Story

Battle of Honnou-ji

In the Sengoku era of the world of Sokoku, the Great Diviner, Abeno Seimei, had a premonition that a being would appear in the nation of Hinomaru with the power of the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven, threatening the entire realm. Centuries later, a warlord named Oda Nobunaga appeared and planned to become the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven. With an overwhelming military force, Hinomaru was quickly seized into hegemony. Oda was aided in his rise to power by his Four Heavenly Kings, as well as his wife, Princess No, and a Spirit Walker named Mori Ranmaru.

For the Demon King Ritual, Oda required a special sacrifice. Princess Sakuno was the first daughter of the Matsuyama clan and held an immense font of mana within her body. On Oda's orders, Ranmaru had Akechi Mitsuhide, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, kidnap Sakuno and wipe out the Matsuyama clan. Oda then brought Sakuno and his army to Honnou-ji, where he planned to perform the ritual that would grant him immortality and untold power.

Though he had followed Oda loyally in an effort to bring order to Hinomaru, Mitsuhide soon came to realize that Oda's ambitions to become the Demon King made him little more than a tyrant. He then secretly incited a rebellion against Oda, of which a united military force of Daimyos, composed of the great lords Mouri Motonari, Uesugi Kenshin, and Takeda Shingen, formed an alliance called the Sengoku Warriors and led their armies to Honnou-ji Temple in order to put an end to Oda’s ambitions.

At Honnou-ji Temple, a samurai named Hayato rushed in to save Sakuno and began to battle Oda. Though Oda easily managed to defeat him, a Spirit Walker named Kanna was able to destroy the altar being guarded by Ranmaru, causing Sakuno to awaken. She then disrupted the ritual as the link to the Demon Realm opened up, causing Honnou-ji Temple and entire swaths of Hinomaru to be teleported to Maple World. Though the ritual had been interrupted, the special mana inside Sakuno intermingled with that of Oda, allowing him to gain a portion of Sakuno's power.

An Unfamiliar World

In Maple World, both the Sengoku Warriors and the Oda army were crippled in power, as the physics and energies of the new land were quite different from Sokoku. The Oda army created a new base called Momijigahara on Zipangu while keeping Sakuno trapped inside Honnou-ji Temple. Niwa Nagahide, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, also created an army of robotic samurai in order to scout Zipangu.

Some time later, the Sengoku Warriors launched an operation to successfully rescue Sakuno from Oda's clutches. Meanwhile, Oda sent Mori Ranmaru and his Sprit Walkers on a mission to track down Akechi Mitsuhide, who had betrayed him and was seeking to spread chaos and confusion amongst the Oda army and the Sengoku Warriors. Eventually, Oda and his army abandoned Honnou-ji after absorbing all the spiritual power in the region and set out to create a new base, leaving Takigawa Kazumasu in charge of Honnou-ji. The Sengoku Warriors soon launched an attack on the temple, and though they defeated the Heavenly King, they were unable to learn where Oda had gone.

A New Path

Shortly after the battle at Skuas Fortress in the Abrup Basin, an Afinas Scholar named Alika had a vision of the Antellion, in which several figures appeared, including Sakuno, Oda, Planet Cerberus#Burke, and Naricain. Amidst their overlapping voices, Alika heard Oda say that he had found a new path to becoming the Demon King, and that he wouldn't fail again.

The Asura Crisis

After abandoning Honnou-ji, Oda and his forces moved to a new base created by Niwa Nagahide called Fort Asura, which was concealed using mana. Oda then sent his Sprit Walkers across Maple World in order to harvest large quantities of mana from monsters using makeshift shrines. He then had Nagahide create a special shrine atop the cliffside where Fort Asura stood, allowing the flow of mana to run unimpeded, and ordered him to kidnap Sakuno in order to conduct the Demon Ritual. Meanwhile, Akechi Mitsuhide disguised himself as a man named Kengo and helped the Sengoku Warriors find Fort Asura in order to stop Oda.

Meanwhile, Princess Sakuno secretly left Momijigaoka and headed to Fort Asura alone, intent on stopping Oda's ritual herself. Inside the fortress, Sakuno determinedly walked past the fighting soldiers, all of whom parted and cleared a path for her in shock of her unexpected appearance. She then reached the cliff where the ritual was being prepared and confronted Oda, who laughed and sarcastically gave his condolences for the death of her family, adding that they had died for a grander purpose than petty vengeance. Sakuno ignored his jibes and claimed that she had come to put an end to his ambitions once and for all. Oda laughed and asked whether she planned to do that alone, to which she told him that she was all that she needed. She revealed that it was thanks to him that she had discovered the vast power of the mana within herself, adding that she would use that power to stop him. However, Oda claimed that her abilities were too poor for her to count on her bloodline to save her. Sakuno then replied that it wasn’t her bloodline that would defeat her, but rather the boundless courage of the Sengoku Warriors, which bolstered her resolve.

Oda ordered her to surrender and shot a powerful wave of mana at Sakuno in an attempt to force her to kneel, though Sakuno manifested a barrier of mana around herself. Sakuno explained that she had been secretly training herself to wield her power since the day they had arrived in Maple World, as she refused to allow others to fight her battles. However, Oda laughed and revealed that the ritual she was hoping to stop had already been set into motion long ago, and that it had already slowly built to its halfway point, with her presence being the last thing that he needed to summon the Demon King into his body. Sakuno and Oda then engaged in a fierce battle, locked in a duel of mana blasts.

As the two continued battling, the Sengoku Warriors stormed the base and a traveler who had helped the Sengoku Warriors in the past rushed into the vortex created by the two mana blasts before it could kill both Sakuno and Oda. Though he was furious at the disrupted ritual, Oda realized that he had been severely injured by Sakuno's attack. Nagahide then convinced Oda to retreat. Oda begrudgingly heeded Nagahide's advice and fled, with half of the Demon King's power inside of him. Oda then began planning to conduct another ritual, and with the traveler having entered the vortex to save Sakuno, the special mana inside her had mixed with them, making them another target for Oda to use in order to create a link to the Demon Realm.
