Gazing out at the darkness that seemed so different than what it was yesterday and the day before that. Anticipation rooted me to the ground as I pointed towards the darkness.
"What you are currently witnessing; is your Pop-Pop's soul evolving," I said to my son and little Iza, drooling over themselves. Huddle on the bed, the twins looked at me with wonder in their little eyes as they rested on their tummies.
"Their newborns Sene they, are too weak for tummy time."
"Maybe for human bitches, my babies are Gods… they are probably stronger than us even sealed."
Lilith, who sat on the bed overlooking the little ones, chuckled. "These bodies you see are just the spiritual manifestation of their souls. What you see here is the zenith of what they can do. Their babies. They eat, shit, and cry. Oh, and sometimes they get boops on the noses. And kisses on the cheeks and necks. Fluff-Fluff-Fluff."
Catching sight of Lilith gently squishing the little twin's cheeks. The little ones burst into giggles, struggling to flip on their backs.
Faces turning red, I watched with fascination as they began to rock back and forth. Using their momentum till they slowly flipped to their back.
"YES!!!!!!!! My babies are the best!!!"
"... I never knew you were so competitive…. Are you feeling OK?"
Heart racing with fever, I touched my chest and nodded. " I'll teach my son… how to pull bitches."
"First off, stop calling women bitches. And this little one needs a real woman. Not trashy whores."
"… umm, how's that different from what I said."
"I said it with a smile.. and I'm a woman. Society is more accepting of women bullying women."
My eyes couldn't have rolled harder as I leaped onto the bed, startling the duo and causing them to burst into laughter.
"...it's been almost three hundred years. Do they not cry?"
Lilith shrugged, with a helpless expression, snuggling closer to my son." Oh, Sene. Do you want to hear a baby cry?
"You're too close."
"Eh?"
"No man or baby I don't approve of is gonna touch my wife."
"..."
"Do you hear yourself when you speak?"
"I hear perfection. It's as if the Word of GOD has blessed my vocals. So yes, my foolish wife, this King hears himself."
"Aaah~" cooed the twins.
"See? The twins agree. I am the word of God, the second coming. The rider of the Abyss. The empyrean of sin. The—"
"Please… shut your ass." Lilith stammered to say, leaning closer to little… I'm thinking of a V as the starting letter of his name.
A/N: it is a V
Hmmm. Let's go from there.
Lifting little Iza, I stole her spot and rested her on my chest as she cooed endlessly.
"Ahhh, Daaa~ Dabooo~ MA~Baal Loov Vaaa~"
"I will destroy the world, honey. Me and you. And yes, dinner is coming up."
"Daaaa mamam VAAAOOOO~'
"Burning of worlds, Iza!" I translated, nodding
"AHAHHH~ BOBOOOM MEOE!!! LEEE!!!"
"Maybe... Maybe. We'll see if burning souls will deliver you some food."
"... Is she saying all that?" Lilith asked with a strange expression.
'Maybe... I like to think she is."
"You're an idiot."
"Debatable," I said, smiling, hearing Iza and V begin talking to each other. I turned to Lilith as my expression slowly grew more stern.
"When will this phase be done? When can I return? Freya and the others need help. I just saw yesterday that she was almost taken by surprise. Things are heating up. And time here versus the Myriad Heavens is different."
"You're asking me?" Lilith pointed to herself. " I don't know. All I know is that what I represent is fusing into you. It takes as long as it takes."
"It's sooo boring chilling here! I want to take the kids to a battle…."
"Nope."
"But…"
"Sene, there not even born! All this here is like a dream to them! What the hell is wrong with you? And who takes an infant to a battlefield?
"How else are they gonna learn?"
"Learn what?"
"How badass their daddy is!
Lilith placed her hands over my head as if to take my temperature. " A donkey kicked you in the head when you were an infant, didn't it? Emma did nothing to stop it… or did it happen with Yuki? You're not taking my kid to a battlefield… till they are done breastfeeding."
"Really? That's, what, a year, maybe two? I—"
I clenched my chest, and my words stopped as my face turned pale, following the intense pain that suddenly began to cycle through my soul.
The darkness unfolding over this realm slowly began to dissipate, and before anyone or I could process what had just happened. Lilith and the Twins faded before my very eyes.
Fear reeled through my mind, but I could only slip off the bed, clenching my chest that felt like someone had taken a battering ram to it.
As if the pain breathe fire, I felt a pain different yet familiar to what I felt in the Origin Realm hammering its way into me. Pounding me into oblivion as I felt myself beginning to fade.
Staggering to my feet the best I could, my heart turned to stone as I grunted. " Lily… What happening."
"LILY!!!" I howled, hearing no reply. "FUCK!"
Trying to Shadow Step into the center of my palace, I grunted as the agonizing pain in my mind grew so much that my control of darkness failed me.
Splintering torment came over me following a cold gush of wind that prickled my skin with goosebumps.
My feet felt so heavy I thought a mountain weighed heavy on my shoulders, but I still moved on.
Pushing one foot forward, over and over, till I came upon a black throne pulsing with Divinity. Blacker than night, the throne sat with an icy nobility that simply bled authority.
I approached, little by little, as my vision began to wane, as the memories locked deep in the mind of my time in the hells all seemed to strike at my most vulnerable. But my steps didn't wane. They didn't stop.
Not until I was upon my throne… Not till I took a seat upon the throne of Monarchs.
My vision began to slip to black as the reaper's blade caressed my neck, but I merely smiled as I spoke… knowing she would hear.
"To defend myself against the Holy Spirit…I tapped into the Sins of the Abyss. Gathered from an unknown source. And now that Lilith is giving me half her power… I wish to pick… two sins. Not one… two."
"Choose," Said the almighty voice of Abyss-chan.
My lips curled up, and I thought of my entire life and smiled. " Pride… the most dangerous of all Sins, and Wrath, I wish for… I… f…"
"Granted"
