Chapter 11:

The Power of Armies Spread Death

The Demonic Aka Manto

The Power of the Armies Spread Death.

「Hey, Grim can anyone really work here?

「You underestimate me and my underlings don't you? Remember that they all work for me, Death. That makes them entities of Death. So they can work in any environment even if they die. Until they finish their current mission, I will not permit them to die.

「So what if it were their mission to kill God?

「Then via the contract that even God and I made that makes it that, we have an infinitely undead army.

「Then doesn't that mean the mission is as good as won?

「Not quite, this just means that they need to be able to instantly kill us infinitely then our strategy is countered. If I may say, if we are going up against the numbers of God, then our undead strategy is as good as water in the flaming parts of Hell.

「Water in those parts of Hell is just going to evaporate through.

「Exactly! It's useless.

「So, we're going to need to toughen up your army, get another strong asset to the army and toughen them up, get all the major demons in Hell to my side and then I will stand at least a 1% chance against God?

「Precisely! If you manage to counter those revive droplets, then we have a 5% chance. Which if I may point out, is still very low.

「Even if I had a 0.0000000001% per cent chance, I would take it.

「You really are an interesting boy aren't you, Lord Aka Manto?

「That coming from you is honestly amazing.

「Positive emotions aren't a trait would normally have.

「I may have been a demon before but, I was then reborn and raised as a human.

「Could that possibly be why you erased your memories? Is it because you were filled with anger and hatred?

「I still don't have any real memories of that time. However, I must admit that it is a very likely possibility. It's also very selfish, just like what a demon would.

「Indeed, just like the devilish hellion, you were and what everyone remembered you to be.

「Was I really that bad?

「Oh trust me, you were terrible. If someone were to be the embodiment of fear, then even he would be scared.

「Were you scared?

「You do realise that I cannot die, right?

「It would be impressive if I were to even fear an immortal though, wouldn't it?

「I suppose your credentials would be rather high up if a foolish immortal would fear you.

「Also, is it really possible that the embodiment of fear can fear something? Isn't that the one that strikes fear into other entities hearts?

「That is true. However, imagine if you could strike fear into fear itself, wouldn't that give you the title of the embodiment of fear? Pretty awesome isn't it?

「It does sound rather awesome!

「Well, that's enough daydreaming. It's time to give you an army that is able to actually do that.

「Really?!

「Taking out embodiments alone is rather easy unless they have the power and skills that are on the same level as yours. Right now, however, we are fighting the embodiment of something that rules over everything, how more overpowered can you get?

「Oh, I don't know maybe, being death?

「Did you forget that I, the Grim Reaper, the embodiment of death, have to stay neutral in this entire situation. I cannot die, nor can I fight. That's why I have an army to do so. God only gave me the strongest armies you could ever imagine. However, it's only weakness is Holy Light. That is why we may have a lot of trouble when getting into actually killing God, even if this is an army of death

「What a sly fox for a God.

「Well, are you ready to take command to the armies of death?

「I'm a bit nervous, but I will do my best to succeed.

「You really are aiming to kill God aren't you?

「After everything he has done. After everything he has said. After everything I have said. After everything I have already done. I cannot back down. As I will never back down!

「That's the spirit! Now go get them!

Grim then pushed me inside the door and then everything came to light. I shouldn't have underestimated the building from the outside. From the outside it ooked so plain and fragile. In the inside however, it was a gigantic, no, humongous. You could see about a hundred thousand units. There were multiple races, one is for a different purpose I suppose. The two shinigami then stepped on both side of me and then pronounced:

「Listen here, we are the two heads of the Japan branch. I would like to introduce our new leader:

「Aka Manto! Step forward and give us a nice deathly speech. Explain what our mission is about and how you plan on using us. Of course since Death's decision is final, the way you use us is completely up to you and the speech will not change that.

I definitely should have prepared for this. Improvisation man, what did all those years in the human realm teach you!?

「I am Aka Manto! The one that only legends speak of.I am the one who has defeated the likes of both Lucifer and Satan!I am your new commander!

Death then grabbed my shoulder and looked at me

「Did I or did I not say," Step forward and give us a nice deathly speech"?

Crap did I mess up!? I thought that speech was pretty good! Oh no, I've got to bring myself back up again! I can't lose an army like this!

「You did...

`「 Then give us a speech about death, one that will motivate the hearts of darkness within us.

「 I'll try my best. However I never really had ever created a speech about motivating death reapers before

「It's easy just tell them a really sad made up story.

「Ahh~...uhm...sure...?

「Good, good well then, to motivate them.

I walked on the stage and then set my eyes unto the audience. Some units were scary, others looked somewhat cute. However, what was important is that they were all immortal and they all were useful units in war. Woahh, that was a rather demonic thought that had popped up in my head... I mean honestly, I just thought of them as objects and nothing more. I remember a story about a puppy dying, I guess I'll tell them that.

「AHEM! I once saw a puppy get run over by a cat

The audience then looked at me with a great array of faces, as if they were expecting me to say something.

「I-It died...?

The audience then looked at each other and smiled, then they all cheered as if they were saying that they acknowledged me as their commander. It was then when I felt a cold hand touch my shoulder, it was Grim and he was crying.

「G-Grim Reaper...?

「That was absolutely beautiful. The way you said that I really felt the emotion resonating within you! It made even me, the embodiment of death cry. Brilliant.

「T-Thank you...

Well, I guess with that...speech...? I am now commanding one of the strongest armies in the universe. How Grand! How very convenient! How too convenient

「Hey, Death. Why was it so easy to gain command of your army?

「That is probably because, only people who gain my respect, have interesting and unique goals as well as having enough power to rival even an omnipotent being such as God. As you could probably guess there are not many people who can fit that required criteria.

「Is that really all there is to it though?

「Also, my army is somewhat stupid.

「Great...

「Don't get me wrong, they're stupendous in combat, it's just that outside of combat they're very gullible...

「Got it, wait... Does that apply to you?

「Judging by what I've already explained to you and answered, do you really think it would apply to me as well?

Oh... He looks a tiny bit pissed, maybe I should just agree with him so he doesn't change his mind and potentially kill me thinking that I've disrespected him... haha ha...ha ha. ha

「Ha ha... ha ha ha HA....ha ha...ha...?

「What's so funny?

「It was a joke! Of course... haha. You're death! Obviously, you wouldn't be that gullible.

「I thought so... haha....

Beelzebub then looked at me with a smug smile...I wonder wh- CRAAAP I FORGOOTTT!!! She can read my thoughts!

「Hehe

"Hehe" my ass! You better not tell Death what I've been thinking otherwise I'll... I'll... I won't kiss you when I get the chance...

It was at that moment I saw, Beelzebub was ...blushing!? Could it be that she really wants to kiss me!? No way! Then again, when I have a closer look at her, she does look really cute... Woahh...She's blushing even more...

「SH-SHUT UP YOU IDIOT!!! STOP THINKING ABOUT THOSE THINGS!!!!

WHY DID YOU SAY THAT OUT LOUD!? ESPECIALLY WHEN DEATH AND HIS ARMY IS HERE!?

「Ah...S-Sorry, I was thinking about a bad breakup...

Ah, maybe I should step in here!

「It's fine because now you have me...

Man...that sounded really cool... maybe tonight I might actually get... ahm...hehe..hehe

[DAYDREAM TIME}

「Ahhhn...Aka Manto...you.you.you.....

「YOU IDIOTTT!!!! STOP THINKING ABOUT LEWD STUFF!!!

[DAYDREAM TIME INTERRUPTED]

Oh, crappp...

「STOP READING MY THOUGHTS ALREADY!!!!
