The Demon Lords Return

with everything done, The others returned to the hotel. Sora didn't bother to see the others, and he couldn't stay as he had work to do, so after saying goodbye to Erza, he went back to the demon realm where he began filling up the blood pond. He was sure the sisters of fate knew what he was doing and might even inform the gods,

they couldn't act as they wish, fate worked in mysterious ways, and Sora knew how it works. there were ways to change a ways fate, for example, Zeus changed his fate when he was about to have a child with his first wife. the sisters of fate told him that the children would end up overthrowing him.

of course, Zeus turned his wife into a fly and eat his wife before she could give birth, that way he avoided that fate, as he killed it before it could even be birthed. It's not that troublesome to change fate which had already been birthed. just destroy it or change it.

Since fate would most likely work on the side of the gods, Sora needed to pull out every card in the game to make sure he could win. and that would turn out to be the right move, the heroes from the endless numbers of worlds were being returned to life, as the gods got news of what Sora was planning from the sisters of fate.

"... that should be enough," Sora said softly while looking at the huge lake of blood before him before he slapped the blood river. the river suddenly began to enlarge, be it the quality or the power behind the blood, it went on to grow until it reached Sora's current limit, a planet of blood.

"Well, you have been dead for far too long, demons of the past... return," Sora yelled as a huge amount of life energy shot into the sky. all over the demon realm, the many races looked up at the planet which suddenly appeared in the sky, the planet began shaking at a high state before dots began falling towards the planet,

stunned, everyone watched as the things didn't burn away, and went on to land heavily all around the demon realm, over 10 fell, and once they did, their aura spread out. those demons which have been alive for the longest, their eyes widened as they knew who this aura belonged to. it was none other than the demons of the past,

they are all currently laying on the ground, out cold, but they were slowly awakening, and their powerful auras caused the world to shake. Sora shot into the sky, and his aura filled the sky, drawing all of the demons towards him.

"Are you the current demon Lord?" A huge Demon who was covered in scales that seemed like armor asked with narrowed eyes while sizing Sora up and down. Sora looked at him before looking at the many demon lords before smiling,

"I'm the current demon lord, just call me Demon lord Sora, as you look down below, you will all see the chances I bought to the demon realm. a world of peace," Sora said calmly, and the demon lord looked down and instantly frown, peace only brought upon weaknesses, how could the demon race fall weak while the gods live

"let me catch you all up on what happened in the past few years." Sora pointed forward, and instantly, all of them found themselves stunned as they knew what happened in the past thousand years,

"you're only 25% human? Only a pure-blooded demon can be the demon lord," the demon covered in scales said with a deep frown, the others all nodded at this, only a pure-blooded demon should lead the demons.

"no, the most capable person should become the demon lord, I have done more than all of you, but then again I needed the help of a capable demon lord, one with a brain," Sora said as he looked towards a little girl, she was the past demon lord, and it was all so smooth because of her.

"Indeed, I'm with him." She nodded slightly, and a few demons nodded at this. in the past, most of them could barely get past the hero, yet Sora did that and managed to kill the gods,

"But I do understand that strength speaks volumes, so I will take on everyone who thinks I'm not worthy of being the demon lord," Sora said, making all of the demon lords' eyes narrow, they were offended, but above all, they wanted to test Sora's strength. looking at each other, they nodded, accepting the challenge, although they believed that one of them was enough.

the weakest among them were at level 200, and the strongest among them was at level 275. of course, those above 240 were among the first demons and the first demon lords. Sora went on to create some space between himself and the demons,

"you ready? I don't want to hear anyone saying a bullied you, pure blood or not, you did something to the demon race we couldn't do, I don't wish for any bad blood." the first demon lord, Demiurge said calmly as he stepped forward. He was the first demon and the first demon lord, out of everyone here, he was the strongest.

"I'm ready," Sora said with crossed arms, Demiurge's eyes narrowed slightly before he shot toward Sora at high speed, being 25 levels above Sora, he was indeed stronger than Sora. but as his attack was about to hit Sora, Sora disappeared, leaving Demiurge to hit the air, creating powerful winds which destroyed the land in front of him.

turning around, he looked at Sora who was floating not too far away, with crossed arms and closed eyes. seeing as Sora was looking down upon him, he was displeased, but before he could shoot forward, he froze as countless magic circles appeared all over the place, before he got the chance to study the magic circles, countless creatures were summoned, reaching the hundreds,

"I said for you all to attack together," Sora said calmly, leaving the demon lords to take a step backward in shock while feeling the auras of the summons, the strongest summons was at level 280, with the weakest at level 260, this was too much.

"I alone believe I should be enough to take done the gods, but fate is going against me," Sora said softly, stunning the demons for some time. they all looked at each other for a moment, before they kneed down,

And with that, Sora gained the respect of all the demons, with the blood planet in the sky, Sora had it so that they would come back to life after death through it, so they could fight without worries, there was a total of 150 demon lords Sora brought back, Sora allowed them all to from their own families while making sure they keep the peace or else he shall kill them.

There were more demons that were not demon lords, in total there were 350 demons Sora brought back to life, the original 7 sins returned, the current ones were just their offspring, the original 7 sins were at level 225,

"Do any of you know anything about the angel race?" Sora asked calmly while sitting on his throne, his words stunned the demon race for a moment before out of the 9 realms, one of them belonged to the divine realm, where the angel race lived.

the angels were a race that rarely stepped out of their realm, in the many rares, the most shocking event that came from that realm was the strongest angel from that realm being sealed away within another part of the underworld,

the angel race was no weaker than the gods, they were stronger. they were ruled by a primordial, who birthed them all, so through that one could guess how powerful they were.

"if I may ask, why do you ask?" Lust asked softly as she brought some alcohol, for Sora to drink, Sora took the drink while indeed thought about all of this.

"I want to stop any chances for the gods to survive this," Sora said softly, the sisters of fate were at level 350, which was high, who knew what they could do with such power? drinking the alcohol, Sora looked at the 7 sins, they were the offsprings, as the ones brought back to life were checking up on the chances in this world.

"for now, let's have a party, celebrating the welcome of the demon lords, we shall move from there," Sora said softly with blushed cheeks, barely 10 seconds passed and he was already under the effect of the alcohol, Lust's eyes brightened at this, this was her chances to enjoy herself once more... and that she, did.

anyways, while Sora was cheating, Irene who was enchanting her injuries sighed softly, she had regained enough strength to barely affect her strength, and even then, she was going to need hundreds of years to remove the injuries. she couldn't turn herself back to humans, because of the injuries.

"Erza doesn't have a long lifespan, I already missed out on 19 years worth of her life..." Irene said softly while looking towards Fiore. she wondered if Erza was going alright, but she had to keep herself away, every second she thought of him, she couldn't help but remember how she could take her body and no longer need to suffer.

"your daughter sadly isn't doing well," a voice sounded above her, stunning Erza who looked up to find Ankhseram floating before him. She instantly jumped on guard, but find that the avatar before her was nothing more than a normal person.

"What do the gods want? I am no longer a hero." She said coldly, because of the gods, her life was flipped outside down, she gave everything for this world, and now she had nothing she could give. all she wants to do was be a mother.

"... the gods need you once more," Ankhseram said with a soft sigh, making Irene's eyes narrow coldly, seeing that Ankhseram sighed even deeper,

"Sora had broken free from that seal, and of course, he isn't done with the gods," Ankhseram said softly, making Irene frown slightly, but that no longer had anything to do with her,

"your daughter found his gear, leading to him finding her. he wanted to take her to the demon realm and have her join him, but we had to stop him. we told Erza everything, we admit we were going to use her... in the end, Erza was almost killed by him after seeing she was going to follow in your footsteps," Ankhseram said as he shook his head slightly, Irene's eyes widened hearing what happened, but she shook her head, Sora wouldn't do that... right?

"She is hidden away within the heavenly realm, and we hear the news that he is bringing back all of the demon lords of the past, and is planning to take out the gods. Heroe Irene, even if you don't want to save this world, will you turn your head away from your daughter?" Ankhseram asked softly, but Irene shook her head.

"Sora wouldn't... he can't." She said while shaking her head, seemly as if she was about to lose the last hint of sanity she had left. Ankhseram threw a pill toward Irene, which simply hit her and fell to the ground,

"That pill will heal you and make you strong enough to lead the heroes of the past to deal with Sora, only you can bring down the demon lord, only you can protect your daughter. Sora is only going so far because he fears his daughter's future capability." Ankhseram said as she turned around and floated up into the sky

"of course, you can ignore this, but with how things are, I fear for the worst. what fate awaits your daughter." Ankhseram said as he disappeared, leaving Irene to fall to her knees in shock, and slowly looked at the pill on the ground.

"even after everything, you had everything you had good reason... but don't you dare bring my daughter into this mess," Erza said softly, she still didn't believe Sora would do something like this, one couldn't trust the gods.

She looked at the pill for some time, before enchanting it so she could see the effect, after seeing it would indeed heal her, and make her stronger, she eat the pill. she loved her daughter, and sure she wanted to take her body, that was simply the dragon slayer magic effect.

one should know that it was shocking for Irene to keep her state of mind, many never regained their senses, meanwhile, Erza was enough for her to regain her senses, at least enough for her to stay keep Erza away
