Chapter 9: What are you the God of?
Gaia and her children stared at the spot Lucifer was standing before he disappeared with the new goddess whom name is Aphrodite.
Iapetus came closed to his mother with a concerned expression "mother we did it, we have finally defeated father, but another trouble is upon us?" Iapetus said when he thought if how domineering Lucifer was just now.
Gaia raised a brow at her son and asked "what trouble are you talking about?"
"The man that was here before, he is the trouble, Mother, who his he? The one to answer was Chronos who did not like the attitude of Lucifer and how he took his prize from him.
Gaia sighed as she knew what was going through the head of her sons "listen to me, whatever happens, don't get on his bad side, he is someone even Ouranos would think twice of offending and you are not a match for Ouranos at full capacity, so I beg you, I don't want to lose any of you, so please don't do anything that would endanger your lives, tell that to the rest of your siblings also" Gaia said as she ran her hands through the hairs of Chronos.
"Well, that doesn't matter anymore, I mean, he is gone, we don't have to worry about him anymore" Hyperion, clad in a blinding light of the sun said when he could not feel the presence of Lucifer anymore in their domain.
Gaia who knew where Lucifer was currently on shook her head "I wouldn't say that, look, all you have to do is be careful not to get on his bad side and everything will be good, especially you Chronos, now that you are going to be the new Godking as Erebus didn't want any part of it from the beginning, so you would want to prove your superiority in front of him, don't do it, just be Chronos around him and not Godking Chronos" Gaia warned them before trying to leave for her domain when Chronos stopped her.
"Mother, what about the things father said before he died, he .. he ... cursed me, he cursed me to have my own children have me disposed and take my throne just like I did his. Mother, we have to do something about it, I can't let that happen, I don't want to end up the same way" Chronos was afraid, afraid of having to fall by the hands of his own children.
Gaia looked at him with her motherly gaze "do not worry about that, just don't do anything, think of what your father said as a dead man's last word" Gaia said as she faded from their sight.
The Titan siblings all left their father's domain after few minutes of rest.
Elsewhere
Lucifer laid bare chested on a bed with Aphrodite feeding him fruits from a basket.
"So you are the Devil, first son of God, the personification of Evil, the lord of Hell, the one who defied his Father" Aphrodite said to Lucifer as she put a grape in her mouth.
Lucifer decided to tell Aphrodite his life history to pass time while he waits for Gaia to show up.
Aphrodite then paused as she wondered something "so if you knew that your father is more powerful than you, why did you chose to rebel? Why didn't you just be like your other siblings and live under his rules? You said it yourself, the one with the greater power makes the rule" Aphrodite said as she didn't understand why Lucifer would do that when he himself knew how crazily powerful his Father is.
Lucifer simply smiled bitterly when he remembered everything before his downfall or should he say, his predecessor's downfall "well, what can I say, I am a prideful being, I can't have someone rule over me, that's how I was made, I was made to be the Devil from the get go"
Aphrodite looked at him and kissed him which Lucifer responded in kind.
"You sure took your time, Gaia, you have some wonderful edibles here but you still have to grow more, we can't only be eating grapes and apples all the time" Lucifer said immediately when he felt Gaia's presence in the room.
Gaia appeared and saw Lucifer and Aphrodite on her bed while eating from precious trees which made her frown in displeasure "get off my bed, and take your new friend out of my domain" Gaia said as she stared down at Aphrodite who also stared back at her.
Lucifer just looked at the two women and sighed "come on Gaia, is that how you welcome your visitors, I expected better from you" Lucifer said as Aphrodite was still feeding him grapes.
Gaia looked at the shamelessness of Lucifer as he did not even budge an inch when she told him to get up "sigh, at least, if you want to stay in my Domain, she would have to leave" Gaia pointed at Aphrodite "I'm not particularly fond of her"
Lucifer smiled at what Gaia said "are you perhaps jealous of little Aphrodite here, Gaia? Well if so, you have nothing to worry about, she isn't a threat" Lucifer while butting an apple Aphrodite fed him.
Aphrodite knowing that Gaia didn't like her much looked at her "I want to ask, lady Gaia, why do you not like me, I mean I was just born a few hours ago and from then till now, I have never done anything to warrant your hatred towards me, is there anything that slip my mind?" Aphrodite asked Gaia using a very polite tone to not give her any more reason to hate her.
Gaia sighed and looked at the beautiful new goddess "what are you a goddess of? Like what do you precede over, what do you feel drawn to? Like me, I am the personification of the Earth, so you must be something, so what are you the goddess of, Aphrodite?"
Aphrodite thought for a while and followed Lucifer's idea of saying the first thing that comes to her mind "I am Aphrodite, goddess of sexual love and beauty" Aphrodite said as her aura became even more defined, her voice can even make gods fall for them, her smile is fatal to even Gaia who was looking at her now but, Gaia quickly came back to her senses.
"Actually, you should also add the second wife of Lucifer, second Queen of Hell, that has a nice ring to it, don't you think Gaia?" Gaia was getting frustrated with how Lucifer is taking all these like a joke, since he showed up, he has never taken anything seriously, it's just as if everything was a joke to him.
Gaia then wondered what type of god is he, is he god of mischief, is that why he never takes things seriously, or is it something else, so she decided to ask him "Lucifer, what are you the god of" Gaia asked Lucifer as she looked at him eye to eye without blinking.
Lucifer wanted to laugh at her sudden question but that wouldn't be fun, would it, so he decided to play with her a little "I am the God of Evil"
