"My my some troublesome devil you are boy!" in a supernatural space of eternal darkness where no amount of light could ever illuminate, a figure of a woman appeared. Shrouding under the veil of complete darkness, she softly spoke in an enchanting voice to the man, floating in this extraordinary place in front of her. Still indifferent to all this mind blowing events where one could easily consider such things as miracles, Souma guide his eyes to look at the owner of such soothing and enchanting voice. A silhouette of a women floating in this earth less domain stood right in front of him. No, she's not any regular woman, but something beyond any human could ever comprehend. The dark silhouette has bat-like, featherless- skinny wings protruding out from her back. The figure started to speak in her captivating voice, "Poor soul, It seems that you are hated my many people in your life. Leading a life of utter solitude, experiencing all the hatred and dying a gruesome death, oh my what a terrible fate you have child!". Her words express her sympathy and pity that she must have felt from Souma, yet he could hardly consider her words as something sympathy, not even the most moronic human could ever believe her words. You see, her face contains a devil-like smile, while she speaks so. Rather than sympathy, Souma could easily figure out that she's being sarcastic. Cunning as he would be, Souma also has this great intuition that help him see right through anyone. Struggling continuously to fight against his accursed fate, where the moment he lose, he would die, Souma had developed quite a handful of abilities that help him survive the cruel world.
"I'm dead aren't I?"
"Oh my, it seems you are a clever one. fufu"
"This place feels nauseating. Hurry, reincarnate me and get over with it. You are going to do it any way aren't you. You are fulfilling her request right?"
Souma instinctively knew of who she was and what this place is. Rather than wasting time in this useless conversation, which he was never enjoyed anyway, he wanted to prepare mentally and physically to fight against the new fate of his new life, which was already decided by his aunt, even before his death in his first life.
The figure seemed to have taken aback by his sudden remark.
"Fufu, it seems I owe you an apology for underestimating you. Excellent, you are far more qualified for my expedient. Alright, let me get this straight to you child. I've a bargain to offer"
The figure was shaking, she seems to be excited for some reason. All of a sudden, the darkness covering her silhouette vanished into thin air, purple spheres of fire started forming and encircling around her. The pale light from the spheres illuminate the surroundings, revealing the figure of an extraordinary woman, who is the master of this hypnotizing voice.
Her hairs are jet black like Souma, but long enough to reach the depths of this supernatural space. She had two pointy horns protruding out of her forehead, reaching all the way to the back of her head. Her skin was pale white, one could see the veins underlying her porcelain skin. She had a pair of mesmerizing eyes with long eyelashes and blood red pupils, making her worthy of the title "God". The only piece cloth that attached to her body was a, thin linen-fabric covered her bottom, hiding her sweetest spot. Her chest is wide open, one could see the voluptuous big breast with pale pinkish nipple that hanged and dangled, matching the rhythm of her movements. Runic letters from various mythologies covered her whole body glowing in ever so little radiance.
"I am The Evil Supreme."
"Souma Tanaka, the devil in disguise. Your fate has been decided already. "
The Godly being spoke spreading her wings and throwing her hands wide, as she float higher in the air. She is expecting a quick answer from the man she just spoke to.
Gulp! Like any men would gulp to the sight of such otherworldly beauty, Souma was no different. For the first time in his life, he really had to struggle to maintain his indifferent expressions. He was gazing so intently, like he wanted to burn this sight into his eyes. For the moment, he forgot to speak.
The Godly being tilt her head, looking at the man who was staring at her intently with his wide eyes. She clapped softly, making the man snap out of the dream he was dreaming. Souma instinctively bowed down in a dogeza manner before her. He knew she's someone he couldn't take her by the standards of some Gods. She is far superior than any Gods, from his previous world. He couldn't make sense of how could her aunt strike a deal with such a being. She must have hate him to every fiber of her being, otherwise such a thing would be impossible.
"Fufu, It seems you are well disciplined." seeing him bowing down in a dogeza manner, she couldn't help but comment of how pleased she is.
"Your aunt possess the brightest and the most brilliant soul I've ever seen in my life. The pleasure I would feel after consuming her soul is immeasurable. But her soul is sealed by a contract and it's key is you."
Souma felt the same chills just like the moment before dying. He understood what this Godly being meant. All hairs in his body stood up from its roots. The same painful and gruesome life he had to live again. This time too he might have to kill someone again in order to protect himself and the new world will again scorn him for his deeds. He would rather escape. Right! he will kill himself right after the moment he's reborn. No, after experiencing such a gruesome death for the first time, he didn't have the moral strength to die again. But he's powerless, he is nothing before the superior being in front of him. He remained in his dogeza position not even uttering a single word. He has accepted his cruel fate.
"But I've taken a liking to your soul. Fufu, Souma Tanaka, I will provide you freedom from your cruel fate and grant you the thing you longed for in your previous life. In return, offer yourself to me. You will be sent to various worlds and accomplish the task I will provide, Since as I am right now, incapable to influence the worlds directly. I will use you to influence the orders of the worlds indirectly." the Godly being continue to spoke in her enchanting yet domineering voice.
"Accept, and I will have something worth as equal as the brilliant soul your aunt has. Refuse, then I will just consume her soul right now. Know this, you are in no position to try something funny. Either way I will have what I desire one way or another."
Souma is not stupid, he knows if anyone tries anything in this situation is the greatest moron in the world. He composed himself, looking straight into the mesmerizing eyes of the Godly being, still maintaining his indifferent face, he smirked "I really don't have a proper choice do I? ". Arguing with her is considered as stupid and a waste of time. She knows everything about her, like she's been watching him, since the time he was born. She even knows what he desires the most in the world. The best thing in this situation is to obey her without any second thoughts.
"Fufu, as expected of the cunning devil you are." she smirked in return but lustfully.
"Become my apostle by trading a part of your soul with mine. Offer your services as a servant to me until your deeds weighs equal to the weight of your aunt's soul. Until then you are just a worthless devil."
With that the supernatural space, around Souma and the Godly being distorts. Moaning and anguished groaning of countless souls reverberated throughout the space. Souma unfazed by all these ugly miracles around him, kneeled down to one of his knees, bowed his head.
"I am yours to command, Evil Mother."
"As my first Apostle, I grant you the title of The Devil of Cataclysm. Go and make your Mother proud."
The Evil Mother laughed as she slowly faded into nothingness. Souma still kneeling down, with a face devoid of any emotion, closed his eyes. Everything went into utter silence.
Clink! a sudden sound startled Souma. He opened his eyes only get even more startled. The supernatural space where he and the Evil Mother were conversing, now completely vanished. He found himself laying on a soft bed inside a completely unknown room. Bright light from the window near the bed entered the room. The contents of the room seems to be dating back from European medieval era. However, the thing that stunned Souma the most was this peculiar game-like status window, floating in the air, right in front of his face.
