(Across the Multiverse)
"This is bad..."
Near the tip of a large mountain, two figures could be seen standing together. One was dressed in regal attire and was tall in appearance. He is a handsome man who seems to be in his early 20's. He has shoulder-length crimson red hair and blueish-green eyes that seemed to sparkle in the light. Next to him was a middle-aged man with a carefree expression. He wore a dark purple business suit, along with purple pants and pitch-black shoes. His appearance was roughish, with an average build, black hair, golden bangs, and a black goatee.
Both were currently gazing out across a vast forest, and in that forest was a gigantic structure.
The red-head had a grim expression, while the other had a gleam in his eyes as he stroked his goatee.
"What do you think, Azazel?"
The red-head turned toward the other man, his expression still grim. Azazel gave a sigh as he squinted at the structure. "I have no clue," He rubbed the back of his neck, "I had a few people check it out, but when they got too close, they were suddenly turned to ash from some sort of energy beam."
The red-head expression grew even grimmer as the muscles in his jaws flexed.
"Lord Sirzech's?!"
Hearing the sudden shout, the redhead spun around and saw a figure flash behind him. The person was a low-leveled devil, and his family crest upon his clothes. Sirzech's frowned and said, "Speak." The devil bowed and sweat-drenched down the side of his face, "L-Lady Rias has had another episode-" His words were cut short when the air around him suddenly grew cold. A bone-chilling fear drove the low-devil to his knees. A red storm of energy swirled around Sirzech's, his eyes gleaming in rage and sorrow.
Azazel beside him also had eyes filled with a dangerous light. Sirzech's lips peeled back, and he bared his teeth in anger. His head snapped around, and his intense gaze struck the large structure. The structure itself was ominous, it seemed to continue upwards into the heavens above. It was made of black crystal material, large jagged spikes shot out from its body and impaled into the ground around it. From within, black sludge seemed to ooze out and touch the earth below. The trees and life disappeared into dust.
"Damn..."
The energy from Sirzech's grew wild.
"DAMN THIS FUCKING MONSTORSITY!"
Azazel felt the same way, deep down he could feel his own unbridled rage.
(Vali...)
Azazel bite his lip, as his hands started to shake. He can still remember the boys cries of pain, when he touched the crystal. He had suffered a massive mental attack, which has rendered him into a coma.
Albino, was the only thing that was keeping him sane.
Rias, Sirzech's little sister, also suffered from the crystals effect.
It took both Michael and Sirzech's power combined to help elevate some of her symptoms.
Even worse...
Ophis, the Infinite Dragon God, is currently missing...
