275. The appearance of the Demon God.

[Demon's War: Arc 13]

Innerlight City, year 2020, day Friday, time 9:21 am a sudden chaos began.

Suddenly an abnormal number of Demons appeared out of nowhere. People and Duelists were caught unprepared at the potential extinction and were caught in emotion-filled chain. The chaotic appearence in just a short time had already devoured several people and the fear of being killed has grew all around the Innerlight City center and local streets, with already 5% of the Innerlight Human Society killed and devoured an alarm was set at the main agency and Innerlight City's Guild.

Duelists were warned about the abnormal number of Demons' appearances and were split into their yearly level.

Due to sheer-number of so many Demons, Duelists from the Innerlight City's Guild were split into 10 squads, each having different priority and under one of the top tier duelist's leadership.

With the instructions explained by Toyama Shin, they've titled their operation: Innerlight City's Lineup: Innerlight City Retrieval Operation and has just began on its way.

[Mind - Deepened Reality - Tim's mind - Friday, 9:53 a.m.]

"All of those memories.... I promised them and I'll keep them! This pendant, it was given to me by my mother.... I understand, I understand you! I thought I understood you before, but now I understand you, mother. You've given me this pendant to remember, this is what you meant to lose it, but I won't let it happen." Tim's body was quickly getting surrounded by fire when he immediatelly with his left hand in front of him, a barrier that was invisible, blocking him from going anywhere was doing its best to keep it away, as the electricity continued to shock.

With the pain that he had in his palms he continued to push. "Get me out of this! I'm not sure what I am doing here! But it's clear to me, I shouldn't be here! I'll fight until the very end, I won't give up, I won't let some kind of monstrosity keep me sealed, I'll break through it! I promise! I'll break through it!" Tims voice was itching out painful noises, but why his mouth continued to shake, his eyes glowed blue and the white hair continued to wave in the instance of the happening, orange flames, no, blue flames began to burst out from his palms while the skin on his arms began to melt. "I won't let this to stop me! Ignore the pain, ignore it! Just. Break....."

"THROUGH IT!"

[Mind - Deepened Reality - Tim's mind - Friday, 9:53 a.m.]

Tim's Spiritual Body was lost behind the barrier when the Spirit of his reached forward through the barrier, and as he did, due to the massive force and gravity his left arm was being teared apart and his sleeves were getting ripped off. "I won't.... I won't let go. I gotta. I gotta reach it! I gotta!" As Tim's left arm was getting teared and losing its skin he instantly noticed the Spiritual Body to turn into his direction, making his eyes surprised. "Come.... Come over here! Stop, getting away! I gotta! I have to retrieve it! Get here!" Shouted Tim once his left arm finally came in contact with the Spiritual Body, in the instance a blue light bursted among and around his body as the wind blew past.

[Planet Earth - Innerlight City's outskirts - Hideout - Friday, 9:53 a.m.]

Tim's body froze when Codey and the rest got surprised. "Break through it! Break through it! Break through it! Break it! Break through it!" In instance. "Tsuneo! Stand back!" Yelled Codey when Tsuneo immediately slipped. Without time to wasted, Codey's eyes turned red and in the instant his body disappeared and so have Tsuneo's. "Break! Through! It!" Tim was screaming when he grabbed the top of his head.

"No! No! Quit it! She deserves death! She deserves death! She killed her! She killed her!" Tim seemed to have been in pain while he was moving differently than before, due to the pain constantly reaching around his body. "This is not what I promised! Get out of me! Break through it!" While Tim made a step back a crazy screech went rushing into the air. "It hurts! It hurts! Stop it! Stop it!"

Codey appeared next to Ryoko, with Tsuneo saved and faced back at Tim.

The powerful wind and the black-like shadow began to swirl around his body, ripping the upper chest of his clothes. "Get out of me! What did you do! Get out! I'll break you! I'll break you! Stop pushing! Give it up! No! I won't let this happen! Stop! Stop! You've gotta stop! Please!!" Both of the sides were yelling over each other when a terrifying black energy flew up in the air as Tim's skin soon began to be revealed. The black energy that was earlier ruling his body was quickly disappearing when another heavy wind and pressure blew over the floor. The yellow eyes glowed once his eyes shook and instantly became blue. "No! Why! Would! You! Get away! No!" But in was impossible, the 'Inner Fiend' was unable to break over.

"GET AWAY!!!" A load roar of Tim's voice echoed over the air and sky and with the final shout, the wind roared and the floor beneath Tim's feet shattered into a million o pieces, causing his body to bounce up over the broken floor and opened, at once his eyes acted normal, with confusion to what was going on, Tim had noticed the blue aura and the shattered pieces in front of him. "Did, I?" With a worry, Codey faced back with the rest, once Tim's body immediately gave into unconsciousness. The wall that was standing behind Codey and the rest, as well as along the buildings around them, exploded into pieces of shattered earth when the floor beneath him cracked further, the buildings piled into rubble while the rest who were nearly blown away by the pressure got amazed and shocked. "Is- Is he...?" Questioned Ryoko, watching at Tim's body, resting on the floor in the middle of the hole, his upper clothes were completely ruined, and his left arm's skin was completely teared apart, bleeding.

[Planet Earth - Innerlight City - City Center - Friday, 9:54 a.m.]

A massive pressure blew across the city, catching Sakami and her Squad in shock, even the Police Department managed to feel to powerful wind, flying its force around them. Kyou who was calmly surprised, faced at the Northern Direction. "W-what was that?" Sakami wondered.

[Planet Earth - Innerlight City - Southern-East - Friday, 9:54 a.m.]

Ellie avoided an attack from the Demon when an instantanous force came rushing from behind his back and caused the Demon to exploded into blood particles. "W-what just happened?" His squad faced to the Northern side.

[Planet Earth - Innerlight City - City Streets (Northern) - Friday, 9:54 a.m.]

The two support squads under the leadership of Kanai Midori and Kyoryoku Mayumi were frozen at the spot after feeling an even tenser energy, raging past them, causing their clothes and hair to wave backward, next to the building's making a crack. "T-that came from Codey and Tim's direction. W-what's happening over there?" Questioned Midori. "Quick! Go!" Shouted Mayumi when rushing past Midori's squad.

[Planet Earth - Innerlight City - Friday, 9:54 a.m.]

The Duelists who were put on the main assassinating squad all aroudn the city fell into fear when seeing a multiple row of Demons exploding into blood, especially near them. "Hey! D-did you see that?!" Questioned a male duelist. "Y-yeah. B-but from who did such a massive pressure come from?!" Questioned the other male duelist.

The rest of the Assassinating squad also felt it, and were unaware of what the deal was.

[Planet Earth - Innerlight City - Innerlight City's Guild - Friday, 9:54 a.m.]

The hospital that was still taking care of the injured Kylin, Nobuyuki and Kaori have also sensed a gentle breeze of the wind, catching them surprised when seeing a distant glass window shattering by the force.

Jun became surprised and negative.

[Planet Earth - Innerlight City - Innerlight City's Guild (Dorm Area) - Friday, 9:54 a.m.]

Saraki and the res to the Lieutenants who were on defense of keeping the Guild in safety were shocked. "T-that pressure. It was so massive, could it be that one of our members did that? If they did, who would it be? It's impossible for anyone to release such a massive pressure just from one standing? Especially to reach thus far... How is this possible?" Gulped Saraki when seeing the Demons to be in fear. "Are Demons actually afraid?" Questioned Asuka, looking at them as the Demons immediately escaped. "W-wait! C-come back...." But the Demons have fled away. "What the hell is going on?"

[Planet Earth - Innerlight City's outskirts - Hideout - Friday, 9:54 a.m.]

"Is... He-" Wondered Tsuneo confused. "He.... He managed to break through it." Codey's surprise caused him to fell on his bottom and took a relieved breathe. "Thank god. I'm so glad. If his rampage went spreading across the city, I don't think many people would see him as an ally...." Spoke Codey, but in that instant the ground once again shook and it immediately made others to face forward, a large portal appeared behind Tim's and Ayuka's bodies when Codey's eyes trembled, an arm reached from the portal and a muscular body came stepping from the portal, a menacing sword of darkness was seen when blackened clothes whirled.

Red eyes traced the area and Codey immediately felt fear, a massive pressure, a massive Spiritual Symbolism had reached Codey's mind, and the three of them were all frozen on the spot when a creepy smile came glowing from the darkness. "It- It can't be... Is.... Is it, him?" Questioned Codey, worried.

"I'm quite proud, my son. You've improved quite well, ever sicne out last meeting." The voice spoke and Codey's body seeked realization. ("Demon God Rez?!") And he was correct, Demon God himself stood in front of him, smiling and looking at his son. "I'm so glad, that I didn't need to do all the work. I am so thankful for your cooperation, Codey. You've finally reached new heights and even managed to find some 'friends'." Rez questioned, he was releasing a bloody aura that was making the floor to shake. "W-who is he? W-why is his Spiritual Symbolism so.... so large?" Gulped Tsuneo, afraid. "It's.... It's.... D-Demon God.... Rez..." Codey spoke, in unintentional fear. "I'm glad you know who I am. I'm so delightful by your knowledge."

"W-why are you here? W-what do you want? D-did you unleash these Demons? I.... I don't understand! What do you want?!" Codey asked, loudly and smiling. He picked up both bodies, Ayuka's and Tim's. "Correct, and to answer your question. I've just come for my gift, it's free, after all, right?" Wondered Rez, smiling. "L-let them go! W-what are you planning to do with them?!" Questioned Codey. "What am I planning to do, you ask? Ah, I suppose it's not clear. Unlike you, useless son, these two have greater potential and will work fine as my allies, don't you agree. But only for as long as I am able to get these two into my beautiful and very entertaining world. I think these two powers, combined together will be enough to finally kill that filthy Godess...." Laughed Rez. "N-no. L-let go of them!" Shouted Codey, in fear. "I'm sorry. But I cannot let go. These two have some greater potential, and saving them now, will be impossible. They are mine, and they'll be used, with these two, I'll finally be known as the proper God! You watch and stand back, or who knows, you might get hurt." Spoke Rez when slowly backing into the portal of Hell. "N-no! Hey! Stop!" Codey immediately jumped up on his feet. "I'll see you in several months, my son."

"No! Come back! Damn it!" Without realization, Codey jumped and leaped forward after he saw Rez's body to enter the portal, he was followed by Codey, and in surprise Tsuneo. "Wait! Brother!" However, the two, Codey and Tsuneo have already entered the portal.

In rush to safe both....

Tim and Ayuka herself...
