Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

Chapter 427: Soul Devourer

"What is the meaning of this?" I calmly demanded, not letting my power get the best of me. Yet despite my calmness, I could feel something within me bubbling like a storm ready to explode.

Covering me with various inscriptions, I could see hundreds of powerful formations trying to invade me. Yet despite their oppressive power attempting to dig into my flesh, a domineering force of darkness stormed from me, slowly igniting the wrath I kept at bay.

"Kneel," I barked as Cloud fell to his knees at my command, allowing a sea of blood to gush from his knees.

'Sene,' Lilith called in a warning tone.

"Insignificant trash, before I peal your very soul from your existence speak," I commanded, feeling the realm of the Bed of Chaos to be my eyes and ears. It was as if I held infinite knowledge at this moment.

"I-I-I! AAAA!~"

Piercing my hand through his skull, I tore his eye from his socket, staining my hand with blood, "Lowly trash. Stutter once again, and I peal you alive."

"Sene," Lilith firmly called.

"It was only to test..."

Turning his entire body to a mist of gore, with a single snap, I sneered as his azure soul appeared within my hands, "I need an explanation now." I voice, arching my lips, taking the soul to my lips.

Biting down upon his soul flame, a sweet scream of heaven exploded out from within me as I slowly began to chew his immortal soul at a pace where he would sustain me and suffer.

Enjoying the screams that could last an eternity, I continued till his shrieks kept rising, begging for an end.

It was like chewing gum, except I could feel his memories were my flavor. I could see the years begin to pass, the few years of slavery under some's thrall. It was all mine to see. Yes... I could see this worm crawling from birth, its rise to power, and its end.

"ARSENE!" Lilith barked, awakening me.

"Hmm? What's up?" I asked with a smile, tasting an odd flavor within my mouth I could not even begin to describe. It was quite savourily yet sweet, and it was singing such a sweet song. Humming alongside him, I turned to Lili.

"You just killed cloud," She coldly uttered, pointing to the blood splatter just at my feet.

"Oops."

"Oops? Is that really all you have to say?"

"Oops," I repeated. It was all I had to say. I could barely recall what happened, and for some reason, I was OK with it. It's not like I was trying to harm myself.

"How are we going to explain this?" Lilith voiced darkly, staring down at the bloodstain.

"We tell the truth, of course, Cloud combusted into a gore of blood. This system is used to scan the bodies down to a singularity. It is supposed to tell us if we are capable of having kids. The hell couldn't he just say that in the first place."

"He was trying to. You were just too impatient--"

"What the hell is going on in there? Cloud, did you activate the device? What's taking so long?" A voice suddenly called over the intercom, shocking Lilith.

"No camera's soooo we just go with the flow. Let's see what happens." I voiced with a laugh; with the memories of this place within my mind, I felt oddly relaxed.

"You're an idiot."

...

...

...

"Let me get this straight, Cloud a Star-Lord God just exploded without warning." Saleh, head of security, repeated for the thirtieth time within the resort's rather luxurious prison. "You can see why your story doesn't make sense."

"I think it makes perfect sense, "I replied, knowing Lilith was having the same conversation in another room. "he seemed tired of life."

Clapping his hands against the desk, Saleh roared, with fire in his eyes, "LIES!!! Tell me the truth now."

Chewing on Cloud's soul, I shrugged. There was not much we could do and not much they could blame on me. After all, who could believe those in the Realm of World could kill a God? Shit, even I find it hard to believe I killed him, and I apparently did it.

"So after you saw he died, you still asked Vimor to activate the device.'

"How else were we supposed to get the results?" I asked, nodding my head, feeling what I did was justified. "His death was not on me. I think it's best you all find out what happened. It's our money that is being spent here."

"Your lying," he barked, flipping the table over to my surprise. Hearing it crash into the wall shattering into pieces, I frowned, quite annoyed at the emotional beast-man glaring with wolf-like eyes.

"Brah, calm down. Not my fault you can't figure this shit out? The dude killed himself, or some almighty entity grew tired of him. Either way, I am leaving. My wife and I still need to get treated. I need to put a baby in her soon."

Rising up from my chair, I stretched my arms, feeling quite good getting to annoy someone again. It has been so long.

"Sit your ass down; we are not done." howled Saleh, flaring his nostrils.

"Doggie, I would watch how you speak to me." I uttered arrogantly, similar to how an evil young master would speak, glaring at the man that looked to be a werewolf, "We are your guest, and you failed to have protocols in place. Now I, along with my family, are in danger. Wait till the Celestrial Palace or The Holy City hears of this."

"You!"

"Indeed, I bitch, now let us go or kill us. Either way, I am growing weary of this bullshit! Wait till my master hears of this. The audacity, I swear!" I shouted astoundedly while Saleh appeared so furious I could see it was taking everything within him not to strike me down.

My god, I need to behave like this more often. This is fun. No wonder other young masters behave like so.

"I am a god! You a lowly moral."

"I can piss on the floor and have you pick it up. You are simply a lowly god, probably not even a mid god. Now! I expect a full detailed report both on my wife and myself. All charges are going to my good friend and brother Siegfried. His master is covering everything. Let that be an idea of how powerful our families are."

Stepping out with a satisfied smile, I could feel a horrendous divinity beginning to leak from behind the door. Picking up a bit of pace, my gaze fell upon Lilith, who did not seem to be the least bit pleased. She was brooding. That much was clear.

"You're too happy Sene, don't tell me your back to old habits?"

"It's the gum, my love. I just feel super happy, is all. I didn't even know I had this ability."
