Darkest Emperor Alpha then calls his three closest advisors, Dark Queen Lilith, Dark King Mordecai, and Dark Lord Lothar, to him on the Shadow Planet for a very special meeting.
"My dear advisors," the Darkest Emperor Alpha says, his voice echoing through the vast chamber of the Shadow Throne, "we find ourselves at a pivotal moment in the history of our great empire. The time has come for us to expand our reach and claim what is rightfully ours. The mortal realms are in turmoil, and it is our duty to bring order to the chaos."
The three then speak in unison, "But how?"
Darkest Emperor Alpha then continues, "Each of you must reach your full potential, by ending some unfinished business within your pasts, each of you, what is the most major unfinished business from within your past?" Darkest Emperor Alpha then demands to know.
Dark Queen Lilith then speaks up first, "Simply to control the Kingdom of Scotland and expand it to control the British Isles is all."
Then Dark King Mordecai spoke next, "To control the USA and reunite with my three greatest minions, I have already reunited with The Lich King, Geralt, but that still leaves The Demon Lord, Legion, and The Vampire Queen, Isolde."
Then Dark Lord Lothar spoke last, "To control Europe and to defeat the Storm Dragon, now the Storm Leviathan."
And then all three speak up again at once, "And to directly get revenge on the God Emperors!"
Darkest Emperor Alpha then seems to ponder for an instant, "We will start with yours Lilith, then yours Mordecai, then yours Lothar, and finally we will all get a chance to directly get revenge on the God Emperors afterwards, now each of you, head to Planet Earth to accomplish your goals individually." Darkest Emperor Alpha finishes speaking.
(POV Switches to directly that of Dark Queen Lilith)
Dark Queen Lilith then heads to Planet Earth then down onto Scotland specifically and, after one quick spell, the Kingdom of Scotland is restored, allowing her to then move onto the next part of her plan/mission.
Once Lilith has her sights set on the British Isles, she starts her conquest by building a powerful shadowy fortress in the Highlands of Scotland. This fortress, known as the Fortress of Eternal Night, serves as her base of operations. From here, she begins to spread her influence throughout the land, turning the once-verdant hills into a realm of eternal twilight.
As Dark Queen Lilith begins her conquest of Britain, she encounters unexpected resistance from a newly formed coalition of supernatural beings, led by the legendary Merlin the Wizard.
Dark Queen Lilith knows that he was previously involved in a God Emperor Ritual knows to be cautious, due to God Emperor Rituals massively empowering their participants.
Merlin, a master of ancient lore and powerful sorcery, has gathered an assembly of mythical creatures and powerful mages to stand against the encroaching shadow. His coalition includes the likes of the fearsome Berserker King, the enigmatic Lady of the Lake, and the cunning Queen Mab of the Fairies. Together, they form an alliance of light and magic to counter Lilith's dark ambitions.
But, Dark Queen Lilith must have really underestimated her own power, as she is then able to casually defeat Merlin, the Berserker King, the Lady of the Lake, and Queen Mab, and their armies single handedly and without very much effort at all.
After her victory, she is now free to continue with her plan of expanding her realm across the British Isles. Her first order of business is to conquer England, which she does rather easily, thanks to the combined might of her shadowy forces and her own overwhelming power.
Then, Ireland willingly lets itself be absorbed, probably scared of facing her wrath, as then, she, after the True Kingdom of Scotland is formed, officially has a crowning ceremony for herself, at which, once the crown is placed upon her head, she can feel her power growing immensely, as her unfinished business has been completed, and her full potential has been unleashed, and she is now no longer, Dark Queen Lilith, but, like Darkest Emperor Alpha, she is now Darkest Queen Lilith.
(POV Switches to following Dark King Mordecai)
Dark King Mordecai then arrives on earth and in the still not fully united USA, and then, in a single afternoon, conquers and unites the whole thing, completing the lesser and easier of his two goals, now he must find both The Vampire Queen, Isolde, and The Demon Lord, Legion.
The newly formed alliance of Earth's supernatural leaders, led by Merlin's reincarnation, surprises the Shadowstein forces with a daring counterattack, revealing hidden depths of unity and strength in the face of imminent darkness.
Dark King Mordecai then shoots one charged attack at them and then there is nothing left of the alliance, and Dark King Mordecai can get back to actually important things, like finding The Demon Lord, Legion, and The Vampire Queen, Isolde.
A prophecy emerges foretelling a final battle between the Shadow Emperor Alpha and a mysterious "Savior of Light," throwing the fate of the cosmos into uncertainty.
But a simple look at the future reveals this to only be prophesizing the near future one-sided beat down between Darkest Emperor Alpha and God Emperor Marcus Aurelius, who, while he will be stronger than he had ever been previously, Darkest Emperor Alpha could still completely destroy him with a single blow if he so chose to.
Meanwhile Shadow King Mordecai continues his search.
Dark King Mordecai, now in control of the USA, begins his search for The Demon Lord, Legion, and The Vampire Queen, Isolde. His shadowy spies spread throughout the land, seeking any sign of their whereabouts. It is through these spies that he learns of an underground society of supernatural beings that have been living in the shadows, hidden from the mortal world.
Amongst them, he finds The Demon Lord, Legion, and The Vampire Queen, Isolde, his old allies from back when he was The Shadow King, and also The Storm Leviathan, who he randomly advises to go to Europe, and, The Storm Leviathan, while confused, obliges, flying off faster than the return stroke of a lightning bolt.
Dark King Mordecai approaches Legion, who is now the ruler of the underground society. A tense standoff ensues as Legion is wary of his former master's intentions. Mordecai, however, is persuasive and reminds Legion of their shared past and the promise of power and unity that a reunion would bring. After much deliberation, Legion agrees to join forces once again, seeing the potential to expand their influence over the mortal realm.
Then Dark King Mordecai approaches Isolde, but then, a fight breaks out between them, as Isolde, always the fastest, quickly attempts to strike him, but, well, he is shocked at how he is seeing her moving pretty much in slow motion from his perspective, if, at all.
Mordecai, having anticipated this, had already cast a spell that paralyzed her, leaving her no option but to listen to his proposal. He promises her dominion over the night, and in exchange, he expects her full cooperation and loyalty.
Eventually Isolde gives in, and then, Mordecai can feel his power massively growing, as he has completed his unfinished business, and thus, his potential has been unleashed, no, he is no longer Dark King Mordecai, he is, like Darkest Emperor Alpha, now Darkest King Mordecai.
(The POV then changes to following Dark Lord Lothar)
Dark Lord Lothar arrives on Earth and specifically in Europe, and quickly conquers all of Europe aside from the British Isles that his ally already controls, and decides to wait for The Storm Leviathan to come to him, and, then, gets bored waiting, and decides to do something else he's always wanted to do, and, to pass the time, he conquers the entire continent of Africa, and then by the time he arrives back in Europe, The Storm Leviathan arrives in Europe as well.
The Storm Leviathan, feeling a sudden surge of power from the advice of Darkest King Mordecai, lands with a tremor that could be felt from England to Spain, and Lothar can feel his presence immediately.
Dark Lord Lothar then immediately arrives at the scene, and declares, "Storm Dragon! Or should I call you as you identify now and truly are, Storm Leviathan, I am Dark Lord Lothar, formerly The Dark Lord, formerly The Last Champion, formerly even before that Emperor Marcus of Sanctity, and I have come for a rematch! Now, foul yet intelligent beast, respond to me!" Dark Lord Lothar declares loudly as he grips his sword, repaired by and infused with darkness and still coursing with the electrical magic from the charged attack from the Storm Dragon itself that originally shattered it, tightly in his hand.
The Storm Leviathan, once in a weakened state known as the Storm Dragon, recognizes Lothar, and as an immensely intelligent being capable of speech, decides to accept the challenge, and engage in pre-battle banter, confident in it's victory, as, it has grown far stronger since it regained it's full power and even since it was a key part of the God Emperor Ritual of God Emperor Aldric.
The Leviathan roars back, "Ah, Lothar, the once-champion, now a pawn of the one who seeks to bring about the end of days. You dare to challenge me again? I shall show you the true power of the skies!"
Dark Lord Lothar then grips his sword even more tightly, "I do not serve the man, merely work alongside him, and he seeks not to bring about the end of days, but rather to change Existence itself fundamentally for purely the better, and, I have gotten far stronger myself, so, don't be so cocky, creature, but enough talk, HAVE AT THEE!" Dark Lord Lothar screams out those last three words.
The Storm Leviathan's eyes narrow, sensing the power surging through Lothar. It spreads its mighty wings and charges at the Dark Lord with lightning crackling around its form. Lothar, with surprising agility for his size, sidesteps the creature's advance and slices through one of the wings with his shadow-infused blade, causing the creature to roar in pain and fury.
The Storm Leviathan then begins to control the storms themselves and to shoot lightning and even breathe lightning and entire storms at Dark Lord Lothar.
Dark Lord Lothar, however, remains unfazed. He focuses on dodging the creature's attacks and slowly whittling away at its remaining wings. With each strike of his sword, the shadow energy infused into it seems to eat away at the Storm Leviathan's resilience.
The Storm Leviathan then decides to resort to the old reliable tactic of the charged attack, after all, it was what defeated this very same opponent previously, and Dark Lord Lothar just lets him charge it, as the Storm Leviathan then begins to charge the attack, an enormous ball of pure electrical magic, electricity, lightning, lightning magic, storms, storm magic, and even just plain magic and energy, concentrating all of the storms around the planet into the attack, once comparable to a Hypernova or a Gamma Ray Burst even.
And Dark Lord Lothar still just stands there, waiting and prepared for the attack to be fully charged and unleashed.
As the Storm Leviathan charges up its most powerful attack, the very air around it crackles with electricity, and the ground beneath its colossal form quakes with anticipation. The creature's eyes glow with a malevolent light, and its roar echoes through the skies, shaking the very foundations of the world. The Dark Council, watching from afar, exchanges worried glances, knowing that if this attack connects, it could mean the end of Lothar and a significant setback for the Shadow Empire.
The attack is fully charged and then unleashed and the enormous ball of pure electrical magic, electricity, lightning, lightning magic, storms, storm magic, and even just plain magic and energy is launched at him, and then, much like he did over 281 years prior, he began to clash with the blast with his sword, last time this happened, his sword was shattered and he was killed, but this time, he is able to begin to push back against the blast with his sword.
He then begins to charge a similar blast from his sword, using the dark energy and magic within it and the electrical magic and energy left within it from when it was shattered by this very attack the last time and begins to charge up an attack just like the one he is clashing with right now within his sword.
The Storm Leviathan is shocked, "B-but, how!? Last time your sword was shattered by this very attack, and how are you seemingly charging it up yourself within your blade!?"
Dark Lord Lothar then unleashes his charged attack into the Storm Leviathan's not only enhancing the power to the point that it could destroy an entire galaxy, and not only reversing the direction of it, but greatly increasing the speed as well, to now easily thousands of times the speed of light, and sending it right back at the Storm Leviathan.
The creature roars in fury and shock, as it tries to dodge or counter the attack, but the speed and power are too great. The blast hits the Leviathan with a deafening boom, sending it hurtling through the skies of the conquered lands. The impact causes a series of explosions that light up the night, and the earth shakes violently beneath the tremors.
The Storm Leviathan is alive, and not quite defeated, then, in the blink of an eye, Dark Lord Lothar appears in front of it in a flash and drives his sword into its chest, gaining energy from it, leaving the Storm Leviathan now defeated, but still alive.
The land is scarred and the air filled with dust as the debris settles. The once-mighty creature lies on the ground, its form weakened and defeated. Lothar, standing tall and unyielding, pulls his sword from the creature's chest and declares victory. His eyes glow with the power of the Leviathan, and his form seems to expand with newfound might.
He has now ascended from being Dark Lord Lothar, to now being Darkest Lord Lothar, and then, he makes another unexpected move, he unleashes a wave of darkness upon the Storm Leviathan, which heals and recovers and restores the beast while imbuing it with the power of darkness and shadows, exactly like The Shadow King did to him after his defeat against the Storm Dragon, then he begins speaking, "Mighty beast, you have proven yourself as a worthy opponent and one whose power doesn't deserve to be wasted, I now dub you, "The Dark Leviathan"." Darkest Lord Lothar says.
The Storm Leviathan, now reborn as The Dark Leviathan, roars in approval and bows before Darkest Lord Lothar, as its form is transformed further, becoming even larger and more powerful, its wings now tipped with razor-sharp talons of darkness, its body covered in midnight scales that shimmer with malevolent energy. It rises to its full height, towering over the defeated armies below, as the newly dubbed Dark Leviathan, a force of destruction and shadow that will serve Darkest Lord Lothar loyally.
Then, the Dark Ones, now the Darkest Ones, return to the Shadow Planet, now accompanied by The Dark Leviathan.
