Extinction Path

**The Extinction Path** is a special path unlocked from activating a Universal Reset and completing the True Path and the Outer Gods' Path. The main protagonist of this path is the Daemon Sultan. This path has no battles, this path is also non-canon.

## History

The Universe reborn, the Daemon Sultan once again goes down the inevitable path he had taken every time. The Daemon Sultan was behind the scenes, carefully pulling the strings. However, in this new Omniverse, Ouroboros would prove to be an even greater obstacle than he once was. Before, Ouroboros had been the puppet master and largely dormant manipulator of the masses. Now, thanks to the Goldsoul, he is the restless and dedicated protector of all universes. The Daemon Sultan made his move to sink the Norse due to Odin's knowledge. The Daemon Sultan broke through and sat down at the table.

Odin: "...Who are you? What are you doing here? I don't have any audiences with any people today, so explain why you've committed a crime as high as busting down a God's door!"

Daemon Sultan: "**I scheduled an audience a week ago. You declined, but I don't intend to take no for an answer, and I thought I told your messenger that. I take it you've not encountered anyone with actual persistence have you?**"

Odin: "You are right that I declined the audience, and that means that I intend to not have an audience with you. Now leave, for your safety, or I will have my son Thor use force."

Daemon Sultan: "**I don't intend to do so. I want a peaceful resolution for the problem, which is for you to keep quiet about the knowledge that we discussed. That's why I requested that audience, though if you don't intend to keep quiet...That's fine, I have no problem with silencing you eternally.**"

The Gods present broke into laughter.

Njord: "*You think with a physical build like that you can take any God? You're pretty funny! I don't think I see an ounce of muscle on that pile of skin and bones you call a body.*"

Odin: "Njord, SILENCE! I'll have you know I take threats like these VERY seriously...In other words...Thor."

Thor approached from behind and reared back his hammer.

Daemon Sultan: "**Before you swing that hammer...God of Thunder, I need to ask you a question. Are you sure you want to swing that hammer? I know you're one to think before you act, but I think you should consider that option now.**"

The Daemon Sultan suddenly appeared behind the God of Thunder.

Daemon Sultan: "**Now...I have faith you weren't actually going to swing that hammer, because if you did...I wouldn't have let it hit me.**"

Thor: "You dare disrespect me with your tricks?! I'll not tolerate such words or actions of disrespect!"

Thor swung his hammer.

Daemon Sultan: "**If heeding warnings is out of the question...Fine.**"

Before the hammer even touched the Daemon Sultan, it shattered.

Thor: "I-Impossible! The metal was said by the Dwarves to be unbreakable!"

Odin: "What do you want from me, Demon?! You burst through my door, ignore my answer, and disrespect my family and I? Why do you think you deserve an audience?"

Daemon Sultan: "**I merely wished for peaceful resolution, simply do not divulge what I have told you about the Lovecraftians and all would be fine. However, since you want to take the violent approach...It seems there is only one way to respond.**"

Hours had passed and the Daemon Sultan emerged from the doors covered in red. The Daemon Sultan returned to the Court.

Daemon Sultan: "**Crawling Chaos, with the Norse extinguished, we need to take another course of action to ensure our obscurity.**"

Nyarlathotep: "`**You are aware that means waging war with the Primordials, right?**`"

Daemon Sultan: "**Precisely. And that war will, in turn, draw out other beings like Ouroboros and the Avatars. However, it would seem that battling the Primordials is inevitable. I'm going to fight them to lure out the Avatars. One of those fools needs to be taken care of.**"

Nyarlathotep: "`**Dipluridis. Killing her will allow the Hyperboreans to possess control over the Erebus. I understand.**`"

Daemon Sultan: "**I'm scheduling a summit with the Kinship, I'll be there personally. However, as insurance, bring the Androgynouse One and the Gate and Key. They are my two strongest Eldritch. You may come if you wish, but I ask that you stay here for any potential ideas coming from the Kinship.**"

Nyarlathotep: "`**I see no reason to make any changes to a sound plan. You go ahead.**`"

The Kinship was waiting at the Assembly Table.

Izanagi: "Who exactly called for this summit? Why humor them in their request?"

Elysia: "The person insisted on peace. The Kinship can't be all about peace if we're refusing to oblige requests."

The Daemon Sultan, Yog-Sothoth, and Cxaxukluth emerged from the doors. The Daemon Sultan took his seat.

Daemon Sultan: "**I'm glad we could meet again...In this reset. I figure this summit is important for you though.**"

Elysia and the rest of the Kinship drew their weapons.

Elysia: "What the hell are you doing here?! You think the Kinship's forgotten your crimes and oppression?!"

Daemon Sultan: "**I'd sit down. This timeline is a bit different. You do not have the assistance of Chaos and so long as I am not the aggressor here...Ouroboros will not have any interest in helping you. With these two here and myself...You gentlemen will be put down trying to fight.**"

The Primordials withdrew their weapons and Elysia sat himself down.

Elysia: "Very well...Though we are enemies you are bound by Ouroboros's words. If you truly have no hostility, then I would state your business. And quickly. The Primordials here do not consider you one of them."

Daemon Sultan: "**My regard doesn't extend to the thoughts and considerations of beings weaker than myself, though I do find it amusing that you Kinship fools believe that any sensible person would align themselves with you. I have better things to do, like assisting in the Hyperborean war against the Erebus.**"

Elysia: "And why would you be doing that? You just said that being an aggressor would invoke Ouroboros's interference, did you not?"

Daemon Sultan: "**Naturally. Although he won't interfere if I send the Androgynous One and the Parter of Veils? That should be more than enough manpower, and as they are descendents of the Hyperboreans...Their involvement is justified.**"

Elysia: "...What on Earth are you planning? Why would you want the Erebus?"

Daemon Sultan: "**Let's not make assumptions. I never said I wanted the Erebus...However I do want Dipluridis dead. She simply has gotten away with oppressing the Hyperboreans for too long, don't you think?**"

Elysia: "You're not fooling me, you've been an oppressor for eons. You have no interest in stopping it, you want the Erebus under new management. Since you have descendents of Hyperboreans, you're going to use them to rule the Erebus by proxy, aren't you? That's why I asked why you wanted the Erebus, a question you continue to dodge!"

Daemon Sultan: "**I do believe I've not made it clear why I called this summit. Ouroboro's word states that he cannot interfere if beings of significant power--like yourselves--are unaware of my involvement. However, Ouroboros's pact also states that he can intervene in the event of the Kinship's, China's, or the Chaos Pantheon's destruction. You may come after me and stop me...However, Ouroboros will not be there to intervene. I will not crush your kingdom due to the words that Ouroboros has bound himself too...That doesn't mean your lives are safe however. All I need to do is make my intent clear to Primordials, not what lies beneath...**"

Elysia thought to himself: "*Damn...Why would he want to claim the Erebus? He already possesses half of it through Abhoth...That must mean that Dipluridis--or rather, the beings in power of the throne of the Erebus. The Kinship has to get to Dipluridis. We can't go now though. That would risk our intentions being found out by him.*"

The Daemon Sultan left, returning to the Court.

Abhoth: "Daemon Sultan, the plan is ready to commence at your order."

Daemon Sultan: "**It's time to wipe the Grey Weavers off the face of the Erebus once and for all.**"

The Kinship turned to Amygyrus for questions.

Elysia: "Please Amygyrus, we need to know why the Daemon Sultan would be interested in taking over the entire Erebus. What would he get from that?"

Amygyrus: "...*I have a feeling he may be after the 2nd half of the Hyperborean key. Dipluridis took the other half of the key to make sure the Hyperborean bridge wasn't fully functional when she took power. If the Bridge of Archetypes becomes fully functional...Then several new methods of escape, attack, and entry have been created to any known place in the Omniverse.*"

Elysia: "Oh no. We have to go and save Dipluridis now! If she dies, it could be serious trouble for the rest of the Omniverse!"

Amygyrus: "*Agreed. I'll have to retrieve A'lain as well to help. I'm sure he'll be quite eager to fight his comrades again.*"

Elysia arrived at the Erebus to a site of corpses everywhere. It was the wake of the Eldritch. Further, they could hear loud explosions.

They arrived. The Daemon Sultan had slain the Grey Guards and stood in front of Dipluridis.

Daemon Sultan: "**Are you so scared to fight that you would have your underlings fight me instead? Even in spite of your power, Pillar...Elysia. I figured you come. That's why I went after the Erebus, had you think I was after the key for the Bridge.**"

Elysia: "What?! You planned to lure us here from the beginning?!"

Daemon Sultan: "**You must've forgotten...I have the Parter of Veils. His power serves as an equivalent to the fully functional bridge. I am well aware of how other perceive me, one whose actions always have an ulterior motive. So naturally, I created a false one. Now...you can play with the Kinship and Elysia? I will crush your skull with two of my fingers.**"
