Chereads / Wife of the Devil-God / Chapter 24 - Jesus' Sad Fate

Chapter 24 - Jesus' Sad Fate

There was a reason for these opposing sides of Lucifer, which is where he'd gotten the title 'Dual Demonic Devil-God'.

Lucifer had been born from Her and Elohim's first union—when She had been a god of another world.

From their passionate and almost obsessive union, a newborn god had been brought into the world.

Shortly after Lucifer was born, She had been dragged back to Her own world and the new family had been broken apart.

After Her death at the hands of a divine coup in Her world and eventual reincarnation into a cherry tree on Earth 3207, Elohim had been inconsolable.

He had descended to this other Earth's mortal realm and tenderly took care of and watched over Her new life as a tree. That life had only lasted a short thirty years, despite how Elohim had tossed aside all of his other responsibilities to remain at Her side to ensure She lived as long as possible.

Her next life had been as a human on Earth 17, which meant a relationship with Elohim was possible. Even still, no matter how Lucifer's father tried, he couldn't gain the affections of the one being in the world he loved with all his heart.

Lucifer, while slowly growing up over the course of 30,000 years, was roughly eight years old (mentally, emotionally, and physically) during the time his father was desperately chasing Her.

Lilith, actually, was the closest person to a 'mother' figure Lucifer had ever had in his life, while Metatron (Ronny) would probably be his 'father' figure.

Considering, you know, that Elohim was much too focused on Her rather than wondering what was going on in his own child's life.

Just because Elohim was a god didn't mean he was immune to the flaws of horrible parenting skills.

Or, really, any horrible life decisions, like the situation that happened next.

During Her three previous reincarnations, She had repeatedly scorned and rejected Elohim. So, in a short fit of madness and heartbreak, Elohim had come to (Her reincarnation at the time) Mary in a 'dream'.

As Mary, She had been born human and gave birth to a 'human' son.

Based on the Laws of Creation, demigods were not allowed to ascend to the Godly Realm of their world until after they reached adulthood.

What things had really boiled down to—Lilith had sardonically explained to Lucifer once he'd reached 'fourteen' (in human terms this would amount to just under fifty-two thousand years) —was that his father had raped Her after thirty thousand years of impatiently waiting for Her to be with him only to be rejected vehemently each and every time.

This grim and serious explanation had profoundly affected Lucifer, who was just beginning to go through puberty and noticing sexual urges.

He was so utterly disgusted with his father at that moment—long after everything that had happened to his little brother—that Lucifer had sworn off ever becoming a slave to his 'mating urges'.

Of course, that was when everyone still believed that Elohim and She might manage to bring one more child into the world. Unfortunately, that never came to be.

Honestly, with the violently passionate manner in which Elohim and Her relationship had started that had brought Lucifer into being, perhaps the two had been cursed.

It could have been a curse for bringing an illicit god into being, or perhaps it had been Fate that Elohim would not be able to gain much happiness in his long, long life.

Either or, after Jesus had been murdered at the hands of humanity, things had only continued to break apart and crumble.

Rubbing at an ache in his heart, Lucifer sighed quietly in pain. "Little brother," he murmured wearily. "You barely got to live at all," he shook his head in regret.

Unlike the stories told in the human Bible, Jesus had only reached ten years before being brutally tortured, molested, and crucified for being 'possessed by a Dark God'.

Having been 'eight' at the time himself, Lucifer hadn't been able to understand.

He was forbidden from directly interacting with his brother, but Elohim had granted him permission to visit his younger brother in dreams.

Excited to be able to act as an older brother, Lucifer had eagerly visited Jesus from infancy.

Elohim seemed barely concerned for his youngest, but he manipulated several events in order to please Mary about having a 'talented' son.

As a result, Jesus was perceived with awe, envy, distaste, and hate. Eventually, Jesus' words about his older brother being a young god that visited him often had spread throughout the small country of his birth.

Several 'tests' were administered after Jesus had been forcibly separated from his mother. These tests had boiled down to nothing more than torture and nightly sessions from lecherous old men 'wishing to witness the young god's visits'.

In the end, Lucifer was too young to understand why the humans were treating his little brother this way and Elohim was too concerned with Mary's devastation over her son being taken away to pay any mind to his youngest.

After nearly six months of this horrible situation, things came to a head when the vile men realized their 'plaything' was going to reveal their 'sins'.

In an attempt to hide the ugly truth, Jesus was declared 'the Avatar of a Dark God of Destruction and Death' and crucified for his crimes.

Lucifer had been horrified when he'd looked down and saw the state of his little brother's body, granting the humans of that country the very thing they'd punished Jesus over to hold back.

A violent storm of death and madness had nearly wiped the entirety of that country off the map, while Lucifer had been forced to be in confinement inside a pocket of the Abyss for six thousand years.

He'd broken the Laws of Creation and abused his power of godhood.
