Astral creation

Lucifer's dream

“Ah....A..."

With a dizzy mind, hayashi has slowly regained his consciousness.

“Where am I?" Hayashi slowly asks kosei, who spent the remaining day watching over him.

“You are in the hospital, man your condition was really bad. But don't worry, you'll be okay in two days. This place has S tier doctors treating the contestants."

“What happened to the match, I can't remember everything yet. My memory is all dizzy, I was charging my attack. Did I hit him?" Hayashi doesn't remember him losing against Antonio.

“You lost bro, you gave it all you had but Antonio was just too strong."

The word of kosei hurts hayashi, who wanted to win the match so badly. Now that hayashi has been knocked out of the tournament, kosei is the only one to remain.

After many other fights, the semi finale matchup has been decided.

Kosei was able to qualify to the semi finale, along with Krishna, Antonio and tihsan.

“What? How can it be? How did that boy qualify to the top 4 in his first try? Santiago couldn't qualify? That's bullshit, there must have been some outside influence. Santiago is a prodigy, the best student of mine in the last 100 years. How could he lose?"

Marduk, one of the round table lord's is shocked to find out about the outcome of the tournament. The round table leaders have returned back to the city, after defeating their enemy.

“Come on Marduk, don't be so salty and take it like a real man. That tihsan boy is just too good, Santiago never had anything to beat him. I wish we were here to see just how tihsan beat Santiago, that would have been interesting. I have both my students still in the tournament, luckily they haven't faced tihsan. Not that they would lose though, I have full faith in them." Hanuman compliments himself.

During the knock outs, the student of fu hao has beaten Santiago. Santiago had the power of lord Azazel, a godly power hard for mortals to control. Even with that crazy power, he couldn't beat the mighty tihsan. Tihsan has dominated all of his opponents, Santiago and rahamat were the only people who gave him a hard time.

The dominance of tihsan has made Krishna nervous, the guy who is full of self confidence.

After observing the moves tihsan used against Santiago, Krishna wastes no time and starts figuring out how to counter them. Because Krishna will he fighting tihsan in the semi finale.

Kosei has surpassed all expectations from everyone by qualifying to the semi finale at such a young age and with such low experience.

But everyone knew it was all over, because none of the fighters left are nobody's. All of them are considered the strongest. All of them have crazy backgrounds, especially Antonio. Antonio has smashed all of his opponents with his divine gada. Antonio is both faster and physically stronger than Kosei.

“Hey boy, what's up? You look so dull, what's the matter? Don't tell me you are nervous against Antonio, even though you were able to beat so many strong opponents." John tzimiske enters the gym area where kosei was training.

Hayashi is sitting in a wheelchair while watching kosei train. John tzimiske looked very positive as he had full faith on kosei, he always did from the very beginning.

“Oh yeah? Of course I am, that guy is scary. You weren't there when he beat hayashi. That guy is a monster, hayashi gave his all but still he couldn't beat him. How can I? Hayashi is both faster and stronger than me, if he couldn't then how can I?" Kosei doesn't have any faith in himself, he still cannot forget the scenes from before. From the time when hayashi got beaten. The nervous face of kosei disappoints John as he didn't like it.

“I don't think hayashi is stronger than you though, not to he disrespectful to hayashi but you are stronger. You have more talent than hayashi, the talent difference is way too huge. If you train enough, you can go beyond anything hayashi can reach. Your talent is what attracted me that night when I met you, you are amazing kosei. Just because hayashi lost doesn't mean you are going to lose too. Maybe you and hayashi are on the same league now but your fighting style is totally different. You are long range and hayashi is short range, that Antonio guy is also short range. So technically you have the type advantage. You gotta focus on your training and don't worry, I have plenty time to prepare you to fight that monster." John tzimiske tries cheering kosei but both kosei and hayashi stares at him with weird face reaction.

“Eeeeeeehhhh" the two tells John.

“Come on you two, you two have different body types. Kosei is more talented but hayashi is more hard worker. So I am not insulting you hayashi. Let's just do our best to cheer him. Okay? Hehe."

“Okay, just teach me how to beat that Antonio guy. I wanna get revenge for what he did to hayashi." Kosei wants to get stronger to beat Antonio.

“You two are so lucky to have me as your teacher, nobody at your level gets private lessons from someone like me. Maybe except that tihsan guy, but whatever. Most of the others let their great students to teach the younger ones like you. That's why you are not going to lose kosei, you will be learning everything. I want you to beat him and get into the finale, that would break a record. Basically nobody in history has been able to qualify to the finale in their first try except only one guy. I don't care if you win but I just want you to touch that record." John tzimiske smirks.

The training of kosei with John tzimiske begins!

On another world, the dark lord's are mad over what happened on earth.

The outer part of astral world is ruled by Lucifer, who is the only person able to travel the both world as he got that ability from the original god who has vanished into the inner part of the astral world after giving away his power to the worthy ones.

The demon lord ashura who attacked earth disobeyed the orders of Lucifer to do what he did. There are many demon lord's who work for Lucifer, Lucifer has brought all of them under one umbrella. The demons are the ones who spreads disease monsters around the earth all the time. The strongest of those monsters are one of them. Cancer monster belongs to one of the tribes, they are really strong and requires atleast an A rank believer to kill one of them. Lucifer uses them to maintain a balance between the world's. Without the demon army, the gods would destroy Lucifer now that he is alone.

Lucifer has summoned all 7 demon lord's to his palace in astral world for a meeting.

“Do you know why I have summoned you?" Lucifer talks in a deep voice.

“Yes we do my Lord." The demon lord's reply except one of them.

“No my Lord, I do not. What is it?" One of the younger lord doesn't know why Lucifer summoned them.

“One of you lord's have decided to use my teleportation ability to attack earth without my permission. It is ashura who has done it. He thought he stood a chance against the round table leaders. But he underestimated them too much. Besides i don't want another war to take place, it is pointless and there's nothing we can gain from it. We already have built a strong and advanced civilization right here, we don't have to be greedy. The human world is smaller, doesn't matter if it is more shining. We have been constantly sending diseases to them in order to maintain our presence. What more should we do? War will only bring us destruction." The lord of the outer astral world, Lucifer morningstar speaks in a deep tone in front of the demon lord's.

There are 15 demon lords, one of them attacked earth without the permission of Lucifer.

After the great angelic war, Lucifer signed a peace treaty with the other angels, or now referred to as gods. The peace treaty forced Lucifer to rule the astral world and not interfere in the matters of the humans. But Lucifer also didn't stop the astral force, which was leaking disease monsters to the world, which was killing humans.

After hundreds of years, Lucifer morningstar was able to get every demon lord of the astral world under his command.

“My lord, why is it that you always avoid conflict with the human civilization? Is it that you are afraid of them?" One of the demon lord's question Lucifer.

“Exactly what I was thinking, but there's nothing to be afraid of. We weren't united during the first angelic war, unlike now. Even with one angel in our side, I believe we can take down all seven of the angels and rule the human world as well. So I will have to side with ashura this time, he died for us." Another demon lord defends the act of ashura.

"Why are you so afraid of the humans? What did they do that made you scared of them?" A fifth demon lord questions Lucifer.

"I'm afraid of my own humanity. After so many years without any true feelings or emotions, I'm afraid that if anything happens to me, I'll become weak and vulnerable.

Lucifer morningstar wasn't afraid of losing, but something else which he didn't want to talk with the demons with.

All of the demon lord's starts questioning Lucifer and tells him to make a decision fast, as they all wanted to get their revenge for ashura.

“Silence."

Lucifer makes everyone quiet with one word.

“Silence when I am speaking, silence when your lord is speaking. I am Lucifer morningstar, the devil. I have wrecked havoc in both human civilization and demon civilization. There's nobody above me, there never will. I am not afraid of anyone or anything. But that doesn't mean I will have to act stupid and attack them without a plan. They have a far greater number, only the round table lords were strong enough to destroy our second strongest person. Imagine how strong their army will be if all the top believers join the war. So stop telling me to do anything stupid. I will take time and decide something pretty soon, in the meantime I will try reviving ashura. He still has his consciousness in this world, we will have to bring it back before it goes deep into the astral world."

Lucifer morningstar dismisses the meeting and goes back to his palace along with his personal assistant.

He opens up the cabinet where all the books in the library were stored. He takes one book, opens it, reads some words, closes the book and puts it back where it belongs.

The next book he grabs is one by one by ones. Lucifer is trying to find the right words to start the ritual. The desperate Lucifer makes his assistant worry about him.

“I am really worried about you my Lord, you have started to show more and more of your emotions which you have been suppressing for thousands of years. I think you should just take some rest and not worry about anything. The humans can never reach here to attack and none of the demon lord's would try to betray you. Just take some years of rest to heal your mind." The assistant tells Lucifer.

“No artoria, I just can't. It's all going to end pretty soon, I had a dream last night. I saw a boy shining brightly in front of me. Do you know what happened next? He came out of him." Lucifer shakes in fear.

“Well then maybe it's better to forget the dream. You need to concentrate on getting Ashura back. Please, don't lose yourself like last time." His assistant tells Lucifer.

“I can't, I saw him again. He has been appearing in all of my dreams. The day is finally nearing and I have to do something or everything will end." Lucifer is still shaking in fear.

“Is it really him? I have only heard about him in myth. Is he really real? Is he really....?" Artoria questions Lucifer.

“Yes, he is the one. He is god."
