In the hours that followed since Yahweh had entered Lilith's chamber, I had begun to feel a subtle pressure coiling around the world around me. It was subtle, but the longer I stood pacing back and forth, I began to notice fewer and fewer Abyssals.
At first, there were hundreds, but now there was less than a handful. Their faces were red, their eyes moist, and their jaws tightly bound shut. Within their eyes, a great intensity shone as they stared toward Lilith's chamber that carried a chorus of grunts and cries.
I was sure they could feel it: This formless pressure.
"Arsene!" The voice of Yahweh called, and without hesitation, I barged right into the heavy scent of blood. My vision went to red and back to normal as my eyes landed on Lilith's pale cheeks. She looked weak. Weaker than I'd ever seen her. Her lips were dry and cracked, her once luscious body now withered and faded.
It was as if she was a ghost of her former self.
I moved to her, taking her by the hand, as her amethyst eyes peeped at me. She grinned: "Did you see Ty and Arkanos?"
I held back the turmoil, the emotions brimming from my eyes. I hadn't even needed to turn as the two girls popped their little heads up to their mothers' beds.
And with two innocent voices, they said: " We gonna marry Ves!"
"..."
"..."
Lilith and I exchanged glances, the both of us smiling as we didn't put much weight o their words.
Lilith grinned, reaching for their adorable heads: "Of course, you will. Ves will be the best hubby." She said when Yawweh snickered.
"So we can marry him!" The duo asked with excitement.
"Yes… I don't see an issue." I hesitantly said, a little confused by the conversation. "Why do you—"
"Ark!"
'Ty!" Hugging one another with joyous bliss, premonition swayed over my mind in the form of regret. These two hell spawns were up to something.
They turned to Yahweh with a thumbs up.
"Ahh~" Taken back by Lilith's mournful cry of pain, crackles of light washed over the skies with the uncomfortable force of pressure against my bones. It deepened with each moan as Lilith munched down on ice chunks.
Everything happened so quickly as the dozens of Seraphim began to tend to Lilith while Ariel checked between her legs that stood hoisted up. She reached up, grinning: " You ready? Its time. Your about to be a mama bear."
For all paleness, Lilith glowed a bewitching warmth as she looked at me, her weak palm tightening around me: "I"m about to create a mini you, just for me to hold and love." She whispered, pulling my palm to her lips. She kissed it, giggling to herself as if her life wasn't at risk.
What is going on with all the women around me? Is there one that can value their life?
"You really are something. You know that, right?"
"F— I mean Yahweh, if you will." Said Ariel, a little jittery for some reason. "Can we begin?"
Yahweh hummed in response, conjuring seven rings that hung behind his back. Each ring began to hum with power, releasing vibrations that tickled the surface of my skin. Golden light swarmed my vision, blinding me of everything except the woman by my side.
Sweat began to pool from Lilith's as her elongated breath grew erratic and short. Sweat slithered down her brow, drenching her gown. We stood together, surrounded by golden nodes.
I wasn't really sure what Yahweh did, but I believed in Ariel. She was the one angel I could believe in. She was sweet, caring, and honestly a goody-goody. To a point, it was nauseating and, at times, refreshing.
I trusted her.
"PUSH!!!!!"
…
…
…
Locked down by the one who'd long been trapped in a cycle of pain and relief for the past few hundred years, I could not deny the weariness between us. I wasn't even doing shit but sitting down like a fucking idiot, yet I was tired for Lilith. This was akin to hell. Literally, I ought to make this shit a torment in my hell.
I can't even imagine a grown-ass man trying to pee out a baby... or, I guess in hell, an aborted fetus. Fuck.
Shit was an absolute nightmare. Screw those bastards that said the birth was beautiful. They were high as fuck. And due to Lilith's physique alongside the chibi's monstrous qi, any drugs injected into Lilith were wiped away.
"I see the head!!!!"
"FUCK!!! GET THIS BITCH OUT OF ME!!!"
"Lol…" I muttered. "We still got another one to—- "
Covering my mouth with her hands, Lilith glared with the eyes of a pit fiend. " Don't you dare say it!!!"
At that time, Gadreel barked, rising to his feet as his tail began to wag, drawing my attention. I suddenly felt a cruel aura bearing down upon the Abyss. This force was akin to the utter chaos of the deepest reaches of this realm seeping out: Cold, Evil. Wicked and Demonic.
A cry rang across the Abyss, and the Myriad echoed its first cry. The stones beneath my feet tore and cracked, bearing this utter force of pure chaos. The sun created by Vita caved into itself as life around the citadel began to die one by one. Popping like insects beneath a cruel god's will.
Madness flashed over my eyes as I connected to the darkness, watching the Abyss and Myriad fall into chaos. The lives of billions flashed over my subconscious, bursting into a fine mist as Izalith's cry crackled.
From the weakest of Gods to the strongest, I saw hundreds of billions die with each passing breath. The once Myriad Heavens that shone like an endless array of stars were now stained red. The souls of the infinite were all rushing to limbo… They were all rushing to Oblvian to be judged.
I shuddered, not for the lives lost but for the beautiful baby girl cradled in Ariel's loving embrace. She looked at me, grinning.
"Never gets old, you know… that look every father has when they see their child." She said, wrapping a small blanket over the little one. She offered it to me. "Here…"
Reaching for the little brat… the little thing that could fit in my palm like a ball, I stared at the purest amethyst eyes glistering like a vast expanse and silvery hair. And the moment her small body touched upon my palm, her cries stopped, and for the first time, I saw my Iza… I saw my daughter's first smile.
"Ahhhh~"
