It was rare that the Demon Lord would separate from her husband, both for pleasurable reasons and another for practical reasons. Each time their bodies were joined together, their powers would make each others grow and if she wanted to fulfill her goal she needed to keep their bodies joined.

But there was the problem it had been years, centuries even, since she had taken the throne as Demon Lord and had won her husband over from the Chief God's side and while her initial burst of power allowed for the initial change and her victory over the skirmish that they had with the deity, she couldn't seem to get as strong as she was then. Despite her powers increasing more and more, she couldn't help but feel like she would never get the power needed.

She had said these concerns on one of the few days she would separate from her husband, to the small group of Monsters that she absolutely trusted. Among them was the Baphomet that was, technically, her adviser mostly for magical purposes. Her kind was always the strongest in the terms of magical powers, from the earlier cycles to even now with many Baphomets even surpassing Liliths.

And is was because of that she had taken upon herself to try and find a way to help the Demon Lord increase her Demonic Energy. The Baphomet figured that it couldn't be that hard, the world was a big place and the original Chief God that had initially created the world surely had to have someway to make the world and setting as it was right now. So she searched, using resources both magical and mundane to do so.

[Scene]

The Baphomet pushed herself off the ground, wincing as her body was covered in burns. She looked at the portal with no small hint of fear.

It was an attempt to find any source of powers, she had used her own magic and allowed it to pick one at random. It was risky but it allowed her to search everywhere, and she meant everywhere. The spell that she had used was an ancient spell from before the current Demon Lord had taken the throne. And the spell that she used was one that was hidden from all but the most powerful of scrying spells to find.

Vast realities with rules and magics that were foreign was what greeted her when she first used it. The portal was more than travelling to the realm of Fairies or whatever else, it seem to reach farther than a spell should. She wondered what could have caused previous cycles to warrant a creation of magic of such caliber.

Whatever the reason was, she used it nontheless. The first few were magics that she couldn't use, the rules of these strange realms were too foreign to be converted into Demonic Energy and so she passed them by.

She kept moving until her magic reached one that could be used universally, it seemed that it was a constant in the the larger realms. She opened the portal to the source of power.

And very nearly died.

If she had to compare it to anything, it had to be Holy Energy. She had gotten into a few scuffles with Angels and Heroes before, and the magic that they had were used against her kind always stung.

But for some reason this was worse, she had merely opened it for the slightest of seconds and the amount of power behind it was more than tenfold of the strongest Angel.

She needed to be a bit more careful next time, lest she die before she can help the Demon Lord.

[Scene]

The Baphomet eyes widened, and a shaky breath escaped her mouth.

The portal was open, but this time she hadn't brushed against death. It was another source of universally used energy, so when she took precautions to defend herself, she opened it.

The barrier that was meant to protect her dropped as her body told her to simply take all of it.

If the last time was Holy Energy, this was the complete opposite. Just like before the only thing close that she could compare it to was Demonic Energy, and like before the energy that was pouring out of it and into her and her world was thicker and much more pronouce.

Just the smallest opening had generated tenfold the amount of magic a Lich could make it her undead lifetime. And the longer she stood by the portal the more of it was pouring into her.

For a moment she simply allowed it to flow, and the changes were noticeable. The magic surrounding her strengthened, the Demonic Energy powered spells around her grew stronger the longer the portal stayed opened.

She smiled, she had found a way to help the Demon Lord.

She didn't seem to notice even as she walked past the many mirrors of the spell room that her previously purple eyes, a sign of the immense Demonic Energy inside her, turned stark yellow.

[Scene]

After the the Baphomet had left the room, the portal was still open and leaking the energy into the world. Thankfully she had made it smaller, only allowing a simple trickle to pass through.

A trickle was still enough.

From the portal a small spark of energy seem to travel out of it, following that was a small trail of darkness that leaked out the opening. There was a moment of stillness, before the sludge was swallowed by the energy from the portal.

The energy swirled around for a few moments before it popped open like a balloon.

In it's place was a small child sized figure. It's body was pitch black in color, save for the yellow dots that were its eyes. Small arms ended with claws, as did its legs. Atop it's head were a pair of antennae, making it look bug like. It's twitched once or twice before it moved.

It left the room, and was free to explore the world that it had just entered.
