Monarch Of Darkness, Arsene Chapter 73

"Will he make it?" I inquired, knowing he was watching...He was always watching. "No one has ever taken the Flames of Hellfire. It doesn't matter how powerful you are. Everyone that has tried has died. Must this really be his trial, Lord Asmodeus? Even you fear these flames."
"It was it not you that failed to complete your punishment. It's unbecoming Bael, are you so pathetic?" A dark voice from the void spoke, sending a shiver through my spine. "Tell me, little prince, should I not kill you now for disobeying me. or will you gamble and hope that Arsene survives."
Fallin to my knee's I lowered my head, "My Lord..."
"Enough vermin, you princes are disgusting. It brings me great shame for you all to be this spineless. It's hard to believe that the first Bael was one of the Kings of Hell. How low your name. No, your very house has fallen." Said Asmodeus, his words indifferent as ever, holding no emotion.
He was always like that when speaking with us princes—one of the nine kings of hell, yet the coldest and strongest one of them all. Asmodeus's threshold for nonsense was really high as he rarely interfered with the other kings or princes, but once angered, only eternal damnation would await you.
"If Arsene fails, you will die. Should he survive, you are to descend on Tensen Lumireis and watch over his evolution. The other kings have already taken an interest in him, so they will give out labors along with some of the little princes. You are only to watch. If you are discovered by those that live on Tensen Lumireis, I will personally rig that neck of yours. Clear?" Asmodeus declared, his words piercing like spears l through my heart.

"Understood, my lord, " I shouted, in fear of what could happen. Asmodeus was number one. There was no challenging him as he had no equals.
"His very existence is an enigma, Neither born from darkness, yet holds the power of Tenebrae. While also holding the very blood of Kings or should I say 'Bael,' but I wonder if he will inherit the original Baels knowledge. Out of all the Kings within my Hell, Bael was the most knowledgeable. You fail to grasp it, but that child may be the Key to Bael's infinite knowledge. " Said Asmodeus sharply as his presence faded away. Allowing me to breathe a sigh of relief.
Studying the image for a second, I closed my eyes before Kain appeared before me, his fangs glimmering with a sharp light as he bowed. A wave of silk white hair hung from his shoulders as the shadow of half his face came into view. "You called your excellency?"
"Yes, tell me about all the mythologies regarding Tensen Lumireis."
With a gleam of crimson light flickering across his ruby red pupils, I could vaguely see amusement as he smiled, "From the reports, Tensen Lumireis is currently housing the defeated Norse and Olympian Gods. Unfortunately, the power scale recently shifted with Hades killing Hera for siding with Zeus during the last major battle."
Nodding as I heard reports regarding such matters, I allowed Kain to continue, "Posiden remained neutral his only worry is finding someone to hold the Title of Zeus. As for the Norse gods, they are in even a more destructive state. While Oden wasn't their strongest Elder God, he was their leader, and they are currently in a civil war."
"From what I hear, one of the Eldest Ancients, Yggdrasil, personally had to get involved. A being rivaling the Kings of Hell. Although not much is known, I believe that Yggdrasil may have done something with the Body of Oden that had long vanished after the battle with Lord Asmodeus."

"Enough, which side do you think would be wise in sending Arsene to?" I asked, feeling weary.
Lowing his head, the Dao of darkness showered Kain's face, yet I could perceive a cruel smile as he shrugged, "Personally, I believe that Norse gods are the way to go. If he traveled to Midgard, by way of Yggdrasil, then his battle prowess will rise expediently."
"set it up...And Kain, do be aware I am conscious of your extra circular activities with the other Princes. I hope you do not end up like my dear son that is still screaming in the depths of the 8th layer of hell." I brightly exclaim, flashing my teeth towards my only remaining General.
Fear showered Kain as he kowtowed towards me, causing me to spit in disgust, " We are in treaty with the Norse Gods at this moment. I don't care what you do. Just send him to Midgard. Understood."
Seeing my foolish General vanish, I smiled. Kain was a serpent; oddly enough, that was the only reason why I left him alive. My other generals were far too stupid and cowardly to make it. Just like my son, they lack the ability to scheme.
"It would seem you have everything under control," A soft feminine voice sounded. Yet a cold sensation showered my very soul as I fell to my knees. "I do not know why that foolish man kept you alive or why he gave my only daughter to such a mortal. Tell me, Bael, what is so special about Arsene Snow?"
"Le-Leviathan?" I whispered in horror, "It's his physique. No matter how much we study the marking around his body, we cannot comprehend them."
A disdainful snort echoed from the void as devilish beauty materialized, yet I didn't dear gaze towards her.
"Merely a King of Hell, yet he made such a foolish decision without me." Shouted Levi, "Maybe if I kill all the other Kings of Hell, then maybe that man Asmodeus will respect me enough to ask my opinion. How dare that fucker try to take my baby away. Just wait till I see him again. I'm going to cut that dragon from between his legs.
Sweat gripped my head as I remembered the battle of Levi brutally beating Five of the kings of hell, almost killing all of them when they found out she was pregnant.
"It seemed I have to visit Little Sis, Yggdrasil," Exclaimed Levi as she vanished in a flash.
Damn it, who the hell is this descendent of mine. Why does it seem that the entire omniverse revolves around him? And more importantly, why the hell is Yura with him. Her family must really have an interest in him to allow him to survive this long.
Rising from my knees, I sighed, "He is my only hope, but once he reaches the realm of Gods, he will die. No matter if it's Asmodeus or any other King of Hell's decision. Arsene Snow must die."
