Chapter 102: How's It Sound?
Great Forest of Jura,
North Eastern Border,
Vast Plains,
Galahad POV,
Rimuru had just arrived at the battlefield, the other Demon Lords were standing a bit far off discussing something. They looked like they were on vacation! Before he could join them however, "Then let us begin! Armageddon!" Rudra shouted, throwing out his hands.
The entire sky lit up in a golden light as the sounds of trumpets being blown thundered from above surprising them all. Luminous looked up annoyed, "These flies." she scowled folding her arms, these things arrived every 500 years and laid waste to civilization so she naturally disliked them.
"Open! Gates of Heaven!
Dagruel who usually had a very calm expression on his face looked shocked, he stumbled back stupefied. The Gates of Heaven were opening right here! What was he to do?! Side with Heaven as was his duty? He looked to the others around him, or side with his comrades?
Galahad noticed his dilemma and slightly puffed up his chest in pride, with Dino gone there was no attachment to Heaven on Dagruel's side well apart from the fact that he was the Gate Guardian. This time around he may not betray them, Galahad didn't want to kill a friend if it could be helped.
Milim looked up annoyed, these things really were annoying! They killed everyone whether they be innocent or guilty without discrimination, there were too many losses. She growled slightly flaring her aura, she hated them!
Leon looked up a bit surprised, he had heard of Heaven attacking every five hundred years but this was his first time actually observing the phenomenon in person. He waved his hand erecting a golden barrier as hundreds of thousands of light beams fell directly on it, explosions rang out and as they cleared away, the barrier was mostly unharmed.
Mere drones wouldn't be enough to hold back an ultimate skill! Rimuru hurriedly ran over, "What's this?!" he asked panicking, he was picking up a force numbering in the millions in the skies. They weren't weak either, every single one was an A ranked monster class and on top of that there were numerous S Class Monster level individuals throughout the place as well.
"This is..Heaven." Ramiris muttered out biting her nail, they were in a lot of trouble if one of the Seven Primordial Angels came down here. The Seraphim could be dealt with even if they were strong, Luminous and Leon would lose miserably once they actually started coming down but the others could deal with them pretty easily. Galahad looked at them amused, this was going to be a good one.
The Primordials....could only be matched by the first Generation Demon Lords but the problem is there were Seven of them and only three of the Demon Lords minus Ramiris of course. Or that is what they would have you believe! In terms of raw power sure but as far as skills go?
The Primordials lose in a hundred out of a hundred cases! "Well this is.....a war." Galahad muttered out yawning, with this the long time plan to take over Heaven would come to fruition! He looked to Dagruel, "So who....do you..choose?" he asked, glancing at him, if necessary he would have to fight Dagruel and that wasn't something he was looking forward to.
Galahad was not omnipotent, against something completely illogical and not related to magic he was going to have some problems, the Quasi Breaker doesn't work based on any laws so his immunity went to hell and on top of that it was a molecular breakdown of everything regardless of nature. So yes it was going to be a problem.
"Heaven?" Rimuru muttered out looking at the swarms of grotesque creatures swarming down the sky, those didn't look like angels at all! Dagruel looked at Galahad conflicted, at one hand he had the people who let his race die but now he knew they had no actual hand in it, they just didn't try to stop it however they had no obligation to it either so it wasn't their fault when you think about it calmly.
Spending time with them he had come to trust all of them thanks to Galahad who despite being lazy actually actively interacted with him, he called it a way to get over his lack of male friends...Leon was a femboy so he didn't count. Rimuru had already calmed down, he was confident that with the people here they could repel them!
Ramiris, noticing the tension in the air, put a hand on her mouth and laughed smugly, she signaled to Galahad, "With him here. I don't think Heaven even stands a chance." she said proud of herself, with Galahad here it was actually Heaven that was in trouble.
Galahad chuckled, that was true. He was fully intent on defeating Heaven and taking it over but why was she proud of herself? Velgrynd looked at the group which had visibly calmed down with a confused face, "Don't you trust him too much?" she asked curiously, they showed too much trust in him!
"Heh. A lizard that lost miserably has no right to say that." Luminous retorted, folding her arms, she knew Galahad had beaten Velgrynd, that was his goal for millennia after all. Velgrynd flared her aura in anger, she had no right to insult her! "What did y-?!" she was about to attack but noticed Galahad raising his brow and quieted down, "I-I apologize." she said meekly, Galahad was surprised.
It appeared that he had really done a number on her for her to be this submissive and meek. Well she did just find out the man she loved was dead for a long time and he wasn't some do gooder who would help her find him and she died 13,000 times over so it made sense too.
Before they could proceed any further the sounds of laughter rang out, "Hahahahaha! Heaven's Gate?" Guy asked folding her arms and pointed one forward, "Then let's end this!" she shouted excitedly. A sinister looking gigantic gate opened up behind her, the strongest of the Primordials and the one who held the greatest authority in the Demonic Realm!
"Hell's Gate!" She announced grinning widely, this would have been impossible before but with Nodens summoning this thing here was quite easy, the only problem is she had no control over the demons from the other factions, she only controlled the red demons. The others chose to die than to submit and she knew why.
She stared at Galahad amused, this motherfucker probably didn't even know about it. By making four out of the seven Primordial Demons submit to him, he had by extension earned the loyalty of each of their respective factions as well. In simple words, the Jaune, Blanc, Vert, and Bleu factions were his to command.
That is because the Primordials themselves were the de facto rulers of each of their factions, well it was true that the Rouge Faction had the highest number of combatants but she didn't like that the angel demon hybrid held a lot of influence even in the Demonic Realm.
Galahad glanced at the gate, well this was Heaven's loss. The Demons were specifically designed to kill Angels and they had Arch Demons and the likes among them too, a direct counter to the Seraphim. He looked at the swarms of angels coming down from the sky and then at the Demons who had begun streaming out of Hell's Gate in vast numbers.
Of course the Hell Gate connected directly to the territories of Carrera, Rein and Mizari so the first demons to arrive belonged to their factions. They would have gone rampant here and destroyed everything but the presence of Guy made them think twice about it. That is before they noticed Galahad, they recognized the man who had lived in their realm for several hundred years.
His visage was even more terrifying than they would have thought, loyalty and submission to him had been ingrained into their very existences. Though they still had free will, they would rather avoid incurring the Wrath of the Primordials. An Arch Demon walked forward and came next to Galahad before kneeling down leaving Galahad confused.
"Master of my master, I kneel to you." he said respectfully, his green hair stood out a lot. It identified him as a member of the Vert Faction. Following him a wild looking blonde girl with several katanas by her side kneeled, they couldn't let the grassy bastards get ahead of them! "As the master of our master, you are by extension our master! Nice to meet ya!" she said standing up and saluting with a grin, according to their Master this man loved battle, that meant he was someone they could accept!
Following the two hundreds of thousands of demons kneeled down in front of a Galahad who had a look of horror on his face as he realized why this was happening. He made the Primordials submit but he forgot about their factions! Even in canon their respective factions did submit to Rimuru, the dukes, counts and all other high ranking ones did and all others were under them!
A noble looking man with pure white hair kneeled, "I hope my Master has not been troubling you my Lord. The Blanc faction submits to you as well." he said slightly smiling, he was enjoying the look on Galahad's face because it was obvious the man forgot about them. Lastly a woman with long blue hair kneeled, "As you bested our Master in direct combat, we also choose to submit." she announced smirking at Guy Crimson, that bitch thought she would be able to control them!
Like that within seconds a force numbering in the millions composed solely of Demons of all ranks had submitted to Galahad. Ready to engage with the angels, in other words. Guy's plan of using them backfired royally and Galahad ended up gaining the loyalty of four out of seven major factions in the Demonic Realm.
This scene of millions of demons simply kneeling was something to remember for sure! This sparked a new ambition in the usually lazy Galahad. How does the 'Emperor of Heaven and Hell' sound?
Chronoa who had just arrived looked around stupefied, this timeline diverted a lot! Like a lot lot! Too much actually, "What's happening?" she muttered out looking at the legions of kneeling demons and then looking up at the cracking golden barrier which was preventing the angels from coming down! Milim patted Galahad's back happily, she was very happy for him! He had gained a lot of new loyal followers!
