Ch 2-The Birth of Diablo
The military chief held the page with the address of the stone statue and read it aloud to the old man, the princess's teacher:
"In Universe 4553,
In Sector 05,
On Planet Earth,
In the country USA,
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, D.C. 20500,
Inside the White House,
You will find a stone statue."
"This is what is written here, sir,"
he spoke in an agitated tone.
"Arrange and organize the team and leave immediately. Find that stone no matter what," the old man commanded sternly.
"But sir, in three days there is a grand ceremony in my world arranged specially for me. Are you sending me to this place because of some senile god?" the military chief responded, his agitation growing.
The old man turned and looked into the military chief's eyes, his gaze unwavering. "The senile old god inside is the God of Knowledge, and I am very serious about this matter," the old man said angrily and left.
"Sir..." the military chief responded helplessly.
------------------------------------
Inside the grand hall, where the princess and the God of Knowledge sat...
The princess spoke, "From the birth of the universe till this date, I have collected all the records from the Akashic Library,
and I have called for even more records from different universes. But in all of this, there is not a single record about the 'First Nexus'."
She paused before continuing, "Alright, for a moment let's forget about the records and this book.
Let's hear it from you. Who was that person? Was he a hero or a villain?
And what happened in that place?" (here that place is referred to as the first nexus)
The princess looked at the God of Knowledge with eyes full of curiosity.
The God of Knowledge sighed and began to speak,
"The source stone found inside the Nexus is an extremely valuable resource for the entire multiverse.
But the hands that mined this stone have a history of their own."
With a slight pause to take a breathe god of knowledge spoke in a serious tone
"In the multiverse, discovering a source stone is considered a rare and sought-after event.
In the year 882004 AD, in Universe 4553, Sector 08, which is 18 light years away from Sector 05, a war was ongoing.
During this time, a mortal found a strange stone buried in their lands."
"For the investigation of this strange stone, the lord of the universe sent some of his gods.
Among them was the child of the lord of the universe, Ravana."
"Fate played its hand that night. Two things happened: the first Nexus was found, and HE was also born."
The God of Knowledge paused for a moment, then continued with a slight chuckle,
He resumed his narration, "The source stone is not easily found, but Ravana discovered a mine of source stone disguised as ordinary stone.
He didn't let a single speck of dust escape that place.
He killed all the gods who came with him and reported their deaths as casualties of the ongoing war.
Ravana took control of that sector from the universe lord in the form of redemption for his fallen comrades.
To keep the secret of the source stone, he captured mortals and gods from neighboring areas and forced them to mine the source stones for him."
------------------------------------
In another place, at the same time in 882004 AD...
"As the world stands on the brink of a new millennium, some look forward to the coming era with hope, while others anticipate a prophesied end.
The clock ticks down toward midnight as a woman screams in pain during labor.
In the final second of the year, a baby's cry is heard for the first time as the clock strikes midnight.
The delivery was not easy, and the expectant mother lies powerlessly on the hospital bed.
Using what strength she has left, she reaches toward the midwife, who wears an expression of shock.
"'Please let me see my baby...' Her call breaks the midwife from his thoughts.
she signals the woman next to her and exits the room.
"The woman, wearing an expression similar to the midwife, hands the child to the new mother.
'It's a boy,' she says, her voice trembling.
"The mother holds her child for the first time and catches a glimpse of his face. Shock briefly seizes her as she stares at her newborn son. 'My baby... w-what's wrong with my baby...' As the shock fades, she begins to tremble, unable to express the growing anxiety in her heart.
She weeps, an agony greater than childbirth settling in. 'My child... my son...'
"Other than the mother's cries, the room is eerily silent.
None of the people can explain the phenomenon they've witnessed.
The child cradled in the mother's arms has a complexion entirely red, with clearly visible veins pulsing in his small limbs.
--------------
"For the first time in history, a human has given birth to a demon.
"As the mother's cries fade, she looks into the closed eyes of her newborn son with a mixture of pain and love. 'I will love you no matter what... Diablo.' The baby, as if hearing his mother's voice, trembles slightly in acknowledgment.
"See the cruel twist of fate: the world this child was born into is ruled by gods,
and demons who lost the war with the gods are used as slaves.
To avoid the same fate for her son, the mother immediately leaves the area before anything unexpected can happen.
-----------------
(10 year time skip)
She starts to live in seclusion, but this is not the end of her struggle.
She faces daily humiliation as the father of her child is a drug addict, and her son is a born demon. she had to cover her child in clothes so nobody could see his feature
although, sites of demons are not rare in the world as they are used as slaves by many nobles,
but human taking care of a demon child, if someone found it she would be sentenced to death
"She cries in seclusion daily but doesn't let her life affect the child.
"At fourteen years old, she was forced to marry.
At fifteen, she had a child.
Her entire life was filled with unimaginable pain.
----time skip----
At the age of twenty-five, even death came to her doorstep.
She only had one inheritance to leave to her son: her last words.
"In a trembling voice, she said, 'Everyone in the world says you can't live your life in peace without money, power and respect,
but nobody says they can't die in peace without this thing's.
Promise me
,I don't know how you live,
but when death comes to your doorstep, you will be the most powerful person in existence.'
"The child, with skin entirely red, cried tears of blood, looking at his mother's condition. He raised his hand, placing it in hers, and said, 'I will be the most powerful person, Mother.'
"As she heard her child's words, she finally closed her eyes for eternal sleep.
"The mother had shown him his goal. Now, how to reach that goal was entirely up to him."
