642 Declaration Of War

“GRAAAAAAHHHHH!!!”
The scream of Beelzebub could be heard all across the Dimension of Hell. His Soul was shattered as a large piece of it was destroyed and taken away. At the same time as his connection with the Demon Tower of Gluttony was cut and the Core of the Tower was destroyed.
“T-This can’t be… Unnggh…! How come… I have… been fooled…” Beelzebub lamented, as his soul went back to the statue of himself dwelling within the Castle of Gluttony, where Asmodeus and his Vampires had sealed him.
The seal was just as strong as ever even after all this time, and Lucifer seemed to have not even been working on fixing it nor freeing them either. With Beelzebub’s only plans to gain power foiled, the other Archdemons across Hell, and even Lucifer, had mixed opinions.
However, the reaction they al equally shared as they sensed Beelzebub’s utter defeat was… shock! Utter shock! There was nothing but shock as they realized the reincarnated Asmodeus once more defeated one of them, and even managed to ally the Holy Spirits, using their divine powers to damage Beelzebub even when he had yet to attain the power to do so himself.
But where there’s tragedy, others find new opportunities. The Archdemons were shocked, angered, and then… overjoyed. With Beelzebub out of the picture, their Towers will now be able to absorb more power from Spiritias and expand their domain further.
It was quite clear that Archdemons were enemies of one another, and they didn’t really fancy each other at all. Seeing another fall was a joyous event for them. However, as they shared a common enemy, they were still rather concerned, and alliances… might surge amidst their desperate attempt at slaying Blake before things could get out of control.
“Beelzebub has been defeated and even a piece of his soul was taken away?! What a loser! I guess we won’t be needing him any longer, hahaha!” Laughed Leviathan, the Archdemon of Envy.
“It is a rather interesting occasion… Though, to think that Asmodeus has grown this strong already…” Spoke Lilith, the Archdemon of Lust. “Hmmm~ I would like to meet this young man myself… And DEVOUR him.”
“Yawn… What a pain, as if being sealed wasn’t enough.” Sighed Belphegor, the Archdemon of Sloth. “Though that Asmodeus… he’s getting too strong.”
“A surely intriguing and interesting development for sure. Beelzebub will not be missed.” Said Mammon, the Archdemon of Greed. “Now, who will take over his territory though? Kehehehe…”
“ASMODEUS! KILL! I WILL TAKE HIS HEAD OFF AND STICK IT TO A PIKE! I WILL TAKE OVER THAT WORLD! SPIRITAS SHALL BE MINEEEEE!!!” Satan roared; the Archdemon of Wrath was as wrathful as ever. “LUCIFER! FREE US FROM THIS SEAL AT ONCE!”
“You’re all so loud.” Lucifer sighed; he was the King of Pride himself. “I am not going to unseal you guys, you’re annoying bastards, you’re better off sealed.”
“WHAT?! UNSEAL ME COWARD!” Satan roared.
“Honey please!” Lilith cried. “Don’t you remember the good times we had back then~?”
Lilith used to be Lucifer’s wife, and with his seed she gave birth to the Incubus and Succubus of Hell, who govern her Layer of Lust. However, Lucifer had no interest in her for the last two hundred million years.
“You’ve gotten boring, Lilith.” Sighed Lucifer. “I’ve learned that’s more fun to see someone struggle to the very end… Asmodeus, you might have achieved something superb, I know you think so… But let me tell you this is just the beginning.”
Lucifer was as greedy as always… however, his cocky smile disappeared in a second as he sensed the presence of an alien entity infiltrating his very Dimension.
It was nobody else than the presence of the twelve Holy Spirits!
FLAAAASH!
“W-What the…?! Impossible!”
Their presences emerged right in front of him, glaring at him with judgmental eyes. Lucifer was scared, something like this had never happened before after all.
“You’re the King of the Demons, Lucifer?”
“He does seems to be that.”
“He appears to be rather disappointing on looks alone.”
“I expected something… more… you know, more demonic? He looks like a plain human.”
“T-Tch! Did you expected THIS FORM?!”
Lucifer suddenly transformed into a gigantic, abhorrent demonic titan with countless heads, tails, arms, and legs, it was hard to tell where his body began and where it ended!
“Now why are you here?! How did you infiltrate my domain?! And… do you truly expect me to let you go after meeting you face-to-face?!” Lucifer laughed, stretching his claws, and reaching a Holy Spirit, crushing it.
CRAAAASH!
The Holy Spirit exploded into particles of light.
“Hahaha, so frail! You fools! Your arrival here has only made my work easier- Huh?” However, Lucifer quickly realized it wasn’t them at all, just projections made by… Beelzebub.
But how? These projections of demonic light made to look and resemble the Holy Spirits, which even connected to their thoughts were summoned by Beelzebub himself?! Why would he ever do this?
“T-This… What is going on?” Lucifer was shocked. “Beelzebub! What are you doing?”
“Beelzebub is sleeping right now, Lucifer.” Asmodeus voice spoke through the Holy Spirits projections.
“A-Asmodeus?!” Asked Lucifer.
It was the boy Blake, it was Asmodeus!
“I’ve come here to give you a brief visit, Lucifer.” Said Asmodeus. “Because I am sure you… and the rest of your dearest Archdemons are present here. I and all the Holy Spirits would like to declare war upon you all, this means Hell itself.”
“T-That’s… Heh, hahaha…!” Lucifer suddenly began to laugh.
“AAHAHAHHAHA! BOLD BASTARDS!” Satan laughed.
“Grahahahaha! Not bad!” Leviathan mocked them.
“Fufufu~ What a pitiful struggle~” Lilith giggled.
“Yawn… So lame.” Belphegor yawned.
“Heheh… Kehehehe! Interesting! Very interesting! My profits might soon rise a lot!” Mammon laughed evilly.
As the laughter of the Archdemons surrounded them all, Asmodeus continued glancing at Lucifer’s eyes with an expressionless face.
