The World Serpent

*PANG!!!*

Thousands of Dark Crimson Thunder echoed as they struck the Wasteland. The Destroyer of Reality managed to stabilize itself but despite stabilizing. The Wasteland didn't return to normal. Thousands of Flying Islands and Boulders hovered around the Destroyer of Reality. Magma already invaded the Bottom of the Wasteland and caused a mass Fiery Scene over it. The Heavens once again gathered their Thick Clouds in preparations of the Last Exchange between the Astral Spirit Lord and the Demon Serpent.

The Winds were extremely severe as they could easily topple the Gigantic Trees of the Realm. The Earth shook with the Destroyer of Reality, taking its Crust to the Heavens. The Chaos caused by the Duel was enough to level most nations within the Realm of Piksyon. The Demon Serpent and the Astral Spirit Lord were in silence as they held their Armaments tightly with their pale hands.

The Demon Serpent wore a Silver Dress while Holding a Demon-like Sword. She had a Long Silver White Hair fluttering through the Winds and her Golden Amber Slit Pupiled Eyes glowing with the utmost vigor. She had Two Ancient Silver Horns on top of her head as he had a Dark Silver Tail behind her. The Most Demon-like and Memorable Appearance was her Wings. They were Pitch Black Bat-like Wings that unfold themselves for the Realm of Piksyon to see. The Demon Serpent had an Interesting Transformation that caused most of the Realm to take notice of her existence.

The Astral Spirit Lord wore a Pitch-Black Dress and a Dark Veil. She was holding a Jet-Black Death Scythe as her Armament within the Duel. She had a Former Blue Azure Hair only to changed themselves into Pitch-Black. Her Former Red Velvet Eyes disappeared as a Silver One revealed themselves. The Astral Spirit Lord activated the Origin Form for the first time for a dozen centuries. Despite not being in full power, It was still a formidable form that would need Numerous Rulers to work together to survive against the sheer power of the Astral Spirit Lord.

"I never thought that you would be a Demon," Statera spoke with a Seductive Voice while looking down at Persia below her. Persia, who stood at the boulder below Statera, looked at her and smirked. "I'd rather call myself Demon Serpent. Former Demons are simply low-lives with no utmost intelligence to use their formidable power."

"Well, that is correct. The Angels and Devils easily defeated them as the Two Races exploited the Low Intelligence of Demons. But I guess it is a lot different with you reviving it." Statera replied with the same Seductive Voice while looking at Persia with her Silver Eyes. The Duel escalated by Statera felt the excitement from it. She wasn't bothered by the introduction of the Demons. Spirits were mostly a neutral race that didn't care about Karmic Laws.

The Karmic Laws divided itself into Two Classes and Two Types. The Lawful and Chaotic Types, and The Good and Evil Types. The Lawful Type were mostly Angels, Guardians, and many other Races that looked for Order. The Chaotic Type was mostly Demons, Calamities, Dragons, and many more. Though, some might be different as Lawful and Chaotic never describe themselves as Good or Evil.

"Aren't you bothered by my Form? From the Information I recently got. It seems that demons are the Scourge of the Realm. They can easily replace their numbers and are practically uncontrollable. They might be the only ones that are eligible enough to call themselves. Pure Demon Monsters." Persia was a bit curious as to why Statera didn't seem bothered by her Form. She expected a shocked face and an *I will kill you* moment, which would be incredibly bad.

"No need to think that way, Persia. Do you think I care of such lowly matters? Even if you went crazy in the Realm. I wouldn't have any right to move until you attack the Great Forest." Statera shook her head with a fake sad expression and replied with a seductive tone. Hearing Statera's words, Persia understood that it was a warning. If she tries to mess with the Great Forest, Statera would have the responsibility to take her out.

"Well, then... Though I cannot guarantee as some of your forces might attack me first." Persia spoke with a teasing voice. Persia then gazed at Statera, who was chuckling. "There will be no use of the Investigation Bureau if an Important Event had no investigation," Statera replied with a seductive voice as she prepared herself with a smirk plastered on her face.

Persia already took her Sword Stance as she took a deep breath. Her Heart calmed itself as she relaxed her tense body. After such a moment, She then disappeared from her spot and reappeared right beside Statera. Statera blocked the Attack with her Death Scythe and countered with a simple spin. *Bang!!!* *Pang!!!* The Two of them began exchanging their Armaments against each other. The Sound of their Armanents clashing echoed despite the Distortion right beside them.

Persia then swung her Sword towards Statera and attacked with all her might. Their Speed was in an instant as they disappeared and reappeared at every moment noticed. The Dark Crimson Thunder kept echoing as the Battle between them ensued once again. While battling against Statera with a sword, Persia quickly noticed the difference in skill.

'This might be a problem. My Skill in Sword Arts is low, and Weaknesses are trying to creep towards me.' Persia thought to herself as she clashed her Sword against the Death Scythe. The Two of them felt power in each Attack as Persia felt an Idea crossed within her mind. She smirked as she noticed that there was no need for her to continue using the Sword Arts.

'I have my body. so I guess it's time to combine my Body and the Sword for my use.' Persia thought to herself as she swung her Sword towards Statera. The Sword easily got blocked but instead of using her Sword once again. She used her leg and kicked Statera with it. Statera, seeing the Attack, smiled as she used her leg to defend against Persia's kick.

"That's not gonna work, Persia," Statera spoke with a seductive voice as Persia retreated and stood once again at the Hovering Boulder. "As expected of a Thousand Year Old Being." Though, Persia didn't expect her Attack to get blocked. She still wanted to look cool despite losing the Attack. After saying such words, Persia felt a severe pressure overwhelming her body. She then looked at Statera, who was smiling with a creepy smile towards her.

"You shouldn't speak such words to a Lady, Persia. Can't you understand simple etiquette?" Statera spoke with a seductive voice. Despite talking in such a voice, Persia felt an overwhelming feeling of anger from it. Persia gulped as she readied herself. She disappeared from her spot and once again began her Attack against Statera.

"Oh my, It seems that I have to discipline a Bad Child," Statera said with her seductive voice as she also disappeared from her spot. The Clashing began as the Boulders around the two of them could barely hold themselves together. A Lot of Boulders got pulverized while even some Magma were hovering in the Heavens.

They have been fighting for a while, and Persia noticed that she wouldn't Normally defeat Statera in her Current Form. She had realized such things a dozen times during the Duel, but how the hell can she gauge the strength of Statera? The only thing she could do was use her recently gained Demon Skills.

'Though, It is problematic. I should use my Demon Skills before it's too late.' Persia thought to herself while fighting against Statera. She then flew to the Heavens using her Demon-like Wings. She looked down upon Statera, who still had a smirk plastered on her face. Persia activated her Demon Skills for the first time.

'I call upon you, Heaven's Chains.' The Heaven's Chains Skill was only an Ability from the Higher Demons. It was called Heaven's Chains due to its power to seal Astral Beings without any problems. The Chains was the main Armament of a Certain Astral Race named Angels. They used such Armament to capture troublesome Astral Beings. Though, the Demon used it to capture and torture their opponent, which was a clear choice on their part.

Calling upon Heaven's Chains, Seven Silver Light Portal appeared right behind Persia. Dark Silver Chains revealed themselves as Statera looked at them with an aloof expression. 'Heaven's Chains? That might work on me since she has a Dense Energy Output.' Statera thought to herself while looking at the Dark Silver Chains written with Ancient Writing.

Despite the danger of Heaven's Chains, Statera didn't feel fear from it as the only thing she could feel was excitement. She readied herself as she looked at the Dark Silver Chains aiming themselves towards her. Persia then looked at Statera, who stood on a boulder with a smirking expression, and ordered the Dark Silver Chains to begin their Attack.

The Dark Silver Chains launched themselves towards Statera at an instant speed. Statera disappeared from her spot and reappeared right beside Persia. There was no need for Statera to fight against Heaven's Chains. Though, unfortunately, Persia already knew of such a possibility. Persia swung her Sword towards Statera as Statera blocked it with her Death Scythe. *PANG!!!!*

"That's rather intriguing. You're learning Persia." Statera spoke with a seductive voice as she quickly spun her Death Scythe and swung it in an unexpected direction. Persia immediately dodged the Death Scythe as it slashed through the Air affecting the Heaven Above them. A Giant Rift between the Clouds covering the Heavens opened after the Death Scythe's Attack.

As the Death Scythe passed through Persia, Persia spun her legs and tried to kick Statera, who effortlessly blocked it with a single hand. Persia clicked her tongue as she tried to move her legs only to feel Statera's grips on it. 'Fuck.' Persia thought to herself as she swung her last leg to kick Statera in the head. The kick went through the Air and hit Statera's Head point-blank. *BOOM!!!*

A Shockwave formed after the impact as Persia finally had a good hit with her kick. She then looked at Statera, who took the brunt of Persia's kick and felt hopeless for the first time in the Realm of Piksyon. Despite the strong Attack of Persia, Statera still had no visible damage on her head. Heck, She might even have a regenerative property, so the damage wouldn't last long even if there was one.

"That was a Good Hit, Persia. I felt pain for the first time in a dozen of centuries." Statera spoke with a seductive voice while having a lewd smile. Statera licked her lips which made Persia feel a chill on her spine. Persia then created an Energy Ball in front of them, which caused Statera to release Persia from her hold. Though, it was disappointing that Persia escaped. Statera was willing to play with her Little Junior.

Persia instantly backed off as she created a Large Gap between the two of them. She looked at Statera from afar and prepared herself. Dark Crimson Thunder kept striking the Wasteland around them. The Thick Clouds covered the Heavens with the Destroyer of Reality right beside them. Persia was willing to have a new round, but unfortunately, Intruders of the Duel have come.

A Distance Away was Three Shooting Stars heading towards the Wasteland. One had a Red Crimson Color, Another had a Light Green Color, and the Last One had a Deep Blue Color. They were the Spirit Lords of the Nation Astra. With the news of the Astral Spirit Lord fighting someone, reaching to them. They immediately head towards their Astral Spirit Lord only to find a Large devastated land. "We'll assist you, Your Majesty!" The Red Crimson Spirit Lord shouted as he charged towards Persia.

Before he could reach Persia, A Dark Ashen Figure stopped him from attacking Persia. The Dark Ashen Figure was a Beautiful Girl that highly resembled Persia. She had Dark Ashen Hair and Golden Amber Eyes. She had Two White Ancient Horns on her Head and had a Similar Appearance to Persia, except her Wings were Phoenix wings instead of Normal bat-like wings.

"Puny Guy, I'd rather advise you not to attack my Sister." Ego spoke with a Cold Voice as her Golden Amber Eyes glowed with domination.

Numerous Giant Silver Wolves then arrived in large numbers as the Spirits prepared themselves for battle. The Meeting between the Inquisition and the Nation Astral finally had begun.
