Destroying My Own World

(Deepest part in Hell)

Lucifer was standing in front of an altar where all the Princes, Dukes, and ranked demons gathered behind him. Lilith was standing next to him and watched him put the World Egg on the flat surface in the middle of the altar.

The World Egg had been shaking fiercely as if it was about to hatch, and the moment Lucifer transferred his power it hatched. Asmodeus had been reborn, and everyone could sense that she had become a lot stronger than before.

Asmodeus landed right in front of Lucifer and immediately bowed down to her knees. She slowly showed her wings and that was when everyone glared at her in disbelief. One of her two wings had turned back to like how it used to be, a silver feathered wing.

"My life is yours, Lucifer," Asmodeus said as she slowly lifted her head to look at Lucifer.

"Welcome back, and I hope you like the gift," Lucifer said as he looked at Asmodeus' right wing. "How much have you regained your original power?" Lucifer asked.

"All of them," Asmodeus answered as she flapped her wings and released [Holy Flame] ambers that would be enough to kill any demon. "And I have attained a new power," Asmodeus added as she stood up.

The amber she released suddenly turned into a clone of herself, and there were a dozen of them. The clones were at least half of her power, and that should be enough to create an army of herself.

"Good. Now you shouldn't risk yourself again unless it's necessary," Lucifer said as he looked at all the clones. "Now, bring them to me," Lucifer ordered as he looked at Leviathan.

Leviathan pulled the chains she held and then Anzel, Eun Soo, Luis, Anastasia, Danny, and Gea appeared from thin air. They were all shackled on their necks and wrists, and then Leviathan brought them to the altar and put them behind Lucifer.

Lucifer grabbed the World Egg and then pointed it at Gea as he ordered her to touch it. Gea touched the World Egg and suddenly she collapsed because her soul was sucked into the World Egg.

"You can use her body as you wish, Levi," Lucifer said as he turned around and looked at the glowing World Egg.

"With pleasure," Leviathan smirked and then glanced at Asmodeus because she wanted to brag about it. To her surprise, Asmodeus didn't care about it at all as if she was no longer herself.

Lucifer took Gea's soul from the World Egg and made it his as he gained the [Purity] skill from her. He then did the same thing to Anzel and the others until he got the Six of Seven Virtues skills. He looked thrilled, but that didn't satisfy him because he needed the [Humility] skill from Sasha, but that wouldn't be impossible to get.

All the demons looked at Lucifer who got six feathered wings on his back with different colors. Purple, Red, Gold, White, Green, and Blue that represent each virtue. He became so powerful that it terrified everyone that was present in the ritual, even the Princes of Hell.

"Now, I need all of your power as well," Lucifer said as he reached out the World Egg to Leviathan, Beelzebub, Belphegor, Satan, and Mammon. "Don't be afraid. I will make you all reborn and regain all the powers that you used to have," Lucifer continued with a smile.

Lilith watched the process and she was still suspicious about why The Lord gave Lucifer the World Egg. She was afraid that everything that Lucifer had built and prepared would be erased in a snap of a finger. This opportunity only made her cautious and skeptical that The Lord didn't scheme something from doing this.

All the fallen angels were given their powers back through the ritual by Lucifer, and their powers had been multiplied by a lot. With their current power, the army of Angels and the Archangels would have a problem dealing with them.

Lucifer approached Lilith and suddenly offered the World Egg to her which surprised her.

"What do you want me to do with it?" Lilith asked as she looked at the World Egg in Lucifer's hand.

"I have given their powers back and made something new with them. It's time for me to do the same, and I want you to do it for me," Lucifer answered as he looked at Lilith. "I want you to do the ritual and make me reborn into something new," Lucifer added.

"No, I don't want to do it. You know that I don't like this whole thing, and I don't want to be the one who take responsible if anything happened to you," Lilith answered without hesitation as she kept shaking her head. "Ask them instead. I'm not going to be a part of this," Lilith added with a serious expression.

Lucifer put his left hand on Lilith's cheek and gently caressed it as he looked her in the eyes.

"We have been together for almost eternity. We have been living in the garden and heaven, we have been plotting everything together," Lucifer said as he kept caressing Lilith's cheek. "You're the only one I trust the most. No matter what happened, we will always be together, forever, for eternity," Lucifer continued.

Hearing that from Lucifer's mouth, she couldn't help but accept his request even though she was still reluctant to do it. She grabbed the World Egg, and then Lucifer put his hand on it as he took a deep breath and closed his eyes. In an instant, Lucifer collapsed and that scene made all the demons heartache to see their king collapse.

Lilith looked at the immense power inside the World Egg, and it cracked even before she could do anything to it. She immediately put the World Egg on the altar and then used her power to open the World Egg. But when she gave all her energy into the World Egg, it wasn't enough and it made her a bit panicked.

"All of you! Help me!" Lilith said as she looked at the Princes of Hell.

Without thinking twice, all the Princes of Hell came up to the altar and tried to open the World Egg that was about to explode. If the World Egg got destroyed before Lucifer came out, he would die and his whole power would disperse and couldn't be used anymore.

Even with all the Princes of Hell's help, it wasn't enough, and so all the Dukes and the Kings of Hell came forth to help. They all used everything they got to bring Lucifer back, but again, it wasn't enough and the World Egg was on the brink of breaking.

"All of you! Sacrifice yourself and use your soul to empower us!" Lilith shouted as she looked at all the demons behind her.

Hundreds of thousands of demons sacrificed themselves and their souls into Lilith's and the others' bodies. They transferred their souls into energy, and that was when something came out of the World Egg before the egg exploded.

Everyone fell to the ground because of the strong blast from the World Egg that some of them suffered heavy injuries. They slowly opened their eyes and saw a man with long white hair with long and soft white feather wings on his back. He had a white mist to cover his body and then turned into a robe with pieces of clothes floating around his twelve wings and neck down to his feet.

"Lucifer?" Lilith asked weakly as she stood up and looked at the man in front of her.

The man turned around and she had a third vertical eye in the middle of his forehead. The eye was bright yellow and it looked around as his two other eyes looked at Lilith without showing any expression.

"Yes, I'm still Lucifer, The Lord of Sempiternal," Lucifer answered as his third eye closed and disappeared from his forehead.

Everyone was watching him walk past them and he was looking at the dead bodies in front of him. The moment he realized his right hand, all the demons who had sacrificed themselves came back to life. It shocked Lilith and the others that it should be impossible even for any Princes of Hell to bring that many with just a single lift of a hand.

Everyone looked at Lucifer and he looked totally different from the others, and he was different from his previous Angelic form. He looked like he wasn't reborn, he was born into a new entity that was beyond the Archangels, perhaps close to The Lord himself.

"The preparation is complete," Lucifer said as he looked up. "The army of Angels is on their way down to Earth, but we still have one thing to do," Lucifer added as his third eye suddenly glared and moved around. "I found you, Sasha," Lucifer smiled as his third eye trembled in excitement.
