Kapitel 414: Things from the 100th Timeline

The 100th Timeline.

The Timeline of the 'Emerging Demons'.

Those Awakened mortals, or part of the Divine, or Deviant, might be remembered living in this Timeline as the time when many Demons emerged.

Unlike any timeline, the Deviant Demons were at their peak in their rebellion against the Divine, not just from the Deviants, but also mortals who happened to form large Demonic Sects at that time, claiming themselves as 'demons' despite their actual race.

In this timeline's context, those humans called or labeled as 'demons' are usually those who somehow learned the ways of the 'Ki', the Martial Arts, combining it with the Demonic Energy and thus, becoming dangerous warriors.

The Divine Hero, Carla Kent, always fought these 'demons' of humanity, she fought many of them and even once lost to one of them who was revered as the 'Heavenly Demon', a mortal demon who is too strong for mortal and divine standards which his name will be used in the later Timelines by those who were too strong in the realm of 'Martial Arts'.

Speaking of these 'Mortal Demons'..., another person happened to gain and combine the two energies and have it the same as the 'Heavenly Demon' himself.

The person fought an ancient demon, despite his old age, challenging it and defeating it, fully bathed in its power as he absorbed it which grants him a body more powerful than his prime in the person's old age.

And that person, at that Timeline, was none other..., than Ragna Orion 'Masaru' Kent, the Ragna Kent from the 100th Timeline, known by some who knows him as the 'Demon's Slayer'.

[ Location: Realm of Sanctuary ]

[ Unknown Fortress inside the Dark Forest ]

Carla and Seraphim go into a chamber, where they arrive at their destination, a large hibernating device.

[ Ricardo Leonard 'Alucard'* Sean Warwick Kent ]

[ Timeline Effect Neutralizer Hibernating Device Activated. ]

[ Progress: 90.33% ]

" Goodness gracious Uncle will be awake soon... " Carla says after seeing the device, seeing her 'uncle' that her Grandad made with Seraphim back in the 100th Timeline.

Seraphim hears Carla's words and looks at her spawn, her Nephilim Spawn.

" 'Nephilim'*, the 'Bane of Two Worlds'. "

" A being with an unnatural talent of light and dark, a breach between the apex races... "

" Even the Elder Divine, perhaps even the Titans of the primordial times, feared the possible emergence of this existence due to the natural gifts they possessed. "

" For to produce such creature, one should match that of the Divine and the other from the Deviant..., matching them together to bear this 1/1.000.000 chance of this particular hybrid. "

" 1/1.000.000.000 chance in fact after the Divine and Deviant decreed that no Divine-Deviant Hybrid will be ever made again and the cross-mating between the two races shall be forbidden ever since, even after the establishments of the Timelines. "

" But here we are, Me, Seraphim, the Divine Archangel managed to produce this forbidden creature with a human who happens to have demonic powers after defeating a real one. "

" Which is quite unnatural for a human, or is he? " Seraphim says it.

" But why did Seraphim do it? Why agree to make Uncle Warwick in the first place? " Carla asks still not agreeing with the whole thing despite it already happened Timelines ago, she still couldn't fathom the whole reason for this.

" Like said, it was Ragna Twelve's idea at the time as he presented Ragna Hundred to match me. "

" We simply extracted some of our necessary body parts required for the genetical foundation and experimented hard while using it, not do what you mortals do to make another of yourself. " Seraphim explained.

" The fact Seraphim and Grandpa use experiments to make uncle makes it even worse. " Carla replied with great disgust.

" To think that Grandpa even dared to use Grandma's blood in doing this, Carla still couldn't fathom... "

" How could Grandpa do such a thing? Betraying grandma to do 'this'...? This is even worse than Grandpa having a huge party with many women back in the Niigata Sea...* "

" Heck, the fact Grandpa disappeared while still 'married' to Grandma still amuses Carla to this point on how hideous he could be sometimes. "

" But just why...? " Carla wonders, her thoughts and doubts begin to creatively arrange things.

" Is it because Grandpa Twelve happened to receive a 'vision' from his 'Twelve Eye' and thought it would be a great idea to have a kid that was an experimented forbidden species? "

" Just..., just why- "

" 'Numbers'..., Ragna Twelve at the time told me that he needed this due to our numbers. " Seraphim replied.

" Despite my strengths as well as the other Angelus remained that I command..., it is still not enough. "

" For us, who are still loyal to the 'Creator', lacked so much if we had to fight the Diviners in a full-scale war. "

" Lacking in numbers, lacking in weapons, lacking in power as well as power balance..., for the gap between the minor Angel to the ones just like me are too high..., even Ragna Twelve at the time believed that they would be wiped out if the DIviners had more Valkyries up on their sleeves. "

" That's why your uncle Warwick here is needed, despite your dismay. " Seraphim explains while looking at Carla.

" You are powerful, Divine Hero Carla Kent, truly powerful. "

" For to even Zadkiel decided to give you the 'Twelve Eye' before you passed it to your Grandfather at the end of the 12th Timeline.* " Seraphim praises.

" But still, even if you fought the Diviners with us in your full strength, or perhaps in your true body of sorts. " Seraphim mentions Carla as her soul is in another person's body right now.

" You will still need another one that might be of your caliber to help you in this fight. " Seraphim tells Carla that which Carla sighs.

" Guess Carla gets into the crossfire again... " Carla says it despite her dismay.

" But if we don't do this..., we... " Carla remembers her constant suffering in each timeline, not just her, but its effects on the ones closest to her.

As Carla thinks about it, Seraphim then glows her eyes, summoning a sword made from her Divine Light.

* Seraphim swings her sword at Carla. *

" What's that, Seraphim? " Carla asks after fleeing from it.

" Dear Carla... " Seraphim says after failing to strike at Carla.

" I know anything that I say would never make you forgive that, but still... "

" Before the Tournament, your Grandad did spend some time with me, as I instructed him with things in return with him instructing me. "

" For he instructs me to train you as well as the Battle Maiden, hoping that you'll need to master fighting using the Maiden's body..., as well as the Maiden fighting using your soul's strength. "

" He also instructs me to train you until you at least reach the level of what you reached in the 100th Timeline. " Seraphim tells Carla which makes Carla stutter, she begins to remember something or even realize something after hearing the mentioning of her Power Level in the 100th Timeline.

" Carla's power level in the 100th Timeline? " Carla asks in her confusion but realizes there's something that should be considered on what Seraphim just told.

" Carla's soul as a mortal had lived so many Timelines, so sudden-ambiguous things like this won't surprise Carla that hard. "

" Especially if Grandpa hints on how strong Carla was back in the 100th Timeline, it may not be like in the 12th Timeline where Carla's power level is too much to handle, but... " Carla wonders while looking at Battle Maiden's body.

" I'm not sure if Mrs. Diane could handle it, handle the training and Carla's power support, Carla- "

" Will Carla do it or not? " Seraphim asks with a louder tone despite the voice may not classify as a scream or a shout, the voice was raised to the point where Carla gets pissed on hearing it first hand.

" Mrs. Diane... " Carla speaks softly.

" Carla's so sorry if Carla had to overuse Mrs. Diane's body. "

" Not because Carla wants to dominate it, but in actuality... "

" Lady Seraphim's right..., Carla won't forgive her after everything that happened... "

" Even if it's all for Carla's good as Grandpa always claimed. " Carla says this as she begins to face Seraphim at that very moment.

...

( Meanwhile. )

[ Outside Sanctuary Realm's Barrier. ]

[ Unknown Battleship. ]

" If what Lord Zeus says is true, then the White Demon's hiding place is here? " says Vlad 'Ragna' Arcanon who survived the Tournament Massacre somehow.

" To think there's another inhabitable realm other than Earth, the world is surely more vast than the great fortresses and halls of Arzan. "

" The world was once for the mortals to inhabit, " said Hades as he wore the crown that binds him, he had no choice but to speak.

" But mortals were too entitled to be gifted with the world, so thus the creation of monsters that we Devi-keurgh! " Hades felt the 'Crown of Thoughts'* tightens and shrinks, pressing his head as it glows.

" Dammit, garkh! " Hades rants about how painful the crown is.

" To think that monkey survives every time the crown's effect's activated? " Hades suddenly says that, confusing Vlad.

" Pardon? "

" It's nothing, my brother's Avatar, urgh! "

" Before me, there's another who was given this kind of crown for his rabble against the Divine, a Monkey. "

" His crown was just like this one, but the one I wore was simply the weaker version than the one he wore as the monkey's crown was made by the Jade Palace, the original designer of this Crown. " Hades explains.

" Interesting... " Vlad thinks about it.

" Perhaps I'll ask you even more, about this 'Monkey' you spoke of. "

" But before that... *licking lips*, I shall first decimate this world we have here. "

" For Zeus..., right Demon? " Vlad asks while Hades struggles over his crown as well as the others that Vlad brings with him from Tartarus.

Extra:

* 'Nephilim'.

The forbidden hybrid between the Diviners and the Deviants. Usually, this hybrid comes from the Angelus race such as Seraphim, thus the reason why 'Warwick' here, Ragna's Experimented Son, happened to be one despite Ragna Hundred being simply a Human combined with Demon powers.

Before the Second Holy War, before the establishment of the Timeline Reboots, the Nephilims were many, before the Diviners and Deviants massacred them all due to fear.

* Grandpa having a huge party with many women back in the Niigata Sea...

Read Chapter 287: The Hunt's Trap Part 3.

* For to even Zadkiel decided to give you the 'Twelve Eye' before you passed it to your Grandfather at the end of the 12th Timeline.

Read the Opening Chapters, it's mentioned.

* 'Crown of Thoughts'.

First mentioned in Chapter 393: 'Day -1: Tartarus Recruit'.

The Golden Circlet Crown was used by the Divine to control those in Tartarus when they had to bring them outside.

It gives the gods direct control and quick torture to those with rebellious intentions, just like a certain being that Hades mentioned.

* 'Alucard'.

The name 'Alucard' was Ragna Current's idea since he was flabbergasted when he knew he had he kid who survived the Timeline Reboot and had the appearance the same as the character as the name he had given the kid with. You know?

( Extra Dialogue: )

" This is my son and yours from the 100th Timeline. " Seraphim shows Ragna Current to Warwick for the first time.

" Shit! My son is Alucard! " Ragna immediately correlated the kid's appearance to Alucard once he saw it.

" Does that mean I'm 'Dracula' now? I know I am like the 'Lord of Shadows', but... "

( End Dialogue. )

Fun fact:

In some European countries, Ragna is often called 'Dracula' due to his cowl and cape black gothic appearances as well as his smooth transcendent pale white skin.
