I'm The Devil

Chapter 32  Show of Power

"What do you think you are doing?"

The Envoys heard a very cold and terrifying voice that sent chills down their spines.

They were afraid to their core that even if Lucifer were to lift the pressure on them, they would be unable to move much less being able to talk.

Getting no response from the Envoys, Lucifer increased his pressure on them making weaker gods cough out blood.

"I will ask again. "What in the Bloody Hell do you think you are doing?"

Terror and despair was what the Envoys felt, most of them were already regretting why they even came in this suicide mission while some were cursing at Sekhmet for not controlling herself and acting wantonly.

"I believe you have deprived them their ability to speak, Love"

Aphrodite appeared besides Lucifer stunning the entire Envoys of her beauty.

Lucifer raised a brow at the gods before seeing them gasping for air and some of them were already at death's gate.

Coming to a realization, Lucifer released his pressure from them "you lots are not Primordials and you still dared to act all mighty in my peak? Are you all insane?" asked Lucifer when he noticed that they were just new generation gods and they are not even God Kings like Shangdi to be able to withstand his pressure and manage to hold his own against him.

After being released from that overbearing pressure, the Envoys gasped for breath and those who were on the verge of death just collapsed and did not want to get up ever again until they were out of this mess.

After regaining her strength, Amaterasu came forward and bowed to Lucifer "my name is Amaterasu, the first daughter of the God King of Shinto, Izanagi and the Primal Goddess, Izanami. I am here today with the rest of the Envoy from the myriad Realms to meet up with you and build a relationship with you" she said with her head still down. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

When Lucifer heard the name Amaterasu, he thought of where he had heard something like that but no matter what how hard he tries to remember, he can never pin point it.

He quickly put that at the back of his mind and focused on the woman in front of him and he have to say, she is also a rare gem and she seem well mannered and behaved.

With that attitude, she might be the only one to survive out all the Envoys or what they called themselves.

"I have heard why you are here, but what I want to know is who killed one of my own and why? Your answers might guarantee most of your lives"

Lucifer said as a red glint passed through his eyes.

 All the Envoys became silent when he said that. Nobody wanted to get on the bad side of the Mad Goddess, she always resort to violence anytime nothing goes her way and if they did point at her and he did nothing, then they are better off living the rest of their lives here rather than ever going back home.

Bast knew what the other Envoys were thinking and sighed, she was conflicted on what to do. She wanted to protect her sister while on the other hand, she wants to out her sister and be done with but she did not know what will happen to her.

She was still contemplating on what to do when she heard a voice helping her do what she should have done.

She looked up and saw Tezcatlipoca with Lucifer and Aphrodite.

"It was Sekhmet here, she was just teaching most of the servants ways to speak to one with status such you and myself" said Tezcatlipoca with an aura of regality as he believes that those servants were beneath them and Lucifer may also see from that angle.

Hearing the words of Tezcatlipoca, Aphrodite sighed at the fool. He clearly saw how pissed off Lucifer was when he said that someone killed one of his own and here he was acting all here and mighty and looking down on the servants.

Amaterasu looked at Tezcatlipoca with a brow raised and wondered what was wrong with him [and here I thought he was the most smartest amongst us or has his brain been fried from the pressure earlier?] Amaterasu thought as she moved back from Tezcatlipoca when she saw the crazed smile Lucifer gave him.

Placing a hand on Tezcatlipoca's shoulder, Lucifer laughed and looked him in the in eyes "you know, you are someone born with everything you ever desired and not struggle to get anything. You look down at your fellow gods because they don't have the status and strength you wield and call them lesser because of that. But that is going to change today, because I will shoe you what power can do in anyone's hands, power can even make an ant defeat an elephant and you are nothing close to an elephant because you are just another ant" Lucifer said these words slowly making it sink into the head of Tezcatlipoca who was know sweating profusely and knew that he had messed up big time.

Without even waiting for Lucifer to ask, Aphrodite had already called for one of the servants to come.

The new head of the servants came as she stood besides Lucifer and Aphrodite.

Lucifer placed his other hand on the servant's forehead and granted her some of Ouranos powers he had from devouring him.

As soon as he did that, the aura of the servant changed as her entire being glow, her turned pure white.

She became the new goddess of the Sky.

After her transformation was complete, she opened her eyes that makes one who stare at them to think they were looking at the starry night sky.

Lucifer smiled at his masterpiece "I think you have to show this arrogant second generation god what true power is" said Lucifer as he gave the servant the go ahead to take care of Tezcatlipoca.

"With pleasure" The new Sky goddess said before walking towards Tezcatlipoca to tewr out her new power.

"No, no, don't you dare touch me, I swear if anything happen to me, my father would not sit idle and let it slide. He will raid this Realm and bring it to the ground so stop when I tell you to or you won't like it" Tezcatlipoca said as he moved back frantically from the advancing goddess.

"Let them come, they will have the same fate like you, which is death"

The goddess didn't take the threat of Tezcatlipoca seriously as she knew that it was just the words of a dying man.

Seeing as there is no way he can talk himself out of this, Tezcatlipoca immediately turn around to flee but he was held down by Bor.

"Sorry mate, you should have think before you started speaking. Thought you are the smartest amongst us but I think today ain't your day" Bor said as he held down Tezcatlipoca while looking at the new goddess.

"Now this is quite interesting, who are you?"

Lucifer said when he saw Bor manhandle Tezcatlipoca and from the way he was dressed made him know where he might coke from but not who he is.

Bor gave Tezcatlipoca to the goddess who has already arrived at their location immediately straightened himself and bowed "I am Bor Burison, son of Buried and the next God King of Aesir Realm, I am here on behalf of the current God King and my father to invite you to my third son's nafnfesti and also you are our honorary guest, you can come to Aesir anytime you like, My lord"

Lucifer was surprised at the way he is being treated by the Viking gods even when he had never had any altercation with any of them which leaves him with only one answer.

"One of my siblings is there with you, am I correct?

"Yes, my Lord. The Lord Bariel is also with us and will very much like to reunite with you that day"

Lucifer burst out laughing when he figured out why they were friendly with him.

It looks like Bariel might have roughened them a bit but not to the extreme as they seem to respect and treat him as a Lord which is very rare among the Viking gods.

"Argh, Arrrggghhh"

Lucifer and Bor's attention were drawn to the screaming Tezcatlipoca who was being played around by the new goddess as she inflict devastating injuries after injuries without trying to kill him.

"Just end him so that we can go to the next target, new goddess of the Sky" said Aphrodite who was getting tire of the drama around and just want to end all the Envoys and be done with it but she refrained from doing so and let Lucifer have his fun.

Hearing the word of her mistress, the Sky goddess ended Tezcatlipoca life.

After she killed him, Lucifer app and used his [DEVOUR] ability and absorbed  Tezcatlipoca body leaving nothing behind.

Bor was surprised to see that Lucifer using the same ability as Bariel as he never thought someone else could use it as he said it was his exclusive ability after he asked him to teach him.

"Wow, that was so-so, now for the next course"

Lucifer said while turning to look at Sekhmet who surprisingly was not afraid and just stared at him and readied her weapon for a fight.
