Annihilation Maker DXD

Amidst the turbulent weather, a brilliant bolt of lightning pierced through the somber clouds, casting a glow upon the dreary sky. The wind bellowed fiercely, whipping the raindrops into as the waves surged, heralding the tempest's arrival.

In the turbulent depths of the ocean's currents, a shadowy figure sliced through the murky waters with impressive swiftness, taming the tumultuous waves in its wake as if they yielded to its sovereign will.

But just as abruptly as the waters calmed, they resumed their tempestuous thrashing, causing the figure to come to an abrupt halt and gaze upon a shattered tree ahead with solemn curiosity.

"As if it's my brother himself causing a scene… How interesting" The storm and water didn't hinder his vision at all as the old man murmured to himself, almost as if lost in thought.

A thick bolt of lightning dropped from the sky into the ocean, boiling the waters near the old man. His gaze lingered on the electric currents as he dived deep down.

'Divinity…'

Poseidon wasn't quite sure, but it should be correct. Since detecting the anomaly and investigating, his senses seemed to have lost their… sense?

In a brief moment of reflection, Poseidon realized the reason for his brother's earlier communication. The Fall is doing something big again, causing Poseidon to let out a weary sigh because of the sight before him.

A gloomy black hole loomed ominously, seemingly visible from every angle, as a torrent of inky black sludge surged forth and engulfing the surrounding tree until only a faint trace of the trunk remained visible.

The viscous, obsidian ooze dripped from the charred remains, igniting upon contact with the water, and giving rise to a cacophony of sizzling flames that echoed across the distance, causing even the ocean to bubble with heat.

Unexpectedly, the majority of the mud seemed to disobey gravity, amassing into a colossal, spherical shape at the apex. This murky sphere, resembling a celestial body of darkness, rotated languidly as a faint golden hue was barely perceptible through the murky ooze.

'The responsibility for this matter rightfully belonged to Zeus. So why had it suddenly become my burden to bear? What had the ocean done to deserve this? Wasn't the pollution enough, or was it the fish with two legs again?'

Poseidon was left speechless. After bearing witness to the peculiar sight of fish with two legs, he knew that many held negative opinions about sea creatures, or at least a few.

However, resorting to harmful actions was not necessary, was it? As the guardian of the sea, he refused to tolerate such injustices, yet he also had no desire to risk his life in the process. Such a dilemma.

"Oh, there is a barrier at front. A bit thoughtful, but isn't it weird…" Finishing his brainstorming, Poseidon noticed the faint layer of barrier around the tree, but it gave him an uncanny feeling as if nothing exists beyond the barrier.

'A spatial barrier… Hm?'

As Poseidon swam closer to the barrier, he suddenly collided with a hard object. The texture of this obstacle was surprisingly smooth and cold, resembling a finely crafted piece of steel. Despite the toll that malice in the world had taken on his perception, Poseidon's heart was suddenly overcome with a sense of foreboding.

A flash of lightening suddenly illuminated the world, however, this time, it was right before his eyes. With blue glaring horns, the bull made of gold lowered its head to face a 'divine fish'.

"Brother, is that you? Why are you in the shape of a bull again? Don't tell me you are targeting the fish again! Leave the fish alone! Your taste is too heavy for our brotherhood, bother! Look, Hades is still being autistic in hell because of… Wait."

Poseidon was taken aback by the sudden appearance of a divine entity controlling the storm and lightning. As he figured the huge size possessed by this being, something even more astounding caused him to freeze in place - the bull was sitting.

With its legs lifted high, Gugalanna's hooves pounded against the seabed, causing the sea to tremble with each stomp. Poseidon watched vigilantly, gripping his trident tightly as a torrent of plasma swarmed through the bull's body, boiling the water before it charged forward.

*BOOOM!!*

------

"What is that? An earthquake?"

As if a volcano had erupted, the surface of the ocean exploded, and the water shot up in all directions, rising alongside the lightning that connected the sky and the sea.

Amidst this tumultuous scene, a petite yacht glided serenely through the waters on the other side, seemingly impervious to the tempestuous waves that threatened to overturn it.

"Don't worry about it. It's probably just something big lurking beneath the waters."

Azazel stood atop the yacht; his hands rested on the guardrail as the rain crackled against the floating umbrella. A bolt of lightning cast an ominous shade on his less-than-reassuring smirk.

"I think that should be our main concern!" Tobio subconsciously retorted while hugging the guardrail to stabilize himself.

"Concern for later, throw your dog and cut that barrier now."

Seeing how Azazel ignored them and attempted to kick Tobio's Longinus, the boat's passengers fell into an uneasy silence as the awkward atmosphere lingered before another explosion of lightening and water shook the sea.

"There is a battle ahead, but it shouldn't concern you…" Vali floated in the air with his light wings while watching the silhouette of a golden bull slamming into a bunch of waves.

Maybe it's his illusion, but he can faintly hear a faint dying scream through the waters.

'So, it does concern you then!?' Taking a deep breath, Tobio took back his puppy that was barking at Azazel and activated his ability.

Tobio focused on the shadow of the tree, but he received no feedback from his Longinus, as if the shadow itself didn't exist in this space. Frowning, he switched his target. Several dark blades sprouted from beneath the boat and pierced through the invisible boundary.

To his surprise, beyond the barrier lay a chaotic void, shining with various colors. The scene lasted for only a second before his blades were shattered by the barrier's counter-attack.

"Azazel…"

"I know, Tobio. This barrier shouldn't be just to stop intruders, but to completely isolate the area here into a different space. If I am not wrong, that should have been the Dimensional Gap."

A yellow teleportation magic-circle lit on Azazel's finger, but it soon dimmed down, which made him rub his chin and kept muttering to himself all kinds of weird terms.

"I doubt we would be able to enter the interior unless we locate the end-point of the barrier from here to the Dimensional Gap, but is this level of security not excessive? Something isn't right."

"Locate things in space?" Tobio pondered for a moment before a sharp pain shot through his head, reminding him of the brain-flattening strikes he had endured in his previous fights.

"I think… I can do it."

Tobio couldn't explain it, but he felt as if he could sense space more clearly through his shadows, thanks to remembering the pain in his head.

"Good, open a channel for me to enter."

"Oi, who do you think you are?"

Vali didn't bother with any additional questions, and his tone, which made it clear that he didn't care about the rest of the team, made Kouki grin as electric arcs flashed on his arm.

"We didn't agree to this. We have little to no idea about what we're dealing with, so let's plan our approach before taking any action"

Seiryuu frowned at Vali's reckless actions, but his pale complexion and shaking body didn't make him seem very convincing.

"Hmph, So what? Didn't you want to save the Ouryuu? I doubt I can count on a bunch of shivering cowards. I'll take care of it myself"

"I never thought I would be insulted by a child in such a manner, but I suppose there is a first time for everything. Don't you think you are far too arrogant, White Dragon Emperor?" Byakko grinned with his menacing face, but Genbu held his hand and asked him to calm down.

"You are speaking as if your dear Ouryuu has any more time to spare."

"Vali, calm down."

"Don't get in my way, Lavinia."

"Governor Azazel!" Seiryuu turned towards Azazel and meaning in his eyes was evident. Control your subordinates.

However, Azazel simply shrugged his shoulders and said jokingly "Aren't you quite popular? Look, everyone wants to save you."

Suddenly, an arm shot out of the water and grabbed onto the guardrail of the boat before a drenched figure landed near Azazel.

"*Cough* *Cough* Seiryuu, Byakko, Genbu... Did Suzaku stay behind?"

Nakagami wiped the water stains from his face and furrowed his brow upon realizing that one of the Sacred Beast holders was missing.

"Ouryuu!"

The trio of the Five Principal Clan stood up in shock when they heard Nakagami's voice. No matter how optimistic they are, seeing the torrent of world malice manifesting into the world made them already accept the worse result.

"I know, prepare yourself to go back immediately after we deal with the matter at hand."

Although aware of their feelings, Nakagami signaled his team to calm down before nodding at Slash Dog team and looking at Azazel.

"It's quite surprising that you managed to escape."

"I was simply spared. Governor Azazel, I am thankful for your assistance, but the Five Principal Clans would take it leave from this matter."

Nakagami didn't feel any shame or lose from stating this fact and bowed slightly to express his gratitude.

"Don't worry about it, we are all here for our own reasons. However, I don't mind if you tell me in details what you saw up there."

Looking at Azazel's ominous smile, Nakagami nodded calmly and expressed his approval, especially because they still need to rely on Azazel.

"So, that's it? Alright, I am down, but someone looks abandoned." Kouki glanced left and right before laughing at Vali.

"Azazel." Vali glanced at his foster father, but Azazel simply shrugged and pointed at Nakagami, which made everyone speechless.

Azazel paid no mind to the stares from those around him. After all, why should it be his concern when everyone else is simply looking to cause trouble? One cannot become the leader of a major force without the ability to skillfully shift the blame, no?

"White Dragon Emperor, now is not the time to be reckless. You'll have all the time to deal with the Red Dragon Emperor later, but for the moment, let's focus on withdrawing."

Vali furrowed his brow as he noticed a wavering quality to the typically serious voice. Even for him, Ouryuu was a formidable opponent, one that couldn't be defeated without paying a steep price.

Yet here was this powerful foe displaying such weakness, causing a battle-hardened maniac like Vali to feel contempt mixed with some anticipation to meet the Red Dragon Emperor, who caused this.

"What exactly do you know, Ouryuu Nakiri?" Azazel couldn't help but step forward and ask in a serious tone.

"The tree is filtering out the malevolence that resides within the dragon veins, but do you have any idea of the scale we're dealing with?"

"The ocean? No wonder he abducted you. I've never witnessed such a concentration of malevolence in one place before" Seiryuu remarked, pushing up his glasses as a bead of sweat dripped down his face. But Nakagami shook his head and said "It's not just limited to this location. It's global. Every dragon vein on the planet is connected to this one."

"..." Seiryuu's jaw slowly dropped as a sense of dread washed over him upon gazing at the dark sphere of mud.

"Oh my" Azazel muttered. "No wonder. I paid a visit to the leader of the youkai in Kyoto before learning of the events at the Sanctuary. It seems the Fall visited a lot of places…"

"What happened to Lady Yasaka?" inquired Seiryuu anxiously.

"Well, she was nailed to a cross and left to bask in the sun, so her subordinates constructed a house around her." replied Azazel with a hint of sarcasm. "I suggested they build a temple over her, but they 'politely' asked me to leave..."

"..."

"Anyway, while I can see how this is theoretically possible, one must consider the incredible speed at which malevolence is condensed within dragon veins and the vast distances between these veins"

Azazel rubbed his chin, contemplating several reasons why this was a terrible idea. For instance, he had once attempted to power certain projects using the world's malevolence, but found it to be highly inefficient.

"The flow of time is slower inside, and the energy keeps pouring in at high speeds"

"..."

Azazel's expression froze for a moment as he cast a glance at the black sphere. He noticed the faint golden hue spreading slowly from the center, becoming more and more obvious. Without another word, he swiftly navigated the yacht away from the area.

Before anyone could speak, Azazel cut in quickly. "I won't entertain any questions. That thing is about to detonate, and I refuse to be anywhere near it, barrier or no barrier."

Azazel couldn't help but sigh in disappointment. Maybe his curiosity is too overboard this time, the Fall doesn't play cards according to logic at all. Every place he touches turn into an explosive hazard!

'Should I give up and reassess my approach? But what's the point of reconsidering if we can't even establish contact? I suppose I'll leave it up to fate for the time being...' He glanced over at Vali, who was clearly in a sour mood, and realized things might become more complicated than he anticipated.

"Hmph," Vali snorted and simply crossed his arms while closing his eyes, waiting in silence. Without Tobio's help, he had no idea how to breach a barrier connected to the Dimensional Gap. At worst, he'll have to wait until whatever is happening inside the barrier comes to a closure

*BOOOOOM!!*

Another deafening blast echoed through the waters on the other side of the tree, with lightning illuminating the entire area, causing Azazel's crew to fall silent.

"Are you sure we shouldn't be worried?" Natsume asked, feeling uneasy as the boat shook violently.

"Let's not involve ourselves in any more trouble." Azazel declared firmly before promptly leaving the area. He had a feeling he knew who was fighting, and that they would only drag them into even bigger problems!

"Seiryuu, please contact Suzaku and ask her to take shelter at the Shrine of Gods. Byakko, please inform the guards of the clans to reduce their defenses but keep their forces ready to surround any signs of trouble,"

Byakko and Seiryuu were taken aback but immediately understood the gravity of the situation after seeing the fury in Nakagami's eyes.

As the yacht departed, a certain god of horses cursed under his breath as another torrent of plasma slammed into his trident, sending him flying backwards.

…

Meanwhile, inside the source of All the World's Evil.

The world twisted and blurred until a city came into view. Neon signs and billboards lit up the streets, casting colorful shadows across the pavement, but it felt so strange and uncanny.

The distance was covered by a thick fog, ominously looming under a dark eclipse replacing the sun.

The sidewalks were packed with a blur of faces, their features indistinguishable in the dreamlike haze. Some hurried along with purpose, while others meandered at a leisurely pace, their mouths opened, but no sound was heard.

So quite as if nothing actually exists.

In an instant, a piercing scream echoed through the sky, but the 'bustling' city remained unchanged, as if deaf to the sudden cry. Meanwhile, in a dimly lit alleyway, a trembling youngster stood clutching a bloodstained knife in their hands.

"I-I did it… I did it…"

His chest rose and fell trying to catch as his eyes fell on the dead body middle-aged man, but then, a hand tapped the youngster shoulder, which caused him to subconsciously move away, but he couldn't.

"Rejoice, boy. Your wish of making London shady alleyways proud, has come true. But…"

A young man stood before him, his tall frame draped in a black clergy outfit adorned with a complex red and green cross that hung around his neck. But it was the priest's appearance that truly caught the eye. Three dark gray twisted horns sprouted from his skull, resembling withered trunks that formed some sort of grotesque crown atop his head.

A "friendly" smile graced his lips, revealing a set of pearly white teeth that sparkled in the light. However, his golden eyes seemed to cast a sense of unease and pressure, as if the very air around him had turned murky.

"You're so hopeless. Have you ever considered this new innovating tool, the Family Drama Mugging Kit!"

With a thud, a much sharper knife was inserted into the solid ground as the priest smiled.

"Go and stab more of your rich relatives…"

"DIE!"

The youngster's expression contorted into a frightening grimace as he raised the knife, but before he could strike, the priest swiftly backhanded slapped him. His features twisted once more, this time contorting into a grotesque mush that splattered the nearby wall in a dark, viscous substance.

The priest simply walked out of the alleyway to see the scenery changed into a regular School Campus.

"Don't tell me he actually went to her! That bitch! How dare she! Just wait until…"

A girl stood with two of her friends and squeezed her phone in anger at the sight of a young man leaving the school with another girl.

Suddenly, a knife pierced through her phone as the priest smiled and uttered, "Rejoice, girl. This is the Dating Kit. Just eliminate all competition..."

"..."

"Rejoice…"

"Rejoice…"

"Rejoice…"

The world continued to twist and turn, while the sound of rejoicing echoed all around. Inside the green orb on the necklace, Ddraig bathed in flames, watching the scene unfold in silence. Is this what taking a high dose of human malice and divinity does to someone?

His partner suddenly appeared in a priest cosplay and proceeded to stab the manifestation of the malice. What worries him the most is that it seems to be working. Looking at another horn forming on Leo's skull, didn't know what to say.

After a series of local terrorizing, Leo stretched his body and sat down on a bench in the park, observing two grannies screaming at each other.

Although his eyes were cloaked in a divine hue that seemed to render him impervious to all, a flicker of puzzlement suddenly appeared in them.

"Is this… Kuoh Town park?" Leo blinked his eyes and quickly spotted three girls jogging far away as the knife in his hand rose slowly to reflect his empty gazes.

"Ddraig"

"Yes?"

"I've come to a realization. My life, as of late..." The complex numbness shrouded in divinity remained unchanged, yet there were ripples in his eyes as he spoke. "It's been a downward spiral of cringe."

"Excuse me?"

"Consider this for a moment. Everything I've done recently has been pathetic. I mean, I've been listening to the words of an egotistical and narcissistic deceased Roman emperor. When did I become okay with that? Instead of just sending two atomic bombs to the chat to end the enemies, I was messing around with some magical nonsense to help them. I could have written a novel entitled 'In Another World with Fat Man and Little Boy: Recreating the Brilliance of Hiroshima and Nagasaki!' Do you see what I mean?"

"No, I am afraid I can't keep up with your… mind." Ddraig blinked in surprise as he watched his partner spout nonsense without the slightest change in expression. Divinity is really convenient.

"I've even gone so far as to roleplay as the Evil of Humanity with that self-insert MC(Ritsuka). Since when did I start caring about humanity's Stockholm syndrome? I don't care if I need these Ten Crowns, believe it or not, I'll flush them down the toilet. The World's Will even managed to blackmail me into signing an unequal treaty! That's illegal! I am the one who blackmails! If I become an eldritch figure, that will be my title!"

"Leo, calm down."

"I am calm"

Without changing his expression, Leo gazed at the discounted horizon that was blurred by the fog and said, "I have just… discovered my problems, and I am working to fix them."

{That doesn't sound calm. Partner, maybe you got it wrong. Maybe you have always been edgy and chunni as you say.}

"..." Leo's divine eyes rippled slightly for a moment before he calmly retorted "Nonsense. Just see through my divinity and tell me if I'm lying."

{How am I supposed to see lies through divinity!?} Ddraig so badly wanted to shoot a dragon breath at Leo's face, but he shook his head and said, "If that's the case, then you might as well consider removing your wings, halo, and those weird horns."

"What do you mean? My wings are epic! The horns are cool too" Leo caressed his horns before nodding slowly to himself.

"..." Ddraig didn't know what to say about his partner hopelessness, but he still snorted with a burst of flames and said "Hmph. At least, you are in better state than usual."

"Hmmmm… I think because this is hell? I still can't believe that the village boy (Angra Mainyu) curse[1] from back then has worked" Leo looked up at the eclipse in the sun and couldn't believe that the furry transformed scapegoat has got him.

"Someone cursed you again?"

"Not exactly, but I had too many phases in my lives so far, and I never expected there to be more. Well, dwelling on too much negativity isn't good, even for an unoptimistic person like me."

Rubbing his necklace, Leo sighed and said, "Indulging in a dream for too long won't do any good. I have been here too many times, so I know how pointless it is. It's better to move forward."

"Excellent, I have sensed the White Dragon Emperor (Albion) outside. I have something important to tell him."

Ignoring Ddraig somewhat weird tone, Leo stood up and dusted his completely clean outfit before saying "Then let's go."

Golden-red flames began to spread from Leo's body, engulfing everything in sight. Gradually, the various scenes that mirrored the malice stored inside the mud began to melt away. The sky dripped down as though paint had been splashed with water, draped in an orange hue, as if the sun were finally setting on this illusion.

The ashes sparkled strangely, like golden grains of sand, as they integrated into the top of Leo's head, accelerating the formation of the Ten Crowns.

Leo walked slowly through this world of flames until he reached the blurry figure of three jogging girls, where he dropped a knife.

"The next time you encounter an asshole in the park, stab him. You'll have a much more in-depth communication - of course, I mean beneath the skin level. Nothing sexual, unless you're into that sort of thing. In which case, you might need some help, you fuck---"

*** Blazing Inferno of Scorching Flames!!!!***

Suddenly, the flames erupted like a volcano and turned everything into a purgatory, forcing Leo to fall silent and his eyes to widen in surprise.

{Ddraig, how dare you make my final words something so lame!!}

The flames of Ddraig engulfed Leo's last thought, as it was consumed by one of the strongest abilities in this world. These flames had the power to burn everything into oblivion, except for a select few such as Ddraig's old friend Albion, Ophis, Great Red, some EXE Gods, unique locations, and other mysterious phenomena, especially those that Leo had casually tampered with, which means a lot of things.

All in all, the flames merged with the divinity exposed by Leo and began to slowly consume all the malice expelled from the dragon veins.

Outside, where the reality was filled with black mud releasing a foul odor, the interior was filled with an even worse stench as the golden-red flames burned the black malice substance. The dark, ominous sphere was set ablaze, becoming a beacon of fire that shone brightly as the raindrops refracted the light into a mesmerizing display.

As the flames continued climing the waterfall of mud, the wings of Vali flicked in a blue gleam.

"Ddraig, you…"

Suddenly, a deep voice emanated from within Vali's wings, carrying a complex mix of emotions before eventually breaking down into a nostalgic sigh.

"Vali, prepare yourself."

Vali gazed intently at the bright torch in the distance as his fist clenched. He couldn't tell if the rush he was feeling was due to excitement or Albion's warning, but he was undeniably thrilled at this sight of power.

The mere aftermath behind the barrier caused his skin to scorch, as if the flames were about to burn him next.

Leo knelt down with great difficulty inside the source of evil, his body screaming in agony as more horns began to form. As the scenes of murder, lies, cheating, and various nefarious acts and their dire consequences flashed before his eyes, the pressure on him grew stronger.

7… 8… 9.

The grotesque crown grew more complete with each passing moment, its weight taking a toll on the tree beneath Leo's feet. The once sturdy trunk began to collapse under the pressure, sending tremors through the ground. Meanwhile, Leo's body, the vessel of a being, showed more and more cracks with each passing second, as if it were made of fragile porcelain struggling to contain the immense power within.

As Leo knelt amidst the chaos, the book of Law appeared before him and its pages began to turn as if guided by an invisible hand. The knowledge and power contained within the tome flowed into Leo's body, and the golden glow of divinity that surrounded him began to diminish, replaced by a silvery sheen.

Slowly lifting his head, Leo felt the weight of the entire world pressing down on him. The Longinus began to send danger signals, warning that the speed of destruction had surpassed its ability to repair.

However, Leo knew this was to be expected. He couldn't handle such a vast amount of filth, so he had to diverge it, and his goal was put on the Beast Authority.

As the cracks on his body began to grow into fractures, Leo turned his gaze towards the black hole in the sky. He slowly stood up and focused all his energy on the horns growing from his head.

*BOOOOOM!!!*

The world was bathed in a golden light as the barrier containing the flames exploded and soared into the sky, creating a dazzling pillar of light that pierced through the blackhole.

The storm created by Gugalanna was instantly cleared as the entire sky shone with a bright radiance. Gugalanna and Poseidon, who were previously trying to overcook and waterboard each other, froze in place as the particles of light gently fell amidst the scattered droplets.

Everyone watching was suddenly struck still, their attention focused on the pillar of light until it gradually began to fade. Strangely, a faint scream could be heard, uttering the words 'Fuck humanity and their self-inflicted issues.'

After the majestic tree and flames had disappeared, what remained was a calm surface of the sea. A layer of steam rose slowly due to the high temperature, which gradually cooled down.

A solitary figure stood atop the tranquil sea's surface, adorned in the traditional attire of a priest, embellished by a complex red cross. He appeared to be massaging his temples as if plagued by a headache, drawing attention to the two twisted gray horns protruding from his head.

[DXD World's Will: Good morning!]

Glancing at the notification from the chat, Leo pursed his lips and closed his eyes as if nothing happened.

[DXD World's Will: What are you doing?]

"I am going back to the coma. Waking up to your greeting sounds cursed."

[DXD World's Will: Damn you! You caused this to yourself!]

"Yeah, never again. This dream was a bit too long…" muttered Leo, shaking his head as the throbbing in his temples subsided. He then tapped his foot on the surface of the water, causing ripples to radiate outward.

Seven enormous dragon heads and necks emerged from the dark depths and began to circle around Leo. Each head was adorned with a single horn, similar to the ones on Leo's head. As they circled closer, their size slowly shrank until they were directly in front of him.

Fourteen pairs of eyes stared at Leo, but his blank eyes remined unchanged. However, deep inside, they noticed some sort of malicious intent slowly brewing.

"VI, YOU SUCK!"

Suddenly, without warning, he stepped forward and delivered an uppercut to the nearest dragon head, instantly knocking it off as it slowly sank into the sea with its mouth wide open.

The remaining dragon heads looked at their brethren slowly fading away before looking at each other and circling around Leo, growling and snarling.

"How can you say it's not your fault? I've been acting chunni because you left your problems for me to deal with!"

"Grrrrr…"

"So, what if it was me who shot the Ten Crowns? It's still your lack of skill that caused this!"

"*ROAR*!!"

VI had finally had enough, as one of the dragon heads snuck up behind Leo and opened its bloody maw to bite down on his head. But Leo was quick to react, twisting his body and strangling the head. However, the other heads soon joined in the fray, biting down on Leo and trying to drag him down into the depths of the sea to give him a waterboarding experience.

As Leo wrestled with the dragon heads, a tense silence fell over the scene. Suddenly, Gugalanna seized the opportunity and charged at Poseidon, sending him flying before pursuing him relentlessly once more.

"Hey, Red Dragon Emperor."

As Leo was preparing to deliver another Shoryuken to VI, a cold voice caught his attention, causing him to frown. While he was distracted, one of VI's heads snuck up behind him and bit down on his head, twisting it 180 degrees.

*Crack*

"What do you want?"

Vali couldn't help but feel a slight shiver down his spine as he witnessed Leo's head twisted at an awkward angle by the dragon's attack. The sight was enough to make anyone wince in pain.

"Ddraig, it has been a while."

"Oh, Albion. I see you have found an interesting host."

"I could say the same thing about you. It looks like you're quite content with your current host."

The green orb on Leo and blue wings on Vali began to flash, and the two dragon-hosts began their typical press conference-style argument, like two boxers meeting before a match. They would usually make cryptic statements like 'my partner possesses XXXX ability,' or 'my host has the potential to become XXXX.'

However, after the greeting, Albion fell into a brief silence and said "Ddraig… you have unsealed it" before falling into silence again.

"Dwelling on the past is futile, Albion. It's ironic, but my partner has been causing me too much trouble lately. It's ridiculous, yet it indeed piqued my curiosity and made me excited for what the future holds."

Albion let out a thoughtful hum before conceding with a hint of relief in his voice, "Looking forward to the future, huh? I suppose you're right."

"Good. Let's witness the future together, Albion!"

"What?" Albion asked, taken aback by the excitement in Ddraig's voice.

{Partner, quickly connect me to Albion!} Ddraig called to Leo through telepathy, causing the latter to frown.

{Why are you assuming I can do that? Of course, I am can, but do not assume. By the way, what are you planning to do?}

Leo blinked in confusion, but quickly formed a connection between the necklace and Vali's wings, causing the space around them to ripple like water.

Albion felt strange about Ddraig's current actions, but then he realized that he was an extra piece of memories entering his spiritual space inside the Longinus. {What are you planning to do, Ddraig?}

The expression of the giant white dragon froze as his pupils shrunk into a line. Through the memories, he saw a scene of some kids watching a TV show called 'Breast Dragon Emperor Breast Dragon'.

Suddenly, the kids started arguing.

"The Breast Dragon is the strongest!"

"No, I heard from my father that the Oppai Dragon rival is stronger! The Butt Dragon!"

"No, it's the Breast Dragon!"

"No, it's the Butt Dragon!"

"…"

Albion watched in silence, feeling his breath becoming rushed as if his soul was about to suffocate. With great dread, he continued to watch the memory until he saw Vali being crowned as the Butt Dragon Emperor.

*Crack*

"Hm?" Vali was startled by the cracking sound echoing from his Longinus. He then noticed that the wings had lost their brilliance and turned gray.

"HAHAHAHAHA, just like the old days, we always share each other's fate! Now we are on even ground! Come, Albion!"

"DDRAIGGGGGG!!!!"

Albion's heart-wrenching roar and Ddraig's menacing laughter pierced through the sky, causing everyone to feel the wrath of the heavenly dragon.

"Albion, what happened? What have you done, Red Dragon Emperor!?" Vali stabilized himself in the air, feeling the Longinus going berserk. He accused Leo, who had just removed the dragon head that was biting him.

However, Leo wasn't in a better situation. Disbelief was written all over his face as he felt betrayed. That was clearly his own thing! Ddraig was stealing his job!

Meanwhile, the Slash Dog team and others watched in astonishment as they witnessed the scene of the White Dragon's Wrath, with the Red Dragon laughing maniacally while their hosts respectively glared in anger or stared at the void in a daze of disbelief without paying attention to former.

Perhaps it would be best for them to leave quietly, as the large bull had now turned its head towards them and did not seem friendly.

-----------------------------------------

[1]: This means when Angra cursed Leo to 'Rot in hell', which technically happened because Leo almost lost himself in All the World's Evil. For Angra, this evil is hell.
