Blood whipped over my cheeks, driving my spear through a Devil's throat, as he shouted lucifers name. Pleading for power that had already been granted, I groaned, popping his head off his body, devouring his still-warm body.
A cold sweat trickled down my cheeks, landing on the large wound stretched over my chest. Spewing blood, I felt my heart hammer against my chest as I gazed over the battlefield.
It had been six days, and Lilith and I had progressed quite far, but with all these damn demons and devils carrying blessings, wounds were slowly beginning to gather, and unlike before, they required time to heal.
"ARSENE!!!!" Lilith screamed as her back crashed into mine; she smiled, "Demonic Qi is gathering once again. Why the hell aren't you breaking through?"
Grunting as my spear danced like an ethereal blade of the reaper striking away life, I found myself snorting, "The Lords of Hell are watching, and can't you feel it. Something big is about to happen. I've got a feeling Mephisto is taking some drastic measures."
I didn't know why but everything in me was telling me this. There was just something about Mephisto that made my soul react differently. It was almost like I could perceive some of his actions. Well, as close as one could to an entity like him.
"I know the feeling, "Lilith said as the Karmic Laws, followed by Gravity, Time, and many more, began to bend to her will, creating a massive domain of chain reactions that killed millions of demons in a blink of an eye.
"Jesus, I still can't bring myself to like your kind. Cheating bastards."
"Said the man who's literally invincible to any form of dao."
"I worked for this shit."
"Your brother gave you the body."
"And I built it."
"Like hell you did. Or did you forget the time I body fucked you? And you were unconscious for like a hundred years as I began tossing hundreds of bloodlines in you?"
"Oh, screw you!"
"Well, mama can go a few more rounds!
"BITCH"
"SLUT"
"Can you two get serious!" Freya howled, arching her sword towards where the sun and moon should be, "Incarnation of Death!"
A bubbly feeling of unease spilled its way down my heart as I felt some dark aura ripple from the dead bodies we had created. Watching as hundreds of them began to rise back up, I looked inwards with the help of the Weave and noticed Freya's power running wild in them.
Sliding my gaze over the battlefield, a dark light burned like fire in my eyes, as the spear of Noctem burned a sinister light. My mind fused with the darkness, and the sliver of Astral Force within me began to surge.
"Banish!" I chanted, as everything as far as I could see vanished from my eyes, "MOVE OUT!!!!"
Blasting off the confines of space, everyone whipped forward as the void began to shake, and I began to pale as I felt my Divinity begin to drain quickly. Not willing to be fully drained, I released my hold as billions of demons and devils came rushing back from the darkness.
However, I had made a large opening to escape at that time. But even as we managed to break out of the encirclement, the voice of Izavith came. "Arsene, My queen, we've got Big problems, Mephisto, and alongside all seven of the Fallen are sending their Avatars."
"Huh?!!! FUCK NO!! STOP THAT!" I howled.
"What did Zariel say?"
"He's missing." Izavith coldly said.
"Allow it, and have two of the Fourteen Abyssal Supreme Generals, follow each one. You are to bring them to me."
"Lilith, this is madness! You can't possibly think this is a good idea?" I shouted, glancing back at the hoards of demons firing off spells that were devoured by my darkness and sent back at them with a new tarnishing force.
"Arsene, I need help. And despite being enemies right now, I think this could help us." She said, mischievously arching her lips.
"What do you mean?" I said.
"As you may or may not know, Izavith has been gathering metals alongside various materials for our child."
Realization slipped into my heart, "you're trying to extort them. Woman, are you mad?"
"I don't really like that word; think of it as I'm taxing them for being in my land." She childishly said.
"Jesus Christ! I might be a little proud of you. For once, you're not screwing me over." I said, pulling her into my arms.
"Well, if we are going to have twins, then we will need everything available. I'm not above screwing over everyone."
"HUH?! What'd you say?" I softly ask, coming to a standstill as she covers her mouth.
"Shit! Dummy Lili!" She exclaimed, "I was going to tell you when we fought to get an edge in battle."
"Boy and Girl?"
'I'm not telling!" She said, jerking her head away in a pout. "It could be two boys or two little girls! You'll never know till you defeat me."
"What the hell are you two doing!" Layla howled, flashing to our side, pulling us into her arms, and darted away as the winds slapped over my cheeks. My hair wildly fluttered through the breeze as I slipped into deep thought.
Ignoring the intimate nature of my head against Layla's breast, I stared into the mischievous amethyst, "Two baby girls! And me teaching them how to eat people? Dear god!"
"The Fuck!?" Layla said.
Blood slipped from my nose, and Lilith bobbed her head up and down, "Or two boys: Arsene One and Arsene Two!"
"Dear God, I need to come up with another name! Let it be, Dio!" I shouted when It suddenly hit me, "Wait, what are you calling the girl?"
Lilith smirked, "well, since the name will anger you, let's leave it a mystery for now. Don't worry; it's cute."
"Don't you think this should be a family decision?"
"Nope. You made the parameters; I'm only following them. I pick the girls; you pick the boys. GG."
"By Luna's Grace, You two are insane. How the hell are you having children? More than one. In fact. I pray for all humanity." Layla remarked, shaking her head, turning towards Lilith as we soared through the skies, with Ty and Arkanos flying behind us, "But congrats. I've wanted a kid for the longest."
"Can't find a man?" I amusingly jeered, and she nodded.
"I could make one internally; it's a simple technique, but raising a child in a single-parent home can't compare to two." She sighed, shaking her head with a downcasted gleam." I can't let my selfish decision affect what I want to protect the most. And despite the fucked up love I see in you two, your child is rather lucky or totally screwed.
I smiled, as did Lilith. Glancing back at the hordes of demons and devils fading into the background, I could only sigh as I knew things were going to become crazy in the coming years.
If Lucifer, Mephisto, Moloch, Chemosh, Samyaza, Dagon, Belial, and Beelzebub are all sending Avatars. Then their cultivation should be in the confines of the Fourth Heaven, but still, their battle prowess, I'm not too sure.
"A new age is coming."
