New chapter! whoop! I did just move house so sorry for not getting this out sooner!
The four of us marched forwards, serious expressions marred our faces, shadows loomed over our features...
Well, maybe that would be the case for the siblings and Oleg. I was just lazily walking in front, a laid back smile on my lips.
As we walked, I was spinning a coin above my hand, training my Telekinesis because of the boredom.
Of course, we met a few people who wanted us dead, but...I may or may not have allowed myself to be shot a few times.
And by a few times, I mean...
You have been shot...and survived! You have gained 1 END! x35
Okay, maybe I got shot a lot. Don't look at me like that! How was I supposed to know one of Oleg's clones had a Minigun!
But at the same time, because I hit 100 Endurance, a strange screen popped up.
One that made me grin with glee.
You have reached 100 END! You have gained 2 Stat-Perk Points for END!
From what I could tell, each stat has Perks specific for that. So its inevitable that I will eventually get 2 Stat-Perks for Intelligence, or Charisma.
And because I missed out on my milestone of 50, as I was 'born' with that much strength, it seems to have carried on for this achievement.
The perks were...incredible, though I picked 2.
[Re-headed]
You can survive being decapitated, even if that means every single atom in your face has been destroyed, you can still regenerate.
[Regeneration of the Lost Immortal]
There is nothing that can stop your Regeneration. Whether that be Holy Water, Demon Swords, or anything Alchemical. You have stepped your first step into true Immortality.
Hahaha, yes! This is amazing! Honestly, I don't know why these perks are so low on the list. But I sure as hell ain't complaining.
Yeah, I'm not Immortal just yet. But I will be, soon, one day.
Immortality...Godhood. It sounds-
"What just happened to you, Sir Morningstar?" Oleg's voice cut me off of my thoughts, and I turned to him.
Raising a brow, I responded. "What?"
The giant was quiet for a moment, as if he was debating with himself to say something.
But then he spoke. A bit hesitant.
"I don't know...you just, ah- I am a Demigod, you see. I have unique abilities because of my Divine Mother. And, and I can just tell something about you changed."
Hm. Powers from Athena? But what would that even look like. All I can think of is Super Intelligence, but maybe he can sense me?
Not just in a magical sense, but perhaps biologically? Athena is the God of Tactical Warfare, it wouldn't be so far out of the picture to imagine Oleg having some sort of ability to determine the powers and threat level of somebody else.
In fact, it just sounds like a shittier version of my Observe, though it might be a more passive ability.
The fact that he doesn't know what changed, but that something did, leads me to believe that it is indeed a vague sense, but one nonetheless.
Huh...maybe I should be a God of Wisdom, if I just thought of that. Hahaha!
"It's fine. You'll probably feel that a lot, big guy. I'm just...regaining old powers from before I died, y'know?"
The Son of Athena hummed at my words, thinking for a moment before nodding. Ah, he definitely didn't believe me there.
I almost forgot about that Trait that makes me shit at lying.
And then he smiled.
"What was...after, if you don't mind me asking. Is there a Heaven and Hell for Immortals like us?"
At those words, I froze up.
I was reminded of that Void, that madness that was brought upon me until Chloe saved me.
However, in that moment, I also remembered Lucifer's afterlife. And all I remembered darkness.
Blackness so void of anything it was...
I shuddered out a sigh, it wasn't as bad as my Afterlife, with it just being Void, and not the manic illusions I went through, but being trapped in a world of shadow for what felt like thousands of years,
The only solice was that I met father there-
I blinked. My hand was hovering over my heart, clenching tightly against my skin. And my body was shaking.
"Hah...the afterlife for people like us is shit, Oleg."
My eyes conveyed nothing but sadness as I looked at the Giant.
He sighed slightly, but nodded as a grim look settled over his lips, "I understand."
Suddenly, my hand was being pushed into a pair of some squishy balls, or rather, breasts.
Glancing down slightly, I saw Shaundi pushing herself against me, and I couldn't help but smirk, even as I 'stiffened' slightly.
"The afterlife? It's real? Where will we go when we die?" Shaundi excitedly pointed at herself and Johnny.
Tapping my lip, I grinned. Remembering my time in Heaven, flying around as a pure angel, laughing with my brothers and sisters.
It made me remember Eve. The reason I fell in the first place, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
"The afterlife? Well, depending on what you did, it can be amazing. Absolutely breathtaking..."
I thought of Elysium, when Dad kicked me out of Heaven, I was found by Aidoneus.
I smiled. Hades...he was a great friend. And he owed me a lot for my help in the Titan War.
He allowed me to stay at his strangely modern mansion in the Underworld, he even allowed me to fly through the fields of Elysium, something he did sometimes do too.
"But it can be a hellhole, too. The worst kind of nightmare you can think of, times it by a hundred."
I then thought of the War of the Heavens and Hell. When I brought an army of Fallen and Demons to attack Heaven.
And we lost. And I got banished. And my wings were burned, and cursed by father. And whatever purity I had left as a Fallen was gone.
I was no longer an Angel. I was a mutant freak, a...a Demon, a Devil.
Clenching my fists, my mind wandered to a stone throne, with jugged spikes and barbed wire.
Me sat on it, Lilith sat on me. And I think a random Succubus was licking my balls-
Despite the fun I made out of it, torturing so many people definitely made a massive impac on my psyche.
Thanks, dad. 'Fucking asshole.
"It's- I hope you never experience it, Shaundi."
I gave a weak smile to her, but it seemed like she didn't really accept it. Her face was as white as paper.
Oops.
Johnny punched my shoulder, grinning.
"Woo, you go man. That was some amazing flirting."
I rolled my eyes at him, and then looked forward, wrapping my arm around his shoulder and pulling him close.
"You saying you can do better? It's a bit weird that you think that way about your sister, but hey, if you want to have a threesome, I'm sure we can–"
"Lucifer!"
Two outraged voices shouted out, and I found myself punched in both of my cheeks, but I couldn't stop myself from laughing.
"I'm kidding, I'm kidding...or am I-"
"Get down on the floor! Or- or I'll kill you all!"
All four of us looked forward with dead eyes.
There was a...little scrawny bloke with a helmet too big for his head, and a...slingshot in his hands?
I couldn't stop myself from bursting out laughing, and then Johnny and Shaundi joined in too.
"Pffft- is that a- Hahaha! Oh Father, that's amazing. Kid- kid, just go home."
A heavy hand descended upon my shoulder, and Oleg leaned down, frowning slightly.
"Lucifer, that midget wields a Sacred Gear."
I couldn't help but raise a brow at that, a slingshot, as a Sacred Gear.
What kind of-
My eyes widened slightly, "Exploding Stone..."
The lanky boy grinned, and aimed his slingshot at the roof.
"Oleg, move the siblings!" I shouted, there not being enough time to say there names as I ran forward.
Unholy, crimson crackled around my hand, and just as it launched forward like a whip, the boy shot his stone up.
*BOOOOM*
*kraKAKakaKA-bo–*
*CRASSHHHH*
The whip cleaved straight through him, and I saw Oleg about to push Shaundi out of the way, but the ceiling fell.
...but it wasn't Shaundi I was scared for, I barely had enough time to lift my eyes before I saw Johnny's fearful, wide eyes.
"No..."
I tried to move forward, but I felt like I was moving through water, time slowed. And I was forced to watch as the roof hit Johnny's shoulder, and then pile on top of him.
"NO!"
This time it wasn't me who shouted, but I hear Shaundi scream, as she tried to escape Oleg's grasp, but she couldn't.
She could only watch as Johnny died. And I could do nothing to help.
I let my wings blast out of my back, now this time they weren't Holy, they were Demonic in every sense of the word, desecrated, muscley skin.
And I ran forward, I threw away the craters of stone away, even as some fell onto me, the roof still falling, but I needed to at least see Johnny.
My nails dug into the brick- and why the fuck was the ceiling made of brick, or concrete...or whatever the fuck!
I could see my own blood, from all the scraping, but I didn't care, and then, and then...
I saw him, his crushed body, painted with dust.
Even though I didn't know him well, I didn't want him to die. I liked him, if I knew him better, I'm sure we would be like brothers.
And yet...he's dead.
And it's my fault.
I instantly realized I could've used Telekinesis, or that I should've killed the Sacred Gear user immediately. Or that-
"Cough! Cough..."
My eyes shot towards the- what I thought to be- corpse.
"Johnny?"
I asked, using Telekinesis to shove everything away, not caring about the sounds of smashing windows.
"Johnny!"
I shouted again, putting my hand to his chest, and begging my Magic to try and heal him. To do anything.
But I wasn't a healer. I was a fighter. Fighters don't heal, but I didn't want him to die.
"..me...tell me...will I- will I go to hell?" His broken voice came out as barely above a whisper, but he might as well have been screaming at me.
I already knew the answer, I didn't need to use [Sin Perception]. My lips trembled.
"I'm sorry..."
He coughed out a laugh, as he laid his head back, I instantly created a soft pillow for him, so he wouldn't be uncomfortable on his death bed.
"Ha...ha, maybe I can... kill some truly bad fuckers in hell, too. Heh...heh...hah..."
I cringed hard as tears formed in my eyes, I didn't know what I could do. But if he was going to hell, he would need help.
He would break. He was only Human...
I pressed my palm into his chest, and my Demonic wings began to flicker, motes of a bright, white light coming off of me, and pouring into him.
If I couldn't heal him, I would give him my gift, a present that persists even through death.
"I give you a second chance in Tartarus. May you go, may you have a part of me always. [The Blessing of the Angel, Hêlēl]"
A white light creeped from the center of his chest, to all of the rest of his body, before exploding outwards in a brilliant show.
I sent out my prayers for him, I prayed. For the first time in a long time, I begged whoever would judge him, to be lenient, to help him.
"I'm sorry."
A deep, Russian accent said from behind me, and I closed my eyes, ignoring it.
Standing up, I didn't dare look behind me.
"I was too weak."
My fists were clenched, so tightly they bled.
I heard nothing from Oleg, and then I felt his hand lay on my shoulder. I felt the urge to punch him, but as I turned around, I paused.
Why was he-
"I'm sorry. I had to put the woman into a state of unconsciousness. She...has a strong punch."
Oh? What did- oh. Ohhhh...
I winced for him, nodding with a tight lipped smile. Before slapping his on the chest.
"Oleg, go. I need to do the rest by myself. And even though Shaundi will hate me for it. I can live with that. Just...go."
I created a card out of thin air, and passed it to him. It was an address. Shaundi's house.
He nodded, and without saying a word, he left.
As soon as he did, a dark look passed my eyes, and I began to walk. My senses were let loose, I no longer forced myself to be weak.
And then I found myself facing an elevator. And I pressed the button.
...
...
God, this is taking a while. I can't keep this serious act up for too long, it goes against my nature.
...
...
Fuck it. I'm flying.
Unleashing my wings, I shot upwards a couple of floors and then stopped, and as I was about to drop to the ground...
*SCHLICK!*
-30,000 HP
Two very, very sharp blades went through my neck, I could taste the Holy Magic that tainted the metal.
And more than that, I could feel as my head disconnected from my neck.
Huh, looks like that [Re-headed] Perk was useful after all.
I covered up the hole I made in the floor with Earth Magic, and I stood. Even as my head rolled on the ground.
"Hmph, that was pathetically easy." A feminine voice said, in an almost frustrated manner.
A different woman rolled her eyes. "These are Demon Slaying Swords for a reason, sister."
Huh. From their voices...twins. How interesting.
"Why hasn't he fallen yet, then?" The first voice said, confused.
The other sounded like she wanted to say something, but then paused, and frowned.
"I...don't know." She said, equally as shocked.
And then I could practically hear her grin.
"Let's make him fall then." She said, and then the other girl grinned too.
...my fingers twitched.
"Hyah!" The first one threw a punch.
"Haah!" And so did the second.
I caught them both, and I squeezed their wrists. My face - on the floor - couldn't help but grin.
"HUH?" "AHHH!" "ZOMBIEEE!" Throwing the twins away, my feet gently slid on the floor, and I raised my arms, taunting them to come closer.
"Well...Holy Energy is supposed to be just as effective against Zombies as us Demons, right? That's what they say in movies."
"Huh- did you watch that movie without me, Kiki?!" Huh, her name is Kiki.
So that would mean that other girl is called...
"Sorry, Vi. But you were too busy riding the masters di–"
Two pillars of Earth shot out of the floor and sent the two sisters flying.
Kiki and Viola, huh. At least they are familiar faces. And it looks like the 'master' likes using them.
Using Seismic Sense, I instantly jumped after them, even if they had their swords out, I beat them with my bare fists.
It was almost too easy to dodge, easier than before, when...when Johnny was still with us.
I paused, and suddenly, an intense bloodlust came over the two women. But with Mana Sense, I could tell they weren't Human.
They were...
My head began to rapidly regrow, I was using Magic to speed up the process, but only got so far as to my eyes, but that meant I could see them.
"Succubi."
I pointed at them, grinning. They definitely looked the part, god damn.
Even though their skin was covered, it left nearly nothing to the imagination. And as it turns out, my imagination is amazing.
God, I'm hard again.
"And what of it, asshole?!" Kiki shouted, and I straightened, glaring at her as I frowned.
"Well, I'd have to ask why you would ever attack your One True King?"
I leaned forward, but the two Demons looked confused, looking at each other.
And then they looked back at me, pointing their rugged and beaten holy swords at me.
I idly noticed that they were wearing gloves, that's an interesting work around to the holy problem, I suppose.
"What are you talk–"
I allowed my Aura to flood out of my body, my face began to sizzle and burn, the skin on my arms fell off, and I gave a wide eyed glare towards the Demons.
My eyes were a dangerous, bloody red.
I smiled.
"L-l..."
Taking a step forward, my Aura only grew, becoming an almost visible aura that sucked away all light, all hope.
My eyes would disappear in my rage, I would become a God of Rage.
I'd say it was like having Gravity Jail being used on a normal human. You couldn't win.
I was the Devil King. Succubi, Incubi, Imps and all other Daemons and even Devils are nothing to me.
"Say. My. Name."
"LUCIFER!"
The girls bowed, they didn't dare look into the eyes of their lord.
My face had finished regenerating. And I forced the ground to rumble, two pillars of Earth slammed into the Succubi's chin, forcing them to look upwards.
I blitzed forward, grabbing their hair, and then slamming them back down into the pillars of jagged rock.
"And yet, you used my one weakness against me. Treason...TREASON I SAY."
Pulling their hair as far back as I could without snapping their neck, I kept it that way with tendrils of Shadow forcing them back.
" 'm s'ryy...ple- please...so sorry, Lord Luc-"
I slammed Viola's face into the Earth again, pressing more of my bloodlust, and aura onto her.
"Who said you could say my name, Viola DeWynter?"
Her eyes widened, before she forced them to return to normal.
"S'rry- sorry...sorry...I'm- I'm sorry..." Tears of pain fell from her eyes. I snorted.
Standing up, I turned up my chin as I took one last look at them, before kicking them both in the face, knocking them out before I turned away.
Two large, crimson doors stood in my way.
I grinned, my teeth now as sharp as swords in this demonic form.
Two hurricanes began to form around my hands, and I swung them backwards, before I thrust forward.
A powerful hose of wind slammed into the doors, and it struggled for a second, before the doors were sent flying off of its hinges, flying out of the wall of windows at the end of the room.
"Gah! AH...don't hurt me-!"
A violent, thick mist suddenly covered the room. The scent of blood echoed and bounced around.
In the mist, though, crackled lightning of different colors.
White.
Blue.
Red.
Holy. Normal. Unholy.
And they all roared for blood.
The mist began to dance, becoming heavier, but at the same time, it was like a hurricane had came into the room, as objects were sent flying.
And then it stopped.
I was stood in front of a desk. Nobody was sat behind it, but I solved that by raising my hand, and washing it over with white hot flames.
The wood didn't even melt, it simply disappeared. But I stopped it before the 'man of the hour' could he hurt.
"Philipe Loren."
The man could be seen...curled up into a ball, shivering, whimpering, tears pooling on the ground.
My fists clenched.
"Get up." I barked out, snarling.
The man looked up, but he winced, he jumped. Mumbling something, praying.
My lips twitched, veins bulged around my face.
"Get. Up." I ground out again.
My blood was pooling onto the floor, my sharp nails went through my palm as I clenched tighter.
He didn't do as I said, he tried to crawl backwards. I couldn't stop my rage anymore.
"GET UP!"
I lifted him with Telekinesis. I forced his face to look at my own.
And then I went up to him, I grabbed his cheeks, my long nails going through and into his mouth.
He screamed.
I didn't care.
"You are going to die. Tell me, what are your last words?"
I asked, but I didn't care. I wanted to crush him, to see his blood on the walls.
There was the temptation to claw open his stomach and feed it to the ants and the worms in the ground.
"P-pleashe...no. I don't wan' to–"
I clenched harder, nearly breaking his jaw, with my Telekinesis, I could blow him up in so many different directions.
My glare became so much more heated.
"Is that what they said to you, hm? All those people that you killed? Tell me, why are you different. Why do you get to live. HUH?!"
"I'LL MAKE YOU THE KINGPIN!" He screamed out, tears freely dropping onto the floor.
I paused. And tilted my head, my eyes narrowing.
"What?"
His lips twitched as he whimpered in pain, but he looked into my eyes.
"Yes- yes! You'll be the Singular owner of Devil's Luxury! Of Morningstar! Of the Syndicate. Women, Money, Guns, Steelport! It's yours. Please...please don't kill me."
My fingers twitched, and Philipe cried out in pain.
My lips pursed, and they twitched too. And then I pulled my hand back, I let go of my control over him.
He fell to the ground in pain, crying openly as he held his mouth.
"24 Hours. If everything of yours is not transferred over to me, money, real estate, if you leave anything out...I will kill you."
Walking out of the room, I paused, seeing the two Succubi groaning, their mouths bleeding, and their teeth knocked out. Noses crooked. And bruises all over their body.
...
I turned around, catching Philipe by his hair as he tried to scramble past me.
"What are you doing?" I raised a brow.
He gulped, sweating buckets.
"You- you uh, um...you destroyed my computer. My only other one with all credentials is at my home."
"Your home? Where?"
The man scrambled in his pockets, but gave me a card with a picture.
Oooh, a nice mansion overlooking the ocean. And on a cliff, too? It's only a little bit out from Steelport and-
Hold on.
...that's Tony Stark's Mansion from the Iron Man movies.
Fuck it, it's mine now. I've always wanted that place.
I picked up the two Succubi, and lifted Philipe with my Telekinesis.
"We're going."
Landing down at the front of the house, I couldn't help but gape a little bit.
This was...this was...
Beautiful.
I know, I know. You were expecting me to say something like 'it was dogshit', or something. But no, it really was amazing.
And it really was Tony Stark's mansion.
I...don't actually know this place was actually real in my last life. I mean, it was used in the Iron Man movies, duh, but I don't think it was a real house.
Narrowing my eyes, I turned to look at Philip.
The Avengers in this world were fucked up, too...
"Oi, shit-for-brains."
"H-huh?!" The man stuttered as he snapped his head at me, eyes wide and pleading for me not to kill him.
I rolled my eyes.
His time was numbered.
"Does the name Tony Stark mean anything to you?"
He froze.
I raised a brow.
And he then scowled, shoving his hands into his pockets.
"Does it? Absolutely! That asshole is always one upping me in every possible way, except the brothels, but the great Tony Stark can't fuck prostitutes, doesn't stop him from fucking every woman he thinks is hot, though."
Breathing out heavily, I looked to the stares wistfully. A happy smile present on my face.
A challenge could be out there. Somebody who could match me.
No, not Iron Man. Metal Magic would surely fuck him over instantly.
What I mean is, this world is a lot bigger than I thought. Marvel...possibly DC, maybe anything.
Aliens...I sighed. Glaring to the open sky.
But I don't care. I will be on top.
I will be God.
Ping!
Wha- huh?
I looked to my side, and my eyes widened as I saw a...Quest Reward, but not for the mission I was currently doing.
Instead...
Secret Quest Completed!
[The World was Wide Enough...]
There is something off, this thing shouldn't exist, this thing doesn't now! Just what is wrong with the world?!
Objectives:
- Find out that your world is crossover'd with many others.
Rewards:
1 Level Up! 1 Gacha Coin. 1 Random Companion Crystal.
My lips curled up devilishly. Not only was Gacha a thing, but...
The thought of getting beautiful women from across the multiverse was a very inticing thought.
I throbbed at the thought of it.
And biting my lip, I pulled out the crystal, and I blinked.
Ahhh, I see. It would randomize the person, and then give me the persons crystal. That made...sense, I guess?
Anyway, I looked at the thing with a raised, and very amused brow.
Companion Gem: Blackfire (DC)
Honestly, this was such a hard pick. I have plans for another companion, but I kind of wanted Lucifer to have a little...*shudders* growth first.
Ive got a large list of possible companions, but...theyre also kinda boring to me now that I look back on it.
So my question today is; PLEASE GIVE ME COMPANION IDEAS.
This can be from a cartoon, a comic, a movie, or whatever the fuck. A hentai even! I don't mind.
