Abyssal Sovereign: The Demon's Dominion

"What will happen now?" a deep, resolute voice asked, as his words made space itself bend and time distort.

This being wasn't alone ,others stood with him at the inner layer of the abyss...

"Destruction will follow wherever we go," a demon said indifferently.

"We don't need to think much. If the angels want a war... then it's a war we'll give them. Last time wasn't enough. This is basically a pie for us to get stronger," Void said with a twisted smile, and the rest of the demons present all smiled.

Yes, they were at the Fourth Abyss where Rank 3 demons dwell. Just moments ago, news reached the abyss that angels were attacking every demon they encountered across all available multi-universes.

This was both shocking and a buildup to a war that would not end anytime soon.

All Rank 3 beings were summoned to make a decision on this. Why?

For now, the war hadn't reached their level yet. The angels attacking were from Rank 1–2, which were considered relatively docile.

The last war wasn't that serious even if trillions of lives were lost every minute but compared to the vast number of demons and even angels... it was nothing.

But now, this was a sign. These two races had decided to go to a war of death.

It was funny. Apart from fighting angels, now Void's abyss also had to fight the Original Sins' abyss. Not to mention the upcoming war in the Fitel against all Rank 6 beings.

It was war after war, death after death. And the crazy thing? Demons were becoming more and more excited. This was their way of getting stronger. Demons thrived in war...

Now Void and the rest of the Rank 3s were making a decision, one that would determine the death or survival of two races.

Would the demon race survive? Or the angel race? No one knew, but this was a war to the death.

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

Multiple Rank 3 demons echoed with twisted smiles. Why? At Rank 3, you need a huge number of souls before advancing to a sub-realm. But this way, just killing ten or so angels of similar rank and it's done.

"That is good... for they are at our door right now," a peak Rank 3 demon said as he looked up at the sky of the abyss.

"At our door? You don't mean....." Void asked, stunned.

The other Rank 3 beings paused as they looked up at the sky.

Crack...

A thunderous sound rang out as they watched a divine light pierce through the abyss...

A scene no one would ever forget.

"The angels have attacked the very abyss we are in... they want this war," the Rank 3 demon said with a grin as his peak aura was released. The demons howl and laughed as they all stepped forward ready for the war.. their eyes burned with excitement their grins almost breaking their face.. they want blood, they want soul...they want this war...

The other demons followed, their auras raging Void included.

"System, isn't this strange...? We definitely don't know where the angels' headquarters is, yet they somehow know where the abyss is... and suddenly decide to start a war?" Void asked, puzzled. He remembered that just a day ago, he had been training after contacting Darius and stunning the young lad.

Now, he'd been summoned to the abyss by other Rank 3 demons saying that angels had declared a life-and-death battle with them. Why? How?

(Host... A demon killed the first child birthed by a Seraphim and a human.)

"Wait, wait... you said what now???" Void's eyes widened in shock.

(A demon visited a world and eliminated the firstborn child of a Seraphim and a human. Angels can't reproduce. They are only born from Heaven itself and every ten years, hundreds of thousands of angels are born. Yet less than 1% of them become Seraphim. Even fewer become Archangels like Michael and the others. But one Seraphim fell in love with a human female and mated with her. They produced a child that carried Archangel blood... and it was as terrifying as the War Archangel Michael.)

"Holy shit... no wonder this war is happening. Even though angels and demons are enemies, they wouldn't go into an all-out war just because of other races in the Fitel. But now they... wow... no wonder," Void thought in shock.

(Yes, Host. Although the child was considered an abomination by angelic standards, and the Seraphim should have been punished, he created a miracle. Of course, other Seraphim had tried the same, but to no avail. The importance of that child was raised to an unimaginable level. But would the demon race allow the angels to give birth to another War Archangel like Michael? No. That's the reason for this war.)

"I see..." Void muttered. Now he understood the true reason for the war and it was justified. For every race, the presence of a Rank 6 being was vital to their survival. The addition of even one more Rank 6 being could determine their ranking in the Fitel and their chances of survival. Especially a top Rank 6 being that could rival Michael...

Michael, in Heaven, was merely a separated version. Once all of Michael's clones were re-merged, he would definitely reach peak Rank 6 and that was the real Archangel Michael, feared across all existence.

Now, the justification for war was clear.

"Well... this war is just a way for me to get stronger. I don't care what the reason is. Truly, both the angels and the demons want war they just needed a justified reason for it. After all, Rank 6 races can't start a life-and-death war on a whim... The Fitel will be shaken. Omniverses will collapse. Everyone will be aware of this," Void thought, grinning.

Crack...

The cracking intensified as more and more divine brilliance shined into the abyss.

Mind you, this was happening in the Second Abyss.

Every demon touched by the light screamed and burned instantly to death. The Law of Light was terrifying, the perfect killer of demons...

Crack... crack...

Pla.....

The second layer of the abyss broke. Then the third. Finally, the fourth layer shattered and the angelic army came into view.

Their numbers dwarfed anything Void had ever seen in his life...

They were everywhere.

Pure-winged angels. And their auras weren't weak.

From Rank 0 to Rank 3... their presence shook space. Time distorted. Various visions unfolded. Beings lost in time were pulled out and destroyed.

If Void were still human, living on Earth, he would've thought this was the rapture. But as a demon, witnessing this made his blood boil in excitement.

And worse...

He felt something.

A growing hatred.

And it was pointed at the angels.

"Is this where demons blood-filled hatred for angels was born?" Void thought as a peak Rank 3 angel walked forward.

"To life, we were born. To eternity, we return.

But before eternity… there is judgment.

They say darkness is powerful. That it devours. That it corrupts.

But in the face of light—true light—darkness is but a shadow screaming before it fades.

Demons… you have crossed a line that even Hell dares not look at.

You've slain what should never have been touched. You've defiled what Heaven itself hesitated to accept.

Now? You shall answer for it.

This is not a battle.

This is not a war.

This… is the extinction of your filth.

We are the hands of retribution. The blade of divine law.

We do not come for peace. We come to erase.

Let the stars bear witness. Let the void tremble. Let the abyss wail.

For today… light shall burn so bright that not even ashes of your race will remain.

Angels… fly.

And destroy everything that breathes beneath the banner of darkness."
