Monarch of Darkness, Arsene-Chapter 1003 Under Siege II

"Lucifer," I whispered, sensing my blood turn to ice as he appeared with large silvery black wings, a black halo above his head. He stared down at me with folded arms.

Something was different about him… This wasn't a clone like last time. Lucifer was truly here. I don't know how I could tell, but I knew.

Masking the unease that wormed its way into my soul, I frowned. "I thought there was a law against people like you entering this realm?"

"He's the Lord of rebellion. He kind of does his own thing." Lilith said with a smile. ' How are you, Luci."

"Lili," The Fallen of the Ninth Layer of Hells replied.

Looking back between Lilith and Lucifer, my expression became perplexed. " What is this? What's going on here?"

"It's my turn." The Fallen claimed.

"..."

"We are not going by the time dilation but by personal time. Only a day has passed for me." Said Lilith as a matter of fact.

"He'll only be a burden! This is a war zone!"

"He's a supreme being! I can use him as a weapon!" Lilith said in quick succession. "And not to judge but didn't you burn hundreds of worlds to show him your power?"

"But…But! Oh, come on! Just let me keep him for a day or two?"

,m They are not talking about Little Jin, are they? No! No! Stop destroying my image of Lucifer! Has this bastard really embraced the Grandpa lifestyle?

"He's mine!" Said Lilith hugging the little brat tightly.

"Lili I am a surpeme God. An anomaly, you stand no chance!"

"I'll tell God-Sama, Aurelia, and the Abyss!"

"That's cheating! IT'S MY TURN!!! I'VE GOT TO SHOW HIM HOW TO PULL BITCHES!!!"

"SENE'S GOT IT!"

"Please don't put me in whatever this is." I moaned, turning to the armies fast approaching.

"Lucifer?" Another voice I dreaded said as Izavith appeared with blood over her cheek." What are you—Oh. Never mind." Holding onto Noctem, she tossed it to me and bowed towards Lilith. " Welcome back to the Fourth Heaven, my Queen."

"Happy hunting?" I asked, and Izavith nodded.

"Yup. We forced Michael to retreat. Arsene even managed to take his arm. He is not too happy. However, Zariel did get pretty badly injured."

"Oh. That pretentious dick actually lost; this is what happens when…." Lucifer paused and stared dead at me. "That spear. What the hell?"

"Hey… I'm kind of in a middle of a siege." I said, sending my spear back into my soul. "Lili, get rid of the kid."

"But he's so cute!"

"Izavith, you deal with this," I said, flashing, summoning a snew of soul flames. Burning the cores away to fuel my plan with the Abyssal Flames, a dense light flared over the skies as sin ran over the clouds causing rain to shower this region.

Ensuring that no form of reincarnation would be possible, no heaven or hell, the energy I retained gathered at the tip of my finger as I began to write Abyssal Wards throughout half the wall. Leaving the other half for Lilith, I spent the next few hours straining my mind.

Abyss-CHan had taught me much. Even if she talked super slowly, I learned a lot in a single chaos cycle, as she could only use a single syllable at a time.

Zariel may be God's chosen, but I wife up the Abyss.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM~

Feeling the explosion of war between paragons, I frowned. As they flickered through subspace, creating hell wherever they crossed.

Pulling out my holocube, I called up Karr," Are you watching the borders? Employ more soldiers around just in case some realm decides to start a Planer War. Start a draft if you need to." 𝗳𝘳𝐞e𝙬𝙚𝚋𝗻𝚘𝚟𝗲l.𝑐𝑜ｍ

"Is it that bad, my lord?" Said Karr with a pale expression.

"Don't know. We'll have to see. It seems like the other Planes think they can handle us. Perhaps they haven't figured out the Abyss and Noctem are now joined at the hip."

"Master!" shouted Freya as she came rushing to me, just as I disconnected. " We don't have enough men. We—"

"How many souls do you have?" I interrupted, watching her expression now perplexed.

"A few million. Maybe more. I don't know."

"Summon all of them," I commanded, and with a confused look, Freya still agreed.

"You sure of this? There are some things the Arbiters just can't overlock," Warned Lily, but my mind was set in stone.

"The soul is one of the strongest things in existence. Especially in this Fourth Heaven. If everyone wants to kill this King, why should I play fair? If everyone is after me, what does it matter? Fuck the rules. I'm about to ruin everyone's lives. They want a devil. Well, I'm more than willing to baptize this world in blood. "

Lily crackled with laughter. "Gods, your daughter is just like you! That bitch is crazy! Let's do it! ｆ𝘳e𝒆w𝗲𝐛𝘯𝐨νe𝚕.cｏ𝓶

Unsheathing Noctem from my soul, the hiss of the blade's arc over reality sent the world into a spirling frenzy. I used the insane power of Noctem lily had upgraded to help speed up the rate at which my injuries healed. I sucked in a sharp breath and stared at the hundreds of fleets coming from Earth, Heaven, Subspace, and the Bed of Chaos.

Taking to the skies, the souls Freya granted me hovered behind me, blazing neutral energy; my eyes skimmed over… the dead men.

"Arsene Snow," The voice of Zargon uttered with the materialization of a Hell Gate. He stepped out with bloody red wings, clad in imperial armor of the Nine Hells, blazing the multicolored flames of the Nines. A great sword warped in his hands formed by red and black nodes, bleeding a sinister aura that made Heaven and Earth reel in fear.

"The Dead Monarch of Darkness," he said with rows of shark-like teeth beaming from his face. "I came out personally to ensure you die. As did my generals."

Seven more Gates of Hell appeared, and two Elder Gods from each gate came out with cold smiles.

"You've no chance in hell of surviving this."

Observing the confidence, I said nothing but stared as more and more Lords and Ladies began to fill my eyes. And a bit of amusement traced over the tinge of ice around my lips.

"All this for me?" I teased.

"Fifty Paragons Vs. You "

I chuckled. "And it still won't be enough to kill this Lord."
