"The gods are going to visit Lucifer?" Augustus asked. "Why is that?"
Aiden didn't know how to explain this. Last night his soul was summoned by the Elder Gods. They hadn't known that Lucifer had broken out of his prison and wanted to confirm from him.
"Yes Lucifer escaped from his prison, several weeks ago, during his escape there were several disasters on Earth," Aiden explained politely. Not a single thought ran through his mind, not when the gods could read his mind.
A single thought could have him sent to the Nine Circles of Hell or even worse Tartarus.
"How could we not have noticed this?" Odin, the Second Rank of the Elder Gods, questioned.
"He is currently occupying the body of a human male, a former friend of mine," Aiden explained.
"But that shouldn't be possible," Odin says going into a deep thought.
"This isn't what we should be wondering about now," Zeus, The Third Rank of the Elder Gods, said. "He hasn't tried attacking us right now, and the humans are not endangered."
"He must be planning something," Amun-Ra, the First Rank of the Elder Gods said in a deep thought.
"The question right now is what he might be planning," Odin said, crossing his leg and leaning against his right arm.
Amun-Ra slowly gets out of his deep thoughts. "If we try to fight him, we might accidentally trigger his constant thirst for blood and revenge like the first time," he said. "After all, we can't exactly kill him, he has not been held down by the concept of death in a long time."
"True, if we try to start anything, he might decide to finish what he started and end the human race before aiming for us, the gods," Odin said.
Aiden stood still mindlessly. He understood what was going on. He doesn't support what the Elder Gods are planning on doing, but who is he to question their ability? He is nothing but a mere human.
"Yes," Aiden replied. "I don't know the gods being sent, but surely they would be formidable," he said.
"Again," Augustus said, "why are you telling me this?"
"Lucifer might leave with the gods if he agrees," Aiden said. "However if he doesn't agree, the gods will take advantage of his current weakened state and force a poison created for him that will leave him comatose for the rest of eternity."
Augustus wasn't very bothered by this. "He would agree to keep his peace," he said. "He hasn't kept his promise to Phoenix yet."
Lucifer came out of the bathroom with his towel around his waist. His hair was soaking wet and his disguise was removed. His hair was completely white, his eyes were completely red and his pupils were slightly silted rather than round, and there were five ugly-looking scars on his face, two on the left side of his face and three on the right side of his face.
There were burn marks on his arms, a piercing scar where his heart used to be, but this scar wasn't from recent times, but instead from the time before his journey to becoming the King of Demons.
There were also a lot of cut marks around his torso area. His soft hands were no longer soft instead they were callused from hardship.
Each scar told stories of his life, however, the scars didn't alter his appearance, he still looked very beautiful for his gender.
"I've taken my bath, and I'm ready to talk," he said to the gods.
Athena and Artemis sat on his bed politely and with elegance, while Apollo laid on the bed.
"We were sent here to make a deal with you," Athena said, getting to the point immediately.
"Oh," Lucifer said, going to sit on the only chair in the room. "And what is it this time?" he asked. This isn't the first time they've tried making a deal with him, the first time it was he was double-crossed by Zeus himself, one of the reasons for the war.
"The Elder Gods want to make a deal with you," Athena said, getting up and walking towards him, a golden scroll appears in her hands which she hands over to him.
This wasn't the first time when a huge feast was thrown in his honor. It was just simply a scroll.
He opens the scroll and reads the content of the scroll.
'Lucifer' It said. 'The Elder Gods would like to make peace with you, we do not wish for the long history of hatred and bloodshed to continue.'
'Let's make peace with each other, we, the Elders Gods, wish to make peace with you, we've sent three of the most formidable gods to act as representatives, we hope that you accept our peace treaty, if you don't citizens of your precious demon race would be permanently erased, both the ones still alive and their reincarnations and we will be forced to neutralize you as well.'
Lucifer was enraged reading this letter. His black aura could be seen by the three gods, but they weren't very fazed by it since it wasn't as powerful as that of an Elder God. The demon race still exists, however, he doesn't know where they are, and the reincarnation of the demon race, Rosetta is among them.
This is a threat. He wasn't very bothered when he thought that the demons were extinct because of his plans to return to the past and undo what was already done.
If he doesn't sign this treaty then the Elder Gods will end his race permanently, he doesn't know what they plan to do with him if he doesn't sign.
He supposes these three are here to keep him in check as well.
He takes a deep breath and becomes calm. He looks at the triple A siblings with lifeless eyes. "I will sign this treaty," he said, calmly. "But..." His nails elongate and sharpen. He clenched his fists hard enough to draw blood and three droplets of blood dropped on the ground, three clones formed and stood beside him. "They would be with the gods to keep an eye on them, and make sure they keep their side of the deal."
Athena didn't say anything. Lucifer knew she was debating with the other gods, she was a smart being, and it was obvious she knew what was being put at risk.
"We agree," she said.
Lucifer smiled. "Great," he said. The clones immediately disappeared and went to the Heavenly Realm. "If anyone destroys any of my clones or hurts any of my people then it would mean that the peace treaty has been broken, and once it is broken I won't start a war, I will bring about the end of everything you've created and make you suffer even if it is the last thing I do."
