Return Of The (false) God Of Evil
Chapter 1-Tremble before his wrath.
Bell was tired. After a long day in the dungeon he comes home to rest only for him to be compared to a rabbit yet again.
He was angry. Did he really look that much like a rabbit? He didn't think so. Sure he has white hair and red eyes but that is no justice for the constant teasing .(Bullying as he calls it.)
The boy sulked in his room hiding away from his familia. They knocked at his door and tried to apologize to the sulking boy.
The last knock was from his goddess who apologized and left the boy to his own devices.
His session of angrily hmphing at the door ended when he saw the messenger god outside his window.
" *psst* Bell-kun over here." he said with his ever present mischievous grin.
Bell tried to ignore the calls of the messenger god and his scheming.
The god pestered and pestered. He insisted on not leaving and Bell caved.
"What do you need Kami-Hermes?"
His tone was just as icy and cold as his mood
"I would like to make a deal with you."
"A Deal? What kind of deal?"
"I can see you are tired of the constant harassment of being called cute and compared to a rabbit."
Bell's eyes furrowed as he stared at the god suspiciously.
"Would you like to become scarier? I can make it so Orario will tremble before you."
Bell did not fully trust him. He wanted for the man to continue. Hermes' smile grew wider every second.
"I can help you with a….."
He took a long pause to cause suspense in the boy.
"A MAKEOVER."
Bell's eyes dulled, signifying he was not impressed.
"Come on Bell-kun, why are you looking at me as if I am the largest disappointment in the world."
"Or would you rather have me help you?"
A mysterious voice came from the pocket of Hermes.
The messenger god took out a strange mirror-like device showing a man black hair, with hints of blue and yellow eyes.
The strange man continued.
"All you would have to do is make a contract with me. I have been banned from entering the lower world and would like to see how it has changed."
"What are the conditions?" He asked with confusion.
"There will only be one side effect as to not entirely take over our personalities will slightly merge, meaning you will become like me for a short while."
The boy contemplated the pros and the cons and subsequently accepted.
Hours earlier:
"Erebus it is good to speak to you again." spoke the cunning voice of the messenger god.
"Likewise"
"How is the boy?"
"I never thought you could be such a worry wart."
"Of course I would worry about the boy who houses a part of my soul, he is me and I am him. He is like another child to me."
"WHAT?" the messenger god let out a scream that shook the room.
"Would you like to hear the tale of how my soul split?"
"Yes." The messenger didn't even take a second to reply.
"Well it was 7 years ago when I was sent back to tenkai. The dungeon caused a disturbance to counteract my arcanum and attempted to prevent me from leaving. It succeeded but not in preventing my body from escaping."
The man took a pause for a breath of air and continued.
"It had interrupted the process of souls returning to the upper world. My soul had been split and a child appeared. His soul had split from mine, but it gave off a radiant white glow that was the opposite of mine. He fell towards the ground from the heavens."
'So what Zeus told me was a lie huh?'
"Luckily for me the dungeon did not recognize him, because of the color of his soul and he descended to the lower world. Zeus was lucky enough to be the first to find the boy and took him in as his grandson."
"Now I wish to regain my other half and let us both become Whole again."
The boy had accepted the deal of the god of darkness. The boy fell unconscious for multiple hours under the watchful eye of the messenger.
Over his sleep, multiple things changed within the boy. For one the left side of his hair had turned black and blue, while the other half stayed the same.
His hair had become the perfect example of yin and yang, light and dark. The same could be said for his soul, it housed both good and evil, both lived in harmony and neither overpowered the other.
(You could say he became perfectly balanced as all things should be. What too soon?)
And when he awoke the changes became much more evident. For one his left pupil changed into a vibrant saffron yellow. His voice gained a bit of maturity and he gained the knowledge of his other half. His face became more mature and similar to that of his other self. what's more his personality changed. He was more confident neither shy nor arrogant.
"Oh you're awake. Now that you are one person what should I call you."
"I've regained my memories and know who I am, but I'd still like to be Bell. For once one of your schemes has been helpful, you useless god."
"Ouch I see you've regained your fiery personality."
"Shut it, I'm heading out."
The boy who was now known to be a god left the room, leaving behind the now depressed god.
A murmur left the mouth of the messenger that was too quiet for the boy to be heard.
"Maybe I shouldn't have let you become whole again. Now even Bell-kun will bully me."
Bell walked through the corridors of their mansion.
Bell had a poor sense of direction and even now he would get lost.
Although Luckily for him he spotted his friend, Welf.
"Oi you red-headed son of a bitch, help me will ya."
The man turned around to face the unfamiliar voice who had jokingly insulted him.
*hgghkkk* the man let out a shriek that sounded more like that of a rat when he saw the black hair and yellow eyes of the person.
His face had significantly paled as he stared at the man until he saw the right side of his face.
"Oh bell, it's just you. You scared me for a second. I thought you were Erebus-sama."
Bell chuckled to himself at the irony of those words and started speaking to the blacksmith.
"I decided to dress up to scare some people."
"I didn't know you had it in ya to curse and attempt a prank."
"Now ignoring that backhanded reply help me find the exit I got a terrible sense of direction."
The red headed boy looked at Bell showing his disappointment before pointing at the opposite wall.
"Ahahaha." he laughed nervously and decided to leave to escape the embarrassment.
He wandered the city looking for something of interest. Many shivered when they saw the left side of his face and some even attempted to attack.
A small wooden sword was directed at him but his enhanced perception allowed him to jump back.
His attacker was an elf. More specifically someone he knew.
The eyes of the elf bulged when she saw the right side of his face and she calmed down considerably.
"I'm extremely sorry, Cranel-san, I thought you were someone else. Speaking of which, why are you dressed as that man?"
"I see your ideals of justice have changed. Attack first, question later."
Her eyes widened and then narrowed.
"I don't understand what you're saying."
"Does the question "what is justice to you" ring any Bells?"
"No you're not him. There's no way it can't be. You were banned from Gekai."
"I expected more from you. I believed you would be one of the heroes to save the lower world. But my expectations have shattered and not in a good way."
The girl grew into a wave of incoherent rambling and screamed one last phrase.
"YOU TOOK OVER HIS BODY DIDN'T YOU."
"Oh no honey you're wrong, I am Bell."
(And I am Iron man.)
"Stop lying, it's just a lie. A lie. No It's Just a Nightmare. A nightmare yes, yes. I'll wake up soon won't I?"
"This is no dream Ryuu, I am Bell and Bell is me. We are the same person"
The elf fell to the floor into a pit of despair.
Bell walked away in the direction of the dungeon. while the elf tried to lie to herself.
"This has to be some sick joke"
The words of the boy had been heard by the goddess of beauty disguised as a mortal. Her dreams of finding her fated love had once again been shattered.
(really think I did Ryuu dirty might have to make it up in "Healing Of Broken Souls.")
Bell had arrived at the entrance of the dungeon and prepared to head inside.
Upon entering the dungeon, it seemed silent in his presence. There was no trace of a single monster until he heard the cackling of two familiar voices.
"I see you have returned from Tenkai at last. hahahahahaha"
"Erebus-sama it is good to welcome you back to gekai."
"Oh the all powerful chunibyo and the drunk madman have come to welcome me." replied the bored master of shadows
"Ouch, why are you so cruel to your own son?'
"Frankly you and Hypnos are bigger disappointments than Hermes. Both of you acted like children and called your mother when things didn't go your way."
"Indeed Nyx-sama was an extremely proud and easily agitated woman. She was too easy on them. I can't help but remember when Hypnos angered Zeus and Nyx pulverized him into the dirt."
"Shut up you damn drunky maybe if you didn't drink so much you wouldn't be tricking your own children. Do you still go by Dionysus or do you still use that dumb alias en-ey, en-ya oh i got it enyi."
"Sir, how many times have I told you it's enyo enYO."
"Even when a new hero had already been born from my own soul you still attempt to cause mayhem. You two act like spoiled children."
"But-"
"Shut it. I'm taking over the dungeon from now on. But before I do that tell your children it is wrong to eavesdrop."
Two figures emerged from the shadows and stood next to Enyo.
Bell's eyes widened at one of the figures, a red-head with green eyes.
"Enyo, You really are worse than I thought. You're a complete and utter failure and what's more, a dumbass."
The yin-yang haired god walked towards the blond man and the sound of a slap resonated throughout the room.
The first to react was the black haired woman who quickly put her sword towards the neck of Bell.
"Not only did you manipulate the girl who could have been one of the heroes of the lower world, you manipulated your own child."
"We were not manipulated, we served Enyo-sama under our own free will" replied the red-head.
"Oh really now? Then what is your name, girl?"
"I am Revis."
"Wrong"
The boy pushed the tip of the sword away from his neck and walked towards the red-head.
"You are Alise Lovell."
The god flicked the girl on the head before continuing.
"You were a member of the Astrea Familia."
Another flick met her forehead
"Maybe the name Ryuu sounds familiar?"
One last and powerful flick hit the forehead of the girl before her dulled snake-like eyes gained a small glint.
"Oww oww, what was that for? Erebus-sama is mean"
The girl pouted and stuck out her tongue which was uncharacteristic of her. The blond god started to sweat and attempted to run.
"Oh no where do you think you're going?"
*eeeek* the blond god froze in place at the darkened voice and passive aggressive smile of the man.
Bell walked towards Enyo but his path was blocked by the black haired women.
"And who are you?"
"I am EIn."
"You know you can't lie to a god and drop the alias."
" My name is Filvus."
Bell's eyes again widened at that name.
"You manipulative maniacal sociopathic evil degenerate. You take advantage of your own child and what's worse is that you manipulated someone who went through hell and back. For fucks sake she became one of her experiments."
Bell glared at the blond god.
"Even when she went through all that you still attempted to use it to your own gain. I've learned how cruel gods can be but you, you sir, are one of the worst people I have ever had the displeasure of meeting."
His face turned towards the direction of Thanatos.
"I take back what I said about you being the biggest disappointment, that title hereby goes to this drunk dipshit."
"Finally you were somewhat kind to me."
"Don't expect any compliments, you damn man-child."
"I'm sorry for everything that Enyo did. You don't deserve to go through this. Enyo will just never change, please just try to go back to the surface and live your lives to the fullest. You both have the potential to become great heroes and I expect great things from you."
he took a short pause before continuing.
"Also Alise I hope you can help Ryuu get over her trauma."
He bowed and gave a small smile before dragging both gods to be smited by Her wrath."
I think that's a good place to end things off. Let me know what you think. This is the last thing I write before the Thanksgiving break. I wont be done in by temptation again.
I might continue this if enough people want it. sorry if anyone got any alerts I fixed the spelling errors.
