Blade of the Goddess

"Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!" Malrox slammed his squid-like hand against his table, cleanly snapping it in half. He was recovering from some injuries he had sustained protecting his territory from the moon fragments, which had completely decimated the place.

"What happened?! How the fuck did the moon fall out of the sky?! Is the world coming to an end? Did the Will of the World die? What the fuck is going on?"

Since Archdemons were a higher level of being, they knew about the will of the world and how the moon was connected to it. This meant that if the will was dying, so would the moon.

"I-I'm not sure, sir. We've tried to analyze every possible phenomenon that could have made the moon fall, but we weren't able to come up with anything. It's as if someone pushed the moon towards the world." A servant informed him.

"Do you know how stupid that sounds?!" Malrox yelled. "The best you could come up with is that someone pushed the fucking moon? Do you think anyone would believe that?"

"N-No, sir."

"Why the fuck would you even say such a stupid thing?"

"I'm sorry, sir."

"Fuck! Bring me your wife and daughter."

"P-Please spare my family! I'll look into this more and find out the reason why the moon fell! Please!"

"I'm not going to kill them if that's what you're worried about."

The servant sighed.

"I'll just fuck them until you come up with a better answer than 'someone pushed the moon.' Who knows, you might be a stepfather and a granddad by the time you finish."

The servant lowered his head, clutching his fists in anger. "Y-Yes, Lord Malrox."

Just as the servant left the room, a massive explosion destroyed Malrox's estate, killing every demon at the High-ranking stage and below in one swoop.

'I know Zion is behind this. I can't believe he is crazy enough to destroy the world to get what he wants.' Elowen smiled, her red skin shining in he sunlight as she drank a demonic cocktail.

"My Lady, this mysterious barrier protected us from 95 percent of the moon fragments, but we still suffered some destruction. Luckily, all the citizens are okay." A maid informed her.

"That's good. Spend all of our resources rebuilding the destruction that was caused during this time. The people are our top priority."

"MY LADY!" A messenger barged into her room. "Urgent news! Lady Lilith is attacking Lord Malrox's territory!"

Elowen smiled. "It's about damn time. Inform everyone that we will not be doing anything. Keep it as it is and don't bother with anything else. Lilith won't attack us."

'This will be my gratitude for protecting my people, Zion. Hehe.' She already knew Lilith and Zion were working together, so this was her way of paying them back by not doing anything.

"Lady Elowen never does anything when the demon world is in a crisis or goes to war." The messenger whispered to the maid.

"I know, right?"

"I heard that, by the way."

"EEEEEKK!"

Vorzathior was scraping rubble off his furry arms as he surveyed his territory. Thanks to his overwhelming strength, he was able to fend for his home with minimal effort. But even that wasn't enough to stop all of the moon fragments from destroying the place.

Around 70 percent of his territory was destroyed. Luckily for him, those were the least important places, at least in his eyes. He protected his estate with all of the other important demons who serve him, but even then, their homes and estate still got damaged somewhat.

The only good thing was that the 30 percent didn't have any casualties.

"Are the other territories experiencing the same thing?" He asked his long-time friend who was his right-hand man.

"Yes, my lord. However, I did find one thing odd."

"Explain."

"Lady Elowen and Lady Lilith's territories, which were also bombarded with moon fragments, weren't destroyed. Lady Elowen did suffer some damage, but it's so minimal that you wouldn't even notice. As for Lady Lilith, well, she suffered no damage at all, not even one bug died."

"Hmmm." Vorzathior narrowed his eyes as he thought about why this was the case. "Could they be behind the moon falling? Maybe it was an attack?"

The right-hand man shook his head. "No, I doubt that. Confirmed sightings show that Lady Lilith was holding back the fragments to protect her land. However, here was a barrier that shielded the place and some weird magic that helped blow up the fragments."

"Our barriers failed to stop the fragments, so how did her's prevail?"

"I'm not sure, sir."

Vorzathior nodded. "There definitely is something suspicious about-"

Vorzathior pushed his friend aside and protected him from a colossal explosion that occurred right above them.

While the explosion was nothing his power couldn't handle, he could still feel just how powerful it was, enough to even crack his barrier.

"We're under attack! Prepare our forces!"

"Yes, Sir!"

"FUCKKKK!! DAMMITT! FUCKING DAMMIT! ONE JOB! THEY HAD ONE FUCKING JOB AND THEY BLEW IT!"

Azmorath was destroying his office in a fit of rage. Word got back to him that Zion had defeated the dragons, and Zynoth did absolutely nothing during his stay in Hylaea.

"M-My lord. Should we give aid to the people?" A servant asked

The archdemon glared at the servant, his red eyes piercing through the man's soul.

"Why are you speaking?" He asked

"My apologies!" The servant slammed his head on the ground to show his respect and apologize.

"Azmorath. Azmorath, you stupid demon! What happened?!" Karyndra shouted

"Don't you put this shit on me, Angel! How the fuck did the moon crash into the world?! What kind of war is going on in the upperworld for that shit to even happen?!"

"Us? Ohh no, that wasn't us! Our way was put on pause because the moon fucking destroyed tons of the upperworld, and a lot of angels died on both sides! I know you were messing with the Nexus pool, so I came to you to see if this was caused by that!"

"You think I did this? How dare you!"

"My lord! Urgent news!" A messenger rushed into Azmorath's office.

The archdemon was not in a good mood and instantly choked the messenger by controlling the blood in the man's body.

"Your news better be so important that I'll forget about your stupid little life, having you live another day." He warmed, his vampire eyes on display.

"Z-Zynoth sent a-a crystal ball! H-He said he has information f-for you!"

Azmorath dropped the messenger and took the crystal ball. On it was a magical imprint of the battle the dragons had against Zion. There, it showed that it was he who blew up the moon.

"That slimy human bastard!" Azmorath crushed the ball out of anger.

"T-That's not all, my Lord. Lady Lilith has declared War!"

Just as he announced that, a bomb blew up the place.
