Crono PoV

Hohoho looks like an extreme adventure is coming for Baal. Quite the dangerous one at that.

To think the fairy queen would ask to retrieve its core. It would make quite the nature dungeon but…

Before I could think anymore particles of light gathered behind me and Valeria appeared. Following here fire rose, water condensed, wind gathered, the earth rose and the shadows gathered. Soon they all formed into the six elemental gods.

Crono: So, how was it.

Earth: *sigh* Bad. We got at best 100 lesser gods, only about 14 are battle type lesser gods. As for the angels, I have made pocket dimensions for each god and had all their servants stay there It would number about 2000 lesser celestials. No greater god really care how Thadius rules as long as he doesn’t interfere with their work and realm.

Crono: *sigh* that is bad news. To think so few gods cared if the Upper world was ruled by that little prick.

Valeria: What should we do.

Crono: Nothing just bring those who want to join here. With the ideas of rebelling against Thadius in their minds it would be dangerous for them to remain here. I will teleport them down to the Mortal world. They will be valuable allies for Baal on his current adventure.

They nodded and two of them, air and darkness, vanished and soon small lights began springing up all over the place. From them lesser gods appeared all ready to leave behind the heavens for the Mortal world. Among them was a young god of war that wanted to meet the young demon prince. Aries was there if full armor ready for battle.

Crono: Are you all ready. Unless someone opens a portal from the mortal world you can’t return here. You all know this right.

All: Yes sir.

I smiled and closed my eyes for a moment before snapping them open. Branching from me was a large magic circle that would remain invisible when entering the mortal world unlike the old one that remains that makes a huge spectacle.

Crono: I should also go pick up Lilian from the Underworld...or I could make this more interesting.

A mischievous grin appeared on my face.

Crono: Valeria take charge of the gods and head to Baal’s city. I would recommend you help Baal protect his city while he is away.

Valeria: And you?

Crono: I have a little errand to deal with here in the Upper world. I will follow you after its done.

I activate the portal and all of them vanish like mist. Smiling my body vanishes like a ghost. I half appear some time later standing on the edge of the teleportation portal down to the mortal world. I walk into it and stop at the center.

One thing no one these days know except me, Thanatos and a few other remains from the old era who know ancient magic, is that all magic circles have a single weak spot. Perfectly centered at the middle of the magic circle is a very brittle spot that if hit precisely hit it would shatter the circle. For ruin circles that are carved into stone or objects it’s the same principle all you need is a little more…FORCE!

*BOOM*

Planting my foot right at the center with more than 20% of my strength. The entire foundation of the room and castle above it shook. My transparent body vanished the next moment. I appeared moments later a kilometer away watching my moderately weak stomp do its damage and spread more. Several separate structures form the castle collapsed. I create a one man teleportation circle and as I see a single speeding body fly out of the dust cloud.

Thadius: CRONO ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!

Crono: Hohoho Good luck. Boy

My body vanished just before the so called king of the gods reached me in his rage.

As he reached the spot and swung the shining white blade at the spot Crono was the old man vanished. He stood there and with a roar that sounded like a dragons roar of rage it resounded through the whole Upper world. The final connection between the upper and mortal world was cut leaving this world isolated. Gods could project their image into the mortal world but that is a consuming task so it’s rarely done.

Ares PoV

I finally get to meet this little demon prince. I heard he is some titled knight of honor or something. It sounds like a fighters title anyway.

After Elder Crono teleported we appear at the edge of a forest and a large plantation.

Valeria: Alright you guys. Just like the royal ranked demons you will be placed with a limiter to your power and gain a human form here so please remain in you human form when here. Even us six need to stay in human form and even then our power might cause a few people to instantly notice us as nonhumans.

Valeria told us to take a human form. When I looked at myself as I am I see that we are out of place here amongst the humans and other mortal races. My godly body was that of a tall very bulk middle aged man with long hair and beard that were bright white with a red hue and flowed like fire mainly because I have 100% fire and light affinity. My armor consists of a heavy plated armor fitted in scales so as not to hamper my movements, though I doubt something could do that, and providing better defense. It was made by a friend that also came with us.

(http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/godofwar/images/c/c4/Ares.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20080712194920)

He is a lesser god of smiths by the name of Thor. (yes ppl he is a smith deal with it) He is a unique man, being a blacksmith but also the god of thunder. It made a very strange combination but it fit him. His weapon was his small blacksmith hammer. He is young with long blond hair. (just look at the movie Thor for the image of him in battle gear)

After Valeria cast the illusion spell on us I could feel my mana start drain to hold my max power so I suppress my max power to drop and at 50% it stopped to drain. What was left was a young lean man that looked to have just reached 18 with brown hair wearing my old armor that adjusted to my size. Thor who was next to me didn’t change much or at all. Except for his clothes that is. Before he was in battle gear but now he was in his blacksmith clothes while his hammer changed from the shining weapon it is into a normal looking dull blacksmiths hammer.

Ares: Hey didn’t you suppress your power.

Thor: Of course but my original form was already human like unlike yours so only my godly aura was suppressed.

I look around and most lesser gods have their powers suppressed.

???: Seems everyone is properly outfitted.

We all turn to the voice and see Crono standing there smiling.

Crono: Go shall we go then we should get into town quick. This is probably the best place at the moment as well as the safest.

Valeria: Yes until us six can fix up nature it will be a while.

???: What is the point in us helping the boy?

Crono: Baal is not the only one here. Thadius’s daughter who is also Valeria’s child is also the queen.

Ares: This is the Demon kingdom current?

Crono: It is but only because the majority are demons. Come.

He started to walk and we all followed him.

We all walked towards the tall stone walls of the city. At the gate we were stopped and searched by the demon guards. It was actually a shock how strong they looked. More than half could take on our servant as an equal and the strongest could fight our archangel servants.

After we were allowed to pass, we followed Crono through the streets towards the castle. We did draw the attention of quite a few people but it was more of a quick glance. A few conceited humans here did look down on us but we were calm down quickly by that almost unnoticeable killing intent coming from our elder.

At the castle gates we were stopped for a moment but after a moment the large gates opened. Inside we saw a few thousand guards from demon and monster races training but in front of the castle gate two groups of about 200 were fighting in mock battles.

At each end were men leading each the mock armies. The younger man had a frown while the other man was grinning. It was clear that the fight was in his favor.

They continued to shout orders without even noticing us but that lasted only a few minutes before Crono made sure every last guard knew of our presence.

The overwhelming pressure the old man exerted caused all the guards to land on their knees while lesser creature like the lizard men and hobgoblins fainted foaming at the mouth.

The only ones standing were the two leaders but they were breathing heavily and holding their knees and forcing themselves up as best they could.

The pressure vanished a moment later allowing them to breath normally. The older man looked over with eyes filled with both fear and rage.

Rachet: Damn it old man don't unleash something so strong on weak soldiers. Look at that what if they lose their will to fight now.

Crono: Hohoho sorry about that but a strong bust is hard to aim in one direction.

Baal: As if. Then why are all those people behind you ok.

Crono: Hohoho

Everyone behind him stood shocked at the conversation. To take a blast of such strong killing intent and come out yelling at the culprit.

Valeria: Now wait Baal. You guys didn't notice us.

Rachet/Baam: As if.

Baam: We noticed all of you when you were all outside of town. Everyone at full power you think someone wouldn't notice. It was the reason I started losing to Rachet.

Rachet: Let’s check that as a lesson to never look away.

Earth: Haha the man knows his stuff.

Baam: So what’s with so many gods here especially you six?

Crono: It was getting to be a pain staying under Thadius. Little prick was getting conceited but we don't have the strength to fight him.

Rachet: So this is like a revolutionary force?

Valeria: Yes it could be thought as so. Would it be too much to ask for us to set up here for a while.

Baam: I don't mind but wouldn't a few gods get into conflict when together. Especially we they are the same kind of god?

Crono: There aren't many same types.

A parchment appeared in Crono's hand and was passed to the boy.

Ares: So this is Baam. If I remember correctly my champion is also in this city. He should be around over one year old by now.

I sensed around and found him outside the castle in a church filled with Valeria's power. It was still at the same degree of power that I had blessed the boy with. He is probably still too young.

Baal: Wow there is such a variety. But for each to have their own church is bit much. It will need to be grouped churches. All the elemental gods could be together. Battle gods and craft gods each have their own church this will make it easy to find all of them.

Valeria: A pantheon that sound...interesting.

Crono: Good let us talk more later.

Crono turned around towards us.

Crono: Well then kids please make yourselves at home here. The castle has enough empty rooms on the ninth floor. You may all go. Oh and please call all you servant and allow them to make their own lives here.

Everyone began walking about. Small portals appeared when the gods opened the pocket space and releasing our servants. Each god went and headed to scout the town. Soon only the battle gods including myself and Thor remained. I walked over to the boy.

Ares: Greeting. I'm Ares.

Baam: Hello I'm Baam the king of the demon kingdom. You're the god of war right.

Ares: Yes I am.

Baam: You would get along with my sister then. She also became a god of war.

Ares: Oho and where is she?.

My hands flexed a bit. Between the same kind of god it’s a normal instinct to fight to see who is superior. Having heard from Crono that she was Thadius's daughter it seems fitting she become a goddess of war.

Crono: she is in the demon world but I think it best to fix that problem. Thanatos.

The black shade that was Thanatos appeared from thin air.

Thanatos: Yes master.

Crono: Please bridge the mortal and demon world.

""""What!!!""""

Everyone shouted. It was obvious why. Up until now they have needed huge teleportation circles and this old man just casually asked to bridge two different realms like it’s the easiest thing in the world.

Thanatos: Yes master. Where would you like the portal.

Crono: Hmm near the castle door.

The old man points to the spot and the man walks over and stands there a moment before lifting his scythe and hit the ground. The ground began to tremble and in front of the old reaper a three level stage half a meter high rose. From them five pillars began to rise and like claws curved in towards the inner part of the stage. After it stopped shaking small sets of stairs grew from the stone leading up.

He walked up and one by one he touched the pillars. This caused them to be covered in runes from top to bottom. When he finished he walked to the center on the highest platform and touched the ground. Runes spread from his hand to all three platforms and all the runes soon began glowing green.

Standing once more he lifted the scythe up. The pure white blade slowed began glowing green like the runes and once he swung it began. The moment the scythe reached its peak height it dug into the very space and began to cut into it. The amount of mana that was being released was unimaginable and made everyone sweat cold.

It was easy to see this person was by far the strongest living thing in the mortal world, or was. All our eyes turned to Crono. He was smiling. It made it all too easy to imagine that this old man could do far greater

As Thanatos reached half swing the runes lit up and from the points long strings spread out from it and attached to the edge of the portal and pulled it like opening a wound. It made cutting easier for Thanatos and his scythe soon exited the space portal. As the portal stabilized he instantly jumped in.

(Anyone that has watched the grim adventures of Billy and Mandy should have a basic image of the portal)

Crono: Good now he just needs to stabilize the other side and we are done.

Baam: Won't this attract my father’s attention.

Crono: Of course but Lucifer is in no condition to fight. It will take more than 10 years and absorbing a great deal of the miasma in the demon world before Lucifer regains his lost horn and limbs. He won't be so stupid to attack someone with so much power.

Ares: Is Lucifer that weak.

Crono: Don't play with hell fire boy. Lucifer, even weakened, can kick your ass with one arm and not even use magic.

Everyone shuttered.

We looked at the portal amazed by the kinds of beings they would be fated to fight.

Thor: This matters not at this time. Boy please show me to a forge. My hand itches to return to a forge.

Baam: You are a smith. That’s good. If you know any more craftsman the workshop are on the second floor.

Thor grinned and walked away giving little thought about the portal.

Lucifer PoV

I can't believe that skeleton could cause me so much pain. One who year has passed and the scars that bastard gave me still ache. I've lost my wing, tail and left arm. Worst of all my left horn is gone and it was caught in that blasted explosions so I could not reattach it.

I'm forced now to recover by absorbing nearly all my extra miasma that has covered my world for almost 2000 years. This is bad because I have heard report that someone is moving around making purified land. These spaces aren't affected by my miasma on the contrary it grows by eating it. The miasma attached to trees and land I can't absorb anymore and that will continue to feed this barrier that blocks anyone of my men holding killing intent towards it.

The culprit must be that bitch Vil'crI let go.

I have burned her face into my mind so that I can find her no matter what.

After a year of absorbing my miasma my horn has finally begun to sprout but that was when felt it.

Like a hammer a thing I haven't felt in a long time appeared. Fear. A power that feels like it is cutting this very world suddenly appeared. So much power that it made me feel like I was a newborn Imp in front of a Divine demon.

For something like this to exist what kind of abomination could gain so much power.

That area is near where Vil'crI died but much more north.

Hmm. The spot it appeared from matches the spot my bastard son is standing in. Could he have something to do with this? Maybe I can make my wife and son useful. Let’s send them over to see.

Lilian PoV

I'm currently in the most beautiful but sad place I've seen. In an enormous crater the most beautiful garden spread all over but at the center sat the saddest object I've seen. Surrounded by pure white flowers was a stone statue that looked up towards the east. Plum, Kumi me and my elites were all crying while we look at the statue of Vil'cri.

I had gathered my elites to visit and out bottled up emotions broke free seeing him dead but were happy that he got to finally rest.

As our tears dry up we feel a great power from the north. It was inside the first bubble we made. I climb on Plum and with a final prayer for his wellbeing in his next life we head towards the power. It wasn't demonic, it felt human and godlike at the same time. With the rank up to peak higher demon Plum and Kumi were dangerously fast but so was the flying speed of the elites. Unlike when we first left, to return was much faster thanks to the rank up and training. As we cross the barrier we can see it from far. The town with larger walls had something at the center.

We raced towards the city and soon reached it. There were no guards but that was because they were inside and fully armed. At the side of the Mayors destroyed house was a cloaked man on top of a three platform stage that had five claw like pillars. It was covered in runes and at the center was a distorted hole in space. As the last pillar gained its runes strings left them and attached to the hole and stretched it out making a wide perfect circle.

Thanatos: Finally done. *Sigh* such a tiresome job master asked of me. Huh?

He looks my way and smiles.

Thanatos: Lilian come this is a portal to the mortal world. Baal misses you greatly

Lilian: Who...

Thanatos: Come already girl less chitchat.

He walks into the portal and everyone just blinks.

Mayer: Know him

The Mayer appeared before us.

Lilian: not a clue but he knows my brother it seems.

Mayer: ...What will you do?

Lilian: I guess we should go.

I shrugged and walked up. Besides my companions no one else came up and soon we crossed the thresholds of the portal and saw a clear blue sky. Looking down I see Baal though a bit older and white hair and start crying. I run over and hug him.

Lilian: So *hic* go to *hic* you again.

I hear him chuckle and then feel his left arm hug me while his right hand pats my head.

Baal: Good to see you to Lilian.

???: Wahhh master is doing it again. Hugging someone else but not Lily.

Lilian: Eh?

Though I was crying I looked up and felt the body hit Baam from behind. A pair of slender arms hugged Baal from behind and pushed me back.

Lily: Get away Master is Lily's

Lilian: W-who are you telling to go away.

Lily: You of course you old hag.

Veins popped out on my head as I started to let out an evil laugh.

Lilian: Fufufu your name was Lily? Then your Baal's elite. I guess he never disciplined you so let me do that in his place.

Lily: Try it you old hag.

My staff was our and we parted. She jumped back and pulled out the Dual sickles so I changed to my twin fang daggers, no poison.

We stare at each other before I run at her with blinding speed but what I meant just as I neared her as a finger that suddenly appeared out of nowhere and flicked my forehead.

*Thwack**Thwack*

One flick when to the forehead of each girl and both fell over holding their head.

"Yaaaaa""Grrraaaaawwwww"

We both roll around on the ground holding our heads protecting the sensitive spot that was hit with terrifying force.

We both look up at the same time with tear filled eyes at the culprit. Baal stood at the spot in between each of us.

Lily: Master *hic* what was that fore.

She was making big teary baby eyes as she looked at him.

Baal: That was so you two could calm down.

Lily: Lily did nothing wrong.

She received another flick for that.

Baal: Learn from your mistake. Don't call others old hags when they are just five years old.

Lilian: Hehe that’s what you ge... *thwack* Yaaaaa

Baal: The first one was for attacking the second for provoking.

We both held our head hiding it from Baal.

Lily: But Lily want master to love lily like a woman.

Lilian: What!!

Lily’s face turned red but mine was even deeper red from the confession.

Lily: She only thinks of you as her brother. Lily loves master.

Lilian: That’s not...true.

My voice was tiny. My face was burning up as I looked down.

Lily: See she can't even admit she loves master.

Lilian: I love Baal more than you ever will as my brother and the person I want to live my life with.

As soon as the word left my mouth I froze up.

Valeria: Oh my. I guess having a love rival brings out a person's true feelings *giggles*.

Crono: Hohoho children these days so feisty even at such a young age.

The older generation was enjoying the love comedy that was happening. That included the other elites and pets.

Kumi: Fufu, I knew it would happen eventually.

Kitsu: Agreed. Lily has been quite proactive. If Baal can't choose he should just go with both.

Once Kitsu finished saying that the two girls perked up. They look at each other and an exchange was happening through I contact. After a bit they grinned and nodded before looking at Baal.

Lily: Master. You better choose.

Lilian: If you don't we won't rest until one of us is chosen.

Baal: What! Me. I-I don't know I love both of you in your own ways.

Lily: then master is going to have to do just like Kitsu just said.

Lilian: Take both of us as your women.

Lily: We won't let anyone else get near you until you choose one of the options. Huhuhu

Lilian: Fufufu

Baal looked at the two girls sweating.

Baal: Then...both.

Before the word was out of his mouth we already held his arm. One each. We both grinned evilly and a new exchange happened between us.

Lilian: Let's give him hell for being so indecisive

Lily: Ah teasing master. That sound nice

Everyone but Baam was laughing and joking about his misfortune.

3rd PoV old Relona kingdom capital

At the capital of the fallen Relona kingdom capital Hasona. The now human foreigners kingdom had risen from the ashes of the old kingdom. Sitting on the throne was Law. The foreigner that Baam killed. He was happily exploiting the NPC of his kingdom making them less than slaves.

It was currently night time and in the forest around the city strange movement were going on in the upper canopy of the trees. Only a few glowing yellow eyes and the shadow of a human shape with a long tail could be seen.

A low grumble was heard from this shadow and hundreds of new ones appeared. They all held staffs as they stealthily approached the edge of the forest. With the plains devoid of life from the weakling newbies there was no one but the animals. On the walls archers walked about with torches. There enhanced night vision skill helped them see in the dark as long as there was a little light.

???: Go

With a grumble the shadows jumped out and reached crossed the 1 km plains to the wall in a flash while the archers looked away. With their strange animal like hands and feet they climbed the wall without a noise and slowly took down the archers.

That night the muffled screams of all laws men was blown away in the wind and a new kingdom rose.
