Chapter 58: Awakening

"LEAVE HER ALONE!" Bane screamed, pulling futility at the chains that bound him, but Loki only laughed.

"You see? I just can't do that. I told you what I was going to do, step by step! I even used my announcer's voice!" Loki laughed, and started to spin on the spot so he could whisk the sweat from his brow. While he could kill him easily, Guardian had instructed him to take his time. The Supreme One would be watching it all, and she had a sick and twisted sense of entertainment. "Oh, Bane! Your girl is getting a taste of the price of loving you. How does it feel to watch?"

Bane could only look at Nina's body with pain in his heart. He had so many plans thought up in his head, but this Devil having a Domain like the one he had commandeered from Diagatz was not in any of them. Bane had even tried closing his eyes to access his own Domain, but like the shackles holding him in place, something held him back, preventing entry to the Domain of Dead Kings.
