Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: Demon vs Heroes

As soon as an army officer touches that gate, he suddenly disappears. Seeing this, the rest of the officers become alert. Then their commander says in a stern voice —

"No one will touch anything without my permission!"

At the same moment, a foul stench starts coming from the other gate nearby. That meant another demon was about to emerge. All the officers cover their noses and step back. Suddenly, a man in the crowd shouts loudly —

"Officer! This is the same smoke that came out when the first demon appeared!"

Hearing this, the commander immediately orders his team to aim at the gate. All army officers point their guns toward it. Suddenly, a terrifying roar comes from inside the gate. The commander quickly calls for a missile and orders an attack before the demon can come out.

Everyone thought the demon was dead, but nothing like that happened. The demon still emerged alive. The captain couldn't believe it. He immediately contacted the base through his walkie-talkie and reported the situation. Then he gave the order to fire another missile.

As soon as the missile was launched according to the plan, the demon leaped high into the air and destroyed it mid-flight. Seeing this, everyone was shocked — because both the demon's height and his leap were monstrous.

The commander instantly ordered all civilians to evacuate and then shouted to his group —

"Don't panic, comrades! Today, either we kill it, or we die here ourselves!"

The demon began devouring the soldiers one by one. Then his eyes fell on the commander. He roared and charged at him, and just when he was about to swallow the commander — suddenly, a glowing sword of energy pierced through the demon's neck.

The demon collapsed dead on the ground.

The commander's eyes fell on the man holding the sword, and his heart skipped a beat. He was stunned —

"This… this is the same officer… who touched that gate! But… how is he alive?"

That officer was no longer an ordinary human. His shirt was torn apart, his body was floating in the air, and strange light was glowing from his eyes.

In a booming voice, he said to the commander —

"Give the order… tell everyone to touch this gate!"

The commander hesitated for a moment… but then his voice rang out —

"Listen up, all of you! Whoever can hear me, go touch that second gate immediately!"

The remaining soldiers didn't waste a moment and rushed toward the gate, touching it one by one.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Jeson — the same first officer — was already standing near the gate. His eyes burned with determination.

He focused his energy, and suddenly, a strange machine appeared in his hands. But this machine wasn't ordinary… it didn't fire bullets — it fired shining Energy Swords.

Jeson aimed his blade at the gate.

As soon as the gate opened, a swarm rushed out — hundreds of small demons.

Jeson roared and swung his sword.

The blue energy lit up the entire battlefield, and in an instant, all the small demons were torn apart and fell lifeless.

---

But then the ground shook violently.

Out of the gate emerged — a giant demon.

His roar split the skies.

Jeson's expression grew serious, and he stepped back, realizing this foe was far more dangerous.

At that moment, more officers stepped out of the gate.

They looked different… because the gate had granted them powers.

Not all of them, but their strength had grown far beyond normal.

Some of them stood right beside Jeson —

One had flames bursting out of his palms,

Another was surrounded by streams of swirling water,

And a third's eyes glowed, firing beams of laser-like energy.

Jeson looked at them, bowed his head slightly, and said —

"Come on… let's finish this together."

---

What followed was a horrific battle.

Swords clashed, fire and water ripped through the air, and lasers pierced the demon's flesh.

The entire land had turned into a battlefield.

And then…

When the smoke and dust cleared, the camera slowly zoomed in —

The massive demon lay dead on the ground.

Jeson and the other heroes stood together, their victorious eyes meeting.

The camera zoomed further out —

All across the world, one by one, gates were opening.

Some ripped the skies with blue light, others spewed black smoke from the ground.

And we realize that…

"These gates… were both a blessing and a curse. Some gained unlimited power… while others gained nothing at all."

Then we are shown India.

Across its many states, gates begin to open —

Delhi, Mumbai, Lucknow, Jaipur… every state across the country.

And then suddenly, the screen freezes on Raipur.

Thunder cracks across the sky ⚡

A black doorway appears in the air.

Chaos erupts among the people, screams echo everywhere.

Then the sound of sirens 🚨

Police cars rush to the spot.

The camera slowly pans down —

Police officers stand with their weapons aimed at the gate.

And at that very moment…

Amidst the glowing blue light from the gate,

A few superheroes descend.

Determination on their faces, and in their eyes, only one vow —

"Whatever comes out of this gate today… will not cross the soil of Raipur."
