The Start Of The New Cosmic Empire

Main Story

In the base, Yuki was showing Ava, Saya, Tsuki and Alexis where their rooms are. Paulo was in the middle of the training room in their base.

After training Paulo decided to walk around to let out some steam. “So, if I got cosmic soldiers, doesn’t that mean I could build a kingdom if I get enough of them.” Paulo thought this so he went to planning.

Paulo then walks back to the training room as he walks to the end of the space. Paulo then walks as he lines up his cosmic soldiers.

Paulo then said to his soldiers, "This is Training." Riku looks Startled when he just got summoned, what is the rules to this, training session."

Paulo then looked at all his summons, "You guys have to fight me for this session. if you land a single hit you win. But-" Maki then cuts in and said, "How do you win Paulo."

Paulo then said to maki, "I was going to finished but I will. if I tire you guys out you lose before you land a hit, I win." They all nodded.

In the Ghostface Group base there was a meeting happening, in the meeting room. There was the leader, three of the supreme generals and fifty captains in the room for the meeting.

One of the three supreme generals stood on the podium in the middle of room, as he stood, he shouted, "I AM SHINGO MASUSA, ONE OF THE 3 SUPREME GENERALS. THE BOSS WANTS TO TALK TO US SO SHOW SOME RESPECT.

The leader then stood on the podium as his taps the mic three times before saying, "Here by today, Me, Oliver Sly, will tell you about the threats that are the cosmic 10."

Oliver continued his speech as his voice raises, "The cosmic 10 was a threat that has now re-emerged, and now it has killed ten thousand of our men in a single week."

Shingo stood up next to Oliver as he continued, "His name is Paulo Satoshi, Cosmic Green. He has the power of THE EYE; He can copy and have access to future sight but has not used the latter yet."

Oliver turned his, "What moves has he copied yet." Shingo then replied, sweating out bullets, "He has copied a few moves, powerful moves, 4 are related to the dead and 2 are used for close combat."

Oliver looked shocked, as he was expecting to copy more than 15 moves in a week, "So he's only copied 6 moves, 4 are death and 2 are for combat, huh. Am I right Shingo." Shingo nodded as he walks to the board to show everyone a list of each move.

Sakura, another one of 3 Supreme Generals then finally stood up and said, "So he can do a Cleave, he can Clone himself, His dead skills are Shadow Preservation, Shadow Exchange, Shadow Storage and Shadow Extraction

Oliver walked up to the podium and replied to what Sakura said by saying, "If he learns more moves, he can become a threat even our Supreme Generals can't take on.”

Oliver then turned to the other members and shouted, “SO FIND HIM BEFORE HE LEARNS MORE MOVES. KILL HIM AT ALL COST. THE MEETING IS NOW DONE.”

Back to the training room, Paulo was dodging all their attacks viciously. Paulo then moved in a swift zig zag pattern around his soldiers and cuts their heads.

The heads of the soldiers regenerated because the soldiers are bound to his soul after death, so they didn’t die.

Paulo then swings his sword up to block Riku’s surprise attack. He then kicks Riku in the air then does a spinning tornado kick sending Riku to the wall.

Maki then send some Lightning bullets then sent them at Paulo, But he created a clone to escape the attack.

Paulo then charged at Hiro then swung his sword down at him with cosmic energy, but he dodged Paulo’s attack and tried to kick his neck

Yurei then tried to do a following attack to support Hiro, but Paulo blocked all of their attack and sent them flying.

Paulo then saw that Riku snuck up behind up with faster speed which surprised him, but Paulo blocked him.

Riku then hit Paulo’s head and won the training match. Akikage, Haruka and Minako where disappointed because they couldn’t move because of Paulo’s aura.

Paulo then wrote down their new power levels on the board. Riku a power level of 12 million. Maki got a power level of 8 million. Hiro and Yurei got a power level 2 million.

Paulo then said, “I couldn’t test Akikage’s, Haruka’s and Minako’s power level because they didn’t move.

Alexis then walked into the training room looking like he just woke up. "What's with all that noise Paulo." he muttered while yawning.

"Looks like Paulo was training his soldiers for once."

Ness and Paulo looked back and sees Yuki smiling at them. Paulo then nodded as he says, "Yeah my whole cosmic soldiers including me have a total power level of 150 million if they all got our own tengu masks.”

Paulo let out a bitter laugh, scoffing at himself. “No… this power is nothing. Against the might of the Ghostface group, me and my Cosmic Soldiers don’t stand a chance.”

Yuki’s eyes narrowed to slits. “You want me and Riku to fly around hunting Oni bases? Fine — every Oni in the bases I’ve scoped clocks in at a total power level of 1.5 million each. Let’s go.”

Paulo then nodded, his expression sharpening as the weight of the coming battle settled on his shoulders. The faint glow of the setting sun cast long shadows across the jagged rocks around them, making the air feel heavy with anticipation.

He turned his gaze toward Yuki, his tone firm yet calm as he said, "How many oni are in each base?"

Yuki straightened, her eyes narrowing as she recalled the information she had gathered during her reconnaissance.

Her voice carried a steady resolve when she answered, "There are 15 oni in each base I found. So, we can get 22.5 million more levels of power from this hunt."

The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

A tense silence followed, the enormity of the numbers hanging in the air like a storm cloud. The sheer amount of power waiting to be claimed was both thrilling and terrifying.

The ground beneath them almost seemed to hum with the distant energy of their foes, as though the oni themselves could sense they were being targeted.

Finally, Yuki broke the silence, her voice sharper now, urging them onward. "Let’s go, Riku."

Riku, who had been quietly gripping the hilt of his blade, lifted his head. His eyes gleamed with determination, and without hesitation, he gave a firm nod.

"Right," he said, his tone carrying the promise of blood and triumph as he prepared to follow them into the looming hunt.

Yuki and Riku finally arrived at the first oni base that Yuki had scouted earlier. The air grew thick and oppressive the moment they stepped onto the outskirts, the shadows of the looming fortress stretching like claws across the ground.

As they drew closer, Riku suddenly froze, his chest tightening as a crushing wave of energy washed over him.

The sheer intensity of the aura radiating from within the base was overwhelming, so immense that it made Paulo’s presence, once thought to be unmatched, feel faint and fragile in comparison.

Riku then landed with a thunderous impact, the earth beneath him cracking as his aura flared—brilliant, radiant, and suffocating.

The Oni who had descended from the sky stood unfazed, her own energy pulsing like molten iron.

Even Paulo’s cosmic presence paled in comparison to the storm that now brewed between them. “What’s your name,” Riku demanded, light crackling around his limbs, “before I have to kill you? My leader seeks to expand his army of cosmic soldiers.”

The Oni narrowed her eyes, her voice calm but edged with steel. “Kuro Momiji. And what does the Cosmic King want with us? Isn’t he dead?”

Riku’s breath caught. So, the rumours hadn't spread. others didn't know that Paulo the vessel of the Monarch of Radiation. He clenched his fists. “I’ll tell you what I know... after the fight.”

He turned, shouting into the wind. “Yuki! Take the other bases—deal with the rest of the Oni!” Kuro’s stance shifted, her feet sliding into the dirt with practiced grace.

Riku mirrored her, light surging through his right leg. Then, without warning, he launched forward.

The first clash was explosive. Riku’s Light Flash Kick connected with Kuro’s jaw, sending her crashing through a line of trees.

He didn’t wait. Sprinting low, he slid beneath the debris, grabbed her mid-motion, and drove a light-infused punch into her ribs. She skidded across the forest floor, metal sparks trailing behind her.

But Kuro was already rising. Her fist, coated in shimmering metal, rocketed toward Riku. He barely blocked it, the impact sending tremors through his bones. She’s a metal-type Oni, he realized. Physical strikes won’t cut it.

Kuro pressed the advantage. Her uppercut launched Riku skyward, and before he could recover, she slammed him back down in a brutal arc. The ground cratered beneath him.

Riku rolled, coughing blood, and charged again. His knee strike was caught mid-air—Kuro’s grip like iron. She twisted, delivering a roundhouse kick that hurled him through another grove of trees.

Gritting his teeth, Riku summoned his Twin Light Serpents. The glowing constructs hissed forward, weaving through the air.

Kuro leapt, flipping over them with impossible agility, and landed a backflip kick that nearly shattered Riku’s arm. The battle intensified.

Blow after blow, light against metal, fury against precision. Riku fought with desperation, but Kuro was a master of control—every counter, every strike, executed with ruthless efficiency.

Riku staggered back, his breath ragged. I need to change tactics. Kuro surged forward, her Metal Kick aimed to end it.

Riku roared, unleashing his Dual Light Cannons. The beams collided with her mid-charge, blasting her into the mountainside. The earth trembled.

But she rose again. Kuro swept Riku’s legs, sending him crashing into a tree trunk. He groaned, blood dripping from his temple. His vision blurred, but his resolve hardened.

He shot skyward, light flight propelling him to the mountain’s peak. From above, he fired a barrage of Light Bullets, raining energy down like divine judgment.

Kuro responded with a flurry of Metal Slashes, each one slicing through the air, deflecting the bullets in a dazzling display of power. Riku hovered, bleeding, exhausted—but defiant. Then he saw it. Another Oni, approaching fast.

Riku then approached Kuro in a zig zag pattern so he can kill the other oni’s with the radiation of his light flight.

Yuki then arrived at the scene with the 60 Oni corpses. Yuki then saw that Riku was almost defeated by Kuro.

Riku groaned, forcing himself to stand. His mind raced. This wasn’t enough. He needed more. With a deep breath, he reached inward calling upon Yuki.

“YUKI SEND ME THE MASK.” Riku yelled at Yuki, thinking this is the only way to victory. Yuki then chuckled as she throwed the mask at Riku

The moment stretched. Shadows swirled behind Riku. Kuro’s eyes widened as the air itself shifted. Riku caught the Tengu mask, pressing it against his face.

From the darkness, another shadow ethereal figure materialized, wrapping her arms around him. The fusion took hold, their energies merging. Riku was no longer alone. He had become the Tengu.

As the fusion took full effect, Riku's form underwent a dramatic transformation. From beneath the mask, two sharp horns emerged, curving menacingly.

Dark wings unfurled from his back, stretching wide, their presence casting an overwhelming shadow across the battlefield.

But when he spoke, it was not his voice. It was another figure named Lily Mori. Her ethereal tone echoed through the air, laced with both fury and finality. “Kuro Momiji, for the crime of harming my dear Riku—my husband—your sentence is death.”

Before Kuro could react, the fusion struck. Light and shadow twisted together, warping space itself. In an instant, her fate was sealed.

The attack hit with devastating force, erasing Kuro’s mortal existence in a blinding flash. When the fused Riku opened his eye, he only saw that Kuro missed an arm.

Riku’s and Yuki’s eyes widen when they saw the scene. Riku’s breath got faster when he realised that the Tengu mask Wasn’t enough.

Kuro then regenerated her arm and chuckled, “Is this the best of the cosmic army can do, Pathetic.” Riku got agitated and mad as he charges at Kuro.

“RIKU STOP, we need a plan” Yuki yelled, trying to get Riku to stop. Riku couldn’t hear him as the Lily took over. Lily then sent Giant Shadow tentacles at Kuro.

Kuro saw the tentacles however, but he didn’t dodge in time because he was cut in half. Lily then let Riku take over as the battle is already done.

Riku then dropped to the ground, passed out next to the dead Kuro. Yuki then rushed to Riku’s side, Trying to see If he Is still conscious, “Well, he’s unconscious but Cosmic soldiers can’t die if the owner of the technique dies.”

Yuki then carries Riku back to the base to see it under attack. Yuki then crashed landed after getting bombarded with magical arrows.

A Ghostface member then approach them, chuckling, “Hi there, you’re not a part of Paulo Satoshi’s Cosmic Soldiers.”

Yuki then yelled at the Ghostface group member, “WHO ARE YOU.” The Ghostface member chuckled again at Yuki’s bloodlust.

“Me. You want to know MY NAME!!!” the member yelled, trying to be intimidating. Yuki then nodded, not feeling the fear.

“FINE, my name is Momoi Saito, HAPPY!!!” she introduced while yelling. Momoi then charged at Yuki for an attack, but she was too weak to move at the moment.

Haruka then blocked the fist that was aimed at Yuki, causing her own hand to be in pain. She then looked at Yuki and said, “Let me deal with her.”

Meanwhile in the Paulo’s bedroom, Alexis and Saya was hiding under the bed while Ava and Tsuki were hiding in the cupboard.

A Ghostface member then appeared, smashing the door down in the progress. The member can sense that there where two people under the bed and two people in the cupboard.

The Ghostface member then smashed the bed into pieces and making him Alexis and Saya visible. The Member then tried to grab Alexis to kill him first, but Alexis made a run for it.

The member then smashed Alexis through a couple of walls to where Momoi was. Haruka then saw Alexis on the ground bleeding, broken and near to death.

“Momoi hurry up, we need to find and kill Paulo Satoshi.”

Everyone then turns around to see the Ghostface member holding Saya’s bloodied face. Yuki’s eyes widen as Riku wakes up.

Riku then kicked the head of the Ghostface member, making him drop Saya and making the member go flying into the wall.

“Who are you guys, I’m Riku the second strongest in the cosmic army.” Riku said, questioning the member who still hasn’t said its name.

The member then got up from the wall, his injuries healing with flames, “I am Tetsuya Saito, I am Momoi’s wife and one of the captains of the Ghostface group.”

The battle was about to begin but the real question people where asking, where is Paulo Satoshi
