Witch's Daughter And The Devil's Son

Isis began, "We all know the previous Deity of Earth committed the crime of returning to the human realm after her trial as a human had ended. Not only did she return, but she also fell in love with the same human and bore a child for him.

According to heavenly rules, such a deity is punished by being cast into nothingness, but the Supreme Lord spared her life, simply stripping her of her title, her divine powers, and sending her to the human realm. Her child was supposed to be perished in her place, as such a child is not allowed to exist.

With the Supreme Lord heading in seclusion to recuperate from the harm caused by the hellfire, as Queen of this realm, she was handed over to me for punishment. But..." Isis sighed helplessly, stopping for a moment.

"What happened?" one of the deities asked.

"But I failed," she continued, her expression apologetic as she glanced at the King and the other deities. "She managed to deceive my angels and escaped with her child before I could punish her. Not only did she escape, but she also went to where the hellfire was kept and stole it."

"How? No one among us can do that," another deity interjected. "Where did she keep it and how was she able to control it?"

"She placed it inside her child's body," Isis announced. "Her child's body is acting as a vessel for it."

"Impossible!"

The deities began murmuring among themselves, unable to believe what they were hearing. Hellfire was something even the King of Heaven could not withstand.

"It's the truth," Isis repeated, looking at Grianor. "And how did she do it? She used absolute darkness."

Another uproar arose among the deities at the mention of absolute darkness. This was something they had always feared the most.

"He...The Lord of Absolute Darkness, he helped her?"

"He is not allowed to. Did he break the rule?" "Did he break the oath he had taken?"

Slam!

The King slammed his hand on the armrest, and the entire hall fell silent. His calm but cold glare fixed on his wife. "Deity Isis, think carefully before you speak."

Isis lowered her head, her face sad. "Apologies, Supreme Lord. I know, despite the Lord of Absolute Darkness is no longer being part of the heaven realm, the Supreme Lord values and trusts Him and has always considered Him a true brother. But what I said is the truth. If this truth has upset the Supreme Lord, I will take it back.

I will say no more and instead accept any punishment the Supreme Lord deems fit for failing to carry out my responsibilities, for not protecting the hellfire, and for putting the heavens in grave danger once more. Please, punish me."

There was silence in the hall as Grianor simply looked at her.

"What are you saying, Supreme Lady?" one of the deities spoke. "We all know you have always tried your best to protect the heaven realm. We want to know what happened so we can resolve this matter and bring back the hellfire."

Other deities voiced their agreement, and Isis raised her head, looking at Grianor, who had controlled his displeasure. He said, "Proceed."

"Supreme Lord, I am afraid I might reveal something even more distressing," she said.

"We all wish to know," he replied, his voice calm.

sis nodded and continued, "After infusing the hellfire into her child's body with the help of absolute darkness, Sierra fled to the human realms. I sent my angels after her and successfully brought her back. I intended to punish her as the Supreme Lord had decided, which I did.

She was stripped of her divine powers, but her child—I could not harm that child," Isis turned to face all the deities, who were listening intently. "That child had hellfire inside her, and we know none of us has the ability to harm one who possesses that power.

I planned to keep that child in the heaven realm as long as her body could act as a vessel for it, and then discuss it with the Supreme Lord upon his return. But she escaped once more. I failed again…"

"Ran away?" Grianor's voice was cold. "Even after she was stripped of her divine power and left as an ordinary earthly supernatural, she managed to escape the grasp of a powerful deity?"

Isis lowered her head. "I know I have failed you, Supreme Lord. But someone helped her, and I could not discover who it was."

"Helped her?" Grianor exclaimed, "Who dares go against heavenly order and help her?"

"I do not know, Supreme Lord," she repeated.

Grianor turned to Soren, "Find out who helped Sierra. The one who did it, need to be punished."

Soren bowed his head, "Yes, Supreme Lord."

Isis continued, "She managed to escape with her child. However, before she did, I made sure that the child would not be able to control the hellfire. I placed a curse on her, locking that power inside her so she could not manifest it."

"You did well, Deity Isis," one of the gods praised.

"I am afraid I am not worthy of your praise," Isis said. "That child has managed to break the curse and can now manifest hellfire if she wishes to."

Another uproar arose among the deities, while Grianor's expression turned serious, understanding the gravity of the situation.

"My angels never stopped searching for them. They found the child again, but now that she can wield the hellfire, she hurt them and escaped once more," Isis added, sounding helpless. "But you must wonder how a powerless deity managed to hide from powerful angels with her newborn powerless child for so long until her child grew into an adult in the human realm. How is it possible?"

"Yes, how did she do it?" one of the gods asked.

"The answer is simple and straightforward—Absolute Darkness," she turned to Grianor. "Absolute Darkness is helping her again and again."

This time, Grianor did not lose his temper and asked, "Do you have any proof of what you are saying, Deity Isis?"

"The proof is lying in the human realm, a proof whose existence no one can deny," she replied.

"What do you mean?" Grianor asked.

"A young dragon, another Lord of Absolute Darkness, is protecting her," Isis said, looking directly at Grianor.

This revelation surprised him and shocked the other deities, drawing out gasps from them. The existence of another dragon was inconceivable.

She continued to look at her husband, who met her gaze, and she spoke, "That young dragon is a child born between the Lord of Absolute Darkness and the previous Deity of Water, Evanthe."

At this, Grianor finally reacted, gripping the armrests of his throne, his gaze filled with various emotions he tried to suppress.

Isis watched her husband, her hands ready to clench into tight fists, but she controlled her reaction. 'Only the mention of Evanthe is enough to shake him. Anger rose inside her. Even after what happened, his heart cannot let her go. I wish I could just kill her.'

While these husband and wife battled inside their hearts, the deities present continued to express their utter shock.

"His child? How can that be possible?" "Did he truly break his oath? He was supposed to live a lonely life in seclusion." "We have always known that He and the Deity of Water loved each other.

Did he betray the heavens for her sake and break his oath?" "If this is true, it would upset the Heavenly Emperor." "By breaking the oath and helping Sierra, is he planning to go against heaven?" "If it is true, then no one can stop Him. He is the most powerful being."

"I request all the deities present here to calm down," Solon spoke.

His words brought everyone back to their senses.

One of the deities stood up. "Supreme Lord, if this is true, what do you plan to do? How are we going to protect the heavens against Him?"

"Calm down," Grianor said. "I will personally look into this matter. I believe there is no threat to the heaven realm. The Lord of Absolute Darkness would never break his oath."

"But what if he truly had a child and…"

Grianor stood up. "I will find out the truth. Until then, I trust you all know how to be patient."

"Yes, Supreme Lord," the deity said, sitting back down. Grianor dismissed everyone, leaving only Isis and Solon behind with him.

"Supreme Lord, what do you plan to do?" Solon asked.

"I will visit Him, and question him personally," Grianor replied.

Isis, who had calmed down after swallowing her anger, turned to him. "But no one can reach Him."

"But the Heavenly Emperor can," Grianor replied and disappeared from his place.

The other two understood that he went to visit the Heavenly Emperor to gain access to meet the Lord of Absolute Darkness, a Devil himself.

Solon bowed to Isis and left, while she remained rooted to her place, staring at the throne ahead.

'In this powerful heaven realm, nothing is mine, not even my husband who has someone else in his heart. I will make sure to sit on this throne one day, and when that day comes, I will need no one. I will show them how wrong they were to belittle a Deity of Desires.'

With her gaze determined, a wicked smile pained on her lips as she turned around to leave the throne hall.
