The dark skies of Abyss were already darker by themselves, but due to the Outer Gods presences, they became even darker, resembling rumbling black clouds releasing black, red, and purple lightning constantly. I could even see giant crimson eyes glaring at us from time to time popping out of them.

"It is as if the Outer Gods are slowly terraforming this world…" Lucifer said. "I suppose this is how they assimilate them into their Outer Plane."

"They've done this before?" I asked her.

"Many times, yes…" She nodded. "Well, it isn't as if Hell hasn't devoured worlds itself. Why do you think Planes get so big? We absorb other worlds to nourish our own. We gain new species, new races, new energies, and more souls. The Necrotic Plane, Hell, even the Spiritual Plane, and of course, the most vicious, the Outer Plane… They all require constant nourishment to keep on growing stronger."

"What happens if they don't absorb worlds?" I asked.

"Well, they slowly grow weaker. Eventually you'll have to place the Plane into somewhere, and it won't be able to move across Dimensions as you want…" Lucifer said. "Hell is growing weaker already. We've taken way too long on trying to absorb Genesis."

"You're up for that still?" I asked her, as we flew at lightning speed, crossing kilometers in seconds.

"Of course, it is what will keep my Plane alive…" She said. "But also… Well, we could also do something different, you and me."

"Oh?" I felt slightly interested.

"Do you want hell, Kireina?" Lucifer suddenly asked me out of nowhere.

"Huh?! Is that something you should be asking me out of nowhere?!" I cried.

Suddenly, Mammon summoned himself from my World Realm, taking his demon form and barking at Lucifer angrily.

"Hey Lucifer, you don't have authority over Hell to just gift it away!" Mammon said furiously.

"The other Archdemons have to agree or… Well, be slain." Giggled Lucifer. "I am well aware that they have betrayed me and preferred to obey the Usurpers of Destiny. So we might as well…"

"Are you seriously selling them to me, Lucifer?" I asked. "I'll happily take them down if you want but… Why so nice?"

"Haven't I always been nice to you?" She giggled. "Come on, we're family, right?"

"I feel like you want something out of me, something quite precious." I said while squinting my eyes.

"Fufu, well, aside from sex and maybe a child, I want to become an important part of your allies. After all, you're the lost sister of those bastards dominating the cosmos. The Usurpers of Destiny desire your death because it will bring back the sister they punished." Said Lucifer. "They're a group of powerful Constellations that have continuously expanded their Domain across many Dimensional Clusters."

"Sex and a child…" I felt slightly embarrassed. "O-Okay, I'll think about it. Ahem, you want me to bear it or you…?"

"Any way is fine by me!" She smiled cutely, and then winked at me. "But no rush. Once this is over, we'll have plenty of time to have fun. Right Mammon? I can tell you can hardly wait to have a nice night with her, huh?"

"W-What are you talking about?!" Mammon blushed and barked angrily. "Anyways, enough with your ridiculousness, Lucifer. I am not in a good mood. Did you said you want to join Kireina?! You know I am the leader here, right? I get to decide which demons join or not as her… well, as her husband!"

"Fufu, so cute." Lucifer only giggled some more. "Okay then~ Do I qualify?"

"Hmph, maybe. We'll have to see if we can trust you completely. For all I know, you're plotting to betray us one day." Mammon said. "Kireina don't trust Lucifer too much. She… or he, is someone that has betrayed many before. Her only goal is to assimilate it all to Hell, and maybe kill The One."

"Oh yes, killing my father is a big goal." Nodded Lucifer. "Kireina, will you help me?"

"I dunno, The One is like my uncle… Ervas and Veronica would get really angry if I tried to touch him." I said. "Can't you just get along with him?"

"Ugh…" Lucifer, for the first time, showed an expression of disgust and tiredness. "I can't." She crossed her arms. "I have some scores to settle with him."

"Alright, you do you. I am not going to defend or protect him either." I shrugged. "But let me tell you that Veronica and Ervas are a thing, okay?"

"I know…" She sighed. "I don't want to have any beef with them either. I'll think about this."

"Good girl! Calm down and let's relax while- Ah."

[Kireina, please just check the system messages! There are too many!]

A system message popped up in front of my eyes, and it was with Andromeda's voice. I guess I had not checked the system at all for a tiny whinny bit. But yeah, let's look.

So there's a lot to unpack here, alright.

First of all, kind of lame she had no Traits at all! I guess Outer Gods suck like that. Also the other thing is, I can't absorb their power fully because I can't fucking Rank Up yet.

I NEED to eat a star asap, as big as it can be! And… I think there's a fresh one right below our noses. In the Dark Depths of Abyss.

However, the question now is, should I risk it for the biscuit or wait until we return to Genesis?

Well, with the Maxima Universe stuck between Universes and quite far away from here, I can't stay I am confident enough in my power as I was in the wormhole.

So I need as much power as I can… Might as well take it before others do.
