Devil Slave (Satan system)

Chapter 1121: War Is coming

Athena’s power had been further pushed by the acceptance of Lilith as her master. and now, she was a great Demon existence. Of course, her rank was nothing compared to the power of the Cup bearers.

However, her value laid in something else. After all, Athena had command over the Hell beasts, and even the cup bearers are bound to respect her, because of whom her master was.

Such was the world of power and authority.

Even though the individual themself was not so powerful, the person must be respected as a result of whom they represented.

Lilith had only been back for a short while, but Hell had once again resumed order, and the recycling of souls like it was meant to do.

Before, Athena’s eyes, entities of profound comprehension came to visit with gifts.

Many of these entities had form that the human senses could not detect, much like the eyes could not see all colors in existence. As such, her senses had to comprehend them in a form that made sense else she ran mad, and that was not easy, as Lilith had to guide her through the process.

The world, was truly far bigger than she had thought it to be.

But there was more.

After all, from the way Lilith operated, it was obvious that she was with a plan in mind.

From what Athena had learnt of her new master, the Morningstar had forced Lilith to sleep and then imprisoned her in the abortion pool. before he went for the breaking in to the eighth earth, which was her former world.

However, it was at such a time, that the primordial Demons backstabbed him.

At the same time, she could not help but wonder why this was so. After all, she also got to learn that prior to this, Lilith had actually accompanied the Morningstar all the other times to conquer the primary planes.

More and more questions kept coming into her head, questions that she knew well not to ask, but at the same time, could not help it. after all, for the rest of her existence, she was now bound to hell.

Unfortunately, as obedient as she was known to be, she was also a curious mind, and that had what had led her to the chioef position that she once enjoyed in the Arena under the magistri.

Now, it was raring its head again.

But it got to a breaking point on one day. After all, this particular day, Lilith did something that no one was expecting.

She invited Virgil, Athena and the Cup bearers of the Morningstar as she reached a point in hell. This place was very familiar. After all, this was the ridge that had the glowing purple stone imbedded deep in it.

"I rule the embers of Hell, and the blood that fans his flames are my will. There is none under my roof that will not yield." Lilith addressed them, and then she walked to the edge of the ridge, after which she floated down to the huge purple crystal that looked like a very ripe pimple in the earth.

Lilith placed her hand on it. The Cup bearers were surprised by this, with many of them having concerns on their faces. After all, this was the prison of a Royal Demon family.

This was the prison of the Corpse Leviathan family. The moment her hand touched it, Runic symbols, laws and their formation projected through her will into crystal.

Her eyes suddenly took a dark shade, and the runes that flashed in her eyes were dark and shadowy. She was commanding Shadow runes.

As if sensing the object of their salvation, image of the corpse people like spectral animated abominations of tormented souls rushed to the edge, their growls and cries for freedom filling the entire space.

The last time Athena was here, these growls had tried to tempt her into freeing them, but all that did not work.

"I want to speak with your primordial!" Lilith’s voice echoed like she had several voices hiding in her throat. Yet it did not come from her throat but from the runes that appeared on the Crystal. They acted as a voice for her.

All of a sudden, the many Spectral corpse people moved away from the stone and then after a while, the figure of a being’s face appeared.

"Lady Morningstar!" the voice spoke out. Its voice was low, but Athena could swear that the power in her veins stirred.

"Leviathan! i have a proposal for you. an opportunity at your revenge and possible freedom."

"Hmmm! Freedom. That word is as foreign as the Morningstar’s kindness."

"Don’t be a fool. I know you have tried many methods at your freedom, going even far enough to influence the mortals of the earths. and I must say i am impressed to even hear that your power can even corrupt the devils now. obviously, imprisonment had not stopped the substance of your growth."

Athena’s words were a shock to the cup bearers behind her. After all, they were devils too. although they had not been doing anything of significance all this while as a result of their lack of a uniting leader, but the fact still remained that the Morningstar had created their kind specifically to combat the Dark power of Demons.

It was for this reason that their power was essentially that of corruption.

hearing that demon family was able to reverse that corruption was very disturbing news.

After all, even though Demons now ruled the outer world, there was still a foundational fear of devils and what they were capable of doing. Even very powerful demons had fallen to the will of Devils in the past.

Leviathan gave a light chuckle, "whenever there is will, there is hope."

"Good, I have come with hope."

"Oh really, and what do you want so desperately that will make the most loyal being to the Morningstar since the formation of the dark empire to turn her back against the will of her husband?"

She smiled back at him, "I... have my reasons. Some..." she paused a bit, her eyes betraying a trace of longing for a slight second, and then replaced once more with determination. "—I can’t tell you. But this I can. I want an audience with the Last Mistress. I want an audience with Death."
