Chapter 494 Eons and Gods
Her most unsettling feature, however, was her eyes. Matte golden orbs, like molten gold, swirled with lava and encased in ice, held an intense, srizing power. They seed to draw in all light and warmth, leaving only a chilling, frozen glow. And when she turned her gaze upon anything, a shiver of dread crept through the very soul of those who t her gaze.
The air around her rippled with an unnaturally cold aura. As she ever so slightly shifted, the very ground beneath her feet frosted over, encasing her in a crystalline mist of ice. With every step, the frost spread like tendrils, snaking outward, freezing everything in its path.
As she extended her hand, checking up on the fearful duchess, icicles ford along her fingertips, and a frigid wind swept through the grand halls, turning it into a frozen tableau. Her touch could bring instant frostbite to anything it reached, and the ground she walked upon turned to solid ice, cracking and shattering under her demonic influence.
This demonic woman, with her chillingly beautiful appearance and her icy aura, was a creature of darkness and cold, a harbinger of frozen despair. Her very presence turned the world into a wintry nightmare, a realm where warmth and life withered in the face of her dreadful power. She was a living embodint of frozen malevolence, a vision of beauty that concealed the depths of a demonic, icy heart.
She was truly that woman's pupil.
"So, care to fill in?" I cracked my neck whilst imdiately lowering my killing intent.
Aisa didn't even respond as she swiveled around, proceeding down the eerie dark red hallway illuminated by the many chandelier lights. So, I just followed her until I reached it. A small room full of nothing but darkness tucked away in the corner of the mansion.
"This is a prison cell. No sound can get in and no sound can get out. We are safe to talk about anything we would like to in here."
"Alright, then let's get started with the location of the rest. I'm sure Beezlebub and Lucifer picked up the other two so I'm sure they're back in this eon."
"Eon? What Eon?" Aisa raised an eyebrow.
"Nobody told you where we went?" I imdiately replied, slightly taken aback. I an, I knew the relationship between the demon lords was horrible, but I thought they would at least try to and it using us as bargaining chips.
"No…"
"What a bunch of petty and stuck-up assholes…" I clicked my tongue before a creek resounded through the room. The tal door shutting us in had opened and a dark figure with horns as long as I was tall stepped through.
BANG
The door closed behind us, leaving to feel the overflowing aura that radiated from this woman. It was like standing next to a nuclear power plant- no, standing inside of one. My bones felt as if they were going to flip inside out. My muscles felt as if they were going to tear at the slight abrasion. My nervous system was going haywire, trying its utmost hardest to comprehend the otherworldly force pressing down on .
"I see why you didn't flinch at my aura…" I nervously chuckled before glancing over at Aisa. She was completely unaffected while I was stuck shivering in place at the sheer power of this demon god.
"Eons are segnts of ti that constitute the reformation and rule changes of the primordial beings. The First Eon otherwise known as the Age of Nobility. The Second Eon otherwise known as the Ocean Uprising. The Third Eon otherwise known as the Reformation of Light and Darkness. The Fourth Eon otherwise known as The Period of Usurped Aging… the longest one out of the six. The Fifth Eon otherwise known as The Epoch of War was the shortest. And finally, the one we're currently in right now has no na. We're brimming at the edge of breaking the longest-running ti record of an Eon and that is what is so troubling. Once a great reset happens, there is nothing we can do to stop it…"
"And that is what the Demon Lords wish to avoid? Since they're stuck in the reset while the gods continue to sit pretty on their thrones while watching every single fabric of reality reset… I see… so they're just scared of dying?" I imdiately deciphered what she was trying to imply.
"You could put it that way, but that's only one of their objectives. Of course, it's their first as without it they can't proceed with the rest, but they're way more ambitious than just that."
"Hmmm… okay, but that doesn't make sense. Why declare war on the demon gods rather than the other gods?"
The demon god smiled ever so gently before tilting her eyes toward the tal ceiling. "Because we're in an easier prey. As we have obtained the title of gods, we are able to avoid the great reset, but unlike the pantheons which are connected to each soul of the heavenly gods, our citizens, infrastructure, progress… they're all reset."
"So… am I just stupid or why is that a bad thing for you? I an sure it's a bit more work, but…"
"Their power is linked to their believers. A god can only grow their power through having believers whether they are of the heavenly or demon kind," Aisa cut in, instantly answering my suspicions.
"Hmmmm… okay now answer . You still didn't answer my question from before."
"Uh, I don't rember," Aisa scratched her head, causing to let out a long sigh.
"Where are the rest?"
"Oh yeah. So, they're all together as of now… or they should be if my intel is correct. They currently just finished fighting a small battle at Belphegor's territory. Their assailant is the Demon God of Extinction and his army. He would rather take the first steps and attack rather than wait to be attacked and quell the danger then."
"I guess we're going there then…" I muttered before taking a quick glance at the demon god once more. "Do you not care that we want to kill the demon gods? Shouldn't you be at least trying to argue against it?"
"Why should I worry?" Her eyes were dead serious and she had an eerie smile that basically said everything I needed to know. "It's not like you six can beat anyway."
