Devil Slave (Satan system)

Chapter 999: Demeter’s Helplessness

Loki hovered just above the core of the earth, a wicked smirk twisting his once-godly features. His entire visage was a dark, menacing transformation of his former self. Clad in full demon armor, the black and crimson plates fitted perfectly over his muscular frame, each piece etched with infernal runes that glowed with a sinister light. The armor bore the mark of the Abaddon royal demon family on his chest, a symbol of ultimate power and corruption.

The mark itself pulsed with a dark energy, its intricate design resembling twisted thorns and jagged edges, exuding an aura of malevolence.

Loki’s face, was contorted with malevolence. His eyes glowed with an eerie, otherworldly light, a mixture of red and black swirling within his irises. His skin, pale as moonlight, contrasted sharply with the dark armor, and his hair, once flowing like spun gold, was now a chaotic mane of shadows, almost as if the darkness itself had claimed it.

Below him, the giant rune on the core of the earth shimmered with power, a testament to the Lenny family’s authority over the planet.

The core was a massive, glowing sphere, radiating a brilliant white and red light that pulsated with the rhythm of the earth itself. But now, the black, viscous entity known as Despair spread across its surface, like ink attempting to blind a bulb. Despair’s presence was suffocating, its oily tendrils creeping over the rune, trying to extinguish its light and wrest control away from the Lenny family.

Father Black and the rest of the Lenny family stood on the ground, their faces filled with a mix of anger and determination. Father Black’s voice rang out, echoing in the vast chamber. "Loki! How dare you?"

Hovering in the air, Loki turned his gaze downward, his eyes locking onto the Lenny family. He snickered, a sound that dripped with contempt. "So, you finally came. And here I was, thinking that I would be able to consume the core before you noticed and then I would have used the earth’s authority to send you pests out."

Despite his confident words, he was actually really surprised as to how they had figured out his plan. After all, the only reason, the emotional entity known as Despair had been gathering her power on the earth was for this moment.

The plan had been an easy one. Because of despair’s unique nature, the core of the earth would not send messages to the lenny family, because the core itself would feel despair and helpless.

This feeling would be there until the rune mark of the lenny family would be totally destroyed, and then Loki would place the Royal Mark of the Abaddon Demon Family on the Core.

Loki smiled, at father black. One look at the Regent and he could instantly tell that he was the one that had figured out his Plan.

"Not bad, Boy!" He complimented Father Black, "you know, by the time i am done here, I would not mind your assistance in My demon family. One such as yourself is wasted talent in this place." he presented a hand to father Black As he drew closer.

However, what met his invitation was a fierce attack from Victor.

Victor had instantly entered his Werewolf form. Unlike before, his Red fur now had traces of white peppered around it, evidence of the Holy power that he now possessed.

His Claws, once obsidian, now glowed with a taint of Holy Power.

the attack on Loki had hit squarely.

*DUM!*

However, Loki had raised a hand to block the attack with his forearm.

This he had done successfully. However, Victor added more pressure and to Loki’s surprise, the Werewolf’s claws actually dug into his armor like squeezing paper.

He raised his head to Victor in surprise. "you are the youngest, but I see you also have talent.

However, another attack came for him.

This time around, it was a fierce Kick that hit right in the face.

*BOOM!* Loki tumbled in the air as he smashed into a rock.

The person that had given this kick was none other than Morgana. "You guys, go stop that entity! We will handle the Pretty boy." she immediately barked.

Father black looked at the others and they nodded.

Victor, and Morgana took a fighting stance, while, Crusher, Perseus, Father Black, and Insect-B turned towards the entity.

However, just before the battle would begin, Father Black turned to Insect-B, "We have demons and gods fighting in our home. There is no one on the surface. I need you to go there, and supervise what happens up there."

"But, you need all the power you can get down here!" she protested.

"Exactly, but we will not exibit foolishness and place all our eggs in one basket. Loki is a very cunny, they might be Traps up there, besides, there is no one to protect Nikky and the others."

On saying this, Insect-B reluctantly opened a portal to step through. However, the portal was shaky. father Black saw this. he frowned. he knew what it meant. Their connection to Demeter was faulting.

However, this was not time to think about that, "Go!" He ordered and she forced her way through the portal.

Father Black looked ahead as his mind tried to figure out a way out of their current predicament. then agian, there was no time.

He waved his hand as he gave the order, "Attack that entity." Without wasting any time, the remaining members of the lenny family attacked, sending waves and waves of Holy power against the entity.

The attacks made sizzling sounds on connection. However, it was not just enough.

Souls of people mixed up with the dark viscous liquid stretched their hands screaming eerily for help.

These were all people that the entity had consumed. Each one of them pleading for help.

Father Black frowned at this. As the most connected with demeter right now on the plane, he could instantly sense what was going on.

It was these souls. Despair was using the souls of the Despaired that she had consumed to attack the earth’s core. This was the true reason that the earth could not fight back.

It was like throwing punches to your face using your own hands...
