CHAPTER 140: THE INVASION

As Loki went of to enjoy the pleasures that the city gave out, I went back to my own, personal pleasure. I’m not sure why, but it just brings me so much euphoria.

Not the carnal kind, but the emotional kind. It was one of the things that allowed me to grow in power, finding different sources of pleasure.

I don’t know why this was the case, maybe it had something to with how I view my Sin? Either way That wasn’t important to me right now, what was important was my daughter.

She was currently celebrating the creation of the ring with the dwarves that helped make it. After they congratulated everyone, including themselves, they all took the rest of the day off, and as for my little girl, she went to prepare for some sort of event that the people appeared to be preparing for, must be the changing of the seasons.

Speaking of, I could sense a curse upon that forest that disallowed the seasons to function properly, and said curse had a familiar air to it, like it was made by someone I know, but I can’t quite tell who. Definitely someone in Hell, but who?

Doesn’t matter, all it does is prevent Spring and Autumn from existing. Actually, now that I think about it that might be bad for my daughter as she isn’t that resistant to the cold. She might feel like wanting to hibernate, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it might impact her lifestyle. I hope she can overcome this.

She did! She basically forced her body into heat through sex, allowing her to overcome her hibernation instincts, or more accurately, she brumates, which makes her metabolism slower and desire a warmer atmosphere. But if she activates her sex drive, then her body will demand more energy, resetting her metabolism back to normal.

That’s good, she managed to adapt and overcome this problem, allowing her to return to her normal life of going to work to forge things while going on dates with her beloved in her free time.

Anyways, winter comes and my daughter and her lover go out to enjoy a festival that the people put together, and at the end of it, my daughter gifts the ring she made to the stag futa. Seems that she really does love her, I hope they take care of each other and live long prosperous lives.

They then proceeded to fuck, which induced everyone else in the park they were in to do the same.

Their lives were fairly uneventful from there on out, with them going about their day working or spending time together, before they then released their lust upon one another at night.

They went to a party near the end of winter and my daughter passed out from drinking too much alcohol.

And then some news about a demonic goblin infestation deep in the forest arrived. And that’s when I remembered.

Diablo’s followers consist of lots of weak little fuckers like goblins and imps who couldn’t find a circle that fit them. And if you aren’t part of one of the eight circle’s controlled by the Seven Sins and Lilith, then you are considered a cast out and thrown into the depths of Hell, where Diablo is sealed away.

This did not bode well in my opinion. Diablo’s been trying to free himself for millennia, ever since we locked him up after we took over Hell. Every plan that he’s come up with always brings about chaos and devastation on a massive scale.

If he’s scheming inside the forest, then it’s definitely going to involve absorbing the souls that die. And if... Traytora dies...

I need to stop this.

I immediately began preparing by giving out the news to my court and to give it to the other circle’s. None of them will be happy with Diablo’s shenanigans and more than likely help me with this.

Every time he’s done this in the past, he’s weakened his seal and then we’ve all had to come together to re-strengthen it.

My court got to work, sending out the messengers with what I’d learned and also preparing our forces to fight. Yes, my demons can fight, and they fight dirty, dirtier than any other demons in fact.

As for me, there wasn’t much I could do to prepare other than oversee the preparations. I also made an earring that allowed me to see what my daughter was doing. I did this just so I could feel safe knowing that she was also.

Two weeks had passed the only two archdemons that didn’t respond was Belphegor, for obvious reasons, and Satan. I think he’s just staying away out of spite because I was the one sent the message.

Regardless, it’s high time we get rid of this piece of shit once and for all.

"Everyone ready?" I asked. There was six of us including myself.

"I believe so." Lucifer responded.

"Honestly, we should’ve killed him long ago." Lilith remarked.

"Well, we would’ve done that if not for the fact that we weren’t capable of it until now." Beelzebub explained.

"Wait, so why are we doing it now?" Mammon asked.

"Because he’s threatening the livelihood of my daughter." I answered.

"Really? That’s the reason you gathered us?" Leviathan questioned.

"It also doesn’t answer my question." Mammon pointed out.

"We’re getting off track. Who cares why? We’re doing, end of." I said, wanting to get this over with now.

"He’s right, it doesn’t matter why, all that matters is that we do it." Lucifer said, agreeing with me.

"Fine, let’s get this over with." Mammon whined.

With that, we opened a link to all of our forces and the space that Diablo and his forces resided. Coincidentally, Traytora and the people of the city were doing something similar.

And with a thunderous war cry coming from our soldiers, they charged into battle, where Diablo’s forces where they greeted us with their own war cry. The small fry fought on the ground while some of the more elite battled it out in the sky.

As for us, we moved over to Diablo himself. And as we did so, I could see Traytora sneaking into the demon’s camp, where I saw a demonic empowerment ritual that was powered with souls from the nearby area.

"We need to hurry up." I told everyone.

"Why?" Leviathan asked.

"Empowerment formation using souls." Was all I said.

"Understood." Said Lucifer, heading towards Diablo’s location faster, prompting the rest of us to hasten our paces as well.

This place was enormous, and that’s because the land itself was the inscription that sealed Diablo, and included in it was something that prevented any spacial manipulation, except for portals at the edge of the domain.

We reached the place he was sealed. A giant invisible bubble.

"Well well well, look what we have here, six of the eight rulers of Hell, to what do I owe the pleasure?" He greeted us with a calm and smug facade, as he knew we were here, it wasn’t like we tried to hide our arrival.

"Diablo, we are here to kill you." Lucifer stated.

"Ah, but you see, that’s where you’re wrong, this where I become free, and exact my revenge on all of you." He said with the same smug smile. "I’m currently enacting a plan, which you are aware of aren’t you, Asmodeus?"

"You won’t succeed." I stated bluntly.

"Wrong, I will. You see, I’ve been preparing this one for millennia, and I won’t have all of you ruin it for me." He said threateningly.

"We’ll see about that." Lucifer retorted.

And then, Diablo’s smile got bigger and turned into a grin.

"Phase one, complete." He said, staring at me with intense malice.

That’s when I saw what Traytora saw, a sinister power summoned in the city of the Yggdrasill spawn.

He was after the soul of the tree.
