Chapter 1519: Lucifer (1)
-----
"YEAAAH!"
Blake's friends roared in unison, there was no longer any doubt in their voices, and even Erdrich, who was afraid of seeing demons being slaughtered and feeling bad, was happy to see that Blake's approach was much more peaceful than he imagined... although he still fought and killed any demon soldier that tried to stop him.
Blake looked down, holding Gluttony tightly with one hand, while Avarice was already equipped, and the Ancient Vampire King within it was also present, watching over everything unfold.
"Let's go!"
FLAAASH!
The Abyssal Pit glowed with black void, absorbing and engulfing everyone in an endlessly spiraling black hole, piercing the dimensional membranes between layers, and pushing everyone even deeper into this dimension.
RUMBLE!
.
.
.
"I'm all alone... I've always have been alone..."
"My entire life... since the moment I was born..."
"Since the moment that my father created me..."
"Since the day I opened my eyes and learned the truth."
"As the Morning Star shone the brightest, as my father created me as the most perfect..."
"All an illusion, there's no true perfection, there's no true happiness, and there's no beauty in this world... only despair, only pain, and the truth... the truth..."
Glowing golden eyes looked at dark ceiling of the seventh layer of hell, as a beautiful blonde man, an Archangel, sat over a blazing throne all on his own.
His divine aura was genuine, glowing beautifully and brightly...
And yet, despite his beauty, there were marks, scars through his body, half of it was scarred, bleeding, endlessly.
From his blood, from these droplets, strange creatures emerged, groaning, with popping eyes and little claws, suddenly turning into imps and other monsters.
His eternal curse, his very blood gives birth to the embodiment of his sin, wicked monsters that cannot love, demons.
"Oh father... why have you left me? why must I be tortured, living in this hellish prison for eternity? I am so tired... no matter how many I kill, no matter how I many souls I eat... it all feels so hopeless."
He slowly stood up from his throne, his beautiful white wings spreading out, as he flew into the skies, a radiant, glowing golden crown emerged above his head, resembling the Morning Star.
"The only thing... the only one... the only one that has given me a spark of... something, of feeling alive... it was him."
He smiled, as he saw a black hole emerge above the skies, where his nemesis finally emerged, after years of waiting, he had finally come to face him once more.
"The truth of all things... he will learn them... and he will understand my pain as well, oh father... And then, we will become brothers... but for that, I must slay him first. I need... to consume his heart. I am so hungry... I need it... I need his heart... the heart of the only one that made me feel something... anything. The only one that had gone out of his way to enter this prison to kill me... Aahhh, how honored I feel, that all my destruction and bloodshed were able to finally find someone like him... father, I bet you never expected this to happen, didn't you?"
He laughed manically, as his nemesis, his greatest foe and his greatest rival, the man that almost killed him, and the man that humiliated him, slowly approached him, bringing along his friends and... even the archdemons.
"LUCIFER!"
Blake roared furiously, only making Lucifer smile even more, no longer there was fear in his eyes, only madness, as Lucifer had been reminded of the truth he had long forgotten, and now there was only happiness in his eyes.
"Oh, Asmodeus! You don't know how happy I am to see you!"
"...What?!"
Blake's eyes widened, as he saw Lucifer far away, spreading his arms to hug him... However, Blake didn't let him get any closer, his Aura exploding, distorting space.
"Oh right... you hate me... hahaha... HAHAHAHAHA!"
Lucifer suddenly started to laugh, grabbing his face. His fingers tearing apart his own skin, his blood bubbling down through his wounds as the entire world around him darkened.
"Oh my dear rival! My greatest foe! My nemesis! I have been eagerly waiting for you! No longer am I troubled with worries, and no longer am I troubled with fear! I only receive you with happiness in my heart, you're the reason I live now."
"..."
Blake felt strange, something had happened to Lucifer, perhaps losing everything he had built so far made him go even madder...
However, Blake felt like there was something else going on.
"So that's Lucifer...! His presence is overwhelming! Like... what is this thing?!" Chris asked.
"I can't even see his appearance..." Elfriedden. "I only see darkness, light... colors...? He distorts reality itself... what is he?!"
"That is Lucifer, God's greatest son, his perfect child, and the Archangel of the Morning Star," Leviathan said. "We were once Archangels as well, but we could never keep our original forms as we fell into Hell. His blood and the miasma corrupted us into these forms."
"What? Really?!" Erdrich asked, shocked. "So all of you were once... children of God too?"
"Indeed," Satan said. "We had other names back then... Lucifer, however, was the one that led us to this revolution. Now look at him, he has completely gone mad now... even madder than before. Grief, pain, and fear has consumed him."
"And yet, he's the most beautiful and the purest..." Lilith said with a gentle smile. "Oh my dear love... How much I have missed seeing your face."
"We meet again, Lucifer," Mammon said. "It seems you're happy to see the man that humiliated you? Have you gone madder now?"
"..."
Lucifer's smile suddenly was overwritten by an angered face, lowering his head, as his blonde hair covered most of his darkened face.
His golden eyes turned red, glowing beneath his hair.
"Shut up... you're nuisances... don't you dare get in the way of my battle against my beloved nemesis... Asmodeus is mine, and mine alone..." Lucifer muttered.
"He's definitely fucking crazy now, yep," Satan nodded.
"Lucifer...!" Blake roared, his Aura growing. "I will destroy you once and for all and end this war."
