I'm The Devil

Chapter 45: Coriel And Nyx



"I thought they say you are the strongest of you lots out here but I guess was wrong. So Nyx, the Primal goddess of the Night, what’s so special about you that draws me to you"

Hearing someone else’s voice in her domain that does to not belong to Erebus or any of her children, Nyx was shocked since she did not even feel the presence of the person until they spoke.

She turned around to see the woman who was with the three brothers in front of her devoid of any emotions on her face.

She found her to be weirdly familiar but she knew that she has never seen her before nor have any encounter with her and given the way she speaks and act, she is not from her Realm, maybe even the Cosmos, she must be one of those strangers that her fellow Primal gods were talking about.

"Are you one of the strangers from another Cosmos?" Asked Nyx who do not want to engage in any form of battle without knowing who she was going to face.

Yes, she was the strongest and most powerful Primordial but she also knows how to pick her battles and her instincts are telling her to run and never engage her in a battle.

Coriel raised a brow at her because this is not what she was expecting from Nyx "I thought you would have attacked me by now given I intruded into your domain but I thought wrong.

So let me introduce myself, you have earned at least that, my name is Coriel, one of the Arch Demons/Archangels and Lord of Hell, the Sin of Sloth and I am here because I felt something drawing me to you and I have coke to find out what it is. Can you help figure out what that is?" Said Coriel as she appeared in the face of Nyx who just stare wide eyed at her.

The woman before her was so otherworldly beautiful even to the extent of making her look ugly in her presence.

The purple hair, the purple pupils each compliments one another adding to her true beauty.

But what truly caught her eyes is the pure black Raven wings that was on her back.

It was as black as the darkest of nights and the abyss or something even she the personification of the night would not compare to, the sea of Chaos.

Chaos, something outside the Cosmos, a place where no one would dare to venture into because how terrifying it is which made them unable to leave their Cosmos as they are surrounded by a sea of Chaos ready to eat them alive the moment they step into it.

But one day she tried to see what was inside this sea of Chaos and decided leave her Cosmos. The moment she stepped out of the Cosmos into the sea of Chaos, she felt a terrifying presence inside as if beckoning her to come to them but she immediately turned around but was engulfed by a terrifying darkness which made her lose her consciousness.

Later she woke up inside her home without any recollection of how she got there in the first place and then she found this weird pendant clutched tightly in her hands, another mysteries she is trying to solve till this very day.

But after that incident, she felt herself become even more powerful than when she ever was making her the most powerful Primordial and a force to be reckoned with in the entire Cosmos but no body knew what she suffered from every waking second of the day, the trauma of venturing into the sea of Chaos scared her for the rest of her life.

And today, she felt that same feeling from Coriel the moment she saw that wings making her afraid.

Coriel could see the way Nyx was sweating buckets the moment her wings appeared wondering if one of her siblings has met her and did something terrible to her scarring her for life.

She immediately put away her wings and looked at Nyx in the eyes before she felt a presence, an aura she thought she would never come in contact with again, the aura of her Father. No, that was not his, this is someone else’s, if her Father’s aura was like a calming sea, then this one was like a raging ocean, like it was out to destroy everything that stands in her way.

She traced the presence and saw the source of that aura, it was from the Pendant Nyx wore around her neck.

"Where did you get that from?" Asked Coriel as she ran her hands around the Pendant.

"Outside the Cosmos, in the sea of Chaos, I don’t know how but I found it on me after I woke up from falling unconscious in there"

Nyx said after calming down and saw that Coriel was also interested in the Pendant. Maybe with her help, she might find out what really opened to her in there and get rid of her trauma and having her old life back.

Coriel frowned when looking at the Pendant as she could feel that something or someone’s consciousness is clearly hidden in the Pendant and they are the one calling out her, drawing her towards them the moment Zeus and his companions stepped forth on Mt. Olympus.

"I will be holding on unto this" Coriel said as she took the Pendant from Nyx and turn around to leave since she has gotten what she came here for, she see no reason to hang around anymore.

"Wait, I just can’t let you take what’s mine, I either come with you or you stay here with me, either way I am not letting my eyes off that thing, I need to know what happened to me in there, so what do you say?" Said Nyx without taking her eyes off from the Pendant.

Coriel sighed when she saw how stubborn Nyx turned out to be without even knowing what she was dealing with, even she herself just wanted to take the Pendant and give it to Lucifer to help her figure out how this Pendant is linked to them and their Father because she was still getting that same vibe she gets anytime she was in the presence of her Father.

Coriel put away the Pendant "if you want to come, then suit years yourself but the moment you step out of line, I will snuff you out and have either Bariel or Lucifer have you for breakfast" she said as she turned around to leave followed by Nyx who was having goosebumps when she heard she was going to be dinners to two people if she did not stay in line.

[I’m being threatened, damn it, this is a first but as soon as I get our I want I will be out of her hair. I won’t be looked down upon by her anymore]

With that, Nyx joined Coriel as they made their way out of the depths of Tartarus.

Back to rge trios

Clang~Clang~Clang

Thanatos and Hades were exchanging blows after blows with Thanatos coming out on top as he was the better and more experienced fighter than Hades who was in his father’s stomach all his life.

But Hades did not give up and still continued his exchange with Thanatos even when he knew he was not getting the upper hand but with every passing second of their altercation, he knew he was getting better and with time he would have the upper hand against Thanatos.

Thanatos also knew this that’s why he wanted to end this fight with a decisive blow but Hades would not let him have the chance.

"For a new god, you are really annoying" cried Thanatos as he was getting frustrated with Hades.

Hades didn’t answer and dodged the attack coming his way.

Zeus and Poseidon were also having some difficulties as they are outnumbered but they are having it pretty well compared to Hades who was facing a second generation god.

Hades bent low when Thanatos threw a large blast of deadly energy ball towards him destroying what was behind him.

Hades with a burst of speed rushed at Thanatos who has let his guard down after he launched his last attack and stabbed him in his torso before getting away from him.

"For an old god, you are easily predictable" said Hades who smiled as he saw the injuring he inflicted on Thanatos getting bigger and deeper, one of the effects of the dagger.

"What is that dagger you have there?" Cried Thanatos as he could feel the pain from his injury getting intense with every passing second.

Without answering Hades disappeared from the sight of Thanatos and appeared behind him but he underestimated the god of death if he thought a small injury like that would weakened him and cloud his sense of reasoning.

The moment Hades appeared, Thanatos also turned around and held him by his neck bringing him down to the ground really hard creating a crater underneath him.

"I don’t know what that blade of yours is but when I’m done with you, I will have it for myself" he said as he raised his scythe high and aimed for his neck.

Zeus and Poseidon seeing this wanted to move to help their brother but was blocked by the lesser gods making them unable to advance.

"This is what you get for underestimating me"

Thanatos said as he brought down his Scythe at a speed in which lesser gods could not follow as it moved to rip the life of Hades.
