Chapter 1 - The Divine Son

Planet Fushia

2021

Demon blood and dead bodies. That's the stenching cologne of the battlefield. The planet stenched of burning land and smoking corpses. 

Planets and moons of differing colors was above the red skies. A shining bright red sun gazed down on the planet causing a dry heat. 

Pools of blood spilled on battlefields during an invasion of Planet Fushia. An invasion led by a demon group that wreaked havoc across all Universes known as The Zenith. 

Soldiers of Fushia yelled while attacking demons at full might. The human spiritual energy users of Planet Fushia fought valiantly despite being slaughtered by demons. 

The Zenith Army arrived on Planet Fushia wearing black cloaks. Arriving on the planet with a desire of tracking The Divine Tree. 

The captains of The Zenith were stationed in three different locations as duos around the planet. Each of them mercilessly burned down seperate countries, working in coordination to cover more ground.

One of the demon's keen senses detected their objective, spotting the tall tree from a distance while in The Divine Forest.

The demon charged ahead with urgency, arriving in awe at the sight of The Divine Tree. Then, his leader suddenly appeared a few seconds later. 

A demon said to be the most powerful being of all history. The Demon Lord, Valeur.

The demon wore a black cloak that matched his allies, and a black sword on his backside resting in a wooded sheath. 

The captain bowed in respect at the arrival of his leader.

Valuer paid him no mind, casually walking by without an acknowledgment of his presence. 

The Fushia Natives stood like statues, unable to comprehend the immense spiritual pressure that kept them from moving a muscle. 

They were overwhelmed and slaughtered with no hesitation. Simultaneously split in half by a single blow of Valeur's sword with no mercy. 

He approached the tree after killing the unit guarding it. The demon grinned his smile of victory after finally achieving his most desired goal. 

Locating the one and only Divine Tree, created by Mother Fushia, the creator of Divine Energy. 

He always had known the tree would be at Planet Fushia, faithfully leading a march to the tree that costed billions of lives. 

The Zenith eradicated planet after planet, and universe after universe. Solely to reach The Divine Tree for the most powerful source of spiritual prowess. 

Divine Energy. 

"Lord Valeur." One of his demon companions kneeled before him. "Now that we've reached the tree, what is next for our journey?" 

Lord Valeur grinned deviously while reaching into the white divine aura of the tree. 

He absorbed The Divine Tree's energy into his own soul until his hand turned white. It only took a few seconds. Creating the first existence of a demonic spiritual being with divinity. 

The Demon Lord Valeur achieved his ultimate goal of becoming a Divine Demon. 

"I'll begin the new world... and pay a visit to The Divine Gods that abandoned all of humanity long ago. Demons shall become the new Divine Gods!" 

All six captains of The Zenith braced themselves upon his command, despite being in the middle of war against Planet Fushia natives. 

A sound of terror louder than nuclear warfare filled their ears. Followed by was a massive chaotic release of white and yellow energy. Planet Fushia began quaking and the ground began to crack slowly just before caving into eradication. 

The planet's entirety was dissolved into dust by Valeur after absorbing The Divine Tree. His captains stood with him in steaming cloud and ashes within the vacuums of space left. 

None of them realized they were only able to breathe due to his divinity. 

Valeur swapped their locations to a nearby planet. 

He began plotting on his next mission to locate and visit The Divine Gods. 

The Divine Gods feared the wrath of Valeur, evacuating from Planet Fushia before he arrived. 

After the invasion of their homeland, they quickly came to a common census to negotiate peace with the demon. They planned a meeting and negotiated to work under his command. 

Despite the potential tension rising within the beings of divinity, they decided to officially crown him as leader of The Divine. 

Less than a year after Valeur's visit with The Divine Gods, a newborn baby boy was welcomed into the world on a cold winter day. 

The expectancy of the child was more anticipated than common. Due to the lineage of his parents being overall stronger than majority of mankind. 

The baby was born to a family of divinity, both of his parents contained spiritual prowess of The Divine Gods within their souls. 

A baby with bright red eyes and white hair, but the child was born without his parent's spiritual prowess. 

The young man spent his the six months in his mother's womb listening and noting knowledge in his brain. He soaked in conversations from her and learned from the experience of being with his mother at all times before birth. 

His mother was an extremely powerful being, a spiritual being created from The Divine Tree by Mother Fushia. The original Divine Goddess, creator of divinity. The eldest woman of The Seven Seeds. 

She was an overpowered Divine Goddess created by The Divine Tree, but his father was the most feared and powerful being in history of the worlds. 

The ruler of multiverses, merciless to all species across galaxies, and the monstrosity known as The Divine Demon.

Valeur. 

The Divine Demon was thrilled to have a demon hybrid child, mixed with demon and divinity directly from a seed of Mother Fushia. He was most excited for the potential prowess of his child, although The Divine Goddess hoped to guide her son through a peaceful life.

Beings from across the universes of all species viewed the child as a future tyrant before he was even born, but the mother stared into his eyes with other plans in mind.

The Divine Goddess held the newborn baby after giving birth to the gifted child. There was something peculiar about her son that she quickly picked up on while listening to his first cries. 

Something that sincerely pained her deeply in the heart and soul. It struck worries and anxiety regarding her newborn's future. 

The child's parents contained divine energy and demonic energy, but the newborn baby himself contained no spiritual essence. 

Divine Goddess and The Divine Demon created a child, a child that was expected to have the most spiritual potential in history. Instead, he contained neither of their divinity. 

The child, created from divinity, bared no soul within him. 

Valeur arrived shortly after being informed of the birth, in awe of the sight of little to no spiritual essence in the room. The small amount of spiritual pressure he felt came from the Goddess, low on spiritual energy after giving birth to a child. 

"Ahhh... I arrived late in hopes that you were finished—Kyouma, this child!" Valeur's eyes blinked as he eyeballed the child, his heart turmoiling into the bottom of his stomach. "This child bares no soul!" 

"I know... I've noticed that but I couldn't tell before he was born." Kyouma held her baby tightly against her chest, she asked. "Please... can I help our child?"

Valeur looked down upon her with a mugged frown on his face. "The child is soulless, there's nothing it can do for either of us."

Kyouma attempted to stand from the bed she gave birth on, but she was weakened after the birth with an energy presence that was nearly depleted. 

Valeur's frowned expression remained on her and the baby, the disgust of his child having no soul written on his face. He noticed the child's head full of gray and white hair while glaring into the glowing red eyes of the child.

"Please... just let me keep him. I can make him stronger, teach him to be an intelligent young man..." Kyouma looked into the demon's eyes and yelled. "Just don't take my child from me!"

Valeur suddenly appeared behind her using teleportation technique. He gently placing a hand on her shoulder to peacefully knock her unconscious. He caught the crying child while laying her in the bed, placing the baby into a gentle sleep upon his touch.

"This child... you are soulless." Valeur glared down at the baby, his skin boiling with anger and disbelief. "This... is a disappointment... but I shall rid of you and try again. Just maybe... maybe I'll give you an opportunity. I suppose... you can be tested."

Valeur teleported locations to a much darker world, arriving to the black portal that demons called Hell's Gate. The portal was a one way path to one of the Demon Realms or Hell. The drop location varied depending on time of entering. 

"I don't know which realm you'll drop in... but this is your opportunity to prove yourself." Valeur looked at the sleeping child while leaning the child over the black portal. "Good luck, Soulless."
