Chapter 117: Lilith - Decision

It was the first time I saw him cry...the first time I saw him so defenseless. So weak, so frail, he asked for a story, and so I read. I could see his unfocus eyes as he just stared until the light faded from his gaze.

with a smile, I kissed his lips as a gate of Brimstone appeared. "Protect him, Olivia," I said as Olivia materialize with a rather lifeless gleam.

Return my body back to its false image; I grew cold as I arrived within my father's lair. The screams of anguish could be heard as Bael bellowed. I was never allowed to leave this room as both father and mother said it was too much for my mind, but I wanted to see him...I wanted to see his suffering.

"Your still too young, Lilith." Mother suddenly said as I gazed into her azure eyes. "Come with me,"

Shaking my head, I looked into her eyes as tears fell, "What happened? Why did this happen."

With a sad hue of light, Mother sighed, "The Court of Nox approached Bael. Your Life for his freedom. He would be allowed to leave like the other prince without a King's permission. All they would do was provide him a body like they did Drar'ethiul. Prince are not like the kings or me. There is a price he paid to be a Prince of Hell. They are bound to the Nines like all the demons below them. Hell has its own rules, Lilith. And they must be followed."

"So the Court of Nox know of my location, so they went to Bael." I coldly said. " how fitting."

"Yes, after I severed your connection, your father, along with the Nox counsel, appeared. But they quickly backed off as Asmodeus opened his mouth, howling in rage. I had never seen them so fearful. They left as soon as he spoke of decimating the Horsemans Gate.

"Horsemans Gate? What's that." I asked, having no memory of such a gate.

"Strange that you of all people would not know. Once you enter the Gate, you enter a labyrinth within the Abyss. It said that each rider has their own gate that leads to this Labrinth. Only one has been found, your father and I visited one before, but even we didn't dare to go all the way in. Al the abyssal creatures there are at the level of a king or higher. It got to a point we were not fighting fourth-dimensional beings but higher. Had we not called in a favor, we would have died." Mother wisped as she quivered, still remembering.

"Who did you call?" I asked as I felt a pair of eyes staring down at me with amusement and a little killing intent.

"His name is Alrich," Mother said as she patted my head, "But don't worry about him. That bastard has had his hands tied probably for all eternity, poor bastard.

"go back, Lilith, be with Arsene. His family is protected, but that's only if he lives. Asmodeus will not kill him. You know your father would rather torcher someone for all eternity rather than give him a sweet end."

Give me a warm hug mother smiled as she kissed my cheek, "You better go, have fun...I may join you and Arsene one day. I didn't know he was so..."

"Mother!!!" I yelled as killing intent rose.

"You really are my baby' she screamed, kissing my cheek, "kill 'em all, girl. Asmo is mine and only mine."

With a flick to my head, I was shot through the gates of brimstone, appearing beside my husband as he lightly snored. With a kiss to his lips and to his heart, I arose, readying for the day he would awake.

"Olivia Awaken," I lightly said as the lifeless gleam in her eyes vanished. Confused, She gazed down as at Arsene for a second and then towards me as she bowed.

"You called my lady?"

"Yes, ready the mortals outside. Train them well, and place a good formation down. I want privacy." I lightly commanded as she vanished from my sight.

"When you awake, Arsene, I will have everything set. I may even let you kill Nora. I know how much you wanted to kill her. She was my sister, but I will let you do it...or we could do it together."

Lifting up his body, I gave him a warm bath as I gently cleaned his chiseled body. It seems he did not know, but he was changing. His face, his skin, his bones, his taste every day they changed. At first, I thought it was due to his demonic bloodline, but I denied it. It was his physique. Even I do not understand how such a body is possible.

I had a physique as well, but it was quite useless at this moment since I was still learning how to use Abyssal qi; it so infuriating. Having something you call our own but can't control it.

Relaxing next to him, I sighed as I rest my head against his chest, listening to his heartbeat as we sat in a luxurious bath. The water was warm, and the mist added quite the romantic air I loved, but you were asleep.

With a frown, abyssal qi began to rise, twisting throughout my body as my appearance began to change. I could feel my body pulsing with darkness, unlike Arsenes. It was an ancient force, something the could not be understood even by the abyss itself. For the abyss could not think, could not feel, love or hate. All it had was a will, a simple one at that.

It did not make sense how such a will could create me, but here I was. The first time I use Abyssal qi, I gazed at Father and Mother with disgust. The very air appeared revolting and broken. I felt I was above the gods I saw every day, above the demons that fell to their knees before me. It was strange, but I hated life, for I was not living merely breathing.

Opening my palm, flame-like energy appeared like fire as Lili's voice echoed out, "What do you wish to do?" She asked in an almost demonic tone.

"I am tired of this mortal body. I am tired of this game of hiding, but Arsene..."

"Is a grown man. If you stay, he will progress slower. He needs to start killing, and you are a distraction. We love him, but it must be done. We need to create a network. The court of Nox got to close. It will not happen again." Lili voiced, "It's time we destroy that celestial core and just focus on the abyssal one. We will give Arsene our body cultivation once he wakes."

"Yes, it must be done. But I will not destroy my celestial core. I need to hide this qi. It's too strong to go unnoticed by those truly powerful. Father and mother haven't noticed anything, but once I start fighting, it will be all to present." I coldly said, lifting Arsene up, "I will head to the Celestial Palace once Arsene reaches the real world. It's time to start making an army.
