before stomping on the ground so hard that the ground shook." I understand you been…damaged Nolan…but that's no excuse about forgetting who rules!"

"By all accounts Thragg…he is the rightful ruler." Thragg saw this time more of his kind were paying attention before his eye twitched more." No…shut up traitor!"

"You're the traitor! You're the one who hid who Argall's successor was because you really thought you were fit to lead are race! And now our planet is destroyed because of it! We must unite to save what's left everyone! The only thing left is, GURAHH!"

In an instant Thragg burst at the older Viltrumite, and ripped his head off his body. Even as Ezan stabbed through his chest Thragg laughed madly as he looked at the severed head." THE ONLY THINGS LEFT IS REVENGE! You won't be missed traitor!"

As he crushed the Viltrumite that was Ezan's friend's head like a grape Ezan had his aura of light and darkness explode." You are beyond hopeless Thragg! Think over your mistakes in hell!"

"Grieve while you can…you're all next! Nothing will stop me! If I can't rule your all going to be ashes along side me!"

"Enough! Twilight…Omega…huh?"

While Ezan was about to unleash his most powerful energy attack to try and vaporize Thragg, to his shock the Tick suddenly grasped Thragg to try and pull him back. Ezan saw the humanoid tick's pained look and tensed up." No…get out of the way I'll finish him!"

"Its ok lad!" The Tick replied with strain." The Tick's here to cut this murderer's campaign short! You killed enough mister! Don't ever try to swim against the mighty tide of justice!"

"Get your hands off me maggot before I rip them off!

I don't know the meaning of the word 'surrender'. I mean, I know it, I'm not dumb... just not in this context. And I'm not a maggot! I am the wild blue yonder. The front line in a trying, never-ending battle between good and not-so-good."

"I'm going to rip apart every last one of your bones out of you till you shut up!"

As Ezan wondered the best way to help Billy Butcher ran up before he yelled out," Tick! It's time mate! Use that pill and you will have enough" Pep" to put down this bozo down!"

"Thanks friend!" The Tick then swallowed some pill that Billy seemed to have given him over lunch before his body glowed." Alright, this ends now! Nobody mucks around with the Tick's bodily membranes! Prepare for swift Justice! I, huh? Was I supposed to take that Senseu bean with milk? I…don't feel so good."

Ezan eyed the Tick before he eyed the man and widened his eyes with alarm." big bismuth is flowing into his body? No…its going to cause a chemical reaction! Damn it…not enough time. I'm sorry. Shinra Tensei: Seiatsu!"

The sliver haired man used one of the spells exclusive to those who have Rinnegan eyes, Ezan unleashed a massive repulsive force that was strong enough to blast Thragg and the Tick into space.

The Tick saw his body bulging before he looked up." Can't…feel my legs. Arthur…I'm sorry chum…don't think I'll be able to keep my promise. SPOOONN!"

Thragg saw The Tick's body bulge more, and could only yell out," THERE IS NO WAY THAT THE LIKES OF..RAHH!" Before the Tick's body self destructed.

He blew up just as the two were knocked out of the atmosphere, and unleashed a atomic class explosion. Billy laughed madly as he pumped his fist into the air." Now that's how you do it mate! The lummox was able to be worthwhile after all, after I prepped him so he could managed to be, GUH!"

A bolt of lighting hit him as Ezan got right in front of him and put his red katana right to the bearded man's face." I just met you but you have one chance to give me a reason to not terminate you right now."

"Easy mate…we are on the same team!"

"Then why did you drug an ally and turn him into a bomb against his will?"

"C'mon mate, I'm embarrassed for the both of us that you're asking. I heard about how much of a legend you are so I figured you would know the term "Never Go Into Shark-Infested Waters Without Chum". Just had one sup take out another."

"The Tick was an ally! And those who kill their own allies quickly descend into hostiles to me!"

"C'mon with those super eyes of yours should be plain as day that the moron was just a problem so I made him a solution by mixing some Compound V with big bismuth, Eldarium, and a few more things to drug the bozo with my personal cocktale and make a minus be a plus! You really think everyone's going to come out of this as pals?

You're the bloke who's been centuries, figured you're the last one to think we are ending this like a Fairy Tale? Expecting a happy ending, were we? Well, I'm sorry, "mister super elite". It ain't that kind of massage parlor. This is because of all the sups…and it wont' end till they all are as dead as my wife Becca!"

Ezan saw the fanaticalness look in Billy's eyes before he had his magical aura force Billy to his knees." And where does it end Butcher?"

Billy just chuckled darkly before spitting out," Heh…we will cross that bridge when we burn it mate."

"If we burn everything there will be nothing left. If we become the monsters we hate, we already lost."

"C'mon "Hero" word is just about everyone you knew is dead. All that's left is being the last bloke standing. What have you got to lose that you ain't already lost?"

"The fact that you assume that, means you have no idea what's going on beyond your revenge. This entire universe is on the line and success depends on, huh?"

With Thragg gone Ezan at last started to sense Muzan. After sensing the energy of the Cursed Seal Crystal Ben's rival's eyes widened, and only got tenser as he saw the Gesellschaft ship head for the hanger." What…is this a joke? No…that's right by the…damn it all!"

Billy saw Ezan's shock before he snickered." Sounds like things are not going according to plan mate. Trust me…I know how much it blows but got to make the hard calls now "commander". If you have all the power and get caught up in what to do with it, it's useless. With great power comes the absolute certainty that you'll turn into a bloody cunt!

You getting confused because your woman would want you to do something that's nicer eh? I get it, Becca would be pissed off at me to but, the thing is, she's dead! All that matters…is making the assholes that took her from me pay for it! So you want to get anything worthwhile done then take your tongue out of her ass, slap on your big-boy pants and make a god damn decision you arrogant, GUH!"

Ezan instantly smashed Billy to the ground with enough force to knock him out. The sliver haired warrior saw Billy was still breathing before he grasped his fist tightly." My decision is to deal with you later to make sure we still have a universe to pass judgment on you. Everyone, keep this area secure, I'm securing the area no matter what."

He only saw that Omni-Man was not attacking anymore, and that Mark and the others in the area nodded before he flew off to the hanger. He saw that a winged demon and an army of demons was charging for him before the winged demon had lighting crackle around him." You will not interfere with the desire of the shadow lord! You humans have the lifespan of flies.

I have experienced things your feeble minds could never comprehend... the music of the spheres echoing through the cosmos. You... may call me Boltboutamon the master of darkness! And your death will be a work of…art! Lets show them are masterpiece Plutomon! Pernicious Waltz!"

The humanoid demon dog Digimon next to him growled before howling out," Chaos Lights!"

" I don't have time to humor worthless scum…out of my way!"

Ezan cleaved through Boltboutamon 's attack before he could even fully unleash it, and slashed through Plutomon in an instant before he saw a swarm of demons surround him and had his aura explode.

The warrior who has traveled across the Multiverse dispatched countless demons in the blink of an eye, but even more took their place. As Ezan tried to get to the others we turn back to were we left them, as Muzan saw everyone's shocked reaction to the sudden destruction of the enemies that were seem to most of the universe as a unstoppable force he cleared his throat." Well…now that it's been made clear where things stand…its time for this farce to end."

Tyson charged at Muzan, and the shadow lord blocked his strike before the Black Panther hissed out," Yah this sorry ass farce that some pale cracker things he's going to be god was old the moment it started! Huh?"

Muzan narrowed his eyes, before he adopted a more monstrous and battle-esque form, with a dark-red scale-like mass covering most of his body (prominently on his limbs, his forehead, and the entirety of his lower body), featuring sharp-toothed wide mouths all over of his body, and longer pale white hair.

The demon instantly transformed his arms into elongated bladed flesh whips and slashed Tyson through his suit's defenses. Others came to attack him, only for him to grow nine thin extensions, each of four meters in length, akin to spine-like protrusions from his back that extend into bladed whips and lashed at everyone before they had time to react.

Muzan saw Nezuko in the distance and was in front of her before she could blink. He then grasped her by the throat before his eyes widened." I'm not like some of the others, I use the force required to resolve a problem, but I don't let bloodlust get in the way of resolving business. Its time for us to be properly reunited sister."

"No…you're not my brother! The only memories I have of you is that you killed my family! I'll never, GAHH!"

Muzan had blood red lighting discharge into her before he muttered," These memories are of the fake you…the only things that will matter are the memories linked to me. Don't worry Yonah, this fake you will soon be erased and we will at last after all these years finally be where we deserve!"

"Nezuko!" Tanjiro cried out. His sword surged with flames as he uttered," You won't, Nngh!"

Muzan gutted Tanjiro before he could blink, before Grimoire Noir fired another energy blast through Tanjiro's lung.

As the Replicant fell to the ground the book aligned with the demon hissed out," You will understand…in time…where your place was in this scum. Even if it's the next world where you are at peace. No matter how things unfold, it all returns to us. "

"Give…my sister…back."

Muzan narrowed his eyes before hissing out," Your very existence is just to be my placeholder Tanjiro. You can at least die knowing you fulfilled your duty, because everything you have belongs to me."

He was about to slice Tanjiro's head off, till James fired a barrage of energy arrows at him. As Muzan parried the arrows James yelled out," You will never find peace down this path Muzan! You're stealing one thing after another but you can never steal your way to godhood, or find peace!"

"You think you can judge me? A "noble" genius that had everything will never understand... I just want to become myself. In this universe…those without talent are nothing…but those who lack talent can just steal it from those who have it. I was "meant" to die as another worthless nobody, but I refused to accept that fate, and forced myself to evolve to someone that will win in this world. If I have to evolve to the very god of darkness to do that, then so be it."

"Muzan…I loath what you are with every fiber in my being, but I understand you, I understand what it is to not known one's self. I didn't know who or what I was at one point either. But, I had to learn the hard way that to know oneself, is not to achieve everything and become perfect. It is to know what one is and isn't capable of."

"Tsc…you're saying one should acknowledge and give up what one cannot do? Sounds like the philosophy of a loser, of someone just expected to roll over and die!

"No…its to become able to forgive oneself…for the things one cannot do oneself. It's because you cannot do everything yourself, that you have comrades who can help you. And also you should never ignore things one could still accomplish.

If you really want to know what you are…you need to reexamine and acknowledge your true self. Those who cannot acknowledge themselves shall fail…just like I did."

"What do you really think you know about me James Elrond? I have been pursuing who and what I am, in my own way…for my entire life. You're the one who told me when we first met that I was still young, that I merely lacked sufficient intel in which to define myself.

That…if I'm not satisfied with what you had so far…just find other things and add them to yourself from here on out. I took that to heart, I repeatedly experimented on and inspected many things that I've gathered a little at a time, and stored the gained knowledge and abilities within myself. And then, I underwent rebirth, ever evolving, toward a new more perfect me. And I won't let anyone interfere!"

Muzan fired a red energy beam to cut through all the arrows and blast James back before he saw the Gesellschaft land and prepare to tow the still frozen Hague. He saw some Serve bots retrieve Tron's cockpit before he snickered." Well…it seems even third rate scum can be effective when everything is on the line. Now…its time to at least depart the shadows, to take the throne that I belong."

Megaman saw the ship that still had Roll and Barrel inside before he desperately got up and aimed at Muzan." NO! I won't let you take everything away form me!"

The Digger fired his shine laser at Muzan, only for the demon lord to casually jam his whip limb into his attacker's buster. Megaman looked shocked before his target uttered," I can relate, but in the end you're just too weak to hold on to what matters. Die as the fool you are."

Muzan had Megaman's gun arm explode from the jammed buster before he slashed his leg off as he got knocked into the air. As he fell to the ground with a thud he glanced at Mahito." Tell all forces we are retreating."

"Sure thing boss man." The stitched faced demon uttered as he got on the still frozen Hague. As he did he unleashed a red orb into the sky.

Kirinmaru was one of the ones who saw it, and was still fighting Astra all this time before he parried her most recent stab attempt and sighed." Your strength is impressive, but our mind, body, and skill, are all weak cause you deny your true nature woman!

Was the prophecy false? Or perhaps the fact of the matter is that you are not the true hanyōs who are fated to take my life after all! Well, it seems we will have to find out another time. We will finish this during the sunset of humanity Astra Fitter."

The horned demon quickly unleashed a huge demonic fireball at the blond woman. Astra was pushed back a few feet before she exerted her full power and sliced the projectile in half. She knocked some fire off of her before she grit her teeth." Hey all that talk and you're running away like a little, huh? Wait…god damn it!"

She realized how bad things were in the hanger bay and prepared to take off till she saw a burst of light heading there. At the moment Teisel had finished docking the ship from another universe to his own before he wiped the sweat off his brow."

And they all said the Bonne pirates were jokes, but who flew into the capital of the Bethel Kingdom during a battle eh? The motherload is worth paying for a new paint job when this is done! WE almost made it, I, huh? Come on…seriously?"

The space pirate's excitement faded quickly as he saw Ezan burst at him, consumed with a pillar of fire. The man from the Uchiha clan only took a moment to glare at Muzan before declaring," All you amount to…will be ash! Inferno Style…Blaze Release: Kagutsuchi Dragon of the Darkness Flame!"

Muzan widened his eyes as the veteran warrior of light unleashed a massive pillar of black fire at him. The shadow lord narrowed his eyes before his aura exploded and he struck the dragon shaped fire.

His limbs started to burn but he only had a wild look in his eyes as veins formed on his forehead." Your as professional as I heard…Ezan Zeon. But the flames of hell can't destroy its new master!"

"So that's what you think you are? Then I have something just for the "new throne of hell."

Muzan saw Ezan start to form a Judgment Arrow before his eye twitched." Gremory…now would be ideal timing."

The winged demon suddenly appeared out of the shadows behind Muzan, along with a new woman. This other demonic woman was a female of average height having light brown hair and eerily striking clear golden eyes, she wore a blood-colored red overcoat that remained open and exposed her chest and Midriff.

Around her chest she wore black garments around her breast that seems to be materialized greatly around her midriff she has an insignia tattoo above her navel, she wore baggy red pants to match her overcoat and red-heeled shoes.

The new woman bowed before demonic energy seethed out of her," We are ready to warp to Valisthea, Master Muzan."

"Very well Elizébet. Tell the other blood priestess that we have quite a ceremony to begin. There's quite a lot of guests we will have to treat, and no expense will be missed…for my ascension. If we meet again" Hero's", it will be me celebrating the sunset of humanity!"

Gremory and Elizébet expanded their energy to form a portal of darkness around them, that was big enough to fit a spaceship.

Teisel saw the portal and floored the thrusters on his ship, dragging him, Tron, Muzan, Mahito, and the rest of the demons into the portal of darkness. Despite everyone's efforts, the Gesellschaft and the frozen Hague was attached to went through the hole, and it vanished the second after.

Mike saw the ship he spent so much time repairing vanish, with everyone in it before he tripped and fell over his cut leg before he punched the ground." No…it..it can't have all been for this!"

Megaman slowly tried to get up before he cried out in pain." No…Roll…ROLL!"

Tanjiro also tried to get up using his sword as a crutch before he coughed up blood." No…Nezuko! I don't care what anyone says…she's my sister! I have to, GUH!"

As he fell to the ground Astra, along with Mark, X, Sonic and many others arrived before the blond woman saw the ship was gone and spat out," What the hell happened?"

Ezan looked around, and took a deep breath before retorting with a bitter," Its what it looks like Astra. Things went to hell…and to prevent things from going any further into hell we are going to have to make are next move very, very carefully. The fate of the universe, if not the entire multiverse depends on it."

Everyone took a moment to realize just how very close things were, to going over the edge into oblivion.

Authors Notes: Got another stuffed one today but hope it pays off. Volf, and Elizabet are from Ninja Gaiden 2, Yoriichi is from Demon Slayer and Maki and Dagon are from Jujutsu Kaisen.

Boltboutamon and Plutomon are enemies in Digimon survive.

The Izanami genjutsu is from Naruto, it was not the most well liked move but I figured it was a ideal way to have Omni-Man change without being out of nowhere. The Zeo Getter Emperor Zord is a mix of the Getter Emperor from well, Getter Robo, and a combination of all the Megazords Tommy used in Power Rangers.

Getter Emperor is on par with Gurren Lagan in terms of power so, felt like combining that and the zords was a good way to make this Tommy hold up with the upper tiers of power as in Power Rangers Zeo the Zeo crystal was supposed to get stronger and stronger so it's a way to combine those two things.

With Muzan, I know it diverting from Demon Slayer but I kept saying it was a mix of him and the Shadow lord in Neir Replicant, and hopefully adding things like a few ties to X-men is a way for his origins to make sense in a universal society while still feeling enough like" Cannon" Muzan.

And, as much as I liked the Tick, had to show how brutal things were getting, also symbolic to how the Boy's Show came at the expense at the Tick's show getting canceled on Amazon lol.

Know there was a lot going on but hope everyone liked how it unfolded. Thanks for the review so far, if you like what you saw hope to see more and till then till next time.
