Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The brief interaction between Thanatos and Asylum stopped after Asylum's words. Thanatos merely closed his eyes and sighed, for he knew that the downfall of one started with the show of arrogance, he wasn't arrogant nor that confident to underestimate his opponent unlike the person behind him. It seemed like all of the gate guards have some complex to them that makes them thing they are superior to every individual. He saw no need to speak any further for the man he was conversing with had shown that he wasn't willing to negotiate with anyone or anything, his only option now was to fight him and win.
He turned around and looked at Asylum without batting an eyelash, Thanatos was cunning and cynical, he did what he did to taunt the man into taking drastic actions as he appeared nonchalant about everything even to a point of yawning, He knew it was the highest form of disrespect to do so but he found excitement in watching the man before him get angry and angry from his actions

Earlier when the fight between Hades and Raigulus was still taking place. |The guard sent to inform the queen by Raigulus stumbled and stopped at the castle's extrance, his breathing was hazardous and he tried to catch his breath. He had burned his stamina from running more that two miles from the east gate to the palace. He stopped before the imperial guards at the gate to the palace and looked at them with shivering eyes.“Can I see t-the queen? It's very important, lord Raigulus sent me to inform her of what was going on.” He said with a frail voice, his worries weren't on the response of the gate guards but his leader, Raigulus.The guards nodded as they knew that for Raigulus to send someone instead of coming on his own life usual meant something was up and it needed his attention. The gate guards stepped to the side and allowed the shaking guard inside, once inside the guard ran all the way to the castle

“What was that?” Skyla asked feeling the building shake, She carried her new born daughter and with difficulty placed her on the alter, she collapsed soon after next to her. Her strength had been syphoned greatly by the pregnancy and childbirth, she was powerless to move much more, those subtle movements were the last of movements her body allowed her to make as he had yet to heal from childbirth.“I don't really know but we must get started before anything happens, I'll start the ritual and go to see what was the cause.” Lilianith said and knelt besides Sklya, she cut her hand and sprinkled the blood on the alter and the baby before taking a step back, everything was in order and the sacrifices that were needed were given, she closed her eyes and extended her hands forward.“The great penance let the blood of the king sip into the less blessed and grant her your overwhelming power.” Lilianith chanted, the blood started glowing and t

“We cannot do what you ask of us, we are running late as it is. I hope you can understand.” Thanatos stepped forward and said what he had to say not bothered about the entire platoon behind Morbius and Marquis.“I see, by the power and authority bestowed upon me by queen Lilianith I hereby sentence you delinquents to your executions, for the treason you have committed against the kingdom and the queen.” Morbius declared and once he did, the platoons charged forward aiming to overwhelm the small army in numbers, dragons, wolves and vampires all ready to deliver the killing blow.“They never learn.”“That they don't.”“Celestial body, Dark cloak.”“Celestial body, burning cage.”Thanatos and Hades said in union as they commanded their respective elements, one commanding absolute darkness, the other commanding absolute flames and heat.

The whole room became icy cold after Skyla said those words, the cogs in Lucifer's mind recalled that day, that conversation she had with Skyla on that night. Her eyes dangerously narrowed and her hands tightened into fists, “Aren’t we feisty devil Queen Lucifer? But rest assured I didn’t do anything yet…” those words, she remembered them all and the laugh that followed them.“So this is what you were planning all along.” She said under her breath, her once radiant crimson eyes turning to blood red. This woman, was a degenerate of the worst caliber, she didn't deserve to live after she had took advantage of her husband for power, all because of her selfish desires the entire lineage of succubuses would be erased from existence if it was the last thing she would do.A veil of malicious aura blanketed the room originating from the malevolent looking Lucifer who had a sick grin plastered on her face, h
Abridged Chapter 35: Peace Was Never An Option
It's been six months since the whole return from the underworld saga. In that six months Rogue experienced the joys and the downs of being a father, Aqiel was a fussy little girl who always bore a mischievous side to her, whenever Lucifer left her side she would cry and trash about becoming a bit restless. She literally hated him, or so he thought since she kept crying whenever he held her. In those six months they had relocated to Tokyo since Rogue found a job as a tutor in one of the prestigious schools in the main city, he and Lucifer lived in a simple two storey house and tackled the daily challenges of being parents, plus they were expecting another one soon. Rogue sighed as he placed his coffee cup on the table besides the headlamp which was on, he was grading papers from the mock quiz he gave his class and to be honest they weren't all that bad. Lucifer came up to him after putting Aqiel to bed and hugged him from behind. “Rough day at work?”
Abridged Chapter 36: The Book Of Enoch
Rogue and Shizuki awaited with held breaths as the archangel descended down to their level but not entirely touching down. The ambience of the school parking lot immediately turned to icy cold, far colder than the autumn afternoon breeze. Rogue stepped in front of Shizuki and glared at Tamiel who merely looked at him with his multiple eyes.“Rest assured son of Chronos, I came here not to issue violence but to give warning, a warning you should heed and hold close to the heart.” Tamiel said telepathically making his words known to the two of them.Rogue didn't relax his composure but was intrigued at what the Archangel said, he came here to warn them? What could be so important that the archangel himself decided to come personally to issue out the warning, is it because it had something to do with the second sovereigns?“What’s that you wish to warn us about?”“That girl there besides you, is far more than what she seem

With Shizuki, the lass laid down on the bed and breathed a sigh of relief as she allowed herself to rest comfortably, she never knew the Strifes would be such kind and welcoming people, but who were to blame her? She just met them today and mysteriously she got welcomed in the home.Shizuki closed her eyes allowing the soft mattress to ease away her worries and land her in the land of dreams, where everything was how she wanted it to be. However, immediately as she closed her eyes she saw a blinding light and looking closer she saw the spirit of the high priestess standing before her.“High Priestess Lenora, I thought you died, so happy to see you.”“Shizuki, I did die. What you see here is a remnant of my spirit residue I sealed inside of you when I gave you the book.”“Oh, I see...”“Fear not child, for we are with you in spirit remember that. Oh I came here to tell you something, something I should've to

A flash of light followed those words and where it was, stood a being that could be considered divinity, radiating immense light that restricted Visage of him. Wings pale as snow folded behind his back.Lucifer glanced at the light and gritted her teeth, she knew just who the man was and how powerful he could be when it came to it. She cradled baby Aqiel and glared daggers at the entity.“Michael, one of the four archangels what are you doing here?”Michael grinned, and clapped his hands at Lucifer's ability to recognize old faces. “Lucifer, I see you haven't changed since back then have you? Now as for why I came here, where's Shizuki.”“I figured that was your primary objective, it's not everyday the strongest Arcangel descends down to earth from his heaven...” Lucifer replied taking a short pause, a smirk gracing her face. “But what you seek, I cannot offer you.”“Interesting.” Michael

Light showed itself at the end of the tunnel, Rogue spent time looking for the exit but at long last he had managed to leave his subconscious. When he opened his eyes, they were resilient, beaming with power and it was then he finally understood why he needed to subdue those two. As the bearer of bad news, Ein's willow hovered close to him and gave him a message that infuriated Rogue to the brim. “Your daughter is gone and your wife has been placed in a suspended Animation.” Rogue’s eyes dangerously narrowed and his borrows furrowed, veins emerged on his hands and Metaphysical Essence erupted from the pores on his body. “Who took her?” His question was subtle and had a dangerous lingering tone at the end of it. “Chronos emissaries, conquest and Death.” Without further notice, Rogue flashed out of existence. He teleported from the sanctuary and appeared in his residence premises in Tokyo. When he appeared, many people were already at the scene includin

Rogue stirred awake. His head was whirling around, he got up from the bed and held his head. “What happened?” his memory was foggy, he could remember glimpses of what had happened but it wasn't that concise.“You got your ass kicked.” Vinshi replied from the door folding his arms. He strode to Rogue's bed side and sat on the chair that was in front of Rogue.“As much as I hate to admit it, your father was right. You aren't strong to a point of being able to fight Chronos much less his emissaries, you lack power Rogue and if I were you, I'd take his suggestion.” Vinshi enunciated, his words hitting Rogue like a pile of bricks.Rogue knew he was weak even with his versatile repertoire of abilities. He leaned his head back and sighed deeply, then looked at Vinshi again. “Do you think I can defeat them?”Vinshi sighed as well, to be frank he didn't think Rogue at this stage could defeat any of the emissari

The whole house immediately quieted down. As if the sovereigns were not enough now another legion could possibly be knocking on their doorstep, Rogue nodded and folded his hands leaning back into the chair he was sitting on. “So father, how strong is Chronos according to you? Could I beat him at my current level?” He asked, eyes meeting Ein head-on, Rogue wanted to know how far he could take Chronos before defeating him.Ein listened tentatively and as soon as Rogue concluded his statement, he shook his head. “You are quite weak even now. Don't get me wrong if you had gathered all the ten keys it might have been a different story but you only got eight or nine if I'm not wrong.”“Then what do I need to do to get stronger? I need the power to protect everything dear to me.” Rogue replied, his face unyielding no emotions. He was prepared to go to hell and back for his family and he would drag everything threatening his fami

Footsteps heavy as a sledgehammer trudged across the countryside of Hiraizumi, the winds were fierce and they tossed every granule of sand asunder. “Seraphine,” vocals belonging to a man reverberated in the atmosphere, blending in nicely with the ambiance. His silhouette emerged from the obstructing cliff and he took a stand on top of the hill. Dark bristle swayed with the call of mother nature, mystified oculars took in the scenery of the town and a chuckle soon followed after. He was back where he started, after more than ten long years. Seraphine hummed a tune to herself unaware of what was about to occur, she paused as she grabbed the plate and looked at the ceiling above, “I miss my son.” she whispered to the air and her eyes dropped a bit, expressing the sadness that was digging a tunnel inside her heart. Day in and day out her son was fighting against the forces that were out to end his life. Unbeknownst to her, a tear slipped down the right side of her face, she went

Rogue grinned as he heard that roar, he raised his hand and a key manifested on it before it was absorbed into his entity relishing in the grace of the power it unlocked and returned to him. The satisfaction of being partially whole again made him antsy, and he couldn't wait to use his power, starting with the abominations forged by Azathoth. His middle finger and thumb touched and with a snap, Rogue utilized an advanced reality warping ability along with Omni nullification and he immediately wiped all the forces from existence leaving only him and Azathoth facing one another.Azathoth seeing how Rogue easily dismantled Nave and his creations, knew that he was not a foe to be truffled with and taken lightly. According to his observation Rogue was on par with the Ymir and THE HEADLESS HORSEMEN, that Chronos kept by his side. Giving half into this fight would only endanger him, as such he had a choice and he chose to go all out, destroy everything in his path just to dest
Abridged Chapter 46: Turning Point
Rogue's morphed eyes did not falter as he stared at the pooling abominations, it seemed as if Azathoth wanted to make a grand entrance, Rogue did nothing to stop that. After all, a father must honor his child's stupidity. He pocketed his hands, sighed and looked back at a bruised and battered Nave with a sophisticated grin. The chess pieces were already at play, and he was a single move away from checkmate. As such he wanted to savour the victory, even if it meant he should allow the idiocity to continue.Nave seeing the composed look on Rogue regardless of how many he faced at the moment, started to feel a sense of unease and become angry... What gave him the right to act all smug before them, he and Azathoth were most notorious deities ever to exist and this beat was looking down on them. “You dare look down upon us as if you have attained victory?”Rogue nodded, showing Nave that he was positive that he had victory in his grasp. “Yes, I do. Now the

A few days has gone by with Rogue training intensively to unlock a majority of his powers, along the way he had managed to unlock some of the deviants of the celestial dragon god that sent him back in time. He knew he could summon souls of the monster he defeated back to fight for him and that made it easier for him to fight a horde of armies without his Hell manipulation.Currently Rogue was leaning on the door of his room, he had seen his father go to sleep earlier and knew it would be another hundred years before he could awaken on his own. It happened to be that, the day his father went to sleep was the day Nave insinuated a large scale war against Ymir, that was the day Ymir disappeared as well.“Katrina!” Rogue shouted and the person he called came hurrying to his side, she was afraid that he might be crossed with her and humbly bowed to Rogue.“My liege”“Assemble the g
