A/N: So, I will admit I got some inspiration from [Rise of a New Moon], with you all have hopfully read before now. I was originally going to write this as a CG/DxD crossover, but Icy's story convinced me to make Lelouch tackle an Alternate Reality version of his world instead. I may send him to a different universe afterwards though, in a sequel. Oh, and I don't have a beta, so... I'm relying on Google Docs spell-check (Let me know if you see any errors, please & thank you).

Otherworldly Demon

Prelude: A Demon's Demise

"I… destroy worlds…. to… create worlds…"

The last words of the 99th Emperor of the Holy Britannian Empire, Lelouch Vi Britannia, more commonly known as the Demon Emperor. Spoken as he bled out right next to his angel of a sister, who would go on to be known as Saint Nunnally, the 100th Empress of the Holy Britannian Empire.

He say her say something, but he couldn't really make out what it was, probably demanding that he come back… after all, death was hardly an adequate punishment for the sins he had hanging over his head. He felt a sense of grim satisfaction as his vision began to darken. He'd done everything humanly possible to bring about a gentle world for her, and even several things that were beyond the abilities of even the most extraordinary mortals. He'd set all of the pieces up for her to take the reigns, and he had every confidence in her. She was his sister after all, and scarily perceptive on top of that.

Yes, he made mistakes... and done atrocious things to keep his plans operating. He deserved Hell, even he would admit that, so it was fortunate for him that Hell didn't exist.

Strangely, despite the seriousness of his assassination, and the profoundness of it as a point in history, his last thought was an Idle one.

It's almost a pity Hell doesn't exist…. I would likely end up dethroning Lucifer in my first decade there….

And with that, a demon died.

The next time Lelouch opened his eyes, it was with surprise. He had expected to have been assimilated by the Collective Unconsciousness… so why did he still have his individuality and memories?

That was a question for later. For now, priority number one was to figure out where he was. It only took him a few seconds of looking around to Identify the familiar room. It was his bedroom at Ashford Academy…. Despite the impossibility of that. He was dead after all…. But maybe his home in the afterlife was supposed to take after somewhere important to him in life…..

"Not quite."

Lelouch spun around to see something utterly perplexing. In front of him was a women who defied common expectations. She was about an inch shorter than Lelouch, and seemed to be glowing. "Oh? A mind reader? Well then… where are we? I thought-"

The glowing women cut him off, "I know what you thought. That you'd be immediately assimilated into me. And if you were a normal man, that would be exactly the case…. But you're not. As for where we are, this is within Cs World. I possess the memories of everyone who's ever died, and so, for me, creating something like this is child's play."

Lelouch nodded, absorbing that information and sitting down on the illusionary copy of his bed. He asked the question, inspired by her explanation, that was burning inside him- half expecting her to cut him off again. "Well… what's the verdict then? Let me guess: All of humanity doesn't want to merge with me?" It was the most likely answer, after all: the collective unconsciousness, aka: God, was the unconscious will of humanity… and who would want to merge with a Demon?

God chuckled, as she sat down on his computer chair. "Not especially. There are two reasons you have not been assimilated. The first, is the fact that I owe you for saving me from your foolish parents and their Sword of Akasha- and yes, you did successfully use your geass on God, don't let it go to your ego. The second reason, is one of the things humanity has sought after ever since the days of rome. Entertainment. You are the most interesting human I've ever watched… and I've watched all of them. Therefore, I've decided that you are not done… and I don't think you'll mind."

Lelouch reigned in his surprise, because he really didn't think that his Geass could actually work on God, and immediately after that, he also had to reign in his anger. He had watched his mother die and his sister be crippled, killed millions of people, robbed millions more of their free will, made Euphy commit a massacre before killing her, deceived nearly everyone he'd ever known, lost both Shirley in his arms, ruined Jeremiah's life and cost him his body, utterly destroyed suzaku while preventing him from just committing suicide, failed to grant his contractor's wish despite everything she had given him, and even used his geass on Nunnally! And God dared to call that interesting?! Lelouch almost lost it, and almost tried to punch God. He was so close to that line as he said, through clenched teeth, "And what do you have in mind?"

God smiled, "I originally planned on sending you back in time, armed with the knowledge of the future, to give you a literal second chance. But, I decide that would be too boring. I'm going to send you to another world. A world very similar to your own… with a few differences."

Lelouch, miraculously, managed to calm down while she spoke. "I'd prefer the time travel scenario…"

God giggled, and it somehow placed a lump of dread in lelouch's stomach. "I know you would. But that would lead to a curbstomp, and you'd definitely get a happily ever after. But whatfun would that be for me to watch?"

Lelouch gripped his illusionary sheets hard as she once again mentioned his heart-wrenching life as fun to watch. "You are not what I was expecting when I thought of God."

That cursed giggle came back again. "Of course not. I'm humanity's subconsciousness. All humans are selfish and desire cut others down for their own gain. If you think about it, I'm just as human than you are, Lelouch." Lelouch winced at that, acknowledging it in his mind to be true, and then she continued. "However, like a great many humans do, I feel sympathy for your suffering- and that's part of what makes it interesting. Therefore, the world I'm sending you to is similar enough to your own that much of your knowledge will still apply and, despite the struggle it will present you, you will have a good chance at a mostly happy ending there."

Lelouch finally calmed all the way down. God wasn't completely heartless, and he would have a fighting chance at a happy ending. "Alright then. Will anyone else remember this world?"

God shook her head, and stood up. "No, you will be on your own there. Oh, and one more thing…. You won't have your Geass of Absolute Obedience."

Most people would be disheartened to hear that, but for lelouch, one who understood what a curse it was, that was wonderful news. Still, he needed to know specifics, "I won't have my Geass? What will happen if I make a contract with the CC of that world? Does Geass exist in that world?"

God replied quickly, "Geass does exist in that world, and the Codebearers will be the same as in your world… but when you make a contract with CC, you will receive a different geass. One I'm custom tailoring- just... for... you…"

She took a step closer to him, with each of the last three words, until she was less than a foot from him. She crouched down so she was eye level with him, and gave him a quick, chaste kiss. Lelouch fell over backwards in shock, sputtering, as God giggled again. "I think you underestimate how many women thought you were gorgeous…. despite you regularly committing atrocities." She stood back up, and waved her hand in front of her, and lelouch's vision started to darken. "Remember, little Demon, I'll always be watching..."

A/N 2: The only reason the collective unconsciousness took the form of a women was because Lelouch is 100% straight, and there were enough people who subconsciously thought he was gorgeous that the collective unconsciousness wanted to kiss him... and since the collective unconsciousness is genderless, it took the form of a women to not wierd lelouch out.

A/N 3: Review please!
