Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

Chapter 298: Nyx - Former Celestial King

"Old man, why are you so annoying!" I shouted, rushing through the depths of space as Tang Feng gave chase with a lust expression, his body appearing like a radiant star.

"Nyx! Tell me your secret! My wife has not been so happy in years!" he shouted, licking his lips sending a chill down my spine. "Live with me!"

"Damn you. Leave me alone!" I begged in tears, "I just wanted to help Yura! "

"Yura? Oh shit, I forgot you did say something about that, didn't you?" Tang Feng suddenly shouted, coming to a stop to my relief. "Why not come to my place so we—"

"Fuck no, you're trying to trick me into making tea for your wife again!" I screamed, glaring daggers at the old man pouting.

Clitting his tongue, he sighed, "Fine, whats has happened to my Granddaughter?" He patiently asked, growing a little solemn to my surprise.

"She got caught up with Arsene's Trial with the demons and Devils of the nines. She was taken by Sitri!" I coldly said, instantly covering my body with darkness. However, even then, blood gushed from my lips as my organs began to shake at the massive amount of radiant power exploding off Tang Feng.

As if the universe was shaking, time and space began to bend as he glared coldly at me, "What the hell do you mean, Sitri."

Bowing towards not the old man from before but the Celestrial King, I spoke, "Its as I said. Yura and Arsene are Soul Linked if you didn't know. I do not have to say what a soul mate means to one another, do I? To break Arsene, he took her, and Lilith is nowhere to be found."

Mixing lies and truth was a must, especially towards this man. Who was strong enough to battle the top brass of Nox. Even finding this fucker had cost me a great deal. That bastard Arsene definitely owes me for this! I may have to sell his dick just to cover some of the cost.

"What is going on right now?" He hastily asked with a pale grimace.

"A realm war was induced by Arsene. Right now, Midgard is a war zone. I have not heard much of what happened since he asked that I come to see you. Can I assume you can help?"

"... I cannot interfere in his trials." Tang Feng shamefully whispered, looking away.

"We are not asking you to interfere in the war or his trials but rather give us some powerful materials or weapons to meltdown. Arsene is trying to reforge a dagger from the nine hells. A gift from a Prince of Hell from five years ago."

Widening his eyes, he nodded, "Five years ago, didn't Yura call upon me — Wait, how powerful does this material need to be?"

"Powerful enough to wound an Elder god like yourself who trains in both fields. The dagger Arsene was given allows him to roam the abyss without dying. I should not have to tell you how powerful that is. What we ask is for the heart of the Eternal Dragon of Night. Its heart and bones would be perfect in reforging a Realm Blade."

"Are you mad!" He cried out in shock, "Are you fucking with me? Take me to this bastard Arsene now! I will speak to him directly!"

Shrugging, I nodded, "Fine, but you will have to come to the Underworld. No one can know what Arsene is doing."

Creasing his brow, he frowned, "Hades... the Fallen King. Will he be there?" Tang Feng asked.

"Now, I have not heard of such a title in such a long time." I said bitterly, smiling even. "that Era is over. He, along with the others, are fine with it."

"What incarnation is he?" Tang Feng could not help but ask.

"Did you forget us Gods cannot die within our realm?" I light-heartedly remarked, "Most of us are the first Incarnation. The closest thing to the original."

"yet not the original. Compelled to repeat the tragic mistakes of the past." He stated, rubbing salt upon our wounds.

Snorting, I glared furiously at The Former Celestrial King, "Hades and I have long since passed that point. We are free, from our Linage."

Lowering his head, Tang Feng Sighed, "Forgive me, I should not have said what I did, but Hades used to rule one of the Twelve Planes. His power was unrivaled to see him now... Like so is—"

"it's nothing, for it was not ours, to begin with. Hades nor I care not of the past. We are not compelled to battle against the power that caused it. We live simply to enjoy, to be free, and we are."

"I suppose you are not wrong," Tang Feng muttered, "Then tell me then why are you helping Arsene and my Granddaughter? I am sure Arsene being a child of Tenebrae, should not have compelled you to do as you are now."

"To make our own history, at least that is how it is for me. Do you have any idea how hard it is to awake to a world of darkness and have your entire life laid bare in front of you? We, the first incarnations, are all born into our roles. We have no memories of what life truly is, only a role that we had to play out. I had to marry and foster kids from a man I was forced to love. I had no control over myself, no inclination of what freedom was. I was a slave to my history, and I wish to make my own."

"And if Arsene and my granddaughter prove to—"

"Arsene is like a son to me!" I coldly said, "A faithful child no less, I received from Tenebrae. Where he can't or not, I will never put his life on the line. I will help and train, but I will never push him into something against his will."

"I see, then lead the way, Lady Nyx," Tang Feng said, bowing towards me. Feeling I had gained a deep respect from the man, I could not lie and say I did not feel pride. Tang Feng was a monster in almost every regard.

"Than shall we enter the Shadow Realm? There is someone who wants to meet you before you meet with Arsene. She has been quite anxious to meet with you." I vibrantly said, watching the goosebumps appear upon the Former Celestrial King.
