"So that's how it is? Roswaisa has been a puppet to you from the start?" Danny scowls at her as he asks that.
"Well, she could have been. But I let her have free will. So, everything up until now, that has been the real Roswaisa. Now though, she is my puppet." Dues answers while calmly smiling.
"Tsk!" Danny clicks his tongue and tries to stop Roswaisa, but Trevor holds his arm and stops him.
"There's no point to it, Danny. You can't stop her." He tells Danny.
Well, as hard as it may be, it is the truth. There is no stopping it anymore.
"I had originally thought that I would wait for Roswaisa to be called back to heaven and then appear back in 2020 alive." Dues says, "But I have changed my mind. I'll fulfill the deed right now. So now then, I would be taking her with me."
And with that, Dues turns around and starts walking out of the throne room. Roswaisa, emotionlessly, follows her.

"You failed?" I ask, somehow not surprised.
"Yes, I am sorry. I …" Rain, who stands in front of me, is bowing in apology as she says so, "It was too late by the time we figured everything out."
"Hmm … well, I guess that's that." I say and pat her on the head once as a signal to stop bowing.
She, surprised, looks at me and asks, "You are not angry. I mean, we let the whole Demon race down and-"
"It's not your fault." I say. "Seeing through Dues' plans was my responsibility. I was too slow. In anyone is to blame for what's about to happen, it's me."
"That's not true, Lucifer." Rain says with teary eyes, "You can't take the whole blame on yourself. That is far too cruel."
"I'm not trying to act like a martyr here." I say, "It just happens to be the truth. Anyway,"
Before she can retort, I change the subject as I look in all directions and, upon not finding who I was trying to find, ask, "Where is Azazel?"
"He said he'd on the Summit of Hell." Rain answers. "It seemed like he plans to stay there for what little time we all have left."
"Does sound like him." I say. "And, what about those two humans, Grey and Jessica?"
"They are on Earth, away from harm's way."
"Hmm … good." I remark and sit on a chair as I say with a sad smile, "I guess the end in really nigh."

"Are you ready, my dear!?" I ask my puppet Angel. She just nods.
"Alright then, let's get this started." I raise my hand towards her, "Touch my hand and start absorbing mana from it."
She nods again and does as I tell her to. Oceans of mana flows from my hand into her body. This much mana could easily destroy an entire galaxy if used in an efficient way. And I am giving all this power into her hands, just to make her use Absolute Frost Requiem and counter it all back to the Demon race.
As for how I will specifically kill the Demons and no other race in Hell, I won't go killing every Demon one-by-one. All I'll have to make Roswaisa do is invade the core structure of the world and remove the components that are needed by Demons to live. That is what it means to wipe out their existence once and for all.
"Looks like you have enough now." I say as I pull my hand back, stopping more mana from transferring to her body. If she uses too much mana at once, we might have problems in the next task of wiping all the Angels out, which obviously is just as grand a task as wiping the Demons.
"Okay then, Roswaisa, now you need to do just as I tell you to. Okay?"
She nods.
And with that, my plan fast reaches its conclusive moments.
*****
There are four people left in the throne room now. Kaylith has died and Roswaisa has gone away following Dues. And soon, Priscina's AI will vanish from existence as well.
Then, with Dues' plan succeeding, death will come to Trevor.
So, in a while from now, only I and Danny will be left here.
Nothing that anyone can say or do will stop this result from happening. It's inevitable.
"Tsk!" Danny clicks his tongue. What else can he do? What else can any of us do? We are standing here waiting for this whole apocalypse of a situation to happen, knowing we play a big part in making it happen. So, this is what loss truly feels like, huh?
This is what it means to lose something. And this is also what it means to lose everything.
"About time I guess." Priscina says as her body finally starts visibly disappearing.
"Well, Irium and his friend," She says with a smile as she looks at her disappearing limbs, "I hope to NOT see you again soon."
Ha! Is that so?
"Yeah, of course, it will take at least a million or so years before I die, so you won't be seeing me again soon." I say in a joking voice.
"Whatever you say!" She says just as her face starts disappearing. And without another word said, she disappears completely.
And immediately after that, Trevor falls to his knees and coughs up blood.
"Hey, are you okay?" Danny asks.
"No, I'm certainly not." Trevor says with a smile, "So Dues' grand plan to wipe the Angel race was to kill the micronutrients that only Angels need for survival. I'm guessing she would have already done so with Demons."
"You … mean to say that … Demons are already dead?" Danny asks, unwilling to believe it.
"Yes, I suppose. Did you expect some kind of notification about that to come your way?" Trevor says sarcastically, but is unable to keep his smile because the coughing gets worse.
"That bitch!" Danny says, "Not only are all the Angels and Demon dying, they are dying like this!?"
Yeah, and that bitch who is making this all happen will now become 'god' of this world.
