Sensing the surprise in Tene, I knew she, too, had figured out sothing. Everything was changing. First, the Fla of the Eternal Flas magically appears before this king. Then Lucifer and the others act strange by laying down roots. We need to be ready.
"Arsene, are you sure? There will be consequences. Zariel and Shiva will not be, pleased. We've established that—"
"Ignore them. And stall. If Shiva cos to you, we know he's an unbias enemy because he hasn't gone after the other gods."
"I'm different."
"Doesn't matter. To a Lord of Order, it shouldn't matter. Rules are rules. If Zariel makes an appearance, he might welco you or give you a warning. Ignore him."
My brother still had a job to do. And as God's protector, he is probably held to a higher standard than others, so his hands might be tied. But he should at least be able to do that much. So many rules have been broken in this Heaven that I'm surprised that no one has done anything.
"Understand. I'll be there in an hour." Tene said softly, carrying a hint of excitent in her tone.
I smiled as her presence faded and directed my focus to Lily. " Can you contact to Hellmaster?"
"Soone's busy. Of course, I can. Hubby Hellmaster paid a heavy price by destroying my body. That motherfucker is mine." Lily lustfully exclaid. "I'm going to haunt that bastard for all eternity till I'm pregnant!"
"..."
I really think Lily doesn't need a body. This bitch is too wild to be let loose. My God, she is going after Hellmaster.
Suddenly feeling a connection spring into existence between and another, I froze, following a booming voice.
"Who the f— Arsene? How the… how'd you… God damn, Lily!"
"Yo!" I said, hearing Lily mischievously giggling.
"What is it you want?" He begrudgingly asked.
"phisto and Michael. Are they still in Hell?"
Bloodlust flared around my skin, turning my face a deep pale as he grunted in response. "First Tenebrae using a Requrim Spell. Now them. You seem to be beloved, Arsene. So much so I want to wring your neck."
Chuckling a little, I shrugged. "it's not my fault. It's the sweetness. But can I assu that's a yes?"
"Yeah. phisto did sothing. And I'm locked out of the Fourth Heavens Domain of Hell. That bastard is deadly serious."
Even Hellmaster? Damn.
"Lord Hellmaster. I need a favor."
Hellmaster humd and his killing intent, to my relief, faded. "I don't do favors, boy. But do tell what it is."
"I wish for you to make an idol of worship on Ilutahth."
"Why?"
"Instincts," I replied. " You only need one. But sothing is telling your idol is required for the safety of my children."
"Good call," Lily whispered.
I didn't know why I felt this way. But I knew I needed to do this. I rely hoped it wasn't phisto's manipulation. He does have the ability to manipulate intent.
"I'll do so… if Michael lives." He replied, severing the connection between us.
My expression darkened as I heard his counteroffer. I've got to save the bastard Lily tried to pimp my daughter off to. What a joke.
Disgust bubbled in my gut. That bastard wanted dead, but now…
Sucking in a large breath, I hurriedly shook my head. " Stop thinking personally. Stop. We might need Michael. No one knows what's on the other side. I've got to just trust Iza.
Shit.
Clasping my arms together, a wisp of exhaustion flared over my heart as I groaned, having to make so many calls in a re few minutes.
I feel like Titus. He was always calling soone.
"phisto," I said in prayer, knowing he'd hear . "If you kill Michael. Lord Hellmaster will not create an idol. I don't know what you planned, but having soone like Hellmaster helping you will be beneficial. Please, reconsider. Michael is too important… and God knows how much I want him dead. But we might need him."
"Disciple." phisto ash-like voice uttered, chilling the core of my being. "I don't like people interfering in my plans. Michael's ti has co."
"And my children will be the ones to suffer. Your brother's grandson will be the one to suffer. Lily said Lord Hellmaster is to be Crowe's master. The kids will need to help each other out. Let him live."
Feeling phisto's presence fade, I could only sigh in frustration. I had no idea what phisto was going to do. I really wanted that bastard dead. But… not at the cost of a potential loss for Crowe and my kids."
For the first ti in a long ti since my rebirth, I felt disgusted with myself. Damn, I feel helpless. Screw that bastard Michael.
Glancing down at my Holocube, I spoke. " Show the way to the main base of Genesis on Ilutahth alongside all the War Zones along the way." Mapping out the way for , I couldn't help but feel a little better. "Whoever made GPS needs a tal. What a lifesaver."
"You still get lost? Aren't you semi-omniscient?" Lily asked.
"Yes. But I don't like always listening to the darkness, much less the other sins. It gets overwhelming. GPS is simple, you know. I don't need to think. Only follow the map."
Taking off towards the first stop, located just outside the eastern region of the Ebon Forest, I darted through space at a blinding speed that made light seem like a snail. Winds rippling against my clothing, a portion of my soul focused on my hive mind while the other contacted Ezra.
I only had a Dao Cycle to reach the Elvonian Sea, where the President of Genisis resides. Just the amount of ti to turn my disciple into a badass. I needed a general. A true monster. Talent could be altered and molded. But if a truly talented and strong will man with both these attributes is cultivated right, he'd be a future god killer.
Not bothering to catch up with Ezra, I had her use our bloodline connection to transport the little brat into my arms.
Catching sight of the tornted look on his young face, having felt the touch of Hell on his soul, I snorted. "Get used to it, boy. Life is going to be hard from here on out. You are about to be in a battle with hundreds of gods. And as a non-god, your chances of death are like a hundred. Your first job is to—Oh shit, I forgot about Tiamat!"
