The only thing ruining this mont is the constantly spying demon lord.
He grew irritated and extended his spirit into his surroundings. His soul ripped control of the montum of the surroundings from her. Then he cloaked himself in it. He finally has peace and quiet.
He sighed contently. "That's better."
Then he noticed that another thread of chaos was flowing into the fla on his crown. His act of usurping the control of the demon lord is against the order of the abyss so it created chaos to empower him. The result encouraged him, so he actively pulled on the montum with the Chaos energy around him and fed it into his fla. The fla ate it up and began to grow faster.
He chuckled. "Even better."
Her control of montum isn't as absolute as her control of the energy well. She is sitting right in the energy well, so he will have to move there to get it from her. Even then, he won't succeed unless he kills her or she gives it up.
But the montum around him can be forcefully taken from her. Her flimsy control over it couldn't stand against the combination of his expert knowledge of montum, and his powerful soul. He would have done it just to get so privacy and to spite her. The improvent of his Accumulation of Chaos ability is a bonus.
He grinned happily. "She must be fuming right now."
He didn't need to guess her reaction. She is banging on his domain from the outside where she still has control. Having part of her power taken is a great insult. Taking sothing that belongs to a demon of gluttony is a life-and-death matter. So yes, she is really pissed right now.
He let her regain so of her control. Her divine sense flooded in imdiately.
"What have you done?" She screeched at him.
"Nothing. I am just admiring the lovely view of the abyss. Don't you think the plane is beautiful from this height." He answered nonchalantly.
"Are you mocking ?" She growled at him.
Her mood was affecting the non-existent weather on the plane. The scanty ashy clouds in the sky were agitated and lightning flashed through them.
He was still unbothered. "Alright. I admit I have done a lot recently. Which one of my activities has crossed you?"
She yelled at him. "You are playing with fire."
That isn't a threat to him. He has literally been burning ever since he beca capable of movent. He is sure any fire that she can dish out cannot compare to the Chaos flas burning on his body.
Aeternus rolled his eyes. "Just say what I did wrong that has made you so angry. Then maybe I'll apologize."
He wanted her to admit that she lost control of her montum to him or that he stole so of her power. Anything would have been okay for him. But Beelta couldn't answer. She stared rigidly at him while her emotions boiled. Of all the things that she might have considered the weird demon to be, she never considered him a threat. That might not be the case anymore.
He was supposed to be her prey and anything opposite to that was simply impossible and laughable. But recent events are making that prospect very possible. It hadn't turned her against the idea of eating him though. It had only made her want him the more.
Still, she recognized the rising risk that this weird demon is to her. It is not every day that demons of any kind usurp her authority from her.
"Well, I have places to be and things to do." Aeternus began flying.
Since she won't admit her loss to him, he had better find another source of entertainnt. The divine sense followed him even though he moved faster than 5 tis the speed of sound.
"You know I am the demon lord of this plane of the abyss right?" She asked.
Aeternus wondered out loud. "Hmm, so that's who you are. Who would have thought that the demon lord has a hobby of stalking innocent demons."
She ignored his jab at her and continued. "I control the entry and exit into the plane. I might not be able to do anything to harm you right now. That will change if you reach the domain of noble demons or if you leave the plane through the abyss altar."
"Let's cut to the chase. Why are you telling this?"
"To let you know that there's no way out for you."
Aeternus nodded. "Hard to believe that since you said the sa thing earlier and you were wrong. Do you rember that ti when you planned my mont of desperation? I was wrong, you weren't a fool. Instead of waiting for my mont of desperation and then offering help, you decided to create it yourself. Have I complinted you about that yet?"
"I know you're angry, but there's no way out for you. Unless you use one of the powerful tools you found in that ring, even then you won't be able to kill like you killed those 300 high-rank demons."
Aeternus did not react to her ntion of the powerful tool he used to kill the 300 high-rank demons.
He spoke calmly, "Right. You figured that since you're made of stronger stuff, I can't kill you that way."
"Yes, I am."
I never asked. What do you want with anyway? What deal do I have to make with you so that you will leave alone?"
"At first I wanted you to promise to do whatever is needed for to get access to the chaos energy you have."
Aeternus interrupted her, "By "whatever," you an even my death right?"
She ignored his question and continued. "But that has changed. In a gesture of goodwill, all you have to do is tell all you know about the chaos energy, how you got it and what else is in the spatial artifact."
"Not a bad deal. Will you give ti to think about it?"
The demon lord spoke amicably. "Of course. I'll give you 10 years."
