Demon of Hatred

The Demon of Hatred's face.

The Demon of Hatred was a High Tier Demon who, as his name suggests, embodied the emotion of hate. This encompasses all forms of hate, including but not limited to anger, rage, resentment, disgust, and jealousy.

During his existence, he was one of the most powerful demons Shetoq had, his power strong enough to rival those of the ***Upper Six***. He was a powerful ally of the ***Demon of War***.

He was involved in the first Shetoq invasion of Jalook, during which he clashed with ***Nerovana***. Despite Nerovana being in altered, more powerful forms, they could not best the Demon of Hatred and were forced to retreat. He made a brief appearance when the Demon of War appeared at the Church of Rho Aias. His final appearance was in Concord, after a demon invasion had captured the entire populace of the city. There, he fought Nerovana once more, and despite dealing severe damage to them, he was ultimately bested and killed.

## Appearance

The Demon of Hatred's appearance was semi-human when it came to the body, consisting of a very muscular build, with ashy white skin and black patches of flesh. Beyond this, though, it becomes much more clear he is not human. His face reminisces fungus, an odd almost 'armor' like plate covers the upper half of his face, which is the cause of his distinct lack of a nose or eyes. The lower part of his face looks almost like it was stitched to the upper half, very distinctly made of a different material from the hard plating on his upper-face despite being the same color.

His clothing consisted of only a simple brown loincloth.

## Personality

The Demon of Hatred did not show much personality, not talking despite being able to. His only 'personality' per say was his aggressive fighting style. It can be assumed he was often enraged due to his status as the Demon of Hatred.

## Abilities

**Overall Skill Level:** The Demon of Hatred possessed incredible skill, able to fight off Hector Valorion, Remus Arthur, Polank Turnf, and Jesse Nazreth at once without seemingly much struggle. As a testament to his skill in combat, he was stated to be equal to the higher level of the Upper Six, a group of six incredibly powerful Upper Tier Demons, closest to becoming Fiends.

He primarily focused on close hand-to-hand combat, using his incredibly strong body to overwhelm his opponent with deadly attacks that would kill the average human in a single blow. His skill in hand-to-hand exceeded every member of Nerovana, who only managed to defeat him thanks to the numerous abilities & weapons they possessed. If it had been hand-to-hand combat only, he would have easily defeated them.

**Supernatural Strength:** Hatred's strength was of some of the highest Nerovana have ever faced in battle up to their fight against him. With his strength, he was capable of effortlessly obliterating buildings with held-back punches. If he were to go all out, he could most likely destroy mountains with punches, and even more in a boosted state. His strength was sufficient enough to hit Hector so hard it destroyed his Ice Armor, which is notoriously powerful, often used as his main method of defense.

With his immense strength, he could feasibly destroy a normal person with a single blow, meaning most humans and other creatures don't stand a chance against him without methods of protection.

**Supernatural Speed:** His speed enabled him to blitz the members of Nerovana, who were each incredibly fast in their own right. He was capable of keeping up with a boosted Remus Arthur (albeit in the past), whose speed was fast enough to fly between two continents in moments, as well as present Remus Arthur, who has approached near the speed of light before. He was able to attack with a flurry of blows, punching four times in a single moment, as well as being able to move up to 120 ft in an incredibly quick amount of time. This made him faster than normal Remus Arthur in terms of foot speed, and faster than Hector Valorion in combat speed, even while boosted by Overclock.

**Supernatural Durability:** One of the toughest foes fought by Nerovana so far, he was able to take simultaneous attacks from all four of the present members, and attacks from the familiars of the members without showing much signs of damage. He could take building level blows from the boosted members of Nerovana, including Nero Mumei who had returned to his previous strength as Durian Arelai, albeit momentarily. His durability was so great that he survived the majority of attacks sent his way during their final fight, only taken down thanks to the abundance of radiant energy that was ripping into his demonic flesh.

**Rage Empowerment:** The Demon of Hatred was shown to get stronger the angrier he got, and stronger the more his opponent hated him. His physical attributes became vastly more powerful the more angry he was. As the Demon of Hatred, he also gained power from the general emotion of hatred felt by everyone around the world, as well as the fear of being hated. While his title was the Demon of Hatred, he also seemed to gain power from the emotion of anger in general.

**Physical Mirage Creation:** An ability reminiscent of an innate spiritual technique. He was able to create 'mirages' with actual physical being in the world of parts of his body. This ability could be used in a variety of ways, but was most often used to create mirages of his limbs, primarily his arms to strike his opponents from a distance. He could notably 'fire' these mirages like projectiles at his target, often firing off fists by rapidly punching towards his target. This ability could also be applied to the whole body, enabling Hatred to 'separate' into two of himself, one being a clone, the other being the original body. The cloned Hatred, as a mirage, could be destroyed by a sufficiently strong enough blow, but also destroyed itself by attacking. Even then, the 'clone' was able to dish out similarly powerful attacks, equal to those of Hatred's strength.

**Self-Explosion Ability:** Through an unknown ability, Hatred was able to explode his body after death. The body swelled up with eldritch, demonic energy, which then exploded out of the vessel, obliterating anything in an 800-ft radius. This ability was used to attempt to kill Nerovana after his death, but they managed to flee. The empty city of Concord, which had been surprisingly emptied of all residents via unknown means, was wiped off of the map, leaving no remnants of it's existence besides some rubble from a building which was protected from the initial explosion by the spell.

### Weaknesses

As a Demon, Hatred was weak to radiant energy, as most of his species are. Besides this, he had almost no other weaknesses.
