After playing around with Lilith for a few more hours, I quickly returned to the gate I was so rudely distracted from.
Eve had claimed that one needed to be pure-hearted, but… was the 'Breath' not the sort of purity granted by the One?
I drew close to the swirling mass of energy, and my palm grazed the surface, feeling the distortion of spatial laws. It was strong. Extremely strong for a mere vortex of energy. A little hesitant, a ball of Qi gathered in my hand as I tossed it through as I closed my eyes, sensing the energy travel through the vortex into… suddenly losing my connection with my Qi, my frown deepened.
"What the hell?"
Annoyed, I tried it again, adding runes and other protective formations around my Qi, but once more, the connection between me and my Qi was cut.
"How odd. Maybe I should ask Lilith. Her Qi has more applications than mine."
Sending out a message through my divine sense, Lilith arrived a few seconds later, holding onto the little kiddos sleeping away, baby droll flowing endlessly.
Lilith seemed to frown the moment her eyes crossed with the gate. I felt a hint of forewarning cut across the edge of the vortex. When a bolt of lightning emerged, slashing towards Lilith like a knife.
A little too slow as, I caught it with my bare hands, shattering the energy into a constalation of embers with a dark frown. "What the hell?"
"A seal… A Seal to the Prime Evils," said Lilith darkly. "What the hell is this?"
I turned to Lilith. "The what?"
"The living embodiment of the Seven Sins. The seal must have sensed my intent to try to penetrate its depths." Lilith frowned, glanced down at the children, and shook her head. "Lets not—"
"Ah… I remember now. Yeah. It was about Eve and her son Abel." Suddenly recalling the matter, I spoke out. "She was trying to resurrect her son, but when she failed, she went mad. And—-"
"Created the Living Embodyment of the Seven Sins," Came the voice of Eve from within the strange gate. She emerged with a sort of scowl on her lips. "Why are you two here again?"
"This is the entrance to Eden," said Lilith, glancing at me to confirm.
And I did with a nod.
"I tried putting in some qi, but the connection was cut."
"I did that," said Eve, frowning. "You were trying to breach my domain."
Now that is interesting. Being an Archeaon has a few benefits, bending reality in my favor being one. For my Qi to find its way to Eve's domain must mean either that particular domain is the key to Eden or it is extremely dangerous that the will controlling my Qi saw to ignore its original intent and follow something else.
How curious.
"The Prime Evils, eh? Can we see it?" I asked, watching as Eve's expression became one of disbelief.
"You… Want to see it. The seal? The most powerful seal in all of Creation blocking back the Seven forces that could annihilate the Myriad Heaven and the Abyss."
"Yes," said Lilith and myself.
"Unfortunately, I can't allow that." She said, annoying me to no end. "And before you try to force yourself through. You'll die. I'm literally powerful enough to challenge just about any Archangel and Fallen. You'll die in a single hit."
Ignoring the warning of her tone, I shook my head. "I could ask Zariel to aid me. I'm sure he'll be interested in this seal. You powerful enough to beat him?"
"Aren't you, his older brother!" Eve shouted. "Are you so shameless you'll ask for his help? Your little brother?"
"Apparently so," I gleefully teased, though is it really shameful? He is my brother. We are family. Eve's few on the subject must be skewed.
With a growl echoing from the back of her throat, Eve snorted. "Your such a dick,"
"I know, right," said Lilith, eyeing me like I had done something.
Ahh~ the challenges of being both sexy and strong. First-world problems.
"I can literally hear your narcissistic thoughts," Lilith snapped, snorting when Iza popped open her beady eyes.
She looked around, cooing as her arms shot out towards Eve. "AAAA~ AAAAAAH~"
Eve hesitantly took a step back. " I don't do babies."
"... The mother of mothers doesn't do babies." I looked at her, though it didn't take long for me to recall her less-than-ideal situation.
The loss of a child, that madness she experienced. Not liking babies is understandable. But IZA IS SO CUTE!!!!
Look at those squishy cheeks!
Stealing the little girl away from Lilith, I tip-toed toward Eve's side, allowing little Iza to have a closer look.
"Gabba!" she said, giggling with a droll flowing down her chin.
"She's spoken. Eve, you are now Gabba!"
"Give me my damn child," Lilith said, snatching the little girl away as Eve chuckled, losing her serious expression. She hesitated for a moment, thinking for a full minute.
"Look. the only people allowed here are Mephisto and me. Less than five people have ever stepped foot within these lands, and all of them have sworn an oath not to destroy the seal."
"So Zariel hasn't been here?" I asked her.
"If he were, and if he didn't have manic episodes every so often. I'd have asked him to aid with the resealing due to the damage Mephisto caused." Said Eve, alerting myself and Lilith.
That particular sword he was using during our last battle emerged in my mind.
"That bastard siphoned the energies of the Seven Prime Evils for his little project. That not only agitated the Prime Evils but also weakened the barrier. I've been trying to stabilize the seal, but… It's only a matter of time before it shatters."
"Umm. Correct me if I'm wrong, but… didn't you just say that they had the power to destroy the Mryiad Hevens and the Abyss? Why the hell would Mephisto—"
"Why don't you ask him?" Eve snapped at me as if I was the one who caused it. " That fucker laughed and suddenly vanished. I haven't seen his bitch ass since! Why don't you ask him, seeing that you're his disciple!"

Chapitre 1311: Adam and Eve I
"How about you meet the wife and twins." I hurriedly said, a little proud of myself; it was an art being able to get beneath someone's skin.
No idea why people think being calm and mysterious is the norm. That shit is weak. You meet this king, and I'm going to piss you off.
What's life without a little Wrath?
Seething a ball of fire in her ample bosom, Eve gave a sort of crooked smile and said, "Was this all a test."
Fuck no, this is just me! Who the hell has time to come up with schemes on the fly just to piss off the Mother of Mothers. But who would I, the great Arsene Snow, be if people misunderstand me?
With an elegant flick to my regal hair, I snickered, "My genius IQ is over 9000. Well? Care to meet the fam? I'm sure they'd like to meet a legend like you."
1Eve studied me for a while as if to gauge something. "Aren't you interested in the Gate?"
"Not when the Mommy of Mommies is with me."
She grinned. It was a shy one. "Now I'm embarrassed."
Leading Eve back towards the tavern, Lilith welcomed me back with a curious gleam in her starry red eyes. A sort of knowing awareness filled her pupils as she said, "Welcome, Eve."
I might have been jealous if I didn't possess such an ability. Though Lilith's level of control was something I could never hope to imitate. Not without real practice. Being all-knowing wasn't fun. Not at all. Despite my realm, I instinctually have to create barriers in order not to be overwhelmed, allowing some information my consciousness deemed fit to enter. Even as an Archeon. Though it was a lot easier to control on the fly.
"I trust my Husband was not too rude." she continued.
"Perfect gentleman." I professed.
"He asked if Mephisto was fucking me. What do you think?"
I coughed into my fist. "In my defense, Eve is a very attractive woman. I just assumed Mephisto was tapping that."
"I swear we might have to buy you a muzzle. You're getting worse."
Stealing little Iza off my wife, the little one cooed a "Weee~" as I spun her around.
"Eve, this is Izalith. Iza for short." I pointed to Ves, still asleep in his mother's arms. "That's Vesryn, the youngest. Cute right? He's the chill one. Iza here likes to explore. It's why she's always up."
Perhaps it was my imagination, but for a second, as she smiled, Eve looked so sad.
"You two ought to protect them better," Eve whispered. "if there was one singular advice I could give. Don't trust the Seraphims or Fallen. No matter how pure their intentions. No such thing as too much protection when your kid has a target. "
Lilith had been about to speak, but Eve was gone in the blink of an eye. Her aura fading from existence.
"Must be hard. Losing a Son and having the other go mad." Lilith said.
I had heard of the story of Cain and Abel, though I couldn't really relate. Never really thought of killing Zariel before. Maybe when he cockblocked. But to actually kill him because of jealousy seemed… It seemed both sad and pathetic.
"After Abel's murder… Cain was cursed. Though I'm not sure how or why he was," said Lilith, heading back to our room as I followed with Iza. "He went mad. Becoming a sort of pillar of evil within the myriad heavens. But after a while, he vanished. Though I can't imagine he's in the right headspace."
"Eve didn't try to find him?"
Lilith looked at me funny, managing a smile. "The Seraphim all have a peculiar relationship; some even view it to be toxic. The same can be said for the original couple. Adam and Eve hated one another. And I mean, they hated each other. Adam blamed Eve for his fall. Said she seduced him. Eve, being Eve, ignored it. She had children to raise, more than what you and I have. Cast from out of Eden… they were ravaged by the elements, their only aid being the watchers and a few fallen."
Finding a seat on the bed beside Ves. I laid Iza down as she crawled to her brother's side to sleep on top of him.
"So Adam really blamed Eve for getting him laid? Shit. If you were naked and offered me a forbidden apple. I'm definitely taking it."
Lilith smirked. "When did I mention anything about sex?"
"Come on. We both know Eve is fine as hell. That boy Adam had to have been trying to live up inside there unless he was gay or something. I'd be putting in that work all day!"
Lilith only seemed to giggle. "true. Either way. After the death of Abel. Eve lost it, nearly killing Adam before leaving with her daughter Azura."
"Daughter, you say? I thought it was only Cain and Abel."
Lilith made a face. "They had about ten children, dummy."
"and a lot of incest. Damn."
"Different time, I guess," said Lilith calmly. "marriage and other shit like that didn't occur until maybe the hundredth generation. By then, there were over a thousand high humans. And even then, it wasn't a common practice until mutations started to occur, resulting in celestials, aka the first of his kind, Soloman.
"LOL!!!!!! Solomon is retarded, hahahahaha. Damn!"
"Sene, you'll wake them up!" Lilith hissed, flicking me on the head.
"Oh there, fine. They didn't wake up when I was clapping those cheeks. A bit of laughter won't hurt." I told her, feeling I had won some sort of battle by how red her cheeks became. "But you know a lot. Was all of that from your omniscience?"
"Sene, you live in the Myriad Heavens. You're a powerful god. How do you not know its lore? You literally live in hell. You have histories in your records people can't even imagine."
"Girl, you know I'm lazy. Shit like that isn't going to help me destroy those fools within my Hells. I've got a border crisis and other bitch ass monarchs commanding their subjects to slaughter a bit of my people. Learning why Adam got cocked by Lucifer or why Eve left his ass is the last thing on my mind."
Lilith groaned. "You're a god… You can literally make a hundred clones. You're just being lazy."
"True…" And my eyes slid down her robes. "But I do have a succubus sucking me dry day in and day out."
Lilith smirked. "At least you know."
