Chapter 216 A Devil and a Daeva
-Ugly.
-The sights we have witnessed were repugnant and grim.
-Vile.
-The people.
-The creatures.
-The beasts.
-The beings we observed...
-All of them were in a way sickening and disgusting.
-No matter how we rationalize.
-Everything is unreasonable.
-So.
-Hehe.
-Why don't we pluck our eyes and crush them?
Giggles and laughters of children echoed.
The sinless children that I robbed of their life of innocently laughed.
Their faces so varied and many that however I cannot remember each of their faces.
The many children that filled the entire area around me laughed, played with each other and with their voices sang songs without worry of the world.
Their joyful and happy expressions.
Their merry and cheerful voices as they sang a song.
Like worms they squirmed in the vast area.
-Eyes. Ah, we cannot bear it anymore.
-Daddy and Mommy's bodies.
-Burnt. Cut. In pieces.
-Crush. Crush. Our eyes please crush them.
-Ah. It hurts, please crush them.
The hellish screams of children as they pluck their own eyes.
-Hehe
-Now, everything's fine.
-No more suffering.
-No more evil.
-No more pain.
-We cannot see them so we won't suffer from them.
Rivers of blood flowed down in the cheeks of the children. Yet, a smile was plastered in those horrifying faces.
The sinless children that I robbed of their life of creepily laughed.
-Hehe.
-Heheheheh.
Their faces, now, all seemingly similar all wore a sickening smile.
-Heheheheheheheh.
The many children that filled the entire area around me laughed, played with each other and with their voices sang songs without worry of the world.
Their joyful and happy expressions.
Their merry and cheerful voices as they sang a song.
Like maggots in rotten flesh they disgustingly laughed.
...
...
...
-Ahhh...Ahhhh...
-Please...Someone...stop this...
-It hurts. It hurts. It hurts.
-The fire. Please, someone extinghuish the fire.
Descending to hell, one can hear the laments of pour souls.
Their entire flesh being burned and restored without interruption.
A perpetual pain for the flesh and the soul.
-Help us.
-We did not do anything wrong.
-Why are we here and you not?
-Ah...
-...
Their burning throats made speaking painful, taking a single step would burn the sole of their feet, no, nothing could be done.
The sinful have to burn. Those who have not sinned do not exist.
Only children are prohibited to land here.
You, on the other hand, are the most sinful being.
Yet-
...
...
How many times did I watch you experience those things over and over again? Millions of times? No, more than that.
No punishments can be given to stop you,
no rewards can be offered to placate you.
What are you?
You won't burn in these flames, you'll bask in them as if it was normal thing.
Your soul cannot be extinguished nor death will make you understand.
You will most likely rejoice when you are almost there, like us.
You chose the path similar to us...but you'll likely won't like us.
"Who?"
Child of the malevolent Angra Mainyu.
Disciple of the Devil known to be the Demiurge.
And...even called 'sister' by that Lilith the first human woman.
Your roots are deeper than some universes, grown healthy and strong thanks to a skilled farmer and become one of the most sturdiest tree of all.
But, why?
Even I cannot bear it, to suffer the pain that the souls of the ones I killed had to go through and adding their mental breakdowns.
Your mind and will are in the brink of collapsing, no, they collapsed many times and yet you stand up again and again not to reach any lofty goal but to face the same pain that caused you to collapse.
I ask you once again, what are you?
"I'm Deva. I...Where was I? This place...I don't remember reaching this place. No, where did I even start to reach this place."
This is a dream, little one, or to be more precise you were stuck in a nightmare that however you didn't succumb like it was intended.
"What?"
This isn't important. The will of a single universe is not that of a big deal, it was merely a warning, a warning to properly manage your subordinate.
Child, you've been fooling around and most likely continue despite having the tools to accomplish some of your goals.
"You are one of them, aren't you? One that is the same of Lilith."
Yes, that's right. I am Hecate, a being mostly associated with witchcraft, sorcery and boundaries.
"Are you here for-"
No, I am not. You ruined our plans, you caused the very Devils and Major Gods to lose their so wanted death but we won't touch someone connected to her or atleast take their life. You know so much already, you have so much already and yet you want to continue to play the God in this tiny place?
"You want me to conquer universes and built empires? While it might happen in the future that is too much for the present."
No, we want you to visit us, to reach the Abyss. You have all the requirements to make so that we can escape. In exhange, is a deal with each of us seventy-five Devils, deals with the Devils you might say. They aren't normal wishes, we can make wishes that can surpass the limits that 'Everything' had imposed without consequences, even the deal to replace the will of your universe and give all its authority to you, you do not care for riches as they can be already be obtained with your current powers but this?
"The price of making a deal with a Devil, what it is?"
The suffering of innumerable beings across the many universes and even the destruction of some. Think about the pain and misery you gave to the poor souls that met you, many will meet a fate similar to them and depending on the Devil they meet they'll suffer a gruesome end worse than the other.
"..."
Ahah, this is a deal then. I ask you once again, What are you?
"I am a-"
