Mhhh…

You would expect the continuation of Bably's situation from this chapter, wouldn't you?

Well, too bad, I'll touch on another topic, because yes, reader, both you and the author abandoned me like the crawling rats that you are…

You wouldn't have anything to do with this… But I took it out on you anyway, and you swallow it anyway.

Anyway, let's start with… the results of my brothers' battle against the mamono militia stationed on the outskirts of the Kau Lid territory.

I know this breaks the narrative line or whatever the hell this story is, but I'm not in the mood right now, I'm really pissed off at you two.

Getting back to the subject…

His eyes open slowly, waking up slowly.

He tries to move, but feels that his movements are limited, not because of his drowsiness, but because something else restricts him, so, when he opens his eyes completely, he notices that both his arms and his wrists and legs are tied firmly and tightly with chains.

He looks around, seeing how he is inside a cage, along with other of his cupid brothers of hatred, they are in the same state, some unconscious, others awake.

He hears the sounds of engines and moving vehicles, so he turns his head, seeing that his cage is being loaded by a large truck that fills 2 more cages, being escorted by other vehicles, which carry other cages, troops or wounded, and resources.

Having seen this, he turns his gaze to the one in front of him, an apsara of hatred, who looks with a false smile at her surroundings.

"Hey you" He calls to the apsara, quickly capturing her attention "Do you know about the results of the battle?"

The Apsara of Hate remains silent, looking at him in silence, before glancing at her surroundings, then looking at him again.

"I think my words are unnecessary, what can be seen at first sight" She jokes, smiling sideways.

He frowns more, annoyed by his sister of hate's response. She consequently sighs.

"From what I managed to see, we have won the conflict, however, despite the initial surprise, the aliens soon brought heavy and more modern weapons, shooting us down from a distance, additionally, there were much more of them than expected" She explains, through audible murmurs, glancing sideways at her surroundings, making sure the mamono do not hear her.

The cupid arches an eyebrow.

"It sounds like they came out from underground" The cupid comments, receiving a silent laugh in response.

"That's actually what happened" The apsara mentions mockingly "They had arachnid aliens and other beasts in some improvised caves, so they took us by surprise with approximately 3400 more."

The cupid makes a face, disgusted by the results.

"And how long have we been traveling?" The cupid questions, earning a raised eyebrow from the apsara.

"Am I some kind of spy of yours that asks me everything…? I don't know, just a few minutes before you I woke up" She shrugs.

The cupid snorts in frustration, so he looks away.

He can see how the sky, somewhat cloudy, is slowly getting dark, with the sun gradually setting in the distance. But he manages to make out small points, which are approaching them with great speed, so he snorts.

"The Hatredis worshippers are ambushing us, prepare yourselves!" One of the mamono shouts, so the rest of those who can fight pick up their weapons or prepare their spells, while the convoy accelerates its speed.

"In the name of the god of hate, PURGE THE BLASPHEMISTS AND EXTERMINATE THE ALIENS" A war cry with great resentment on top of it resounds throughout the place, while many cupids of hate come out of the lower clouds, or emerge from the occasional trees and large rocks throughout the area.

Many shots come from all sides, catching the mamono disoriented, who were not sure in which direction to counterattack.

However, casualties are not long in coming, and several mamono fall dead to the ground, being left behind by the convoy.

Without much power to do, the surviving mamono begin to defend themselves with magic and the ranged weapons they possess. Due to the cupids' dispersion, it is difficult for them to approach them all, but they manage to take down one or another brother of hatred.

He, who was admiring the scene that was developing, slightly turns his head towards the direction where the mamono are driving, as he feels a strong negative energy there.

And indeed, slight mists were slowly approaching them, apparently trying to be hidden as best as possible.

And by the time they got close enough, a lot of black smoke suddenly appeared, and then the mist dancers showed up, with fake, mocking smiles, and they quickly rushed towards the vehicles.

While there were a few who didn't manage to ambush any of them, most of them were already on top of them, starting to assault the stupefied mamono hand to hand, also managing to take over one or two vehicles and knocking down another.

And speaking of knocking down, he sees one of the apsaras stab one of its daggers into the wheel of the vehicle he's on, followed by using its tail to lift the vehicle enough for it to start flying.

He is stunned by this, but the jolt he gets when the cage starts to land on the ground makes him forget about it.

When they finally get down, he tries to recover from the shock they suffered, but he hears someone violently open the cage, and before he could see who the hell was opening it, someone grab him by the neck and throw him out of it.

He falls to the ground dryly, coughing a little, before looking up, with his brow even more furrowed, seeing another brother of hate approaching him.

"I wouldn't have been upset if you were kinder" He complains, while he sits down in the spot.

"Shut your ass, there's a battle to win" The other cupid silences, while he uses his rifle to shoot at the chain that imprisons his brother, freeing him.

However, when doing so, even among the chaos of the battle, a projectile is heard by both, and before even turning around to see its origin, the liberating brother flies violently to the side, while he instinctively covers himself.

A few seconds later, shocked, he quickly turns to see his brother, now fallen, but not dead, but… Unconscious?

More shots are heard in the distance, seeing that some apsaras and cupids fall before the treacherous attack, so he quickly turns his head…

"HEREEETIIICS!!!"

Observing that the new enemy was none other than the despicable cupids of love of the aberrant aliens, a rage begins to consume him, a primitive instinct that screams at him that the ‘counterpart’ to hatred had to be eradicated.

His scream is heard by his brothers, who look at the large groups of pink angels, and feel the same as him, so they do not hesitate a second longer and go for them, almost leaving aside the mamono who had ambushed in the first place.

He wastes no time and gets up, runs towards his fallen brother and snatches the gun from him, then aims at the many cupids.

An intense battle, where angels from both pantheons fall, either dead or unconscious. The skies turn dark black and light pink, along with the glow of some dark and light colors being thrown at the other.

Many fought for the sky, but also others on the ground, with the mist dancers making life difficult for the blasphemers of love, and even, with the help of their cupid brothers, using them as a boost in the skies to launch themselves against the enemy.

However, due to their deep-rooted instinct, the ambushing mamono take the opportunity to regroup, also gathering as many fallen brothers of hate as they could.

"Are we all here?" Asks a baphomet, looking at the group.

"They are the ones left" Answers a gray-feathered harpy, frowning sadly.

The baphomet sighs, as frustrated as she is discouraged, so she shakes her head.

"Anyway, we must leave now before…"

The baphomet reflexively summons a protective bubble around her, which manages to protect her from the projectile that was aimed at her head, however, the bullet bounces off and kills a werewolf who was helping to carry an aka-oni, causing the rest who were carrying her to fall due to the imbalance.

The baphomet quickly turns to see the attacker, it is none other than the cupid who was chained, looking angrily at them.

His need to want to join his brothers to finish off his ‘sisters’ of love was almost unbearable, however, in response he bites his hand strongly, to the point of almost tearing it off, thus at least distracting himself a little.  And returning to the fight, he can see how the baphomet quickly throws a fairly large fireball at him, so he tries to fold his wings, however, they become paralyzed halfway through doing so, he feels like they are quite numb, so he limits himself to jumping to the side.

He manages to dodge it for the most part, however, the touch of it manages to destabilize him, making him roll a couple of times.

As he stands up, he feels the excitement, pain, numbness, and rage almost combine, driving Cupid mad with the need for revenge, so he turns to see the Baphomet.

But he is forced to turn around to dodge the jinko's swipe, then get up and jump, dodging the grab of a griffin.

When he manages to stabilize, he looks irritated at both mamono, who were preparing to attack him, so he transforms part of his essence and turns it into a charger, replacing the one his gun already had, and aims at one of them.

The cupid shoots at the jinko's head, she dodges him by moving to the side as she goes for him. So Cupid keeps shooting while retreating.

When he is within range, the jinko throws several claws, trying to immobilize him, however, the brother of hatred dodges as best he can, while trying to counterattack by shooting him.

Between attack, retreat or advance, the jinko manages to land a blow to the cupid's stomach, causing him to lower his guard for a moment, before grabbing him by the leg and knocking him to the ground.

The cupid falls to the ground suddenly, and is more or less stunned, the jinko takes advantage to sit on top of him and immobilize him, sitting on his back and digging her claws into his wrists.

The brother of hatred is moaning... pleasurably...?  Due to the attack, Cupid pulls out a dagger from under his sleeve, and using his hate magic (Hate Cupid, what did you expect?) and concentrates all of it in his hand, followed by throwing the dagger towards the jinko, which manages to hit her in the eye, causing the mamono to scream in pain as she releases the cupid and moves away from there.

Despite this, the force put into the hand to be able to throw the throwing weapon and its abruptness caused her wrist to twist, to the point of breaking and almost coming out, so she growls loudly while grabbing her wrist, severely clenching her mouth to suppress the moans of pain.

And before he knew it, he receives a powerful blow to the forehead, sending him flying several feet.

After finishing rolling, he quickly stands up, to see how the griffon flies upwards, followed by diving towards him.

Without much to do, the brother of hatred materializes a small spear with his essence, with shades of dark blue, with mist of the same color coming out of it, and throws it towards the griffon, then materializes a pair of daggers and throws them at her.

The griffon manages to dodge the spear with relative ease, however, she finds herself in trouble against the rain of daggers. She manages to dodge most of them with difficulty, but one of them gets embedded in a critical point of one of her wings, so she falls to the ground and begins to roll.

Although it is a perfect opportunity to finish off, he is frustrated when he realizes that the jinko is about to swipe at him, so, without time to dodge, he materializes a sword to block it. However, the mamono's strength is greater than his, so, not only does she finish throwing the sword, but also him.

With a heavy breath, the brother of hatred tries to get up even though he feels his arms shaking. But something grabs him by the neck and lifts him up easily, it is the jinko who, with one eye missing and looking at him with anger and annoyance, raises her big paw to dig her sharp claws into him.

However, something stops the jinko from piercing him in time, with an attack that makes her retreat slightly, and when she turns to see what it was, the apsara that was previously in the same cage with the brother of hatred appears, with her sadistic smile centimeters away from the mamono.

She reacts by releasing the cupid and retreating so that the apsara does not cut her jugular.

Somehow, before he reaches the ground, something pierces one of his back cheeks, making him moan in pain, followed by throwing him away.

Although you would normally expect him to roll like the damn rag that this imbecile is, instead, the brother of hate falls on his feet, but not before taking a couple of steps back while he makes the effort to stabilize himself.

And before he could realize it, a strong one, he receives a strong slap on the pierced flesh, so he screams lightly, followed by turning to look violently with anger and frustration.

It is the apsara, smiling mockingly at him, while, with the hand that she apparently used to spank him, which was stained with a violet liquid (cupid's blood), she begins to slowly lick with a long forked but thick tongue the blood on her hand.

"Mhh~, delicious blood, have you been exercising a lot lately?" The dancing sister asks mockingly "Maybe after this I will take a strong bite of that piece of meat… you know~"

The cupid wrinkles his face in disgust, while shaking his head, before turning to the mamono, the apsara laughing at his reaction.

"I will crush your disgusting skull after this."

"One can dream~"

The cupid, shaking his head, materializes a knife and positions himself… But he is pushed back abruptly. Confused, he looks at his chest, and sees that ‘his’ rifle had been recovered, being wrapped by the long tail of the apsara, which he quickly abandons.

"You weren’t going to go head-on against an irrational enemy that obviously outweighs you in strength, were you~?" The dancing sister comments mockingly, accompanied by a slight laugh.

He just grunts slightly, quickly aiming towards the mamono, but runs into the few remaining vehicles going in their direction. So they are forced to jump to the sides to evade them.

However, the cupid was not so lucky, as something sticky and firm grabs him from its wings, followed by starting to drag him.

When the brother of hatred turns around, he sees how an arachne quickly begins to attract him towards her with her resistant web, so he begins to twist, trying to free himself. This only makes the arachne smile even more sadistically, while her grip becomes increasingly firm…

"Hey, don't go without me!"

Again, something penetrates his flesh until it reaches the other side, this time being like a kidney is removed in the process. Grunting severely from the pain, he looks forward, seeing how the dancing sister is doing her best to match the speed of the vehicle, using her tail to hold on to the brother of hatred.

"Didn't you have a better place to hold on to!?" The cupid complains in pain, while he feels how his arms and wings are completely wrapped by the web, making it easier to drag.

"Don't you see that you are the only thing that I have that is closest to me?" The apsara comments, and while still maintaining her mocking tone, she looks a little more serious, running as fast as she can.

Without bothering to see if that was true or not, the cupid of hatred struggles roughly, trying to free himself. Although he only manages to get them into the vehicle with one pull.

In mid-air, the cupid is easily grabbed by large claws that wrap around his head and torso, it was nothing more and nothing less than the griffon he was fighting against.

He can see how the apsara pulls her tail out of him, taking his kidney in the process, while she begins to fight against the mamono.

However, they outnumbered her, the place was very small and she couldn't move freely, so she decides to go to one of the wheels of the transport to stab it with the daggers she has in her hands.  But a loud shot is heard next to him… And he sees how the dancing sister falls unconscious, falling on the edge, being quickly caught and protected by a harpy.

Despite the chaos of the surroundings, which little by little become less heard due to the distance, he manages to discern some footsteps, slow but firm.

The origin of those footsteps was none other than… An aberrant cupid of love, who turns around to see the captive brother in front of him.

He, in response, begins to struggle violently, trying to reach the sister of love, while looking at him with intense rage.

Although she remains serious, she cannot help but frown in sorrow, so she gently extends her hand towards his cheek, but, being expected such a reaction, the cupid of hatred did not take it well, and struggles even more against the firm and unbreakable grip of the griffon.

"So much hate… So much suffering… And for what…?  What is the need in all this?" The cupid asks, seeming to be directed more at her than at him.

"And why such a blasphemous and unnecessary love? Was it not enough for you to leave your disgusting customs and beliefs in your respective worlds, or are you too hungry for expansion to be able to think rationally?"

The cupid of love sighs at his words, so she shakes her head, while stroking his hair.

"It is not a suitable place to talk, my fallen and blinded brother, but I will make sure to bring you to the true path that we are all destined for at some point…" The cupid answers, with a load of guilt in her voice, followed by stepping back slightly and pointing a bright pink gun at his head "Make sure to heal his wounds."

His eyes open in both surprise and fear, although angels are not capable of truly dying (with a few exceptions) he could perceive that this weapon is not lethal in itself… They were not going to kill him… They would do something worse to him.

Hearing a statement from someone, the sister of love shoots without further ado, causing the brother of hate to look up at the sky for a moment due to the impact.

He can see how the combat in the skies doesn't seem to stop and only intensifies with each passing minute, and before he could close his eyes, he can see how the blasphemous ones receive reinforcements.

But they don't seem to be more cupids of love, instead, they wear sensual black armor, with weapons and shields of dark pink tone, with black wings and light blue skin, who went smiling to the battle.

…

…

…

Both my and his hearts stopped when we saw this.

…

…

And he finally falls unconscious.
