Chapter 493: Lilith - Into The Abyss

Holding onto my shoulder, Aurelia turned towards the window, bathing the room with light. Taking a step forward, she pulled me along.

It had happened quickly and almost silently, but my ears and eyes had caught sight of a million mirrors shattering into fragments.

It was as if I was living in a world of mirrors and lies. The truth I thought of Dao and Concepts merely seemed like words on paper, as we somehow appeared in space surrounded by the vast expanse.

"Welcome to the Edge of Heaven," Aurelia explained, allowing my gaze to wonder over what seemed to be too real to exist. "Guess this will bit hard to understand, but all that you saw in the Bed of Chaos is a lie, an illusion. It was created by powers so powerful it shot across the infinite upper, and lower planes as to no destroy reality."

"I don't understand." I absentmindedly replied, touching my fingers that seemed different; even my Qi seemed like it was not my own but rather some foreign entity. "Why did I not experience this in the Abyss?"

"The Abyss is Chaos. Some areas are very well put together to allow life; others regions will slaughter powerful monsters from the Thirty-three heavens like they were ants." She said, startling me even more.

"Thirty-three heavens?"

"You should not be here, Aurelia. Especially with that girl. If your father finds out, or Michael, I will be in hot shit, as the Protector." The somewhat apprehensive voice of Zariel thundered in my mind.

Arching her middle finger, with a bit of anger, she sneered, "You go behind my back. I go behind your back."

"Screw that! Get the hell out of here! I took a hit from his Majesty for you! And we were promised that our kids are in stasis. They have not aged a single second." The ethereal voice of Zariel promised.

Snorting a little cutely, Aurelia's grip grew tighter as I once more heard the shattering of mirrors rain over my ears. Growing a bit faint, at this new heaven that seemed to appear then vanish once more again and again.

A painful cry escaped my lips, forcing me to clench my chest, sensing my own Qi rejected me, as it did all those years ago when I refused to use Abyssal Qi.

Shutting my eyes, I felt betrayed for some reason. Not at anyone in particular, but rather myself. Why?

"This is where we part, Lilith." Aurelia suddenly whispered my name, sounding rather heartbroken. Opening my eyes, I could see her face covered in tears. "Please open the gates; I don't want my child to disappear again."

'Your?"

Bleeding tears she nodded, before vanishing before I could continue. Leaving me with this bitter pain, I didn't understand; I stood in the space of complete Abyss.

As for as I could see, I saw nothing but a single wisp of Abyssal Qi, purer than anything I could ever produce. It was pulsing with a black and red glow that seemed to beckon to me.

Holding onto this feeling of rejection that continued to pour from myself. I grew even more confused.

Uncertain of my next course of action, I proceeded. Finding myself approaching the wisp of energy swirling without intent, my fingered already etched towards it, with a bit hesitation.

"To think she would send you here." A deep voice so warm and comforting spoke, halting my fingers just as it was about to touch upon the-wisp.

"Seems like Zariel is going to get struck by father once again, for the second time. I do not envy that brat. How he survived the first judgment will be a mystery to me, even to this day." He continued appearing in my view with long black wings that tugged at my soul.

The man. No, the Angel before me was so devilishly handsome; one would think he had invented the very saying. His gaze was a glint of scarlet that seemed so original; one would never forget its stare. His brow was sharper than the finest blade, while his aura seemed so enticing one would simply forget their trouble.

"Lucifer Morningstar, it's a pleasure." He said, with a gentlemanly bow, "I welcome you back home, my lady."

Forgetting my weariness and this godforsaken feeling, I stared at what seemed to be a being of pure perfection.

"Guessing Aurelia and Zariel didn't show you their true appearance did they." He muttered with a bit of bitterness. "it's of no consequence. After all, this is your domain. You simply need to wish it, and it shall happen."

"Your the Lord of Hell, the root of all sin."

"Please, I merely tempt. It is you who chooses to sin." he replied, drawing a bit closer, and smiled, "So young, yet so important, just like that little bastard screwing my daughter."

He shook his head as if to cast away a memory, "I understand what you are feeling, Lilith. But the feeling of betrayal is due to your body itself. It's so weak, so pathetic. It's a crime even to be here. Once father hears of this if he hasn't already. Zariel is definitely going to be crippled for a bit."

"I don't understand? What is going on?" I uttered a little feebly, my fingers still hovering over the wisp of abyssal energy calling for me.

"I don't want to be struck down like Zariel. So I will keep quiet on our past, but I am definitely going to enjoy Father striking him down for the second time." The Devil said, chuckling with a playful glint that reminded me a bit of Aurelia's.

"All power comes with a price, even if you are currently outside fathers' domain. The price will be paid once you reenter. Do not be greedy; it would be a shame if you lose something you crave more than anything." He warned solemnly, fading away like a ghost in the dead of night.

For some reason, it had felt a bit cold at this current moment. It was as if I was being monitored, or rather I was being judged.

Pulling my fingers back a bit, I held my stomach, with my gaze upon the wisp of abyssal energy calling for me.

"Anything I want?"
