Darkai

""We, the Shadow Lords, shall revert ALL back to darkness, set the clock straight to zero. No light, no protectors, only an eternal abyss that we rule.""

- -Darkai

Past: Darkai, formerly known as Rei'kai, was The Maelstrom's God of the Afterlife. His responsibility was to guide the souls of the dead to either an eternal paradise or a hellish abyss, depending on how good or bad they were in the real life. However, upon Apocalypse's creation, he sought out to kill the dragon. As a result, Rei'kai was slain, reincarnating as a being of destruction.

Now: Darkai has been reduced to nothing but pure darkness. He and the other 2 Shadow Lords, Iskar and his brother Creosi, have existed as long as The Maelstom, being the only forces in the cosmos after The Maelstrom shut down, that is until the light came along. When Earth's light was created for the very first time, Darkai was the most disgusted; he wanted to end it and plunge the world God created back into the dark.

After his death at the hands of Anti and Terra, he was revived thanks to his right-hand man Shade. Upon his revival, Darkai made some serious alterations to his scythe that better suited his pursuit of destruction: The enhanced "Scythe of the Unmaker", which now contained the captured Kyūkyoku in the inside.

Personality/Facts
Rei'kai was a rather silent and reserved man who put his job before all else. Emotionless and bleak, Rei'kai sees himself as the embodiment of death, nothing more, nothing less. Because of this, the gods hardly interact with him, since he's somewhat cold and humorless.

As Darkai, he is a dangerous and very cunning being whose #1 desire is to end all creation and force everything back to darkness where only he can rule, like how it should always be. He'll stop at nothing to achieve his goal, showing no remorse for any of his actions. To him, gods and all other forces are mere fools. He sees the destruction of all worlds, mankind especially, as a form of salvation: Their God does nothing, humans are at constant war with one another, and all creation should've never came to be; Darkai saw devastation as the only path to peace.

Powers

 * Void Manipulation - Darkai is the Shadow Lord of Void, meaning he has ultimate control over dark forces, spatial control, and even black hole conjuration. Darkai can use void as a physical force to create living entities, as demonstrated when his monsters attacked planets like Earth first, or attack targets with concussive force. Void control is all about convergence and repulsion, allowing Darkai to force all known matter to a single spot or blast them apart altogether.
 * Dark End - Darkai coats his entire fist in Void Power and launches it as a larger projectile at high speed. Upon impact, the explosion will then turn into a temporary void that pulls in anything within the blast radius.
 * Deadly Grip - Darkai can summon a large pair of Void energy-generated clawed hands. They grab and constrict any of Darkai's targets, preventing them from moving most of their body. It can also be used to just grab any larger object and throw them across vast distances.
 * Destructive Wave - Darkai generates a massive black and red wave of Void energy in front of him that rips apart anything in a long and wide path.

Weaknesses

 * None

Equipment

 * Scythe Mastery - His main weapon of choice is a scythe, having shown extensive use and mastery in this weapon during his short-lived battled against Apocalypse and his time on Earth. Darkai can get quite creative with how he executes attacks, allowing him to combat several people at once. After his resurrection, his scythe entraps Kyūkyoku inside, the Maelstrom's God of Reality. This gave his new Scythe of the Unmaker its massive reality-altering abilities.
 * Scythe Cyclone - Darkai brings the Scythe of the Unmaker over head and super-sizes it, making it spin rapidly with one hand. The scythe takes up a good 5 meter radius, constantly damaging anything or anyone inside its range.
 * Shred Chaser - This time, the scythe splits up into smaller lesser copies of itself suspended in mid-air. They spin and take aim at Darkai's target, and they move in a straight path at instant speeds.
 * End Of All Creation - Only when the Scythe of the Unmaker is powered up to 100% can Darkai wipe out all known life in the universe as an entirety across all dimensions, realms, timelines, everything, until all that remains is him and the darkness.
