Meanwhile in the Underworld

Lucy Morningstar sat on her throne in the Underworld, her fiery gaze fixed on the swirling embers that danced in the air before her. She had just communicated with her son—her baby boy, her only biological son, her little Noboru—who needed her help. Now, with a slow exhale, she leaned back against the crimson velvet of her seat, her gaze filled with overprotectiveness.

"My baby boy needs my help," she murmured to herself.

Lucy was a vision of regal dominance, her presence as commanding as the inferno that surrounded her. Her long, flowing crimson hair cascaded over her shoulders like liquid fire, streaked with darker shades of burgundy that shimmered under the flickering glow of the torches lining the obsidian chamber. Twin horns, curved and sharp, emerged from her head, blending seamlessly with her locks.

Her eyes, burning rubies set into a pale, beautiful face carved to perfection, gleamed with an unspoken power, their glow shifting like molten lava. A confident smirk played upon her lips. She had high cheekbones, a perfectly arched brow, and a jawline kissed by the shadows.

She was adorned in a gown—a deep red masterpiece with golden embroidery weaving intricate symbols of her dominion over the Underworld. The fabric hugged her form, emphasizing the G-cup curves of her body—both seductive and intimidating in equal measure. The high slit in her dress revealed legs encased in thigh-high crimson stockings, each step she took promising both elegance and destruction. Golden gauntlets encased her hands, the metal engraved with sigils of fire, while her fingertips shimmered with barely contained flames, flickering and twisting with each subtle movement.

Draped over her shoulders was a dark cloak, lined with a rich, velvety red that billowed as if stirred by an invisible wind. Her throne, a construct of obsidian and iron, bore intricate carvings of serpents and ancient deities, its backrest adorned with a quilted crimson cushion befitting her stature.

As she sat, her fingers idly traced the armrest, and with a mere flick of her wrist, embers ignited into flames, crackling in a mesmerizing dance.

She sighed, eyes narrowing as she pondered Noboru's request. He needed her help, and though she had given him freedom, a mother's duty was eternal. The Underworld may have been her domain, but her son was her responsibility.

With a slow, deliberate movement, she rose from her throne, flames licking at the hem of her gown as if bowing in reverence.

"It's time," she murmured, her voice smooth as molten gold. "Let's remind them who we are."

"Greed!" Lucy yelled, summoning her strongest warrior.

A woman came running. "Yes, my queen?"

Greed stood at 5'9", her H-cup breasts accentuated by the black sleeveless leather top she wore. The V-neck cut plunged down to her navel, leaving her cleavage exposed. A short black leather skirt clung to her curves, secured by a thick belt around her waist. Completing her ensemble were thigh-high black leather boots and black gloves that extended up to her elbows.

Her long blonde hair cascaded down her back, reaching her waist. She had a slim figure—narrow waist, wide hips, and a well-rounded rear. Her pale skin contrasted sharply with her striking green eyes.

"Summon everyone. Now!" Lucy commanded, her voice laced with authority.

"Right away, my lady." Greed bowed before vanishing.

Within moments, Greed had summoned the others, and they appeared before their mistress. Lucy scanned the assembled demons—her children. Unlike Noboru, she had not birthed them but carved them out of concepts, the opposites of that man's angels. Noboru was her baby, the one she had carried for months and brought into the world. Yet now, his own father dared to threaten him.

She looked at her strongest warriors—the Seven Deadly Sins—all beautiful women. They would serve her baby boy, protect him, and ensure his safety. She had created every one of them for him. And now, her son's own father was a danger to him.

"My lady, we are here as ordered," Gluttony said.

Gluttony stood at 5'10". Her I-cup breasts were barely contained by the tight, white tank top with a deep V-neck cut. She wore a snug white leather mini skirt that showcased her long legs, secured with a white belt around her waist. A pair of thigh-high white leather boots and white gloves reaching up to her elbows completed her look.

Her platinum blonde hair fell to her lower back. She had a curvy figure, a slim waist, wide hips, and a full, round rear. Her pale skin was flawless, and her purple eyes gleamed with intensity.

"What happened? Why were we summoned?" Pride asked.

Pride stood at 5'6". Her J-cup breasts were pushed up by the tight black corset she wore, the deep V-neck exposing an ample amount of cleavage. A black leather mini skirt hugged her hips, accentuated by a black belt. Black thigh-high boots and long black gloves completed her outfit.

Her black hair cascaded down her lower back, framing her pale, elegant features. Her crimson eyes burned with curiosity.

"My baby boy requires us," Lucy declared. "He needs to bait his father into doing something that will ensure his survival."

"I see. We will do whatever you require," Lust said.

Lust stood at 5'8", her DD-cup breasts cradled by a light blue halter top with a deep V-neck cut. A white leather mini skirt highlighted her long legs, cinched with a large white belt. Light blue thigh-high boots and matching gloves complemented her attire.

Her golden blonde hair reached her lower back, and her pale skin was flawless. Her deep blue eyes shimmered with anticipation.

"So what does my lord need?" Wrath asked.

Wrath stood at 5'6". Her I-cup breasts were barely constrained by the tight red top that highlighted her ample cleavage. A white leather mini skirt clung to her form, secured by a black belt. Red thigh-high leather boots and black gloves completed her look.

Her long blonde hair flowed down to her lower back. She had a petite waist, wide hips, and a generous rear. Her green eyes flashed with barely restrained aggression.

"He has created the Shadow Realm," Lucy explained, "and now he needs his mother's army to come and lure his father into a clash. He wants his father to feel the fury of a mother whose child is threatened."

"Understood," Envy said.

Envy stood at 5'5". Her J-cup breasts strained against the green spaghetti strap tank top with a deep V-neck cut. A white leather mini skirt clung to her curves, a green belt wrapped around her waist. Green thigh-high boots and matching gloves completed her outfit.

Her platinum blonde hair fell to her lower back. She had a curvy figure, a small waist, wide hips, and a well-rounded rear. Her pale skin contrasted with her emerald green eyes.

"We will do our best," Sloth added.

Sloth stood at 5'1". Her C-cup breasts were modest compared to the others, accentuated by a brown leather corset with a V-neck cut. She wore thigh-high brown leather boots and matching gloves that reached her elbows.

Her auburn hair flowed down to her lower back. She had a curvy figure, a slim waist, wide hips, and a soft, full rear. Her pale skin was offset by her light purple eyes.

"Thank you all," Lucy said, her voice laced with resolve. "Now, let's move out!"

"Yes, my queen!" the Seven Deadly Sins replied in unison.

With that, the group made their way to the Shadow Realm.
