Chapter 33

(Rizevim Interlude.)

Getting downstairs to my dungeons, I go to the holding cell of my latest toy. He is already screaming and I haven't even done anything yet. Let's hope he can keep that lively attitude during our fun time.

"Please! I will do anything!" Hearing his pleas puts a smile on my face.

I pulled a random number generator to select a country, then I had Euclid hack into their database to randomly choose my next toy.

Alan Walker, an unsuccessful author of a book series. Recently divorced, I am used to backgrounds like this at this point.

"What do you want from me?"

"Well, you see Mr. Walker. There hasn't been anything fun to do ever since the cease-fire." I broke one of his fingers, ahh the melody never gets old. "I can't just snag an Angel off the streets and play with it because they're in limited numbers now." I break another finger. " And my own kind decided being evil wasn't good enough hehe WE'RE FUCKING DEVILS, OF COURSE, WE'RE GOING TO BE EVIL!"

"Oh, dear I killed him accidentally. Well, it was getting boring anyway." I'll have Euclid kidnap his ex-wife next then.

..

While humans are weak, miserable, and mostly annoying. But I must admit they have their moments, 4chan may have been the best thing they invented.

Yes, this is what I do. Torture some random fellow, catch up to the latest anon stories and do internal monologues. The last one is required to be evil.

"Euclid stop mopping and get me some mountain dew." I call out to my aide.

He has been throwing knives at that Merlin kid's photos. Apparently, his sister adopted him or something. Poor thing still thinks she's being held captive, I keep him around to enjoy his delusions.

"Right away Lord Lucifer." His loyalty is commendable as well.

..

"Sigh mother, what am I going to do with you. It's been over 500 years, I tried everything. Why won't you wake up." I glance at my mother's comatose form.

She's been like this ever since dad died. I tried everything at my disposal. If she was awake underworld wouldn't have become like this.

Although the latest attempt for civil war was cute, they didn't plan it through. What were they thinking? Those two super devils would just sit back and watch it?

Sighing I went back to my throne and sat down. "I am bored, I wish something fun would happen."

"My lord! You must see this!" Euclid comes back with a paper. I asked for mountain dew...

..

Hahahaha! Other worlds exist! Euclid and his merry band of scientists detected a new world!

According to Euclid, there have been multiple dimensional events in the last two years. It took them the third to pinpoint it to a person. That Merlin kid has a ticket to another world... Another world to play, to conquer. I might even get to act like a demon lord hahahaha!

"Euclid, we must get this kid. Use everything we have at our disposal. Contact to those Old Satan Farts if you must."

"Yes my lord."

"Why don't I help you with that Rizevim?" Hearing that voice I stiffened.

The benefits of making this hideout in the realm of the dead were bigger than putting it anywhere in the world. The biggest risk was the brother-sister primordial gods living here, not that bag of bones.

But luckily Nyx and Erebus were too busy containing Tartarus to bother me which was the main reason for my choice of location.

"What brought you to my humble abode Lady Nyx?" I smile at one of the people who can kill me in this world.

I may be a super devil as well but my father made me intending to fight with grandfather's toys, not primordial gods. I am simply underequipped.

"I asked a question."

"Ah yes, why not. It will save me the resources but I am curious what has he done to draw your ire?"

"He is been doing something with Malice, it got Tartarus agitated." I wince, not even I am stupid enough to mess with Malice in the air. I am more interested in increasing it but I have no intentions of absorbing it.

"He will be going to Yomi to meet with that pedophile. I will bait him here, don't mess this up." With that Nyx leaves.

"Well Euclid, start cleaning. We're having visitors."

"Yes my lord."

"Also where is my mountain dew!?"

"Right away my lord!"

..

(Nyx POV)

I spat after leaving that sickening place. That kid has some loose screws in his head. That Merlin kid slipped up and drew his attention and I have to clean it up!

Like I don't have enough problems, now I have to watch his back... I sigh, this is worth it. He might be able to fix Tartarus's problem. I have noticed a slight decrease in the malice of the world.

It made Tartarus calmer, although not calm enough to relax, it gave me and my brother enough room to breathe and look for the source of the decrease.

It traces back to that Merlin, I sent some of my minions to inspect him. I have a feeling he noticed but didn't care, and I saw his plans up close. If he can make this, Tartarus could finally be free.

I can finally be free! All I need to do is make sure he doesn't die before he finishes that dungeon.

I tap into my familiars' eyes, only to find Merlin holding it in his hands grinning at it. "Wow, such familiar much invisible."

'You need him, calm down...' "I am trusting you, Merlin... Don't fuck this up."

..

(Merlin POV)

I released the 'invisible' familiar, that thing was interesting. It was more interesting than the Grim Reapers and their replica Hades' cap of invisibility I stole when I dealt with Samael.

I am quite aware that it belongs to Nyx, normally I would be apprehensive but after I learned about her story here which was different than LN. I figured she wants my help with Tartarus.

Fighting a hentai(?) tentacle monster for years must have been mortifying. I don't mind helping her, after all, Tartarus is the second-largest source of malice.

Fou-kun can take him down as his debut to the world and get some reputation for himself.

"Merlin-sama, I was looking at the schedule you gave me but are you just giving an hour per day to your women." Ravel comes in with papers in her hand.

I gave her my current schedule and my plans (at least the ones I will do in public) so she can rearrange them.

"Ravel-chan I have time manipulation. I can stretch that hour into years."

"Oh, sorry I just wanted to ask." She blushes and leaves.

She didn't even ask about my meeting with Izanami but she's curious about how much time I am spending on my women. Such a dutiful manager.

Yes, Yasaka sent some of her men to give me an official letter. I am allowed to go into Yomi and talk with Izanami at some point.

There's even a little letter from Izanagi asking me to give her. He is sorry about everything it seems. I feel like I am going to dive into some family drama but whatever.

Too bad I can't meet her right away since she has a tight schedule. It seems it isn't only Amaterasu who can't get a break from work.
