Decades when by with the continuos sounds of metal clashing, ground breaking, explosion exploding and more created by the two sides opposing each other, on one side is a single human while on the other side what used to be a team of ten is now reduced to only 4 still standing, but not for long.
Dante and Vergil in their sin devil trigger, nero in his devil trigger and Soki in his oni form, finally fall by the hand of their enemy. Infront of them is a beast, four legs, 2 small human like while the other 2 is disproportionately big for it small body, 4 tails of different coloured scale consist of black, crimson red, white and the other one has molten lava spewing from some part of it rocky exterior. 3 wings, one of them is white with red lining the other are crimson red and black with blue lining, other than the wings there is also a wing-like appendages that features cannon-like chute that can extrude globules of magma. Glowing spikes along his back, a giant hole on the upper left side of his face which can be seen a blue eyeball floating despite not having anything keeping it in it place.
This is none other than Masaru albeit moving and acting more like a mindless because of the souls he absorbed after killing them is fighting for dominance over the body that is also including the four that he just killed.
Roaring like a mad mindless beast, the whole castle shakes by it. Cracks start to appear all over the wall but instead followed by falling pieces of the wall, the cracks emit purplish black light from it and the final standing trial pillar glow dim reddish black and becoming brighter and brighter.
Words start to appear near the base of the pillar.
"3 trials to be royal celestial executioner,
first, fight to gain strength,
second, win for the ultimate vessel of power,
third, Fight! for the winning soul will remain"
after a few second the words vanish and giant chaotic aura start to emerge from Masaru, the aura kept shifting from the shape of shin godzilla into the fatalis and it kept changing between the 10 from the pillar, ended with Masaru and the cycle start again.
Masaru can feel the soul of the 10 he defeated is fighting to decide who will be the owner of HIS body, this alone is enough to make him angry but he is to tired and he is all alone this time, no weapon, no abilities, and no way to evade the clash.
As he is about to let the will of the other souls consume him as he feels colder as the time goes, before he could truly be consumed he feels a warm sensation on his chest. This sensation remind him of something, of someone that he somehow manage to forgot after decades of fighting nonstop, someone that is precious to him.
"NONE OF YOU FUCKERS WILL WAKE UP TO MY WIFE'S SLEEPING FACE!!!" as his soul shouts those word, golden aura flare up toward the sky engulfing the other auras in it. Slowly the other souls get consumed by the by Masaru's and his physical body also start to change. The multiple tails, legs and wings merging into one, the body size increasing, his head start to change in shape, and parts of his body start to grow scale and the others start to grow fur-like hair.
As the transformation stop he give one more deafening roar the castle wall crumbles revealing a vast rocky wasteland filled with monsters and the roars contains power enough to signals those that feel it, The Emperor has arrive and not to be messed with and true to it power, powerful being across the universe feel the chills from this unknown source and some dragons even bow to it with respect, some with terror in their heart and some reluctantly because someone out there manage to make them bow despite not being in contact with each others.
-------
Inside a silver void a hazy humanoid figure start to reveal it form as a man this is none other than R.O.B. . "do you hear that roar you idiots, me and my friend gonna answer your war invitation so you better be ready"
-------
inside a red dimension fill with skeleton, blood and fire. on top of a throne a figure of a man can be seen surrounded by 7 pillar with one of it broken. " *hmph*, what can you do with a single executioner. BAHAHAHA you really think that little soul you get from that corner of a universe can defeat mine just because he killed one of my pawn, don't get cocky old man" the figure then continues to laugh.
-------
Inside a pink and yellow dimension fill with moans of multiple women two female figure can be seen one on a throne and another on top of a male that acting as a chair. "you think this one will be the same as the others nee-sama?" ask the one sitting on the man. "all man are the same, including the one you sitting on!" says the other one full with hatred and as she's winding her feet to kick the man only to be stop by her sister. "nee-sama no! he's mine, he's the only man that has ever be nice to me, right my love." "yes..my..love" says the man in a weak voice. "and who knows maybe this one will change your mind to never judge individual based on others." says the little sister only to be ignored by her big sister. "whatever it is we can only wait and see"
-------
back to the silver void, "to think this simple transformation of yours can be this delicate and dangerous where if you lose, you lose your life and privileges to reincarnate. This has never happen to the souls before you even those that wish for similar way to get powers, yours are the only one that is this delicate, my guess it might has thing to do with the victory aspect. Well whatever it is you need to rest, I'll tell you everything next time we meet and imp sure you have your own question."
-------
After the roar stop, and his flaring golden aura start to become calmer, Masaru in his new body fall to the ground unconscious only to wake up later on his bed where he'll find out that he gonna need a bigger house. Way way bigger house.
"mmm... why are my feet cold, I must have kick it off the bed...bad habit" as he trying to grab blanket that supposedly is on the floor. instead of finding the blanket he is welcome with a scratching sound of a sharp object against the floor, having his interest picked he decide to finally open his eyes. What greets him is the sight of his beloved wife sleeping soundly on top of him and when he look toward his chest he could see her hand is on it. "thank you for giving me the warmth to push through the last hurdle sweetheart"
He caress her head as he said that and only then he realize that she now has purple horns, wings and tail. She's sleeping peacefully there while being hug by his arm and....his... wings...he lift his head a little bit and manage to see that he has dragon feet and a long tail. "I guess I'm a dragon now?" soon after a piece of paper appear in front of his face saying 'take your well deserve rest and get use to your new body, its about time we talk about what happen on your first mission. oh and after your wife wakes up both of you will get a little headache thanks to the information I'm about to give concerning what happen to both of you. other than that its all yours to handle,
Sincerely your best friend
Sessh. aka R.O.B.'
"so its about time huh" he looks again toward Taki's sleeping face and think "I'm not gonna let you in any kind of danger" and went back to sleep.
