54 Powerhouse line up

"Hehehe~, so you finally decided to show yourself huh? Douji" Nobunaga said in a mocking tone. "Kekeke, that smug character of yours didn't change after all these years! I'll be sure to patch that up real good" Douji, the Lord of 3rd Hell, said.

"I think you forgot one thing, I'm not a mortal anymore! I'm way more stronger than how I used to be! You can not defeat me! You can never defeat me, Douji!" Nobunaga said. "HUHAHAHAHAHA! DO YOU THINK THIS IS YOUR LAND? THIS IS MY WORLD! AND HERE, I'M AN EXISTENCE THAT PUTS EVEN THE GODS ON HIGH ALERT! DO YOU THINK YOU CAN BEAT ME THIS TIME? HAHAHA! DREAM ON ODA!" Douji laughed like he gone mad.

While these two were having their "reunion chat", the others could not even muster up the courage to stand up. The mere arrival of Douji made them paralyzed and unable to move. But seeing Nobunaga speaking with him as if he's his rival, they felt shiver running through their spine.

No one ever saw a true demon Lord ever since the first war of Gods and demons. And those who saw one, never lived to tell the tale. Previously, there were 13 Hell and a true demon as the Lord for each of the 12 Hell. The last one was called "Greater Hell" where the "True King" of the demons lived. The demon Lords manage their respective Hell while the Demon King managed the Demon Lords.

Douji dropped his huge spiked mace on the ground and cracked his fists with a wide grin on his face. "Kukuku, if you die, blame yourself for being weak" Douji said with an evil grin on his face.

Nobunaga also started cracked his fists with the same evil grin, "Same goes for you, if you die soon, then blame yourself" he said. Douji picked up his mace and Nobunaga drew out his blade. Both of them were about to launched towards each other, but suddenly.

"ROOOOOAAAAARRRRRRRR"

A sound that almost split the sky and trembled the earth echoed. Four dragons descended from the sky rapidly. *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*. The ground shook as if the main battery salvo of the "Ruler of the Sea", battleship Yamato hit the ground.

The dust cleared. Out of four huge dragons, two of them stood with two legs while the other two stood with four. One of the dragon looked like it's from Chinese mythology. The other three looked almost same. The dragons were in four different colors. Red, black, yellow and blue.

Herjar couldn't believe his eyes. The four dragons stood between them and Douji. He never thought the day when he would meet the four dragon emperors in flesh would come in his lifetime. The others were in awe as well. Seeing a dragon itself pretty rare. But seeing a dragon emperor and all four of them on top of that! This is beyond rare! This is a miracle.

Seeing the dragon emperors facing Douji released the pressure on their side. They could stand normally. And about getting in formation? Who cares that anymore? It is no use even if they were to bring in half their country's army to face them. They would be wiped out without a moment's note.

Nobunaga was pretty annoyed as well. He thought that he could finally finish his hundreds of years of grudge. But instead, four huge lizards stand before him and were blocking his way. He was ready to make some lizard barbeque.

"Lizards, if you don't want to die, scram" Douji said. Even he was excited to fight Nobunaga after all these years, and yet it was ruined by these shitty lizards. He wanted to fry them and feed them to his dogs.

"What brings you here? Have you forgotten about the agreement made between the Gods and Demons?" the red dragon asked him. It could be said that the red dragon emperor or fire dragon emperor was trying not to piss of Douji. If he or any of the dragon emperors were to die here, then it would be a catastrophe. And Douji has the power to make it real. They are here only to give face to the Gods who can't really come down here to deal with this. All they could do was persuade him or stall for time so that reinforcements could arrive.

"Heh, I haven't forgotten our agreement and what I am doing here is none of your business! So now, are you going to leave or should I make you?" Douji said in a pissed off tone. Waiting, is something he dislike. The dragon emperors were trembling in fear, but they didn't show it outside.

Soon, the reinforcements they expected have arrived. The Queen of Elves as well as the Queen of Sylivians along with her son have arrived with their whole armies. Thirty thousand elven warriors, ten thousand elven archer and eighteen thousand Sylivian warriors as well as six thousand Sylivian archers and four thousand Druids, Lizardmen army of eight thousand warriors and ten thousand barbarians and seven thousand beastkin warriors and archers of the Sylive forest alliance. Their whole military force was deployed.

Out of nowhere, a guy in white robe teleported above the dragons. He floated in the air above the mountain path and looked at Douji with a sharp gaze. Soon, more white robes began to pop up beside him. He is the pope of the Church of Light in sub-human continent and the ones beside him are all cardinals of the Church, a total eight of them.

Soon, more powerful figures started to pop up out of nowhere. Grandmaster Knight commander of Hydral along with the Lesser dragon division commander and a few hundred dragon Knights, Grand Necromancer of Undead lands, Grand magician of Tundra the magic country, sword saint Curva, Witch Queen Anzed, Night Blade Assassins organization leader Ez along with his few top Assassins and the Grand Elder Linch of Undead lands. This kind of powerful lineup was never seen before.

Herjar also stoped hiding his power and released it to stand on the equal grounds. Herjar, the Grim reaper, also arrived. The Night Blade leader Ez only then felt his presence. He looked towards the mountain path where Herjar was standing with both daggers in his hand. Herjar also noticed his gaze and looked at him. Ez lightly nodded his head in respect and Herjar did the same.

"Demon, do you still think you have a chance to win against us?" The pope asked. More powerful figures started to show up. King of Raizon, a Beastkin warrior with unfathomable strength, the leader of Ranger sect and a few thousand of their rouges.

*ROOOAAARRRR*

A few more dragon-like sound came from above. The first expression of Iron Guard soldiers was, cheerful. It was the Wyvern riders force of Goblinia. The Wyverns wore armors like chest plate and helmet. As for their weapons, their claws and fangs had been covered with pure and sharp iron. Their chest plates had a purple circle and inside the circle was a drawing of spearmen marching. This is the symbol of Goblinia military.

The Wyvern riders noticed the Iron Guards and descended towards them. There was at least a few thousand wyverns and their riders. They filled the inside of fort and the mountain path. Half chose to stay in the sky just in case.

The Wyvern rider that landed near Vik was different from others. While others were just hobgoblins with the height of a normal human, he was at the height of an Elf. When others wore Iron armor, his armor looked different.

"Adamantine?" Herjar exclaimed in surprise. The Iron Guards were also surprised. They didn't expect "that" person to personally come here. They could now understand the seriousness of the situation.

"Fa...ther?" Vik said, unable to hold back his surprise. The Adamantine armored warrior looked at him. He walked towards him and extended his hand. "Not bad my son, for you to have not ran away and bravely stay here in front of this monster, I'm satisfied" Vik's father said.

Vik's eyes were a bit teary, "I'm sorry father, I'm still weak! I let you down even though all these years have passed" Vik said while his head hung low. "Hahaha! Don't worry my boy, if someone always wins in life then his defeat will make him unable to recover but if someone faces countless defeats, then his success is set in stone! Remember, failure is the mother of success! It doesn't matter who laughed at you in the beginning, who has the last laugh is what matters more! So what if you faced defeat a few countless times? As long as your alive and can get back at your feet, there is always another time so don't let yourself down" Vik's father gave him a valuable lesson in life.

"Father..." Vik didn't know what to say. He was still weak. Three years have passed and his only strength is his speed. With speed alone, you can't defeat an enemy. You also need strength. He lacks in this area or he thinks.

Vik's father noticed Vik's thoughts so he laughed and said, "Hahaha! Are you worried that your weak? A man who has reliable and trustworthy friends is always someone strong! So what if you can't beat someone? Just gang bang him with your friends! Who cares about fair fighting! As long as you can win, anything is fine!" he said.

Vik and the rest awkwardly laughed. These guys completely forgot that there is a demon lord of a Hell is in front of them. Douji looked at the powerhouses surrounding him and laughed, "HAHAHAHAHA! DO YOU MEASLY MORTALS THINK YOU CAN DEFEAT ME? ME! KNOW YOUR PLACE!". His enormous power exploded like an angry volcano. Even the dragon emperors started to feel pressurized. The armies of elves couldn't stand such pressure that they started fainting and coughing blood.

"HAHAHAHAHA! YOU MERE MORTALS DARE TO DISTURB ME WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO HAVE MY FUN? DON'T THINK YOU CAN LEAVE HERE ALIVE!" Douji shouted. Even the queens and pope began to feel the pressure. The cardinals were having a hard time maintaining their flight. A demon lord of one of the 9 Hell is truly frightening. Even the continents most powerful figures showing up couldn't do anything.

Nobunaga only felt a simple breeze while others felt a class 8 hurricane. He wanted to release his power to suppress the pressure coming from Douji but decided against is since he could feel someone more dangerous coming and he did not want to attract attention towards himself.

As expected, soon Douji's aura was beginning to be slowly suppressed by some mysterious force. This power, it felt calming and peaceful but at the same time, it was violent. Douji looked behind him. The sky had a huge circle like gateway. A single yet beautiful women whose charm is enough to purge the world into wars, slowly descended.

Following her were something even more rare than the demon lord. Two Ents with jade like armor descended with her on the sides. Her figure, her gaze, her aura and her face, everything was enough to make any man in the world run wild. Even woman would be attracted to her because she is one divine beauty. She is, the great goddess of Nature, Goddess Alathia.

"How.... How could this be...? Is my eyes deceiving me? Is that really her?" The pope couldn't believe his old eyes and thought that he was seeing an illusion. Seeing a demon lord means you would never live to tell the tale, but seeing the goddess of Nature means, even if you don't live it is still worth it.

"It is...really the goddess! It's really her!" The Elven Queen exclaimed in joy. She or anyone else here never thought that they would get the chance to meet the goddess of nature herself! This is a god owned opportunity for those that were present.

Nobunaga kept an indifferent face while everyone was in awe. It's just her, so what's the big deal about? He already saw her once.

Alathia made a huge entrance because of Douji's appearance. Her gaze fell on Nirashi who was still on the ground, kneeling. Nirashi slowly looked up after feeling the gaze. Her eyes had become almost teary after seeing the one floating in the air. Alathia kindly smiled. Her gaze then turned towards Nobunaga, who was still unamused.

She lightly bowed her head in respect. Nobunaga also nodded his head. The ones seeing this mistook it that she kindly bowed to the pope and smiled at the blue dragon emperor..... A bunch of idiots indeed.

Her gaze became sharp and gave off a mountain of pressure. Her gaze fell on Douji. This time, it was his turn to be pressured. He couldn't handle the pressure that he knelt on the ground with one leg and used his mace to support. He couldn't even speak or even breath. The pressure was too much for him.

"You know what to do, don't you?" Alathia said in her captivating voice. That one sentence alone let everyone in a trance. Douji couldn't talk back and just said one word, "Yes". Alathia retracted her pressure and let him free. Douji threw Nobunaga one last look and disappeared right in front of everyone's eyes. When they looked for Alathia, she was also gone. The powerhouses also looked at each other and left the place.

The dragon riders, the dragon emperors, the elves and the Sylivians, everyone! They all left within a moments notice.

"Just what the hell happened?"
