Demon God

'Right...I have to have my throne.' Desire thought as he started to get up.

It seems that he was really determined to get to the golden light now after what he realized.

The melody of the voices resounded out in his ears, and it was now...perfection for him.

Right, the annoying voices became music to his ears when he realized what the voices were about.

And it was with this music that Desire...finally started to walk again as he looked right in front of him.

The golden light was still small, and it really looked like a dot, which indicates that the golden light was still very far from Desire's current location.

However, Desire didn't let that distance get to his heart as he just stayed focus and concentrated on his mission.

And that mission was just to walk.

It was so easy that anyone would probably be able to do it.

Of course, the reason why Desire was so focused and concentrated on it now despite being lax about it earlier was because he thought that the golden light was his throne.

And to know that for sure, Desire would have to go there and see for himself.

Of course, that was exactly what Desire planned to do as he kept walking and walking for a long time now.

However, despite Desire walking for a long time now, the golden light from the far distance...was still from the far distance.

Right, Desire wasn't able to cover the distance between him and the golden light at all even though he was walking for a long time now.

It was weird as hell, but Desire didn't give up there as he just kept moving forward.

He kept moving forward with just his newfound confidence of this throne being his.

He didn't feel tired nor did he feel the need to give up. He didn't feel any of those negative emotions at all as he just kept moving forward.

That was how determined and focused Desire was right now.

And it seems that Desire's hard work finally paid off as Desire looked at the golden light.

The golden light became a little bit bigger now as Desire could see it well now.

It seems that Desire was finally getting closer to his destination, and it shouldn't be long now until he is finally able to go there.

However, there was something that made Desire stop walking.

Right, even though Desire was focused and concentrated as hell right now, there was something that made him stop walking.

Of course, that was...the voices that were speaking to him.

No, it was no longer speaking to him as the voices completely stopped saying anything!

They were no longer saying the word throne, and that was why Desire stopped.

After all, this means that there was something new that the voices would speak, and Desire wanted to hear that.

Well, he could hear that well enough even if he is walking, but Desire wanted to think hard about it.

After all, what the voices say next is a clue to his current situation.

And it seems that Desire was right into thinking that as the voices spoke once more.

No, it was no longer the voices, but it was only one voice. Right, it was only one type of voice, and this voice...it was unfamiliar.

Desire wasn't able to recognize this voice even though he was listening intently to the voices that were speaking to him just earlier.

And this means one thing. This voice...was new. This voice wasn't one of the voices that were speaking to Desire.

Anyway, this was what the voice said, "Shshsh!"

The voice then resounded out in this voice and in Desire's ears.

However, Desire...actually had his head tilted sideways as he didn't know what that means.

After all, Desire really didn't know what that meant. Desire knew that there was no word that sounds like 'Shshsh' or something like that.

That was why Desire had his head tilted as he felt confusion in his head.

He was trying to think about it right now and try to get it solved as it might be a clue.

However, it was then that the same voice spoke once more.

"Shshsh!" "Shshs!" "Shshshs!" 

The voice said as it resounded out in this place once more. Of course, Desire was able to hear it clearly without any problems.

That was why Desire was getting confused as hell about it now as he didn't really understand what was going on.

The usual tones of voices weren't there, and there was only one voice speaking to Desire right now.

Desire thought that what the current voice was saying had something to do with that, but...Desire didn't have the time to think about that as Desire saw something.

He saw something emerge at the corner of his vision, and when Desire focused on that corner, he soon saw...a crack.

Right, he saw a crack appear in this dark place where only the golden light existed. No...

'Wait...where is the golden light?!' Desire thought as he noticed that the golden light was no longer there.

The golden light that was Desire's destination, and what he thought to be his throne was gone now!

And it was a fact! This fact made Desire widen his eyes as he looked everywhere! 

As this place was dark, Desire didn't know where he was walking towards or where he came from.

However, it was then that Desire felt something happen to this place.

Something happened to this dark, spooky place, and that was...it started to shake!

Right, the whole dark spooky place started to shake crazily, and it was so crazy that Desire...fell to his bum!

"What!? What the hell is going on?!" Desire said out loud as confusion really overtook his mind now.

Although Desire had the Heavenly Demon Trait, he was not able to keep his calm in this situation.

After all, Desire...finally found something that could possibly make him strong, and it was his throne.

It was his throne as a Quarter God. What's more, his throne as a Quarter God...actually holds a lot more importance to Desire.

After all, Desire would finally be able to find out who he was. He would finally be able to find out what he was.

That was why Desire found great importance on that throne of his.

However, now that the throne...suddenly went missing and the voices stopped speaking, Desire...was lost.

Well, Desire has already technically found out about himself as he now knows that he was a Quarter God. However, what Desire wanted to know was...something more than that.

He wanted to know his substance, what was underlaying beneath his identity as a Quarter God.

That was why...with this shaking and crack that suddenly appeared in this place where he placed his hopes, Desire...finally broke down.

That was why Desire couldn't keep his calm as the whole dark place started to shake ridiculously.

What's more, Desire...could also see that there were more cracks in this place now!

Right, there were so many cracks that Desire thought that it was a glass that was broken by falling to the ground!

It was only natural that Desire wouldn't be able to take all these in one go!

However, that was not all as the voice that spoke to Desire spoke again!

"Dis...guish...guish...guished!" The voice said as it resounded out in Desire's eardrums.

The voice...was actually clear now, but Desire didn't have the time to figure that out as he just looked all over the place with despair on his face.

After all, there was nowhere to hide in this place, and his hands were still locked with the shackles.

Of course, Desire's hands were shining right now as Desire was pouring all of his mana! Right, he was pouring all of his mana to destroy the shackles, but...it was no use at all.

In fact, Desire was pushing his mana so bad right now that...his whole arms were starting to be affected and were bleeding out now.

After all, that was all that Desire could do.

It was then that a huge crack suddenly appeared right on top of Desire as a familiar light entered this place.

Well, it would be familiar as the light was golden.

However, the golden light was too familiar as Desire...could see the whole place break down!

Right, the whole darkness was breaking down like pieces of glass that broke down, and the golden light that invaded this place started to shine brighter than ever.

It was then that Desire could finally see the reason why he felt that the golden light was familiar.

It was because...

"Ohh, distinguished one! I have come to save you!" A voice resounded out in this place as something descended from the golden light shining above.

Of course, that something was someone who was draped in a long coat that was going on forever.

This someone also had multiple colors on his back, and there was literally a golden light shining on top of his head.

Although it was obvious by now, this someone who appeared here...was Gaud, the Sage of the Eight Godly Paths.

"Ohh, distinguished one!"

Gaud shouted out loud as he saw Desire on his bum with a dazed look on his face.
