Nine Tailed System 172 Betrayal

Eden: Yes.

Marco: Eden… It was a while that we didn't saw each other…

Eden: Don't act so familiar with me, Sinner. I am Seraphim Eden. The first and highest among the angels, who serves at Ilias' side.

Marco: ...Weren't you the third one created?

Eden's mouth contorts in rage as she lost her calm facade.

Eden: Son of Lucifina! Even you dare to taunt me!?

Marco: What did you expect, I would compliment you? Look, if I wasn't already in love with Alice, Ilias killed my mother with a disease, and this war would never happened, I might have tried to flirt with you, but you are an enemy and hate my guts, so I need to slaughter you.

Eden: I am the most faithful among Ilias' followers! Both Micaela and Lucifina betrayed her! I am not the Third! I love Ilias!

Marco: ...I take it back, no lesbians…

Eden: ...I honor her always!

Eden's body started to expand, as her huge wings spread wide, countless angels take form from her feathers.

Eden: Look upon my power! The power of a Seraphim, inferior to neither Micaela nor Lucifina!

Marco's eyes narrowed and readied his Doomblade, while being in the Kurama Gate. As more power flooded into her, her body expanded larger and larger…

Eden stood over everything, glaring at Marco from the structure she just created, around her there were black haired angels hugging her and what looked like a garden was around her area, with blue flowers, branches of sakura trees, stones…

Around the garden there was a red rail, and under that rail there were two ma.s.sive wings, under the garden there was something that could be called abomination, there were b.a.l.l.s of flesh surrounding a giant v.a.g.i.n.a, and there were countless red tentacles at the bottom.

Eden: ...It has been a long time since I shown my true form. Not since the Great Monster War against the Six Ancestors and the Doom Overlord.

Marco: ...I take back everything, I would just ignore everything about you anyways…

Marco slammed the Doomblade on the ground and prepared himself, by using the Dark Boost, he will really need it against Eden…

Marco shot forward while Alice supported him from behind with an Omega Blaze. He immediately used the Five Headed Dracolich to cut nearby tentacles, the sharp Doomblade cut the tentacles like paper, but when it slammed onto Eden's giant body, it managed to only scratch her.

Eden: AARRRGHHHH!!!

However, the pain caused was really intense due to the Light's Bane. Eden felt like someone poured salt on her injuries and then stabbed there with a hot knife.

Eden immediately slapped away Marco with her wing, he was flung away, but got caught from Alice's tail.

Marco: Throw me!

She immediately flung Marco at Eden, he prepared himself to attack Eden again.

Eden sent tentacles at Marco, and before they could touch him, Marco disappeared as a shadow, reaching right in front of Eden's main body on the top of the abomination.

Alice used Monster Lord's Cruelty to distract Eden, and Marco slashed down at her figure. But one of her angels tackled Marco away, his slash only managed to cut a branch of a sakura tree.

Before Marco could get up, other angels jumped over his body to block his movements.

Marco gritted his teeth while Alice was bombarding Eden with her magic, however Eden didn't received that much damage from her attack and smirked coldly at Marco.

Eden: I will see how the son of Lucifina will taste…

Marco continued to struggle, but the angels were surprisingly too strong for him to move, and he can't use Gnome in the Dark Boost.

Eden lowered her body and grabbed Marco's left cheek, but the moment Eden and Marco looked at each other's eyes, Eden's mind broke and screamed in terror while holding her head.

Marco: 'Torture…'

Then from his armor, 5 black chakra limbs came out and grabbed the angels' necks, before squeezing them. Soon, they were unable to breathe anymore and got limp from the loss of air while Eden was still screaming.

*Ding*

*116/???*

*1000/1000/1000/1000/1000 pt.*

*180000 pt.*

Alice finally managed to destroy the tentacles at the bottom, the only thing that could attack Marco and Alice now were the angels Eden summoned and her wings, Eden herself was still trying to struggle on her illusion, she's gone insane…

Marco walked around the Garden made from her and picked up the Doomblade that was impaled on the ground, then he looked at Eden.

Marco: ...Shame, you were such a beauty before… 'Dark Overlord.'

Using his Dark Boost, the Dark Overlord increased exponentially its power and split Eden in two, the "Torture" ended and she finally realized that she is dead.

Eden: I… Can't lose… I'm not… Inferior… To Lucifina!

Her entire body faded in particles, and vanished. Marco fell on his feet and dusted off his armor.

*Ding*

*117/???*

*45000 pt.*

*225000 pt.*

Marco: Well, it looks you are in good shape Alice.

Alice: You are always as reckless as ever… At least now we can rampage around as we wis.h.!.+

Marco: Hohoho…

Marco extended his arm towards where the center of the Heavens should be before every nearby tree was caught in a giant lightning. Then he sheathed his Doomblade at the back and walked with Alice towards the way he just made.

[Meanwhile]

Ilias: The disgraced Sinner Marco set foot into the Heavens…?

Promestein: …

Black Alice: Teehee. The party is reaching its climax. About that, Promestein, you need to give me the 5 gold coins, I won the bet.

Promestein: Tch...

Ilias: Is this a laughing situation for you, Black Alice? I think you should attempt to be a little more helpful to me. Black Alice, intercept the disgraced Sinner immediately. As for you, Promestein, I approve of the use of "White Rabbit". Cooperate with Black Alice to eliminate the Sinner.

Promestein: ...I created "White Rabbit" myself. You have no right to grant or deny permission of its use.

Ilias' eyes widened in surprise at Promestein's response.

Ilias: ...Have you forgotten to whom you speak?

Promestein: Ilias… I will never forget how you pardoned me for my crimes… So you could use me. I've a.s.sisted you until now… We are even.

Ilias: What are you talking about? You…

Promestein: …

Suddenly, a powerful magical field forms around Ilias.

Ilias: Impossible… The Six Ancestors' Great Seal!? Why are you casting it here!?

Promestein: According to my calculations, even you are vulnerable to this seal. After all, Dark G.o.d Alipheese herself was sealed with it…

Ilias: Have you gone mad!? Black Alice, eliminate Promestein this instant!

Black Alice: Hehehe.

With a strange laugh, Black Alice pulled out a syringe. "White Rabbit"... The forced evolution medicine created directly from cells obtained from the Alipheese line. Bringing the point to her neck, she injected it into her own body.

Ilias: Black Alice! You… No, both of you…!?

Black Alice: ...As you know, I'm a direct descendant of Dark G.o.d Alipheese herself. Thus, my cells are quite receptive to hers… Hehe… You see where this is going, don't you? My body is evolving at an incredible rate now…

Ilias: You abomination! You intend to bring forth the power of that wicked G.o.ddess yet again!?

Promestein: The power of the previous Dark G.o.d was attractive… But I was thinking beyond that. Do you remember that report about the ma.s.sive explosion at the laboratory? That powerful explosion was caused by a simple mix of dark and holy energy.

If you could harvest and control such power in a living being… You would become the ultimate existence… Or so goes my hypothesis.

All of her experiments of fusing angels and monsters together were to test for this hypothesis.

Black Alice: In other words… If I infuse my body, already br.i.m.m.i.n.g with the power of the Dark G.o.ddess, with an equal amount of raw holy energy…

A smile slowly spread across Black Alice's face.

Ilias: ...E...Eden! What are you doing!? Come to my aid!

Promestein: That Third is already dead on the hands of the Doom Overlord.

Ilias: Hnnf…. A good for nothing, all the way to the end! Someone, come to my aid! Can no one hear my voice!? Come to my side!

From far away, someone answered…

Marco: SHUT THE f.u.c.k UP!!

His voice echoes across the Heaven…

Black Alice: Pffft…. Hahahahahahaha, it's no use. Everyone is already against you…

Ilias: Black Alice I'll give the surface world to you! So… So…! He...lp…

Black Alice: ...Goodbye, G.o.ddess Ilias.

Black Alice's lower body exploded with various predatory organs that devoured Ilias.

[Later]

There was only Promestein and Black Alice, nothing changed except for the presence of Ilias.

Promestein: Well?

Black Alice: Hehe… I feel power rising from deep within my body… It feels like I truly am a G.o.d…

Promestein: What you should become is more than a G.o.d…

Black Alice: Now then, I should go dispose of that Sinner Marco now… It will be a good chance to test out this ultimate body of mine.

Promestein: No, you shouldn't. I'll get rid of the Sinner and that Monster Lord myself.

Black Alice: Oh my… Can you really handle that alone?

Promestein: After this, we will divide up and rule the world. This is to be my contribution…

As she was about to head out, Promestein paused and slowly turned around.

Promestein: Here the gold coins…

Promestein took out a bag of gold coins and threw it at Black Alice, who grabbed it with a smile on her face. Then Promestein left.
