"Oh, co on, Arsene," Lily said sternly as cosmic energy serged around my Soul Fla. "You need to envision it. You have Tenebrae's everlasting grace, the Abyss's blessing, and my Abyssal fragnt, but none of that ans shit if you can't envision what you wish to be."
"That's kinda hard when I don't know what that entails… I'm a Mid God capable of killing elder Gods… not to toot my own horn, but can I get any more perfect? Literally. I'm so broken I can't get any better."
Lily sighed. "Well, you need to think of sothing. You are literally in a position to cheat the system—"
"I know," I begrudgingly moaned, cutting to the point. " But I'm immune to everything. I guess I could adapt instantly, but Zariel did it smartly. He made it, so my body, or I guess, soul, needed ti to adapt at a steady rate. If I increase that, I may end up as stone for ssing with genetics faster than I can think… what can you give a man that has everything?"
"...we both know the answer to that… she gave you half."
She did, didn't she… what Tenebrae gave was sothing no man nor God can grasp. I would represent the laws… no, I could 'be' a law.
'!!!'
I could be the Darkness or at least half of it. I'm sure Zariel did sothing similar. The highest power we mortals have is the soul: If I were to turn half my soul into darkness due to my commitnt to Tenebrae and the other Abyssal due to Lilith.
"Son of a Bitch!" I snapped, thinking out loud.
"What? Have you decided on if you want your cock to have a slight bend? So think it's strange but let tell you, if you—"
"Lily, shut it! That bastard Zariel did it. He thought of the beginning and the end."
"What do you an?"
"Lucifer… you've t him, right?" I asked.
"We have." She answered.
"And have you scanned him?"
"I have."
"What about Tenebrae?"
"I scanned her too. What are you getting at?"
"The soul Lily! The bloody souls are the sa? Did Lucifer rge with the Myriad Sin of Pride?"
A sudden gasp echoed through my mind as I felt my soul struck by a cord.
" you scanned phisto too… did you also find The Myriad Sin of Pride? Of course, you did. To reach the next level, past the confines of a mortal, Fallen or Angels for that matter, must beco said Sin or Virtues. Zariel knew this. He had to. He probably rged with the Weave. They are emulating the Avatars of Heaven and Earth."
"Hellmaster, Hell. Tenebrae, Darkness. Mithra, Light. Lunafreya, Moon. It all makes sense. They might not have reached the true level of Hellmaster or Tenebrae, but they are getting close."
"What if adaptation was only a by-product? What if it really was ant to acquire two supre powers? Like Darkness and Abyss?"
"That doesn't make sense," Lilly said after so silence. "So many things had happened outside his control. He couldn't have known you'd beco the bridge. Shit, not even phisto could have known."
"That'd be the beauty of the plan… he didn't need to. It was for to pick anyway. I don't need a new body. I need a new soul. One that's on a path set to rival Zariel or Lucifer. I want to rge my very being into the darkness and the Abyss. And not so surface-level shit. I want to beco them. I'd truly be whatever the hell Tenebrae is."
"Shit… no one's ever rged with more than one. Even phisto… he's the only one with all seven Virtues and Sins, but he can't use them all. He's got to switch them out like slots. That's how he wanted it." Lily figured in a murmur or two
"The Monarch of Abyssal Night… seems like soone figured out my ending." I mused, thinking about the creator of this mantra. "Will I need Lilith?"
"You will," said Lily. "You might have to beg. To grovel on your knees like a common consort."
"You got fucked up and confused with soone else. What the hell would I beg for?" I snapped, feeling the nebula of stardust shutter at my anger. "If anything, she ought to kneel before this King. And prostrate herself before my—"
"... Are you high on fus? The chances of that happening is zero… What kind of woman do you think your wife is? She may submit a little, but I don't think she'll bend over backward like so common whore. She, not your goddamn toy."
"I never said she was… And if anything, she bullies ! Answer this? What have I done to her?"
"I-I—"
"See! I haven't done shit! She tortured for years! Do I have to bring up how she threw dozens of bloodlines in just to make sure our future kids would be—
"Are you even mad about that, or are you fishing for sothing?"
"..."
"You're a damn devil. Do you even still care? In fact. Were you even that mad?"
"A little~. "
"You little bitch." Said Lily with a giggle. "Just call her up. Iza is a daddy's girl. So obviously, the na wasn't an issue."
I smiled at that.
"Get Lilith… marrying another woman will infuriate her so much that she might pop a fuse. And since it's a woman she can't kill, I'm sure she'll be even angrier."
"Who knows… maybe Father and Daughter will share a 'al' together. I don't see it fucking happening, but yeah. A father can dream… Gods, are you hard? What the fuck, Arsene!"
"First off! I don't even have a physical body, so stop making shit up! And summon my wife."
Imdiately sensing a change in the chaos surrounding , a pair of Athyst eyes caught my attention… filled with worry, sothing in dipped.
"Sene… I think… I think I may have fucked up. I pulled a, you."
If I truly had a physical body, I would be nodding at this mont as my very soul burst with pride. " Don't tell yet… did it feel good? Did it feel good to join the dark side?"
"Sene! This is serious. I pissed off the Pale Lord."
"She a damn loli. Give her a lollipop."
Eyes wide as stars, her lovely gaze instantly turned to fury. "You can't possibly think that'll work!"
"Well… Maybe. My sister loves Lollipops. Especially the ones bigger than her head. It's like heroin to her… that and pastries, but who doesn't like pastries. She loves fruit custard tarts. That's her favorite. "
"Sene, I swear to god I'm going to kick you in the balls!"
Chuckling, having laid the trap, I decided to drop the nuke. "Well, I'm a little happy, is all… Tenebrae just proposed."
