"But sadly… I'm all out of fucking mercy."
The communications were cut after those last cold, merciless words, and the large hall fell quiet.
Yasaka wished so badly to stand, rush over and hug Ciel into her, warding away the ocean of negative emotions just rolling off of him.
Even the Angels were affected by his negative mood.
They might not be as greatly attuned to sensing emotions as the Youkai, but they can still sense negativity.
No audio came through the countless video feeds before the large window facing Earth, but everyone could see the massacre happening.
The machines… The Legion, kept marching forward, trampling over everything in their path.
A slow pace, yet hundreds fell by the second.
Cannons fired, raining stars upon the Underworld, further crippling it with each perfectly placed shot.
It didn't take long for the three remaining Satans to join the fray, but the machines were spread too far already, so their actions were only slowing the inevitable.
"Kill the Satans." Ciel commands lowly, seemingly to no one, before cutting off the video feed and throwing the remote away.
It clattered on the metal floor, and the only sound within the room became Ciel's long and deep breath.
Azazel hesitated for a second, but then reached over and patted him on the shoulder. "They asked for it." He whispers.
"I forced them into it." Ciel instantly bites out, fists clenching so tightly that Yasaka could smell the blood flowing down his fingers.
"I could have just kept my mouth shut and let things go, but no!" He throws his hands in the air before dropping them with a sigh. "I gotta be a hater." Michael frowned slightly, then shook his head and moved away from his seat.
"You prevented a war." The Archangel states, drawing a look from Ciel.
"I started one." The genius inventor rebutted.
Michael shook his head again. "Knowing Echidna, she would have told us about the Devil Pool during the meeting either way, so to cause some chaos." Ciel's eyebrow ticks a few times, and Yasaka swore she heard a few faint giggles come from… somewhere.
"We'd have gone to war to destroy that last remnant of Lucifer." He then nods towards Yasaka herself. "And the Youkai would have gone to war too to regain Shirone over there. And to get some payback too." The mature Youkai nods, snorting softly and flicking her tails, a faint flush coming to her cheeks when Ciel looks towards her, and his negative mood noticeably improves.
Ciel hums, then narrows his eyes at Michael and Azazel, then at Kokabiel.
"I presume you all are going to gang up on me to make me feel better…"
"Yes." They all answer in unison before Michael blinks, then corrects himself. "Actually no, I have something better."
Ciel gives him a confused look as Michael steps back. "Allow me to demonstrate." The Archangel proceeds to cough into his fist, straighten himself, cross his arms behind his back, and…
"Gabriel?" Said beautiful woman instantly perks up. "Cuddle him."
"Oh fuck-gah!" Ciel barely had time to widen his eyes and curse before a golden meteor tackled him to the ground and engulfed him whole. "Woman, I'm fragile! Be gentle!"
Gabriel paused, then swiftly decided to ignore those words and proceed to hug the life out of Ciel.
Literally.
"I don't mean to alarm y'all…" Thor suddenly speaks up, then points at the two even as Azazel seems to be going through several seizures at the same time.
"But he's turnin' purple." The giant of a man states flatly, and everyone including Michael blanches.
"Gabriel!"
As one, everyone charged towards the hissing Might of God to save the very purple captive.
XxXxX
"Celsius Cross Trigger!" Her furious scream echoed across the sky as her Demonic Power washed forth in tidal waves.
The air solidified, and the land down below instantly became a frozen wasteland, with spires and icebergs reaching all the way to the sky up above.
And then a sound echoed across the land.
The sound of icecaps shattering.
It was so loud and deep that Serafall felt her very organs shake from the sound-wave.
And then her wasteland of ice shattered and crumbled as the machines stood and begun moving once more.
A furious snarl crossed her face at the annoying and hateful sight.
The machines kept moving.
The cannons kept firing.
Devils kept dying!
Her instincts scream at her, and she forces herself to dodge the soaring comet that had nearly smashed into her, and could only watch as it flew into the distance before exploding, a mushroom cloud rising on the impact site.
Her eyes turned to glare into the distance, where the biggest cannons are and machines are, firing destruction and death upon her home and people-
"You should focus more on yourself." Her instincts screamed-
Her world exploded with pain as something slammed into her with the force of a damn meteor.
She flew back faster than even the projectiles shot by the Railguns, her back slamming into the scattered Devil army.
Any unfortunate Devil in her way blew up like balloons on impact, while the other that were unfortunately too close ended up being ripped apart by the immense shock-wave that followed after her.
Blood rained from the skies and poured out of her mouth, her eyes growing bloodshot as she managed to slow her flight down and regain her footing.
Fury blazed in her eyes as the temperature dropped and frost covered the land, but her eyes soon widen more and more as a being strides forward, ahead of the now still army of machines.
Her frost couldn't advance further as roaring heat poured out from the tall being, clearly made of metal and being yet another machine.
A humanoid looking one.
The thing stood there, looking over nine feet tall and with a body seemingly made of gold and silver, with a large blood-red eye in the middle.
It's face was featureless, lacking any eyes and mouth, with large antlers sprouting from the top of it's head.
It's arms were massive, dark gold in color and with glowing red lines running along their surface. It's lower body was instead much slimmer than the upper one.
"Satan Leviathan, also known as Serafall Sitri." The thing spoke, flexing it's hands before crossing it's massive arms over the large eye on it's chest. "Father and Mother have tasked me to take your life."
"There are no plans of failure coded in me…" The eye on it's chest started glowing. "So I suggest you surrender thy head, lest I go a bit overboard to take it myself."
Flames washed forth like a waterfall going downhill, and the remaining Devil army could only scream for a few seconds before they were turned to ashes.
Serafall grits her teeth and lets her power roar forth as a gargantuan blizzard.
The sea of flames turned into an expanding dome of heat, taking a shape akin to the sun and leaving spots in her vision.
Heat and cold clashed together, and Serafall gritted her teeth, forcing ever last drop of her power out to gain the upper hand.
But alas, the heat only kept growing higher and higher.
The air was sat aflame, the land melted and became a molten wasteland, and the sky itself became a scorched red as her gargantuan blizzard was forced back over and over.
"Who the hell are you?!" She screams, her hand shaking from the effort, veins throbbing along her forehead and neck.
The thing stood there, arms still crossed and it's posture still relaxed. It didn't even take a single step forward, as if taking her on took no effort at all.
"I am Beast III, also called Ars Goetia." The now named Ars Goetia answers, voice cold, deep and powerful. "I am the biomechanical Android born from the fusion of the two greatest minds these realms can offer. Father Architect and Mother Echidna." Serafall's stomach drops.
She had seen the power Architect was able to throw around, and what he was able to create without anyone realizing.
His Orbital Station, the Orbital Cannons that slayed Fenrir, Loki and their army… And whatever else he keeps hidden.
And now this thing appears.
"Three?" She repeats softly, hollowly at most, her ice storm growing weaker and losing even more ground.
There's two more of these things?
"Indeed. I am the last, and weakest of the 'Beast' line." The Beast answers, throwing gasoline on her burning and growing fear. This was the weakest? "My two brothers are currently busy taking the lives of your remaining Satans."
The thing finally uncrosses it's arms, then starts walking forward.
And it's flames start growing stronger and stronger, seemingly having no limit to how much power it can release.
"You do not stand a chance against us."
"Your struggles are fruitless, now you are a mere struggling fish within a net."
"Father has been preparing for over a decade, while you all were none the wiser." Goetia now stood before her, and she didn't even realize.
She should run away, but she had no energy left in her.
She failed to protect her people, to hold the army back…
She'll fail to protect her Sona.
A pained gasps leaves her lips as her body starts burning, little by little, and very painfully. She wasn't even granted a quick death.
Goetia stood there, then lifted it's arms high in the air. "Us Beasts have an infinite amount of Mana, and are also given access to Holy Light, a Devil's weakness. Yet I did not need to use it."
"How disappointing. Mother had hoped to gather some useful data from the fight." She grits her teeth and glares hatefully at the thing before her. "But I presume it is my fault. That first blow took away the majority of your Devil Energy, after all."
The Beast sighed and shook it's featureless head. "It matters not. I shall complete my task now."
"So burn away like the trash that you are."
Serafall, the Satan Leviathan, could only watch as a Sun of gargantuan size slowly came into existence high into the sky.
The earth and air evaporated. Her skin dried up and her very blood boiled.
Then her vision spun, and she ended up seeing her headless corpse turn to ashes as a gargantuan beam of immense heat washed forth.
And as her vision went dark, her last thoughts went to her sister.
Goetia stood there, the eye on it's chest gazing towards the scorched horizon, where an approaching army had been second prior.
It's gaze then lands on the head in it's hands before moving to it's left and in the distance.
"Looks like Falbium will be the next to fall."
XxxX
"Sirzechs!" Falbium shouts as he joins his fellow Satan's side, a nasty frown on Sirzechs face, one the Satan Asmodeus mirrored.
Sirzechs flexes his jaw and clenches his teeth as he watches the army of machines advance, slowly but surely, in their direction.
Behind him stood an enormous army of Devils, all of them with nervous, furious or fearful looks on their faces as their eyes locked onto the approaching army.
And suddenly, a giant screen of light appeared high in the air between the two armies.
A weird being came into view on the screen, and Sirzechs soon noticed that it was being shown all across the Underworld, making his stomach drop.
"Devils of the Underworld." The thing spoke with heavy and powerful voice, then it rose it's massive right hand, bringing it into full view of the camera recording.
And showing the severed head of Serafall.
"Your Satan Leviathan has fallen." The video feed is then cut off, having just been raised to show the death of one of their strongest Devils.
And to drop their morale even more.
Sirzechs nearly loses control over his Power of Destruction, blood pouring down his chin from him biting his lower lip hard enough to draw blood so to control his anger.
Falbium clicks his tongue and curses beneath his breath, while the army behind them is instantly swallowed by fear.
The two remaining Satans know very well that they had to act soon, lest the army scatters and everyone starts running for their lives while the life reaping machines just kept getting closer and closer.
Sirzechs hate for Architect only kept growing with each passing second.
But suddenly, the army of machines stopped advancing, their metallic groans came to a stop, and the Railguns far beyond the horizon also stopped firing.
The two Satans frown in confusion, but the hair on the back of their necks suddenly stand on end as blackish-purple light engulfs the world.
Monstrous Devil Energy descended from the sky, engulfing the Devil army and sending chills down everyone's back.
Sirzechs slowly lifted his gaze to stare at the descending figure, and found himself freezing in pure shock and horror as he took in the man's appearance.
"Lucifer…?" The Satan Lucifer whispers in horror and confusion.
He couldn't be mistaken.
He had seen the many portraits, murals and painting of the infamous King of Hell, the Devil Progenitor, the man whose name he had kind of 'succeeded'.
And now, there the man stood high in the air, fourteen pitch black feathery wings stretching out from it's back and extending out for over a dozen meters to the side.
Long, flowing black hair and glowing blood-red eyes. A greek-like white tunic that left most of his upper body exposed.
A twisted, shifting blood-red blade in hand. The Blade of Lucifer.
And the roaring blackish-purple light surrounding the man. His infamous Clan Trait, made to spite Gods and the Angels.
The Demonic Brilliance of Evil Light. A power insanely strong against Angels, and even stronger against Devils.
A perfect fusion of both Devil Energy and Holy Light, bought about through unknown means.
"I am a Biomechanical Android, from the 'Beast' series. Beast I, Lucifer." The man spoke, voice pleasant, powerful, with a distant and heavy echo to it. Just like in the legends. "I was created by the efforts of Mother Echidna, and Father Architect, through using the corpse of the Original Lucifer."
Sirzechs stomach drops even more.
How did Architect get his hands on Lucifer's corpse?!- No, was it perhaps Echidna!? She was alive back then after all!
She must've witnessed the final clash and collected the corpses afterward!
"I have been tasked to take your head, Sirzechs Gremory." The Beast Lucifer speaks once more, and Sirzechs finds his skin crawling as those glowing red eyes rested upon him.
It akin to being a prey being stared at by an Apex Predator.
"And failure isn't an option." The Lucifer moves.
An ocean of blackish purple light descends down towards Sirzechs, a twisted and evil blood-red blade coming for his head from within the descending ocean of twisted Light.
"Let's work together!" Falbium roars, his Absolute Defense orange aura flaring to live as he launches himself forward.
The sword falls with the weight of a planet behind it.
The Satan Asmodeus grits his teeth and crosses his arms, receiving the sword to the best of his abilities.
The devilish sword collides with his aura, and a gargantuan shock-wave blooms forth, tearing the earth asunder and ripping apart anything in it's path.
The army of machines creates an enormous dome around it that easily tanks the shock-wave, while the Devil army is sent flying, with the weaker ones just bursting like balloons when the wall of high pressure force washes past them.
Those that didn't blow up received horrid injuries to their organs, with the majority losing their eyes and eardrums from the tremendous clash.
Falbium's eyes become bloodshot as his Absolute Defense aura dims from the tremendous blow, something that only a handful of people were capable of doing.
The twisted blade sank through his orange aura and cut an inch deep into his arm, and that's when Sirzechs makes his move, rushing forward from Falbium's right.
His Power of Destruction roared into existence like a blackish-red sun, his right arm cocked back and his hand clenched into a tight fist.
Lucifer's glowing red eyes slowly move to meet Sirzechs furious ones before the fist wrapped in Power of Destruction smashed into his face.
And Sirzechs eyes widen in horror when Beast Lucifer doesn't even budge.
"How disappointing." The android mutters softly before his wings unfurl.
And a power beyond anything Sirzechs and Falbium ever felt smashed into their bodies, making them both grunt as they are sent flying back.
In two different directions.
The two Satans instantly realize Beast Lucifer's true intentions.
"Falbium-!"
"Cthulhu, kill your target." The Lucifer commands, and a dark fog washes forth from the horizon behind the army of machines.
Sirzechs stomach drops, and his eyes narrow when he feels something tug at his mind.
And then the screams began.
His eyes widened in horror as he spun around to look at the army of devils that had gathered, or at least the remainder of it left behind after the first clash against Beast Lucifer.
And now they were all tearing each other apart like animals.
Blood curling screams came from them as blood rained down.
Limbs were torn off, organs were ripped out, eyes were clawed out, so on and so forth.
It was a horrifying sight, one straight out of nightmares.
Devils clawed at each other, bit into each others necks. Once comrades, now animals fighting to the death.
"Stop this at once!" Sirzechs roars towards Lucifer, but the man merely raises a brow.
"That is not my doing." The Android answers, a small smile tugging at his lips as his free hand slowly rises in the air, then he jabs his thumb behind him. "That's Beast II."
A giant shape rises out of the dark fog.
A twisted, corrupted and distorted aura washes forth as a giant being comes into view.
Two enormous wings stretched out from the thing's back, it's head akin to an octopus, with it's mouth being replaced by long swirling tentacles.
It's two eyes glowed with reddish-orange light as they settled upon the two Satans.
Two enormous clawed hands reached forth, resting upon the ground, while the lower body remained hidden within the dark fog that spread insanity.
"Greetings, Satans." The new being spoke with a deep, echoing voice that made the very air shudder.
Distant whispers and screams rang out with the minds of Sirzechs and Falbium, making their hard trained instincts roar at them to run the fuck away-
"I am Beast II, Cthulhu." The being's eyes lit up with power, and the whispers and screams intensified.
The world grew darker, the air grew heavier, their senses grew dull.
And Cthulhu sets his gaze upon the Satan Asmodeus.
Sirzech's eyes instantly widen in horror.
"And I have been tasked to take your head, Falbium Glasya-Labolas."
Said Satan grits his teeth in anger, his orange aura once more roaring to life even as his skin crawl from being stared at by that enormous being.
"Sirzechs, I'll take care of him!" He shouts before launching himself forward.
Only for an enormous cut to appear on his chest.
Blood spurted everywhere, and pain filled every inch of his body.
His eyes became bloodshot and his throat became sore as he screamed.
And then the wound vanished, but the pain remained.
Cthulhu chuckles, a deep and terrifying sound that makes the air tremble and quiver as his enormous form vanished back into the dark fog.
Falbium grits his teeth, gripping his bloodied clothes, cold sweat pouring down his face.
His eyes flick left and right, fury, confusion and fear filling them.
He didn't know how that attack bypassed his Absolute Defense aura. And it was so fast he couldn't even see it coming.
"Show yourself!" He roars, then screams in pain again when a bloody hole is punched through his stomach.
His guts flew everywhere, his sight became blurry.
His left arm was ripped off. Then his right leg.
His eyes exploded. His throat was torn open.
He gurgled on his own blood as his head pounded from the immense pain.
And the injuries once more disappeared, but the blood and pain stayed behind.
Veins throbbed all over his bald head, and with a roar of pure fury, the Satan Asmodeus unleashes his Devil Energy in all directions.
The dark fog is pushed back from the force of power, and Cthulhu's enormous head comes into view.
"Are you toying with me?!" Falbium roars, flipping towards the terrifying being and launching himself at it even as bloody gaping wounds appeared all over his body.
Blood, limbs and guts fell from the sky, then regrew and kept falling.
Over and over again.
"But of course. I am merely torturing you just a bit." The nightmarish being chuckles, stretching it's enormous clawed hands and cupping the space around the feral Satan.
"You are but a mere vermin before me."
Instead of growing angry, Falbium suddenly grins, shocking Cthulhu.
"Thanks for the energy!" The Satan Asmodeus roars as his aura roars to life once more. "Offensive Position!" He roars and draws his fist back.
He had absorbed a great deal of energy through all those wounds, and now he was close to Cthulhu and could unleash his strongest attack right into his fa-
"Checkmate." Cthulhu's shocked eyes instantly turn feral.
Falbium's eyes widen in shock and horror.
Mangled hands reach out from behind him and sink into his flesh and organs.
Cthulhu's hands clap together in a thunderous clash.
Falbium's Soul explodes.
All of this happened in the span of two seconds in the real world.
Sirzechs blanches as Falbium's energy signature just… disappears all of a sudden.
And then his body starts falling out of the sky and into the dark fog down below.
"Falbium!" The last remaining Satan screams, veins throbbing all over his forehead as his skin starts splitting open, Power of Destruction leaking out of those cracks. "What did you do!?"
Cthulhu chuckles as he appears out of the dark fog behind Beast Lucifer, the corpse of the Satan Asmodeus floating in his grasp. "It is simple, Sirzechs Gremory. I used his weakness against him."
Beast Lucifer smiles and brandishes his sword once more. "We have been built to kill the remaining Satans by exploiting their weaknesses."
"Serafall Sitri fought Beast III, Ars Goetia, who wielded immeasurable fire magic power. She didn't last as long as we had hoped due to Goetia hitting her with an Anti-Magic attack at the beginning of their fight."
"Falbium is a fearsome opponent indeed, mostly due to his Absolute Defense magic. Any physical or magical attack that hits him is greatly weakened and also absorbed… So we Cthulhu drew him into an illusion without him even realizing, dulled his senses, made him reckless, drew him to swap into his Offensive Position, then annihilated his Soul thanks to that opening."
The devilish sword in the Lucifer's hand soon rises to point at the pale and furious Sirzechs. "And now, you are the last."
"So offer thy head, O Satan Lucifer."
Sirzechs body explodes.
An ocean of Power of Destruction swallows the skies and the earth, and at the center floated a humanoid being made out of Power of Destruction.
The Beast Lucifer smirks, a feral glint appearing with his glowing red eyes.
And his blackish purple twisted Light floods the other side of the Underworld.
The two Lucifers move.
The Underworld quivers.
They collide with the force of an exploding Sun.
The Underworld cracks.
XxxX
Echidna mewls, her face contorted and flushed in pleasure as a hot drawn out pant flows out of her supple lips.
She squirms, her lust filled eyes never leaving the trembling screen before her.
Each clash between the two Lucifers bought more and more pleasure to her, making her squirm harder and harder.
"Haa~… Our children are truly fantastic!" She moans loudly, uncaring if Ciel could hear her from wherever he was.
She was on his wonderful creation, his Space Station, and within his lab, where they both fused their minds to create the three Beasts.
Biomechanical Androids born from the fusion of flesh, blood and metal. And given life through Spiritual Energy, Mana and Ether.
Out of them all, the weakest was by far Cthulhu, due to his real form being quite small and fragile.
Beast II was her idea, a being created through the fusion of ancient corpses filled with resentment. Which she had plenty of, due to her part in the Great War.
Mixed with those were several powerful Evil Spirits she herself subdued, then mind wiped to put them under hers and Ciel's rule.
The end result was a monster capable of horrifyingly powerful and realistic illusions that attacked the senses themselves.
It was near impossible to sense such attacks, especially if the senses are dulled and weakened beforehand, like with Falbium.
Beast III is the second strongest, having been created through the use of the corpse of Logi, the Jotnar personification of fire.
She was very surprised when Ciel showed he had it's corpse. She didn't even know the Jotnar had died.
He was a powerful being, nearly capable of being part of the Top Ten Strongest Beings of the world… and then the Jotnar somehow pissed off Ciel while he was in Asgard to receive Freya's training in runes.
And Ciel took it personally and in one way or the other, convinced Thor to kill the giant.
Which isn't hard. All one needs is to offer the Norse God a good drink and a good fight to make him do something.
So Logi ended up dead just like that.
Ciel still has to tell her the whole story.
And then, finally, Beast I. Their greatest creation so far, made out of the body of her progenitor and 'Father'.
Plus his sword, which she snatched before the final battle.
Which, again, she caused. Oops.
The Satans and God died, she snatched the bodies of the Satans to study, then left after trying and failing to grab God's body too.
Mostly because it just fell apart into particles of light. How bothersome.
And so Beast I was born. With all of her father's skills, his horrifyingly powerful Clan Trait, empowered with hundreds of Mana Batteries and connected to the Ether Dyson Sphere that powers the whole Orbital Stations.
Her and Ciel created a Lucifer dozens of times far more powerful than the original. In just a few days.
And now said creation was easily going toe to toe to against a full power Sirzechs Gremory, with their clashes causing the very Underworld to crack beneath them.
Another moan slips out of her lips as her right hand slowly goes down to her crotch.
"If this is what our minds create when joined together, then I wonder what our bodies can make…"
