Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

Chapter 365: I'm Going To Put a Baby In Her!

Holding the stars within my eyes, my body hovered off the air. Flashing my hot stare down, I stared at my ring finger that housed the Ring of Bael. Watching the ring appear in view, I grinned.

"Such a naughty spirit." I taunted, in a tone the registered a chilling amusement.

Paying the Ring of Bael no mind for remaining silent all this time while I had lost a majority of my memories. I scuffed before pulling out a simple outfit consisting of a simple white tunic, black trousers, and a set of boots. I began my journey anew with a new goal of putting a baby into my wife with a childish grin.

It was too bad that the Rune of Teleportation was destroyed long ago by the Flames of Hellfire. But booty is calling for me!

"LIlith~chan!"I eagerly screamed, unable to contain myself.

Taking to the skies like an Abyssal God, an all-powerful spirit qi clung to my magnificent body. This newfound power was quite unusual. It was powerful, no doubt, but the way it behaved was different. It held no intent like my demonic energy. Instead, it acted like a newborn, continually scanning my body.

Pondering what this could mean, I dismissed such thoughts. My goal in life now was to put a baby in my wife! No need to be self-conscious about Lilith's real appearance anymore. When our baby is born, Kami-sama will descend to praise its sexiness... cuteness!

Shooting off at a breathtaking speed almost three times faster, I felt no resistance of the air, as the very winds understood to make way at the almighty power overflowing from me. Excited over my new cultivation technique, I began to mutter the First of Nine Verses.

"Swallow the Night, and reveal The All. "It read, as I spoke.

Losing all excess thought, I fell into a state different from anything I had ever experienced. I had felt enlightened, yet it was more than that. It felt Eternal and almost ethereal. And for the first time, I felt free? I was free.

"See towards the One, Hidden within the Veil of The All!." I absentmindedly muttered. Yet, with those words hidden by a mysterious veil, I somehow understood who the All and The One were.

Holding a profound glint of understanding, I flew through the heavens like a bird flying through the sky. Flying faster than I ever before, my body shifted into particles of light, shooting through creation at speeds never seen by mortals.

Soaring till the moon hung into the skies, I suddenly stopped, falling to my needs as tears began to fall from my eyes.

"Wh...Why am... I..."

I cried. For what reason, I did not know. But tears flowed cold from my eyes without end. Wiping them endlessly, I whimpered till the sun began to rise within the air.

Whimpering softly, I once more wiped the tears that had stained my eyes, only to scuffed at my pathetic Will. Was I remorseful? Sad? I did not know. But I was different, and I for the first time in my life, I felt regret. But for what I did not know.

Looking down at my palms I knew to be stained with blood, I frowned. "I am not one to look back. Remorse will only hinder." I solemnly muttered with a heavy heart. "I cannot have remorse about the past, only see I live without regret. Is this Mantra trying to break my Dao's heart?"

Confused, I shook my head, "No, it's tempering it. Devil's hearts are my weapon. How can I use it if I do not understand it myself?"

Shaking my head, I continued on my journey, knowing my life would now consist of constant tempering of my heart, for my new goal was to follow the command of the first verse. And that was to see into the Veil of the All.

Pondering those words, I ignored comprehending Dao from the Flames of Hellfire. My Understand of Dao itself had changed quite dramatically within that hellhole, and I was simply too weak to gather anymore.

Chanting the Path of Abyssal Darkness over and over till its verse became my life. My days were spent tempering my Will. It was unusual having to temper something that was connected to my body, as the only thing I felt different was my emotions.

I will be the first to admit it, I was a sociopath, but with each tempering of my soul, I felt my heart being to mend. I believe I would still kill without discretion, but I don't think I would slaughter without reason as before.

I was changing, and I honestly did not like it. I do not like Anti-Heros. To me, a hero is a hero no matter what you do. And I was not one. I kill for my benefit and my benefit alone. Screw the world, the kids, and the incapable. I live for only two people. Myself, and my wife! Why should I care about anything else?

Holding such a belief within my Dao Heart saturated with such selfishness, I continued to temper my soul till the moons began to pass like seconds over my head. It was not long before I had found my way out of the canyon and into an azure ocean that expanded further than the eye could take you.

"Two months?" Hesitantly muttered, not sure how much time had really passed. Hesitating for a moment, I looked towards the skies.

"Yggdrilsel, do you know how much time I have left?" I hopelessly muttered, getting the feeling the All-seeing tree would know something. She was, after all, the overlord of the Norse Realms.

Waiting for the time, it takes to brew a cup of tea. I listlessly sighed, knowing a reply would not come. Standing on the sure of the vast ocean, I slowly stepped onto the water, unsure if the curse was still active.

"I need to speak with Anya and Mare. I need the divinity from the Valkies for this to work. Well, I guess it all comes down to luck... I fucking hate uncertainty. If there is one thing in the world that will make a fool out of anyone, it was luck!

To be so calculating enough to compose a plan that would use every possible type of measure, only to be lucky in the end, was in my book pathetic. What was the point, of anything, if luck did the work?

Scuffing inwardly, my steps upon the icy waters grew dark and cold. Gripping my right shoulder that held the Crest of my Nameless Spear, my listless eyes hummed to life, bringing with them a raging inferno of the hells.

"It's almost time, Sitri."
