All According To Keikaku

Earth, Year 12008, May 21, 9:50 Am

This planet, Earth, was once hailed as the overlord of the universe due to the unparalleled power of its human inhabitants.

All of this was the doing of the Demon God, Asmodeus, who elevated humanity to its zenith, so drastically altering their genetics that other races in the universe began to call them demons.

While Asmodeus was known by many titles and names such as the "Demon God," "Demon Supreme," "One Above the Heavens," "Chaos," "Aryan,", ''Ansh'', ''Antricia'' and ''Asura'' among others, his achievements were unparalleled.

He was the creator of the immortal serum that rendered all of humanity deathless.

He crafted a perfect body for himself and accomplished feats beyond imagining. He defeated all the gods who ruled over worlds, making them his servants.

Due to his actions, many started to refer to him as the "God of Gods."

As a result, Earth was regarded as the most formidable planet. However, its golden age swiftly concluded when the demon race abandoned it for other world, This act left Earth barren yet beautiful once more.

But today, Earth was different. The Moon lay in countless fragments; the Sun was extinguished, and all the other planets were nowhere to be found.

On Earth's surface, a macabre tapestry unfolded, with countless corpses and rivers of blood painting the once verdant lands a grim shade of red.

The bloodshed was so extensive that even the clouds above, now crimson, seemed to mourn the planet's desolation.

"Help m—" The goddess of fate's plea was cut short, her skull mercilessly crushed under Asmodeus's feet.

"Insects," Asmodeus mused coldly as he surveyed the innumerable bodies of gods strewn across the ground.

"I finally got rid of these insects. Now it's your turn," he declared, advancing towards a group of masked individuals lying injured on the ground.

Asmodeus, with his long silver hair, blood-red eyes, and a physique surpassing any god of strength, was a sight of sheer power.

His palms and hands, stained red from the blood he had spilled, bore testimony to his ruthlessness, while his horns showed signs of wear with visible cracks. Yet, his face and muscular form remained unmarred by scars.

"T-T-This was all a trap from the start!" a masked man exclaimed as Asmodeus drew near. "We can't defeat this monster!"

"You know, this world was my home world. And according to this world's time, today marks my 10,000th birthday," Asmodeus revealed, teleporting behind the man who had spoken.

"But you've ruined it," he said, crushing the man's skull. "So, you must be punished, right?"

A year prior, Asmodeus had been indulging in his usual cosmic massacre, overpowering gods, and humiliating them, when suddenly thousands of these masked men, calling themselves the descendants of Nebula, appeared.

They sought the "Cosmic Scriptures," Which asmodeus had.

The so-called Descendants of Nebula had, through unknown means, convinced the gods to turn against the demons and Asmodeus, forging an alliance to challenge his rule.

But, as the aftermath clearly showed, all the gods were effortlessly exterminated, akin to insects, and the descendants of Nebula were dispatched like mere dogs by Asmodeus.

Boom

Abruptly, a fire spear soared towards Asmodeus. He dodged, but the spear tore the earth asunder, leaving it bifurcated.

"You finally decided to show yourself, huh!" Asmodeus exclaimed, his gaze fixed on a figure floating in mid-air. This new adversary had long black hair, wore garments reminiscent of a cultivator, and held his hands behind his back.

"Leader has arrived," one of the masked men exclaimed in a burst of joy, believing salvation was at hand.

"We are saved now—" His words were cut short as all the masked men around asmodeus exploded into oblivion.

"Oh! Looks like I've eliminated your dogs," Asmodeus remarked, his cold smile conveying no remorse.

"Demon God, why not simply surrender and hand over the Cosmic Scriptures to me?" Nian, the figure floating in mid-air, proposed with an air of confidence.

"You're just courting death. I have a better offer for you: Cripple your cultivation and kowtow before me, and I will grant you a painful death," Asmodeus said.

In his tone, it was clear that if Nian didn't comply with what Asmodeus demanded, he would subject him to torture for millions of years, a fate worse than death.

''Demon god you joke too much don't you'' Nian said with an smile and then added ''Or should I just call you by your real name An-''.

But before Nian could finish his sentence, Asmodeus created a star and hurled it towards him. Mid-air, it transformed into a spear. Although it was swift, Nian managed to dodge it.

Then, the two commenced battle, and within a minute of their clash, Earth was decimated, leaving only some floating islands behind.

Nian summoned an artifact of flame, engulfing Asmodeus's entire body in fire.

"Do you think destroying my body is enough to kill me?" Asmodeus reappeared behind him, sword in hand, and cleaved his body in half.

 Asmodeus's regenerative ability was the one of the terrifying aspect of his power; as long as cosmic energy remained within him, he could regenerate his body from even a single atom.

Similarly, Nian's bisected body regenerated in just a nanosecond.

"You should be honored, Asmodeus, that I'm using my ultimate attack against you," Nian yelled as a golden spear appeared in his hand.

It was his last resort, the "Heaven Splitting Spear," a weapon bestowed upon him by his ancestor.

To be honest, Nian was terrified because, for reasons unknown to him, Asmodeus seemed to grow stronger with each passing moment.

"Let's see your so-called 'best attack,'" Asmodeus said, his expression unbothered as if he didn't take Nian seriously.

Asmodeus then extended his hand, creating a black hole that soon morphed into a long spear with the properties of time and space.

Boom.

Both of them launched their weapons at each other, and upon collision, an explosion of unimaginable proportions occurred, destroying stars within an infinite radius.

"What!" Asmodeus exclaimed as the golden spear shattered his black hole spear and struck him.

He could be seen falling to the ground, using a stone to prop himself up.

"So this is what my blood looks like, huh?" he remarked, observing the red blood flowing from his wounds. It was the first time in thousands of years he had seen his own blood.

"You've lost," Nian declared as he approached Asmodeus. Though Nian was injured, the brunt of the explosion had impacted Asmodeus, not him.

But If Nian failed to complete his task, his organization would execute him, so he endured the pain he felt.

"Seems so," Asmodeus replied. He then added, "Here, take the Cosmic Scriptures which you so desperately want. I don't need them anymore." A floating scroll appeared in his hand.

Nian moved towards the scriptures to take them, harboring no suspicion that Asmodeus might launch a sneak attack.

Given Asmodeus's severe injuries, it seemed he would perish within minutes, especially after being hit by a weapon potent enough to nearly destroy a universe in the sacred timeline.

However, as Nian drew closer to Asmodeus, numerous black holes emerged, intertwining and beginning to swallow both Nian and Asmodeus.

"D-Demon god, what are you doing?" Nian yelled.

"Do you really think I would hand over the Cosmic Scriptures? If you did, you're a fool," Asmodeus declared as his body started to glow and then exploded, nearly killing Nian and destroying his cultivation base.

"Nooooooooooooooooooo!"

Nian screamed as he was sucked into the super black hole that had formed, imprisoned for eternity.

Eteles, D-rank dungeon

In a cave within the dungeon, one could see a boy lying unconscious on the ground, his body marred with numerous injuries, surrounded by a group of goblins ready to tear his body apart and eat him.

But soon, his body began to glow, and he woke up.

"Ahahahahah," the boy started to laugh like a psychopath.

"All according to keikaku," the boy suddenly said, his eyes turning red and his shadow starting to show horns on his forehead.
