Clore's Dark Devil Form – A New Nightmare Begins
As the battle raged on, Clore suddenly stopped moving.
His dark aura flickered for a moment.
Then—
BOOM!
His body erupted in black flames.
His eyes turned crimson, and his dark energy intensified beyond anything seen before.
A twisted grin spread across his face.
Clore (laughing): "Did you really think you could defeat me? I've been holding back."
His power skyrocketed.
His new Dark Devil Form was born.
His strength, speed, and aura surged to low multiversal level.
Gray (breathing heavily): "…This power…"
Before Gray could react—
Clore disappeared.
Then—
A brutal punch to Gray's stomach!
BOOM!
Gray coughed up blood as he was sent flying through multiple mountains.

Team Lightning Falls – Clore Stands Supreme
One by one, the Immortals tried to stop him.
Lisa and Lyra unleashed their strongest angelic blasts.
Bolt, Brock, Misty, and Flair used their combined elemental attacks.
But it was useless.
Clore smirked.
Clore (mocking): "Pathetic. You're all weaklings."
He raised his hand, gathering a massive sphere of dark energy.
Then—
BOOM!
A shockwave blasted everyone away, knocking them all unconscious.
Oak (in shock): "Impossible… Clore's power has surpassed expectations."
Gray, bruised and bleeding, stood back up.
But before he could react—
Clore appeared above him and delivered a devastating kick.
Gray was sent flying into the sky.
Then, Clore followed up with a powerful energy blast, engulfing Gray completely.
BOOOOM!!!
Gray's body fell from the sky, smoke rising from his wounds.
Clore laughed.
Clore (grinning): "And just like that… the strongest Immortal falls."
Everyone watched in horror.

Gray's Memories – The Awakening
As Gray fell, he saw his life flash before his eyes.
He remembered…
His childhood.
His family.
His friends.
His grandfather's teachings.
L's words: "Power doesn't come from rage. It comes from within."
Then, suddenly—
Gray's eyes snapped open.
He stopped falling.
Instead, he landed on his feet.
Clore (shocked): "…What?!"
The ground beneath Gray shattered.
A new energy surged through his body.
His Destroyer Form and Self-Instinct fused together.
His aura turned into a blazing mix of red, purple, and white energy.
Gray had created a new form—
Destroyer's Instinct.

The Battlefield Reacts – L Arrives
Lisa (whispering): "…Gray… did it…"
Lyra (smiling weakly): "He's still standing…"
Oak (relieved): "…So you finally did it, Gray."
Even Clore, though shocked, grinned.
Clore (smirking): "Good. Show me what you can really do."
Just as their second battle was about to begin—
A golden aura flickered in the distance.
Someone else had arrived.
It was L.
L (watching from above): "…So this is how it turns out."
His golden-brown eyes locked onto Clore.
But he didn't interfere.
L (smiling slightly): "This is still Gray's battle."

Giovanni Approaches – A Greater Threat Looms
Far in deep space…
A massive dark portal opened.
A figure stepped through.
It was Giovanni.
His crimson aura burned like an inferno.
He watched his son from afar and smirked.
Giovanni: "It's time for my revenge."
With a single step, he vanished—heading straight for Earth.

It was only just beginning.
