Monarch Of Darkness, Arsene Chapter 195

Curling my lips, I pulled Lilith into my arms, "Now that's a name I haven't heard in a while. She was the little shy girl that helped me out in the forest of Serem. Who would have thought our path would cross once more."
"I was just as surprised," Lilith whispered, snuggling into my arms, losing her earlier coldness, "I have high hopes when I arrive in Asterion. Do you think I should wipe their memories?"
"Hmmm, no, do you have the boy's father's soul... In fact, do you have all the mercenary's souls?" I asked as my gaze began to brighten.
"Yes... why?" She questioned.
"Did I ever tell you I'm a reincarnated individual? I died around my twenties, but there was a legend regarding demons. I have yet to unlock this ability, but I'm sure it exists. Demonic possession."
"I forgot about that ability, I was originally going to give these souls to you, but this is even better," Lilith exclaimed as my eyes brighten.
"You have a technique that can allow demons to collect souls?" I asked in a hurry.
"I do, but they cannot absorb them like devils. You should have the same ability; it's just you are too weak. Once you reach nascent souls or the realm of Stars, more than ninety percent of those skills will be unlocked."
Nodding with understanding, I smiled, "Once the kid awakens, use that as an incentive for him to grow. However, Ava's father is different. Assuming he is still alive, I could definitely use him. Unlike Ava, he is a cruel demonic bastard. His closets are filled with bodies."
Smirking, Lilith suddenly held my chin as she arose, sitting upon my lap staring deeply into my eyes, "You are asking for a lot. I may have to charge you now. I don't think my husband would approve if I did it for free?" she seductively said tracing her lips against mine
laughing aloud, I held her soft waste feeling her warmth, "So what do you suggest?"

"Hmmm, how about we head to the Isles of Yu'drol? I hear it's quite the magical place," Lilith whispered. Opening my eyes wide, I froze as a chill filled both my body and soul alike.
"W...where did you hear that name from?" I demanded; there were no coincidences. Someone was obviously manipulating what was going on.
Staring into my cold eyes, Lilith suddenly frowned as a chilling gleam filled her gaze, "I heard about it a few years ago when I met Olivia. When I bought her, I heard two men arguing about where to vacation with their woman...Why do you ask?"
Pondering for a moment, my thoughts were disturbed as Zanris appeared bowing, "Master, Mother, we have...."
"Just kill them all, stain the fucking streets." I barked in rage as Zanris shivered, lowering her head.
"...Sorry," I lightly said as Zanris vanished before my eyes. Shaking my head Lilith gently chopped my head.
"Dumb dumb, what's wrong?" She asked in a caring tone. "Did you truly not expect this?"
"Not like this. Whomever did this know about our relationship before it occurred. We do not exist within the time stream, Lilith, so how is that possible? Just yesterday, Bael even told me about the Isles of Yu'drol. I will not be surprised if my trial is located there." I said as Lilith paled, staring upwards.
noticing she knew something, I frowned, "What is it?"
"There was a voice and a pair of eyes. from above...Arsene, what was your name in your last life?" Lilith suddenly asked as I frowned, feeling my mind beginning to spin out of control.
"It was...Huh?...I can't remember?" I weakly stated as I slipped into bewilderment. I could remember the animes I watched, the lives I took. The joys of life, I could remember everything, but not my name?"
"It's call soul restoration, and it seems it was done on you multiple times. Your memories are not from a single lifetime but the trillions you have experience. It's a concept Father once told me about when I asked him about impossible techniques. And It's usually done by a supreme being like Asmodeus, but even he would die doing it more than once depending on the system."

"The system?" I commented, not understanding.
"Yes, the laws of this omniverse are different from what we see. In total, there are seven omnivores. Each of them, infinite in size, holding its own ruler. I'm sure you have some memories of the great War of the demons, correct."
Nodding, my mind flashed back when Bael killed his son before releasing a gate of brimstone upon the land.
"Well, do you know what led to that war?" She asked as I shook my head, pondering over the question, "The laws shattered, and concepts all changed in a single instant, and everything was reset. The Nines and Angels were untouched, but something had happened within their ranks, causing them to go crazed. Before the change, the nines never use to take an active role within creation; however, that all vanished once creation was reset." Lilith explained
"What does that have to do with Soul Restoration," I asked as Lilith held an unusual gleam,
"It means Arsene; your soul might be older than the concepts of this fourth dimension because such a technique was only capable before the great change. No one knows what caused this change, but according to Asmodeus, who was but a child when this changed occurred, it was a suicidal method of restoring a shattered soul.
"As you know, souls are broken up into three layers, the Ego, The Will, and Finally, the core. However, before the great change, there were only two layers. The Inner and Outer soul and both of these were possible to destroy. However, the Inner soul was a little different holding a person's will and Soulforce."
"It sounds pretty much the same as it is now," I replied; the inner soul just sounds like the core.
"No, because the core was not the inner soul. Cores did not exist within the soul. No one held their cores or knew about them aside from the devils and demons, it's a little complicated, but all you need to know was that Soul restoration required you to collect the shattered bits of the inner soul and travel into the mortal realm to use the concept of the infinite to resurrect a shattered soul.
"Since Mortal realms have infinite parallel worlds, you essentially split the soul an infinite number of times as they live their lives before fusing back together. This process takes... cycles upon cycles, Sene, but with each reincarnation, the souls begin to heal. "
Opening my eyes wide, I gasped, "That... sounds impossible... It's so impossible it doesn't make any sense."
"It is impossible, Arsene, because the cultivator that performed this technique had to kill all infinite versions of you all at once. And pushed all of them back into the cycle of reincarnation should one die before the others. If not, the technique would end in failure, and the soul will be lost. You Arsene may be the only person within creation where this technique has worked.. "
Falling back into my seat, I gulped, "Now, this is a mind fuck... So just who is that person? Wait, you said it would kill a person like Asmodeus. How exactly does it do that, aside from mental exhaustion what..."
"Because you must push your own soul energy into the soul that you want to resurrect. That means-"
"Yeah, I get it. It must be over infinite versions of me, so that person must have needed an almost infinite amount of soul energy. Holy shit, who the hell resurrected me? Better yet, how the hell did I die? and why do all my memories suggest I only lived one life?"
