The man wearing a Hawaiian and the woman wearing a black women's office suit beside him have walked towards where Lucifer and the rest are.
The woman has beautiful white porcelain skin, a glamorous look, violet iris eyes, and black sclera around it. She has long, smooth black hair, pinkish lips, and a slender body.
Then... God snaps his finger, making everyone, besides the celestials, Asmodeus, Nameless, and his children, temporarily stop.
As soon as God and the woman walked in, the seven direct children had their eyes opened wide in shock! Even Belphegor, who was sleeping, opened his eyes and knelt down with his brothers as they greeted their father.
"We greet our Father!"
As the five angels, Satan, Belphegor, Mammon, Beelzebub, and Leviathan, greet their father, all of them quiver, not out of fear but out of excitement and happiness, as they finally witness and see their father once again.
"I've finally seen him again! For all this time! I finally see him!"
Belphegor's thoughts were all over excitement and joy, as tears overflowed from his eyes.
Satan and Beelzebub, on the other hand, were filled with amazement and adornment, while Leviathan and Mammon were covered in the impression of contentment and satisfaction.
However, Lucifer, on the other hand, is both anxious and terrified, as he doesn't know why his father is here.
He, too, has kneeled on the floor.
Lucifer shivers while being looked upon by his father, God.
As God stares down at Lucifer, he first looks at his other children: Jesus, Buddha, Brahma, the Jade Emperor, Amaterasu, Xiwangmu, and Amihan.
God didn't speak, but instead he told them in their minds.
[Act like you don't know me. That's good.]
Although the statement of God bestowed on them was calm and collected, the celestial beings heard this message with another impression, as all of them had their chests relieved from pressure.
God was delightfully smiling at them while giving them a message.
As to why the celestial beings didn't greet God or act like they knew him, there's one secret they didn't tell everyone.
is for them to treat God as a normal being, not a Lord they hail.
Then, once again, God looked at his children, who were still kneeling and bowing down to him.
"You all may rise."
All of them rise, except Lucifer himself.
As Lucifer was still kneeling and bowing down to him, God walked close to him, touched Lucifer's head, and spoke.
"My son, you may rise." The voice of a father's love for his son has been heard through Lucifer's ears, echoing like a song that he has long forgotten.
Although Lucifer felt the sincerity of his father, he was still somehow scared as he rose.
Lucifer didn't look at his father; instead, he averted his eyes while quivering in fear.
From that moment on, God saw his eyes looking away from him; he snapped his finger and spoke firm and wrathful.
"Lucifer, don't look away; that's rude."
As God snapped once again, everyone except him, Lucifer, and the woman besides him went quiet! The entire room stopped, and everything became covered in cosmic stars.
The dominance of God made Lucifer jolt as he immediately looked at his father.
"Lucifer, I've come in peace; if you want something else, then tell me your grievance! If you don't, then I have no other choice but to punish you..."
"!" Lucifer flinched as he saw his father's grim eyes and his right hand slowly reaching towards his face.
Lucifer closed his eyes in fear of receiving the punishment.
However, he didn't expect what his father was about to do to him.
A hug!
A warm hug from God.
"F-father?" Shocked and perplexed, Lucifer asked in confusion.
"Son, I know you and your aunt 'Soul' are close to each other and have been holding yourself back all this time. But, you must remember, our little sister must not be able to get her memories back then."
"!" Lucifer flinched as he understood his father's statement.
Then God continued to speak while still hugging him.
"There's a reason why you and our little sister can't get close to each other, because there's a chance she'll remember everything."
"B-but father..."
Lucifer was stuttering when he spoke.
God firmly pushes him and looks at his face.
"Lucifer, would you be able to handle her once her memories come back?"
God's soft voice made Lucifer bewildered by the statement he made to his son.
"Father, will her memories come back?"
"She will eventually. Since you're the closest being among my children, you know her better."
God was a bit ashamed as he looked away when he stated his words.
"Our little sister... we just want her to be happy."
Before Lucifer had said anything, he bit his lips and firmly confronted his father.
"Father! I'll-"
However, before even Lucifer could say what he wanted, God put his finger on his own lips and said: "Shussh! Don't speak. You won't be able to protect her, Lucifer."
"!" Lucifer flinched as soon as he heard his father's firm statement.
"...Lucifer, I am sorry that I had to put you in all of these situations."
"What are you talking about, father? The books you all wrote about the creation were all your words. I am simply following your will. I exist because you wield it. The evil wrongdoings I've done—no, we've done—are destiny written in your will. No matter the destiny, I will accept it."
God was bewildered for a moment before he smirked, then slapped his son on the shoulder a few times and laughed.
"Pfft! Wahahahaha! You're literally something else, Lucifer! Whahahahahahaha! These kids still can't take a joke!"
As God laughed his ass off on the floor, the lady with him also knelt down, and she too couldn't hold her laugh anymore as she burst into laughter.
"Asherah! This kid still can't take a joke, wahahahah!"
Asherah is not God's wife, who created Lucifer as well as the other angels; however, Asherah is a primordial celestial being.
She was created by God's sister, the Darkness.
God's sister, let Asherah be his partner to entertain him.
Out of all God's creation, the angels and the other celestial beings who knew him well considered Asherah God's long companion, a close partner, not a lover, but an assistant.
Although in some old religious texts, mortals view Asherah as God's wife, God doesn't seem to mind it, nor do his kids, the angels. However, in Asherah's case, how the mortal views her is that she sees these situations as nothing but insulting, blasphemous, and sacrilege, as she never once sees herself on the same level as her creator's brother.
Even Asherah felt guilty for all this wrong assumption of mortals to her with God himself; God didn't mind this statement; instead, God was the one who was responsible for this charade, for he thought giving Asherah a title, whom he always with.
Asherah later found out about this when God told her, "Accept it. It's my gift."
And thus, Asherah kept this title for thousands of years, continued to keep it, and felt proud of it.
And now, in the present time...
where both of them, God and herself, were laughing at Lucifer.
Lucifer looks at Asherah, embarrassed and ashamed.
"W-w-what are you two doing right now? Father? Mother?"
"What do you mean? Of course I'm laughing at you! Wahahaha!" God responded as he burst into laughter on the floor.
"Lu, your father has been playing with you the entire time. There's no way all God has said is true." Asherah, who tried to control her emotion, made a comment even though her eyes were tearing up due to the laugh.
Then God sits up and stops laughing for a moment, for his eyes have tears of joy.
"Lucifer, I haven't closed the chapters for you and my little sister. Do you honestly think that my little sister is really that weak?"
"But father, the Grigori are coming for her and her children!"
"Ahh, those guys? Never mind those failures; your uncle, death, is already taking all of them."
"What do you mean, taking all of them, father?"
Lucifer stutters a bit as he speaks to his father.
God replies to him firmly and bluntly.
"Well, I could erase all of them with just snaps, but that would put me in a tight spot if the other newly born angels knew about it. So I gave Death a list of the escapees he must erase from existence."
"Does it include Samyaza?"
"Ohhh... right! that kid. about him..."
"What about him?" Anxious and tense, Lucifer asked his father.
"Sis said that she'd personally take that kid. I am pretty sure that by now, Sis has already found that kid."
As God said...
Outside of the city, in a different dimension, in a different world, in an unknown universe, a girl with porcelain skin, short dark hair, and sharp violet eyes, wearing a goth violet lolita dress, violet high heel shoes, and a violet parasol, is currently sitting on a man.
A naked man!
He's lying where his face and front body slammed on the hard wooden floor, with a beautiful young lady sitting comfortably on his back.
"Samyaza, you never change, do you? to think that as soon as you get out of the cage, you immediately fornicate with 20 mortal beings."
"What else can I say, Aunt Darkness...? They're beautiful creatures that God created. Anyway, it's good to see you here. What can I do for you? Don't tell me you want to-"
Before Samyaza even finished his statement, darkness glared at him. Her sharp, knife-like gaze and fury made Samyaza's face slam on the hard wooden floor by releasing such a heavy gravity only on his head.
"Samyaza, you better watch what you're saying before I erase you from existence."
"Hmph! You're going to erase me either way, so why don't I have to enjoy myself before I disappear, right?"
Darkness removed the pressure from Samyaza's head, then sighed.
Samyaza lifted his head from the floor, pouting because he was annoyed.
"Samyaza, why are you always acting like this? Why could you not control your lust? Remember, most of your kids wrecked the first world."
"Yeah, but didn't Father destroy them all in the flood?"
"Not all of them... remember your kid, Asmodeus, still kicking but different from you?"
"That kid? He wasn't destroyed because he wasn't a Nephilim."
Since that moment, darkness has spoken.
"Oh, right, he's an 'Adomel', a mixed half-angel, half-demon. I remember now that when I created Lilith, she gave birth to some demons who walk among men. A lot of them are females who have a large libido. You've mistakenly fornicated with one of Lilith's descendants."
Then Darkness smirked a bit and giggled before she continued to speak once again, but this time she was a bit happy.
"...can't blame you. All Lilith's descendants are beautiful and gorgeous."
"Right? I still remember the plump, soft, yet smooth skin of that woman in the first world. By the way, I am talking about Asmodeus's mother, so... She's way too beautiful for her age. She's 30, a mother of two children, and yet her perky and pinkish nipples are the best. Her body as well! so slim and slender. I can't forget everything about that thing."
"Yeah, yeah... I don't have time to hear about Asmodeus's mom and yourself. Since I already know about Arren and her family, keep your monologues to yourself."
"Alright, I'll stop. By the way, this story that Father is working on right now... feels kind of generic, lame, and boring."
"Tell me about it." As Darkness heard his statement, her eyes rolled up, like she was too fed up, tired, and embarrassed at the same time.
However, it didn't last long as the sudden, intense, and heavy cold atmosphere swallowed the room.
"!" Samyaza flinched as soon as he sensed it and tried to look at his back, where Darkness, the girl, was releasing terrifying power that cloaked her whole body.
Samyaza gulped for a moment before he spoke, awkward and afraid.
"Is it my time already?"
"I can't let you go and wreck our little sister's toys by tainting them with your corruption. Besides, I've read my brother's new books. In volume three, you attempt to fornicate with one of my nieces. That's not something I'll let happen. Even my brother had twisted fetishes. So goodbye!"
The Darkness placed her hand on the top of Samyaza's head, and just like a vortex, Samyaza's entire body got devoured and consumed by the Darkness as it was sucked into her hand.
Samyaza didn't scream or feel any pain as he was getting devoured and erased from existence, as if it were a painless execution.
Then, after darkness erased Samyaza from the very existence of the multidimensional universe, she stood up and looked around the room, where half a dozen humans, all female, around 10 to 25 years old, were lying on the floor and bed, naked, unconscious, and covered with white fluid inside and outside of their bodies, whether it was their mouth or their pink flower goal.
Darkness didn't react or feel anything; instead, she clapped her hands.
At that moment, each female gleamed as they got healed, cleaned up, gained dresses, and got covered up in an instant. The smell of male white fluid, the sweat, the exhaustion, and the fatigue—everything within themselves got restored to the way it was before each of them regained their consciousness.
And so, one by one, all of them woke up.
One woman was confused and bewildered as she stood up and looked around.
"Where am I?" the woman said.
Then she looked at Darkness; however, before Darkness even said anything, she gazed at her, snapped her fingers, and said: "Remember nothing! and return where your home is!"
And darkness snaps her fingers once again; however, this time, she makes everyone disappear.
After all the consideration she has shown to mortal women that Samyaza has fornicated with, she let her parasol drop; however, before it even touched the floor, it turned into a violet butterfly and flew away towards the window and disappeared.
She then stretches and cracks her arms, fingers, legs, back, and neck.
"Damn it! Finding this little bitch was much harder than I thought. Avoiding using his power and residing in some alternate universe is sure a clever move."
Then she sighs.
"Now, then... My job is done. It's time to see my cute and innocent little sister! According to the script, they are going to have family dinner with Lucifer and my brother."
As she stated, she then clapped and disappeared, leaving the room empty and silent.
Meanwhile, going back to where everyone is.
After God and Lucifer had a small conversation, God removed the power that was stopping Satan and the rest from moving.
However, although he removes his power from his children, the rest of the entire room is still under God's power.
Asmodeus, Jesus, and the other celestial beings, the children, Li Jing, and her entire family, including her father's family, along with Nameless, are all still under God's power.
God, look at his children, calmly look at them, and smile.
He coughs for a moment before he speaks softly and spreads his arms.
"You all have done well, my children. Now... give your father a hug."
"!"
Except for Belphegor, everyone exchanges glances until Belphegor walks towards God and hugs him tightly.
"Father, I am sorry that I failed to protect the tree—the task you bestowed on me! Please forgive me!"
Tearing up a bit, Belphegor is both feeling relief and guilt. He shivered, hoping his father, God, would at least forgive him for the mistake he had made a long time ago.
God looks at Lucifer, and Lucifer perplexedly looks at his father, troubled and concerned.
Then, God hugs Belphegor back, taps his head, and says, "There's nothing to forgive for something you were never aware of. It's called a mistake for a reason. So let it be."
Belphegor responded like a little girl who was crying and unable to speak by making the simple sound, "Mmh!"
"If that's all, Belphegor, then wipe your tears and let your brothers have a chance as well."
Then Belphegor simply let his hand go away from God, wiped his tears, and then moved away.
From that moment on, God looked at Satan, Samael, Beelzebub, Leviathan, and Mammon.
"You five... Aren't you going to hug your father?"
"!" The five of them flinch from fear and shock.
They didn't expect that such things could ever happen. Hugging God, their father, their creator, King of Kings, and Lord of Lords is like something that would never happen and should never happen.
Thus, for them, hearing and seeing that their father wanted them to hug him is a big surprise, especially since none of their brothers, not even Lucifer, Michael, Gabriel, or Rafael themselves, were able to hug their father willingly until today.
Then...
Satan walks towards his father, followed up by Samael, then Beelzebub from behind, and then Leviathan, then Mammon as the last in line.
"Father." Satan said.
Calm and collected, Satan hugged God.
As Satan hugged God, God then whispered in Satan's right ear and said.
"Son, there's no need to hide your overwhelming emotions from me."
"!" Satan lost his emotion for a moment; he was jolted as soon as he heard his father's statement.
Satan then tried to collect himself immediately and smiled.
"Father, you perv." Satan whispered to God's ear too, then stood up still and smirked at God's presence.
God smiles normally until he jumps and smacks Satan's head.
Although it's a light tap on Satan's head, God's sheer power alone is terrifying! as Satan's head instantly exploded into nothingness.
Blood splattered all over the place as Satan's vessel stood still without its head.
Everyone looked confused for a moment, wondering what all that was about.
However, rather than having a surprise look, the faces all had something more like bewilderment.
Then God spoke. "Son, don't ever make a joke like that. Understand?" His face is smiling, his voice is calm yet menacing, and his aura is warm and collected yet terrifying.
Lucifer, Leviathan, Mammon, and Beelzebub also took a quick glance at Satan's headless body, bewildered and confused.
Until a sudden whirlwind happens on Satan's headless body.
The whirlwind was composed of blood, shuttered bones, veins, liquid water, and his angelic grace, all of which exploded all over the place inside the room.
It only took a moment for Satan's head to get reattached back to the way it was as the whirlwind disappeared.
And then Satan spoke, calm yet delighted, like a little child finding his father's annoyance at his son funny.
"I am sorry, father. It's just that I never thought there would be a day that you bestowed on us such a gift. Hehehe... Please forgive me for making such jokes. I love you, Father~"
Then Satan moves away with a smile on his face and lets his brothers from behind get through.
However, before he leaves, God looks at him, pouting and annoyed.
"This brat is ruining my mood."
After Satan moves aside, the next child steps in.
Now, Samael, the child who recently caused commotion, has stepped forward and walked towards God, His Father.
Quivering in fear and looking down on the floor while walking towards his father, Samael felt the abnormal pressure around him, as if he already knew that his father wouldn't forgive him.
From the time God entered the room, Samael didn't greet his father but just followed his brother's actions and kneeled along with them.
He didn't speak; instead, he hid in the shadow of his brothers, who were with him. He diverted his eyes and awkwardly went along with his brother's movements.
All this disrespectful attitude just added to the sin that he had committed, making it hard for him to get up or beg for forgiveness.
Then God spoke calmly yet firmly.
"Samael..."
"!"
Just by mentioning his name, Samael was immediately startled.
The sheer pressure is starting to make Samael feel like a glass with cracks that is about to break.
He hasn't set his eyes on his father yet, but his eyes have already started to tear up.
He stopped moving forward because he thought everything was hopeless.
Then God walks toward him instead. Then, once again, he spoke.
"Samael, look at me."
With tears in his eyes, Samael looked at his father.
"Father, I am sorry!"
Samael was filled with regret and sorrow as he spoke.
God didn't say anything; instead, he responded by hugging his child.
"It's ok. I forgive you."
With such simple actions and short statements, but a soft and yet warm voice.
Samael burst into tears.
"waaaaahhhhh!"
God, who tried to calm him down, tapped and then rubbed Samael's back until he calmed down.
"Now, Samael, go and sin no more. Understand?"
Samael wiped his tears, nodded, and moved aside.
From that moment on, another God's child steps in.
And continue...
God hugs them and talks with them. He answers his children's grieving, he corrects the guilt of his sons' mistakes, and he forgives his kids' sins.
As soon as God's done, he stretches his arms and legs.
"Oh, myself! Talking with kids is truly one of my guilty pleasures. So just keep it secret from your other brothers."
After God put his finger on his lips, like a little child telling friends to keep their secret, the atmosphere around them suddenly became heavy and serious, as the warm and soft ambiance suddenly became icy cold and stiff.
"Now, then... It's time for our sister to wake herself from this eternal slumber. Isn't that right, Sister?"
And then a girl's voice was heard from Asherah's back.
"Of course... It's our little sister, after all."
a familiar voice.
And then the girl walked out of Asherah's shadow, revealing herself.
It's Darkness!
"It's time for our sister to wake up."
God and darkness walk where Li Jing is standing beside her and look upon her.
"Soul, I hope you forgive us." said God and darkness, with overwhelming guilt and burden.
