Monarch of Darkness, Arsene-Chapter 1172 Omniscient Mastery II

"And you won't believe it…." Lilith started again, even more excited. "You have the essence in you. Your ability to Adapt: I think that ability was taken or at least molded into being from that 'Void.' "

"You… are really talkative today."

Lilith's cheeks instantly grew flushed with anger. She hammered at my chest with her fist. "Hey! I'm helping you out!"

'I know." I admitted, nodding along. "But… this might be the most I've ever seen you talk so much. It's cute. You seem so excited." ｆ𝘳e𝒆w𝗲𝐛𝘯𝐨νe𝚕.cｏ𝓶

"Oh." She muttered, bowing her head. Her cheeks turned a deeper shade of red, and the tips of her ear changed to a similar color. She muttered under her breath. Looked up at me defiantly and turned, snorting. "Ungrateful."

I laughed, not resisting the warmth gathering within. My arms wrapped around Lilith's supple waist, and I pulled her deep into my grasp to enjoy her warmth. "My lovely Queen of Queens. Please teach your King, for he is ignorant of the world. Teach me your ways of omnipotence."

Lilith attempted to wiggle out of my grasp, but in response, my feet curled around her in a leg lock, trapping her in place. I smiled as her head snapped up to meet mine.

"Let me go!" She squealed, wiggling away.

'Keep that up." I groaned heavily, "And we'll end up screwing. You're making me hard… Again."

She froze. "But I'm not done talking."

"No shit."

Cheeks flaring, she stuck her tongue out. "Bully." She released a breath of hot air over my chest, and my hold loosened, but Lilith quickly shook her head. "Keep holding me like that."

"Then keep teaching me."

Holding her even tighter, Lilith rested her head over my chest. "Most Angels have a single special ability outside the spectrum of their focus. And all of them are Almighty abilities. I believe Gabriel holds a powerful compulsion. It's so powerful he can compel life into being and Death in all things living. But I heard he hates using his ability."

"Why?" I couldn't help but ask.

To compel even the heavens to obey seemed insane.

"Because it goes against his nature. Gabriel is one of the kindest souls out there. And a big advocate of pacifism. The idea of bending Heaven, Hell, and Earth to his will goes against who he is. Before the Fall of Angels, he even approached the Father, pleading for him to destroy his ability, but was denied. Gabriel went missing for a while and returned for the war between the traitorous angels, where he single handily held back a hoard of Fallen. Fallens like Abbadon, and Dagon."

"He held back two Sovereign Lords? Gabriel!" I almost shouted the words. That silly idiot! Him!

"Ability aside, Gabriel is not that strong, but his ability makes up for everything else. Plus, back then, Hax and various other things weren't prominent. Shit, they didn't even know what sex was. They were naive children. Still are in some ways."

Utterly flabbergasted, Lilith continued. "Ariel was… she was the lovely daughter of the Father and is one of the best-skilled warriors. She was so good that most of the various angelic techniques originated from her. She was so skilled that when the war started. Mephisto sealed her. Knowing that she would give Lucifer a run for his money. But that's regarding skill; when it came to physical and spiritual power, she was outclassed by even the likes of Gabriel.

"And her ability?"

She smiled. "it's healing. Despite being the Lion of God, Ariel was an absolutely lovable seraph who spent most of her time healing and caring for just about everyone. No one was ever turned away from her. Even those she didn't like. She cared for them equally. Although most of their injuries originated from her beating their asses. That being said, her Healing is a dangerous weapon as it outclasses Concepts and Hax. She is probably the one person who can destroy you if she wishes, stunting your growth."

"You think so?" I mused with a challenging smirk.

"I do because she can destroy the Sin of Devils and Fallen without regard. She tried it with Mephisto and succeeded when she learned he Fell. I don't know what happened after that, Mephisto hid the event, but it seems she tried to reverse the tarnishing of the Angels into Fallen."

"She… She can turn a Fallen back into an Angel!" I whispered, unable to believe such a thing was even possible. Just how broken are these abilities? "Has she ever done so successfully?'

Lilith shook her head. "She said she'd never do so. Something about respecting their decision to remain an outcast. As I said, Ariel cares for everyone. Even if they turn their backs on her, Ariel will respect them."

'And Uriel."

"Screw him." She spat, grumbling over my chest like a child who'd been wrong.

"I might need to start training my Mastery of Omniscience. It could be a really useful tool. Especially when it comes to our children." I mused aloud, looking up at the ceiling a bitter sigh seethed from my lungs. "This world there coming into is about to be terrifying."

"It truly will be. That's why Nessa is so important. Think of it as a Safe Haven if anything should occur." Lilith replied softly. "I figured they might come across it at some point.'

"You make it sound like we'll be separated."

A hollow smile crept over the ends of her lips, sinking into sorrow. "I'm planning for the worst. The absolute worse, Sene. And it's also why I want to refuse you and the hells access to Nessa."

My lips tugged downwards. "What do you mean?"

"Nessa isn't for me, or you, or anyone else. It's home for the little ones. It's their castle. I don't want to share it… but you asked, so I—"

A long sigh escaped. "Lilith… you can say no, you know. You think I care if the Fallen gets butt hurt?"

"Yeah, but politics says I care. If I help you out, You will help the Fallen out, and they help my children. It's a cycle of schemes and a level of security in some way. It's not that I don't say no. It's that I can't. You hold two great powers right now. Noctem and the Hells. And as your Wife and Queen of the Abyss, it's my duty to look after the future in case something happens."
