To say I was not a little intrigued about Zena would be a lie. The Goddess of Light had chosen her, and it seemed like she had received quite a bit of attention from Tenebrae and Luna.
How interesting.
While she is no enemy, it will seem involving myself in her life will effect not just me but the Order of Chaos. It will appear that I've come up in the world. I'm finally becoming relevant.
Lammy's eyes were wide as she stood up with a fiery glare, " Of course, I'm older! What's that supposed to mean?" She demanded, snapping her arms to her waist.
Gods, I can't take her seriously. She's literally a Loli. I kind of want to poke her cheeks.
Zena and Lammy aside, it will seem that Aether has some exciting things. And Astral Vein? The Bed of Chaos has nothing of the sort.
"There was no offense; I merely—"
My words froze as I stood up, immediately sensing someone watching me. Snapping my eyes towards the East, I shadowed step out of the manner and up towards the skies. Still filled with various guards from the Heavens and of Genisis.
Unease began to tickle my spine as the winds felt like daggers against my flesh. Dred ran from my brow down my back, drenching my robes, as I eyed a winged man blazing a heavenly radiance.
His long blonde hair had seemed almost white, and his eyes gold as the rising sun seemed to darken as he settled his eyes upon me.
"Lucifer," I whispered.
When suddenly a pressure unlike anything I'd faced before stormed the city, blood instantly erupted from my wounds, painting the earth, as everyone within the skies fell to the world below, be it Heavenly Lords, Elder Gods, or Paragons. They fell like fallen angels cast from the heavens.
"Arsene Snow," The True Lord of Hell uttered my name. "Where is my concubine?"
"..."
Fuck!
I wasn't even involved. Why the hell is he coming after me? I literally and physically did nothing. First Samyaza, now Lucifer? Any of you bastards need something from Lilith. Go to her!
Don't come to me! She's a big girl with Fourteen General!
"Mephisto?" I called in a hopeful tone, yet only silence echoed.
"..."
Fuck you!
Wiping the blood trickling from my lips, caused by this unholy aura crushing my soul and body, I pushed out any unnecessary thought and soared into the skies under the eyes of many as a rich black flame molded itself around me.
Hovering at eye level, I cleared my throat, " As you can see, I've no idea what you're talking about." I pointed out as without Lilith connecting to me; I would have been clueless. Curse that beautiful woman.
"The Sands of Time and Strings of Fate led me to you, Arsene Snow." He uttered as the urge to vomit came over me.
"I thought I was above fate?"
Lucifer only scuffed, "You had the privilege of being at the crossroads between the Fourth and Fifth Heaven; that was why the Laws of Fate held no effect on you. But on my level, I can just about know everything."
"Except where your concubine is? And how the hell am I supposed to know who that is? I barely even know you." I expressed with a hint of blame in my tone.
This was utter horse shit! Screw Lilith, and screw Mephisto. Screw the Order of Chaos; I know those bastards are laughing their asses off.
"Mother of Demons, Lilith." He coldly said to me.
"Oh, why don't you try Balor and Zantar? I've no idea, or did you forget I'm a cripple right now? My dick bearly works."
"Is that dumb-dumb Luci?" A sweet voice chimed in as I instantly smiled.
Sensing the angel tremble, a small emerald head goddess appeared with a plate full of biscuits. And a face covered in crumbs, " Hi!"
"You? Zhu? What are you doing here?" Lucifer inquired as his brow twitched.
"Talking to Mithra," Truck-kun said rather brightly, " are you bullying Big-Big Bubba? Only Truck-kun can bully bubba, you know!"
"Woman, I don't want to fight you!" Lucifer bitterly said.
"No one ever wants to fight Truck-kun, hmmm," She said, puffing her cheeks while also munching down on a few biscuits. "Is Luci scared?"
"Even the Angel of Death failed to kill you. My god, even Belphigor gave up on you. I know better! I just want to know Lilith's location. And I know Arsene knows."
"Oh, that. She's dead." Truck-kun flat out said, as her lips grew arched in that of an evil grin. " Yup, Big Sis Lilith plunged her sword right through her neck and down into her heart. All according to Mephisto's plan."
Thank god she said it. I don't think Lucifer would believe me. There's just something about me that people don't trust. It could be the sweetness.
"YOU LIE!!!" Lucifer bellowed as an outreach of seraphic qi exploded, tainting the skies and darkening the void.
"Truck-kun never lies! Only to bubba and big bubba! Those dumb-dumbs deserve it. Now, do you want some biscuits? Truck-kun has one left. You can have half!"
What good is half a cookie? After you ate like twenty?
Snapping his golden eyes towards me, steadily turning scarlet, he spoke, "Is what she say true?"
"Y—"
"Oh, relax, it's not like she's fully dead, only partially. She'll spend the entirety of what's left of her soul in a sword. I guess you can fuck a sword if you're desperate." Mephisto suddenly said as he flickered to my side, sliding his arm around my neck."
A faint tremor ran through Lucifer's body as he clenched his fist, " Explain." He said to Mephisto in a chilling voice that the very world beneath my feet felt like it would turn to dust.
"Damn, that's a hard one. A reason? Hmm, well, Lilith was the shit I forgot to wipe, so I guess I decided to clean myself up. If you catch my drift."
Damn!
"Brother, I will not ask again."
"Concubine, I believe, is what you call her." Mephisto suddenly said, unhooking his arm around me, " I believe we are about to meet the Forsaken, who took that heart of yours. Do you think she will—"
"You will hold your tongue, Mephistopheles," Lucifer argued in a snap.
"I've never held my tongue before, brother. But I've done you a favor; as far as I can remember, Aurelia's Mother is quite the jealous type. I even saw her storm into the Nines to kick Lilith's ass. Visit my layer brother. We've much to discuss."
