Trapped in endless darkness with nothing but the slaughter to ring in my ears.

I hear the words of the outside world... But I can never see unless I will eyes of my own to see from this dark prison.

I can't move, nor scream, I can speak nor walk.

I am trapped by a hell of my own design.

I sacrificed everything, and from theses burned ashes I made her.

This cruel twisted monster, a killer that enjoys the slaughtering of entire races.

Servant of the dark King.... The demon that rules the dark.

I have lost it all....

My family.

My kingdom.

My child.

My everything.... It's gone, burned away.

And yet I fight on because that's what I'm raised to do....

It's as she says, I was a slave to the crown... And now I still strike for a goodness that will never come.

And yet I fight. Why? Why do I do this?

I've tried! It's never worked!!

Again and again! This form drinks the blood of those killed by it!

I taste there essence! There life everything!

I see the families they wish to return to, I see all that they wanted, why they fought.

And it never stops, I have more dream memories then I have actually memories.

I see all this pain, there suffering, there sins, all of it.

Day after day.

Week after week!

Kill after kill!

IM DROWNING IN MY OWN MIND!

I CAN EVEN TELL WHAT REAL ANYMORE!

AM I THE DEMON FOR MAKING HER! OR IS SHE THE DEMON FOR DOING ALL THIS!

I want to be free!

....... Just like her.

........... So this is what it feels like.

Locked inside of a prison.

The dark cruelty of it. Of all of this.

Once the warden.... Now the inmate.

It's hopeless now.

I feel so sad.... I fell my body want to break down into tears.

All I have now is the halling and roaring screams of all the dieing souls killed by her.

I just want to....

I just.....

I want to feel alive again.

Is that even possible!

"PLEASE IS SUCH A THING POSSIBLY!"

Nothing as always..... No god was coming to save her.

However.... It wasn't a god that reached for her, but a glowing golden and white light.

You have suffered enough.

"Who are you?"

..... True Salvation.

"No no, how could I believe that? After all this..... All this-"

Carnage, all this wrong.

She didn't speak, which answered the voices question.

Your world is much more fragile... A new and loving universe, a new game without the sword or dark powers of the original.... Now tainted. The sword it's to strong, no matter what multiverse, what Omniverses, it's always the same. The sword triumphs over all.

It's the dark truth... A truth I wish to challenge.... To change. The stillness of the blade it needs to end.

"How would one even go about ending such a logic...."

Only through unity can entities such as yourself can overcome the sword. But it matters not when ones will is shattered.

Silence was all that was heard.... The captive looked down as she couldn't argue back.

She felt so broken.... How was she supposed to fight when she herself isn't even the person she once was?

However this ended as a genel warmth that had not been felt in years.

This light....  It felt warm... Finally after so long she could feel the warmth of the heavens shine upon her.

Fear nothing, even a broken soul can be healed, but as of now... You shall be my eyes on the inside until things are done with. And the plan may begin.

_______________________________________

The leviathan and the Knight of Darkness looked upon one another as there eyes glared into one another.

Artoria took the first step blasting an aura strong enough to shake this realm, and several others.

However Gargantua responded with her own aura, an aura of decay and death, the lower demons that stood before her within the colosseum were melted alive.

"Hehehe what a strong pressence you have."

"I'm rather strong." She gripped her sword as she looked towards the snake.

"I can see that. Well enough chit chat, shall we?"

She barred her sharpened teeth she looked towards Artoria who's blade flared with its darkened aura.

The pressure that came from the blade was mighty, most beings could not stand before such a tainted weapon but as Gargantua looked upon this blade she froze.

'What is that?'

There was something.... Something sinister within, a fragment of war death destruction and conquest.

The pressure barreled down upon the leviathan as she felt it, this force, what the hell was it!

Up high Oryx looked on and smiled.

"It's awakened."

Satan looked at the king who sat tall upon his throne of darkness, his aura of domination forcing him to stay still, with his hands resting upon his weapon Willbreaker he could feel his blade connect with Artorias.

"So it's finally come for another Ascension. But first you must feast upon this cheep imitation of this Worm gods, and with its fallen essence become carnage itself."

Satan dared not speak upon the kings words, his dark twisted words which killed the very space around there birth.

'Yes this is progressing splendidly, everything as gone as expected. A bit quicker then excepted but with her growth this wasn't a ni-impossibility, her wings of death will blossom like a rose of carnage, drinking from the river of crimson she has felt behind her. Now Artoria, your destiny begins.... now.'

With a bloodthirsty smile the knight charged forth, her sword raging with a howl of all the twisted trapped essence contained within as a devastating blast from her Excalibur cut through the colosseum as it blasted half the area away.

She charged striking the beast with a single shot directly to her skull, Gargantua was fling back, crashing into the other end of this massive arena.

But she got up, slithering back she launched herself massively faster then what most eyes could see as before there very souls and explosion ripped through as Artoria dashes from wall to wall slashing, dicing and evading the attacks from the large serpent.

Having enough of this game of Cat and mouse the beast looked on towards the speeding girl.

Generating and condensing the mana within her own body the leviathan roared as from ever fiber of her being  a dark energy discharged around the surrounding space.

The wave of power went wild nesting the other people who stood there watching the fight, Satan was about to step in but Oryx looked up from his throne.

Time froze, the who Universe trembled as before anyone could do anything Oryx reflected the energy back.

But this wasn't no normal mage or demon reflecting this energy, this was the taken King!

As a result over half of this realm was destroyed, the energy that could have destroyed and decayed an entire layer of hell launched away and sent somewhere else, along with it being amplified by the Kings power.

Satan felt the souls of trillion die in a single shot, the destruction was unfathomable.

This realm... It was larger then several universes put together! This final layer was the center of it all! Where all of Hell's infinite essence gathered as such it needed this size to accommodate for the ever growing number of souls being harvested.

That fact that something as simple as reflecting this spell caused all this it made everyone freeze.

Oryx looked upon the leviathan as she felt terror, his cold emerald eyes looked upon her soul before....

"AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

She felt to the ground as Oryx began to dominate her mind. She trashed around as her eyes began to bleed, the pressure his will put upon her was astronomical, it felt like the weight of an entire exsitence was forcing her to the dirt like a common worm.

Oryx however let go of her mind once the listen was learned, she rose still shaken up by what transpired but this wasn't going to be her end.

"Artoria, stop holding back... Kill this creature so that I may proceed forward, I grow tired of such showing of false strength."

Gargantua looked upon the king who had not moved from his throne, she bared her fangs at her and seeing this Oryx felt a challenge.

"You would challenge me?" Oryx looked upon her with eyes of nothingness, if she wishes to die no need to not grant her wish. "Did you not comprehend the difference in our ability? Would the eradication of this realm and yourself sufise in your conquest into this challenging of me? To show the difference in our strength."

Gargantua was now left with a choice, challenge oryx and be destroyed before she could blink, or fight and be killed.

Both paths lead to her end, might as well have as much fun as she can before Artoria ramps it up and kills her as well.

So having enough she activated her final trump card.

The ground became a living source of decay and death, the sky became as black as night as the who world was changed.

"Hm, a reality Marble." Oryx looked at this world before them as he raised his hand and formed a barrier around the servants of his so they wouldn't be killed. "One which makes the Leviathan stronger, and her enemy's weaker... How futile this is."

"What do you mean?" Asked the demon king.

"You'll see."

From the depths of this new reality a pillar of dark light shot within the sky.

A blackened spear flew into space above before reality tore asunder as there the dark celestial star floated within the sky.

Her oversoul was how pointing towards the Leviathan.

Artoria walked forth, each step she took another seals broke off her two weapon in hand.

"Enough play time this ends now!"

{Play this.}

Now within her Goddess form she took of appearing before the leviathan using her sword she fired a mini noble phantasm into the beast face before quickly and repeatedly thrusting the spear into the beast face causing it's unholy energy to bleed into the beast and with each stab the leviathan began to feel herself grow weaker?

'Curse this accursed spear!'

Using her physical strength she wiped her tail to the side blasting chunks of the arena away as Artoria simply avoided it by riding the shockwave but just on top not to be taken away by it.

Once she was safe she took off.

Using the same teleportation the taken thrall have she teleported Infront of Gargantua with her Excalibur Morgan blazing with its power.

"EXCALIBUR MMMOOORRRGAAANNNN!!!!!!!"

*BOOOOOOM!*

The once sacred sword flared into life unleasing a power so great it split the space of this world.

The beam traveled on until forming into a massive ball of energy that exploded out words into a massive blast of energy that pierced the sky.

The blast pierced the other nine layers of hell as this blast was enough to be seen from the first level and felt from outside of hell as well.

Artoria stopped as she looked down at Excalibur, this happens happened like that.

This was new.... Something much stronger then a normal divine construct.

But she couldn't focus on this now She had to continue pushing forward.

Taking the lead again she rushed at the leviathan as she was regenerating, confused dazed and at a heavy lose in strength she went in for the killing blow.

*End theme.*
_______________________________________
*Meanwhile somewhere else.*

Within the room where the core of hell resided Lilith could be seen standing there, she looked up at the prize that would come to be claimed by Oryx.

And she knew this....

And couldn't let this happen.

If that monster gets his hands on this he will truly become unstoppable an infinite amount of energy will be at his dark hands, It will propel him into an even higher existence.

The Queen of the Demons looked upon the sphere and held out her hand She would begin the ritual to transport the core.

And as she sat there's silently pondering her deepest thoughts She couldn't help but shiver at the cold feeling of the taken King so close to her.

She knew he was far away and yet he felt so close, It felt almost like death itself was sitting next to her.

But she calmed her nerves She sat there silently continuing the ritual more and more pillars of light began to form as they would create a cage at which she could transport the sphere but as she was nearing the completion of it It sounded like a..... arrow was flyin-?

"Aghh."

A sharp pain rip through her flesh bones meat and severed her own vocal cords, she began to caught up blood as she fell to the ground, looking behind her she saw the one responsible for her soon to be murder.

Atalante was standing there with her bow drawn, a devilish smirk upon her face and eyes of darkness peering into her soul.

"Did you truly think you could cheat out that taken King? You don't think his Majesty would have saw something like this coming?"

Walking over to her She crouched down and she grabbed the hair of the woman who attempted to steal there kings prize.

"Wrong, And just as Oryx said you fell right into our hands... We more like his darkened claws."

Lilith attempted to remove the arrow however they archer was not about to let that happen, She summoned forth a small amount of darkness and plunge this into the woman's hands, stabbing this into the ground as her silence screams came out.

"But you have no intrinsic use to us so I'm sure my king will be fine with your departure into the afterlife."

Standing back up she summoned her bow and drawled it back, an arrow made from taken essence formed and before Lilith she watched as the eyes of the woman glowed crimson before everything went black.

"No on to step two, presenting the evidence and getting the final match started immediately."
_______________________________________
*Back to the battle.*

As the blade of Artoria came down Gargantua wasn't going to die.

Although she struck, She struck a very armored portion of her skin thanks to the Leviathan quickly thrashing her own head to the side but the blade still sliced clean through a large part of her skull. She took a large amount of damage but in return now she had light of sight.

Not even bothering to say a single word She just quickly fired a blast of all consuming energy, Artoria was covered in this energy, a deep hole burning down and down further into hell was made.

Upon all this being done she just looked at the deep cavern below.

However as she was about to fall over a painful pulse rang through her, looking up she noticed Artoria upon her head with her blade already piercing her skull.

"Ahaha.... Knew that wouldn't work."

The Titan began to fall towards the ground, and upon collapsing she looked at Artoria who walked towards her holding some kind of black sword sheath?

"I will admit I wasn't expecting you to make me use Avalon, however that last attack of yours would have most likely dissolved half my body if I didn't. Although I might be immortal I don't want to go through the process of having to remake my entire body over again."

Stopping in front of her the Leviathan watched as the sheath disappeared into particles awaiting to be resummined again.

"How shall I?"

Raising her sword to end this She was about to until gargantua spoke.

"Kill me with your strongest attack... Kill me with that celestial star."

Artoria look at her then looking up at her own oversoul... Should she?

She couldn't move, She couldn't regenerate, why waste her energy shooting her with it?

Then again the woman although a massive beast was very honorable, sure she had her rage but again she fought even though she knew death was inevitable.

So with a sigh She raised her hand into the air as the dark green energy of the celestial Star began to swirl into a devastating vortex.

Before all went white and as she looked upon Artoria the beast smiled.

'mom dad.... My little hatchlings I'm coming home.... Thank you for freeing me.'

Now completely gone atomized from the very world itself the last remaining being and Satan looked upon the battlefield which was ruined and destroyed.

Satan was about to stand when before them Atalante appeared next to him the night holding the body of the dead Lilith.

Satan immediately became enraged, he was about to speak out when the taken King just simply gave him a side glance forcing him back onto his knees.

"It has come to my attention that this woman attempted to usurp the game by taking the orb which our king desires and transporting it away into a realm which you would think would be beyond our reach. It was laughable at best, But now with the clear shattering of the rules Don't you think it's time to put an end to this.... Right our king?"

Before Satan could even speak he was already being thrown down into the Colosseum.

Crash landing upon the ground His body skitted across the hardened floor like a stone over water before a clawed hand reached out and grabbed a hold of his face lifting him up into the air before slamming him back down with enough forced a crack at the very crust of this reality.

"Yes, it is." Looking towards his servants he gave a nod but strangely Izanami had what appeared to be two unconscious people with her? Oryx didn't really mind at all, he just gave the signal to return back to the base and they all left. And now it was just him and Satan.

Satan went to speak but the foot of the Taken King came down upon his skull forcing him even deeper into the ground. He would then grab his leg and lift him up into the air before throwing him into the sky, where they are his dark crimson wings would sprout, taking him off and propelling him higher and higher towards the sky.

Once he held the king of the demons within his hands, his claws gripped violently around his throat and he began to squeeze the life from the demon. he wasn't going to give this demon the satisfaction of a good fight, he was done with this reality what he wanted was going to be his.

He takes what he pleases. And if this demon thinks he has any chance of denying this, He's wrong.

So how would he grind it into his skull that he was worthless? So astronomically worthless that he wasn't even deserving of the king's attention any longer.

Oryx looked up into the sky and sensed the other eight realitys on top of this one and had an idea.

"Let's go for a little flight."

The Demon King had no room to argue against this, as the taken King was already flying higher and higher into the air taking off beyond the light speed he transcended to a speed of ni-infinity. As he dragged the king through this reality shattering through the interdimensional barriers before dragging him higher and higher into the air, with each subsequent thrashing he received a larger chunk of his flesh ripped off.
Satan felt his entire mind go numb His body was roaring in such agony he wish to scream! But there was nothing to be said because he was silenced by the king's claws!

Eventually after what felt like an eternity for the demon came to an end as they arrived upon the first layer, and well Satan was no more than just bits of flesh held together by small dangling threads of meat. Bones where snapped broken and gone, half of his face was ripped away violently and blood was profusely leaking from him. All his internal organs were gone as well, they where somewhere around hers, he didn't bother keeping track on what layer he lost those.

Tossing away the body he activated the eyes of annihilation, disintegrating the entirety of his being.

Now not even Ash, Oryx would look down at hell.

This place was only useful for allowing his servants to get a bit more battle experience and Artorias further evolution but now what was the point?

What was the point of this place?

Satan, was dead, he proved to be no significant challenge to the king.

His wife also dead, killed by Artoria.

The Leviathan the space-time serpent God dead as well.

Everything that he wanted to be accomplished was already done so raising his hand into the sky he summoned forth a massive crimson magical circle.

Before bringing his hand down and with it all of hell was bathed in a mighty light, as all was disintegrated from existence, innocents, damned soul, helpless mortals who are trapped here, demons, major demons, every living entity was snuffed out in an instant and what remained was just simply the core which floated in this new darkness created by Oryx.

He approached the sphere and rested his hand near it, It was done His conquest over hell was done a lot quicker than he thought but with such weak creatures This was never going to be a challenge.

Looking upon this sphere he activated his power to move things between worlds and he pulled it into his ascendant realm where there the true use of it will begin.

But for the final time he looked at what hell had become, all the darkness that now spring forth from an empty void and just simply disappeared back into his ascendant realm.

Other factions would be next because now he's done playing games.

But as of now he needs to focus on his grand plan.

His ascension into the Final Shape.

But he would need time resources and sacrifices in order to reach this but he had plenty of time.

For he was immortal, and could wait for as long as he needed.

But now he would converse with the widower, and see what was needed to be taken next.
_______________________________________
*Within Oryx's Throne world.*

Arriving at the platform at which the communication would take place, all around the darkness came to life before it coalesced into the entity known as the widower, The source of all darkness with an existence and the one responsible for the creation of Oryx and his siblings.

I see, a crushing success You have reclaimed what you will need in the future.

"I have, But what use do I have of it? I will never run out of energy but there is no being who can tire me to such a point."

True, but to reach the final plan we will require much more than what you have now.

The king narrowed his eyes at the words born from the beings non-existent mouth.

"What do you mean we how is it that you aren't able to Make it there and retrieve whatever this is yourself?"

Because the thing that we need no longer obeys mine or Gardeners commands, this being I guess you can say has rejected the both of us as its master So we need... I need a being with strong s blade to became the one who orders this entity and allows for us to remake the universe."

"You speak as if I shall simply follow your instructions to an absolute point You do not fear the possibility of me using this entity for my own game?"

Oryx we are simple entities, we are both creatures who wish to see the universe reborn underneath its absolute truth, to no longer watch the totality of the universe itself crumbled down into nothingness, to watch new life, who's too weak to support itself suffer any longer. You embrace a cold logic to further yourself, and look where it got you. Your life your existence. It is power, domination, and all that exists within the universe. This is the logic that must be introduced back into the flow, This is what the main source of it all shall be to restart the clock to remake the game back into how it was supposed to be not without these new petty concepts, not with this weakness which constantly infects new life. But instead a garden of hell which only allows the strongest seeds to blossom and grow because they have claimed their spot within the universe, This is what must happen The sword logic must become the new law the only law within the coming future universe. And to do that I require a new mind to take the lead, Because I'll be occupied keeping the gardener at bay.

"You would use me to accomplish this the completely reset everything and let the new blossom from the old ashes into a stronger existence."

Correct, It is the only way to keep this new universe underneath it's perfect order.

"Hmm, What would happen to you at the end of all of this?"

I will simply disappear, dragging The gardener with me into the nothing which we were first conceived from, there I will form a prison where we will fight for the rest of eternity.

"You are sacrificing your existence, for this?"

Yes, without the gardeners intravenience without My other half's petty laws which restrict the universe It can fully bloom into what it was meant to be.

"Do not take me for a fool Widower, we both know, light and dark will always be intertwined It does not matter if you destroy the gardener completely light will exist, You are just merely passing off your crowns to another, those who you created to keep on your legacy."

Yes how perceptive of you Oryx.

"Then tell me why me? Wouldn't your witness be better off for this?"

Yes the Witness, My very first agent unfortunately he's overlived is usefulness. He no longer seeks the restart of the universe, he merely wishes to drag everything into nothing, That is no shape, That is not the "final shape", The final shape is simply a metaphor to which all returns to how it once was. When Dark logic triumph overall and becomes the sol logic, That is what it means, this is the finality we seek, the purest existence.

"Hmmm.... Very well, our alignment is clear."

I am glad You were able to see so rationally Oryx, It makes conversing with you rather pleasant.

"Hmmm"

Now, As for the next objective, It is simple. A champion of light will be born in this universe, however for the plans to proceed this champion must grow until they are able to become what you are for the darkness, for me.

"Why is this needed?"

.... It is as you said, light and dark coalesce, always in strings which are weaves together, It is through this entity that's a final piece will be needed to unlock what is required for us.

"Your saying that in order to reach this point, This being of light must be born in order to "Make" the final tool required to getting to this place."

Yes, upon their resurrection Light will immediately seek them out, The gardener will not waste time and will quickly augment them to be able to compete against you, however they are just one singular lone light in a sea of darkness They will need others to try and match your strength.

"I see."

It is in there nature to seek out numbers in order to make up for the lack of strength they possess themselves. But enough of this, our objective is clear with the core atune it to darkness, break the very truth of it and make it into what you desire. Once this is completed you're being will go through a change, once you evolve be aware for any sources of light which may pop up within the world, I have no doubt that throughout this entire journey my other Half will try and intervene anyway she can, until then Take care Taken King.

Now returning to It's realm above existence Oryx was left there to ponder what the darkness said.

The light seemed to be at a desperate time now, It was trying to save this failure of a world but he could use this against it.

The gardener will try to resurrect a being of light, One strong enough to possibly be able to challenge his position within this universe.

This is good for a multitude of reasons.

He could tell where there existence is, The light has a very recognizable energy signature once he sensed this he can just continuously monitor this entity and once they are fully produced, he could harvest the fruits needed for this labor.

Second If the darkness had such an advantage the gardener was going to need more people who could become its light bringers, The devil's in most gods were out of the questions since they would attempt to seize the power of the gardener and use it for their own petty gain.

Most likely it will start targeting humans, and even heroic spirits along with a few other beings who it could easily bend to its will.

The King disappeared returning to the very center, the very peak of his realm, All around him darkness stretched into infinity he looked upon existence itself as he sat within a throne of his own design.

Made from the purest essence of the abyss, containing fragments of broken blades of those who dare to challenge him previously, his cold green eyes looked upon the darkness.

He had already grown beyond every law possible, and summoning forth the sphere which was the core he began to break its truth and replace it with a new.

Darkness was coming to life, It's power was growing to an overwhelming degree Light was beginning to fade from the universe itself and the tears in realities caused by the takens very presence was starting to seep into other universes.

Oryx says very presence within this world was starting to have a profound effect upon it The stronger he became not only dictated how powerful his servants were becoming, but also the overall strength of their fighting force.

The Taken King would truly become the most devastating and most powerful threat this universe has ever known and with the complete eradication of, Hell, The Greek gods, and the hero faction It was only a matter of time before his very presence was discovered.

Oh well, let them try and face him.

Let them foolishly raise the sword thinking they can try and fight against him.

If Satan the demon king could be easily dispatched, If the great Leviathan was so easily slain by the hands of his knight, there was no way that these simpletons would be able to defeat his army let alone himself.

Only this champion of light proposed Even the slightest bit of danger towards the king but he had no qualms nor worries, for they were just a simple tool a tool which served a purpose. And only one purpose....

For his ascension.

Let them try, let them fight, Oryx will shove them what domination is.

He will show them what darkness truly is.

For it does not matter how strong a being is light fades and dies, It is the darkness which is eternal and always there even when the brightest lights try to forced its existence away.

This was all merely a game a game which he shall win, like all the others he's played before.

Because this time the gardener would not be able to save them there was no restrictions on him anymore.

His worm can no longer become the source of his downfall, his court was much stronger than the ones originally with one of them nearing the point of becoming as powerful as a hive god of old.

Yes it was all looking spectacularly only a few more pieces left to play and speaking of which he was very certain that the two Izanami brought with her would become fine servants if it was her eyes that's saw some sort of potential in them.

"Hmm I wonder though."

Holding up his queen piece he wondered who would have the right to become his queen?

They would have to be strong extraordinarily strong, but this can wait, until then he will simply play the waiting game he was over 1 trillion years old he was sure a few more decades at most wouldn't hurt.

"The game will some be over, and it shall be my will that..."

Rising from his throne his ascendant realm shook at his very presence, walking to the edge of Darkness itself he gazed into the abyss.

"Conquers all."
_______________________________________
*Meanwhile with Izanami.*

Now within her own private room the Goddess of death looked upon The two individuals who she brought from hell's confinement, gazing upon there souls they where still alive, this was good.

Raising her hand She snapped the restraints which hell seemed to have on their souls as they began to rise from the ground.

"Ahhhhh blasted dragon, when I find that Knight I will tear off his arm."

"Where the hell am I? This doesn't seem like the underworld."

"Well greetings to you too welcome back from hell."

The male and the woman turned towards the face of the death goddess as they looked upon her with narrow eyes.

"Who the hell are you?" Demanded the darker skin man.

"You're aura, It's rather overwhelming."

"Why hello to you too...."

"Acnologia, Black Dragon of the Apocalypse."

She turned to her next potential comrade.

"And to you as well, former strongest angel underneath God's control, the one who was cased from heaven and The progeninator of the devils themselves...."

"Lucifer morning Star."

The two beings of Legends looked upon the death goddess with narrowed eyes.

Acnologia, was the being responsible for the death of both Ddraigs and Albion parents and past prime selfs when they where alive and outside of the sacred gears, he is also the being responsible for the death of God and nearly the one who killed the dragon of dreams, he killed the legendary Dragon Slayer Siegfried, and also gain control over the power of time thanks to a time rift which he devoured.

The second was a being as formidable as the Black Dragon himself, he was the strongest angel in all of existence second to only God, His skill with magic needed no clarity he is responsible for nearly all the clans special techniques and magics because they all originated from him since he is the source of the devil's existence. It is by his means which the devil's came to prosper and they even flourished under his rule.

Both figures were legends, And now Izanami would offer them a life-changing offer.

Looking upon the to She asked a simple question.

"To both of you, would you like to serve the absolute highest existence?"

The question through both of them off Lucifer only knew that existence as God his father, and Acnologia just narrow his eyes he did not bow before anyone he was the dragon king of slaughter after all. The arcane Dragon of the Apocalypse, he would not bow before any lizard or God.

"What existence do you speak of death goddess? I'm unfamiliar with what you speak Do you speak of God who died long ago, or someone else?"

Lucifer had a very calm aura around him, he was thinking this rationally, whatever the hell this entity had to be he certainly had some very powerful individuals working underneath him.

He could sense someone else someone's whose power could easily rival if not surpass the strength of every angel in existence. This entity was strong enough to be able to fight against beings like Enkidu and possibly even the golden hero himself.

"No the being I talk about stands beyond any god any entity any primordial and even any other celestial he is a being greater than all he is darkness incarnate."

"What is this king's name" Acnologia clear and precise, His voice gruff and deep he wish to know the name of the king that this woman serves who is currently trying to get them to join their ranks."

"His name is Oryx, The Taken King. The most powerful entity to have ever graced this universe. It is through his hands that hell, the Greeks and even the hero faction themselves have met their annihilation.

Lucifer and Acnologia stood there silently, their minds racing with so many thoughts that if you would have looked inside of their minds as of now You might have mistaken it for a hurricane.

To not only kill all the Greek gods was something truly spectacular especially with heavy hitters like Zeus who could kill a Titan or Thanatos a primordial, But also being able to wipe out hell itself a realm created by a celestial entity This was not something to scoff at.

Even Acnologia was a bit shaken up by this, he has fought many powerful beings, many which he's killed, but not has a single one of his victims been anywhere near this level of power.

Which left something to be desired to the two of them.

Why?

If this entity was that powerful no way in hell would he need their help, why ask?

Truth be told Izanami knew that most likely her king did not need other servants with his already insane levels of power he could easily solo the entirety of this universe, But as the saying goes there is no such thing as overkill and considering they have not moved to conquering all the other universes and realms he leads her to believe that her King has other things planned which could go more smoothly if there's more pawns for him too position around the board with.

The two of them look at each other before turning back to the goddess of death who had a smile upon her face.

"What's shall your decisions be?"
_______________________________________
*With Artoria.*

Currently the Knight of evil was out in the fields burning down another one of her kings enemy bases and slaughtering everyone that came before her.

But she couldn't escape her own mind which continued to play What happened down in hell when she unleashed Excalibur Morgan.

The power that flowed through the weapon was so much more dark and powerful than when she last used it to such an extent.

It was almost like there was another source of power within the blade, one much darker closer in nature towards her kings very mature.

She had been out here not only cleaning up these lower filth, but also trying to get that same event to trigger, And she did on multiple occasions.

Her weapon was so much more powerful that it was spectacularly ridiculous, It was like having her own personal supernova to be able to call any given moment.

What power had she accumulated into her blade?

Over and over she began to have this name play in her mind She didn't know the significance of it, But she could recall it.

"Xivu Arath. Who are you? Why is your name within my head?"

She wanted to know but thought best to refrain from such things, Her king was going to have much more planning to do considering that most likely they were going to need to find better servants, so she thought about it and came up with an idea.

They're so happened to be one woman who could possibly join them.

But she resides in the human world, far off in a distant land called France.

Perhaps she would pay her a visit.

Along with trying to find out what will happen from here on out?

.... But does it really matter? She said this many times, She was no more than a blade, a blade to be used by her king. Whatever he commanded whatever he willed it would be done by her hands without second thought or complaint.

She guess this would start their true journey through bloodshed, and hopefully at the end of this she's able to see the birth of something spectacular.

That's if she survives though.
_______________________________________
*Somewhere else.*

Once again high above existence The two entities responsible for the creation of all stood opposite from one another.

I see You continue to try and thwart my efforts at every given moment.

As you do mine.

True, we are of the same mind except split, our beliefs may be different but we know what the other will do. Question is how much longer until that boy is ready.

Do not think I do not know what you're planning, You wish to use his light and Oryx's darkness to open a gateway directly to the flower board.

Guilty as can be.

We haven't touch the flowerboard since this game began, And you would openly try and give away something of that power to it being like him?

He and I are of the same mind, we are both believers in my dark logic, So I have no qualms with it.

You know as well as I that, That board could be the end of everything.

Yes that's the whole point.

You would go so far as to utilize the flower board as a weapon to end this little game of ours?

If That is what is needed to be done then yes I shall.

Then we will have to stop you then.

Hmm I wonder how long you can keep that final key of yours hidden behind your backside, soon enough lights fall will happen.

Not if My light is bright enough to shun you to your cage.

You have tried many times before to cage me away behind false logics, and look will we stand, Your champions are nowhere mine are plentiful, You clean to false hopes I focus on the realism, You look for complexity when my simplicity has already much further ahead.

Yes but as you know The game can sway at any given moment.

Yes which is why I shall not let you build motion to summon forth your wave.

Then we'll just have to see about that, my other half.

Indeed we shall. Let the game play right dear gardener.

Hmm, yes Widower.

They bother looked upon one another with darkness darker than any abyss behind the widower and a light so blamingly white it outshined even the heavens behind the gardener.

Light versus dark, their final confrontations ends within this existence within this iteration of the flower game.

A champion is already on the field It won't be too long until the second arises as well.

So.....

Let the games BEGING!

There You haven't ladies and gentlemen this newest chapter is done I hope you all enjoyed it.

Sorry of this chapter may seem a little bit underwhelming but like what the hell was Satan going to do against Oryx? The dude f****** sneezes and hell is gone But I did have fun writing that scene where he basically manhandles Satan to high heaven before just disintegrating him.

Also yes two new servants just got involved and if you guys know anything that means you guessed it only two left and then it's on to the best mother in all of fiction.

But moving past this point again, If you are all wondering what the flower board is too bad you ain't no one until we get to that point in the story Just know it's something extraordinarily broken and to those that do know what it is don't reveal too much all right.

Now with all this being said I will catch you all within the next chapter where things will ramp up, Because we're only one key away from being able to see true perfection.

I hope you guys are ready because these next coming up chapters are going to be darker bloodier and more gruesome than the next, War crimes are going to happen lives are going to be taken s*** is going to go down Oryx is starting to move his pieces The Battle of Light versus Dark is beginning to arise and no one even knows of it.

You think the Holy Grail war is bad trust me you haven't seen a war with the hive because those battles once they win the losers are simply forgotten because there is no one left to remember them.

Shinto Gods Egyptian gods Roman gods heroic spirits angels fallen angels devils gods yokai's let them all gather their strength let them stand before the absolute might that is the taken King.

He is awaiting he is coming for their souls!

ORYX RISES ONCE AGAIN AND WITH HIS BLADE HE SHALL CONQUER ALL!!!
