Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

"Arsene Snow," Came the voice of the False King, pressing upon my soul like an immeasurable world wishing to crush me whole.

I returned my spear to my hand and rose higher into the clouds to meet Raziel\'s eye.

The False King was surprisingly tall, standing around seven feet. He had long silver hair, golden red eyes, and a speck of silver within the center. To say the man was attractive was to just about lie to oneself. He was simply perfect. I could admit that much.

"Child of Tenebrae," He said softly, but his voice thundered, parting the clouds, bringing a smile to my face as Heaven\'s Judgement began to fill the skies. "Your end is nigh."

The Divinity of Sin generated by the Path of Abyssal Night began to cloak my flesh, bringing a flame-like appearance as I smiled, " Is that right? And are you to be my executioner?"

"It\'s as I\'ve designed."

My laughter sounded so off that I could not believe that it originated from me. And from the abyss below, millions of soul flames began to form to my will.

Filling the skies with its hum, I opened my left hand as they all sprang into the palm of my hand, as the Flame of Hellfire. No, the Flames of the Abyss flared out of my palm black as the deepest night burned the very souls away. Leaving their cries to ripple out for all eternity as a sword formed from the One\'s essence appeared.

There was a reason I believe that Souls were indestructible to everyone but Lilith and Me. And that was because it held not just Astral Force but the very essence of the Father. After all, if you take the quote, \'Made in his image\' literally, then if safe to say that we all have the One\'s Essence in them, and as the Bridge, is it not my right to use it? As the Abyss\'s Chosen, is it not my duty?

A bellowing cry rang from the sword as my spear pointed toward the False King.

\'Arsene!" The cry of Zantar came along with the spell of Hevenaly Bind, piercing space and sending ripples throughout.

"You\'ve got a lot of nerve!" Lilith thundered as a familiar aura that sent fear within everyone dancing, even I trembled, as the Heavenly Binding around shattered into nodes of black, as she appeared with a rotting husk.

My eyes widened as I instantly knew this was the carcass of the Demonic Mother, but Lilith was gripping a sword deep within her chest that made my blood boil.

"LILITH!!!!" Balor roared, shattering the void, as he stared at the husk, knowing who it was, and yet as he was about to move, a piercing golden light flashed, and a body flew far into the reaches of space, as Zena appeared with a cat-like smile.

"I wanna see! This is so much fun!!!!!" She cried, snapping her eyes to me with a challenging gleam! " I call next!"

Lilith chuckled and unsheathed the sword from the husk, turning everything black, "Have at it, but no one is going to interfere with my hubby\'s battle." Lilith coldly sounded in her demonic form. Her hair was silver, and her skin filled with the scales of the abyss. At the same time, her amethyst eyes seemed to breathe with an azure glow of the twin chibi within her.

"YOU!" Zantar howled. But at the sound of the cocking of a gun, he froze as Avar appeared from the shadows with a gun pressed against his temple, " I\'ve no issue killing you now."

"Can you kill him for me then?" I said, not seeing what the issue was.

"He\'s not my enemy. Mephisto just asked me to help you out." Avar said, and my eyes widened in surprise.

"Your, my brother\'s disciple!"

"Hmm,\' She confirmed, " yup."

"And Aurelia is fine--"

"Only you have infidelity issues," Lilith said, rolling her eyes as she sheath her sword back into the carcass of the Demonic Mother, " I guess with everyone here. I\'m not needed."

"NOOO!! I wanna fight you two!!! The Abyss Folks look so fun to fight! All the ones I battle have been interesting. Did you know they can use any type of divinity?"

"I\'m the Abyss\'s Avatar, so yeah. I knew."

"Really! And you are pregnant! Bad Arsene!"Zena berated, eyeing me sternly with pursed lips, "How could you put a baby in such a beauty."

"I think that\'s the point. Don\'t you think so, Lilith?"

Nodding with the largest smile, I chuckled, looking at the increasingly dark expression of Zantar and Raziel.

"Child of Genisis, you would challenge me?" Raziel inquired, his voice still regal.

Avar looked around and then pointed to herself, " You talking to me? Oh, I get it. Recorded."

Wanting to palm my face, she continued, " I\'ve never been called CHild of Genisis before. But I\'m not your slave. Nor is Genisis. We are in a treaty, but that doesn\'t mean your enemies are my enemies. If you like, we can leave. All our technology has self-destruct features, so we\'ll take back everything we\'ve given you. We\'ll let you explain to the other Realms what happened."

"She\'s not wrong,\' Said another regal voice as I saw a dark-headed man that shared many features with Zanta appear. By the Nines. He was an exact clone of Zanta. And by his side stood Valice, "He is the King of Noctem. It matter\'s not if he\'s your enemy. Our real enemy is her." he said, pointing to Lilith, who childishly tilted her head away. "She\'s the one who pulled us into the abyss, or am I mistaken?"

"I\'m just gonna go." She said, clearing her throat, \' I\'m just saying you two got pregnant due to the abyss. You should be thanking me, but whatever." She revealed vanishing before anyone else could finish.

"OOOH!!!! Orthis-kun!!!!" Zena cried, rushing over to him as she wrapped her arms around the king, who painfully sighed. "Look! LOOK! I wanna fight them!" She said, pointing to both me and Raziel.

"Zena, that\'s one of our allies," Valice pleaded, "Have some restraint."

"Tsk, that\'s why I hear yo husband doesn\'t pull hoes." She sprung on, and everyone\'s jaw dropped.

"He\'s my man! He\'s not supposed to be!" valice screamed.

"Whatever~" Sang the young maiden as she eyed me, "You better show me something good!"
