Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

Chapter 360: Yggdrasil - The Year Night Fell



Chapter 360: Yggdrasil - The Year Night Fell

"You believe this was wise?" I asked, glancing to Areon, who in turn nodded with a heavy heart.

"I know I am putting you in a heavy position, but I oddly enough have some faith in that little devil." He strangely said, even though all the evidence told a different story.

No matter how one dressed it up, Arsene was a depraved, sadistic monster that plagued both the weak and strong. None were safe if he placed eyes upon them. He did not need a reason like most monsters. He just enjoyed tearing life away.

"I don\'t have much say concerning who is chosen, but if I were a gambling woman, I would place our hope in Arsene and Lilith. However, if I were you, I would go after Lilith. She is not insane like Arsene."

Receiving a rare smile from the Lord of Destruction and Chaos, my body returned to its chibi version, allowing me to save and control my power better.

"Zelos said the same. Now, what will you do with her?" He asked, pointing towards Ashna, quivering on her knees upon the barren ground, scarred by the kindling of the First Flame of Hell. It was tragic, but nothing will ever grow here again. Even with my power, it would take over five hundred Dao cycles to return life where it was once lost.

"Ransom, of course, I hear her Rience and her were fuck buddies before she fell from grace, and he grew in status. I see no reason things would change now." I joyful replied, feeling the endless money that would follow. "We can give the proceed to Arsene. When he enters another realm."

Twitching his eye, Areon shook his head, "I see nothing has changed." He amusingly muttered, "But allow me. I will handle Rience; I want you to handle the starships. As one of the founders, I order you to slaughter every last spec of life that surrounds your Realm. Leave nothing!"

"By your will," I bowed to say.

Nodding, Ashna and Areon vanished from my presence as I made my way outside my Realm. Releasing a breath of air, I stared at the endless ships that hovered around my domain. Turning back to the massive tree that held Nine Realms in place at each branch, I arched my lips. This was me, or more specifically, a branch that no one knew about. It had almost cost me my life, but it was worth it to be free.

"Are you checking out yourself?" Hela asked, arriving by my side instantly. Carrying a graceful emerald flame around her body. she smiled, with two large horns upon her head, "And you didn\'t call me?"

Returning to my adult appearance, I nodded, "Yes, it\'s time. I believe you need souls correct to regain balance? All the lives here will help, right?."

Licking her cherry black lips, Hela grinned, "My, My, someone is in a joyful mood. I had only seen such a smile when the First Odin died. To think I would see you like so."

Rolling my eye to one of the few gods as old as I am, I nodded. "I am actually, but in a few years, Arsene will return. So I will leave the Starships here to you. We have been authorized by Areon to kill everything."

"He was here?" Hela questioned with radiant eyes that glittered brighter than the endless glows of each starship sucking qi from the air.

"Was," I said, fading away, "I will leave the rest to you. You know I don\'t like killing."

"Thanks for the gift, then." Said Hela as I appeared within my own domain, where the rainbow-colored bridge crossed. Looking down at my throne crafted by my very bones. I took a seat gazing at the Bifrost that ran endlessly within the void of darkness. It was all brightly lit and consumed with stars. In contrast, the very vast expanse around me was filled with endless colors, many within their lives would never see. Stars, worlds, galaxies, black holes, I could see it all, and it was grand!

Tapping my fingers against my armrest, hundreds of images appeared, all pertaining to various people like Greyson, Elsa, Victoria, and all of the gods that seemed important. But my real focus had remained on Greyson Snow.

He was the leader, now with Arsene\'s mysterious disappearance. It was hard to believe his little brother Eroma was an idiot. I genuinely feel sorry for Elsa and Victoria if they could see Falis now. The innocent young boy was slowly beginning to be corrupted by this lustful beast.

Shutting off the images, I sighed, "How much longer shall he be?" I asked, knowing an answer would not come.

Letting the days endlessly trickle by, I remained still, relaxing casually watching Greyson spread destruction upon the other Realms. Starting with the Elves, where Olivia had her people resided, his armies soon began to run rampant. Like Arsene, he too was seemingly unstoppable, especially with no god daring to join.

War was now within all the realms. And Leading each charge was Salazar and a pink-headed girl carrying an innocent expression. She was far different from the other abyssal children; this one reminded me of that blasted devil Zanris. Except she did not act childish, but rather innocent. However, upon the battlefield, I held no words for the amount of death she brought. There were many names she obtained from her time. One I particularly enjoyed was the Ashen Kings Bride or Daughter. I swear the number of theories regarding the little girl was quite enjoyable to watch.

Although there was one group Grey never bothered to provoke, and they were the Gaint who what remained docile since Freya had formed a treaty with Vicvictus. I had not bothered to watch everything but there had been an understanding that they would be at peace unless they attacked.

"Ygg, are you still watching?" Levi-Chan suddenly called, lifting me into her envious bosom that was soft to the touch reminding me a bit of pudding by the way they jiggled and felt. Eying them heavily, I gave a firm grip.

"Are you pregnant again? They look bigger than usual." I asked, gripping them firmly with an imposing expression.

"Hehe, Asmo got so jealous; he truly let me have it this time. I swear I was pregnant after we were done," She joyfully sang, drooling from her lips. "He won the battle and the war this time."

Twitching my brow, I immediately pushed myself out of her embrace. Damn it! Now I need to take a shower!

"how long has it been?" She asked as I pouted.

"No idea," I slightly told, "You know years pass so quickly we lose—"

Pausing mid-sentence, our eyes widen as our mouths closed. It had descended. Tenebrae\'s grace had appeared within my Realm once more. Watching the very concept of light vanish, leaving only darkness, a single star fell from the heavens. Shooting towards my Realm, all that I saw within my domain turned black, leaving only it.

"What... what is that?" Levitan solemnly inquired, shifting her azure eye towards an image of Midgard where the star was falling.

Gulping down, I hastily spoke before she did something impulsive, "Wait here! I will check it out."

However, as I tried to teleport, my eyes widened in shock as Levitan turned to me, horrified by what was going on.

"Can you?"

Shaking her head, we turned to the star speeding towards an extensive canyon belonging to a tribe of Giants. Striking Midgard violently, the lands exploded into a mushroom cloud of destruction, sending tremors throughout the Realm when our eyes widened as a familiar presence began to radiate from Tenebrae\'s presence.

"That... That\'s not Tenebrae\'s Aura. It\'s different." Levi-Chan grimly declared, in a way that sounded like such a thing was impossible, "What the hell happened? Who is this?"

Widening the image, I felt my soul shake as a dense black light began to fade, leaving a young man with black and Ashen hair intertwining with one another. He was attractive, far more handsome than he was before. However, I felt I had insulted him to even describe him to be Handsome.

It was as if I had sinned speaking such words. The man lying bare upon a bed of darkness was perfect. Whether it was his skin, bone structure, aura, or appearance, all just screamed perfection.

"Arsene Snow has returned."
