Point-of-View: Satan

———————————————————————————

"I’ll kill every last one of you," Growled Aurora, the shadowy spots all over her body darkening as the streaky whips extending out of them floated around her menacingly.

Now, then, who should I have her face first? Let’s she if she can prove herself to be strong enough to face me...

"Fiend Beta, Caligula the Tyrant, Fiend Eta, Stalin the Dictator, and Fiend Kappa, Plunderer Attila the Hun...kill her," I remarked with a yawn.

"Understood, my Lord."

"Very well, as you say."

"Leave it to us, we will not let you down."

"Is this a joke? You do realize how much weaker these three are than I am, don’t you?" She scoffed, looking insulted.

Yeah, she’s quite right about that.

"You think so, do you? Then, by all means, prove it," I responded with a smirk, in an effort to taunt and provoke her.

"I will soon have you weeping and begging for mercy. When I was alive, young women like you were nothing more than-...," Caligula began to taunt her, suddenly trailing off as she shot towards him, grabbed the top of his head and crushed his skull before he could react.

And in the next instant, his body was torn apart to meaty, bloody shreds, as she sliced him to pieces with her shadowy streaks. As she caught sight of his core amidst the guts and gore, she grabbed it and crushed it in her fist. Oh, my. That was fast.

She then swiftly spun around and swung her leg across, slamming her heel square onto the middle of Attila’s chest and sending him flying away several meters and crashing into the side of a building with immense force.

Upon impact, his body burst through the wall of the building and emerged out the other side of the structure, before his body slammed onto the ground. Incredible, such immense physical strength from a human is utterly unheard of. This should be quite entertaining.

"My Lord, having faced her before, and seeing how much more powerful she has become...I do not believe the Fiends stand a chance against her," Beelzebub muttered quietly.

"It would appear so," I replied indifferently.

As Stalin shot towards her, she evaded his attacks with ease, before piercing one of her shadowy streaks into his back as she ducked under a dark fire blast he shot at her.

Before he could move, shadowy spikes were bursting out all over his body, as she branched out the shadowy streak she’d pierced into his back. And as she pierced his core, his body began turning to ash, a look of horror on his face.

She then glanced to the side as Attila began to lift himself up from the rubble, before rapidly extending and expanding a shadowy arm in his direction, grabbing hold of him before he could get away.

With him firmly in her grasp, she began crushing him inside her shadowy fist, blood spilling out between the fingers of the fist as she crushed his body into a misshapen mass of meat.

She then began compressing the shadowy fist until his body turned to ash, his core shattered by the sheer force of her compression.

"So, were those three supposed to be strong or something?" Inquired Aurora as she dusted herself off.

"Apparently not. I must say, you are quite impressive," I responded with a laugh.

"Just you wait, I’ll wipe that-...," She began, before trailing off with a pained gasp as an arm burst through her chest.

"You should have watched your back," Yawned Belphegor, having snuck up behind her.

Undetected, a Unique Technique he can use only once against a particular opponent. But more often than not, once is more than enough. Even with her superhuman senses, she failed to notice him. However...

"Big...mistake...," She remarked quietly and ominously, as her shadowy streaks suddenly burst out after she grabbed his arm and tore it off, the hole in her chest closing up as her power drastically spiked.

He quickly flew away in alarm before she could kill him, her power surging alarmingly. She let out a feral roar as her shadowy streaks came rapidly zipping towards me and the remaining Demons of Sin and Thirteen Fiends.

They all scattered in alarm, but almost all of them were hit, sustaining deep injuries, while one more of the Thirteen Fiends, Fiend Epsilon, Ivan the Terrible, was killed in her powerful onslaught.

Hm, okay...she’s cutting down too many of my elite forces, I cannot afford to let her keep running amok like th-...suddenly, I stiffened for a moment as she appeared behind me.

I can use all the unique abilities than every Demon possesses...and as I responded by unleashing Asmodeus’s Arousal Mist power, I felt an immense force hit my back and send my flying forward at a rapid speed.

Hm, she hit me before I could fully unleash the technique...and the next thing I knew, she was right in front of me, slamming her knee onto my chest with a devastating impact as I felt several bones shatter and organs rupture.

Before the force of her attack could send me flying back, she grabbed my right ankle and began slamming me onto the ground repeatedly, clouds of dust bursting out as chunks of rubble flew out with each and every slam.

This is genuinely painful, she is the first to inflict this much pain of me since God...however, it isn’t going to be enough.

As I instantly healed all the injuries she had inflicted on me, I activated Beelzebub’s Devour ability, forming a dark red streak with jaws at the end of it and extending it towards her.

She quickly let go of my leg and sprang back, before I regained my bearings, raised my hand and activated Lucifer’s Telekinesis, drawing her straight back towards me.

As I began to grab at the top of her head, she struck my wrist to reflect my arm away, grabbing my other hand to block the Telekinesis and then swinging her foot up towards my chin.

I swiftly ducked my head back to evade it, and as her foot flew up past the front of my face, she surrounded me with several shadowy streaks, before they rapidly converged in on me.

The explosive power boost she’d gained upon resurrection has faded, but she’s still more powerful than she was before, and what’s more...killing her again would only result in another drastic boost in power.

What a nuisance...as her shadowy streaks pierced through me and she swung her other foot at my side, I decided that it was time to stop messing around.

I swiftly wrenched my arms free of her grasp, fracturing her right wrist in the process, before I grabbed her leg to block her kick and then broke it with a violent twist, eliciting a strained cry of pain from her.

I then let go of her, and as she backed away to gain some distance, she wrapped a couple of shadowy streaks around her broken leg and straightened it with a slight crunch and a stifled gasp of pain.

"So long as I don’t kill you, you cannot heal. But I cannot stop you without killing you, and killing you several times, at that. And each time I kill you, the next attempt will be more difficult than the previous. Eliminating you that way is far too much work," I sighed with a shake of my head.

"In that case, how about I just kill you instead?" She growled, as the remaining Demons of Sin and Thirteen-...or rather, Nine...-Fiends surrounded her.

"Stand down...I shall deal with her myself," I remarked, as I waved at them to back away.

She is already far more powerful than the Demons of Sin...a few more deaths could make her even more powerful than I am. I cannot risk such a possibility this early into our invasion. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

I then shot towards her at top speed, swinging my fist across at the side of her head. She ducked under it and countered with a couple of rapid punches, and as I deflected the first one and blocked the second, she swung several shadowy streaks in towards me.

I swiftly formed blocks of earth and ice around myself to block the streaks, before slamming my foot onto the spot where he leg was broken. She stifled her cry of pain before swirling dark energy around her fist and driving it straight towards me.

I stood still, and as her fist closed in on me, I stopped it by grabbing her wrist and then breaking it with a loud snap, eliciting an agonized gasp from her.

"Now, then...time to remove you from the equation," I remarked, as I opened a breach to Hell behind her before slamming my foot onto her midsection and sending her flying into it.

As she went into the rift, I swiftly shut it, sealing her inside Hell, as far away as possible from the bridge between Hell and the living world.

"Are you sure that was the best option, my Lord?" Inquired Asmodeus uncertainly.

"She could potentially be an even bigger threat than God...so we will deal with her later, once we have conquered both the living world and Heaven. As for right now, I think I’ll recall the Devils and-...hm? My powers are blocked, what is this? Ah, I see now...it would appear as though we have a couple of new challengers," I smirked, as I glanced to my left...
