"Who are you?" A short old man that was a demon yelled while pointing his staff towards Sora who was sitting on the tree branch while looking towards the mountain where a battle between the fairy tail guild was fighting against a type of demon created by Zeref
"you do seem to have lost all of your memories of being a demon," Sora said calmly as he turned his attention back to the villagers living on this small island. the demon was stunned at Sora's words, and so was the rest of the demons who all turned towards Sora.
"you are also 50% human. it could explain how you all so easily accept being humans for so long... so let me help you remember." Sora said calmly as a magic circle appeared behind him, and with a flash of light, the pupils of every demon disappeared as their forgotten memories returned to them.
they all froze for some time, before looking around not knowing what to say or do for a moment they looked at Sora in confusion.
"I'm the Demon Lord... is that how you low-level demons greet your lord?" Sora asked calmly, the leader of the village was stunned hearing Sora's words, but looking at that long blue hair, and human-like appearance, a person quickly came to mind and he bowed before Sora.
"We greet demon lord Sora." He yelled, and the others quickly followed as they bowed in respect before Sora.
"Why are you living within this realm?" Sora asked calmly, the demon's eyes brightened while looking at Sora,
"My lord, after hearing you were sealed away, the 7 sins sent many demons into this world, hoping to find you. they had demons that looked mostly like humans, or the ones that could blind. but after 400 years, it brings us great shame that we forgot our goals. they gave birth to springs to carry on with their goals, while they returned to the demon lord, and we the of springs had slowly forgotten our goals and moved to live on this island where the Minotaur was once sealed." the village head said in shame,
"what's over there?" Sora asked as he pointed towards the faraway distance, where time was moving backward. everyone looked over there and their eyes widened as their village which was destroyed a moment ago was returning. the tribe leader forgot about Sora and rushed over there, along with everyone else.
"humans," Sora said softly, if this was the past, he would have killed them for such disrespect, but now a day he doesn't care much about little stuff like that.
not too far away, a man wearing a mask was restoring the village, before he suddenly froze as he turned to look at the person who was standing behind him with crossed arms.
"The Arc Of Time? I have never seen a human who can use that magic. This era really is filled with more talented wizards than the past." Sora said softly as he pulled out a cigar, which he calmly smoked,
"w-who are you?" the masked man asked as he stepped backward, Sora ignored him as he let out a poof of smoke from his mouth before looking towards the village which was restored, he thought for a moment before shaking his head.
"your magic is too weak to affect humans, so you're not much use to me. but i'm curious, was is a talented person like yourself here helping trash unease a fake demon? were you by chance trying to control the little thing?" Sora asked calmly, making the masked man uneasy. who was this person who was capable of calling that demon a little thing?
"Don't worry, I only use violence when I have no other opinions. I'm only curious. If I were to brainwash you and stuff you with power, could I give you enough power to turn back time by a few hundred years?" Sora said as he walked towards him for a moment, he reached out to grab him, but he dodged and got away.
Sora stopped for a moment before he sighed and headed towards the village, he had no time to waste on a small fly. the masked man's body was shaking, and for some reason, he felt as if he was standing before a great beast, completely helpless before Sora... that feeling was something that something she didn't like at all... she had to report this quickly. So, she quickly disappeared.
meanwhile, Sora ordered the tribes to gather in one spot. they shall do a blood sacrifice to open a portal to the demon realm. but hearing this, they hesitated, who would just cut themselves upon hearing it was for some kind of sacrifice?
"sigh, it seems to be part human changed your mindset. but there is one thing that will always remain true about a demon." Sora said as he pulled out golden blood from his system storage, as soon as everyone saw this blood, they snapped
uncontrollable rage overwhelmed them, it was a rage like none other. a rage that went past the limit of what a human could understand, this rage was... endless and ever-growing. their eyes turned blood red, as they saw a vision,
There you were, coming from a hunt. you had a loving wife waiting for you at home, and a beautiful daughter waiting for you. you had gone out of your way to hunt for a rare magical animal for your daughter's birthday, you knew it was her favorite and couldn't wait to see the look on her face,
But upon arriving home and opening the door, you froze at the sight of two dead bodies, two naked bodies lying there. they were none other than your wife and daughter. deep pain overwhelmed you at the sight of this, what could have happened?
but you knew a spell that could show the past, so you used this spell, and there you saw what happened. you cast the spell and watched as the event of the past happened, you wanted as a white-haired man appeared, and forced himself upon your wife. Your wife fought back with everything she had, but it was pointless.
your daughter tried to help your mother, but the white-haired man seeing her threw himself at her as well. they were left helpless, and unwilling to endure these humiliations, and they ended up taking their own lives, but this didn't stop the white-haired man to keep on going until he had his fill.
Your eyes went blank seeing all of this happen, you knew who did this, and enraged you shot out of your house and went to see him, but he was far more powerful than you and easily surpassed you, but called for a council meeting, unwilling to accept this. but every high-ranking figure chose the white-haired man's side.
the past and already happened, become the bigger person and move on they said... who the fuck would accept this? enraged promised to make them pay for this injustice. fuel by your rage, your power reached a new level and you shot forward toward revenge, you were shockingly on the same level as the strongest of them, but you were outnumbered,
seeing how all of them treated you like you were in the wrong, your rage only grew, it grew and grew, and with it, you got stronger and stronger. you slaughtered many gods, and badly injured all of them. the millions of gods dropped to a small few hundred under your wrath, but in the end, you still lost, they expelled you into the void, where you were slowly to die... but, how could you die? how could you die when the person who did those things to your family lives?
the fact you were going to die only made you angrier and angrier, until the rage reached a point that your body just exploded, but your body gathered, taking the form of a... world,
"... are you going to help me return home, or are you going to do what?" Sora asked as he put the blood away. the tribe members all pulled out sharp weapons and stood around in a circle, they would not be able to rest so long as the gods live.
meanwhile, just outside the village, a group of people and a cat entered the village, shocked that it had returned just when it was destroyed.
"w-what are they doing?" the blonde-haired woman, who looked a lot like Anna said in shock while looking at the demon which was standing in a circle, allowing its blood to flow towards the middle.
"they are killing themselves," Erza said in shock, from the moment she arrived on this island, she felt a strange connection to these villagers. but someone or something among them had this stronger connection with her, even her armor was shaking slightly,
Slowly, following this feeling, she looked at a roof, where a young man around the same age as her, was sitting, looking down upon the scene happening below. but he too slowly turned to look at her, and once they meant, Erza had to use her magical energy to stop her armor from simply flying out.
Natus on the other hand, the pink-haired teen with a scarf rushed forward to stop the villagers, but he was stopped by Sora who gather the mana around him to cast two spells on him at the same time, and cast [Stun[, leaving Natsu frozen in ice. and [Quench] and dispel the next outgoing Fire spell.
Natsu tried to use his fire magic, but he found it was disappeared. Sora cast many layers of [Quench], so he would not be using his magic any time soon. Seeing this, everyone moved to get ready for battle, But Erza pulled them back as they were no match for Sora.
"grab Natsu and run... I will hold him off." Erza said softly, she didn't know if he was going to be Sora's match, she had this feeling that her armor was going to be useless in this battle. and with the look in Sora's eyes, she knew he was far stronger than her.
"No need, after some time the spell would lose its effect and he would be free," Sora said calmly as he went on to cast [Stun] on everyone, leaving them all frozen still and only able to move their eyes balls while trying to move.
"What a unique dragon slayer... did she seems to have changed the way dragon slayer magic works, or could it have been someone else," Sora said as he studied Natsu, he could tell the type of dragon slayer Natsu was, was different from the others. he didn't know if Natsu would turn into a dragon or not, and he didn't care.
"and that power is hidden within you... interesting." Sora said softly, that power within Natsu could even kill a god if used correctly. hell, Natsu might defeat him one day with that power. So, sora was interested in taking it for himself and studying it. Sora walked past Natsu and looked at the cat which was frozen in mid-air,
"you not form this world... I never really got the chance to explore a parallel world, I should look into it." Sora said softly, he had never seen a cat that could fly before, anyways, he turned his attention to the blood-haired girl
"Heartfilia... you look a lot like her, I almost just want to snap her make right now," Sora said with narrowed eyes, while holding Lucky's chin, forcing her to look at him in the eyes, but with those words, Lucky eyes shrink in horror, and one of her keys glowed, followed by Aquarius appearing, looking at Sora with a deep frown,
"Why are you still touching her?" She asked with a deep frown, Sora let go of her, but before he could speak, Aquarius turned to look at the demons behind Sora.
"you're trying to return home?" She asked softly, Sora stretched his head for a moment, before sighing softly, as he nodded. but with her words, he remembered the demons behind him, so he had them stop, leading to them falling to the ground, with shaky bodies from the blood lose
"It turned out demons were sent to search for me years ago, now that I found them I can return..." Sora said softly while avoiding eye contact, Aquarius heart dropped slightly seeing this, what was Sora hiding from her? was he cheating?
"What are you hiding." She asked as she held tightly to the Urn, she would flood this her island in rage if the next words out of Sora were not to her liking. Sora seeing this sighed softly, as he went on to explain
"the gods have my mother's soul, I will be going to war with them again. for the past hundreds of years, they had her, you know what the gods are like." Sora said softly, as he pulled out a cigar to calm himself down,
"..." Aquarius froze hearing Sora's words, no wonder he was avoiding eye contact, what can he do? turn his head away and not save his mother as doing this would risk the world, or fight the gods and risk the destruction of this world.
"... don't get involved with this, I don't wish to have to fight your race once more," Sora said as a magic circle appeared under Aquarius, Aquarius was suddenly forced back into her world, not allowed to return for the time being.
Sora sealed Lucky's keys, before turning towards Erza, with a complicated look, he sighed before he held out his palm, and a bunch of weapons and armor came out.
"I might be in danger since I approached you... but since you found My armor, I will let you hold on to them. take it as a gift from a shity father who couldn't give you much in life, but pain" Sora said softly as he bit his finger and went on to mark each armor and sword with his blood, which disappeared with a bright light.
"well, this seems to be all of it. I guess I should give you a real eye," Sora said softly as he placed a palm over her right eye, which was not a real eye, as she lost her real eye at a young age. the fake eye suddenly popped out, stunning Erza, but soon she felt a real eye had replaced the fake one.
"I call this fate... Your step-sister created the guild which you now call home. something which I couldn't give." Sora said with a shake of his head, and with a flick of his finger, the armor flew back into Erza's dimensions, and he turned and left towards the demons, while healing them all, returning them to their peak,
Holding out his palm, Sora cut his arm, allowing for a bunch of blood to spill out and mix with the blood on the ground, causing the blood on the ground to raise into the sky, forming a circle that slowly began to glow with the passageway.
"My lord, please take us with us as our mission is complete." the tribe leader said while no one knew, how could he remain here after feeling such rage towards the gods, even if it cost their lives, they wanted to do something which would bring the downfall of the gods,
"Do you want to follow me?" Sora said, to which all of the demons yelled at once, Sora turned towards the sky, and asked the demon which was hiding all along from everything below.
"m-my son?" the tribe leader was in shock seeing his son, did he not kill his son after seeing he was a demon? that event destroyed him, after all this was his beloved son, but seeing he had turned into a monster, he had no choice, yet he lived.
"I'm willing to follower the Demon Lord," the demon who flew from the sky hugged his father for a moment, before bowing toward Sora.
"then go to your home world," Sora said as the portal showed the scene on the other side, a world filled with huge cities, demons flying all over the place, along with some demonic beasts, and dragons,
moved, the Demons entered while Sora stood there. and once everyone entered, Grey the Ice magic among them was the first to break free, and once he was able to move, he didn't know what to do.
"Who are you," Grey asked with a serious look, why were these demons calling Sora a demon lord? what was a demon lord?
"I'm the demon Lord, the Lord of All demons," Sora said with a smile, as he looked within the portal where he saw the army which had gathered, awaiting the return of their Demon Lord. as Sora was about to step in, Natsu broke free, followed by the others, and they, of course, were not just going to let him entered.
Erza shot forward, this was her father. He wanted to abandon her, the least he could do was sit down and explain things to her. She grew up without a mother or a father, wondering if she was ever loved or not. yet her father just randomly pop up, and now was about to leave.
"You don't need a father or a mother, If I return alive, I will try and be the father you should have had from birth. if I can't return. Your Step-sister built a guild where everyone can be accepted, you had a family all along. something I might not be able to replace," Sora said with a shake of his head, before stepping into the portal as the portal closed, Sora turned around wanting to tell her about her mother, but the portal closed before he could do so, after a moment, he shrugged.
"Where are the lords of sins?" Sora asked calmly to the armored demons who were kneeling before him,
"they are in a deep slumber after the injuries they got from the battle against the devil." one of the soldiers said softly, Sora rubbed his chin slightly before nodding.
"Take me to them, I shall heal them," Sora said and so, another war between Gods and demons was on its way,
