Capítulo 1020: Freya - Bridge of the Damned IV

Tearing my eyes away from the rivers, the rustling of footsteps tugged at my heart. My brow shot up, and my grip over Draczimar tighten.

It's a trap.

Any God, even if they are the weakest creature in the nines, knows how to mask their footsteps. Something is up.

"Freya," A startling voice that made my blood boil called. " Watch out…"

I twirled, feeling everything in me wishing to listen to the voice of my Master. My instincts hadn't begun to howl, nor had the hairs on my neck risen, but… But as I turned with Drazimar in the defensive arc, blood caught my eye.

DING!!!!!

Cutting deep into my shoulder, Drazimar caught the dark blade of the bizarre entity of utter flames burning with a fiendish expression dancing in the fire. I was pushed back.

Pain splintered my mind for a second, but in the moments of stillness where both of us measured one another, a horrid amount of bloodlust flared from that creature's body, stiffening my mind.

Knowing it was a soul attack and that a physical attack could come at any moment, I didn't dare flinch or show any expression.

My soul was protected. Some attacks could leak in, but Soul Defense was a tricky endeavor. Oden and I had disagreed on many things, but Soul Base battles were the most dangerous ones.

Most of the Soul Scriptures were lost with time, but the ones from my memories were terrifying. Their battle intertwines on two levels. Spiritual and Physical. And it was that made people like the Silver Devil so powerful.

One cannot simply dodge a soul attack unless they are somehow connected with the material plane.

That was what essentially made ninety percent of astral attacks so dangerous. They were instantaneous and deadly.

The blazing specter bared its ghastly fangs in its somewhat humanoid appearance and, without hesitation, lunged.

Piercing through the darkness, the Spector was upon me in an instant, Its small mid-God cultivation blaring. But there was a difference in catching me off guard and now facing me head on… especially since my memories of that blasted era were returning.

Striking at me with a blade similar to the one the imps had used earlier; my eyes narrowed the instant it reached my neck. Everything slowed as I instantly cast over several spells to map the layout of this territory.

Sensing dozens of creatures somehow hiding in the wide open yet invisible to my eye and divine sense, I cursed, and without hesitation, I shadow-stepped just outside the tower where Victoria was facing off against the dragon mid-air and gathered almost half of my divinity.

A brutal intent suddenly whipped over the land and skies as even wings beneath my feet trembled, sensing something devilish emanating from my very bones.

"Commander!" A few dozen High Gods shouted, rushing towards me, covered in armor.

Raising a fist to halt their movement, the sigils of life and death flared within my eyes and began to intertwine with one another.

"Blade of the Pale Rider," I uttered in both Infernal and Enochian, allowing these two power to gather within me; ethereal wings of black and white flared from my back as time and space began to warp, gravity began to tremble, causing an influx of tears dancing along space.

"Heed the song of life and the dance of death. And gather to thy hand! I call upon you, Lord of the Nine, Fallen of Hell! LORD OF DEATH! AZAZEL!!!!!"

"Karmic Array"

The exterior of Drazimar shattered to dust, revealing a slivery black edge bleeding such a demonic aura the very hells began to reel in fear as laws began to recied.

"Last I used this spell was to challenge the Silver Devil! But now! NOW I will use it to make a path for my Master!"

Twenty Chaos Cycle it had taken for me to research Angels and Fallen from lost manuals in hopes it could push me away from Odin. I'd amass so many texts, so manly legends. I had even reforged the primordial runes, the centralized runes that most gods in the myriad heavens use. And I'm sure higher realms.

And in my research, I'd created a technique that called upon not just the attunement of a Law or Location like the Abyss. But the core power of any Angels and Fallen whether they like it or not. When one gives their name, they will leave behind karma. When one's name is known, their name will entwine itself into karma.

But… what if you stole that. What if you trick the Fourth Heaven into believing you were… An actual Angel of Death? What if you stole that power? If Azazel was a Fallen I read about, he must have been so powerful merely by existing that his power would leak into reality… no one is born in perfect control.

And all that power he released in a battle or subconsciously has to go somewhere. When I battle, I don't care about the bolts of divinity I release into the bed of chaos… but no one ever asks what happens when that energy dissolves. Does it turn back into the Qi of Heaven and Earth?

No. At least not all of it does. Ninety percent vanishes back into Heaven and Earth, while the rest intertwines into your karma. That energy is yours. You've already defiled it after it was stolen from heaven and earth. And that's the power I call upon.

One just needs a high affinity to a specific law… It may be an insult to the gods I stole from. But... It was an act of desperation back then.

"You are to follow my lead," I informed the soldiers behind me before shooting inside at such a blinding speed everything seemed like shrieking stars falling from space.

Feeling the heat of Lord Azazels power pouring into me, without end, my chest began to burn as my eyes began to bleed a river of black blood. The flesh of my skin cracked, but instead of blood oozing, only a sea of black flames.

I howled, and an immaculate slaughter began.

I was on the verge of becoming a Chaos Lord back then… a Lord capable of demanding my freedom. A Queen who was so close… yet so far.

Karmic Array can't be stopped. It's like having your name on the cash you lost in the middle of the street. Sure it's yours, but what can you do?

I'll do some bonus chapters tommrow.

Capítulo 1021: Proposal

"Oh, come on, Arsene," Lily said sternly as cosmic energy serged around my Soul Flame. "You need to envision it. You have Tenebrae's everlasting grace, the Abyss's blessing, and my Abyssal fragment, but none of that means shit if you can't envision what you wish to be."

"That's kinda hard when I don't know what that entails… I'm a Mid God capable of killing elder Gods… not to toot my own horn, but can I get any more perfect? Literally. I'm so broken I can't get any better."

Lily sighed. "Well, you need to think of something. You are literally in a position to cheat the system—"

"I know," I begrudgingly moaned, cutting to the point. " But I'm immune to everything. I guess I could adapt instantly, but Zariel did it smartly. He made it, so my body, or I guess, soul, needed time to adapt at a steady rate. If I increase that, I may end up as stone for messing with genetics faster than I can think… what can you give a man that has everything?"

"...we both know the answer to that… she gave you half."

She did, didn't she… what Tenebrae gave me was something no man nor God can grasp. I would represent the laws… no, I could 'be' a law.

'!!!'

I could be the Darkness or at least half of it. I'm sure Zariel did something similar. The highest power we mortals have is the soul: If I were to turn half my soul into darkness due to my commitment to Tenebrae and the other Abyssal due to Lilith.

"Son of a Bitch!" I snapped, thinking out loud.

"What? Have you decided on if you want your cock to have a slight bend? Some think it's strange but let me tell you, if you—"

"Lily, shut it! That bastard Zariel did it. He thought of the beginning and the end."

"What do you mean?"

"Lucifer… you've met him, right?" I asked.

"We have." She answered.

"And have you scanned him?"

"I have."

"What about Tenebrae?"

"I scanned her too. What are you getting at?"

"The soul Lily! The bloody souls are the same? Did Lucifer merge with the Myriad Sin of Pride?"

A sudden gasp echoed through my mind as I felt my soul struck by a cord.

" you scanned Mephisto too… did you also find The Myriad Sin of Pride? Of course, you did. To reach the next level, past the confines of a mortal, Fallen or Angels for that matter, must become said Sin or Virtues. Zariel knew this. He had to. He probably merged with the Weave. They are emulating the Avatars of Heaven and Earth."

"Hellmaster, Hell. Tenebrae, Darkness. Mithra, Light. Lunafreya, Moon. It all makes sense. They might not have reached the true level of Hellmaster or Tenebrae, but they are getting close."

"What if adaptation was only a by-product? What if it really was meant to acquire two supreme powers? Like Darkness and Abyss?"

"That doesn't make sense," Lilly said after some silence. "So many things had happened outside his control. He couldn't have known you'd become the bridge. Shit, not even Mephisto could have known."

"That'd be the beauty of the plan… he didn't need to. It was for me to pick anyway. I don't need a new body. I need a new soul. One that's on a path set to rival Zariel or Lucifer. I want to merge my very being into the darkness and the Abyss. And not some surface-level shit. I want to become them. I'd truly be whatever the hell Tenebrae is."

"Shit… no one's ever merged with more than one. Even Mephisto… he's the only one with all seven Virtues and Sins, but he can't use them all. He's got to switch them out like slots. That's how he wanted it." Lily figured in a murmur or two

"The Monarch of Abyssal Night… seems like someone figured out my ending." I mused, thinking about the creator of this mantra. "Will I need Lilith?"

"You will," said Lily. "You might have to beg. To grovel on your knees like a common consort."

"You got me fucked up and confused with someone else. What the hell would I beg for?" I snapped, feeling the nebula of stardust shutter at my anger. "If anything, she ought to kneel before this King. And prostrate herself before my—"

"... Are you high on fumes? The chances of that happening is zero… What kind of woman do you think your wife is? She may submit a little, but I don't think she'll bend over backward like some common whore. She, not your goddamn toy."

"I never said she was… And if anything, she bullies me! Answer me this? What have I done to her?"

"I-I—"

"See! I haven't done shit! She tortured me for years! Do I have to bring up how she threw dozens of bloodlines in me just to make sure our future kids would be—

"Are you even mad about that, or are you fishing for something?"

"..."

"You're a damn devil. Do you even still care? In fact. Were you even that mad?"

"A little~. "

"You little bitch." Said Lily with a giggle. "Just call her up. Iza is a daddy's girl. So obviously, the name wasn't an issue."

I smiled at that.

"Get Lilith… Me marrying another woman will infuriate her so much that she might pop a fuse. And since it's a woman she can't kill, I'm sure she'll be even angrier."

"Who knows… maybe Father and Daughter will share a 'meal' together. I don't see it fucking happening, but yeah. A father can dream… Gods, are you hard? What the fuck, Arsene!"

"First off! I don't even have a physical body, so stop making shit up! And summon my wife."

Immediately sensing a change in the chaos surrounding me, a pair of Amethyst eyes caught my attention… filled with worry, something in me dipped.

"Sene… I think… I think I may have fucked up. I pulled a, you."

If I truly had a physical body, I would be nodding at this moment as my very soul burst with pride. " Don't tell me yet… did it feel good? Did it feel good to join the dark side?"

"Sene! This is serious. I pissed off the Pale Lord."

"She a damn loli. Give her a lollipop."

Eyes wide as stars, her lovely gaze instantly turned to fury. "You can't possibly think that'll work!"

"Well… Maybe. My sister loves Lollipops. Especially the ones bigger than her head. It's like heroin to her… that and pastries, but who doesn't like pastries. She loves fruit custard tarts. That's her favorite. "

"Sene, I swear to god I'm going to kick you in the balls!"

Chuckling, having laid the trap, I decided to drop the nuke. "Well, I'm a little happy, is all… Tenebrae just proposed."
