1915 The Plans Of The Usurpers Of Destiny



-----

Sitting above their throne made of the skulls of his enemies, the Demon King glanced at a sphere showcasing him the point of view of one of his small familiars, a Demonic Crow flying across the skies. A smile surged on his lips, as his sharp red eyes glowed with malice.

"It looks like all the pieces of the game are in place now." He smiled. "I couldn't had gotten this far without your help, dear Kireina."

He raised his hands, covered on metallic claw-shaped gloves, Chaotic energies melded together with Nether Energies, alongside the power of the Cosmic Shards.

All three energies converged together to form an even stronger and overwhelming substance, which glowed with purple and red color, constantly spiraling and corrupting its surroundings.

His powers slowly spread out even faster, across the entire Wastelands, and the roots of his energies even reached farther away, right in front of the Dwarven Country.

Meanwhile, eight blue eyes glanced at the Demon King from behind. The origin of such eyes disrupting space and time itself to camouflage between the Spatial layers through a unique spiderweb-like magic power.

"So you're finally beginning to move at long last?" Laughed the spider. "Were you waiting for those two annoying flies to move away from your path?"

"More or less, dear." Laughed the Demon King. "Now that they're out of the picture for the time being, I'll finally be able to take things on my hands. Especially with this valuable power they've inherited to me, hahaha…"

"The Outer Ones seem displeased with your lack of tact." Said the spider. "To become a member of the Usurpers of Destiny, the higher ones have great expectations of you… And me, so don't disappoint us."

"Hahah, you talk like you've lived a million years, little spider, when you were born just a few years ago." Smiled the Demon King. "What do you know that I don't know?"

"My age… is not an issue." Smiled the spider. "Some time ago, I've come to the realization that I am not as young as it appears, and that I have a much greater purpose. I must stop the reconstruction of the Origin World at all costs… And Kireina is my eternal rival."

"Hoh, now that sounds interesting. Hah, doesn't it make it even more ironic that we're working together now?" Smiled the Demon King, caressing the head of one of her concubines, a gigantic lamia woman.

"Our goals are the same, so we'll work together. You can count on my powers for now, Demon King…" She said. "And my swarm too… However, keep in mind that acquiring this World's Core, which is the Fragment of the Origin World, is the purpose of our Masters, the Usurpers of Destiny. Do not dare… step out of your boundaries."

"Hahaha, relax. Why would I?" Smiled the Demon King. "When everything that's going to happen is all according to my expectations. Now that they're all together, it's time to give me a good show." He laughed. "I want to see where this story will end. And I am so excited to meet you eventually, Kireina. So now, make sure to work hard, things are only going to get harder from now on, alright~?"

His powers expanded across the entirety of the landscape, as darkness and purple energy flowed across the underground. The earth shook, and enormous buildings resembling black- and purple-colored towers started growing one after another across the area that divided the Wastelands of the Demon Kingdom with the Dwarven Stronghold Country.

Dozens of these towers started popping up in mere seconds, overflowing with Mana and Chaotic Energies, as monstrosities began emerging from within their depths one after another, quickly forming armies of millions…

For the first time in history, the Demon King decided to show off his power completely. Small Dungeons popping up sometimes? It was all but a farse to give everyone a false sense of security.

His true powers could simply create them simultaneously, and the more he expanded his power and domain across the entire world, the more they could emerge.

"I'll crush the Stronghold of the other races and shatter the Alliance when it has been just formed." The Demon King laughed. "Aaahh! I can't wait to see your agonizing faces as your precious people are eaten alive by my children! Now, go, my monstrosities… Devour it all!"

Millions of monsters charged towards their target. Their appearances varied, resembling monstrous chimeras of different types of monsters stuck together, most of them were also half-undead, overflowing not only with Chaos Energy, but with Necrotic Energies.

"Now let's see what you can accomplish, Kireina! I want to see you struggle! I want to see you suffer! Let's see if you can truly save everyone now! Bwahaha… HAHAHAHAHA!"

As the laugher of the Demon King echoed across the Wastelands, the Demon tribes living around his Castle heard his terrifying laughter, as they sensed his powers expanding across the world.

"The Demon King is moving his forces…"

"I-Is it finally starting? Will we finally claim back the fertile lands?"

"Demon King… He's finally doing it!"

"He's working hard so we can live better lives…!"

"The Demon King…" A little girl amidst the crowd glanced at the distant castle. "I wonder what sort of person he is…"

Meanwhile, back in Genesis, within the Realm of Helheim, Hel, the Queen of Death glanced at the landscape with a furious expression in her face. Just some minutes ago, she was completely crushed by Kireina, and became incapable of exerting any more of her powers into Grand Terra, the mysterious world where Kireina was thrown into.

"That damn Kireina…"

However, that wasn't all, while Kireina's allies were struggling as they fought their way across her many traps and foes she prepared for them, Hel also realized something happened to her Master, the Ruler of the Necrotic Realm.

"How could she even reach my Great Master too?! A-And even the Ruler of the Maxima Universe… What sort of monster is she becoming?! That vicious worm! I'll crush her entire family before she can even come back!" Hel roared in fury.

"I see that you're quite motivated now, Master Hel~" The voice of a treacherous spider resonated behind her.

"Huh? Spider Empress?" Asked Hel. "What do you want?! And where have you been?"

"I have come to offer you… An interesting deal." The eight-eyed schemer smiled. "Shall we bring this war to her own world?"

"Oh?" Hel quickly realized what the spider meant. Her face twisting on a vicious, wicked smile. "I see… So you only want to bring even more chaos. It does sounds… interesting."

"With my newly awakened powers, and the master's named Usurpers of Destiny, such Destiny can be weaved into reality through my spiderwebs." Said the Spider Empress. "The cooperation of that world's Demon King is now assured as well."

"Huh… That damned and useless Genie was taken down, but you're saying that the Demon King still wants to cooperate with us? I cannot manifest myself there though, what exactly is your plan?" Hel asked.

"Exactly what I said." The Spider Empress smiled. "Literally."

"Y-You mean…?! You can actually create such a space-time distortion?!" Hel was shocked, an even bigger and vile smile surged on her fair white lips. "Hahaha… This sounds more promising than I thought~"

Unbeknownst by Kireina's allies, the war within Helheim would take a sudden, and more chaotic shift.
