Two daemons stood before each other, one exhausted, clearly much more than the other, from the fight they had.
"Huff huff, how?"
The red-haired Daemon exclaimed.
"Fufufu, this is just a small gift from my Master, Rouge"
The other, sporting black hair mocked the Red Primordial, having won their battle one-sidedly.
Rouge couldn't believe it.
Noir, who was just slightly weaker than him not even a few decades ago was now so powerful that he barely could call their fight a battle.
He had dominated Rouge with absolute ease, with much less effort that Kokushibo seemed to put in their fight.
This made Rouge think, could it be that Noir had become stronger than that monster?
"Though I am still nothing compared in front of him"
These words baffled Rouge.
The Noir who had grown to such magnitude was still weaker than him! Just how strong was he?
Rouge's determination to grow stronger only flared hotter as he saw just how stronger his rival had gotten.
His pride wouldn't allow him to fret over how stronger the other was, but drive him to be stronger.
He was the Red Primordial, and no way was he going to allow himself to be weak.
This feeling of intense and ever-growing pride triggered a phenomenon, which made its way to the Red Primordial in the form of a unfamiliar robotic sound, followed by the fruit of his pride.

However, before he could understand this, a quake hit their area as an unexplainably dreadful Aura washed over them.
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< < strong>
RUMBLE...
The entire Underworld was quaking, with an intensity which would remain unprecedented for a prolonged time if not an eternity.
And at the epicenter of all that, stood a humanoid figure that radiated Power, as if he was the strength itself given form.
And surrounding him like a storming Aura, was a fierce Rage so violent that the very fabric of existence seemed to be rushing away from him, as a small layer of void formed around his skin.
The same Aura which was killing every single Being in the Underworld and bringing the Primordials to their knees, as they bore witness to this dreadful scene.
The fleshy blade that he wielded, with every swing, cut through the space and time itself. Forming Voids in existence never to be filled again.
He was Kokushibo, the Demonic Avatar of Hajun that had completely lost his mind as he rampaged on, destroying anything that stood in his way of killing the one who had made the mistake of invoking his wrath.
Aspro, the one who had enraged him had already perished, never to be reborn again.
The Primordials were immortal, sure, but it didn't matter before him.
Something as trivial as a Simple Astral Immorality that Daemons had was nothing in the face of Kokushibo's might.
With the kimono torn by Aspro's final resistance exposing his torso, he let out a roar.
That very roar, one unimaginably monstrous and guttural that shook the very Underworld to the point it began to collapse in on itself.
(Check the comment here to see what he looked like)
The Underworld has grown cracks in it, allowing his Aura to leak out from it.
Kokushibo had completely lost his mind, as he now began to rampage, destroying anything in sight
Countless Small Worlds became victim of the Energy as they perished, unable to handle the Aura which had leaked out to them from the Underworld.
Actually, Hajun even as Kokushibo was unimaginably powerful than this.
The only reason he had not destroyed everything was because of Athena holding him back as much as she could.
However, he was still stronger in this form as he slowly freed himself from her grasp and began releasing even more Aura.
During this catastrophe, a dimensional Gap opened above Kokushibo.
Feldway, the chief of the Angels of Origin who had been granted a body from Veldanava entered through it, or at least he tried to.
Just as he was halfway through the gate, it closed due to the Aura in the Air, effectively cutting that body which was weakened in the Demon Overlord's presence.
Abandoning his body, Feldway flew to Kokushibo, angered beyond reason by the fact that Kokushibo had harmed the precious body his Lord and Creator, Veldanava had gifted him.
However, there was nothing he could do even with the bit of 'Administrator Authority' Veldanava had bestowed upon him with which he could even overwhelm Ultimate Skills.
He was just blown away by the Aura as if he was a fly in a storm while being damaged severely.
Feldway's existence didn't even bother Kokushibo, no, it could be said that he didn't even notice it.
He fell right besides Noir and Rouge, who were on their knees, barely able to withstand the Aura that seemed to spell their Demise.
In this madness another portal opened, giving way to a humongous dragon with 4 substantial wings and cyan scales who floated in this Abyssal World tens of meters from the ground.
The dragon's eyes widened when his eyes fell on Kokushibo, but before he could say anything Kokushibo jumped at him.
It teleported behind Kokushibo, releasing Aura which helped lift a portion of pressure from the spectators, as they watched the display of power the 2 strongest entities in the World gave.
One being the Star King Dragon Veldanava, and the other being the Demonic Overlord Kokushibo.
Sensing Veldanava behind him, Kokushibo kicked the air, generating enough Air pressure to speed him up to a pace that surprised Veldanava while flying towards him.
Feldway just stood there, flabbergasted. This demon who had come out of nowhere was somehow keeping up with his Master, he couldn't believe it.
Veldanava lifted his hand, pointing towards Kokushibo just after which a sphere surrounded the Demon, and for some reason he just froze in mid Air.
This was a simple 『Time Stop』, cast by the use of 'Administrator Authority' the dragon had.
Inside the sphere Kokushibo was, everything froze. Not even infons, the fundamental information particles, could move within it.
The Authority as 'Administrator' wasn't strong enough to stop infons, but Veldanava's divine Authority was. That's just how powerful Veldanava himself was.
Rouge and Noir gawked at the sudden emergence who was even able to stop Kokushibo, though they had already felt that something else was holding him back as well.
In a daze, Rouge asked who the dragon was.
Feldway burst out in anger, ordering Rouge to respect the creator, before turning to the Demonic Overlord, who he blamed for ruining the 'invaluable' body his Creator had granted him.
It only took a second for the 2 Primordials to understand just who the dragon was.
In their mind, it now made sense.
Kokushibo was only a 'creation' of Veldanava, so no matter how strong he was compared to them, he would definitely fall short to Veldanava.
Within that moment, Rouge made Veldanava his final goal.
Noir however was conflicted.
He was dumbfounded that there was someone stronger than Kokushibo, his master.
He was astounded by Veldanava's immense strength, but also angry for what he was doing to Kokushibo even if he knew it was for the best.
But things were proceeding differently in the minds of the 2 at the center of their attention.
Athena had sent a mind transmission to Veldanava about the matter that transformed Kokushibo into that state.
Veldanava was calm at the surface after knowing this, but beneath the surface was a raging fury at the Daemon who had made his brother sad.
All of creation was nothing but a toy for Veldanava's entertainment, but Hajun was one who stood above even himself in Veldanava's heart.
The best way was by Athena to show him the memories of his past incarnations, but that did nothing as Kokushibo was immune to Mind attacks and also barely had a connection to Athena now.
After this failure, Athena began to search for all the possibilities and try them, until…
.
.
.
.
.
CRACK …
The sound made its way to everyone's ears present. What followed was a brief moment of silence, as they watched the sphere holding Kokushibo develop a crack.
Veldanava was surprised, Kokushibo was just an avatar with a negligible fraction of the power that Hajun possessed, and was restricted by Athena who commanded his own Origin Essence, but even after all this, he was still strong enough to break the cage.
Everyone just watched, either in surprise, amazement, disbelief, or horror at the break of the cage Veldanava created.
The crack only gave rise to other smaller ones Athena's ways to calm him down went down the drain.
BOOM…
The sphere exploded, leaving out a burst of energy that would have killed everyone except Veldanava, Hajun and Athena had she not shielded them from it.
Kokushibo flew at Veldanava, who could no longer fight him.
Kokushibo had already regained enough strength for Veldanava to become practically powerless to face him.
Just before his fleshy blade hit Veldanava's neck, the dragon, resorting to his last option, summoned a human, one whose sight froze Kokushibo in his tracks.
Sporting silver hair with a singular horn on her forehead, the little girl opened her eyes red eyes at the 6 eyed demon.
She shrunk back in fear at the sight of Kokushibo, while the person in question just stared at her.
The Aura released by Kokushibo, which had disappeared the moment she entered his sight, also seemed to disappear from everywhere it had reached, even the Cardinal World.
His blade, which stopped just short of the little girl's neck, dropped from his arms, falling to the ground in a big 'Boom' that sounded throughout the entire Underworld due to its sheer weight which was comparable to entire Worlds
Seeing the little girl afraid of him, he felt heartbroken as only one question went repeatedly through his mind over and over again.
"What have I done?"
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< < strong>
Tens of Millennia passed in the Central World and Hundreds of Thousands of years in the Otherworlds, as the aftermath of Kokushibo's rampage slowly faded into history. Only to be remembered only by the ones present at the dawn of Creation.
The invasion of Ivarage, Zelanus, Ashura and others, also shifted some of their minds from the tragedy.
While remembered by only a few, those who did remembered each and every detail of the terrifying force Kokushibo was.
It was now believed among them that Kokushibo had lost much of his power after supposedly exhausting himself, but that couldn't be farther from the truth.
Even with this belief, they were doubtful of whether they could take him on, especially Feldway, Noir and Rouge.
When Kokushibo had calmed down, he locked himself away for a while.
The image of Eri, the silver haired human, hating him was not something he was prepared for in that form.
Veldanava tried to find him, but only in vain as he deduced that Kokushibo had gone outside the Void itself after his search failed, somewhere out of his reach.
This was misinterpreted by the rest as his being sealed by the Star King Dragon.
Veldanava, knowing that he would return soon, transported the Overlord Castle to the highest dimension as well.
The highest dimension, given the name Origin Plane by Veldanava, was a huge World created exclusively to sustain itself while holding Hajun's Main body, though in a deep sleep.
It had 3 huge doors leading to it, each one in the Underworld, Star Palace and the Central World.
The daemons of the Underworld still chose to take refuge through the door, while the Angels were told not to mess with the daemons inside by Veldanava's unusually strict orders.
It was created since Veldanava knew that he would return soon enough. Noir also kept looking after it, as a sign of respect towards his master.
Kokushibo was incomparably stronger than Veldanava. This was only known to one of Veldanava's creations.
The said person being, his chief advisor, right-hand and sword, namely the Angel Dino, who was tasked to watch over these 3 doors.
The Origin plane was an endless dimension that was the refuge for many that Hajun chose to protect.
At its center was a city of Daemons, who lived peacefully and lawfully. It is no short of a utopia.
At the city's center existed a Crimson Floating Castle, one guarded by none, but also not trespassed by a single soul.
And in its throne room, instead of a throne, now laid a huge white door, the entrance to the secret dimension holding Hajun's Main body.
What rested inside was a mystery to all but Veldanava.
Inside was a sort of a huge upright coffin, held together by chains i side what seemed to be a golden hall that reeked of divinity.
It would be expected that Hajun was the one emitting this Aura but no, the entity that stood between him and the entrance did.
What stood before his coffin was a huge angelic figure with a huge sword standing in a supplication position as if guarding Hajun, which he was.
The Aura it exuded itself was powerful enough to wipe out an average Special-A rank monster, that too in a non-aggressive state, as the Aura increased exponentially when it was agitated.
This was the Gate Guardian, Inarius. (If you know who inarius is, my opinion of you has gone up really high, I mean like really really high)
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< < strong>
BOOM...
Repeatedly, booming sounds could be heard as 2 entities that could only be described as forces of nature clashed again and again.
One had beautiful white hair which matched with her Icy abilities, while the other sported a crimson color.
The woman, or rather Dragon, Velzard was currently attacking the Red Primordial Rouge, or Guy as he had named himself.
With the Ultimate Skill given to her by her older brother, she tried to use 'Fixation', a subskill from her 『Ultimate Skill: Gabriel; Lord of Patience』, but to her immense surprise it seemed to backfire.
No, what happened was that Guy's 『Ultimate Skill: Lucifer; Lord of Pride』, which evolved from his 『Unique Skill: Pride』 after his fight with Veldanava which turned out to be a one-sided beating, had copied her skills and could now use them with up to 90% potency.
She started using other tricks up her sleeve, only for Guy to counter them all.
As the fight went on, she began to fall short of what to use, and Guy, who was copying her skills and becoming more proficient in them only seemed to get stronger.
No matter what she did, it was ineffective. Not only was she lacking in battle intellect and Experience, now she also lost her advantage of superior firepower.
Velzard couldn't believe it, the bastard daemon who snuggled his way to her older brother was stronger than her?
No. She refused to believe it.
She was a True Dragon, the strongest race to ever exist. So why was she losing to a mere daemon.
"Come on now. We both know I am stronger than you. Why don't y…"
"SHUT UP"
Velzard exploded.
"How could a mere daemon like you defea…"
"A mere daemon?"
Guy interrupted agitatedly.
"You call me a mere daemon. But did you even know, there is a demon stronger than Velda"
Velzard was about to yell at him to speak her brother's name with respect but stopped as her mind began to process what she just said.
After a moment of silence, she burst out laughing. While she found it offensive to compare her brother to a 'mere daemon', much more him being defeated, she also found it quite comical.
After her fit of laughter which lasted several seconds, she scoffed, dismissing such a possibility.
Just as she was about to retort, a foreign voice interrupted them.
"Now, it's not good to talk behind peoples' backs, is it kid?"
She turned to the deep voice, finding a man a couple of inches taller than Guy with long black hair with red hints.
"Who are you?"
"Just a 'mere Daemon'. I'm in a good mood today so…"
His purple kimono blazed, as his long hair flowed with the wind blowing there.
However, what really stood out were his 6 eyes, shinning golden pupils with red fleshy sclera.
"So, who are you kid?"
The person, Kokushibo asked.
He had sealed away his memories of Tensura before coming back, to avoid being bored so he did not know Velzard.
Velzard was about to 'punish' him for his insolence before her but was interrupted.
"How are you here?"
The Ice Dragon turned to Guy, confused at the question.
"What do you mean?"
"Yeah, what do you mean, Rouge?"
"You should be sealed right now. How are you roaming free here?"
Velzard was confused. What did he mean by he should be sealed? As far as she was concerned, his Magicule level was barely about a greater Daemon, and there was no way she was mistaken, after all, she was a True Dragon right?!
"When was I sealed?"
"Huh? What do you mean? Didn't Veldanava seal you away?"
"Pfffft"
Kokushibo burst out laughing. This irritated Velzard to the point where she almost attacked him, but a certain instinct was telling her that it was the worst possible choice she could make at that very moment.
"Did you really this that he would, no, that he 'could' do that?!"
"THAT'S ENOUGH"
Velzard flew towards Kokushibo, giving out a huge roar as she transformed into her Dragon form.
Kokushibo on the other hand, looked at her, unimpressed.
SLASH…
An excruciating scream exploded from the Ice Empress, as she looked at 3 of her 4 wings severed and onto the ground.
She and Guy, both were confused as to why
Just then, she felt a dreadful Aura that she never did before.
She hurriedly looked ahead, only to see a long fleshy sword with 3 blade branches protruding from it and eyes filling it, as if the sword itself was watching you.
The Aura it emitted was immense, she in her mind even compared it to that of Veldanava.
No, Big brother was the strongest. There's no way this sword is that powerful, no I get it, Brother did not fully release his Aura back then.
"Not going to tell me?"
"Huh?"
Velzard gasped, surprised.
"Fine, I will do it myself"
Athena. He called out in his mind.
⟪Yes Master…

Huh? She's pretty weak for Little Vel's sister.
"Since you are Little Vel's sister, I will let you live."
Velzard was flabbergasted at his way of addressing her brother.
"W-Who are you?"
"You can call me Kokushibo"
