Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

It had taken over a week of debating until Tenebrae and Lucifer had agreed on the Avernus Gate. To Lucifer, it wasn't just about moving the gate. He wanted it protected. He wanted it to be untouched by anyone who enters or administers the towers.

Tene agreed to most of his requests but debated that mortals and humans had the right to touch the gate. To which Lucifer acknowledged for some reason. Apparently, it would seem that humans played quite a major role in the Hells, despite being quite useless as a race.

"See you later, Aunty. Always exhausting … I mean, interesting doing business with you."

"Bye-Bye, Luci! You to Mepho!" Tene shouted, waving them off. But I couldn't help but notice the tinge of annoyance when Mephisto heard that nickname my daughter granted him. He grimaced and then vanished alongside Lucifer.

"Seems he's mad your daughter killed him. Hehe. I kind of feel sorry for her in the future. That girl is about to feel the wrath of that trickster." Tenebrae said, startling me for a second.

"Mephisto doesn't seem like one to hold a grudge," I told her. And honestly, it was true. He was too laid back or busy to care about getting even with people over small wrongdoings. He was a trickster at heart. He may annoy people, but I don't foresee him being mad over the death of his already-trapped clone.

"Mephisto is like a child at times. He'll get Iza back. Anyway, I've got to go. I've got to find the perfect world to raise my little boy. Earth is currently number one."

"Earth?" I mentioned lifting a brow. It was such a weak world. Raising him on Earth, wouldn't that only waste his potential?

Tenebrae nodded. "Yeah, the Avernus Gate can't leave Earth. But the rules never speculated which Earth. I'm thinking of using one from this Realm. The Lower realms are dying anyway."

"Dying? What do you mean?"

"Oh yeah. I forgot your kind of a noob." She teased, flicking my nose. "Well, Earth is a mortal world in a lower realm. And as you know, lower realms have Parallel Worlds. But since the rise of the Fourth Heaven, these realms have been slowly beginning to cave into themselves. So I plan to pull a good version of one of these Parallel realms into our Heaven and plant the Main Tower of Babel on it. Not only will it grant Earth a huge amount of Qi, but it might even mutate the Earthlings for the better. I'll go through a few trials runs. To see how much is too much and how little is too little.

Feeling the flutter of the winds against my cheek, and the cool grace of the moon, sinking into my bones on this beautiful night, I fell into deep thought for a second before another thought came to mind.

"You mentioned something about the One's Blessing. What does it do? Mephisto didn't even try to resist you back when you said you were placing him under arrest."

"Oh, that? Well, it depends on the individual. It grants me ten percent access to my true power held in my main body. But for others, if you are born with the Father's Blessing, think of it as living life on super easy mode. You'll instantly be blessed with riches beyond your dreams. You'll have the highest level of talent and luck. And when the Blessing is activated, well… everything about you will transform, whether it's for the good or bad, it varies, but Adam and Eve gained such a level of power they were able to beat the Mother of Demons who towered over them be it in ability or cultivation."

"... Are they able to enter the Realm of Spirits?"

Tenebrae nodded. "Indeed. But only with the Blessing. You must understand Arsene, the Realm of Spirits, was something I created by creating the other Primordials. Depending on the depth and length of how you perceive the Spirit Realm, you'll be both omniscient and omnipotent. But if you think it doesn't come with a price, your wrong."

She created the Realm of Spirits… Holy Shit.

"Tenebrae… how strong are you compared to Lord Hellmaster?" I couldn't help but ask. "I mean, if your main bodies fight?"

She scratched her cheek and looked up, lost in thought for a while. "I don't know. It might vary each time, but I'll get a few kills. He would too. But our main bodies don't have minds as we do now. Only a will." she explained, lifting her lips as she placed her hands over her curvy hips. "Are you now realizing how awesome I am?"

"Well, after eating you up till your legs could only convulse. I got quite the idea. I just didn't know about the Spirit Realm.

A bashful smile graced her lips as she nodded and lowered her head. "I am the origin of all elements and concepts. The Abyss created me, but the One granted me a physical form and mind. Although, if you did go into the Spirit Realm, you'd be quite mad."

"Oh? Why?"

She looked up at me and took a few steps back, almost as if guilty about something. "Well. Because you've been using the Darkness wrong."

"... Excuse me?"

"Sene… umm. You shadow the elements around you. And only recently touched upon the Aspect of Sealing. And you know a lot of my history. Doesn't it seem odd you are still shadowing the various Elements only to tarnish them? The Path you chose isn't necessarily wrong but also not correct."

"NOW YOU TELL ME!!!!" I shouted.

She jolted back a couple more steps. "Well, it's kind of too late now!" She replied, trembling all over as if I was going to spank her.

"Come over here!"

"Sene…" She grumbled, lowering her head. "I..' And she shot her head up. "I'm pregnant. You can't harm me!"

"..."

When have I ever hurt one of my lovers? She must be watching too much TV.

"Here now," I told her coldly, and she inched towards me like a little penguin. "Good. Very good.' I said, and my hand firmly grabbed hold of her tender cheeks, too soft to be anything but the divine itself, turning her face red. "You must want a spanking."

"EH!?

"You're going to tell me this correct path."

'But… but it's… too."

"I have the Path of Abyssal Night. I live to break the rules."

"But… Altair—"

"Will be just fine. Spill it." I evilly said, jerking her into my embrace as the flutter of jasmine tickled my nose.

She bit her lips. "Sene… I've lots of work."

"Tell your husband," I told her as her eyes grew wet. She looked up with a pleading gaze.

"I'll teach Altair it."

"But not your hubby?"

"You've already started on your Path, Sene, to deviate so far along your Path. Even with the Path of Abyssal Night, you would ruin good progress. And corrupt your mind for a very long time."

I leaned in closer. And stared deep into those obsidian eyes of hers. "Tell me."

And she gulped. "origin. I'm the origin of it all."

"And?"

"You don't need to Shadow the Elements like you've been doing when you create fire." She hastily explained as my lips inched closer to hers. "Since I created all those Elements, with the Darkness, you can simply create it rather than mirror them. Doing so makes you the Monarch of All Elements. That's the truth of the Darkness."
