The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)

[Shitori Mansion, Kuoh Town] 

Yachiru Unohana followed the members of Sona's Peerage members as they led her to the training area. Yachiru Unohana was slightly impressed with the training area, it was an underground area under the mansion. 

According to Sona Sitri, Ajuka Beelzebub had created this training area. Obviously, Serafall Leviathan was involved as she was a massive sis-con. Yachiru had decided to train Sona's Peerage because she was kind of bored and she had taken a liking to Sona's Peerage. 

"We are here" Tsubaki Shinra said and Yachiru nodded her head politely. 

"Good… now all of you attack me" Yachiru said in a kind tone, confusing Sona and her Peerage. Everyone immediately turned towards Sona who gave a small nod of her head. 

"Can we have a minute to prepare a strategy?" Sona questioned and Yachiru simply tilted her head. 

"Your enemy is not going to give you a minute to make a strategy… Now, attack me or I am going to you" Yachiru said with a kind smile but Sona was pretty sure that even the original Satan would have shuddered in fear. 

Seeing no other way around it… Sona signalled her Queen. Tsubaki subtly nodded her head and a naginata appeared in her head. Tomoe Meguri, Sona's Knight, also pulled out her sword. At the same time, two Magic Circles appeared in the hands of Momo Hanakai and Reya Kusaka. A small black gauntlet also appeared on the back of Genshirou Saji's hand. 

Momo Hanakai and Reya Kusaka were the first ones to attack Yachiru. Yachiru simply stepped aside to dodge the attacks, but Tsubasa Yura was already expecting that as the girl attacked Yachiru with her bare hands. Tsubasa Yura was a rook, so she was known for her physical strength. 

Yachiru easily parried the punches and kicks without any effort. Tsubasa Yura started to get frustrated as her attacks didn't even faze the woman. This is what Yachiru was waiting for, Tsubasa attacked Yachiru, but she grabbed the woman's wrist and yanked the younger girl towards her. 

Tsubasa understood her mistake but it was already too late for her as Yachiru's fist slammed into her gut, blowing the wind out of her lungs. Yachiru noticed the Knight approaching so she quickly jabbed a few pressure points on Tsubasa's arm. Tsubasa felt like her arm was being dipped inside a flask of molten metal. 

"Kyaaah!!" Tsubasa screamed and Unohana let her go as Tomoe Meguri was already in front of her. Tsubasa grabbed her arm and dropped to her knees while clutching her arm. Moments later, the pain disappeared but couldn't sense her hand anymore, this horrified her. 

Yachiru simply struck Tomoe Meguri's hand with a lot of power, making the girl drop her sword. Tomoe Meguri's eyes grew wide in shock… she couldn't believe how easily Yachiru disarmed her. Yachiru grabbed the young girl's shirt and pulled her in front of her. This surprised Tomoe but before she could do anything, two attacks landed on her back. 

"Tomoe!!!" Tomoe heard someone calling her before her world went completely black. 

"Despicable!" Genshirou Saji said as he attacked Yachiru with some sort of rope. Yachiru simply grabbed the rope and a grin appeared on Saji's face. 

"Absorption Line!!" Genshirou Saji exclaimed loudly but he couldn't celebrate as he was flung towards Reya Kusaka and Momo Hanakai. The two girls couldn't even react before Saji landed on the two of them, knocking out the three of them. 

"El Escudo" Yachiru mumbled and a green shield appeared in front of her, moments later, a huge water attack crashed on the shield. 

Both Sona and Tsubaki were shocked to the core when they saw how easily Yachiru demolished everyone. It happened so quickly that neither of them were able to act… they knew Yachiru was insanely strong but they didn't expect the difference to be so huge. 

This was the first time Yachiru used any sort of power and she used it to defend herself. Yachiru demolished her Peerage members with pure skill and experience… This was a hard pill to swallow and Yachiru wasn't even in her evil mode. Yachiru lowered her hand and disappeared, surprising both Tsubaki and Sona. 

"Agghhh!!" Tsubaki Shinra screamed as she felt several blows land on her back. Tsubaki dropped to the ground like a sack of potatoes, the girl found that she could no longer control her body… she couldn't even feel her body anymore. 

Yachiru didn't say anything as she simply started to walk towards Sona. The bespectacled girl attacked the woman but it was clear that Sona couldn't use her attacks properly due to the chaos in her mind. The mind has been rattled due to the crushing defeats. All of Sona's attacks passed by Yachiru as the woman kept approaching Sona. 

Two leathery bat wings appeared behind Sona as she prepared herself to make some distance but Yachiru appeared in front of her face before she could even blink. Moments later, a huge impact rattled Sona's bones and organs as the girl dropped to her knees and started to cough. 

Sona was on four as she started to gasp for air… her eyes were diluted due to the pain… moments later, Sona couldn't keep up anymore and she passed out and she didn't know anymore…

A groan escaped Sona's lips as she finally regained her consciousness. Her whole body felt sore. She slowly opened her eyes only to find the familiar roof of her training area. "Kaichou!" Sona heard Tsubaki's voice from beside her as the other girl helped Sona to get up. 

Sona got up and found Yachiru Unohana sitting in front of them while sipping tea with a peaceful look on her face. The woman still had her gentle and kind smile on her face. Sona wanted to say something but she couldn't find the right words. 

"How are you feeling? I was quite careful" Sona heard Yachiru Unohana's kind voice. No matter how much Sona wanted to complain, she simply couldn't. 

"All of you are weak" Yachiru said after a small pause. Sona and her Peerage members looked down in shame. It was true, the woman defeated them like it was child's play. 

"It is to be expected, all of you are extremely young and all you have grown up in a peaceful world…" Yachiru said as she placed her teacup down on the ground. "Now that I know what all of you are capable of and what your weaknesses are… I can start training all of you" Yachiru said in a kind tone. 

"I might break you a few times but you have nothing to worry about, I am an extremely good healer, no matter how badly I break you, I am confident that I will be able to fix you" Yachiru said in a confident tone and everyone including Sona gulped in fear after hearing Yachiru's words. 

"For the next two months, I will be training all of you… I will not be able to train your Scared Gears or whatever they are as I don't know much about them but I will be helping all of you on other aspects" Yachiru said and Sona and her Peerage members nodded their heads in understanding. 

"We will be in your care!" Sona said as she gratefully bowed her head. She was pretty sure that the next two months were going to be literally hell for them but it was fine… she and her Peerage members were going to become stronger. 

Getting stronger is more important right now… Sona wondered if Hela would fulfil her wish if she successfully claimed victory in the tournament… 

[Grigori, Underworld] 

Vali clenched his fists tightly as she stared down at his hands. The memories of being wracked effortlessly kept playing inside his mind. He still couldn't believe that all of his training until this point was completely meaningless in front of the woman. 

"How are you feeling, Vali?" Azazel questioned softly as he placed a bag filled with various types of fruits on the table. Vali was so busy with his thoughts that he didn't even notice Azazel's arrival. 

"I was beaten into a pulp… I feel fantastic!" Vali said sarcastically and rolled his eyes in annoyance. 

Azazel didn't seem to react to Vali's sarcasm. "I guess a beatdown was necessary. So, did you finally understand the gap between yourself and Lady Hela?" Azazel asked and Vali glared at the man. 

"Ohh… don't be like that. Did it hurt your pride? Maybe this will teach you that you should listen to the ones who know better than you" Azazel pointed out and Vali's glare intensified. 

"I will defeat her" Vali said in a determined tone while he gritted his teeth and Azazel burst out laughing. 

"Dreaming is good… but there is a thing about dreams, they never come true. Grow up, Vali. The world doesn't revolve around you" Azazel said coldly and for the first time, Vali was slightly taken aback by Azazel's tone. 

"Do you have any idea why I surrendered to that woman?" Azazel questioned and Vali decided to remain silent. 

"I decided to surrender because I knew that I couldn't win. She took over the Devils using brute force… Do you know what that means? Even two Super Devils couldn't defeat her… you thought you could?" Azazel questioned in a mocking tone. 

"...I simply wanted to make her respect my power" Vali whispered in a low tone but Azazel clearly heard him and once again he scoffed. 

"Good luck with that" Azazel said and waved him off. Before either of them could continue a communication circle appeared in front of Azazel. The man accepted the call and Hela's face appeared in the form of a hologram. 

"Azazel… what can you tell me about Heaven?" Hela questioned without bothering to greet either Azazel or Vali…
