"That WAS exhausting!" said Raiden as he threw himself on his bed, Raven laughed as she placed Zephyr in the cradle "It was fun for me to be honest, but I Never thought I'd be witness to Mira scolding Arthur like that!"

"Yeah she went in on him, to be fair, it was his fault for getting drunk in a gathering dedicated to kids!" said Raiden as Raven laughed, she laid down with Raiden who kissed her forehead saying "I love you"

"Me too, but not now, don't start, Zephyr is in the room agh aha hah stop" As Raiden started tickling her in the bed, Raven started laughing and screaming before Raiden suddenly stopped as he sensed a presence approaching "What? Oh? Huh? Why is he here?" said Raven, Sensing the same presence Raiden sensed "I'm not sure, I'll go see what's it about, maybe he needs a new body? I'm not sure"

Going downstairs Raiden waited a bit, before the doorbell rang, opening it, Raiden saw Fate standing there, Helmet, outfit and all, not that he had anything else to wear, since the body he inhabited was a Homunculi

"Good to see you again, chosen vessel of Gaia's essence." spoke Dr Fate, hearing that Raiden rolled his eyes as he said "Gaia's chosen has a Name, It's Raiden, Raiden Kagawa" Correcting Fate, Raiden let him in as he went to the living room

Fate sat down, saying "It would be impolite to address royalty by their given name." Raiden's eyebrows went up hearing Fate's words, as he smiled and said, "I supposed the Lords of Order approve of my future vision?"

"Hmm, indeed they do, but my purpose here diverges. I've come regarding the recent multiversal assaults. I've located an individual willing to offer insights, though he's hardly agreeable—rather, he's been a nemesis of mine for quite some time." spoke Fate, drawing Raiden in with his words, hearing that, Raiden thought for a bit then said, "Let me guess, it's that damned brat isn't it?"

"Yes, it indeed is. The Lord of Chaos himself, Klarion." spoke Fate, this made Merlin emerge as usual with his flowery flair and sat down next to Raiden "Good evening, esteemed lord of Order."

"Merlin," said Fate as he nodded his head, then turned to Raiden "Well? Are you willing to obtain information from him? Undoubtedly, he'll likely demand something in exchange." Hearing this, Raiden frowned, but, he was interested in the kind of information Klarion was going to provide, he was a prominent member of the Light and the Light has been proven to have some connection to Neil Quinn

"Fine, I'm interested in that information, Let's set up a meeting with him, as soon as possible," said Raiden, to which Fate nodded as he said "I've already foreseen and spoken with him. I can teleport him here, right now."

Narrowing his eyes at Fate's words, Raiden said "In my house? Where my child is? Are you joking?" this made Fate nod as he said "I understand. I presumed your residence would suffice, considering we're all present. I overlooked the fact that you now have a child. Let's convene elsewhere."

…

Deciding to hold the meeting in a random abandoned warehouse, Raiden, behind him Kori and Merlin, Raiden was without Scáthach for this meeting since he needed to leave someone capable of protecting Raven and Zephyr

"He'll be here any moment now," said Fate, as if he heard him, the dark red portal opened as Klarion emerged from it, wearing his signature dark suit and rocking his devil horns hair cut, Klarion spoke "Well, well, well! Look who decided to show up for little old me! Isn't that just precious? Normally, I'd conjure up some delightful gifts, perhaps a lethal eldritch poison or a monstrous creature from the dark dimension, but I wouldn't want to ruin the fun—today is just too important!"

"Klarion, Looks like you are still alive…." Said Raiden as he stared down at the childish wizard, But Klarion would have the final Laugh as he caught Raiden by surprise, saying "Yes indeed! And so are you. Hopefully, Eclipso didn't damage you too much. That would be such a bore!"

Opening his eyes wide, Raiden was about to say something when Klarion beat him to the punch "Oh? What, you're surprised? Oh, please! I'm one of the Lords of Chaos! I get that kind of information effortlessly." as he said that, Raiden said in an angry tone "Don't fuck with me, Even the Lords of Order didn't know about Eclipso, How do you know Klarion? Answer me!"

"Oh ho! Someone's MAD! Well, it's understandable! You've just given birth to a kid while knowing this world is DOOMED! Isn't that just delightful?" as he said those words, Raiden's anger increased as he tried to move in and beat Klarion but Fate stopped him as he cut him off with his arm from getting in between him and Klarion, saying "Klarion! Cease this taunting. If you provoke him further, I won't intervene next time. State your terms for the deal and then depart!"

Hearing that, Klarion dismissively waved his hands as he said"Fine! Fine! You all need to loosen up a bit! I was just making a fun joke! Anyway, I'm here to pass some information to you, Raiden, but of course, it comes with a few conditions…"

"Some Conditions….How do I even know the information you'll provide is Valid?" said Raiden, this made Klarion narrow his eyes as he said "I expected you would ask that…. So here's my freebie! The Dark Army!

Rank Ten… Ares, God of War!

Rank Nine… Eclipso, God's Wrath!

Rank Eight… The One! The Only! Yours truly! Lord of Chaos! Klarion!" spoke Klarion, this made Raiden open his eyes wide! He already knew about Ares and Eclipso, but he never knew who Ranked eighth, and it seems that Klarion is declaring himself as the Rank Eight

"Oh? Still not convinced? Fine! I'll carry on!

Rank Seven… Nekron! The God of Death. How did you think Nekron found the perfect Avatar of death? Yours truly was always close…

Rank Six… Magog, ThunderMan.

Rank Five… Neil Quinn, The Last Son of Earth… Well, not this Earth.

Rank Four… Trigon, The Inter-Dimensional Demon King.

Rank Three… FirstBorn, The God Who Answers After Dark.

Rank Two… Darkseid, The Left Hand of Darkness.

Rank One… Empty Hand, The Right Hand of Darkness." As Klarion finished the List, Raiden Realized that what Klarion was saying might be the truth, after all, three names stood out in the list, Magog, Neil Quinn, and First Born, two of them are Names, he's never heard of, while one of them, was confirmed by Gaia to be a part of the Dark Army, but the possibility of Klarion being a double Agent still remained, not only was he part of the Light, but also Part of the Dark Army, they could easily use Klarion to feed him false information

"Why are you here Klarion? The information you just revealed, I admit, I believe at least most of it is true, if not all of it, but why are you here? What is it that you desire, that makes you want to turn on them, and join me?" Asked Raiden, Klarion's answer will be Key for future events

"Seems like you've got it all twisted... I'm not here to join your little club. What do I desire? Chaos! I'm the lord of Chaos, after all. Anything that shakes up the order is what I live for. And what the Dark Army aims to accomplish? It's not my cup of tea. The only reason I even considered joining in the first place was because Empty Hand dangled chaos in front of me, and I couldn't resist."

"From that response, one can deduce that the Dark Army's desires do not align with Chaos. But I'm intrigued. Why wouldn't they? Isn't plunging the Multiverse into darkness the epitome of chaotic perfection?" spoke Merlin, this made Klarion turn to him and speak in disdain "chaotic perfection? How crude! They aim to obliterate all life across countless universes! A dark Multiverse is just another form of Order, merely draped in darkness! What I crave, what us Lords of Chaos seek, is pure chaos—a realm where good and evil collide endlessly! Not some world where one side triumphs over the other!"

Hearing those words, Merlin raised his eyebrows a bit and then turned to Raiden "Curiously, what he says holds truth. If darkness shrouds the world, it could be deemed orderly. Yet, if goodness reigns, it also maintains order. True chaos emerges from their clash..."

"Fine, I'm interested in the information now, I've confirmed that you aren't here to lie to me, so tell me what is the deal?" said Raiden, Allowing Klarion to finally reveal the information as to why he's here "Well, there you have it! Chaos, unfiltered chaos, that's what I crave! If you can assure me that chaos will reign supreme, then I might consider sharing the information you seek."

Thinking for a bit, Raiden turned to Merlin, then to Kori and Fate, before Finally looking at Klarion "I'm in, Not only that, I can guarantee that the Chaos I plan to create, will be on the highest level of chaos achieved on Earth, in all of its history!"

"Na na na! You've got to spill the beans! Words won't fool me, you know!" said Klarion, this made Raiden develop a sinister smile as he said "I want to be King! I will forcefully unite Earth! Wars on every part of the planet! But it doesn't matter, I will be King, of course, my goal is to unite Earth, but the Chaos generated while I seek that path? It will be such a chaotic path, the world itself has never witnessed such levels of Chaos"

"Raiden Kagawa! How dare you! Do you comprehend the gravity of your words? Such information is not worth such reckless behavior!" spoke Dr. Fate, he was enraged at Raiden's words, but Raiden simply shrugged as he said "I was going to do this regardless of what Klarion said….What? did you think the path of Kingship was peaceful? The world itself is flawed, and I shall do everything to fix it! Even if I have to destroy half of it!"

As those words left his mouth Dr. Fate started emitting brilliant Golden light as he said "The Lords of order will not stand for it" This made Raiden smile as Merlin and Kori powered up, he then said "Do you really want to try fighting now? It's a three vs. one, and I'd be able to take you out myself"

Realizing that winning is impossible, Fate left the warehouse, As Raiden turned around "Looks like he's going to rat me out, but it doesn't matter, the plan stays the same, he then turned to Klarion, What about you? Are you willing to be in on the fun?"

Laughing at what he just saw, Klarion said "This is intriguing! I never expected you to betray the Lords of Order!" this made Raiden Shrug as he said "I Don't like Order, things are too neat, I've always been more Chaotic, so Anyways, the information, spit it out"

"Sure, sure. Since we've struck a deal, I've got no reason to keep this under wraps. Besides, letting you in on this will stir up even more chaos! Neil Quinn isn't going solo. He's joined forces with FirstBorn, and they've amassed an army of super-powered individuals. And these aren't your run-of-the-mill villains—they're alternate versions of Justice League members. Oh, and here's the kicker: their plan isn't to strike Earth in one place. They're aiming to hit everywhere, all at once."

Hearing that, Raiden narrowed his eyes, thinking as he said "What about Neil Quinn and FirstBorn, what can you tell me about them? Individually?"

"I don't have details on their powers and weaknesses, but I do have some personal intel. Neil Quinn is the Last Son of a vanished Earth, wiped out from the multiverse, yet he survived the cataclysm. His goal? To resurrect his lost world. As for FirstBorn, he's shrouded in mystery. All I know is he obliterated the Greek Pantheon of his realm, bringing about the extinction of all life on his Earth."

Hearing that information, Raiden started to understand the backgrounds of his enemies as Klarion said "Of course, now that I've spilled the beans to you, I'm sure Empty Hand has caught wind of my betrayal. Don't count on getting any more info from me." said Klarion as he created a Dark Portal behind him, leaving the place

"Well, that was some Valuable information…." Said Raiden as he kept on thinking about how to handle the attack"Hmm, it appears that young Klarion's tidings may indeed hold truth. The whims of fate have aligned, it seems." Hearing Merlin's words he turned to the skies as he said, "Did you get all that?"

On cue, Fate flew back inside the warehouse "Yes, it was indeed valuable information... I must also concede that your ruse of feigning conflict with me played a crucial role in obtaining it."

"I mean, It's Klarion, He may be eighteen Billion years old, but deep down he is still a child"
