*1 Day Before The True War*

After a bit of a rough morning Haile, Nalisa and Clernet were now having lunch in a 5 star restaurant down town, as they ate the table was silent as none of them spoke.

Nalisa glanced up at both Haile and Clernet who were eating casually like nothing happened."Um, Clernet are you ok?."She asked checking on her, she didn't know what happened when Haile went to talk to her.

."Huh, yes I'm fine, why?."Clernet looked up in surprise, did she looked down, she wasn't even thinking of anything, literally nothing."Did you think Haile did something to me, don't worry I'm ok."

*Clank*

Suddenly Haile dropped his fork on his plate and he gazed out the restaurant door, his expression turned dark and chilling as a golden light in his eyes brightened, Nalisa instantly noticed this change and became concerned.

."Master, what's going on?."Nalisa asked seriously, she knew he did not get cold for no reason, it must be something big.

Clernet gazed at Haile as well, her eyes were filled with dread, the aura of bloodlust she felt from Haile at this moment was comparable to those old great Demon Lords that have slaughtered entire nations.

.'*Sigh* That girl.'Haile shook his head thinking to himself as he glanced through the void and all the way to India like the True God he was.

Nalisa looked around curious and confused, she closed her eyes trying to sense around but in the end found nothing of significance importance, she looked at Clernet who also glanced at her.

Haile sighed shaking his head again as he pulled back his consciousness, he looked over to Nalisa and Clernet who was looking at him all confused, they were waiting on him to say something.

."Nalisa, it's time, the war has already started."Haile said now calm taking back up his fork, he had felt a huge fluctuations of energy filled with divinties with various attributes like death.

At first he thought that maybe it was Hades starting something and he remembered that Hera was with him so he got angry, now it turns out it was her own doing.

."Huh, already, master I thought it was scheduled for tomorrow?."Nalisa was surprised, were the plans changed without her notice, she glanced down to her plate a bit uncomfortable.

Haile sighed again."Nah, it's that damn girl Hera, went on her own and started the war earlier than expected, I'm not sure if the others have fully prepared themselves."He said eating his breakfast.

."War?."Clernet asked with confusion, what war were they speaking about, did he just casually admit to wanting to start a war and that someone he knew had started it first, what is wrong with these people.

Haile nodded casually shrugging his shoulders."Well, my women seem to believe whole heartedly that we are strong, which we are not in the grand scheme and you know this, so this war is to be a training ground for them."He said thinking of all of them.

."Mmm....you seem to care about them alot huh."Clernet said, he was such a confusing man, how can someone so heartless be so lovely at the same time.

He shrugged again."I try my best I guess, though I'm curious how much power have you recovered so far, it's been a few days already."He asked her, he could check himself but he probably won't see much.

."Now that you mentioned it, my power is actually recovering slower than usual, I don't know what system you use here but I feel my strength is still far beneath yours."Clernet said looking at her hands, she clenched the fork in them.

Haile nod as he looked at her statistics...

As he thought, Haile glanced up at Clernet who tilt her head at him staring at her.'At first I was at least able to see her combat strength but now I can't even see that, is this some kind of technique?.'He thought to himself at this curious scene.

."I guess little Haile is pretty strong huh, at my current level this is enough to be one of my door guards, that is no small feat."Clernet said honestly as she praised him without thought.

Haile's eyelids twitched at the disrespect but he said nothing, Nalisa on the other hand did not appreciate that one bit."How could you say that Clernet, are you looking down on my master!?."She asked with a rare demanding and forceful tone.

."Huh, what, how am I looking down on him, I said it was impressive???."Clernet said legitimately baffled, she wondered if she said something wrong.

Haile rubbed his chin a little, maybe her statement had something to it, he knew she was extremely powerful, way beyond anything he could hope to reach right now unless he cheats.

."Clernet do me a favor, release a bit of your aura at me, I want to get a grasp of your abilities so I'd know where to position you on my team."Haile said looking at her calmly but deep down he was curious.

Clernet didn't see any problem with it, she took a breath and suddenly clenched her abdomen, from her body a smokey red aura outlined and took form around her.

The air in the restaurant instantly chilled and an oppressive pressure took form pushing everything down, it wasn't even just a weight on the body, it was a weight on the very soul itself wanting to crush it.

Haile's eyes narrowed slightly.'As I thought, Peak, Half Dragon God Class, it's also right at the edge to Dragon God.'He thought with intrigue, he also remembered her mentioning that this was the level of one of the door guards of her clan.

.'Interesting'.

~~

*India*

As the undead army swept through the states of India, they left nothing but absolute destruction and torment, in some places the ones that bearly survived were not any better than the ones that died.

On the ground were no corpses as even after their souls had transcended the mortal constraints of the flesh, their bodies now stood as soldiers for the underworld God to kill their own people.

In this troubled time the only slightly saving grace of a few were the people from the church of Shiva, they sent in their best people with hopes not of saving everyone, but as many as they could.

But in the end it was futile, in just a matter of hours the first state fell, that was the Aarav State, it was different this time around, they were the state hit the hardest in the last struggle, it was only natural that they would be the first to be wiped out completely.

In the past maybe there would have been survivors but that was when the undead were being led by just a single undead general in each state but now, the undead generals were numerous amongst the group.

They were now instead being led by 5 Undead Gods, each of which possesses power equal to a Mid, Major God Class and one of them had the power of a High, Major God Class.

These 5 Undead Gods were extremely tall standing at impressive heights of up to 20 feet, they were draped in dark violet cloaks and all carried with them a large mist like scythe that portrayed hints of death itself.

At the top of their cloaks was a letter, one had D, another had E, then A continuing to T and then H, all coming together to spell out the name, DEATH, they were the Pentagram of Death.

.""Hahahaha look at those bugs screaming and begging for mercy, it's so fun to watch them squirm"".

One of the Undead Gods spoke, his voice deathly and hollow, on his cloak was the letter H, consequently he was the weakest member of the Undead Gods.

."*Hmpm* it's their fault for being born so weak, they should instead blame their creator, our creator Lord Hades is quite generous, he made us strong."The Undead God with T on their cloak spoke with disgust as if repulsed by the very existence of the word human.

Another Undead God nodded, her cloak marked with the letter D, standing calmly she overlooked the destruction created by her brothers and sisters.

."Come on T, it's not their fault their weak, we are just too strong, so naturally we should be the ones on top, we will conquer this world and offer it to our masters."E spoke with a playfully tinge to his voice as he shrugged casually.

It was really a strange sight, how could beings created by an unruly and cold Death God be so diverse in their emotional qualities, there was one Undead that found this strange.

It was A, he stood in the center of them all, he was at the peak of the pentagram deities holding together the song of death, it also seemed he carried more awareness than his fellow Undead God Brethren.

*Boom*!!!

*Boom*!!!

*Boom*!!!

Several large explosions went off signaling the conquer and destruction of the Aarav State, population of 12m to 5m, now 0, a total obliteration.

E chuckled playfully."That was quite fast and easy, we didn't even have to do anything, those Hindu Gods are all pussies and weaklings it seems like."He said casually as he stepped forward on the air.

Back through the gateway of Posidon Hades chuckled slightly at this as well."Hahaha, one down 12 more to go, Shiva I wonder on long you can stand in silence watching your people be destroyed."He said cruelly as his red orb eyes flashed.

."Brother don't let down your guard, we've caught them by surprise so they may still be in preparation, we should destroy as much as we can before he shows up."Posidon said clenching his teeth and fist, his fury could still not be contained.

Hera glanced at him."Big brother Posidon, why does it seem like you are prepared to leave your life here, do you not think we will win?."She asked him, hidden within her eyes was a merciless glint.

."*Sigh* Hera, my darling little sister, we...*sigh* as strong as Hades and I may be, even at our peak we would not be able to destroy the Hindus, it's just a fact, they are the strongest faction in the world."Posidon said, though he may not want to admit it, it still needed to be said, it would be delusional otherwise.

Hera rolled her eyes.'What it feels to be apart of a weak faction I guess, if all of husband's servants and his wife me, were to show ourselves then the entire world would kneel in an instant.'She thought to herself, they were basically broken.

*Shhhhh*!!!

*Crack*!!!

Suddenly across the realm, a sound of shattering glass echoed out along with the sound of strong wind and an oppressive aura that caused the void to tremble.

The trio Posidon, Hades and Hera frowned gazing through the gateway, they knew that familiar feeling, Hera smirked.'About time.'

~~

*Aarav State*

Back in the country of India, almost as though time had stood still and froze everything a dark blue hue coated all things within vision.

Five letters that spelt death, the Pentagram Death Gods, they gazed calmly towards a small crack in space-time, it opened like a split as though it was cut with a sword.

Stepping through the portal was Mahabali who frowned deeply as he gazed upon the mayhem, the might of a God of Death was truly apparent at this moment.

Mahabali floated down from above as he touch the ground with grace, on the floor he saw no bodies but within the army were undead both adults and children, it was not hard to figure out what had happened.

He saw the tattered clothing of some of the undead monster, he shook his head with a sigh, it was unfortunately for the damned souls of the dead who perished before his arrival, they could no longer be saved, their souls had been devoured to further strengthen the undead army

Mahabali now for the first since arriving looked up, he glanced pass the Undead Gods, straight through the gateway and into the underworld at Hades, Posidon and Hera."You have committed a heinous crime against our people and for that you shall be no more."He said calmly as his eyes glint with fighting intent and divine power.

Over in the underworld Hades scoffed."Just you alone, Shiva gets more arrogant by the day, I don't even need to move to destroy trash like you."He said with his gravely voice.

The five Undead Gods heard this and understood their master's words, T grinned, he stretched out his hand."Undead kill him!."He said chaoticly.

.""Oruuuuuu!!!"".

*Clank*!!!

*Shhhhhhhh*!!!

Like a tsunami, a wave of endless undead formed and rushed towards Mahabali, they climbed atop each other and continuously pulled themselves forward with the desire to each a Gods flesh.

From undead generals to captains, even undead Lords who were equal to a Satan class was amongst this group and bearly blended in like ants surrounding a piece of meat.

Through all this Mahabali was calm as he glanced around being covered by a shadow that blocked out what little sun was left, soon he was in darkness and all he could see was bones.

."*Hmpm* do you think this can keep me here!."Mahabali spoke as he held out his hand infront himself, he clenched down on empty space but instead of nothing he somehow grabbed a blue sphere which he pushed his other hand into drawing out a long shiny sword.

*Shin*!!!

Mahabali took a breath as he closed his eyes, he released his dark blue divine aura coating both his body and sword, his eyes then flashed open as he swung down.""Cleave, Asura!"".

*Ching*!!!

*Whoooshh*!!!

*BOOOM*!!!!

A giant sword slash appeared from his sword tip, ruthlessly and instantly tearing through the undead wall that had form around him, the sun gently peered in from the crack he made in the undead wall.

*Shhhhh*!!!

Mahabali jumped up into the air flying with intense speed escaping his enclosure, he flew up high looking down at a conglomerate ball of zombies.

.""Oruuuuuuuu!!!"".

From the Zombie ball multiple boney skeleton Undead Lords hands came out pointing toward Mahabali.""Ancient Dead Magic:Vampire Ghost""."A voice of a million Undead spoke at once bring an irie and chilling sensation.

This was the same ability a single undead general tried to use on a group of human magic in the past but on a way greater scale channeled by over a hundred Thousand Undead Lords.

*Shhhh*!!!!

A large black magic circle formed in the air and from it 12 extremely hungry ghost beings took shape and flew towards Mahabali who frowned and went on guard.

The hungry ghost surrounded him but with a few swings of his sword he took down three of them but it seems even he couldn't kill them all at once and one bit him on the hand, instantly his face turned white.

."AgGh, damn you, what the hell is this."Mahabali groaned in pain as he held his arm, he quickly used an instant teleportation spell to get away, he wouldn't be able to use it again in a short time.

Mahabali looked down at his hand that was bitten, it had shriveled up and turned white and rotten in appearance."I've underestimate you."He said through gritted teeth bearing the painful sensation.

.""Hehehehehehe!"".×Millions

The undead generals all chuckled ominously in sync, this was their ability so they were of course happy about this development.

~~

Over in the underworld Hera was actually quite impressed.'So this is the true terror of big brother Hades, I've heard of it once, Synced Control.'She thought glancing at her brothers.

This was a powerful ability Hades had, usually when he creates undead they have access to their own intelligence based on their strength, but this ability Synced Control allowed all his undead of the same type to form as one in mind and even body.

Right now Mahabali was not fighting against over a hundred Thousand Undead Lords, he was actually only fight one with the strength of a million, so even a Peak, Major God like him if caught off guard could be dealt a major blow.

."Hahaha, arrogant fuck, think that because the Hindu faction is invincible that he is invincible also, trash, go home and call Shiva."Hades spoke with comtemp, he was not even interested in this Mahabali, that's why he didn't even bother to move at all.

Hera smirked.'The fun has only now began.'

~~

All across the world, even from various dimensions and divine holes a multitude of beings had felt the turbulent divine power of this battle.

Almost instantly, they got the feeling that a concept like peace had all but been lost already and the only way to survive was to come with your own army.

Two divine treaties were ripped apart so easily, maybe a war unlike anything they have every seen is to take place soon.

~~

*Underworld*

*Lucifer's Office*

Sirzechs Lucifer could almost cry, he had his hands on his temple massaging them and a groan was let slip from his mouth, infront of his desk standing was a great beauty, silver hair and eyes, lips plump and breast jiggling with every breath, it was Grafia.

."*Sigh* Haile, Grafia where is Haile."Sirzechs asked feeling overwhelmed and miserable.'How could this happen, how, I've spent so many years trying my best to avoid another great war but now almost instantly a WORLD war could possibly take place.'

Grafia was still as calm as could be, she shrugged her shoulders."I don't know, how could I."She said in her own complicated thoughts.

."Then go look for him!!!."Sirzechs said with frustration, he then froze catching back himself, he looked at Grafia."Uh, I'm sorry Grafia, i didn't mean to shout at you, I'm just...."

Grafia bowed her head."I understand your majesty Sirzechs Lucifer."She said before turning around and leaving the room.

Sirzechs seeing her leave held out his hand towards her but in the end didn't say anything and one day he may definitely regret it, very much so.

~~

In another part of the underworld, specifically the Grimory mansion, locked in her bedroom was Venelana, she was on the bed with her knees to her chest as she stare at a mirror showing a reflection of herself.

Outside the door was Zeoticus, he knocked multiple times as he rest his head against it."Honey, please open the door, let's talk, have I done something wrong, please tell me I'll try my best."He said anxiously.

Suddenly so out of the blue his beautiful wife Venelana had lock herself in their room, it has been a few days already, it all started when he asked her to have sex.

He even prepared a romantic dinner and everything, but she just broke down crying and ran away locking herself in their bedroom with no explanation.

.'Am I so bad at sex, but we have two children, I can't be that bad, right.'Zeoticus thought to himself as he scratched his head with frustration.

."Honey please, open the door, you have everyone worried, please don't do this to us, let us just talk, you can tell me anything, this is getting ridiculous."Zeoticus said shaking his head, women and their mood swings, it just gets more out of control as they age.

In the room Venelana had heard all he had been saying to her over the these past few days but then she heard him say something that brought an intense spark to her eyes.

.""You can tell me anything"".

Venelana grit her teeth angrily, for the first time in days she looked at the door, she hesitated just slightly before pushing it back down and standing.

She walked towards the door slowly but steadily, her feet felt heavier than ever before but she continued on with increasing velocity.

Stopping infront of the door Venelana knew what she must do, it was going to hard and painful for everyone but she couldn't keep on living like this, it was not fair for Zeoticus or for herself.

Venelana took a deep breath and sighed before unlocking the door and with that she felt a sense of sudden liberation and peace.

*Squeak*

The door opened and standing behind it was a now relieved Zeoticus who was suffering from eager desperation, when he saw his wife his eyes lit up."Honey, you're fine, thank goodness."He said as the relief in his eyes became more apparent.

Venelana didn't say anything, she gazed at him for awhile just gathering her thoughts and her courage.

Zeoticus tilt his head with confusion noticing a strange disconnect and dissonance in the way his wife now looks at him, he had a bad feeling in his heart as it skipped a beat unintentionally.

."H-honey, what's wrong, is everything alright, what's bothering you."Zeoticus spoke softly smiling and trying to be as warm and harmless as possible, he stepped forward slightly reaching for her hand and received the shock of his life.

Venelana pulled back her hand from him and took a step back to distance herself, Zeoticus's hand was left awkwardly grabbing at air, his face twisted in confusion watching her speechlessly."Wha.."That was all that slipped through his mouth.

."Zeoticus....I'm sorry...but....we can't be together anymore..."....

*3:54pm*

*1 Day Before The True War*

Haile, Nalisa and Clernet was now back at the hotel where they were staying, they were actually getting ready to leave for the airport back to Japan, or to Japan for Clernet.

All their stuff had already been packed and the driver had been called, Haile had just one more thing to do now, go look for those three before he leave.

Clernet glanced at him looking all distracted, she scoffed."You get attached pretty easily huh, I can see you are the type to get your heart broken regularly."She said to him not caring how it came off.

Haile raised an eyebrow at her."What are you on about, I can also see you've never been in a relationship, aren't you like a million years old, even the sun don't touch you.....
