"The truth?" Lucifer echoed.
"Yes, the truth. The creation of this world and the Pantheon was not done by nor by Aurora, the Goddess of Light, despite what everyone believes and what is written in the holy scriptures."
The revelation shocked Lucifer to his core.
"Then who is it?" Lucifer asked, his expression trembling for the first ti.
The Demon God sighed. "The sa existence you were just speaking of. The Ruination Extremity. He created us, the world, and the Pantheon on a whim as part of his grand plan."
"For the Heir of Ruination?" Lucifer guessed, his voice trembling. "He created this world just to let him grow without any obstacles?" He felt indignant and jealous of the privilege and favor the Heir of Ruination seed to receive.
"Correct. I was also jealous, like you, of that power who created as a slave. To attain that power, to break free from the chessboard, I did sothing extrely daring." He chuckled, as if the mory was still fresh in his mind.
"I attacked Pantheon's core, the very laws that bound us here, separating us from the outside. I was rebelling against Heaven, the one who created . Only after that did I realize how foolish I was. All my companions turned against , even my partner, Aurora. She herself trapped here. And my darkness corroded the very land, creating the Abyss."
"Goddess of Light was your partner?" Lucifer said, surprised. The very existence he hated, turned out to be the one who could have possibly been his mother.
"Haha, yes, we were created for each other," the Demon God said, his tone mocking.
"So, what should we do now, Supre Father? And those people—will they always stay by his side? Is that why they didn't act against him?" Lucifer questioned, his curiosity piqued.
"That, I don't know," the Demon God replied. "But I am not waiting for my demise here. I've gotten my hands on an extraordinary treasure from soone I captured in Dwarvania in the past. Haha, I still rember how he begged to spare his life in exchange for this treasure." The Demon God took out a broken painting, his dark fingers gripping the worn edges. The painting depicted a starry scenery of a vast, unknown galaxy.
"What is it, Supre Father? And what can it really do" Lucifer asked, leaning in to examine it.
"Reincarnation Painting," the Demon God said with a sinister smile. "It's capable of reincarnating people and transferring souls. Though, unfortunately, it's broken and needs souls for repair."
"Is that why you ordered us to collect souls?" Lucifer asked, his fascination with the treasure growing.
"Yes, only then can we leave this place and grow even stronger in outside realm," the Demon God said with desire.
Lucifer, equally tempted by the prospect, suggested eagerly, "Then shouldn't we accelerate the process, Supre Father?"
The Demon God grinned, revealing his bloody teeth. "Yes. And this ti, I will join in the fun as well. Even though I am injured, I can still go head-to-head against him since he's not yet fully matured. And as for those people in Pantheon, they're bound by limitations if they wish to interfere. This is the perfect chance to reap the harvest."
A dark and nacing plan began to form in the Demon God's mind. But would such a sche succeed so easily? Only ti would tell.

"Thank you, hubby. This new race should be fun," Bella exclaid happily.
One of Aengus' clones in the demon world had just finished synthesizing Bella with several Demon Lord-level corpses. She had now beco more powerful.
"That's good. It should greatly increase your combat prowess with those combined skills and abilities," Aengus said, turning his gaze to the burning battlefield.
With a single command, he withdrew his Legion, and they sward toward the spatial portal beside him.
At that mont, Sen and Sienna approached them.
Aengus gestured for them to speak.
"My Lord, we have received news about the mass mobilization of other Demon Lords' forces in the Human World. Billions of demons have infiltrated Solis as we speak. It won't be long before we start hearing about massacres," Sen reported grimly.
"So, they couldn't wait any longer? The Great War has finally begun. But the victor will be ," Aengus said with a smirk.
"Hubby, are you planning to rge both armies now?" Bella asked, intrigued.
"Yes. Sen, Sienna, prepare for it imdiately," Aengus commanded. "We are heading to the Human World for the Grand Unification. The co-existence plan between humans and demons will begin with the Liberation Army. This will create history—a story of how humans and demons worked together to build a new world. It will forge a sense of unity what we need for a prosperous future."
"Yes, my lord. We will relay the order imdiately."
Sen and Sienna seed excited, as they had never had the opportunity to enter the Human World, to witness its beauty or experience its abundant resources.
As they left, Bella comnted, "They look certainly excited. But darling, do you really think humans and demons can co-exist? How will you find enough land and resources for the demons?"
"Don't worry, I have a plan for that," Aengus reassured her. Then his tone grew serious. "But Bella, I need you to accompany Aria and to the Dragon Empire. Ti is running out."
"You an your departure to your ho?" Bella asked, her voice tinged with worry.
"Yes. Though I can travel there because of my constitution now, I can't take you with . What if adding the Seeker bloodline could make you two transported there when they call back the trial Participants."
"Oh, is that so? So, we need to hunt for those otherworlders?" Bella said, her cheerful tone masking her concern. "Let's get to it right away, darling." She smiled warmly, not wanting to burden Aengus with unnecessary stress.
With that Bella, Aria, and Aengus' clone went to the Dragon Empire to look for the otherworlders' den with the clues he received.
