Chapter 891: Scary Aunts
?Lucifer's Territory, Demon Continent.
Basking in the purple moonlight, Lith and Lucifer were walking in the hanging gardens by the Demon Castle.
Rows of colorful flowers grew upside-down magically in the air and the sides of the walkway had vines cascading down gracefully.
Pointing at a patch of black and red roses on the ground, Lucifer said, "Your mother gifted me that."
Looking at the roses, Lith thought about something and turned to look at Lucifer. He squinted his eyes and continued to ponder about something.
"What?" Lucifer blinked in confusion. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Lith rubbed his chin and said, "Are you sure it's gifted and not stolen?"
Lucifer paused in her tracks hearing that and showed a surprised look. "How did you—wait, what the fuck do you mean stolen, bitch!?"
Lith made a smug face and said, "Knew it. There's no way mom's ever gifting you anything."
A vein popped on Lucifer's forehead.
She wrapped her arm around Lith's shoulder and hugging him closer to herself, said, "You know, sometimes I wonder how a crooked cock feels inside. Do you wanna perhaps volunteer and let me know?"
Lith felt a chill down his spine hearing that and tried to distance himself from Lucifer, but failed to do so as her hug was really firm.
He covered his crotch and said, "Don't even think about it."
It was Lucifer's turn to boast a smug look. "Why do you seem so scared? Aunt will never hurt her nephew, even though he's really naughty."
The last comment seemed really ominous and clearing his throat, Lith said, "Anyway, I wonder why and how you have so many powerful things with you."
Lucifer shrugged in response and said flatly, "That's just a normal trait of your aunts. It's not just me who possesses nice things, your other two aunts have them as well, though in a different sense than mine."
"Hm?" Lith expressed a curious look and gestured to Lucifer to elaborate.
"Well, for starters, me, your mom, Mayzin, and Agalea... We're not your normal world leaders or Supreme Ranks." Lucifer said this in such a normal tone that it was some random common fact, dumbfounding Lith.
Walking by an alive patch of wild flowers swaying side to side, Lucifer continued, "We possess enough powers to destroy this world on our own and no one else would be able to stop us. Of course, we four can stop each other, but other than that, there's nobody."
"And yes, before you tell me about your mother, I know very well that no one can stop her if she wants to do something. She's in a league of her own, I'll give her that."
Lith didn't even say anything and Lucifer was already answering the things on his mind. A Supreme Rank, no matter how dumb, actually had a much sharper brain than an average person and it was no joke.
Lith was genuinely impressed right now and continued to listen with an interested look.
Lucifer continued, "Lilith aside, me, Mayzin, and Agalea have many things on ourselves that would actually destroy the world if we wanted."
"Agalea could have the world's vitality collapse, destroying the world and killing all but a few people."
"Mayzin could cause a widespread famine and extinguish all cultivation resources in the world, causing a widespread chaos which would make people fight each other to death for a mere slice of bread."
"And then there's me, who..."
Lucifer smiled like a villain and pulled Lith in her embrace, then snapped her finger.
BA-DUM~!
Lith's entire being felt a great chill as a humongous aura descended down in the atmosphere.
A scary feeling took over Lith's whole being and for the first time in years did he feel a big threat in this world.
The surroundings turned dark and from all directions, multiple pairs of eyes with varied colors tried to peer right into Lith's soul.
It was just for an instant and the feeling vanished completely as if it wasn't there in the first place.
Lucifer smiled widely and asked, "Do you understand who Lucifer actually is? If you still don't, look at this..."
A tablet appeared out of thin air and fell on Lith's hands.
Lith looked at it and there was some breaking news on it.
"BREAKING NEWS! BREAKING NEWS! BREAKING NEWS!"
"TERROR SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, PEOPLE IN MAJOR PANIC!"
"HERE ARE THE FOOTAGE FROM AROUND THE WORLD!"
.....
Neutral Continent.
"Ah, what a bright sunny day. Let's go grab some ice cream—"
RUMBLE!
Two people were chatting happily, but their words were suddenly cut off with a loud thunder rumbling in the sky.
The sky then suddenly turned dark and it seemed as if a storm was approaching.
"Yo, what's up with the weather today? I wonder what—"
BA-DUM~!
A humongous pressure descended down on all beings and froze everyone's heart for a split second.
The weak collapsed on the spot while the weaker ones died.
The pressure was lifted off in the very next instant, but a huge massacre had occurred and damaged many.
The scenes from the Neutral Continent and the ones from different places of the world were similar.
The same pressure came, same multiple eyes were seen, and the same massacre took place everywhere.
What may have caused it was unknown and currently, everyone was trying to fix the damage done by the aura.
.....
Demon Continent.
Lith knitted his brows and said in a low yet serious tone, "What have you done, aunt..."
Lucifer smiled and ruffled Lith's hair. "Just showed the world a small glimpse of the Demon Queen's might."
Lith looked at Lucifer with a pained expression and replied, "So many died—"
"Nope. No one died." Lucifer put a finger on Lith's lips and said with a big smile.
Lith knitted his brows in response, but soon, heard the breaking news flash again in the tablet.
+
"Breaking news!"
"Elemental energies go haywire, many feel a stir in their souls and collapse."
"Some seemed to have died, but turns out they haven't."
"Newsflash: everything's normal, the elemental energies are not chaotic anymore."
+
Hearing the news made Lith raise his eyebrows in surprise and stare at the tablet and then at Lucifer stupidly.
Lucifer smirked and wrapping her arm around Lith's shoulder, said, "Boy, can you even imagine that you've gotten a sloppy toppy from a Queen capable of shaking the entire world in a mere snap of her fingers."
Lucifer proudly laughed at her own joke, but Lith was actually feeling a bit impressed and also was at a loss on what to do.
Usually, he was the one bullying his ladies and watched them be stupefied, but today the tables had turned and he was getting one surprise after another with no breaks.
Lith still couldn't believe that this big breasted succubus beside him had actually managed to shake the whole world along with him in just an instant, that too with a snap of her fingers!
How overpowered was she even!?
If Lith wasn't wrong, he had seen the Serpent of Time Ouroboros, the Black Tortoise, the Vermilion Bird, the White Tiger, and the Azure Dragon along with the Cerberus, all at the same instance.
However, what he didn't understand was, to whom did the rest of the eyes belong to?
The ground beneath him had suddenly turned pitch black as if there was a black hole beneath him. He hadn't missed out on this detail.
Right from the very bottom, there were multiple pairs of scary eyes looking at him. Whom did it belong to?
Lith genuinely had no idea.
Surely they weren't the Devils sealed up below in the many floors of the Abyss, right?
If Lucifer could seal the Devils, then this just meant that they were weaker than her.
If such was the case though, then they shouldn't be able to scare Lith as he was already immune to a Supreme Rank's aura.
Then who...
Lith was genuinely clueless and even had a hard time recalling the whole picture.
It was like, the harder he tried to remember everything and recreate the images in his mind of that instance, the more it was fading away.
In just a few seconds of recalling, Lith suddenly muttered out, "Huh? What was I just thinking?"
Lucifer noticed this and had the corner of her lips curve up. 'It's not the right time to know everything, nephew.'
Information in this world was a dangerous resource. People could get themselves killed if they were to know of some facts which shouldn't be known by anybody.
Lucifer hence ensured her nephew stayed safe and made him forget everything he saw.
Yes, it was indeed very cool to flex on him her prowess, but she didn't want him to land in any trouble for knowing things and hence had him forget it.
It wasn't just Lith, the whole world forgot except for the people at the very top, but they all chose to ignore this thing as they didn't want to fight the master to whom these all creatures belonged to.
Lucifer was well aware of this as well and whatever steps she had taken were not on a whim, but calculated and thorough. It was also about time the rest of the Supremes knew that she wasn't simply a lazy otaku neet.
Clearing her throat and turning to Lith who was wondering about what he was thinking, Lucifer leaned close to his ear and whispered:
"You were thinking of getting a gawk gawk 3000 from your demon aunt, weren't you?"
