Chereads / Rebirth: Breaking the World / Chapter 10 - Betrayal

Chapter 10 - Betrayal

As the light realm was preparing for war the dark realm was gathering for a grand celebration.

...… (Time Skippin) ...…

(Dark realm)

(Godric) "Have all of you finished your preparations?" (Shaiden) "Everything has been taken care of." (Daemon) "I have retrieved what is needed and my spies have reported a massive mobilization in the light realm. It looks like they are moving to kill the new seed of chaos while it's young instead of launching an invasion into our realm." (Lucian) "We have been met with some resistance in the lower worlds but are making steady progress. We have completely secured 2 lower worlds, but it looks like I may need to descend to aid in the subjugation." (Godric) "Good, it is time that we begin to hasten the birthing process. Daemon, Shaiden, gather around the egg. Lucian, you are in charge while we are indisposed. Begin by relaxing and allow the egg to begin absorbing your essence. Good luck, may we meet on the other side."

As time slowly passed, Godric, Shaiden and Daemon's appearance began to rapidly age as their essence was being drawn from them and absorbed by the egg. (Daemon) "I do not know how much longer I will be able to hold on!" (Godric) "Then call your queen to help aid you." (Daemon) While gnashing his teeth in frustration… "Lilith, I am in need of your assistance." (Lilith) "Yes, my king, I will be there shortly, please try your best not to die before I arrive. I would hate to miss watching you shrivel up and die." (Daemon) "Just hurry you good for nothing sow" (Lilith) "Ufufufu…hahahahaha… I've prayed for this day to come! Your dog life will come to an end with the birth of our new lord. (Godric) "Young one, provide your essence to your king so our new lord may be born early."

…Dropping to her knees Lilith begins pleading with Godric…

"Lord Godric, I humbly request permission to provide my essence directly to our lord instead of to Daemon." (Godric) "Now is not the time for games. You will comply with your king's request." (Lilith) "Even if he is a traitor who has betrayed us?" (Daemon) "Don't believe her lies! She has been lusting after the throne for hundreds of years." (Godric) "Enough!… We will leave it up to him to pass judgement. Lilith, begin supplying your essence directly to the egg instead of to King Daemon. Daemon, if what she's said is the truth, your end will not be pleasant. Having known you for hundreds of years I hope for your sake this is a false claim. Lilith, if you are lying, I will allow every dark beast, of all 10 worlds, use you to relieve themselves until their testicles dry up and fall off."

Complying with Godric's decision both Daemon and Lilith stopped squabbling and let the egg freely absorb their essence. If looks alone could kill, Lilith would have been dead many times over as Daemon is staring daggers at her. Acting as if he doesn't exist, Lilith enters a meditative state with a slight smile hanging from her lips.

…Inside the egg, Alexander is absorbing the essence of the four outside…

(A) "Hmmm… It looks like that devil queen has been preparing for this for quite some time." Unaware of what the essence exactly contained, Alexander is casually sifting through each of their memories as his body is rapidly growing. (A) "She gathered the powers of the devil race to petition the devil king, Daemon, to rebel and seize control shortly after my birth."

After agreeing to rebel, Daemon finalized his plans and began to act. The information about the light realm entering a period of civil war was the truth and it felt like a blessing to Daemon. With them busy killing one another he didn't need to worry about a sudden invasion. This is the time he would need to consolidate his new position and also allowed his faction to cause trouble for Lucian, slowing the subjugation of the lower worlds and throwing them into chaos. After Daemon entered the chamber to supply his essence, his subordinates began killing and replacing the palace guards faithful to Shaiden.

(A) "She will be a capable asset in the future. Not only did she plan and orchestrate everything, literally guiding Daemon by the nose, she did it all to betray him at the last second. Using her authority as a devil queen she was able to get close with all of Daemons minions. Knowing who they were planning on attacking and replacing was all she needed."

Lilith had been hiding her strength and acting submissive for a long time. With the ability to resist Daemon in a frontal confrontation all she needed was a chance to take him down or flee for her life. Having all of Daemons' and Shaidens' minions replaced with her own increased her chances of fleeing should her gamble fail. She had patiently waited hundreds of years for an opportunity to seek revenge upon the person responsible for suppressing her clan. Having taken her at the age of seven to be one of his future queens, Lilith had been Daemons royal hostage and plaything for the majority of her life. (A) "She's really hoping for a miracle here. Don't know if she will be happy with the outcome. Sometimes it's better to trust the devil you know."

…Outside the egg…

The four looked as though they had aged thousands of years and were awaiting deaths sweet embrace. Suddenly an overwhelming pressure descended, locking them in place as the egg began to shake and wobble.

…Egg hatching noises…

Believing that he had absorbed as much as he could, Alexander decides to leave the egg, and complete his entry into this new world. Exerting pressure outward Alexander shatters the egg completely, sending the shell flying like shrapnel. Godric being the first to react to the development projected his voice throughout the world and proclaimed… "All hail Lord Kyrios, our new lord, has been born this day!"

…All around the world…

Falling to their knees the citizenry repeated Godric's proclamation.

"All hail Lord Kyrios!!!!!"
