The Princess And The Lord

In the midst of the darkness, suddenly appeared a bright bright light that was so dazzling that it forced Lazarus to close his eyes before long, he heard the voices of many people speaking simultaneously but their voices were coated with dignity and authority, Lazarus didn't need to guessed whose this voice belongs to

'Listen, child of darkness, we punish you in order to save you from evil, have we not shown how hatred and love destroy everything, how it ruined everything and caused everything that you had done in vain. Therefore we hope you understand your mistake, and you can see that you are meant for something bigger, that's why we are giving you a chance to atone for your sins, so be rejoice for we have forgiven you'

After the sound disappeared, the excruciating pain that had tormented him disappeared without a trace even though the scars from his torture still remained.

'Rejoice?'

A sneer played at the corners of his lips, Lazarus clenched his fists as he forced himself to get up from the ground, 'How merciful they are' his laugh was bitter, even though the gods made their reason sound righteous but he knew very well the only reason they lifted their punishment was that they still needed him to watch over this godforsaken place.

However, the god wasn't wrong, he was indeed destined for something greater, and he finally understood. The lingering pain from the torture still tormented him but he didn't care as he had more important things to do. With staggered steps, he climb the stairs while blood dripped from his body leaving marks behind him like a forewarning of what he was about to do. Lazarus then stopped at one of the doors, he slowly pushed open the door suddenly a strong wind hit him.

The world that was only filled with nature and plants present before him, is the same world he had shown to Arthea previously. A memory flashes in his mind but he has no time to dwell on the melancholy thought, he pushes himself to strides forward after a long time while he stops in front of the small little flower that Arthea helps to purify.

The flower that was once evil now flowing with light it was pure and gentle it didn't take long for the flower to get sentient but he didn't need a pure flower what he needed was power Lazarus lifted his injured hand over the flower then his blood dripped on the flower petals then falling to the ground over time the blood begin to soak the soiled around the flower soon the flower slowly absorb Lazarus' blood then gradually the color of the flower petals which was originally white changed to dark red almost like black.

"Good, take my blood child, after this, you will become a part of me, my child...." his eyes were full of malice.

Lazarus has learned that everything created by the gods carries a small portion of God's power, especially human souls, therefore, he concludes if he absorbs human souls he will gain The god's divine powers which will make him stronger, so if he absorbs enough human souls it wasn't impossible that he would be as powerful as the gods or perhaps even stronger when that happened no one can stop him not even the god restrictions affect him.

That's why he need the little flower, once the flower absorbed enough of his blood Lazarus took the flower with him before he left the world, after he experienced the god's restriction he realized that the god's restrictiom only worked on him alone.

However they don't predict the arrival of a foreign object that will mess up the balance of the world because if it happens god will send him to take care of the problem but what happens if he turns blind eyes, Lazarus has finally found a loophole in God's order.

Lazarus then entered another world, a world filled with tall buildings, and skyscrapers, where the sound of vehicles and humans filled the air as if it never stopped, while large screens were displayed in the building and every corner showed pictures of beautiful men and women and thousands of people filled the street like a human sea but none of them seem to care of what happened around them as they all seem busy with themselves.

In this world, the human had no 'gifted' power like Arthea's world nor cultivation like in his brother's world nevertheless the human in this world thrives like no other world making this world one of the most successful worlds that god ever created but that also become the perfect place for him to start.

Lazarus walked in the middle of the human bustle without anyone noticing his presence, Lazarus looked to his right he saw a hill not far away, it seemed that would be a suitable place. Lazarus stamped his foot and then shot toward the hill like a bullet, a few seconds later he arrived, Lazarus headed to the edge of the hill then he planted the flower.

"Have a great feast, my child…" an evil grin danced on his face, Lazarus then set his sights on the tall buildings where thousands of people carried their lives without realizing the doom that would befall them. Lazarus stood there for a long time while his mind wandered until he heard a small voice in his head, pleading with a desperate voice.

'STOP!'

'This is not what you were meant to be'

'It's not you'

Lazarus' face hardened, he pushed the voice behind his back everything then become quiet again, Lazarus take a deep breath not long after he notice the rumbling sky.

'I will not bow down again' a cold, dangerous glitter in his eyes.

The ground around the flower started to crack as the dark thorny vine flower spread rapidly in just the blink of an eye the flower covered the entire hill by eating other plants and small animals around as nutrition, needles today it wasn't enough to satisfy the flower, thus it vines spread even further, alas, it stumbles some college kids who were having a small party but when they realized what was happening it was too late.

They scream in panic as one by one they were caught by the black thorny vines, many of them try to escape but they were caged by the vines that encircled them and then grew higher like a thorny wall, there was nothing else they could do other than scream in despair when the vines crushed their bones it didn't take long before they become silent soon their corpses were buried among the vines follow by more crushing bones and tearing flesh as the plants consumed the poor children corpses at the same time the little flower size increased significantly.

Lazarus watched the flower beaming with anticipation he waited for God's ban to bind him but nothing happened it seems his hypothesis was correct unfortunately he found out too late but not too late this way he can increase his strength without being hindered by the gods.

Lazarus closed his eyes and then began to absorb the energy from the flower while the flower vines reached the nearest town and attacked everyone who was there indiscriminately.

the more souls that are killed the bigger the flower becomes and the more power Lazarus absorbs, as a result, his body gradually changes, bit by bit black scales start to cover his pale skin and his iris turn into their original form, which is snake eyes but what more conspicuous is the iris that used to be black like an onyx gem with gold circles around it just like a ring have now turned into scary yellow snake eyes.

As the city fell into chaos, more and more casualties fell, be it, humans, animals, or ordinary plants everything perishes, hence in a relatively short time the once vibrant city turned into a ghost town but the flower demon Lazarus did not stop there.

The flower vines had grown bigger and bigger like monsters and spread in all directions like an unstoppable tumor, starting to infect the entire world with terror and horror.

Even though humans tried to fight back by deploying their weapons and soldiers but unfortunately they were no match for Lazarus and his Demonic flower, in the midst of his desperation there are a few humans who began to treat Lazarus as a god later on they volunteraly give their soul in exchange of Lazarus power also the chance to escape this calamity.

Blinded by fear and despair, humans flock to give up their lives just to be able to live a little longer, even though that means they have to become monsters and demon slaves, but they don't care because it is human nature to survive.

Thereby, Lazarus becomes stronger and stronger and he indeed becomes the god he thought he could be, a false god nonetheless but it's enough for him to break from the god's restriction, hence it will be too long for him to direct his vengeance on the people that hurt him in the first place.
