I'm The Devil

Inside Aphrodite's Domain

Chirping sounds for birds filled everywhere, fine roses dance along with the wind, a bright light that shone into the garden from the sunlight, this is the definition of a romantic atmosphere.

Inside the garden, Aphrodite and Bixia were in a staring contest and none of them wants to back out.

"So when are you going to kill me?" Bixia asked Aphrodite the inevitable question.

A frown appeared on the face of Aphrodite when she heard that "what makes you think that I would want to kill you? Who even gave you the idea that I would want to kill you?" Aphrodite asked Bixia.

"So you are not going to kill me?"

"Who said I wouldn't kill you?"

Hearing the reply from Aphrodite, Bixia was confused as to what was even going on, what was Aphrodite playing at, does she want to mess with her before killing her off.

Seeing the confusing and contemplative look on Bixia's face, Aphrodite smiled before coughing to get her attention "you see, your life and death lays in the hands of that Shangdi guy and whoever that woman is, whatever they chose will either save your life or end it and since Lucifer is a wildcard and don't play by the rules, I don't guarantee that either of them is going to survive which would also spell your doom and as for me, I'm just holding you here until they sort everything out there"

Hearing the word of Aphrodite, Bixia became worried, not for her safety but for her Shangdi and Nuwa because the moment they die, everything dies with them as there can be no Realm without a ruler.

Bixia immediately looked at Aphrodite and decided to use her wits "you know that killing a God king, is spelling your doom as you will be marked the moment you do so. All the entire Realm in the cosmos will be coming for your head because you killed one of them. Now I know that, this Lucifer guy do not belong to any Realm as he is one of this strangers from where we all do not know of but what about you? What about the people you consider a family? They will all be killed to send a warning to the entire Realm telling everyone that an act such as killing a God King or aiding any of these strangers will not be tolerated. Now do you want your family to be used as a scapegoat or do you want to help us, get this Lucifer guy caught and be punished and you will be handsomely reward by the council of God Kings"

Pfft ~ Haha ~ Haha ~ Haha ~ Haha ~ Haha

The sound of Aphrodite laughing resounded throughout the entire Domain making Bixia to wonder what was funny with what she said.

Haha ~ Haha ~ Haha ~ Haha ~ Haha

Aphrodite continued laughing and even forgot that she was with someone else. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Bixia was getting irritated by Aphrodite's laughter that she stomped her foot to the ground causing a large earthquake in the entire Domain.

Aphrodite stopped laughing and stared daggers at Bixia "why did you do that?"

"Why were you laughing back then?"

Bixia also questioned back.

Aphrodite frowned at the way Bixia was playing with her but she will have to be the bigger person and let it slide "you were funny, the joke you said earlier thinking it was a threat, that's what was funny. Now don't do that ever again unless you want your head rolling on the ground and now that's a threat" said Aphrodite while glaring at Bixia which terrified her greatly.

No more idea came into the head of Bixia so she just gave up and wait for her fate and don't want to antagonize her captor any further.

Aphrodite smiled when she saw that Bixia has given up, she created a floating bed and just laid on it to while away time.

Realm of Pangu

"do you still want me to leave your Realm?"

Shangdi was covered I'm a puddle of blood, battered and just laying in the crater as if he was hanging on his last thread of life.

"Cat got your tongue?" Hearing no reply from Shangdi, Lucifer once again said "or should I ask your mother? She might be able to give out a reasonable answer"

Lucifer brought out his wings and flew to Nuwa who is riding her Dragon mid - air facing her "so what will your answer be? do you still want me to leave your Realm?" He asked once again.

Nuwa saw the destruction of the realm and the state of her son which was caused by the man before her, she didn't want to anger him any further fearing on what he might do. She decided to compromise for the safety of her son and her realm.

Sighing, Nuwaa said "you can stay, but please no more of this fighting and please even if you can't kill the man who killed my husband, at least just punish him because Pangu at the least deserves that. That's all I ask from you"

Listening to the plead of the woman, Lucifer sighed and agreed to indulge her "you have my word that I will see to it that, the man who killed your husband is punished, now if you will excuse me, I will make myself at home"

After he said that, the ground shook as a new mountain began appearing from the ground, it grew and grew and even surpassed the other mountains of the mother and son pair.

"And now for the finishing touch"

A huge palace appeared on the top of the mountain and it connected with it, creating a huge stairs that lead to the palace from below the mountain.

"I will call this place the Devil's Peak. You can come out now, Aphrodite and you can release the girl now" Lucifer said as he willed his wings out and flew to the peak of the mountain.

When he reached the peak, he found Aphrodite waiting for him to arrive.

"I see you took the peaceful approach, that's really not what I was expecting" Aphrodite said as the y walked into the palace.

"Well, everything was caused because of my brother who I suppose could not control his blade, so being the better man, I decided to broker peace with them as if I were to take action, it would seem like we are bullying the weak and that would ruin my reputation which I don't want. So what about the girl?"

Lucifer explained why he was lenient with them before he asked about Bixia.

Aphrodite just told him that the girl had been returned back to them.

In the throne room of the palace, a little child of about 6 years of age could be seen looking around her until she heard the footsteps of Lucifer and Aphrodite.

When the two lovers saw a child in the newly created palace, they were surprised as to where the child came from.

"Who are you? Who sent you here" Aphrodite immediately asked the child as there is no way she is going to believe that a child could just appear on their home which was just built, this must be a ploy of this gods, they are up to something, heck, the child might not even be a child but some old god trying to play tricks on them.

The child didn't even look at Aphrodite and only focused on Lucifer who she shares a connection to.

Aphrodite was enraged as she was treated like an air by the child, she lost control of herself and attacked the child.

Before her attack could reach the child, the attack was nullified by Lucifer "don't attack her, I think I know what or who she is, she is the human form of the Phoenix who devoured the hell flame and it seems like it was even in her favor as it help her evolved but that also made her a being of Hell, she is now a Dark Phoenix capable of using the only flame that only I can use, the flames of Hell. She is my pet, Aphrodite, a pet of the Devil, the king of Hell" said Lucifer who now know why he felt a connection to the child earlier.

During the confrontation between Shangdi, Nuwa and Lucifer, the Phoenix was going under an evolution after devouring the flames of Hell which prevented it from aiding Shangdi and Nuwa.

After the Phoenix evolved, it could now take on a Hunan form and chose that of a female and after she transformed, she found out that she was still in her childhood stage. She then felt a certain pull drawing her to the newly built Palace where she met her new Master and something resonated within her soul the moment she laid eyes on him.

"How does something like that even possible in the first place?"

Aphrodite was confused about what Lucifer just said.

"I don't know and I don't care but she will need a name and I know just the name that would suit her, Feng Huang, the Phoenix of Hell"
