Chapter 1428: The Fury Of An Archdemon
-----
Within the depths of h.e.l.l in the Layer of Greed, the powerful Archdemon of Greed looked into a bubble before her, showing the Ream of Helheim. Kireina just now died. The clone in here seemed to have said "I"ll come back soon" and disappeared into ashes. Rimuru"s close was kept in here, but she was in silence, as her mind was concentrated in her main body back in Genesis, so she couldn"t contribute to the conversation.
And Mammon was left… rather speechless. She couldn"t believe Kireina just said "I"ll come back soon" and then just… f.u.c.king die!
"What… WHAT THE f.u.c.k JUST HAPPENED?!"
The bratty and effeminate Mammon began beating the floor with her heels, as she started to kick his throne until he completely tore it apart, tears began flowing out of his eyes as she gritted her teeth angrily.
"KIREINA JUST DIED?!"
As Mammon was not Kireina and had only been merged with a part of her soul, he didn"t disappeared or something, but he had already grown so fond of her after spending literally every single day with her other body in here that when she just went away it was way too sudden.
In fact, Mammon was already beginning to develop romantic feelings for the c.o.c.ky and provocative fairy, and she was having a nice time deep down at her side controlling the ma.s.ses of demons while she gathered h.e.l.l Points.
And now all of it was… just gone?
"Mammon-sama, please calm down for a second!" Cried Plutus, the giant G.o.d tried to calm down Mammon, but Mammon was having a tantrum, he kicked everything and punched everything, the entire castle made of gold began to tear itself apart piece by piece.
BOOOM!
BOOOM!
BOOOM!
"That f.u.c.king Hel! How dare she just kill her like that?! UGGGGGHHHHH! And even her clones disappeared?! This only means… Her Origin Core was destroyed! S-She"s… gone forever?! No… NOOOO! After al the corny stuff she always say to me… You can"t f.u.c.king leave me, you… you b.i.t.c.h…!"
Mammon fell into the floor, hitting it with his little hands, as tears continued to flow through his eyes. Not in all of history an Archdemon has cried for someone before… Mammon was already someone too changed by Kireina to be considered a normal archdemon. He was showing off his weakness… but he seemed to not care.
The impact that Kireina"s disappearance caused to him was strong, and a rage was quickly beginning to emerge on his heart, he wanted revenge… He didn"t cared about limitations… He didn"t cared about boundaries… Hel had to pay, and all of her stupid skeletons.
"Kireina must be somewhere, even if she died…"
Suddenly, Rimuru"s second body in Hel finally spoke. Mammon fell silent.
"R-Rimuru…" He cried, as Rimuru walked towards Mammon and gave him a hug.
"Calm down…" She sighed, caressing Mammon"s head. "I know it"s painful… Mammon."
"Sniff… Kireina…! Kireinaaaa!" Mammon continued to cry like a baby, as Rimuru contained her sorrow and petted her head.
"Mammon, calm down and focus… Try to recall the divine connection you made with Kireina." Said Rimuru.
"D-Divine Connection!" Said Mammon, as his eyes suddenly opened wide.
"Ah!"
A thread… a golden thread was leading somewhere. The divine connection that any being above G.o.d-realm could make with another to visit each other"s divine realms and also know the other"s status… the thread that connected Mammon with Kireina… it was not broken.
Somehow, even without her Origin Core alive, even with her soul completely gone, even with her body destroyed, even with everything gone… Kireina was somehow still "there" alive, somehow.
"W-where is she? She"s… nowhere… within this Universe!" Said Mammon. "Yet…"
"Yet she"s there, isn"t she?" Sighed Rimuru, smiling warmly.
"Hm…" Sighed Mammon. "Ugh, I can"t believe I got so… broken by seeing her just disappear… d.a.m.n Kireina, she really just got my heart and doesn"t want to let it go, huh?"
"Haha, I know how it feels…" Sighed Rimuru. "She"s really someone that steals your heart~"
"Right? Right?" Sighed Mammon. "I"ve never experienced these feelings before. I was always a being covered by selfishness and avarice. Since I was born by the grace of The One as an archangel that I always found beauty in material goods… But now, I find something even more precious that my greed wants… I really want her back…" Cried Mammon.
"Let"s trust her, Mammon!" Said Rimuru. "I am sure she"ll come back to beat everybody"s a.s.ses!" Said Rimuru.
"W-Woah, you"ve grown rather strong-willed as well, Rimuru…" Said Mammon, cleaning her tears, as Plutus looked from behind in silence, he seemed to smile a bit and sighed in relief things went well. Rimuru was a lifesaver, Plutus sucked at dealing with broken hearts.
"Of course! I"ve inherited Masta"s will… and her powers." Said Rimuru.
"H-Her powers?" Asked Mammon.
"Before she died she did something incredible… She teleported all her Divine Realm into my own and fused it with mine flawlessly. I inherited almost all her attribute particles, divinities, skills, even her path jewels…" Sighed Rimuru. "She knew I was the only one that could become the recipient to her powers…"
"I-incredible… then you carry on her powers too?" Asked Mammon.
"Yeah… I am sure she"ll come back, let"s have faith together.. But for now, we cannot stand still and do nothing, right?" Asked Rimuru. "We have to beat some a.s.ses until she returns… We"ll kick those skeletons bony a.s.s and go f.u.c.k that Hel!"
"Yeah, we"ll go f.u.c.k her good!" Said Mammon while smiling maliciously. "The Demon Towers are already growing big… I"ll pour some of my h.e.l.l Points to make them mature quickly and I"ll go with an army there soon, count on me, Rimuru!"
"R-Really, Mammon?"
"Yeah… I"ve realized there are just treasures more important than others…"
Mammon who was always stingy about everything changed; he was willing to sacrifice his wealth in h.e.l.l Points to help Kireina"s allies overcome the challenges within the Realm of Helheim. The towers that Kireina set up previously were already growing bigger, and as he poured h.e.l.l Points into them… they continued to grow even bigger.
Soon, he"ll be able to step into Genesis with his own army of demons.
"Wait for me, Hel…"
