Chapter 143 Beelzebub's Fury
Beelzebub sipped his drink while deep in thought.
At present, the 4 of them were united against the newbie 3.
He called them newbies, but they had long taken up these seats for centuries.
But compared to himself, they were still too young. He and the others had existed from the beginning of time when the Abyss was created.
Each Prince had their territory, which was like mini-worlds within the underworld.
The land was their soul, and they could control it in any way they pleased.
The creatures living or roaming within their land could feel their power surging throughout the place.
From the beginning of time, himself and the other original 7 princes used to be high-ranking angels residing in the heavens.
And during their time there, they were best of friends, binding with each other and sharing their views while carrying out assignments throughout the many worlds.
However, they see what was so special about these humans that would make the Great one ask them to serve these people.
That\'s right.
Wasn\'t their job an indirect way of serving these greedy, lustful, worthless beings?
From the beginning of time, they watched humanity fight, kill each other and do cruel things.
Yet, the Almighty would just forgive them once these mortals had truly repented.
What was up with that?
Why were these humans and even creatures in these worlds loved so much? Didn\'t the Almighty also create them? So why was he biased?
.
Countless dark thoughts flooded their hearts and minds. And soon enough, they began to hate the almighty.
At that time, not many worlds were created, and everything was just at the beginning stages of life.
Man didn\'t even know how to speak, only making noises like cavemen. They were ugly and undeserving of the Almighty\'s love.
Yet, they, the magnificent angels, had to serve them. Why?
Like so, the gang couldn\'t take it anymore and declared war against the almighty, thanks to Lucifer\'s swift strategies and success with gathering many other rambling angels to their side.
Sadly, they lost and were banished to the underworld with the future of making sure that humans sent here rightfully get punished before being sent back for reincarnation.
That\'s right. Even when banished, they still had duties involving humans.
This kind of thing can make anyone go crazy.
And after falling, the first to awaken powers from the impact of the abyss was Lucifer, followed by himself.
The abyss blesses all living in it with traits and powers pertaining to everything wicked.
He was for gluttony, and Lucifer was for pride.
Of course, the other thousands of fallen angels landed in the underworld.
And that\'s how they began to add up and grow their forces, with both the old and the new creatures of the abyss.
Lilith and all other countless fallen angels and abyss creatures were there with them.
.
Back then, Lucifer was the supreme ruler of the underworld.
But after a million and what years, his son, Mundus, was the one who killed Satan, their brother, taking his place as one of the 7 princes of the underworld.
And thanks to his scheme, he managed to weaken Lucifer, declaring himself the ruler of the entire underworld.
Lucifer didn\'t die but went into retreat after stepping down as ruler.
Of course, after a measly 200 years, Mundus died, and his seat was then taken by another up-and-coming demon.
Sigh... In that manner, the positions of Asmodeus (Lust), Leviathan (Envy), and Satan (Wrath) had constantly been changing because of these newbies who wanted to prove themselves.
Likewise, the ruler of the underworld had always been changing hands too.
But surprisingly, amongst the many underworld rulers that had popped up, 6 of them were indeed more powerful than himself and the other original 7 princes.
During the reign of those 6, they, the original 7, couldn\'t breathe at all.
The underworld was a dangerous place, and anyone could be powerful tomorrow.
There are times when he too had almost died in the hands of these creatures.
Thankfully, at present, he and the other original 7 prince\'s had successfully killed the last overpowered Ruler of the underworld.
.
At present, the underworld has no ruler. And they decided to keep things like this until the big plan commenced.
That meant working against the other 3 newbie princes.
Again, they had never forgotten their initial hatred with the almighty.
They heard a rumor that the Almighty and a few key angels seemed to be missing. They had been missing for ten thousand years now.
So wasn\'t this the perfect time to act?
Heheheheheh!...
Good.
This world was needed for the big cause!
Beelzebub\'s eyes glowed yellow.
He was initially heading to investigate the disappearance of his men.
Typically, if it were other lesser demon generals, he wouldn\'t care about them.
But these ones were the most powerful of all his lesser creatures and were in charge of collecting key materials for the big fiasco.
Thus, their magic vanishing act would only stall everyone\'s plans.
That\'s why he had taken it upon himself to see things with his own eyes.
However, on his way over, who could be him why he suddenly got word of the disappearance of his baby too?
That\'s right. He was met with one bad news after the other.
His baby... His baby was needed for the cause.
So was it? Who stole his precious time finger?!
.
Dammit!
Beelzebub was livid!
He had a hunch that this was something to do with those damn newbies.
Do you know how powerful that finger was?
Make no mistake. Even though Lucifer was the first ruler of the underworld before he stepped down, like he said, there had been countless other rulers, some who had ruled for a way longer time than Lucifer.
And, they were also more powerful than all 7 of them out together.
There was a high possibility for his baby to belong to Cleodart, who used to be the most powerful and longest-serving ruler of all!
So do you know how much power was stored in that finger?
Beelzebub\'s expression turned grim.
No! He had to get back to the underworld and investigate those 3 bastards for himself.
No matter the cost, he had to receive it back!
No one takes his bone finger and gets away with it.
With that, he vanished.
~Pff.
Beelzebub was heading for the underworld.
But unbeknownst to him, the real culprit of the matter wasn\'t too far away.
Dorian calmly sat cross-legged on his bed, cultivating deeply.
Tomorrow he\'ll build his Academy!
