*With Oryx*

Standing outside within the yard of the gremory household the taken King stared upon the night sky as he was waiting for the feedback which his servant would bring him but as he continued to wait he heard footsteps approaching from behind turning around he expected to see his mother but instead he saw Ravel.

"Ravel, what are you doing out this late?"

The girl said nothing, instead she walked over and sat down next to Oryx as she held her legs close to her chest. "Akuma, how do you deal with people that you hate?"

".…… Ravel why are you asking me this?" '....  its probably about Riser but better get as much out of this as I possibly can.'

"Akuma can you just answer my question, what do you, or how do you deal with people who you hate."

".... Well most people would say to deal with them in a non violent way but the main question is what has this person done to you?"

"..... Made my life a living hell, made it to where I'm forced to follow ever choose he makes, and made me practically invisible to everyone."

"So riser has gone and made you practically into a slave."

"...... Yes he really has, even a whole back he always treated me this way, constantly bashing me in and making it abundantly clear that I was nothing,  but ever sense you defeated him he went mad, he was way more angry and when my parents tried to calm him down he would lash out at them, but after some time he began to take his anger out on me because we in his own words "have a connection"....... "My parents tho, never seemed to notice, they where always focused on Riser, and they have began to neglect my very exsitence. And I'm sick of it, I'm sick and tired of being treated like this, I'm sick and tired of devils being how they are, I wish things could change but that is nothing more than a foolish pipe dream of mine, devil will always be devils, power hungry, prideful and arrogant." She was slowly starting to let out all the negative emotions she has accumulated over the time sense Oryx destroyed riser, and was it definitely showing.

Her eyes where dull and had almost no life to them, her hands where balled up into fist that where white thanks to how hard she was squeezing them, and lastly her aura was very dark, why darker then usual.

Oryx looked at this and gave an answer based on all his experience as the God King of the Hive.

"Then for you Ravel, I will tell you this. Grow stronger and kill riser."

"Kill him?" Ravel didn't even fazed about what he said. "That would work but how and how would I grow stronger then him?"

"Growing stronger wouldn't be a problem." Ravel looked at him confused but that changed when she saw his eyes turn form red to a blazing green. "Ravel Phoenix, let me ask you a question, to you wish for the universe and by proxy the devil society to continue to beat you down, or do you wish to rise up and crush it under boot?"

Ravel stopped she looked at Akuma with those glowing eyes and felt.... Nothing, she didn't feel fear in the slightest instead a wanting for those same eyes, Oryx seeing this smiled, that look she has was the excite same that his sister Xivu Arath had when they where before the worm gods and as they excepted there pact.

"Akuma, of course I do. I'm done being controlled by others, I'm done being neglect and forgotten by others and I'm sick and tired of living in a world which constantly beats me down, so what do I do? How do I grow stronger to fight this world?"

"First you will have to stop calling me Akuma." The Hive in devil skin smiled as a portal opened below them and in a flash they here within a world of Darkness, the sky was eliminated with a sinister green as a massive black and green sun was within the sky.

"What is this place?" Asked Ravel, who stood within the strange new world unafraid.

"This ravel, is the power at which I can offer you, to break free of the bonds between life and death and transcend into a being who's very exsitence scars the universe."

Hearing this demonic voice behind her she quickly turned around and came before a a Demon God.

This being stood 25 feet, his massive intimidating figure caused Ravel to shiver with a slight bit of fear, but as she stared at the god she soon smiled.

"So this is your ture form huh Akuma. Figured, I now you weren't a devil."

"So you knew and let you still asked of me?"

"Yes, but can we get on track, you said I'm not supposed to call you Akuma then what is your name?"

"My name is Oryx, I am the taken King and one of the three hive gods who brought about the species known as the hive."

"What?" That's all she could say, she knew he wasn't a devil but she didn't think he was a GOD!!!

"Shocking I now, but over time you will get used to it. Now for why I have brought you to my world, you see under normal circumstances you would have already been erased from creation by merely entering my world but I have allowed you audience with me so I can ask this." He extended his massive hand out as within a piece which looked like an evil piece appeared but it was darker and more sinister. "As I was offered a pact I shall offer the same to you, Ravel Phoenix will you except this and become one of my Court members? With the acceptance of this pack you'll be granted immortality much stronger than your Phoenix blood, then power which will allow you to conquer entire worlds if you dedicate yourself to it long enough. So" the piece shined a blazing green "will you except and become something greater?"

"Oryx..... Why do this for my?"

"..... Your eyes remind me of my sister Xivu Arath, you two also shared much in common, fearless and not afraid of anything, but same as her the universe pushed her down against the ground and was grinding her to dust, but she never gave up, she pushed back and eventually shatter the very laws of the universe and made it known that she wasn't weak, you two are the same always finding a way to crush the thing that is trying to take away your place within the universe, and as such I shall offer the pact that she will offer to see if it is true."

"If what is true?"

"To see if you have the capabilities to become anything like her."

Ravel stopped as she went into thought, Aku- Oryx was offering something that she could only imagine in her widest dreams, and as she looked around the world which belonged to the king she couldn't help but say that this was definitely tempting, maybe it was her devil nature but having something like this would be handy, then there was what he said, become truly immortal and be unbounded from life and death, and able to conquer entire worlds.

'Then again this comes down to a simple choice, reject this amazing gift and go to a household which doesn't acknowledge your existence or join Oryx the only being who has shown any form of compassion to me....'

She took a step forward, seeing this Oryx grinned as the piece floated towards her and stopped right against her chest.

"Ravel Phoenix, shall you except this pact you shall become a being which is not a devil, you shall become something more and if you dedicate yourself to our teachings shall aquire great power, but you shall serve me as a member of my court for the rest of eternity. If not you shall have your memory's of this wiped a-"

"I except, no need to tell me what would happen if I don't except because I already do except."

"Then welcome to the blood of Oryx, my court."

The piece went within her as a massive pulse of every rushed through her very being, she felt her body pulsing as her was undergoing changes, her eyes where begining to bleed into a blazing green, she felt the very core of her being being set ablaze as she was overcame with an overwhelming rush of power, a rush so strong that she lost consciousness and fell down.

Oryx was watching her fall and as she was able to go slam upon the ground his hand extended out and she was caught by his hand. Oryx then set her down upon the ground as she was going to need time, because u like Artoria who could handle that added energy Ravel was weaker and couldn't meaning her body shut down and wouldn't begin moving for some time until the energy and power of the hive piece fully merged with her.

Though there where immediate changes, sense he used a bishop price which was mainly tailored to magic the amount of mana she had also increased, tho sense she was weaker the piece had more of an impact on the amount she was augmented by, he noticed that her mana had increased over ten times it's normal amount, which this confused him because his first servant only had a five times increase to the normal piece original attribute and then a three times increase to all the others, but this was giving her a ten times.

"It could be that she has a gift for magic, and increasing ones mana supply is easier than increasing ones physical speed, so putting this together, the piece had drawn out more of her latent potential? Or is it because she's weaker then Artoria that she was given more, sense the prices can only augment a being based on the level there where before the piece was inserted into them."

Oryx would have to find out more in the future as for now he was receiving a message from Artoria, so he answered.

'Arotora what is it?'

' My king I have eradicated a base of unwanted flys.'

' And what else?'

'My king, what if I told you, you could get an extremely powerful Shinto deity as one of your servants?'

' I would say you need to return and give a report.'

'As you wish me king.'

The two cut off as the king teleported to the base where Artoria waited with a devilish smile.

"Alright Artoria what do you mean? I thought the Shinto Gods where now against us?"

"Not all of them, there are two main powerful Shinto gods their names are Izanami and Izanagi, but Izanagi is of little importance as of now the one who wishes to join us is Izanami the Shinto mother deity and the one who represents creation and death. I met her on my last journey when I killed every inhabitants of the base she appeared before me in an astral body she told me she would serve you for eternity if you freed her from her from a place called Yomi, she's imprisoned there as she ate the fruit which grows there and is bound to it. She says if you free her all her knowledge and her loyalty will forever belong to you.

"Then take me to where she was sent to this prison."

"Very well I shall show you to where Izanagi went into Yomi." Spoke the voice of a woman behind them as they turned and saw the astral body of Izanami.

"So your the one that wishes to be free and in return become my servant?"

"That's is correct hive god Oryx, tho I must say I was expecting your form to be more intimidating but you're just an adorable little b-"

*CRUSH!*

Without warning a massive amount of pressure slammed upon the room as the eyes of the king transforms into a blinding green. Izanami even tho she was within in astral form and a head deity could not withstand the pressure and fell upon her knees, even Artoria who is powerful enough to fight the dragon of dreams and the ouroboros dragon was barely able to breathe.

"Do not, call me that." Spoke the king in a calm but deadly tone.

"Al-alright." The pressure subsided and they where allowed to breath. "Now back on track I will transport you to the location where the portal was open there you can break the dimensional fabric and enter this world but I will warn you there will be complications."

"Nothing we can't handle."

"Alright."

She formed a portal below them as they where brought to an open plan which seemed to be hidden from the world, and there Infront of them was a slight crack in reality, as an evil essence was leaking from it, oryx seeing this walked forward but as he did from the ground shadow like hands launched up to grab him but with one quick slice from his hand they where blasted away, now with the nuisance done with he stood before the crack as he raised his hand and brought it down with his energy coating his arm as the dimensional fabric of the world shattered before him and a gateway into Yomi opened.

"Let's go Artoria."

She nodded her head and entered.

*Within Yomi*

The duo emerged within a dark World filled to the brim with death, there eyes scanned the surrounding world as they could feel a sentience coming from it almost as if the very world was alive.

But the duo did not fear if anything the world quivered at their presence as they continued their march towards where their newest comrade.

No matter what the world threw at them will break her broke every beings connection to life killing everything that it's blade came across. Eventually they continue to follow the trail of energy which was starting to get stronger as they approach eventually entering into a cavern, and when they emerge there was a tree and there resting at the bottom of the tree was Izanami, still bound to the land with what appeared to be chains.

"Ow... You arrived." Spoke Izanami, she looked over that them and noticed the blood which drilled from there weapons.

"Yes, as I said this world wouldn't be able to handle us." Spoke Oryx, and true to his word they couldn't handle them, nothing in this world was strong enough to kill them, after all there just spirits of the Dead which found themselves within this death ridden world, there power couldn't compare to Artoria's and was nowhere near Oryx's.

"And right you are..... Now free me."

Oryx looked down at the chains and raised his hand as a green aura surrounded him which took the form of a massive worm like creature.

"I shall invoke the name of the killer of Truth, Akka my God who's powers reside within me, theses chains which bind Izanami are a truth, now they shall become a lie."

The worn roared into the sky as the world was bathed in a dense green glow, Izanami slowly began to feel the a weight which bind her to this world slowly started to become lighter before that weight disappeared and the chains shattered into pieces as they dissolved into a black essence.

Izanami stood up and could feel the influence of Yomi leaving, her form returned to that of her beautiful goddess form and she looked upon the hive God and the astral worm which stood behind him.

"H-how? I knew you would accomplish your goals but.... how could you accomplish this so easily?"

"This is the power of the worm my God, as I would already guess you know I am not of this world and as such my powers are far beyond the understanding of anything in this universe but during my time back in my original universe I slayed one of the Gods who gave me and my sister the great gift I have now, and took from my fallen god the power to communicate to the purest form of Darkness which we called deep And also the power to turn truth into lies. The power I demonstrated was the power to turn truths to lies, I shattered the very axion of Truth, erasing what I wished from creation. Essentially it was as if you never ate the fruit in the first place."

"Such power.... To think that the very law of Truth could so shattered so easily before your might.... Very well, since you have freed me I am now bounded to you." She bowed to him as the kings green eyes looked upon her bowing form. "Ow great King of The hive. And soon to be most powerful of creation."

"Enough with these formalities, rise." She did as she was told in a rose before the taken King, who summoned a knight piece.

"Now with this you shall forever serve me."

He pressed the piece against her form as it went within her being and he same thing which happened to both Artoria and Ravel happened, a massive amount of power begin to pump through her very veins, she could feel her strength rising to unimaginable levels and after minutes she began to feel this Rush finally died down actually collapsed upon one knee but upon her eyes opening they began to shine a deep green, much the same as Artoria's.

"Now, you have become a member of the blood of Oryx, my court, welcome Izanami."

She said nothing for words cannot express how grateful she was, continue to bow before the king but that all ended when the world started to shake.

"Demon!! Who are you and why have you freed Izanami from me!!"

"So you revealed yourself at last, being who resides within this world."

From the darkness all around the world a massive Beast formed comprised of death and rot this hulking abomination stood before the group.

"You!" It crouched down and looked upon the king who stood in front of the group. "Will pay for you transgression!!"

The Beast charged and as the two knights prepared for battle one of them much more the king simply raised his hand as he started to walk forward.

"Pay for my transgressions?" He was consumed in darkness as when she emerged he stood before the Beast standing in his true form.

"You foolsih being, you cannot even lay a single scratch upon my being."

From his back his massive Crimson Wings spread out before launching him from the ground, the two girls could barely withstand the shockwave as they watched their King fly towards the monster at unimaginable speeds and when the Beast went to strike the king simply vanished from creation itself the monster looked around trying to find him but without warning a fist slammed into it's chest sending it flying from the ground and into the air, where there oryx would wait. As it came closer he would lift his sword into the air as a generated a massive typhoon of the power of destruction.

The blast slammed into one of the beast arms slicing it off completely as it was send back into the ground, oryx observe the situation a bit longer when he noticed that the arm which was severed was now moving on its own and had to reconnected itself to it.

"So it's capable of self regeneration."

"You bastard, what even are you no mortal or God should be able to harm me I am the very law of Yomi the nature and concept of this world, how are you able to inflict harm upon me?"

"Simple, because unlike these gods or mortals I'm a being who stands above them on a higher pedestal, you can't be harmed by them but you can be harmed by me because I am able to break your very laws and concepts, now stand back up."

' I can afford to Rush In all of them so long as I am within this world I'm able to continuously regenerate myself this battle will be a contest of stamina. I need to Pace myself.'

The beast now fully regenerated and on its feet stood before the king who floated in the air, their eyes narrowing at each other neither one of them getting closer.

"Very well if you won't come to me." In a fraction of a second he appeared behind the monsters head.

' What the!? How quick is this guy!'

"I'll just come to you." And just like before he fired off another massive wave of energy from his blade luckily the Beast was able to bring up its arms once again to try and fend off the assaulting attack, but it sent him flying, luckily he was able to stick the landing, unfortunately as he tried to lock on to the king he was unable to locate him until a staggering amount of force slammed into his chin causing his head to shoot up into the air, his neck felt like it almost snapped under the pressure. But the taken king wasn't going to stop his advance appearing right in front of his face he brought his blade down upon his skull slicing right through, as this happened he would form a chain made from the power of Destruction and wrap it around it's throat. Grabbing ahold of it he lifted him off the ground before repeatedly slamming it's now split in half head upon the ground over and over and over again, before he spun him around and threw him through the sky.

Its head would now come together only to once again see the king dropping from the sky and slamming his foot directly into the Beast gut causing blood to erupt from his mouth almost like a volcano erupting lava, the king and then piledrived the massive creature into the ground causing a mighty crater to form, though thanks to all the smoke the Beast was able to get one surprise attack in launching the taken King off of him but causing him no damage.

' D-damnit... If this goes on any longer i'-'

*ROOOOOOOOAAAAARRRRRR!!!!*

{Just make it red.}

A massive dragon formed within the sky made out of the power of Destruction, the king of the taken simply stood there within the air his wings expanded wide, his right hand was held within the sky commanding the Beast would soon feast upon his flesh.

' SHIT!!' the monster of Yomi opened its mouth as it began to channel The souls of the deceased which were within the world, forming a massive ball of energy, unfortunately...

The king sicked the beast of energy upon him as it roared in all it's fury, upon making contact its massive Jaws clamped on it's throat before detonating with a force which would make any nuke look like a firecracker.

The duo who was simply watching the king battle the monster couldn't help but be at awe, there king was simple incredible.

Oryx who was watching saw a faint purple light, immediately his instincts warned him of danger as he flew away from where the light was and his instincts where soundly correct as a massive twister of purple and black energy ripped from the mouth of the abomination, this beam of energy covered majority of the world in destruction as it cut through the land and darkened the sky.

Thankfully Oryx's speed allowed him to get away unscathed but the Beast was now fully healed and they were back at square one.

' This back and forth will get us nowhere, so long as even a single part of it remains this Beast will continuously regenerate its entire being. So I guess I can use a bit more of my true power then.'

As the taken King simply floated within the air unmoving his Knights wondered what he was planning but for the Beast it was starting to get annoyed with this it roared and fury and charged at him, it's massive mouth opens wide as it was going to devour him but....

*Bum, bum*

It could feel its heart which was comprised of the souls of this world cry out in horror.

*Bum, bum*

Once again it's heart beat with fear as the souls where quivering for some reason.

"Drown, within the deep."

Those four words were the catalyst for a force of Darkness the three never thought imaginable.

The entire land of Yomi was covered in a thick black essence which brought about death everything was being consumed within this blanket of death which began to spread through the world like an uncontrolled virus.

The Knights simply stood still as the essence of darkness creeped past them expanding out beyond the horizon consuming everything within the Kings will.

Soon the ground began to shake, the sky was already quivering.

' What is happening!!?'

The king of the hive flew down upon a piece of the world which stood higher then the beast itself, below him a massive circle of magical energy formed below him.

Taking a step forward his wings spread it slightly outwards as both hands went upon his swords handle as he rosed it into the air.

Before plunging it down, the circle oozes with the essence of the deep as the king roared and his wings sprouted wide.

Around him two balls of essence began to form an additional magical circle around him and upon the completion of this additional circle a massive pulse of energy was unleashed from the King.

Ripping through the entire world, anything which came into contact with it was instantly atomized completely erased from creation due to the Kings power, the beast watched as it traveled much faster then it could run and closed it's eyes.

As when the energy slammed into it, it was disintegrated, as nothing was left, not even it's essence.

The king stood upon the top of Yomi as his might caused the world to shake in terror, as all the beings who died and witnessed this clash of Titans looked upon the taken King who stared down, before they lowered there heads and bowed before the king.

Artoria and Izanami appeared behind him as they where bowing, but Artoria was the first to stand as she walked towards her King and plunged her blade into the stone below.

"My king there leader belongs to you?" She glanced down at all the weak being of this world who would be nothing for her king. "The rest await extermination.

"No gather them..."

"I will take them all."

There you have it lady's and gentlemen this newest chapter is done I hope you guys enjoyed.

OW MY GOD!! you have no idea how long I waited to be able to use this line!!!! Because this is just such a badass line/quote/motivational speech!!

So now alot of things are being set up for the future, the taken army grows thanks to oryx now taking ever soul within Yomi, Ravel is joining oryx after her being neglected and treated horribly by her brother, and now the knight set is completed with Izanami joining the team.

So I hope you are all ready because this shit is about to get EVEN MORE CRAZY!!!
