Chapter 402: Messenger From Hell
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
The same day the Underworld lost their Great Kings, the city of Lucifaad witnessed the first change. The tall building that symbolized Lucifer and his pride shattered like broken glass. The boulders then flew towards the scarlet sky and pieced themselves together.
Welcome to the New Monarchy. Please sit tight while we sort out a few key problems. Bad children will be punished~.
The message stopped the few lawbreakers from running rampant in the city. The culprit behind the message was, of course, Asahi, his earth elemental form, and the mischievous Shiori. He rebuilt a new castle where Lucifer used to live under Lilith's apathetic gaze. Lucifer's wife hadn't asked Asahi to cure Lucifer as though she couldn't care about him at all.
At first, Asahi went with a simple fortress castle design, but Shiori stared at him with utter disappointment.
"No, no, Asahi-kun. I expected something cultured from you, like a sky island with a million laser beams!"
"That would be hard," Grayfia responded. "Let's settle with this castle for now."
Grayfia didn't want to bother him, not after she saw his face erupting in the last battle.
"Grayfia Nee-chan, you are stressing too much. He can fuck us nonstop for years. An injury like that means nothing to the future God of Creation. Saya, why are you silent? Didn't you say you wanted to marry in a floating castle?"
"Ahem." Saya looked away. "I don't remember saying that."
Asahi noted down Saya's preference in his mind. He hugged Shiori and Grayfia. "Who says we can't have two castles?"
"As expected of a harem protagonist, you want the best of every world. Shiori said with a grin.
Asahi just chuckled in response while Saeko was holding back her urge to bonk Shiori on the head.
"Let's do that then. We shall rule the pitiful devils from Heaven and Earth."
Saya conjured balls of fire in her hands, ready to blast the chuunibyou out of her sight.
Shiori hugged Asahi, hiding from Saya. "Saya-chan, let's not play with fire. The last time we did that, Saeko had to work overtime with her water element."
"Shiori, let's not drag Saeko here," Asahi gently scolded her. "Let's work on the castle. Saya, come."
"Yes daddy!"
"..."
Sometimes Asahi wondered if Shiori was a bigger degenerate than him.
Just as Asahi soared into the sky, a tingle ran through his head. He immediately dashed back to his original place. The space twisted and out came a grim reaper with a scythe that was nothing like the elegant scythe Saeko wielded. Rotten hands and tentacles wrapped wove around the blade down to the scythe's handle.
Asahi narrowed his eyes. "Minion of Hades?"
He had completely forgotten about the God of Hell in the depths of the Underworld. This particular grim reaper was stronger than the Satan-class devils. Saeko's battlelust awakened as she sensed Grim Reaper's strength.
Pluto shuddered at the surge of powerful aura around him. He looked at the woman whose smile was even more sadistic than Nyx, the Goddess of Night.
'She has to be the swordswoman who incapacitated the green devil.'
His face under the robe scrunched. "Ruler of Underworld, my name is Pluto, the attendant of Lord Hades. You seem to be busy at the moment."
Shiori folded her arms under her chest."Well, duh. Why don't you come later, Grim Reaper-san?"
Shiori had no fear whatsoever. Rather, she deliberately provoked the grim reaper just to plant flags for another conquest. Saeko had the most fun in fights against intelligent opponents, and sadly the dungeon couldn't provide Saeko with what she wanted.
"...I have come with a message. Lord Hades will be arriving tomorrow to meet you."
Pluto kept his eyes on Asahi. In his eyes, Asahi had a divine aura far different from the gods. Even though Pluto was curious, he didn't ask anything.
"Tomorrow?" Asahi frowned. "Okay. I can spare a few minutes for your Lord Skeleton."
"I'll take my leave." Pluto felt like he would take unnecessary actions if he stayed.
The Grim Reaper disappeared in the same way he came.
"What even was that?" Saya asked with a frown. "Ugly retard."
"Now, now. Saya, let's continue with the castle of your dreams."
Asahi returned to bringing her dream castle into reality.
That day, the devils glimpsed at the true character of their new ruler. He was a crazy person willing to break and make a floating castle for almost fifteen hours and still not be satisfied with it. Even when the night fell, he was not decisive with the design. The devils were glad about one thing. The massive project made no noise whatsoever.
By the time Asahi was done with the glorious castle in the sky, the entire family had assembled on a cloud platform made by Shiori. Asahi stretched his rocky, inflexible muscles and returned to his human form. His movements were dozens of times slow in rock elemental form, but his defense was even higher than Great Red. He doubted any physical could scratch him in rock elemental form.
"So, how's this, Saya?"
"You madman." Saya sighed and looked up. The castle was decorated in silver and gold, something out of the pages of a fairytale. The lush forest around the castle boundaries made everything stand out even more. Saya's eyes turned crimson as her alter ego took over. "I fucking love it."
Judging from her passionate eyes, Asahi could tell he was getting extra love tonight. Asahi took the girls to explore the interior he designed with Klyscha's help. She had literally handed him a tablet that contained concept layouts of thousands if not more castles.
His joyful time didn't last long, however. A twelve-winged angel descended upon his castle with a golden sword in her hand.
"Teacher…" Sandalphon called him in a shaky voice. "Did you betray us…?"
Someone misunderstood his intentions behind taking over the Underworld.
