Chapter 13:

Lady Of God

Demon's Path | Akuma No Michi


Lucifer and Akuma wondered whether they would be able to defeat this woman, for she was too skilled and intelligent. She proceeded to fuse the two lanterns together, which not only caused a huge explosion, twice the size of a universe, but enough to destroy countless of them. It had also blinded the two Demon Gods. Well this didn’t matter, because Akuma and Lucifer couldn’t be affected either way, but this woman had her way. The cause of the lanterns to fuse was a singular orb, inside could be seen light and dark in a constant clash with each other.《 Ability 》Righteous Confinement- ‘This ability can trap everything and anything, without limits, disregarding how strong the receiving end is, on any and all levels’- The problem with God’s Grace in this situation was that Aarya’s ability didn’t affect them at all, contrary to how it seemed like, the Demon God’s weren't even touched, but around them was what seemed like an infinite space which they were trapped in, an inescapable demise for eternity. “Akuma, I had Daeva follow me…”- He whispered to the Demon Monarch and as a few minutes passed, they heard conflict outside. Daeva appeared with her dagger to Aanya’s neck. “I know I can’t harm you, but this? Trust me this can, it’s similar to how Akuma can bypass God’s Grace, after all it’s infused with his power. Now free them or I slit your throat and send you to your silly God.”- “I believe this is a bluff, either way it doesn’t matter, I won't free them.”- With ease Aanya released a roundhouse kick which made Daeva drop her dagger and sent her to the ground. Using her newfound powers she impaled Daeva on a cross similar to how Jesus was crucified. Daeva’s grunts and cries of pain were heard by Lucifer and Akuma as they tried to find a way out. “To be honest, I longed for death, I just wanted to be a normal human, without the worries of devils and angels, this ongoing war… I just wanted peace…”- “I’ll grant you your wish, my love, soon, but not now. Now you’ll fight for our side!”- “Don’t do this, I don’t want to betray my master!”- The birth of a new woman had started, the orb separated in two, back to the lanterns, and by using the light energy lantern and pouring it all over Daeva, this process would finish, she cried and shrieked, the hot light pierced her skin and made it anew, but this wasn’t Daeva’s wish, for she longed for a normal life, and at this moment death, but she knew she couldn’t fight against this superior power. I’d say this is rather torture, not rebirth but Aanya decides that I guess. “NO!”- Her final roar echoed throughout all of Graceland and the light started melting away from her. Her attractive black hair, now turned to white, her beautiful brown eyes now turned to yellow, and on her back, the whitest of wings. “You are born again, Teresa…”
