Chapter 21 - God Of Darkness - 4

Finally, my boi, Astaroth got the feeling of love, my god I was stuck with that lonely feeling for 102 years with him. Wait, but why did he have the love feeling when he only saw the opposite element of his because he saw two goddesses too but he didn't get that feeling. Maybe opposite gods get that feeling. 

"Hello, are you the God Of Darkness, Astaroth."

She spoke politely and softly to Astaroth to this he felt different emotions in one second.

"Yes, I guess you are Goddess Of Light, Eliara. Nice to meet you."

"Yeah, nice to meet you too."

"I sensed you when you came into this universe. That's why I ran here as only 2 people have come to this universe up to now. One is you and the other is wisdom, God. Wisdom God also came 50 years back."

"I was also about to go to you as I sensed some God when I came into this universe but to think you would come here by yourselves. If you run like that you may feel tired." The fu*k is he talking about, bro come on you don't have that level rizz to rizz a girl. What does it mean tired she just turned into a light and came not running.

"You don't need to be worried about me."

"How can I not worry when someone as beautiful as you get tired, as a man it is a duty to protect their woman." This Fu*ker is dead he directly said that in front of her.

"Yeah, but don't worry I am not tired. Wa…it wait did you just said their woman?"

"No when did I say that. Maybe it is your delusion as you just met a handsome man like me." The MF just learned how to lie, not gonna lie he didn't even flinch or get emotions when eating the universe or lifeforms but now he started feeling emotions and started lying. 

"You think so, maybe it is like that." She is such an innocent goddess. I feel pity for her for believing him like that. "Ok, now just follow me I show you my big palace, I created."

She took us to her place by simply teleporting us with her. In the blink of an eye, we found ourselves in a massive room that resembled a throne room, with a grand throne at its center. With a snap of her fingers, a table laden with food appeared before us.

 You might think this was some manipulation of space or a matter of creation, but no—it was all done through the manipulation of light. 

By moving faster than the speed of light, one can achieve such feats. Just as teleportation is possible, the ability to "space jump" can also be accomplished by surpassing the speed of light.

"Come, let's eat together."

Just then, I heard something from Astaroth that made me furious.

"I don't like eating small, normal food," he said, and I thought, WTF, bro? She just invited you to lunch, and you're already turning it down?

Seeing the hurt in her eyes, she quickly apologized. "Oh, I'm sorry you don't like this," she said, her eyes welling up with tears.

Astaroth, realizing his bluntness, tried to explain. "No, it's not like that. It's just that I usually eat planets as food. This might not be enough for me."

She smiled softly and said, "Don't worry. This may look like ordinary food, but it's actually made from the core of a planet, which I like to call the yolk of the planet. I just removed the planet's outer shell and used the yolk. The small pieces? They're meteorites that have been refined, melted down, and cooked into this delicious dish. I call it Egg Planet Rice. Try it, it may fill your stomach"

What the hell is going on here? I thought. Sure, I'd seen Astaroth devour entire planets before, but turning planets into gourmet food? That's a whole new level of bizarre. And calling the planet's core a "yolk" like it's some cosmic egg, and transforming meteorites into rice? My worldview is expanding a lot.

Then I think it will fill my appetite, "thank you for the food."

As he spoke, he grabbed a bowl filled with rice and the planet's yolk—the rice neatly layered beneath, with the molten core-like yolk resting on top, sending wisps of hot steam into the air, as if it had just been freshly cooked by Eliara, the goddess of light herself. Without hesitation, he tipped the entire bowl back and poured the contents straight down his throat, swallowing it all in one swift motion. In the blink of an eye, he had consumed the entire meal.

But he didn't stop there. Astaroth reached for another bowl, then another. In rapid succession, he devoured ten more bowls, each disappearing in mere seconds. Within half a minute, he had eaten a total of thirty bowls, one after the other, without pausing for breath.

I couldn't help but feel a pang of envy. If only I had a stomach like his—one that made me stronger with every bite instead of just getting fat. Now that would be a god-level blessing.

"It tastes so, good than the raw planets that I eat. Thank you for treating me to this delicious meal."

"It's nothing I also learned doing this when I met the God of Wisdom. 50 years back, he told me everything about it."

Wait, I'm feeling something different now. What is this emotion? It's complex, confusing. Wait… is this jealousy? Did it hit me when I heard her praise the God of Wisdom? *Huhuhu, what a childish reaction.*

"But it was really good, and I want to tell you something," Astaroth suddenly said.

*What the actual hell?* I sense something, not an emotion but an expression, like he's about to share something deep. *Wait, wait—he's going to tell her that he loves her? Come on, man! Who falls in love with someone they just met?* Sure, there are those lucky bastards who fall in love at first sight, but this? Not even an hour has passed, and he's diving straight into it. *Is this real life?*

She responded, "Tell me what you wish to tell. I will hear you."

Astaroth hesitated for a moment, then spoke. "The thing is… I don't know why, but the moment I saw you, this deep sense of loneliness I've carried vanished. My singular goal of devouring planets disappeared the moment you appeared in front of me. You make me feel… comfortable. Even though it's only been 45 minutes since we met, it feels like enough time for me to realize something's changed. I don't know what this emotion is, but I'm drawn to it, and I want to understand it more—by staying with you. Is that okay?"

*Whoa.* This guy went from devouring planets to talking about feelings in less than an hour. What kind of cosmic whirlwind is this?
