"Are you already tired of living with the princess?" Rose snorted. She had the unhinged urge to completely snap at him.
"Please I know I hurt you and I get that you hate me but can't you please be more considerate of our son?"
"Shut up!" Rose finally snapped. Several pairs of eyes darted into her direction. "You have no right to call him our son. His is my son. I raised him on my own while you were busy taking strolls in the royal palace"
"Rose…" David wanted to speak but Rose had already turned away from him. She was completely agitated at the moment.
How dare he claim to want to marry her? How dare he speak about her son as if he hadn't abandoned them?
She barely walked five feet before a force knocked into her. She wasn't the only one though. Everyone in the establishment felt a force knock into them. This was the mana the Earth was gaining from the universe.
Everyone immediately fell unconscious. When they would wake up?
That was unknown.
…
At different parts of the globe earthquakes rampaged, unprecedented storms brew. On the ocean's waters, large Tidal Eddies spun on the surface of the waters, big enough to swallow titanic sized ships and bury them under a body of water.
Cities lost power almost immediately, technological signals were disrupted everywhere, it didn't matter where you were or what kind of technology it was. Electric trains lost control.
Airplanes both large and small, public and private seemed to rain down from the sky. Some landed in the ocean waters, others landed on islands, mountains and dove straight into the middle of cities.
The American Empire, the African Empire, the Russian Empire, the Turkish Empire, the British kingdom and the Italian kingdom were all in turmoil. Beautiful cities had been decimated, once perfect structures were now on fire. Within the streets of these cities, people roamed, but their movement were sluggish to be normal and their eyes were completely white. On one look it was easy to determine that these things weren't normal at all.
It didn't matter where you were or who you were. You were affected nonetheless.
The death toll of the humans was so massive that even counting them would be impossible.
It wasn't just the humans that were affected. Plants and animals mutated under the influence of this energy called mana.
As things stood at the moment nothing on Earth was no longer the way it was. It had expanded in size by several kilometers before it stopped. The concentration of mana on Earth was still gradually increasing.
The world would never be the same again.
…
Meanwhile
Deep within the Earth. An underground cavern lay hidden from the world. There were magma pools and magma rivers at different locations. The cavern was naturally hot with temperatures that reached to about 500C0.
Most would think that such a place would be barren and devoid of life but that wasn't true at, in fact at the center of the large pool of magma actually lied a long tower made of black obsidian. The tower had a hundred floors and each floor had its own environment and a different gravity effect.
Currently a humanoid figure with ash black skin was walking down a stone bridge that led to the entrance to the tower. The figure had a feminine appearance and it seemed to be injured.
With each and every step it winced. The once magnificent horns that used to be at the top of her head had been broken off. The bat like wings that hang from her back looked worn and her thin tail swung weakly from side to side.
'Damnit. If it wasn't for that serpent…' she thought with conviction.
This was none other than Huey Coleman's first girlfriend/ ex-girlfriend but more than that she was of the demon race. A succubus to be exact which was why she was the first to find out that Huey was the wielder of Earth's world spirit.
Back then, she had just been having fun with him, her original plan had been to turn him into a toy and eventually strip him of his soul when she was done. This was typical succubi behavior. They used intimacy as a doorway to the soul and they would take advantage of this by draining to soul's energy and incorporating it with themselves evidently killing their prey.
But who would have thought that she would actually genuinely fall in love with him. He was funny, he was kind, he saw the world in a positive light. Though it always darkened when it involved rich and privileged people who never seemed to have enough. In other words, Huey was a rich minded person who with the right motivation would have reached far in the world.
She sighed. For the first time she regretted who she was or rather what she was.
She approached the gates where two large bodied demons stood. They had grey skin, monstrous muscles and had large tusks protruding from their mouths. They both held a spear each and both wore leather beast skin around their waists.
They spotted Charlotte and when they saw her figure a mild amount of lust flashed in their eyes.
Charlotte was actually very much naked at this point as the clothes from the human world could not withstand the corrosive properties of her dark elemental mana.
"What are you two brutes looking at?" Charlotte had a seductive smile play on her lips causing testosterone of the guards to flare up to unperturbed heights.
"Why aren't you a pretty little thing?" one of the demon guards spoke in a gruff voice as his hand reached for his hard on. "You wouldn't mind playing with us right?"
Charlotte giggled for a moment. "Sure I wouldn't mind but…" her eyes suddenly darkened. "You wouldn't want to touch Asmodeus' one and only daughter right?"
The guards immediately froze. Shivers ran down their spines. Which demon didn't know Asmodeous, he was a fearful and powerful demon. One of the Seven Deadly Sins with the title of lust because of the nature of his power and of course because of his love of women.
It was a well known fact that the seven deadly sin was fond of his daughter as she was a genius having already reached the 3rd star realm at an age of 15, she hailed as an outstanding demon who was destined for great heights.
The two demons immediately bowed their heads and gave way for her to enter.
"How noble" Charlotte walked past the gates and immediately her body was warped and teleported to the 75th floor of the Demon tower. She was in what could only be described as a throne room. There was several pillars that supported the large ceiling above her head.
She standing on a blood red carpet that rolled all the way to a raised throne where a man currently sat.
He had pale skin but his features were sharp. His perfect sharp jaw, straight nose and his red eyes that seemed to be swirling around continuously were capable to draw in any woman and even male in the world.
His being exuded a certain irresistible charm capable of making even the most strong minded and strong willed existences falter.
This the 5th most powerful demon after the demon king.
The 5th Deadly sin of lust Asmodeous
Or as one person in particular called him
"Dad!" Charlotte ran like a little girl onto his laps. Completely disregarding her injuries or the fact that she was practically naked before her father.
Asmodeous laughed slightly before his expression became serious.
"My little monster how can you ran like that when you're injured?"
Charlotte pouted. "How can you call someone as cute as me a monster?"
Asmodeous chuckled and shook his head. His daughter was always like this.
"Okay okay. That's my bad" Asmodeous patted her head carefully, while also checking out her injuries.
"Tell me what happened" his face was stone cold and his voice was icy.
Charlotte nodded before she proceeded to narrate the event of what happened to her. She also didn't hide the fact that Huey was Earth's spirit wielder.
"I see you have no idea who attacked you correct?"
Charlotte nodded silently
"Mmmh…and what do you want to do with the spirit wielder?"
"I want him?" Charlotte replied shyly as she looked away from him her cheeks burning a bright purple. She looked cute.
"Huh what was that sweetpie?" Asmodeous pretended not to have heard her
"I said I want him to be mine okay!" she shouted. "At first I wanted to kill him painlessly with hopes of taking advantage of the spirit but he surprised be by shattering my dark spear with his mana"
"That doesn't sound impressive?" Asmodeous mused
Charlotte rolled her eyes. "Well of course it isn't. what is though it the fact that he was able to use mana without ever forming his mana heart and the amount of mana he used was so miniscule yet it was able to shatter my dark spear apart!"
Asmodeous' eyes widened at this point. If what Charlotte was saying was true, then Huey could only be described as a genius mage and the fact that he shattered Charlotte's dark spear spell which was made by Charlotte who was a 3rd star realm mage. Then the possibility that what Huey had used on that time was an anti-magic spell was really high!
Asmodeous' body shook subtly. This would change the course of a lot of things.
And if Huey had the world's spirit then…
"Baby…I'm sure you know as much as I do that if he really does wield Earth's spirit. Then that would make him extremely talented and even more difficult to control"
"I know daddy. That why I want to get stronger. Enough to suppress him completely" Charlotte's eyes shone with determination before she hopped off his lap. "Before that though. I need to heal up"
Charlotte walked away and when she was gone Asmodeous sighed.
There was one other thing that she hadn't told her and that was the fact that Earth was evolving which would give every being equal opportunity to get stronger.
And sooner or later the demon king would place the order for control and monopoly of the planet to begin.
Earth was bound to be a battlefield of many wars.
