There was no world anymore.
Only an endless dark void.
Red and black energy storms spiraled through the abyss while enormous floating stones drifted through the darkness, carrying ruins of forgotten civilizations—broken pillars, shattered statues, and ancient warships frozen in silence as if time itself had died here long ago.
And at the center of that dimension—
stood Omarik.
The original Demon King.
Calm.
Watching them as though they were beneath him.
But Maximilian stepped forward.
Slowly raising his weapon as dark energy ignited around his body.
"I don't care if this world is a prison."
His eyes locked onto Omarik.
"I will not die like a coward."
His grip tightened.
"And I will not lose to you."
Omarik smiled.
Then—
the void exploded.
Maximilian launched forward with terrifying speed, his blade colliding against Omarik's arm and unleashing a violent shockwave that sent floating rocks flying through the abyss.
At the same moment, everyone moved.
Violet raised her hand.
The blood moon appeared behind her once more, larger than ever, pulsing above the void like a crimson eye of destruction.
Then she closed her eyes.
And whispered:
"Answer my call… guardians of forgotten civilizations."
The void trembled.
Massive golden circles appeared behind her.
Then—
Anubis opened his eyes.
The colossal god emerged from darkness itself, holding an enormous ancient spear while hundreds of glowing hieroglyphs rotated behind him.
But Anubis was not alone.
To his right appeared a golden warrior wearing a Babylonian crown, surrounded by blue flames.
To the left emerged a winged goddess wrapped in silver light, while a gigantic stone titan from a lost civilization rose from the abyss carrying an axe the size of a fortress.
Even Zack stared in disbelief.
"She's summoning the memory of extinct gods…"
Violet slowly raised her sword toward Omarik.
"If this world is a graveyard of civilizations…"
Her crimson eyes burned brighter.
"Then I will awaken its dead."
The ancient gods roared together.
And charged.
But—
Omarik laughed.
A deep laugh that shook the entire void.
Then he raised one hand.
"Then I shall summon my kings."
The energy around him froze.
Darkness opened behind him.
One enormous eye appeared first.
Then another.
Then seven.
Seven black gates slowly opened behind Omarik, releasing pressure so terrifying that even the ancient gods hesitated for a brief moment.
And from each gate—
a king emerged.
A Demon King.
The first was a gigantic warrior armored in hellfire.
The second had no face and carried a scythe forged from pure darkness.
The third was a woman with glowing white eyes and torn black wings.
The fourth dragged chains across the void itself.
And the remaining three—
their very presence distorted reality.
Alfred's voice lowered in shock.
"…The Seven Kings of Hell."
Omarik smiled calmly.
"Let the real war begin."
And in the next second—
Anubis collided with the first king.
The entire void trembled violently.
The ancient spear pierced through hellfire while the demon king countered with a strike powerful enough to shatter floating mountains.
The winged goddess clashed against the fallen queen of darkness, unleashing storms of light and shadow across the battlefield.
The stone titan grabbed one of the demon kings and crushed him into a floating ruin before both exploded in a catastrophic wave of energy.
The war became myth itself.
Gods against kings.
Civilizations against hell.
And in the middle of it all—
Omarik remained standing.
Calm.
Untouched.
As if all existence revolved around him.
Maximilian wiped blood from his mouth and stood again.
"We're not done."
Shadow appeared beside him silently.
"Finally… a worthy enemy."
Lenore expanded her light around the battlefield.
Zack's eyes glowed as he tracked the chaotic energy patterns.
Sid activated the final combat systems.
Meanwhile Violet stared directly at Omarik.
And the Demon King spoke calmly:
"You six…"
He slowly opened his arms.
"…come."
Then black energy erupted from his body.
A colossal throne materialized behind him inside the void.
And finally—
everyone understood true fear.
Because they realized—
Omarik had not been fighting seriously until now.
Then he moved.
The throne shattered behind him as his power exploded across the void.
Maximilian charged first.
Shadow vanished into darkness.
Violet's chains erupted like crimson storms.
Lenore unleashed pillars of divine light.
Zack screamed battlefield coordinates while Sid activated dimensional weapons.
And Omarik—
met them head-on.
The void itself began collapsing around their battle.
