When a God of Destruction Was Reincarnated in Tensura:

As the seal holding Artemis began to weaken, the ripples of his power started slipping through the cracks, spilling into the cardinal world. Though faint, these echoes of his presence were enough to disrupt the natural order.

The skies darkened unpredictably, even in the middle of the day. Violent winds swept through vast landscapes, uprooting trees and scattering debris. In some regions, torrential rains poured relentlessly, flooding villages and cities, while other areas experienced unnatural droughts, their rivers and lakes drying up overnight.

Storms raged with ferocity unlike anything ever recorded, their lightning bolts streaking across the heavens in colors of crimson and violet. These storms were not ordinary—they bore the taint of chaos, striking fear into the hearts of even the bravest souls.

The very earth itself seemed restless, quaking intermittently in random places. Mountains trembled, valleys cracked, and fissures opened up in barren lands, spewing ominous black mist. The wildlife acted erratically, with animals fleeing en masse or becoming unusually aggressive, attacking anything in sight.

In Tempest, Rimuru stood atop a hill, gazing at the unsettling changes in the environment. He could feel it—an ominous, chaotic energy threading through the air. It was faint yet suffocating, like a harbinger of something far worse. Luna, ever vigilant within Rimuru's mind, echoed his concerns.

"Master, the disturbances are not natural. The essence of Artemis Valtheron is leaking into this world. His power is influencing the environment, destabilizing it," Luna explained.

Rimuru frowned. "So even his weakened presence can cause this much chaos... It's a sign that the seal is almost gone."

In other regions, the Demon Lords and leaders of various nations were also taking notice. Guy Crimson watched the eerie crimson lightning split the skies from his castle. His lips curled into a smirk. "So, the Sovereign of Ruin stirs... The game is about to begin."

In Luminous's domain, the citizens prayed fervently as unnatural auroras painted the sky in shades of blood red. Luminous stood on her cathedral balcony, her expression grim. "This is no divine intervention. It's destruction itself reaching out."

Even Milim, known for her carefree attitude, felt the unease. She paced her throne room, fists clenched. "This isn't normal. Artemis is definitely about to make his move."

Across the cardinal world, fear spread like wildfire. The leaders of nations scrambled to calm their people, but even they could not hide their growing dread. The ominous weather patterns and environmental upheaval were merely a prelude, a warning of the chaos to come.

And somewhere deep in the void, Artemis smiled, sensing the unease spreading through the mortal realm. "Good," he murmured, his crimson eyes glowing faintly. "Let the fear take root. Let them know despair before they even see me."

In the tranquil expanse of his realm, Beerus reclined lazily on his grand throne, surrounded by his wives who pampered him with delicacies and conversation. His sharp golden eyes twinkled with amusement as he observed the chaos unfolding in the cardinal world. The faint smirk on his face betrayed his enjoyment of the unfolding events.

Suddenly, a portal of shimmering energy opened, and Feldway, Zalario, and Zelanus stepped through. The three figures, exuding power and reverence, immediately dropped to one knee before the God of Destruction.

"Lord Beerus," Feldway began, his tone steady but tinged with curiosity. "We could not help but notice the disturbances rippling across the cardinal world. What is happening? Should we be concerned?"

Zalario, her voice soft yet firm, added, "The balance of existence feels… unstable. Is it the work of an ancient force?"

Zelanus, ever vigilant, cast a quick glance upward as if sensing the chaos through the very fabric of existence. "If there's something threatening the equilibrium, should we intervene?"

Beerus let out a soft chuckle, setting aside a goblet filled with the finest nectar. "Artemis Valtheron," he said, his voice carrying a casual weight that made the trio stiffen. "The Sovereign of Ruin. A being Veldanava sealed long ago, and for good reason."

Feldway's crimson eyes widened in shock. "Artemis…?" He hesitated, disbelief in his voice. "But I was Veldanava's right hand. I knew of no such being. How could he have kept this from me?"

Beerus leaned back with a knowing grin. "Veldanava wasn't the type to share all his secrets, Feldway. Artemis is… different. A twisted embodiment of destruction, born alongside Veldanava as a cosmic counterbalance. He was sealed because Veldanava deemed him too dangerous."

The room fell silent as the gravity of Beerus's words sank in.

Zalario, her expression grave, spoke next. "If the seal is weakening, should we not act? The mortals in the cardinal world are ill-prepared for such an adversary."

Zelanus nodded in agreement. "Indeed. Even with the Demon Lords, Artemis's power is beyond what they can comprehend. Should we intervene now?"

Beerus closed his eyes, appearing to contemplate their words. After a few moments, he opened them again, the sharp intensity in his gaze signaling his decision. "You're right. The mortals will need assistance. Artemis's power is no trivial thing, and his minions alone could bring ruin. Go to the cardinal world. Aid them in their preparations, but do not interfere directly unless absolutely necessary. Let them struggle. Let them grow. If they can't rise to the challenge, then they're not worth saving."

The trio exchanged glances before bowing deeply. "As you command, Lord Beerus," Feldway said, his voice resolute.

"Do not fail me," Beerus said with a faint smirk. "And remember—I'll be watching."

With that, Feldway, Zalario, and Zelanus vanished in a flash of energy, leaving Beerus to return to his throne. He picked up his goblet once more, swirling its contents leisurely as his wives watched him with quiet amusement.

"Mortals," he mused to himself, "so fragile, yet so amusing. Let's see if they're capable of entertaining me this time." His laughter echoed through the realm, a chilling sound that hinted at the trials yet to come.
