A Cliché Multiverse Story

The literal manifestation of a Heavenly Dragon caused an uproar in the city. Naturally, the lurking Serafall and Ajuka duo noticed Ddraig, much to their shocked mind.

“It’s scary, Ajuka. Hades and Ddraig. Is he planning to destroy the Underworld?”

Ajuka narrowed his eyes on the twelve-winged angel. Even he could barely see it, so the chances of Serafall noticing were minuscule.

“Let’s pay him a visit… and try to change his mind.”

“With the noble and peaceful method.”

Serafall and Ajuka flew up to the enigmatic castle. Out of every bizarre thing in the world, they never expected to see the unreasonable dictator diligently receiving headpats from a ravishing angel as if he was a child.

“Ajuka, my eyes may be functioning wrong during the day.”

“It’s his brother.”

Ajuka refused to believe the sight before his eyes. The man before him couldn’t be the same person who murdered his friend in cold blood.

Hades looked at the new guests. One of them was the irregular devil Hades had his eyes on for a long time. The female devil wasn’t weak by any means, but she was no match for a god-class like the green-haired devil. For the new ruler to defeat both of them without God’s assistance spoke of his strength. Hades coveted the true ancestor of Lilith for this very reason, to artificially create an army of devils. That way, he could tackle the low odds of mutated genes within the devils.

With a legion of such devils, he could trample on the Biblical God and the three factions. The lesser mythology factions will be crushed.

Asahi could feel Hades’s burning desire. His lips curled into a smirk.

‘Is Skeleton King planning on taking Lilith?’

Hades had used Lilith as a machine for breeding devils after she turned into a blob of disgusting flesh.

‘Will she become like that?’

He wasn’t letting her suffer the same fate even if she wasn’t his woman.

“Wait a minute, Sandra.” Asahi stopped Sandalphon from patting his head and turned to the uninvited guests. He took off Sandalphon’s hand. “Serafall, Ajuka, what’s up? Let’s not stand out here.”

***

A few minutes later, four people were sitting in a chamber. Hades was silent, seemingly lost in the thoughts brewing in his mind while Serafall went off about the beauty of the castle Asahi created.

Saya slipped through the door, a tray in her hands and a toothy grin on her face. Rini followed with a calm expression. The two girls served plain tea to the guests.

“Won’t this go out of your dead ass?” Saya asked, grinning at Hades. “Just a curious thought. Nothing toxic.”

Hades propped his elbows on the table and intertwined his bony fingers. “I feed on death, not mortal delicacies. You are?”

“I’m his wife,” Saya answered briefly before turning to Asahi. “Should I sacrifice a few devils and perform a satanic ritual?”

“We’re devils…” Serafall awkwardly raised her hand. “We don’t answer the rituals that sacrifice devils. Please don’t do that!”

Hades stared at Saya. “You carry the fire of a sacred bird within you, yet you’re a human…? How is that possible?”

“I wonder why.” Saya shrugged and gave Asahi a stern look. “Don’t forget about your little angel mistress. She is in Shizuka Nee-san’s room.”

Asahi couldn’t help but imagine a threesome with Gabriel, Sandalphon, and Shizuka. The three angels of his life in one bed, wrapping him in their wings.

(My love, I’m not your angel?) Klyscha asked, her voice dripping with despair.

‘You are the goddess of these angels.’

Asahi patted Saya’s cheeks with telekinesis before she left. Rini clenched her demonic gauntlets as she stood behind Asahi as his attendant.

The room fell silent as Asahi leaned back into his chair. “So, Hades, let’s talk business.”

“Not every discussion has to have a greater purpose.” Hades shook his head. “Sometimes we, gods, do whimsical things.”

“Then go away.”

Serafall stared at the man who just instructed Hades to go away as if he was shooing a stray dog from his yard. “A-Asahi, let’s be civil…”

Her blue eyes had a teary-eyed look, begging him not to offend one of the strongest gods of the Greek Pantheon.

“Why should I be civil?” Asahi frowned. “I have no reason to be courteous when his subordinate gave me no respect.”

Hades remained at Asahi’s accusation. “I have already apologized for that offense. Pluto.”

Pluto materialized from the shadows and bowed before Hades. A glance from Asahi almost sent the grim reaper shivering back to his portals. Pluto willed himself as he stepped forward and put a cryptic black wooden box on the table.

The black box of mystery was no threat as per Asahi’s instincts. Rather, the rich water and life elemental energy inside the box gave a similar feeling to the katana he forged for Saeko.
