Monarch Of Darkness, Arsene

"Let's go, Aswin," Zariel commanded, walking into the Scar of Heaven's End before turning back to me. " Keep the Kid. Don't look at me like that. I'll be back for him in a few days your time. I'll return your spear then."

"I'm going to get your kid to call me daddy!"

He smirked. "You can try, and we'll see how I get your daughter to hate you. Perhaps her first words will be my name, uncle Zari."

Flicking off my little brother as he laughed, stepping inside with Aswin and Izavith, I sighed, somewhat envious as Little Jin sat like a little lamb between my wife's rack.

"I need to go to Noctem. I don't feel comfortable mending my injuries on Ilutath," I said to Lilith as she nodded. "I'll have Layla, Victoria, and Freya take command of my Iluthath base."

Lilith looked at me for a while without a word, and I frowned, noticing her eyes weren't on me but rather on the fragmented chaos I'd caused, slowly trying to mend.

"Your aura is intertwined in this chaos, Sene. Your sins." She looked at me, her frown growing increasingly deeper. " What do you know about the Seven Sins you corrupted?"

What did I know… "Honestly, while it was stronger than normal sins, they acted the same. I've been trying to wrap my head around it for cycles, but nothing."

"Well, I don't know either."

"But don't you have infinite knowledge?" I questioned, noticing little Jin getting a bit too compy between my wife's breasts.

Those are mine, brat!

"By the way, looking nice! Did I tell you that?"

Lilith peered right through me and covered little Jin's eyes, "why are you getting hard?"

"The little guy has a mind of its own. Trying to control my cock is the same as trying not to breathe. It's going to happen."

She giggled, "maybe later we can experiment with the Abyssal Sins… I'm sure they'll have a most wonderful… effect," she whispered to me in an alluring voice.

…

…

Arriving at my palace in Nocturne, two doctors began bandaging my entire body.

I didn't know when it happened, but Mephisto wasn't using his illusions on me anymore. I could change at will between my abyssal form. Although I started liking that form, the wings are annoying though.

Sharla, the young Shade, was quite a dashing woman, with long ashen hair and beautiful grayish skin. Her eyes were a burning gold color, with two horns protruding from just above her pointed ears.

The other one was an old bag apprenticing dare old Sharla.

Shades in Noctem was a dying breed. They were entities of chaos and darkness formed by Tenebrae. But with a lifespan of ten years. If they don't become gods in the ten years where they must learn to read and right, as well as maneuver the eccentricities of Nocturne, they're dead. Missing a day of cultivation is the same as missing ten years to a Shade.

"My King," said the old bag of bones. "Your injuries are quite severe. The arm is crippled… even if you cut it off, it'll grow back with the same level of injuries. At the same time, your internals seemed to be deteriorating at a quick rate."

"Sharla, how old are you?"

"My King," said the old woman frowning.

"Shhhh."

"Two cycles, my Lord." She replied, lowering her hair that free fell over her face to mask her appearance.

A light hum escaped as I noted the fear in her tone. Despite her voice being even… I could feel the fear ebbing near the heart.

Was I such a monster?

"Keep it in your pants, Sene," Lilith mentioned but drew close. Not to me but to Sharla as she smiled. " You are quite cute."

"It's my first time seeing a shade too. Are they all this attractive?"

"Milord… your injuries." The old bat moaned, holding herself up with a cane.

I'm a chaos cycle old, but what the hell? What is the point of being old or middle age? You're all God's! Be young! Live to your heart's content!

"Yes-Yes. They'll heal and worry not. Prescribe me some painkillers and something to slow this… radiation. And Lilith, where is Jin?"

"Oh, he fell asleep. I've got a few generals guarding him… he's so cute, huh? I just want to steal him away! Oh, and did you ever tell your parents I'm pregnant?"

"Ooops!"

"Sene, you are the most irresponsible person I know to date. Bet you handed all the work to Karr."

" I take offense to that. It's called delegating work. As King, it is my right." I paused and narrowed my eyes. "Plus... my injuries give me time to help manage the army that will be raiding hell. You, there, Sharla."

"Yes, my king?"

"Send out a decree. I want all Shades taken in my imperial house. They'll be trained, and should they live, they'll be transformed into Shadowfell."

"Karr," I said, knowing he was listening. " I'm sending you a full overview of being a Shadowfell. I want this info released to the public."

"Yes, Milord." They all shouted.

They vanished, leaving only the old woman who was staring… I really wanted to ask. I truly did, but I don't care enough. It's none of my business why she prefers being old.

"Thanks for the touch-ups," I said to the old woman, who bowed.

" I'll send tea to your room to help heighten your…senses and help heal your injuries.

Noticing Lil Arsene at attention, even Lilith blushed in shame. Running out of the room as I chase with a confident smile.

"Lili, come back! We need to test the sins! I need my wifey."

"You're a damn fool," Lily praised. " you better get her. I need to see how my protege turned out."

Your still here? I thought you left with Zariel!"

"I'm here for life! Me and you against the world. Lily and Arsene, The Monarchs of Darkness."

I need my kids to get rid of her! Gods… wait, so does that mean that Zax was with Crowe and them when I heard them talk?

Ahhhhh, stop thinking of nonsense. It's time for booty and to learn about the Abyssal Sins.
