Chapter 504 - Beelzebub

New Chapter for the Highest Tier (May 2021)

*********************************************

The Archdemon of Gluttony

Prince Ravin from the First Circle of Hell

*********************************************

Ravin had flown towards the small plateau where the other Archangel stood with his hands behind his back, scanning his gaze below with an air of authority as if he was overlooking the territory which belonged to him or which shall belong to him in the future.

Ravin trudged towards his father before he became the Demon King.

Who was he when he used to be Archangel Lucifer?

Ravin should be visiting his Amare in her prison cell so that he could get her from the Grand Torturer, but this memory proved itself to be more interesting. 

What deep, dark secrets and lies did an Archangel turned Archdemon hold?

A slow smile was plastered on his lips.

Ravin couldn't wait to find out as he settled beside Archangel Lucifer, staring below at the expanse of the enormous fields, meadows and a variety of trees.

It appeared like his father was waiting for someone.

It turned out that someone was Beelzebub, and he landed behind them so silently that Ravin could barely hear the beat of his wings and the sharp blasts of wind as he flapped them.

Ravin was taught in Archdemon History that Beelzebub was good at dispatching God's Archangels during the Angelic War. 

Well-known as a great assassin, Beelzebub used to be a Seraphim, a lesser Angel than Lucifer in terms of power, before he turned into a Fallen Angel.

The Demon King Lucifer promised Beelzebub to assume the title of the Archdemon of Gluttony and rule the First Circle of Hell after all the fallen angels and demons alike were captured by God's Archangels, trapping all of the evil spirits, demons, fallen angels to Hell. 

When Ravin was born, the Demon King desired to make Ravin his son, the Archdemon of Gluttony, so he betrayed Beelzebub and destroyed his own ally.

He also killed Asmodeus, who was replaced by Luxen, as the Archdemon of Lust.

He perfectly understood the Demon King about this.

The people who helped you usurp someone who sits rightfully on the throne will also be the very same person who would betray you if they think you weren't good enough as their leader and not deemed fit for the position.

These fallen angels could steal legions right under your nose, and they wouldn't be sorry.

It was better to kill than be killed.

It would be a long time before those ancient Archdemons regenerate from the deepest pits of Hell where even Archdemons and the rest didn't dare venture out—the Eighth and the Ninth Circle of Hell. 

It was the right choice since no other Fallen Archangel would dare challenge him of his reign.

Beelzebub stood on the right side of Archangel Lucifer while Ravin stood on the left side.

They weren't aware of his presence as a spectre that it made him smirk in amusement.

Who would have thought that both the past and the current Archdemon of Gluttony stood in the same place with the same person who exchanged their fates together on a whim?

Turning his head to Archangel Lucifer, who watched the majestic nighthawks flying in the distance, the  previous Archdemon of Gluttony asked, "Did you convince Archangel Uriel to side with us?"

Archangel Lucifer laughed at his query.

Ravin doubted if Beelzebub understood the slight mockery, "I did not try to tell him of our plans, Beelzebub." It made sense.  All the Archangels during this time were sharp and hypersensitive over their fellow Light Beings' words due to the rising rebellion of the Fallen Watchers and the Nephilims. "But, I did plant the idea in his head to pursue the woman he was with regardless of the future consequences."

"I couldn't sense his presence in the garden anymore." Beelzebub said darkly—a devilish smile plastered on his face. "So he is gone to travel with the lady?"

"He was on board with the idea on the guise of keeping an Earthly Creature safe." Lucifer's tone was sarcastic. It was one of the missions of an Archangel—-"

"To watch over the weak." Archangel Beelzebub finished for him. 

"Archangel Uriel was incredibly devoted to his Master so I highly doubt that he would betray God and turn into a Fallen Archangel like us."

"Oh." Beelzebub raised an eyebrow. "So he didn't intend stay with the woman even if he left his post like you suggested?"

Lucifer gave him a sideways glance as he straightened his posture. "That can change. It is too early to tell since Archangel Uriel didn't promise his woman anything. You know how the women from the Earthly Realms do when they become too enamored with Angels on Earth. Some are creative enough to seduce if they don't get attention. ome women just loved to play with fire when they see some 'gregori' have acquired Fae lovers of their own."

"Innocent or not, I have seen the woman  do that to Uriel beforehand." Lucifer raised his chin, returning his gaze to the fields.

His lips curved upward in a small smile.  "It would only be a matter of time before the stoic Archangel would be tempted. I am nearly tempted to claim her myself. She is beautiful with that angelic face and alluring body." His voice deepened into a growl.

Lucifer's hands clenched briefly and released as if he already imagined the red-haired woman in his arms. "I can understand why Archangel Uriel was smitten with her."

"No." Beelzebub woke him up from his lustful daydream. "It's not time for you to become a Fallen Archangel, Lucifer."

"It's not time yet but it's almost there. God just needed to notice and declare war against the one third of His own Angels in Heaven I have convinced to join the Angelic War while we join forces with the 'gregori' here on Earth." Lucifer promised.  "We can't return to the Heavens for now so Earth would be ours. And then, if we successfully conquered this Realm, I will lead us to ascension in Heaven and raise my throne above the stars of God. I will be the Most High."
