(Ch.2 Act.11) Royal Meeting
Y/N: You're the king of Hell?
Lucifer: That is right.
Y/N: Lucifer Morningstar the father of Charlie Morningstar. She has a portrait of you and your wife... well I'm assuming that's your wife. At the Hotel.
Lucifer: I'm glad to hear that she keeps those photos.
Y/N: Anyway what do you want? Given that you're the king you must have something very important to tell me.
Lucifer: Right to the point. Not that it bothers me it just shows you waste no time.
Y/N: Mostly cause I want to get back with-
Lucifer: The others? Your friends, your family, and to enjoy your victory with your woman there. Pointing at Loona. Y/N gets in front of Loona. Having his hand close to his sword ready to pull it out. Protective... that's always nice to see. I'm rather protective of my dear Lilith so I can understand why you're trying to protect her.
Y/N: *Threat Level Hell* Just get on with it.
Loona (in mind): Stop being rude please...
Lucifer: There is a test I put for all the incoming Sinners here in Hell. You Y/N... Y/N is surprised that he knows his name. Still possess your humanity yet you haven't consumed nor rejected the demon essence within you.
Y/N: Demon essence? Wait Valentino was telling me something like that.
Lucifer: Yes I'm aware and I'm also aware that you don't know what you really are right now.
Y/N: What?
Lucifer: Maybe this book here will give you some ideas. Tosses him a book. It was labeled "Ritual guides 101". Go to page 68.
Y/N: Turns the to page 68. "Demon blood rituals"... He feels as if his heart is sinking.
Lucifer: Tell me when you first entered that city. Who was the only person by your side...? Or demon I should say.
Y/N: No... Slowly turns his head to Loona. She has her head and ears down. Loona do... do you know about this?
Loona: ......
Lucifer: Go ahead and read it.
Y/N: "For those who desire the power of the damned. One must first get in contact with the damned soul, one that is completely compatible with one's own psyché. If the damned sees you fit, request...the..." His eyes widen as he read the instructions. This couldn't be what had happened, but it was there as clear as day. "The blood of the damned. If given, inject the blood into yourself at a slow pace. If done correctly, thy body will slowly obtain the power of the damned. Strength shall be yours, your mind will become more sharper, and your person will become untouchable.." He felt a small burn heating his heart as he read those words. "But be warned. If thy body rejects the demon essence, your life will become forfeit and your soul will be shattered. If done correctly, you must face a trial of the soul. Once the time is right, face the damned within yourself, and reject thy humanity. If done...then...thy soul will consume the damned's essence. The greatest sin will be made, and in turn, thy will be rejected by the anointed and the neutral. Thy will...lose the ability of choice.. forever branded as demon. Forever trapped in hell. And thy soul will... shatter through death..."
Y/N (in mind): Dropping the book. What the fuck... did you knew about this?
Vesta: I just thought it would be best not to tell you.
Y/N: No... no... no... no... Loona this can't be true right...?
Loona: ..... Gripping onto her right arm.
Y/N: Please... I don't care if it's true I just want to know. I won't get upset... please...
Loona: What else was I supposed to do? Finally spoke. Her voice was silent and shaky. There were no hospitals with any blood bags available. I... you saved me and... I wanted to pay you back... I'm... I'm so sorry...
Y/N (in mind): This whole time... she killed me... and I didn't know...
Y/N: Alastor did you know about this?
Alastor: Of course I've known! I've known since the moment we met. I just had to test my theory by having that bout outside the Hotel. Once I proved my theory was right I knew it would be very interesting to see what you would do if you found out. Haha... I must say your reaction now is exactly what I hoped for. It got even better when you found out who killed you.
Y/N: *To Lucifer* Why are you showing me all this?
Lucifer: It would be best for you to be more aware of your condition. Asides the test... you still haven't completed it yet. I'll be giving you a chance to quickly complete it. If you make the right decision then we may have more to discuss but if you fail you'll leave.
Y/N (in mind): I never really cared about what I am. Damnit I really wished I never knew about this.
Vesta: Y/N you know what must be done now. Come in.
Y/N's head
Y/N: This is a bit anti climatic since well... the essence revealed to be the corpse that's tied up. You've already killed him.
Vesta: Sorry for trying to protect your mind. And sorry for having this be a little boring *to readers*
Y/N: It's fine. So I just have to consume it?
Vesta: Or reject it.
Y/N: *to himself* I could get a lot of strength from absorbing it. But is that what Lucifer wants me to do? Then again looking back... all the Sinners down here don't look so human meaning that they must've accepted the demon essence. Because of it they turned into monsters and probably more of a scumbag than they were before. What if I were to turn more horrible if I absorb it? Hmmm... *potential outcomes* *Absorb the essence gain +50% on stats, suits, and weapons* *Gain new suits and weapons to create* *Possibly pass the test* * Don't absorb the essence* *Possibly pass the test* *????*
Y/N: Hmmm... alright I think I made my decision.
Vesta: What will it be?
Y/N: Placing his hand on the corpse. I reject it. He squished the head into paste. Then the entire body and remains turns into dust. The small dust particles formed into an orb. Eh?
Vesta: There's the real demon essence.
Y/N: Ok... Pulls out his revolver. Again I reject this. *bang* As the bullet pierced through the orb it shattered like glass. Thinking that it would fade away the shards glowed very bright forcing Y/N to cover his eyes.
Up in the Clouds
Y/N: Haaaa... Finally coming to he finds himself being held down by Alastor's tentacles as they push him down forcing him on his knees. What's happening?
Alastor: Oh you're back? That was quick.
Y/N: Can you please drop the tentacles? Alastor frees Y/N. Thanks... why was I pinned down?
Alastor: You attempted to kill me.
Y/N: Wha?
Lucifer: Usually the Sinner's body will be alone during the test. But what the body does it goes on a killing spree while the person deals with the essence in their mind.
Y/N: Oh sorry...
Loona: Did you do it? Did you absorbed the essence?
Y/N: I rejected it.
Loona: What?! Why?!
Y/N: I'm already as tough as I am now. Asides I didn't want to risk having a new body and becoming a scumbag.
Loona: Well... yeah I guess you're right. Couldn't imagine you being a demon.
Lucifer: 👏👏👏👏 They turn to see the king slowly clapping. He seems impressed. You've made the right decision. You have passed.
Y/N & Loona: What?
Y/N: But all I did was shot demon version of me and shot this orb that appeared when he died.
Lucifer: You see, killing your demon is one thing, but what you do with the remains is another. Do you consume their power, their morals, and lose your own sense of self, inevitably turning into what you fought against, or do you learn from your demons, better one's self, and in turn protect your humanity? That is the test a test that everyone would constantly fail all except for you.
Y/N (in mind): Wait is he serious? I can't be the only person that passed right? *Stats increase 50%* *Suits, weapons, and elements increase 50%* Oh would you look at that.
Y/N: So everyone failed this test? Lucifer nods. Even Valentino, Vox, and Velvet?
Lucifer: Hmmm...? Raising his eyebrow wasn't expecting that question. Oh right those three. I've heard about your bout with them. You see those three have been making a lot of money and good services-
Y/N: Aren't you married?
Lucifer: Who said I was sleeping with another woman? I would never sleep with another woman other than my Lilith. But as I was saying... they provide good services but I have been noticing of how poorly they've been treating their employees and each other. There is this proposition for you involving them. But first I would like to see how well you do in combat. Removing his hat and coat giving them to Alastor's shadow to carry. He pulls out a flaming sword.
Y/N: Wait no hell no! There is no way I'm fighting you.
Lucifer: I'm afraid you don't have much of a choice in that manner.
Y/N: Ok but can I make some modifications to my suit real quick?
Lucifer: I'll give you 10 minutes.
Y/N: Thank you. Grabbing his swords. A blue screen pops out from his core and he begins typing.
Loona: Planning a way to get out?
Y/N: Nope just adding some upgrades that could possibly help me in this fight. *Upgrade complete* *Three sword style unlocked* *Combination swords unlocked* Ok done.
Lucifer: Let's have a change of scenery. *snap* With a snap of his fingers they're taken up high into a mountain. The time sun was setting. In the middle of the mountain lies a giant red Japanese gate. The area around is wide. It contains some tombstones and there is a pathway through the gate leading to a cave from the back and front side of the gate. This seems like a good location to test you.
Y/N: Ok... Pulling both of his swords out holding them in each hand.
Lucifer: Alastor be sure to protect the Hellhound so she won't be collateral damage.
Alastor: Yes your majesty. Goes to the cave in front of the gate. Come Loona.
Loona: Be careful Y/N.
Y/N: I'll be fin- Last second he managed to move his head to the left dodging Lucifer's quick thrust attack.
Lucifer: Good reflex.
Y/N (in mind): So quick...! He swings both his blades horizontally at Lucifer. Lucifer jumps over Y/N. He then charges downward at Y/N crash landing at him. Jumping out of the crash Lucifer charges at him swinging his sword at Y/N. Y/N blocks the attack. How fast is this guy?! Lighting comes crashing down onto Y/N. Lucifer jumped back dodging the lighting strike. Y/N quickly grabs another sword and holds it in his mouth. Having the electricity flow in his blades he thrust forward charging with quick speed at Lucifer. Lucifer blocks the thrust attack. Y/N then turned his head to the left swinging his blade. Lucifer backs away ducking backwards dodging the attack. The attack hit the red gate heavily damaging the legs. One more heavy hit could cause it to collapse. Y/N then turns around swinging all three of his blades downwards. Lucifer blocks all three of Y/N's blades. He's so much stronger than Valentino...
Lucifer: Not bad... but not good enough to kill a Fallen Angel.
Y/N: Wait wha-?! A snake came out of Lucifer's right arm biting Y/N's left arm. *zap* The snake was electrified when coming to contact to Y/N.
Lucifer: My snake! The serpent pulls back.
Y/N: Backing away. Thankfully my "Zapper armor" was on. It mostly harm little things like that. Comes in handy including with those mosquitoes. As for the poison injected in me. Grabs a needle and stabbing his left arm. The needle sucked out the venom. There should be none in me now. Putting the needle away.
Lucifer: You have a safety pro caution for everything don't you?
Y/N: Doesn't hurt to be careful.
Lucifer: Well do you have a safety pro caution for this? White feathered wings burst out of his back. He flies up as he's up in the air some feathers fall.
Y/N: Oh right... you were an Angel till you led that rebellion against your father.
Lucifer: Most forget what I am. Tell me will that zapper armor protect you against feathers?
Y/N: Huh? Ow! Received a small cut. *Danger avoid contact* Scanning the feathers falling they're razor sharp. He looks up seeing Lucifer's wings glow bright. Ah great... Feathers were shot down towards Y/N. He dashes underneath the gate dodging the incoming feathers. Ok time to use this. The sword on his left hand. The blade shifts to the left including the handle. The sword on his right hand. The blade shifts to the right including the handle. The sword on his mouth stays the same. He grabbed the three blades and fused them together into a single blade. There now to get up there.
Y/N (in mind): Hopefully this plan will work. And hopefully it's enough to beat him. Then again it's the devil and the difficulty is Hell so... you know what fuck it. He jumps up high avoiding the falling feathers. He reaches up to Lucifer. He swings his sword at him.
Lucifer: Blocking the attack. Given you're a tech person I thought you would be smarter than to go for such an assault like this.
Y/N: Hmph! They both swung their blades at each other mid air colliding their attacks. Y/N swung to the left Lucifer swung to the right, Lucifer swung upwards Y/N swung downwards, Lucifer swung to the right Y/N swung to the left, then finally Lucifer swung downwards and Y/N swung upwards.
Y/N (in mind): Now! His sword disembark from each other acting as if they broke on impact. Lucifer thrust downward to Y/N's chest. Y/N managed to grab his sheet and use it as a shield to block the blade from reaching his chest. Lucifer pushed Y/N down crashing to the ground. Phew... a second less then he would've pierced me with that blade of his.
Lucifer: Seems I've overestimated you.
Y/N: Oh no keep doing that. Asides... The three blades lands around them in a triangular area. One blade behind Lucifer, one in the north east side to him and the other north west side. I got you just where I want you. 😁
Lucifer: Huh? 🤨 The three blades created an electric field. Those inside the field were Y/N and Lucifer. Rererererere!!! He's being electrocuted.
Y/N: Grabbing his sheet he uses the electricity around him to create an electric blade. Then he slashes through Lucifer. He puts his sheet away.
Lucifer: The blades from the north east and west side flies towards Y/N slicing through Lucifer as well. Y/N catches his blades back into his arms and mouth. A scar formed on his chest and blood spewed out of it. He touched his wound only to flinch as he felt the pain flowing within him. Hehe... hehe... hehehehe... Hahahahahaha... outstanding! Y/N was taken back from this. He was laughing about his injury. It's been a good while since I was damaged like this. He felt alive. I knew you would be the one! Being capable of dodging, attacking, and wounding me like this. Yes, you are the one indeed.
Y/N: Huh? Lucifer charges at Y/N to fast for him to react. Lucifer slammed Y/N to the ground placing his right hand on his chest. A light glowed on his chest. Y/N didn't felt damaged but he felt better than before. *Stats increased 100%* *Item acquired "Unknown"* Lucifer let's Y/N go. Y/N gets back up. What was that?
Lucifer: You have been accepted.
Y/N: Into what?
Lucifer: Regenerating from his injury. You have shown great power, strategic intelligence, and cunning. You even kept your humanity something that most down here haven't kept. So I dubbed thee Y/N Heisenberg you shall become an Overlord of Pentagram City and a new member of the Ars Goetia.
Y/N: Eh?
Loona (in mind): No fucking way...
Y/N: Who are the Ars Goetia?
Lucifer: They rank higher than Overlords. They're a powerful royal family.
Y/N: But why?
Lucifer: You'll be facing a lot of difficulties some of which you may have to choose to make a very difficult decision. You must raise your reputation and power as soon as possible.
Y/N: What's gonna be coming for me?
Lucifer: You'll find out soon enough. Oh and you'll be in charge of the Porn Studio.
Y/N: Wait what?!
Lucifer: Sex is the main thing down here. And that profit does help me quite well. You can run it however you see fit just try to make a good amount of wealth for me ok? You also don't have to worry about the Three V they'll be under your command. Do with them as you see fit just try not to kill them.
Y/N: Real quick Boris failed too right? That Russian guy that works for the Three V.
Lucifer: Wasn't expecting that question. Oh yes that man. He's a rather very troubled soul. It may not seem like it but he does look up to you.
Y/N: Wait he does?
Lucifer: Like your bird try talking to him.
Y/N: ok....
Lucifer: If you wish to know more of the Ars Goetia I'm sure your "killer" will tell you more about them.
Y/N: Alright and thanks your majesty.
Lucifer: Alastor's shadow helps Lucifer put his coat and hat back on. Good luck Metal Gear. He teleports away.
Alastor: This was quite the unexpected possibility.
Y/N: Was this your deal Alastor?
Alastor: Sort of... I wanted to see how you would prove me wrong.
Y/N: Prove you wrong?
Alastor: I've seen individuals like you. When I saw you I wondered "Will you beat your inner demon"? "Will you consume the essence or reject it"? I assumed that you would consumed it like most do. But as I hoped you rejected it. I was rooting for you to succeed. I'm aware that I don't show it much but I do care for everyone at the hotel. I just wanted to see you save our little spider and as I hoped you succeed. You helped someone knowing that you wouldn't gain anything in return. I'm happy to know that you survived that fight with Valentino and gave him a good beating.
Y/N: ..... He wasn't sure if he was serious. Was Alastor joking or did he meant it? Was Alastor just the type to show tough love or was he just an asshole?
Alastor: Now then Y/N... Grinning large. Smile my dear friend. You're never fully dressed without one!
Y/N: Letting out a smile. Thanks Alastor. Guess you really just a nice guy after all.
Alastor: Of course I am! Now then I must be off and so must you. I believe you and your Hellhound have much to discuss about. He teleports everyone back to his Radio station. He left the station leaving Y/N and Loona alone.
Y/N (in mind): I definitely got a lot of explaining to do. But first... facing Loona. This isn't gonna be easy...
Y/N: So...
Loona: ..... Her head and ears are down.
Y/N: You killed me?
A/N: Just gonna end it here hope y'all enjoy this, Happy Easter to you all, and see y'all in the next chapter!
