"Transcendence from the barriers of the metaphysical is but a mere glimpse to something far grander. To the point where the petals of what is real is but a mere comedy. A truly divine comedy. Wouldn't you agree, my dear reader?"

- Loyce Hal

"You are not afraid to die? There is only one thing a man fears more than dying; and that is to die more than once. That shall be your punishment; to die a gruesome, painful, terrifying and inevitable death, only to be revived, and to experience it once more, the pain, the fear, only ever getting worse. For all eternity. Do not come for this world again. It is not yours to rule, but mine."

- Loyce breaking Tyrannon the Conquerer's mind

Great Demon Lord Loyce Hal, codenamed Empire, is the penultimate strongest primordial demon in existence, as well as an SS+ Rated Inner Shadow to the Black Legion. Possessing tremendous magical power capable of bending not only reality but entire narratives, Loyce managed to conquer an uncountable number of magical realms, reaching the thousands, and rule each one as their respective Demon Lord. His followers are both extremely powerful and numerous. If a realm does not interest Loyce and showed hostility, it is said that the entire universe is destroyed mercilessly by the Demon Lord.

Loyce is an overwhelmingly powerful being, even amongst the Inner Shadows, to the point where his very presence strikes fear and intimidation from many. He is currently the second strongest Inner Shadow, and the third strongest member of the entire Black Legion, his power surpassed only by SSS Rated Inner Shadow Hakah Mah and the SSS Rated leader of the organization, Lord Ginga. Due to the fact that the only people able to surpass his power are SSS Rated, Loyce is even stronger than SS+ Rated Jun Gasket, making him the strongest SS+ Rated Inner Shadow in the Black Legion.

According to the Voice of the Worlds, a reality warping entity who was defeated by the Demon Lord, Loyce is considered the highest tier form of sentience to take mortal physical form in any universe. As the only being to ever evolve to the state of Ultimate Primordial Demon, with the Primordial Demon species being the apex species, Loyce is considered the pinnacle of all monsters in his realms, with an extremely select few beings capable of matching or surpassing his power such as elite Dogma Holders, The Great Akuma, as well as her direct offspring Mahyako and Avalon. He is the Ultimate Divine Demon Lord of the universes Isphixis, Raehafil, and Johal, ruling each realm as its strongest, most powerful being to ever exist. Because of this, Loyce has also amassed numerous Demon Lords who have sworn loyalty to him due to the overwhelming gap in power. These Demon Lords have acted as his Outer Shadows on several occasions, and their armies, directly assimilated under his loyalty.

Loyce was also the superior of the First Hinokami Holder Aelienne the Firebird, before her betrayal to the Black Legion.

UNTIL Case Report

BY ORDER OF SECRETARY-MARSHALL WILHELM CARL ECKHARDT

The following Case File concerns an Existential Cosmic Threat Class capable of Extreme Multiversal Destruction.

Access to this file without appropriate Cosmic Confidentiality Clearance is strictly forbidden.

Subject Briefing

Identification Code: ECTC_VMD 2694
Primus Assigned Alias: EMPIRE
Threat Class: Extremely Cosmic, Multiversal
Risk Level: Extreme
Hostility: Not Hostile but classified unstable.

Statement on Containment and Control

As of current, there has been no method to effectively contain or control 2694 other than to keep the subject non hostile. Subject has been capable of predicting events and appears to transcend the human conception of time, leading to the advantage of foresight. Any form of containment has been deemed impossible, due to 2694's ability to either alter the reality around himself, or to forcefully destroy the containment.

Absolutely under no circumstances, must any contact with Subject 2694 be made due to his unpredictable nature. If in an emergency situation, contact with 2694 is required, it must be done on his accord.

Powers and Abilities

Subject 2694 is an extremely dangerous reality warping entity capable of manipulation to a vast level. The subject claims its name to be Loyce Hal and had come to "investigate our world for potential". Upon being asked for further clarification, Hal provided none. Since then, Hal's whereabouts are unknown.

In terms of power, the being known as Loyce Hal has demonstrated manipulation of reality to an extremely high level of mastery. Hal refers to his ability as Divine Comedy Reality Warping, claiming that his ability to "play with the fabric of reality is so refined, that it is almost comical". According to Dossier Section 6.4A, written by Dr. Stroganoff, Ph.D, Stroganoff writes "even amongst reality warping entities, 2694 is on a class of his own. Exhibiting the ability to completely overwhelm fellow reality warping users and even seemingly take the place of an apex in the hierarchy, this entity is amongst the upper echelon of the upper echelon."

It is currently unknown what the limit of Hal's powers are, as the scope of his abilities are too gargantuan to theoretically quantify with current analytical techniques. The only "apparent" weakness Hal has is his sense of boredom, and it is through this sense of apathy to our world, that he has spared it from destruction.

As of this document's compilation, we of the highest officials of UNTIL have identified the following abilities demonstrated by Subject 2694:

Violation of the First Law - Destruction and Creation: Hal has demonstrated the ability to not only create, but to destroy all forms of matter, energy, space, and by extension, time itself, simply by willing it. In terms of destruction, the said object is simply removed from existence completely. Depending on the severity, Hal can destroy the object to the point where all forms of recollection that the object ever existed in the first place is also destroyed. This also implies that Hal is capable of destroying the very concept of an object itself. Conversely, the creation of an object, as well as time, has also been exhibited by 2694. Examples include the Rigel Incident, in which the supergiant star Rigel of the Orion Constellation was erased from existence for a span of five hours, only to be recreated seemingly instantly. Hal has also demonstrated the ability to create time, a term he denotes as Chronogenesis, seemingly creating time and space in a region such that in the point of view of those within this space, would witness time flow relative to themselves while the outside world is frozen.

Neutralization of Logic and Reason "Divine Comedy": Hal's reality bending abilities are capable of not only destruction of matter, space, and time, but also the very fabric of reason. According to numerous case studies, researchers have bore witness to 2694 defying the laws of physics, including gravity negation, force neutralization and physical property manipulation. Examples of Hal using this concept collapsing ability include moving at unfathomable speeds, travelling from planet to planet in a fraction of a second, and surpassing the speed of light without manipulating space and time. Hal's power to completely eliminate logic and reasoning has also taken the form of insurmountable physical strength. Case Report 56E writes "Subject 2694 has demonstrated strength far surpassing any other being studied thus far... the entity known as Loyce Hal was shown to be capable of sinking and altering plate tectonics with just the movements of a finger. The being is capable of strength far exceeding reason."

• The Staircase of Endless Spirals: Upon being asked to demonstrate his logic neutralization ability, Hal transported a group of UNTIL officers into a strange dimension that consisted of what they testified as a "series of stairs leading to impossible trajectories, twists and convolutions that were geometrically impossible". The realm consisted of numerous geometric contradictions that had caused the officers to be overwhelmed with a sense of "mind breaking mania".
• Schrodinger's Eclipse: During Interview 7E, UNTIL Task Force 67WE449 transported Hal to the location of Kigatilik to test his Divine Comedy power. Hal approached the fellow Demon King and reportedly overwhelmed him easily. Upon being asked to elaborate, the Task Force explained that it was as if the god was experiencing "excruciating burning and freezing at the same time, temperature extremes that logically would not be possible to happen at the same time."
• Absolute Word: The extent of this ability is currently unknown. However, based on what we have observed thus far, Hal has demonstrated the ability to manifest whatever he says into reality. Physical consequences that would otherwise cascade from any changes to reality around Hal are otherwise negated or neglected, meaning the power's scope can not only manifest the uttered word, but could also warp the surroundings such that the world would be affected in a way Hal desires. Hal demonstrated this ability by commanding the moon Io to be erased from existence without causing gravitational anomalies, and to the disbelief of numerous astronomers who observed the moon and its gravitational fields, the moon was disintegrated instantly.

Absolute Chronokinesis: Overwhelming evidence suggests that Subject 2694's perception of time far surpasses any entity encountered thus far by UNTIL. Being passively capable of not just perception of the future, but also to travel to different points in the timestream, Hal has been able to predict and alter events that would have taken place, as well as events that have already happened. By doing so, Hal made the claim that "[he had] already destroyed [our] world a hundred times over, as mankind had deemed [him] too much of a threat, while taking [his] claims as a farce, only to have it restored as if nothing happened in the first place". On one occasion, the vigilante Nighthawk engaged 2694 in a duel, and was incapable of gaining any advantage despite 2694 only relying on physical hand to hand combat. Testimony from Nighthawk claims "his movements and his speed was clearly held back, I knew that much, but even with the extreme handicap, it was as if Loyce was able to predict my movements before I could even execute them. Even feints and psychological elements could not get through to him."

Ultimate Primordial Demon Physiology: In accordance to ancient texts regarding primal creatures provided by Bethany "Witchcraft" Duquesne, the Primordial Demon race was a species that existed even before the appearance of the progenitors of humankind, making them one of the oldest creatures to walk the realm. Extraordinarily powerful variants of demons, the Primordials were said to be both cunning and strong, fighting with both wit and absolute power combined making them the apex species.

Witchcraft has provided the following information in a confidential document. An excerpt from this document has been pulled detailing the characteristics of the species.

From this document along with further investigation from both the scientific and magic community of UNTIL, Loyce has been determined to possess the following abilities outside of his Reality Warping powers:

• Immense Strength, Speed, and Reflexes
• Overwhelming Aura

Suppression System: An interesting discussion with 2694 has revealed that in spite of his tremendous power, the subject has actually found difficulty in suppressing it fully. In multiple occasions, fragments of 2694's monstrous aura have been detected by beings with heightened sensory abilities.

Loyce's monstrous magical aura, witnessed by Doctor Ka

One such event was recorded and captured by Vibora Bay Superhero Doctor Ka, in which the superhero witnessed 2694's inherent power outside of his Reality Warping abilities.

Loyce's Second Form, the "High King"

Loyce's Third Form

To simplify the forms 2694 has taken in an act to try to suppress his power as an Ultimate Primordial, we of the UNTIL Organization have denoted a Tier System to describe his stages. With Tier 1 being the highest level of suppression 2694 has attempted.

Tier 1: This was the form Hal has taken most commonly, the highest level of suppression he claims that keeps his aura from passively destroying everything around himself. This form is his most humanoid appearance.

Tier 2: This form has never been witnessed in person, as the sheer magnitude of the pressure 2694's aura emits would lead to destruction on a global scale. Instead, to witness it, several of our agents, their imaging drones were sent to a different region of space where Hal demonstrated a fraction of what he truly was. Images of 2694's second form were taken on a remote planet, seconds before it and the drone's destruction. During the case study, Loyce claimed that such a form was necessary to "show lesser Demon Lords who were ignorant enough to disregard his humanoid appearance the essence of a real Demon King". This transformation was reportedly capable of passively absorbing the very life force of everything around it, and all forms of energy, entering the dark regions of its "hood". Within seconds of being in this "True Demon Lord Form", the planet began showing signs of death, massive chasms and disintegration of material filled the entire surface, and before any further images of Hal's second form were taken, the planet was already destroyed.

Tier 3: To demonstrate Tier 3, 2694 subjected several UNTIL candidates to a vision in which the eyewitnesses were transported to an even farther region of the universe, where the passive effects of Tier 3 would not cause any direct damage to Earth's reality. However, Hal was only able to maintain Tier 3 for approximately two minutes before the passive reality warping effects of his form began causing numerous anomalies to appear throughout the fabric of reality. Tier 3's form has been described by the witnesses to take the form of a supermassive nebula, with an "eye" at the centre. Ring like structures surrounded the nebula, to which the witnessed described them to resemble "ring shaped black holes, distorting light and reality all around them, even the reality of 2694's body as well." This suggests that in this form, Hal is capable of passively altering reality around himself to the level, if not greater than that, of a supermassive black hole.

Known Subordinates

According to many sources, Loyce possesses the largest following out of all the Inner Shadows in the Black Legion. This is due to his consistent conquests to take over worlds that he deems useful to him, overwhelming and ruling each as their penultimate strongest being to exist. Loyce's armies are numerous, and for a time, a portion of his military force was enough to pressure SSS Ranked Hakah Mah for a brief time at her full power, allowing Loyce to execute his strategy in defeating Yeling's younger sister.

Outer Shadows

Directly Reporting to Black Legion

Tommy Riordan: A S~ Ranked Berserker Class. Riordan's real identity is Fenrir, the Norse Wolf God responsible for eating the Sun during Ragnarok. Fenrir was killed the first time, and reincarnated in the form of a human being by the identity of Tommy Riordan, a University undergraduate studying electrical engineering in the University of Iowa with no recollection of his identity. Riordan is capable of manifesting percentages of his former power, usually through a means of projections of a monstrous towering wolf capable of mass destruction. After the passing of Riordan's parents, Tommy decided his life was no longer worth living, and accepted Loyce's offer to become his Outer Shadow to find meaning to his existence. Tommy is the most active member of Loyce's Shadow Force, and rarely spends time off. Tommy has a phobia for tall women, which interestingly contrasts with SS Ranked Outer Shadow Aaron Hope, who has a tall women fetish which he appears to be very proud of.

• Powers: Demonic Wolf Manifestation, Immortality
• Age: 22
• Species: Reincarnation, Part God, Part Jotunn
• Main Strengths: Nigh infinite regeneration, in his Wolf Form, can easily destroy legions of enemies quickly
• Main Weaknesses: Low strategic skill, easy to be manipulated, evident immature mindset

Vicki Harriet:

Vicki Harriet, Yeling Mah's Superior and Matthew Lam's Martial Arts Teacher

A S Ranked Stealth and Ranged Class. Codenamed "Onyx", Vicki is the reincarnation of the Millennium City Superhero Lens. It is currently unclear the extent of her reincarnation, but it has been stated that Vicki's soul currently inhabits Lena's original body, leading to many to see the striking similarity. Despite striving to be a hero just like her predecessor, Vicki wanted to do it her own way. While Lens was described by those around her to be kind, sweet, and caring, Vicki is anything but that. Cold, calculating, and violent at times, Onyx's ruthlessness and brutal efficiency in taking down her targets gave her an infamous reputation as "The Millennium Medusa". The fact that Vicki was almost always seen with a cigarette in her mouth, or a hard liquor in her hand (and sometimes both) did not help with her superhero image.

However, despite all these setbacks, Vicki still continued to march forward in her conquest to find meaning in her existence by following Lens' legacy, as a superhero to Millennium City. Fighting Cosmics and taking down super villains alongside other members of UNITY, Vicki's relentless and heroic resolve led to Lens' old superhero sidekick Twilight Bolt to join her cause, fighting alongside Vicki just as he he did with Lena.

• Powers: Ultra Ebon Void Conduit (Enhanced by Loyce), Celestial Transformation, Shadow Speed, Immense Agility, Instant Ebon Portal Teleportation, Superhuman Dexterity and Marksmanship, Invisibility, Expert Fighter
• Age: 19
• Species: Remnant Reincarnation
• Main Strengths: Detail oriented, pragmatic and problem solving mindset, highly intelligent and analytical. Possesses a reliable well rounded skill set that enables her to do a variety of missions from stealth, to reconnaissance, to assassination, and elimination. Considered the closest to the perfect Outer Shadow.
• Main Weaknesses: Occasionally memory lapses to her old life has made Vicki somewhat mentally unstable, possesses a heroic mindset which can sometimes clash with her mission prerogatives. Vicki also admitted that she has a smoking and drinking addiction.

Andrew Tengen: A S~ Ranked Warrior Class. Tengen was formerly the Hero of the Dual Cleavers, but eventually abandoned the title when the world he was destined to save achieved peace, rendering the skills and power he had amassed to save the world from the Demon Lord Frey unneeded. Unsatisfied with his mundane life as a job hunter, Tengen decided to join Loyce's army after learning that Frey had become tamed by the Superior Demon Lord, seeking powerful opponents to fight for the thrill of battle. Tengen is given the codename Tourmentus due to his ability to keep getting stronger and tougher the more his body sustains damage, and his endless days spent fighting in Loyce's Gladiator Ring to become stronger. Andrew is the least active member of Loyce's Shadow Force, only ever taking a mission if it involves fighting someone stronger than him. He is the self proclaimed rival of S+ Ranked Outer Shadow Shosuke Shiki. Andrew is obsessed with American Football due to it being a high contact strength based sport.

• Powers: Heroic Blessing, Physical Ability Escalation
• Age: 17
• Species: Isphixis Human - High Elf Hybrid
• Main Strengths: Extremely proficient combatant (one of the few Outer Shadows to be able to keep up with Shosuke Shiki's One Strike Kill style temporarily, until the Devil Monk increased his attack pressure and overwhelmed him), Theoretically infinite potential as Tengen continues fighting
• Main Weaknesses: Brash and reckless personality, extremely self centred and will only take action if it involves fighting someone stronger, poor team player

Formally Reporting to Loyce

Frey of the Furies

Demon Lord Frey of the Furies

"Who am I? My dear Frey, I am just like you. A Demon Lord. We are one and the same. You asked me why I chose to spare your life after I took your world, and the reason is because you have so much more to offer. You lost to the Hero of the Dual Cleavers, but if you are the same Demon Lord who ruled for millennia, who is to say that one single defeat is enough to take away that accomplishment? Stand with me, as my fellow Demon Lord. If you fall, then work your way back up. Prove to your followers that you are still the same Queen they looked up to for thousands of years. And I will walk by your side, as you take each step to regain your glory."

Freya Althuum is The Queen of the Furies, and the ruler of the skies. Initially an ordinary fury, Freya was taught by her parents that all humans were evil, and that to fight back the persecution of her people meant to go to war. However, one day, Freya witnessed a human male being assaulted and robbed by bandits. Saving the male, Freya got to know the other side of humanity, and the two fell in love as they spent more time together behind closed doors. However, the affair would not last long, as Freya's family discovered her relationship and had several furies attempt to drive Freya's lover away. In retaliation, the humans fought back, and the collateral of the war took the life of the human male. The sight of seeing the love of her life dead caused Freya to evolve into a Higher Fury, which allowed her to defeat the attackers who had killed the man she loved. Convinced that to save the humans who were like her lover, meant to kill "the corrupted", Freya took part in multiple wars with not just the Furies, but other monster brethren, amassing great power and moving up the ranks until she evolved into a Superior Fury, then a Supreme Fury. As Freya continued amassing power, so did her status as a warrior for the monsters, and soon the fury earned her position as a general to the Demon Lord Trellis. Freya would command her platoon of soldiers to fight the armies of mankind, until one fateful expedition led the fury back into the town where she had met her lover.

Stricken by grief, Freya sent the town into chaos, destroying the people's houses and incinerating everything with her magic. However, among those who burnt and suffocated from the smoke, Freya encountered the family of her lover. Moments from death, the father of the boy she had fallen for asked her if she still harboured hatred for them. Before Freya could respond, the father revealed that he had forgiven Freya and that if she wanted to do right for his son, that she would understand that hatred would only fuel more hurt and pain for those like her lover. Realizing that violence was not the answer to her grieving, Freya attempted to douse the flames, but due to her destructive power as a Supreme Fury, Freya watched in horror as the father died in her arms just like his son did. The pain of losing yet another loved one caused Freya to evolve once more into a Demon Fury, vowing to do right for her lover just as his father did. Freya then fought back against her own platoon, and challenged Trellis to battle, in which the two fought a vicious fight that lasted forty days. Trellis, recognizing Freya's relentless resolve, decided to forfeit his position as Demon Lord.

On the day Freya was proclaimed the Queen of all monsters, Freya abandoned her surname Althuum, and changed her name to Frey. Now established as a Demon Lord, Frey's first decree to her people was to avoid bloodshed and war, reasoning that while it was true humanity persecuted monster kind, there was also a side of humanity that accepted them, just like the man she had loved. Frey would then be known to her people as the Non Killing Demon Queen. Both her benevolence and strength was recognized and respected amongst all monsters in Isphixis.

Despite her best efforts at peace, the humans saw Demon Lord Frey differently. Feared by all in the realm, and according to legend, Frey was known for her ruthlessness and cruelty against those who opposed her. Frey's rule would come to an end when humanity summoned Andrew Tengen, the Hero of the Dual Cleavers. As a Hero, Andrew recognized Frey as a Demon Lord, and proclaimed war against her. Frey reasoned that her rule was to allow those who were pure like her lover to be happy, and those who would ruin that happiness would be the ones she would deem the enemy, and that she had no intention to do battle against humanity. However, against her wishes, Andrew decided to slaughter Frey's kind, then proceeded to fight Demon Lord Frey in a vicious battle, ultimately ending in her defeat.

Devastated by the deaths of her beloved companions, Frey cursed her weakness, blaming the deaths of not just her comrades, but also her lover on herself. Dropping the title of Demon Lord, Frey abandoned who she was and went into seclusion. However, this life of emptiness would soon end, when Demon Lord Loyce Hal invaded Isphixis. Frey watched in disbelief as Loyce easily defeated Andrew and all of humanity, then proceeded to challenge both mankind and monster kind to battle, defeating both nations singlehandedly.

Fallen Angel Erafil

Demon Lord Erafil and The Skysword

"I have torn heaven and hell asunder with my bare hands. Something that took you eons to do, I have accomplished in a mere two minutes. But I shall tell you this. Through all my conquests, there is one region of the vast field of worlds that I cannot come close to conquering. I believe that it is under the protection of one even stronger than I. No matter how much I have tried, my power, the same power that tore apart your world and thousands before it, is still eclipsed by this greater being. This... creator of mine. So merciful and kind to his creations, and to me, yet so wrathful should he choose to unleash his fury. And so I stand before you, Fallen Angel, to teach you this. One who cannot accept that there will always be someone greater is not fit to be a ruler. Whether you want to or not. Whether this lesson is painful or not. I will make you understand that, Demon Lord Erafil."

A S~ Ranked Swordsman Class. A Demon Lord who once conquered and ruled Raehafil. Erafil overthrew the heavens of his world and slaughtered all of the angels before being cast to the mortal realm as a fallen angel. Erafil ruled the realm with pride until Loyce discovered the realm, and defeated the Fallen Angel easily. Erafil now serves Loyce as a subordinate, much to his indignation. Erafil wields the Skysword, one of the strongest swords in existence due to its ability to slice entire planets in half. Erafil harbours a grudge against Outer Shadow Aaron Hope and his Auxiliary Shadow Bryce Jones for calling his Skysword a "heavenly wiener", and vows to kill the both of them even if it means his life is ended.

Leon Valentine

"You would go so far as to become a Demon Lord for the sake of one woman? How utterly foolish, Valentine. If everything you have done up to this point has been for another, then forget catching up to the Devil Monk, you will never be able to take a single step forward. Look at everything you have achieved, if this woman does not love you, does it mean everything you have done to become the man you are today is meaningless? I am not here to give you answers. But unless you learn to seek strength for yourself, and not define your whole identity for the sake of another, you don't even deserve to call yourself a Demon Lord, because you have already failed as a man."

An A+ Ranked Spellcaster Class. A Demon Lord who once served in a Council of Demon Lords in the realm of Johal, until eighteen of the twenty Demon Lords were slaughtered by Shosuke Shiki. Shocked by Shiki's tremendous strength, Valentine joined the Black Legion by accepting Loyce's offer in an attempt to become stronger and live up to his title as a Demon Lord.

Armies

Kingdom of Hal - Black Legion

The Kingdom of Hal is Loyce's main operating kingdom provided to him by Lord Ginga of the Black Legion. The Kingdom itself is home to Tourmentus, Fenrir, and Onyx, along with their Auxiliary Shadows. The Kingdom of Hal also possesses the main source of Loyce's Shadows.

Stationed in the Kingdom of Hal, are Demon Lord Frey's armies, which are comprised of higher demons, and furies. These furies are stationed in the throne room, recorded to house approximately 26 thousand Furies and 46 thousand Shadows.

Loyce's Kingdom of Isphixis

The Isphixian Nation of Hal possesses the armies of Demon Lord Frey at its fullest, now completely under Hal's control and command. The armies of Inoh are comprised of Frey's brethren, the Furies, Superior Demons that terrorized Isphixis until they were stopped by Andrew Tengen. In addition to the Furies, Inoh possesses Higher Demons who are tasked as soldiers who mainly specialize in aerial combat and magic.

Loyce's Kingdom of Raehafil

The heavenly soldiers of the Skyworld in Raehafil, which were either destroyed or forced to serve under Demon Lord Erafil, now serve Loyce, acting as his sentries in Raehafil. These winged warriors specialize in pure melee combat.

Loyce's Kingdom of Johal

Loyce's army, directly taken and amassed from Demon Lord Leon Valentine, is stationed in the Underworld, and are comprised of undead, which specializes in necromancy and overwhelming the enemy through sheer numbers. Though the soldiers of Valentine's army are not as powerful as Erafil or Frey's, their numbers are gargantuan, and possesses a wide breadth of weaponry, from sword and shield, to magecraft, to archery, and modern military munitions.
