" By the way is the demon you talked about a sinner or a hellborn " " There a diference ? " " Yeah sinners are more troublesome even if they are light who knows what it would be like plus they are essentially humans who have died but hellborns are easier to deal with they are not as strong as sinners "
" Huh " ' Does this mean sinners are at the lower levels while the hellborns like Lebo are at the surface level and what does Lulu mean by sinners being more troublesome and stronger maybe I should ask more '
" Is there a reason for sinners to be stronger ? " " Yeah of course unlike hellborns sinners are basically humans in their second life so sinners get a head start while hellborns are like humans born in the human world by the way the magic community considers itself closer to sinners because of our initial memory it's why we have so much in common with the sinners hence why some humans don't like us before . "
Karma flips the beef slice thinking about it recalling how he would be busy " Hmm I'll have to do something about the organ transplant " " Why isn't it like the best doctors operating it ? " " No I meant I have to skip it ... looks like I have to take care of my body from now on "
" Huh is it because you want to die as a sinner ? " " Maybe ... actually that is a good idea " " What ? " " Lulu how well do you know about hell's hierarchy ? " " Uhhh Lucifer , lilith , the other demon prince , sinners and then hellborn "
" Hmm then how great is the growth potential of a sinner ? " " From what I heard they are very powerful but some are hiding their powers and there was the news about Lucifer taking hasty actions or something as well as the disappearance of the natural demons ... hey do you know something about it ? "
" Ehh what are you talking about ? " " You are smiling that is the smile of someone whose plans went well " Karma turned showing her his full smile " Oh dear me , Lulu can you keep what you found a secret " Lulu felt shivers as he motioned a gesture to keep her quiet .
" I-i will " " Appreciate it " ' The hell , is this why he invited me not that I can turn down his offer ' " So do you know who these sinners who are hiding their powers ? " Lulu looked at him and said " I recall a guy named Mike who controls animatronics coming after us but was restricted by Beelzebub "
The corners of Karma's mouth raised as he imagined how far Beelzebub was holding these sinners down " Oh how ? " " Something about a contract of being under Beelzebub "
' Does she know ? But considering how she doesn't know some things and even references the elders , the elders might be the only one who knows about Beelzebub's true identity '
" Huh seems like I got more information about the chief demon " " Hey you didn't call me just for barbeque right ? " " I did just call you for just barbeque but you keep making me curious " Karma said shifting the blame of the conversation to Lulu .
" Fine I won't talk and just eat your nasty marinated meat " " Relax I have more than one type of flavor that was one of the failed ones " " Then why did you ? " Karma gives a plate to Lulu as she stares at it .
" I promise that one will taste good " Lulu looked at the food and took a bite as her eyes sparkled " Wow it tastes amazing " " Of course it is it's got some stars " Karma takes a steak and takes his bite .
" Ahh of course you don't have to pay " " Then please excuse me " Lulu took the ones that were on the grill to her half-empty plate as she ate more ' Alright now then how will the sinners react when they learn Lucifer is panicking '
Karma looks at the news of hell as several hellborns are working and entering caves that initially lead to the giant pieces while some free sinners unbounded by contract are trying to reap profits or raise through the rankings as Mike feels the collar that represents his deal of selling his soul to Beelzebub " My isn't this amazing "
Mike looks at the entity as they emitted sigils " Mike huh You died quite young " " Who are you ? " " I'm someone even god fears " " Isn't that supposed to be Lucifer or are you supposed to be the real devil cause when I met him he didn't strike a deal with me at all and Beelzebub was just doing it to keep me in a leash "
" Who knows you can refer to me as the devil if you think it's fitting it will be another nickname for me " Mike couldn't see anything as the sigils covered their face but could make out a humanoid figure .
" I heard you are under Beelzebub , was it ? " " Yeah are you deaf " " No just confirming a few things about this deal I'm going to break " " What ? " Count smiled as he slowly fades and Mike reached out to his collar feeling a crack .
" Really ? " He smiled a lot and wanted to spread this news to topple the thrones " Humans do desire a lot but it's because of this that I enjoy eating the memories they forget " Count smiles as they fade completely and leaves a message .
Karma smiled as he learned what happened " Lulu you can have the rest of them " " Really ? Then don't mind me " Lulu excitedly takes away all the boxes using a vial to open a portal as Karma smiled .
" Gale can you help me with these things " " Sure thing " Gale was very excited to help as Karma calls Isir " So how is Cain in his new job ? " " He is doing well I have found more about what happens during death and I helped him get promoted "
Karma wondered what it must be like to be promoted to a much higher position in record time " Funny is he overwhelmed with work ? " " No I'm using an arachne to help him " " Seems like you could take over the entire globe with that technology "
" Yes but it's hard for me to make connections which is why it's good for boss to give me all these investments " " Alright then how about we take care of a few things remember all those criminals that slip out of our hands "
Isir understood what Karma meant " Okay I'll go kill myself now " " stop I'm just telling you to prepare some quick way to die not go to hell " " Oh okay that's easy I already researched the quickest way to die from the Death department database " " Okay I also found that your sins can be hard to see as long as you hide it maybe the same is your case "
" Ehh but I can see them clearly " " What does it look like then ? " " It's full of monitors and keyboards and a lot of codes " " Makes sense do you think you could get a similar set of abilities related to your life when you go to hell ? " " Why do you think so ? " " I met Mike the security guard slash killer and he was animating demons or maybe sinners don't know a thing about it though "
" If sinners are in hell do you think heaven would have winners ? " Karma stifled a laugh " N-no I'm not sure " he returned his own self composure " but anyways I'm going visit Beelzebub to tell him about the changes that's going to happen in hell "
" Hmm were you planning something ? " " Yep you weren't listening also maybe your sins can be seen as black because even to you it may look like monitors but not others who might not see anything if you are intent to hide information about yourself"
" How can I tell if others can see if that is the case ? " " I'm sure you hide it well but maybe ask them ? I'm not the only one whose sins can't be seen because they can only be hidden when someone is hell-bent on hiding it so you might be seen as having a dark aura that shows how much you have sinned but if others look they won't know what it looks like "
" Oh that explains why some of the serial killers have really dark miasma covering them " " Oh you checked , but sure , we still have to make sure nothing bad happens in hell although mostly I'm just making sure the sinners don't step too far from the line I do have a deal and if that's broken Beelzebub might just kill me "
Karma walks to the biblical relics opening a box " So who should I pin with these ? " ' During the crucifixion I would probably need someone very strong I am already thinking these are important parts meant to crown the new king of hell '
Karma uses his merit to get a feeling on this recalling the story of crucifixion " Hmm everyone would've thought it was a fake but with the guardian by Reed's side ... Hmp "
Karma smirked as merit flowed through the holy nails that were used ' nails and hammer check now I just need the two thieves ... No two probably isn't enough I need the all of hell's thrones which means '
...
" You want to find Abaddon and Azazel ? " Beelzebub questioned " Hurray you got it right , after all , you want to be one of the demons to have their sins lifted but still not go to heaven "
" But why go that far ? " " To save you all from the sinners who don't want to go to heaven they will likely rebel against you and you are gonna have to do that plus it's part of our deal and you probably will have to get rid of your contracts "
" why should I ? " " Or else they restrict you from leaving I know the nature of owning souls and there is a limit to how much one can own so how about giving it to me and we can have an agreement using merit so that I will have to prevent those sinners from attacking your siblings "
" Why would you plan so early already ? " Beelzebub felt something wrong considering how things are progressing " Oh I sent a message it seems " " to who ? "
" Your parent essentially I asked them to do some task and leave it to me , they don't like intervening but now they have to " " Then why did they do it now ? "
" Because I gave them the location of their part I made them do me a favor " " You making our parent a very giant entity owe you ? " " Yeah unbelievable right ? " Karma said as Beelzebub wondered what kind of available favors Karma could cash-in to the giant entity .
" By the way , I also told them when they came to tell me about what god did to their part in heaven which is the forbidden fruit you know the one adam and eve ate and became imperfect ? " " Yes I know but the curse was removed from it "
Karma wonders what the removed curse meant " Oh so that's what the curse is " " Did you think of something ? " " Yep good thing I thought the thought "to not take the heaven piece" "
" Why what would happen ? " " What do you think will happen when god's treasure is found to have been robbed ? "
" Blasphemy " " Exactly but more importantly it means openly opposing heaven " " Aren't we already openly opposing heaven ? " " Yeah but seeing how you haven't done anything it seems you are intentionally leaking information or controlling it "
Beelzebub was irritated to hear how far Karma has guessed as Karma took a bite out of potato chips " Anyways Beelzebub I have to tell you about how close I am even though my body's condition was stabilized the guardian couldn't come very close else they get sucked into it and they couldn't have known what would happen when they got close "
" I see then is that why not a lot of angels are watching closely because of your bloodline ? " " Maybe but more importantly even the guardian didn't want to get close during birth who knows what would happen when I grow more ... but then again I'm quite glad I never did a single organ transplant although I should kickstart a few of my project seeing how valuable it may be "
" What kind " " I normally would sell it but for the sake of our relationship it's a blood bank really I planned to preserve my body as much as possible I even tried to create as many cells with similar genetics to my body it might even be useful also that thing about Metatron I made him do a promise to make sure no harm befalls me when I did something while I was ignorant of a rule "
" Making the little god make a promise surely you didn't force him " " Oh please what can a little human like me do " Karma joked in a playful tone " But Beelzebub did you get what I want "
" Yes I also learned about your deal with Lilith about her providing the nephalem's teachings she even used me as a delivery man "
" Oh don't think it was a bad thing you would've had a hard time finding the Nephalem's teaching good thing you met her huh ? "
Karma smiled as Beelzebub summoned a portal and stacks of books fell down " Oh dang " Karma said now understanding what Belphegor feels when he is overwhelmed .
" Oh well putting that aside I still have to find Azazel and Abaddon if I wanna reenact the crucifixion " Beelzebub recalls the story of the crucifixion and asked " Is it really necessary to have all the princes together ? "
" Yeah I mean there are technically seven thrones of hell and I am for one have to point out that these chief demons are not like the son of god who was sinless until they carried the sins of humanity , So the reenactment might go slightly different where Lucifer couldn't handle all the sins of demons and we also have to deal with the disaster that comes cause even though the chief demons are demons "
Karma motioned to let Beelzebub continue " They are still the sustainers of hell hence they have a lot of power left to at least absorb all the sins " " Exactly so with the giant piece out of the way we can look for our two missing A letter beginning fallen angel "
" Are you insinuating that they are inside the giant piece ? " " Yeah also we don't have to be careful about Metatron " Beelzebub was surprised as Karma smiled as a small hint of a sigil appears .
" So should we look for Abaddon first he is the sin of sloth and also supposed to be some abyss " " Yes he drags people into an abyss of disinterest but are you sure about that reenactment "
" Back to this again Beelzebub I need you to focus on that we have to find the other chief demons first only then will we be able to rid of all your sins and so you won't come after me "
Beelzebub sighs ' Would the seven princes even agree to reenacting the crucifixion ? ' " Anyways from what you told while we were leaving Belphegor's house it seems like Abaddon is just the other name of Apollyon but Apollyon is the real angel while Abaddon is the fallen part "
" That is correct we threw Abaddon and his abyss away to prevent further damage from hell as well as to keep Apollyon in place " " Huh the dangerous definition of sloth is the complete disinterest of something rather than an easy way to something "
Karma thinks for a while wondering what that meant for Apollyon " So does that mean that you are using Abaddon to keep Apollyon from bringing the end times then ? " " Yes we were just simply catering to The disinterest of Abaddon to keep revelation from happening which would essentially be spelling the end "
" If I recall correctly Abaddon or Apollyon appears in the fifth trumpet , the first four seals in the seals story were the four horsemen so the different seven that were given in revelation are happening altogether but then again we can't entirely confirm that so what's the sixth and seventh " " I don't know the bible is very hard to read "
Beelzebub complained " For now I think I can see a pattern first there were seven seals , seven trumpets and then seven bowls huh I have to do some research I guess "
" That's why I think you should halt your plan with the crucifixion or at least leave Abaddon out of it " " Sorry Beelzebub but if I want to take care of business I have to take risk "
" This risk means the end of hell " Karma recalled what Revelation says " Yeah hell will continuously burn and torment as the eternal flame will burn everyone angel or sinners alike ... but I won't let that happen "
Beelzebub couldn't believe the confidence Karma has and could even feel like Karma's words were like Lucifer when he rebelled against god " Oh stop thinking it's suspicious just think of a way to go back to your home maybe even try to cut off the passage between you and the mortal world "
Beelzebub frowned " Got it I will do that as soon as we all return " Karma smiled as he called Isir as soon as he returned home " Hello Isir I need to tell you about three seven stories of revelation "
" Well I did do some reading during my free time from what I know is that the first seals tells people to have a lot of faith in god because he doesn't betray them despite the hard times I think we are already about to end these times "
Karma was surprised to hear that " Oh what do you mean by that ? " " Well the first seven seals depict the four horsemen we already had a lot of war , plague , death and etc. so I figured we are close to the beginning of the seven trumpets "
Karma looks at the city and understands " Then Isir I want you to continue checking on finding the sword of god that represents the war herald , because from now on we are going to initiate revelation "
Isir smiled as the risk just shot through the air " I got it boss " Isir was shivering with excitement and trying to keep their laughter from leaving their body " I'll show them all how crazy I can be " " Of course you will so what will be your plan "
Isir smiles as they look at all the research they did before concluding their decision to kill themselves when Karma calls early in the morning " I'll start by going to hell " " Okay go ahead knowing you I'm sure you already prepared in advance on how you will get there "
" Okay boss I'll see you in hell " ' That kid sure is funny to say that when that's what some villains say to each other ' Karma hears a thud and then a bomb as he checks on the news and informs James and Sebastian .
" Oh so that dear child has chosen to be a sinner I can't say I'm not " Sebatian said as he watched over the children " Uhm sir Sebastian did something happened ? You seem sad " " Not at all I was just reminded of the old days you are not at fault I was the one reading "
" Oh I expected this much that damn weirdo was too crazy on their own " James looked at Hecati and the witches he was assigned to as Karma sighed " For now I'll have to do some talking about the eternal separation from the lord "
Karma goes inside and takes a short nap hoping to find some kind of mail when he wakes up at his front door .
...
A black fog manifested into the lowest levels of hell, and sinners noticed it as Isir recalled the memories of when they called Karma to invite themselves to his schemes at the fresh young age of 15 .
" Oh the memories " Isir took notice that their voice was the same and could even tell their own figure as they quickly summoned their sins which showed what they had done " No this is just my own perspective "
Isir turned to a sinner and asked " What do you see ? " The sinner could hear and see all the distortions and unable to make out what the sins were when they surface " W-what are you " Recalling the stories of powerful souls manifesting having a strange life struck greater fear to Isir .
" THis is my first time in hell ... Actually it's my first time in anything " Isir wondered if they could take the sinner's body and see what kind of abilities they have recalling what the human soul would achieve once it dies .
"A human soul will achieve certain strengths when they die this type of strength is evident to hard workers , During the old eras and before the son of god's coming human souls were simply strong but as more inventions and technology rises the soul's abilities become more varied being able to interfere with reality even more"
Isir points at the sinner but all they can see is a distorted appendage that continuously glitches even switching the direction to other nearby sinners " Let's see Copy and paste " Before they know it a copy of the sinner suddenly appears .
" Oh it works so I can do things without a computer or robot " Isir smiled wondering what the limit is but already figured it out " That would solely depend on my soul's strength huh ? Like a computer overheating "
Isir looks at the sinners who are backing slowly ' I should send a message to boss ' Isir looks up to see a network they can see through ' So I'm like a tech wizard now ' Isir disappears into the network to sends a message while Metatron was bothered .
" This ink ... " He was looking at the file of Isir as he could no longer remember anything about them " Another bothersome soul has appeared but from the looks of it they are only able to mess with information it's fine however "
Metatron already knew how much trouble Isir would bring and such a thing is something even he can't see through whether it be Isir's sins or merit one was like black ink that soaks an entire paper and the other was too bright to make up anything .
" Truely I have gotten weaker " Metatron was worried but had faith in god himself as he rolled the scrolls fully stained with black ink and a scroll with bright ink as he put them in a pile of others with similar situations yet only Isir's was the darkest .
Metatron went to look into hell until something occurred " No the stains ... That troublesome soul is covering hell and these stains are their footprint " Metatron would feel that if he tried to look into it Isir would find him first .
" The Count should I get rid of you " Suddenly eyes appear through stains with a certain glow and warning revealing illusions of what Metatron doesn't want to happen " No I can't " the eyes closed as Metatron now understands why god chose humanity over angels .
" So that's why the lord wanted to separate hell after revelation ... Human's have so much power and the only way to divide them was to separate them through hell ... Oh lord I understand your will know I will ensure no sinners will leave hell "
Metatron retrieves scrolls concerning several human souls who were redeemable and quickly called angels " I want you to go done to hell and redeem these souls and be careful of the souls who aren't "
In the other scrolls given to warn the angels were filled with sinners whose crimes were yet to be known , crimes that show that heaven's grace and paradise will never grace them and to be forever condemned to hell .
