Chapter 12:

Birth of Lucifer

Demon's Path | Akuma No Michi


“Yes, this is perfect, indeed Uriel, we shall rule this world, but first. Let me change that shameful name, it’s now going to be Lucifer. Just like it should’ve been. I knew there was evil in your veins. It’s in everyone.”- His laugh resonated maniacally throughout all of creation. Akuma had gained the knowledge regarding hell and every single being within it, after all he was it’s supreme ruler. “Daeva, step up.”- A woman with dark long hair appeared, beautiful yet very evil within. “You shall serve Lucifer and aid to his requests. Got it?”- “Yes master.”- She didn’t sound too happy about this, but she had to follow it, obedience was one of her key beliefs. “Nice to meet you, I’m Daeva, I’m 523 years old.”- “Same here, the name’s Lucifer.”- “I am aware of your name Master.”- “Akuma, I’d like to discuss something with you, a rather important topic.”- “Alright Lucifer, meet me in five minutes. I’ll be at the bloody gates.”- During these five minutes Akuma discovered a siphon, allowing him to possess the ability known as God’s Grace, after absorbing the siphon, he had finally become invincible… They both stood face to face in front of the gates stained by the blood of sinners. Enormous, but rusty, they carried the weight of guilt on them. “Now, let me inform you about an idea I have. During my time as a Legion God, we resided in a place called Graceland. It is the origin of all things in creation, and the rest of the Gods are currently there. I believe it would be smart to approach them, and possibly defeat or convert them into Demon Gods.”-“Indeed, your idea is quite interesting, why don’t we go right now?”- “Shouldn’t we prepare?”- “Come on silly, why would we do that?”- Akuma laughed, this time it was a laugh of happiness, finally having something to share with what he considered a friend. Both of them were on the way to Graceland, with Lucifer leading the way. The gap between Hell and Graceland was endless and unreachable, but using Akuma’s chains, he banished the distance between them. There they were, in front of a marvelous greenland. No gates, no homes. “Alright, let’s cause some terror here!”- Akuma was quite pumped, while Lucifer worried if they would be able to overcome the rest of the Gods. “Uriel, why did you betray us?”- A voice appeared from the bushes, and out came a charming woman, who dared to compare her beauty, orange luscious hair, and eyes like the ocean. She was wearing a white robe, whiter than snow, and she had two pairs of wings. Floating beside her, were what could be described as two lanterns. One brimming with bright, life energy, and one with dark and sinister energy. Lucifer’s eyes shone bright red-”My name is Lucifer! And I will kill the rest of the Gods. Aanya, just give yourself up to Akuma.”- The lady didn’t appreciate the sight of her new comrade, nor did she appreciate Akuma. The life energy lantern released a beam that contained more power than the Heaven itself, it pierced both of the men and sent them flying. At least that's what she thought, both of them had acquired God’s Grace, and couldn’t be affected at all. They couldn’t forget that Aanya also had this ability, but Akuma had a way to bypass it. Akuma used his method of bypassing any sort of immunity to start landing his attacks on the lady, however she was just too smart, avoiding the attacks and using her own to counter them…
