Bab 253: Second Trial - Prologue

"Well, aren't you lucky?" I sneered, glaring towards the prince, scowling back.

"Lucky? You truly do not understand the hells, do you?" Bael whispered in horror, "We may govern its circles, but we are not its rulers. To fall into its sins is...is... Let's just leave it as that. You will break. None are exempted, even Asmodeus himself.

Gripping my hairless chin, I pondered over his words, "So will you assist me, Bael? Or are you still blinded by your wrath?"

Growing silent for a moment, Bael suddenly smiled, "I shall relay some info. I truly want to see how Sitri breaks you. They say a soul bender will always break under the hands of his soul mate. It will be quite the sight to see you on your knees begging."

Chuckling at his words, I cracked my neck, waiting as he continued. "Sitri is governing over your next trial. Located on the Isles of Yu'drol."

That name again, so I was right. So I have no choice but to walk into a trap unless I want to give up on the question I asked. 'who am I.

"And Sitri has already received permission from Asmodeus to personally descend to create your trial, and he is still there." Said Bael.

Gulping down in fear, I shuddered, staring at the crimson mirror, "Why does Sitri think I will visit the Isles of Yu'drol." I asked, feeling there were far too many strings going on regarding this mysterious place.

"Have you heard of Astrid, the Fallen Goddess?" Bael uttered in a menacing tone as I trembled at the name, "From the looks of it, it would seem you are already in his scheme. After he is done with you, Arsene, the only path left for you will be Yu'drol."

"The Nines is helping him!" I yelled as Bael shrugged,

"Probably, but does it matter? Once you land in Yu'drol, be ready to face those gods. This will not be a fair battle Arsene. Sitri is a man of madness and cruelty. Tragedy follows him with every step, be ready to lose something, boy. If you haven't already."

"Yur...No, she is safe." I weakly whispered as the howls of baels laughter began to echo through my skull,

"It has already begun. We shall meet once more Arsene Snow within the Lands of Yu'drol."

Watching as the bloody mirror turn to ash, fading away like a mist in the winds. My gaze slowly began to turn sub-zero.

Pushing my connection to Lilith, I spoke, "Sitri has made his move; where are you!"

Waiting for a few seconds, Lilith's connection began to grow stronger as her soft, gentle voice echoed within my soul, "The Abyss... I... Ummm, how long has it been there?"

"The abyss? It's been four months. The hell have you been doing?" I asked in a worried tone as Lilith's connection grew silent.

"...Ummm... I can't say. But I will need a few more months; I am... researching something." Lilith weakly said as if she was lying.

"Research?" I hummed in amusement, "Not study or comprehend. So it's either something that has nothing to do with the abyss, or you found a strange artifact within the Depts."

Smirking, I rolled my eyes, "Whatever, anyway, I do not want you to come to the Yu'drol with me! The will of the Nines cannot reach you in the abyss, but..."

"No, I will be joining you, Arsene. I will explain later!" Lilith quickly said in a hurry as the connection suddenly dropped. Scrunching my brow, I sighed.

"What is that girl doing?" I whispered as I looked down through the clouds towards the large root of the world tree. " But why did Ygg neglect to mention Sitri but told me about Solomon?"

Smiling at the game going on, I fell from the heavens towards the world tree. Blasting through the clouds, my clothes grew damp before drying as my body continue to crash down.

Coming to a quick halt a few centimeters above the ground, "Ygg, why not tell me about the Isle of Yu'drol. Or do even you not understand what has been happening?"

Laughing in a demonic tone, I turned around, taking my leave as bloodlust began to overflow from my body. Trust not even your reality, for it's merely an illusion of your perception. Remembering the similar words of Gabriel, I entered my empty room sitting in the lotus position.

Closing my eyes, my spirit was suddenly transported into a large castle located within the depths of my blood. Staring at the Infernal Palace that held all the information of the Orginal Bael, I took a large step in appearing within an infinitely long library. No matter how far I stared, the pillars of knowledge held by Bael flowed endlessly further than my eyes could take me.

"Fuck that, finding anything here would take years!" I yelled in annoyance, "bael, you asshole, you truly are a greedy bastard!"

THinking for a while that there may be an AI controlling the Infernal Palace, I spoke, "I wish for books that can absorb the Lightning of Tribulation, turning it into your own power."

<3,000 souls>

Clenching my teeth at the robbery, I bitterly nodded, "Take em "

Watching space twist, my body was suddenly transported somewhere within the Infernal Libary. Staring at the billions of books, all with the heavenly emblem of Lilithning upon them, I felt both happy and annoyed.

"You truly are a greedy bastard," I whispered in a hushed tone, "Give me the best out of all these that matches someone who can adapt to anything. Just take the souls; I don't want to know the price."

Crying inwardly at the large chunk of souls that quickly vanished, my heart trembled as I glared at the misty book within my sights.

<Infernal Lightning- 100,000 souls>

Clenching my eyes, I sighed, "Bael, I hope you are being tortured for what you did. No wonder Lilith said not to trade anything within this realm. Take the souls," I weakly said as the knowledge of the Infernal Lightning filled my mind.

Infernal Lightning - Summon the Hellish lightning from the depths of hell. By absorbing various forms of Lightning ether from creation, the Arte user will gather the Ether of Infernal Lightning.

"I like how I was only able to read the description after buying this arte. Is this another way of you trying to fuck over the younger generation, Bael? Guess it worked out for me. This was not really what I was looking for, but it works."


Bab 254: Spirit Realm - Tribulation

Opening my eyes to reality, I sighed, "And just like that 200,000 souls I collected turned into ten thousand."

Rising from the wooden pavement, I stared at the moonlight flowing through my room. Sensing profound tranquility within my soul, my body quickly fell upon my bed as a wave of comfort exploded from within.

"Lord Abaddon, you are awake!" An elderly voice called as I turned towards Eluf. "It's been a week!"

Huh?

Scrunching my brow, my tranquil mood was all but destroyed as I cursed, "Bael, you fucking prick! You even fuck with my perception."

Coughing gently, Eluf bowed, "My lord, I have prepared for your tribulation. It shall be next to the Worl..."

"Nope, I am not trying for Ygg to kill me." I coldly said as Eluf eyes grew wide, "She already has her own problems."

Taking out my phone, I coldly smiled, sending Ezra and her little slaves a message. Snickering in a sinister manner, evil laughter echoed out as I glared down at my phone, "I will have my vengeance!"

How dare she not take care of her master in his time of need. Lifting my head towards Eluf, I smiled, "Let's move somewhere else, preferably somewhere secluded. I don't want to be faulted if this village is destroyed."

"Lord Abaddon, no offense, but it is only a spirit realm tribulation. It's only two strikes of heavenly lightning." Eluf tried to explain as I merely shrugged.

"I agree with Eluf, "Melinoë nosily said, flickering within my room, her face covered in grease as she stared at me without shame, licking her fingers, "Even if you did something to piss the heavens off, there is a limit to everything."

"If you believe that go ahead, but you are the one risking your people's lives." I effortlessly explained, shrugging without care. The lives of the innocent were never of any consequence to me. We all have to die someday.

Taking note of the contempt within Elufs expression hidden behind his kind exterior, my lips curled, "Fine, you pick."

"Than follow me, Lord Abaddon," Eluf confidently said, flickering away, while I followed behind. Zooming through the village of Katala towards the World Tree, I simply frown.

Eyeing one of the lesser roots of nine realms, I shook my head, "Blame them; I gave them a warning."

Suddenly, space began to shift as three being radiating demonic qi appeared beside the world tree. Stating at Melinoë for a while, Ezra turned to me sneering, "Have you already found a god to warm your bed?"

"Sound like you have already opened your legs to him." Melinoë countered as I opened my eyes wide.

"Guys, this is..."

Cutting me off, Mare and Anya spat in unison, "You have a lot of nerve slut! We..."

"Enough, I like her!" Ezra suddenly said with a loving smile. Eying the pale goddess with a particular gleam.

Sensing the air seemingly vanish at these two intense stares at one another, I gently coughed, "Enough, you can kill each other if I survive."

"It's just a spirit Tribulation!" Said Ezra

"And what happened when I broke through to Earth realm? Did the god not descend? Did Lilith not have to interfere?" I coldly barked, silencing Ezra. "The Flames of Hellfire may help, but there is a good chance I may die."

Staring at the hundreds of men and women within a large formation, each of them in strange-looking robes. Sensing the worldly energy pulsing from them from the formation, I felt a powerful attraction force within the center of this formation.

"Lord Snow... Sorry Lord Abaddon, please enter the center. The core of this formation allows us to use the World tree's power to push our genius into the next level triggering a breakthrough. However, the biggest trade-off is that the World Tree will actually defend against a large portion of the Tribulation, allowing zero mortality when breaking through.

Drawing her weapon Ezra grew serious as an unholy aura began to radiate off her, "I have ten Devilkin divine souls, Arsene. That is all I can offer, but you will owe me. You had best hope you don't need it." Ezra coldly uttered while the vampiric twins shook in shock.

"My lady, the King Gifted you those. To use it on..."

"It's done. Now draw your weapons." Ezra viciously said as everyone opened their eyes wide towards the evil aura radiating from the crimson goddess.

Narrowing her eyes, Melinoë simply frowned, waving her palm as the darkness began to bend around her arms. Pulling out a terrifying Scythe engraved with gold and various mysterious metals, the Laws of Death began to overflow from her body, suffocating everyone with a primordial fear.

Taking a deep breath, I drew dragon bane before making my way into the center of the formation. Staring towards the heavens, a powerful explosion suddenly filled my body as Eluf opened his eyes wide.

"Di...di. did he just breakthrough without the formation?" He muttered before he grew silent.

Shattering the invisible barrier that linked my earth realm to the Spirit realm, I could feel my very soul tremble as an endless amount of qi from heaven and earth began to be consumed.

"ACTIVATE THE FORMATION!!!" Eluf screamed,

Suddenly my eyes grew wide as I could feel the Root of the World Tree begin to glimmer. Feeling pure qi created by a primordial being enter my soul, my body began to hover off the ground as I felt I was ascending to the heavens. Moaning in bliss, the heavens quickly began to grow dark as the Qi of Heaven and Earth that was entering my body began to freeze, slowly turning grey in color from its original azure pigment.

Gulping down, my feet slowly touched the ground as the Grey Qi began to rise within the air. Gripping Dragonsbane tighter, a strange formation began to take form. Quaking within my boots, my armor flashed as I gasped at the enormous pressure tearing into my flesh. Clenching my fist, I stood steadfast, my body tense and ready.

BOOOOM!!!! BOOOOM!!!! BOOOOM!!!!

Hearing the crackle of lightning flicker across the heavens around the strange formation, Ezra and Melinoë flickered to my side with icy expressions.

"Woe to the Vanquish," I muttered in a sinister tone staring up towards the heavens glaring back at me.

"Aldrich, Ruler of the Ninth Order, we meet once more," I coldly said as Ezra lowered her weapon, looking back at me with pure horror.

"N-n-n-ninth order... He is from the previous reality?" She whispered, quaking as her weapon fell from her hands. "Arsene, what have you done!"

Passing my hands through my hair, my soul began flaring with divine light as fragmented memories began to overflow, "yes... Yes!!! It truly is you! HAHAHAHA"

"Even in death, I could not forget, for it was you who killed me!" I coldly howled, clenching Dragonsbane, so tight blood began overflowing from my palm.

"In their despair, they shall hope, in their victory, they shall fall, in their success, we shall rise." Aldrich, God of the Ninth Order, ruthlessly declared furiously as the flashes of grey lightning began consuming all of Midgard. "Was that not his motto?"

Releasing a deprave laughter ashen flames began to overflow from my soul, "You are there, aren't you? Don't you have anything to say, Truck-kun? No, that is not your true name, is it?"

With blood flowing from my lips and eyes, the Fragmented memories began to burn with radiance, confusing me yet bringing me closer to insanity as a crimson gleam showered my eyes.

"ANSWER ME, LITTLE SISTER!!!"
