Chapter 241 - 26.1111111
Luci, I mean Lilith, scoffed at me. "Right, because you are some sort of kind divinity that cares more about her people than anything else in the world. Next, you are going to tell me that the sky is purple... right?"
Snapping my fingers, I never took my eyes off hers. "The sky is purple." I didn’t need to look up to see that the afternoon sky had changed from blue to purple. I knew without a doubt that it would be.
"More than humans, more than angels... my demons were pure magic," I continued, my voice ringing out around us. "And the Earth realm is where magic goes to die. It’s why the demons, even when they do find a window into another realm, always come back home. They get weak, they start getting sick... they start dying."
Lilith looked at me, her face completely impassive, but I knew I caught her attention. That was right... angel lady... you are a lesser being than my demons. Suck on that for a while.
"This isn’t like what came first, the chicken or the egg situation. When I saw the demons getting sick and dying without cause, I created a place where they could go and live the way they wanted to. No one to judge their actions and choices, no soul-sucking realm where they were so weak they could hardly hold their heads up high. I made an entire world for them to live happily ever after."
Dipping my head, I let out a low chuckle as I played with the old blood still on my cheek. "But like children, the demons forgot why they stayed in Hell. They forgot what it was like to have their very lives sucked out of them. Like children, all they could focus on was the one thing they couldn’t have."
"You are still nothing more than my replacement," shrugged Lilith. "And no amount of fancy words are going to change that fact."
"And you are nothing but a washed-up whore who thinks the only way to get power is to get under a powerful man," I dismissed, waving her away. "You are just pissed that I am the most powerful man around, and I don’t swing that way."
Lilith let out a screech so loud that I was pretty sure only dogs could hear. "You don’t know what you are talking about," she hissed at me, her eyes flashing white before she simply disappeared.
