Space and even time around him started to… not distort, but melt. Indeed, it was as if by merely willing it, his very existence melted the spatial layers that made up the pillars that sustained the world.
The result? Strange red- and purple-colored flames materializing out of thin air as they melted the fabric of space and time, suddenly distorting it all behind him into the shape of a huge, blazing gate.
As this happened, we felt strangely paralyzed, as if whatever ritual or magic he was using, it was affecting existence as a whole.
This wasn't just a Divine Ability…
"[Infernal Gates of Hell]"
The young man spoke, a smile emerging on his lips as his eyes glared with deadly, maliciously blazing energies, the gate made of flames distorted space, as if connecting our reality with another.
TRUUUUUMMMM…!
A huge shockwave was unleashed, shaking the entire world around us. I glanced into the skies as I noticed countless cracks in the empty air beginning to open the more the gates grew in size.
It was similar to the Chaotic Realm Gate that the Deep One had once opened back in the Aquarius Archipelago… Yet at the same time, it felt much more terrifying.
Because it wasn't just an invasion, it was a being of this world bringing the horrors of another into our own reality.
The gates opened, revealing from within an endless wasteland of darkness, flames, and agonizing shrieks and screams.
"W-What is he doing?!" Surtr asked, shaking in disbelief. "H-He's… Is that a gate to another world?! He can just do that?!"
"N-No, this is not just another world, kid…" I laughed, swallowing saliva. "This is… just another dimension entirely."
"Hmph, do you have to show off so much?" The shadowy figure sighed at the side of the demon.
"Come on now, let's give them a scare." The demon smiled. "It has been such a long time since I was put to sleep… I really want to see what the Gods of this time can do. I wonder if they can even compare to Odin or Ymir?"
Odin or Ymir?! What is this guy even talking about? Those Gods that died literally millions of years ago?! He meet them?! Just who is he?!
I tried using the System to identify him as he conjured his strange powers, but I couldn't learn anything!
Ding!
[Analyzing target…]
[WARNING!]
[An alien energy is disrupting the analyzing process!]
[Further attempts at analyzing the target's powers, abilities, and soul will result on damage to the System's internal synapsis!]
"System! You can't analyze him?!"
[I-I really can't! And every time I try, it hurts…! It feels as if something is trying to tear apart my core into pieces… Just what is he?!]
[And whoever is at his side, he's being protected by whatever power is veiling over his strange body…]
"Shit…"
"Hahahaha…! Did you try to pull out a trick on me, kid?" Laughed the demon. "Let me tell you something… I am not someone you can just mess around with. And you'll learn the reason why right now."
The enormous Infernal Gates, which in just twenty seconds expanded up to a hundred meters, finally stopped growing larger, and then, something from within emerged- no, many things.
Countless of aberrant eyes, fleshy tentacles, limbs, claws, heads, tongues, fangs, everything! A mass of countless aberrant, demonic beasts started pouring out of the gates. Enormous in size, with slightly familiar yet monstrous and aberrant, mutated shapes.
"ROOOARRRR!"
Some looked as if they were between life and death, with bodies falling apart and melting, yet constantly regenerating. Others were humanoid in shape, tall, muscular, red skinned and adorned with many sharp horns.
"GRYYAAARGH!"
Others resembled aberrant chimeras, with one looking like a fire dragon with ten heads, each head being the head of a different beast, letting out flames and all sorts of toxic poisonous gases.
"GRUOOHHH…!"
Unlike the Chaotic Plane's inhabitants who seemed to be slightly the same, just in different shapes, each Demonic Creature looked different, and just as menacing…
"What are you bringing to our world?!" I roared. "You think you can just stop us with just a few beasts?"
"Few beasts?" Laughed the man. "These are not just "a few beasts"… They are what some call inhabitants of the Plane of Hell!"
"Inhabitants of Hell…?" Surtr stepped back in disbelief. "I-I've never heard of anything like that…"
"Me neither…" Benladann muttered. "So there's something else than just the Chaotic Plane out there…?"
"But who the hell is he?!" Miranda asked angrily. "Wait… is my recent evolution something to do with what he has brought here?"
As the Monstrous Creatures started to crawl out of the Hell Gate, the man was lifted by a huge, muscular, red-skinned Oni-like being, holding him over his huge palm.
All the monsters he summoned were completely submissive to him, he ordered them with just his thoughts, and they obeyed all his orders.
It wasn't just the ability to open the gates… He was their King.
"Maybe I should tell you a story first." He said. "Once upon a time, there was a boy that was summoned against his will by the greedy and selfish gods of this world. They tried to control that boy, they tried to torture him to extract his powers, but at the end, the boy discovered his own powers alone, and summoned an endless army of friends, who fought for him, and conquered half the world. They filled the Realms with their own kin and devoured everything else. Eventually, the Gods gave us a name… Demons."
"And I can tell that you're a still growing Demon King, hah." He smiled, glancing into my eyes. "Have you ever stopped to think where the power of Demon Kings emerged? Where did the monsters came from even before the Dungeon Maker was summoned? They weren't made by the world. They weren't made by the Gods either…"
"T-That smile, those powers… T-The Demons…!" Aegir suddenly manifested herself at our side, she was constantly grabbing her head, as if being tormented by her own memories. "I've remembered something… I remember HIM! That monster…! [Pandemonium]!"
