Sitting inside his Pride Palace, on his throne, Lucifer End Chaos, the Devil, was facing many dilemmas in his operation of h.e.l.l. Many people would a.s.sume because just because he was the Devil he would not have anything to do or he just sits alone in a dark corner, concocting sinister plans, however that was far from the case. Lucifer was a calm and rational individual who only does things for the benefit of his world.There was little to nothing he wouldn"t do to achieve his goals, but even he had his bottom line, which can not be said about everyone. Sometimes it hard to say who is truly evil from who is good, because mortals are oftentimes more evil than the devil. A devil is only evil because that what they were created to be, a mortal was never born evil, they chose to be.
With his mind filled with thoughts of his world, he came to his first problem; turning h.e.l.l into a Nine Tier Abyss. He knew this was a nigh-impossible task as he would require enough power to split a dimension into nine planes, which even G.o.ds couldn"t do, maybe only his father, a being at the Grand Creator level could. Each plane was like it"s own world with the weakest of the nine planes, able to hold an infinite amount of weak demons. One of the lowest of the nine layers abyss, only beings of DemiG.o.d and True G.o.d power level could reside there. (AN: The nine tier abyss is like a pyramid, the lowest level is deep into the Earth, which is where DemiG.o.d and True G.o.d demons and devils will stay at. The first level which is the weakest is one the surface, which holds an infinite amount of demons. I noticed I have been switching between demons and devils, they mean the same in this story until said otherwise..)
He was amazed because of these aspects of the Nine Tier Abyss, as the amount of freedom and control one would gain over lesser demons would be frightening. With a stronger devil standing in the midst of weaker demons, even without saying anything, they would directly submit to them. Not only that, as a demon becomes stronger, they would gain some strength from the abyss and descend deeper into its depths, gaining control over demons of the level they were once on. This means that the Devil Kings who would be at the lowest level would have complete control over the demons and devils inside the abyss. As a result of the changes that the Nine Tier Abyss would bring, a strict hierarchy would form, and no one would be able to break away from it, unless they were not a demon or devil.
However, Lucifer knew these were all his fantasies on his part, not something that would become a reality for many years or never. He could dream because his world was extremely powerful, as it had 18 Devil Lords who are DemiG.o.ds. These Devil Lords were innately stronger than DemiG.o.ds of Earth because of their cold-blooded nature and the aid they get from h.e.l.l.
These Devil Lords are in charge of the Eighteen Layers of h.e.l.l, which is the prison of h.e.l.l, which can capture even G.o.ds. However, while these figures are powerful, they are incapable of leaving the Eighteen Layers of h.e.l.l inside the True h.e.l.l region. This means while they are more powerful than Earth DemiG.o.ds, they lose the sense of freedom they had in return for their lack of power.
h.e.l.l was one of the weakest worlds, just behind Golden Nation, Heaven, and the Nether World, because of there incapability of leaving True h.e.l.l, making h.e.l.l just above Earth in terms of power.
Another one of his problems was also the 18 Devil Lords. The Devil Lords are currently rusty from not being able to torture and seal any powerful evil souls and would probably be like that for a very long time. No DemiG.o.ds or G.o.ds of the World Tree had any desire to be evil and commit any sins, much less dying and being seal for millions of years.
Not only did h.e.l.l have the 18 Devil Lords, but it also has the Seven Devil Kings who are equal to True G.o.ds. He was the Demon King who represents Pride of the seven deadly sins and was also calls the "Devil". According to legends, he was name Lucifer after Lucifer Morningstar, an ArchAngel that rebel against G.o.d and fall to Earth, becoming a Fallen Angel that was later named the Devil. However, unlike the original Devil, he was the True Devil as he was equal in power of a True G.o.d.
He could not allow pride to control him, instead, he would control it.
The other Devil Kings are Devil King of l.u.s.t, Devil King of Wrath, Devil King of Sloth, Devil King of Gluttony and Devil King of Greed.
Each of these Devil Kings rules over a section of h.e.l.l, except True h.e.l.l which is controlled by Lucifer, which means he controls two of the eight regions of h.e.l.l. These regions are Pride Land, Sloth River, Envy Palace, Gluttonous Earth, Wrath Plains, Greed Field, l.u.s.t Valley, and True h.e.l.l.
Sitting on his throne, he flips through his doc.u.ment, before putting them away. He looks to his right, seeing his wife, Devil King of l.u.s.t, Oliva, who was wearing a pink dress. She has her hand on her stomach showing a protrusion, meaning she was pregnant.
Olive was an elegant woman with a skin tone that was pale pink. Her hair was also pink and drapes down her back like a waterfall. Her eyes were moist and dreamy, which seem to have charming effects. Her lips were crimson red, which was a darker shade of her fondness for pink.
She was wearing extremely revealing clothing that would cause even the strongest of men to have evil thoughts when looking at her. She was wearing a short pink blouse that covers her upper body and right below her breast, showing some parts of it from below. He"d breast were very prominent, as they push out like swords through the paper. One could see her smooth stomach that seems to have a small b.u.mp on it, ruining the otherwise ravishing body. She was also wearing a small skirt that stops at above her knee, showing off her long slender legs. On her back was a pair of black leathery wings, that has pink fumes coming out of it. Overall, she was an alluring woman that could only be stopped by the denses of people.
Lucifer leans back on his throne, "So how long until it"s birth? I can"t wait to witness the merger of two G.o.d-Level Devils. Would it surpa.s.s us and become stronger than a True GoI or would it fail to live up to my expectations?" His eyes gleamed as he looks lovingly at Olivas"s belly, not looking one bit like the supreme Devil. He was more like a normal man who would do anything to help their offspring succeed, even going as far as sacrificing their own futures.
Oliva frowned and shook her head, "I don"t know how long it will take until it"s birth. Not only that, I can"t seem to find it"s gender, which might mean it hasn"t developed to that stage yet. However, it could also mean it doesn"t have a gender." Oliva, while happy to be bearing the child of a superior True Devil like Lucifer, she was truly confused about having a baby, much less, the third generation of the Chaos Family. If she did not carry the baby right and damage it in some way, her life could be forfeited.
Lucifer crimson brows twitched before nodding. It"s understandable that she wouldn"t know much about having kids. She was also probably the first mother inside the World Tree, other than his mother, who will be given birth to a possible True G.o.d. As for the child"s gender, Lucifer was not worried since many demons and devils don"t have genders. They could switch to any gender they wanted, which means true love was in h.e.l.l, which is quite ironic. This means in h.e.l.l, there was no concept of Lesbains and Gays. Anyone could love whoever they wanted without prejudice.
"Don"t worry too much, I will ask mother to help you during labor. She is the only person I can trust with such an important matter." Lucifer said as he got up and touch her belly, feeling a powerful life force that was pulsating and pushing his hands away. Lucifer smiles and forces more mana inside her stomach, but he was a shock to find all of it disappear as a bottomless hole resides inside Olivas"s belly. One must know he has pushed up to Six Tier worth of mana inside but it disappears, this means they were carrying for a dangerous devil sp.a.w.n, which made him chuckle a little.
"This little beast is able to drink my mana like nothing, even with the intense demonic aura it carries. It seems to be more like Devil King of Gluttony Kaquan than us, although I couldn"t sense a reaction from its growth after "eating".." Hidden Pride, his Divine Authority was visible in his eyes as he stared at his child in the womb with expectations. He couldn"t see much, as all he saw was a back orb of meat that pulsating like a heart. The orb was like the one that most demonic and evil beings have, which tied them to a plane of existence, it is also where one gets their names from, which must not be given to orders, less they use it to control one"s movement.
With his Divine Authority of Hidden Pride, as long as someone had even a slight feeling of pride in their hearts, he would be able to control it and burn them to ash. His Divine Authority was indeed Pride, however, that doesn"t mean he had complete control over it. That"s why he fuses his Divine Authority of Hidden Pride and his control over Fire Magic to gain an improve Divine Authority call the Divine Authority of Blazing Pride.
A Divine Authority could be different even though someone could have the same Divine Authority as you. It"s hard for someone to control a main Divine Authority, because of the amount of lesser Divine Authorities out there.
A main Divine Authority is like Nature, which includes Life, Death, Blood, etc. This authority covers many other authorities which is why it"s hard to control. Even his mother who is called the Mother G.o.ddess of Life, Nature and the World Tree cannot control all of nature"s only parts of it.
Life, Death, and Blood are also main authorities that would mean nature was supreme even amongst the Divine Authorities, as even aspects of it were already main Divine Authorities.
A lesser Divine Authority is like animals, bird, fog etc. All these authorities are lesser versions of bigger authorities, main Authorities. To judge to see if an authority is main or lesser one must find out what they can do.
Nature Authority can reshape an entire world, create life and many more, which makes it a main authority. A Pride Authority can only control the pride inside someone"s heart and use it to turn someone into a demon. Because of that, Pride is a lesser authority.
"Darling, I keep telling you to stop that!! If you are not careful, you could hurt my womb, killing my baby!" Oliva looks fiercely at her husband, as a reddish-pink aura surrounds her, blasting towards him.
Lucifer smiles and watches her get mad at him, before stopping and frowning grimly before relaxing."Oliva, I must go, my brother Raul seems to have descended to my world." He didn"t wait for her to respond as his black wings opened wide, taking to the skies.
.
Lucifer couldn"t help but smile as he couldn"t remember any of his siblings coming to h.e.l.l to see him before. No sane person would like to go to such an evil and demonic place like h.e.l.l, as even DemoG.o.ds could fall and become Devil Lords if not careful.
Watching her husband flying away, Oliva signed and left to return back to l.u.s.t Valley. Even though she was carrying the future heir of h.e.l.l, it doesn"t mean she can slack off her job. She was a Devil King before she was a mother after all.
*
Teleporting to h.e.l.l, before he could readjust himself to this foreign world, Raul was a.s.saulted by the fiendish aura of evil that tried to corrupt his heart. Thankfully as a G.o.d, he innately has his Divine Protection active at every moment. So unless it was a powerful attack by a DemiG.o.d and above, he would be safe.
Being the first time in h.e.l.l or outside his world for that matter, Raul looks around his surroundings curiously, finding the place quite different from his imagination. From what he heard, and thought of h.e.l.l, he expected the moment he came to h.e.l.l, he would be hearing constant screams for mercy, however, he didn"t. He also that he would find countless demons reaming around, torturing soul, however, he didn"t.
What Raul saw was a world covered in dark and evil energy that seems to gain actual form. Since he was teleported into the skies from the teleportation gate, Raul was flying directly in a could of demonic energy, making him have a good view of h.e.l.l.
From the skies were he was, Raul notice magma falling down to the ground, creating magma rain. These magmas raim we"re not ordinary as even an unguarded Saint(80) would fall, as the heat they produce was ezrradiomary.
Below him, instead of the seven continents that Earth had, h.e.l.l had one giant continent which was around the combined size of all of Earth"s Continent. This continent was complete black and emitted a dark and heavy feeling.
Because of the size is the sole Continent, Raul pause and almost fall out of the sky, from sadness andslight rage. His father had forbidden him from using [Message] to contact his siblings, which means it would take a long time to find his brother. However considering he had time and with his speed, he calmed slightly as his speed was one of his advantages after all.
Focusing, Raul looks down on the continent again, gaining as much information as possible.
On the continent, he could see many demons, although not as much as he imagined. Even though he saw demons, Raul knew these were only Lesser Demons which barely had enough intelligence to be called a true demon. So if one eliminated them, one would only have a pitiful amount of demons running about, which was sad to see, since the continent was so ma.s.sive.
Raul understood it was difficult for the races even in his world to reproduce and multiple because of how strong his father created them in the beginning. Nature allows the weak to multiple and the strong to dwindle, why? It"s for self-preservation; nature would never allow for strong creatures that could harm it to exist, however since his father broke this rule, the population on Earth has remained the same for many years and only show sign of growth recently.
Focusing on the continent, Raul saw the continent was split into eight equal portions, with a huge monument in the center. Around the area monument, the other seven areas surrounded it, like guards, either protecting or keeping something contained.
He couldn"t see much about the other areas because of the distance. The only reason he could see the monument was because of its size and the fact all demonic energy would disappear from that location, going to the seven areas instead.
Becoming curious about what this monument might be, Raul flew towards it, trying not to attract much attention. As he came closed and closer to the monument, Raul pause and sign feeling uncomfortable in his heart. "Brother, can you stop hiding, it"s making me creep out."
A chuckled was heard as the demonic clouds behind Raul rippled and a handsome devil walks out. The Devil had a smile on his face as he watched his brother curiously, " Sorry about that, my excitement cloud my eyes for a moment.it"s just that, I cannot get over the fact that someone finally decided to visit my world."
"Brother, have you ever thought that they might not want to visit because of the feeling is being watched was nerve-wracking? Not only that, the one doing the watching is the Devil, the Origin of all Evil. Even I was freaked out and you are my brother, let alone strangers." Raul"s mouth twitches as he retorted, feeling weird as he didn"t sense Lucifer until a slight amount of mana leak out of his body. It was only now he realizes what his father felt on Earth, a creepy feeling of being observed.
Lucifer seems to pause for a moment, before nodding seriously, " I will keep that in mind. If I can have others come here, it will open many venues for h.e.l.l, making it stronger. A world visit is a world valued!"
Raul look at his big brother speechless, wonder if be was really stupid or was be acting? Shaking his head, Raul told Lucifer his reason for coming to Earth.
"So father wants to have a family gathering? This doesn"t seem to match his character at all, however, I no, we don"t know him that well either, so who is to say what his real character is? However, it"s a rare occasion with the entire family together, I wouldn"t miss it for the world." Lucifer frowned, but relax his brows soon after. Although he cannot sense the deeper meaning behind the meeting, he was not worried, because scheme and manipulation was not his forte but his little brother Yama. That schemer could find clues and learn new information without anyone"s knowledge, which is frightening.
Not thinking about things he doesn"t have to, Lucifer felt his body and mind relax, almost reaching spiritual enlightenment. Looking at his brother, Lucifer asks, "So Raul, what do you wish to do now? It"s your call, father gave you the order, so if you want, I can lead you to Eighteen Layers of h.e.l.l that monument which you were flying to."
Raul shook his head, "No,I will have to pa.s.s. I indeed wanted to visit it, however, you ruin the mood. You even told me what it is, with a little of of-hand research I would learn about it. I like mysteries which is why I hate spoilers." Raul said as he returns back to the teleportation gate, before turning back looking at the somewhat constipated Devil who was shocked.
Lucifer was furious about his brother"s moody logic, however, he indeed spoils the mood, so he couldn"t lash out at him. Not only because it would ruin his big brother prestige he had held up for ten thousand years. Lucifer while disappointed that his first visitor after ages was rushing to leave, he could only endure and follow his brother.
Stepping inside the teleportation gate, Lucifer and Raul disappear, arriving in the Nether World.
When Lucifer left, almost all demons and devils in h.e.l.l, even the Lesser Demons pause and look up in the skies as if wishing their Great Master farewell, even if for a while, before continuing working.
