Devil Slave (Satan system)-Chapter 1394: After 100 Years

A hundred years later...

Father Black floated beyond the blue sun's edge, robes whipping in solar wind, beard now a flowing white river down his chest.

Demeter clung to his left arm—green vines woven into her hair like a crown—cradling their daughter, little sprout who already had calluses from pulling radishes at age nine.

She was their fourth.

Father Black had insisted she learned the hard way.

He was a man that had seen the fall of countries, empires, and the rise of the one ruling Royal Family.

While his daughter was highly favoured by great and powerful people all over the world and beyond, he did not want her to be a burden to either herself or the lenny family,

and thus, he was a father that made sure his children appreciated the ground even if they had access to the sky.

To his right: King Alexander, still in Macedonian bronze but polished mirror-bright, eyes sharper than any arrow.

Yo say he had noy enjoyed all his years on eartg would be a lie.

Even though he had initially come for battle, he was already a high ranking official that had been offered to join the lenny royal family.

And then they was Clawed. The demon son of the first great demon Lenny had killed.

He too was here. After completing the secret mission Father Black asked of him, he had come back to the family.

Now, he stood with three bat like wings behind him.

He had undergone certain changes—like how his skin was more human than it was demon. And the mamy tattoos that covered his form.

But overall, he still looked bursting with power. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Athena, Regent of hell was also here. She took had her family, of course, Hector and their Son would have to stay far behind her.

Even though Vigil had adviced against this, Athena wanted to prove a point.

After all, in Father Black's own words, "The Children are our Tomorrow. Let them carve the path."

She drifted ahead, her new armor a living phoenix—molten gold feathers shifting like flame, tail blazing a comet trail that singed vacuum.

Kanada hovered opposite her, skin glowing like sanctified marble, lacking facial features as usual. Except this time around, her face had become a literal void many dared not look—holy, yes, but you'd still wet yourself if she looked at you wrong.

Behind them: a hundred humans. Kids who once dug potatoes, or fought monsters for years, now flying.

While, flight and even surviving in space was not possible until at least the Deep Demo. Rank.

Not one of these 100 was nkt spevisl in their own right.

Also, those of lesser strength were given special devices that aided them in soace.

Afyer all, they were all important battle representatives.

For modt if not all, their auras stacked—blue sun energy harvested in crystal rings, demon contracts etched on wrists, divine sparks from who-knows-where.

They moved as one swarm, humming with power thick enough to taste.

With the current strength that the Eighth Earth had, it could dominate any faction in the cosmos.

After all, its influence extended to the City of Pep, to hell, the Kalu empire, the gods, and many more powerhouse that had now afflicted with them.

Of course this rapid growth was due to the pressure of even more powerful enemies. Regardless, earth could finally say that it had forged its own path into the future.

Odin was also here, but he was more reserved than he usually had been.

Like the lenny family, he also had his own protegies within the hundred—very fear inducing lads that would not hesitate to tear at their own flesh or that of a comrade if the need were to arise.

Then again, not all of earth could be perfect.

The rest of the Lenny family had either gone for missions or in seclusion, promising they would come in time before the big events occurred.

Soon, they had arrived.

Father Black thrust a fist skyward.

"Michael! A Century's up! We're ready!"

The sky—well, the black—ripped open. Heaven's Gate bloomed: pearl-white, miles tall, edges singing crystal hymns. Light poured out, warm and sickeningly pure.

The kids behind him whispered, "That's it?"

"Wow. So incredible.

Its so beautiful. "

"Looks… small."

"Hmmm, it smells like church on fire."

Each one of them had their own compliments about the pearl whites. Or prejudice of it.

After all, after what happened a hundred years ago, Heaven mo longer enjoyed its fulfilling reputation.

Even the kingdom of Pepsodent now preached the acceptance of people into the False heaven created by Solomon that Sustained its evaluating peace by us of the evalasting Abyss.

The gates of heaven swung wide.

Then.

First came the trumpet—Gabriel's, low and trembling.

Then the host stepped through. Angels. Rows and rows. Wings like cathedral glass. Armor like polished mercy.

Many if not most did not possess humanoid features.

In fact, a good number of them were just eyes with wings.

Or strange angular figures with... yes. Wings.

They didn't fly—they glided on silence, eyes locked on the ragtag humans who'd once begged for 100 years.

Once again, many of those behind Father Black had comments about this.

Most had seen the old footages of when Heaven had arrived 100 years ago. However, it was nothing compared to seeing it now and live for themselves.

Some gasped, some swallowed. Some could not wait to sink their fists into an angel's face.

One guy even clapped weirdly.

But one thing was sure. All of them were here because of them.

Of Course Lucifer, the one that had made the old sun, now his second home, watched with interest.

To say the last 100 years had not been interesting would be a lie.

Of course, he had not been idle throughout that time.

Michael Morningstar led the angels, sword already glowing, face unreadable.

Father Black grinned, beard twitching. Let's see if Heaven still thinks we're ants.
