Jin was suddenly surrounded by a dark yet luminous aura.

His hair was a shining dark gray.

His eyes were silver and had a certain coldness to it.

This was Jin’s Eclipse Form. The form that allows him to use his Eclipse element as he pleased.

“Oh! Sparkly.”

Miko said as he clapped in amazement.

“I wonder how-”

Before Miko could finish speaking a silver light flashed before his eyes, and Jin was suddenly directly in front of him.

*BOOM!*

He was hit by a heavy and hard to follow blow, and was sent flying outside of the district.

*BOOM!*

He crashed through several buildings in the 5th District.

“Cough! Cough!”

He laid in a crater choking on his own blood.

He could tell without checking that his insides were a mess, and his bones were shattered.

If it continued on like this, he would die before long.

“Primordial Recreation!”

Azure light covered his body and instantly healed his injuries.

He sprung to his feet and was about to head back, when he saw something falling out of the sky.

*BOOM!*

It crashed through several buildings and ripped open the ground before stopping completely.

After checking what it was, Miko saw Kaido laying in a crater like he was earlier.

It seems like he was sent flying by Jin as well.

The main difference between him and Miko was that Kaido wasn’t as injured.

He silently got up and fixed his broken arms and bent up legs with a cracking sound.

“This is troublesome.”

He said as he walked out of the crater.

He looked and saw Jin silently looking down on him.

He raised a finger and a dark gray orb appeared at tip of it.

He threw it towards Kaido and Miko.

“?!”

Miko instantly covered his feet in lightning and accelerated out of the district.

Kaido on the other hand stood his ground.

“Behemoth, full throttle.”

*BOOM!*

The entire district shook as he said those words.

A thunderous roar could be heard coming from inside of him.

Far away in another corner of the city, Alec’s body suddenly shook.

“What’s wrong?”

Mari asked him.

“My demon blood just reacted to something.”

Alec answered.

‘Who would’ve thought that not only Tiamat, but my other ancestor was in this city, although it seems to be contained in something.’

He thought.

“ I’ll go check it out.”

Meanwhile, Kaido’s red eyes glowed furiously as he lifted his hands over his head.

*BOOM!*

The ground under him started bursting open as if it was experiencing immense strain.

The miniature eclipse from Jin suddenly grew and crashed into him.

*BOOOOOM!*

A giant explosion occurred when the two collided.

Every building in the district started to be erased, along with everyone in the area.

Jin silently watched as the explosion faded out.

“….?!”

He was shocked to see Kaido still in one piece with his hands still in the air.

Everything else in a few mile radius were erased and an abyss was left with Kaido and the spot he was standing on as the only thing left.

Kaido was in a bad state.

His clothes were reduced to rags and his muscular body, that was covered with wounds, was left in the bare.

“He actually survived my Eclipse Element?”

Jin said in shock.

Kaido fell to his knees and breathed heavily.

His red eyes started glowing once again and he stood up with much difficulty.

“ROAR!”

Another thunderous roar came from inside his body, which caused the District to shake again.

Miko who had escaped and returned looked at Kaido oddly.

(What the hell?!)

Tia suddenly shouted in his mind.

“What’s wrong?”

Miko asked.

(There’s a Higher Being inside that boy!....No, it would better to say that it’s the power of a Higher Being….)

“So you’re saying that Kaido’s a proxy?”

Miko asked in shock.

(No, he’s not a proxy but he’s extremely close.)

“What do you mean?”

(I can’t explain it well, but in simple terms his body has a regalia infused into it which shouldn’t be possible.)

Miko could hear the confusion in Tia’s voice.

(I couldn’t sense it at all earlier. It’s like that boy’s body is a container trapping a higher being’s essence in it.)

“Which higher being?”

(The Unconquerable Beast that rules the earth, Behemoth.)

Behemoth was an enormous monster that is said to rule the earth in primal times. It is mentioned in several writings all which stated it to be unbeatable by mortals and could only be tamed by God.

It’s said to have unimaginable strength, so much that it’s clash with its sea counterpart Leviathan is said to be able to destroy the world.

No one knows what exactly it is, but it’s said to be a monster who could be a buffalo, elephant, rhino, hippo or even a dinosaur. In the end it’s a powerful monster.

Not only that, it’s also considered to be a demon just like leviathan. He was a huge soldier of Satan, usually depicted as an elephant with a big round belly, waddling on two feet. He was the infernal watchman, and also presided over the gluttonous banquets and feasts. It is said that he also enjoyed a certain renown for his voice, being regarded as Hell's official demonic singer.

“Behemoth? That explains Kaido’s strength and pressure."

(Yeah, but Behemoth is in a coma after his regalia got destroyed 100 years ago. But that regalia is now inside that boy….)

“Is this MYTH’s doing?”

Alec asked Mari while examining Kaido’s body.

“Biological experiments like this are Genesis’ line of work, but it does look like our handiwork. But looks like it was done in secret by one of our branches, since I’ve never heard of this.”

She looked at Alec.

“Are you angry? Behemoth was your branch’s third ancestor after all.”

“Angry? I’m intrigued. I didn’t know something like this was possible. I want to study this boy.”

Kaido jumped and flew hundreds of feet in the air and reached Jin.

He threw a punch with all of his might. Jin created a barrier with his eclipse aura.

*BOOM!*

The barrier shattered and the air itself shook.

Jin caught Kaido’s fist without moving an inch back.

He used his Night element ability to negate the attack.

His eclipse form was combination of his Night and Day form, which meant he possessed all their abilities.

A dark light appeared in his palm as he slammed it onto Kaido’s chest.

*BOOM!*

Kaido was blown away with a large hole in his chest.

He fell in the abyss, however a gigantic hand stretched out and swat Jin away like a fly.

This hand was golden and covered in scales.

“What the hell was that?!”

Miko shouted in surprise.

Kaido flew out of the abyss with golden dragon wings on his back.

He flew towards Jin, who created several miniature eclipses behind him.

The eclipse started firing beams towards Kaido, who maneuvered through the air and dodged them.

A red aura appeared around his fist as he came in striking distance of Jin.

Jin didn’t back away and covered his fists with dark light.

*BOOM!*

The two’s fist clashed and sent shockwaves across the district.

Miko was hit with one of these shockwaves and was blown away with his blood churning in his body.

Jin and Kaido then clashed their fist again and another shockwave spread across the district.

By this time, every part of the district which wasn’t apart of the abyss was flatten and reduced to rubble.

*BOOM!*

Kaido was sent crashing into the earth by Jin.

Even with his immense strength, he wasn’t a match for jin who was like an Eclipse God.

Kaido slowly got to his feet once again, even more bent up than before.

His wounds were healing, but they couldn’t keep up with the rate he was getting injured.

“Looks like I have no other choice.”

Kaido’s eyes started to have a gold hue in the center, as he spoke.

“Fafnir, Unleash!”

*ROOOAAAR!*

An even louder roar came from within Kaido’s body.

It was like one more beast had joined up with the one earlier to unleash this earth shattering roar.

(I’m so done with you humans!)

Tia shouted in Miko’s head.

(Not only behemoth, but even Fafnir’s power was trapped inside his body! He's like an Artificial Dual Proxy!)

“An artificial Dual Proxy?”

Miko was shocked out of his mind.

“Rooar!”

Kaido released a deafening roar as his hair grew longer, his body became more muscular, and his eyes turned bright gold.

He was surrounded by wild golden aura.

“Motherfucker turned into a super saiyan!”

Shouted Miko.

He failed to noticed that Kaido had dragon scales on his arms and legs.

“The dragon Siegfried slew, Fafnir. I heard that he was in a coma as well. Just where did you people get his broken regalia?”

Alec asked Mari.

“Could it be that you’re the ones who destroyed the regalia in the first place?”

Mari didn’t answer and just stared at Kaido.

“…….”

Kaido silently looked at Jin who just stared at him in return.

And then-

The two suddenly disappeared.

*BOOOM!*

They reappeared in the sky punching each other in the face.

They separated and Kaido created a gold orb surrounded by a red hue in his palm, and threw it.

Jin turned into a beam of dark light and dodged.

*BOOOM!*

The orb hit the ground and destroyed the rest of the district.

This was the second district this battle destroyed.

Jin, in his beam form, shot towards Kaido with miniature eclipses dancing around him.

The eclipses turned into lasers and chased after Kaido.

Kaido clasped his hand together and released it. A golden glaive was created before him.

He grabbed it and swung the glaive.

*BOOOM!*

A golden slash ripped through the district and deflected the lasers and continued its charge towards Jin.

Jin stretched out his palm and gray static started dancing within it.

The static turned into a giant hawk which ripped through slash.

Jin and the hawk charged towards Kaido.

Kaido spun his glaive and thrust it forward.

A beam destroyed the hawk before it could reach him.

Kaido rushed to meet Jin’s charge.

Jin swung his shining fists, while Kaido swung his glaive.

*BOOOM!*

A huge explosion once again covered the district.

The two shot out of the district and entered the Night District.

They once again clashed with everything they had.

*BOOOM!*

A shockwave flatten everything in the district in an instant.

Gray and gold shrouded the skies as the Golden Draconic Beast clashed with the Eclipse God.

*BOOOM!*

As for Miko-

“Woah!”

He was watching the battle with bulging eyes.

The strength the two displayed wasn’t something he hadn’t seen before. In fact, he himself showed might thousands of times greater than this when using Vastator or when he fused with Tiamat’s creations.

But their battle still shook him to the core.

Their might and ferocity wasn’t something he expected to see during this battle. This was far more than he imagined.

This made him excited.

“Don’t underestimate the city, huh. You were right, Sapphire.”

Miko smiled and crimson aura started flowing from his body.

“I gotta join this fight!”

*BOOOM!*

He activated Sin King and used his demonic powers to chased after Jin and Kaido.

He caught up to them when they were in the middle of an intense fights fight.

“Let me join in--?!”

*BOOOM!*

Before he could finish, he was hit with a fist by Kaido.

This fist forcibly deactivated Sin King and completely destroyed his body.

He was instantly brought to deaths door.

“P- Primordial Recreation!”

He desperately activated his proxy ability to recreate his body.

But before he could react he was hit by one of Jin’s eclipse.

*BOOOM!*

He blown to the edge of the district with his life once again hanging on a tread.

He crashed into the ground and was bleeding heavily.

When Alec saw this he sighed.

“He’s clearly outclass. But then again, I can’t rule him out yet.”

Miko silently used Primordial Recreation to heal himself again, before standing back up.

“75 years. I’ve wasted 75 years off my life from this battle only. This can’t continue.”

He smiled brightly.

“Looks like I can’t hide this any longer. Time to unleash what dwells within me.”

He took a deep breath and then-

“Deus Malum- 1st Stage: Dark Apostle!”
