***

Lucifer stood in a dark room that was lit only by a few torches. The room was under the most powerful barrier Lucifer was capable of. It was close to the Dark Source - the Dark Throne - and as such, the structure of the barrier was constantly being infused with the Power of the Source.

Therefore, this barrier will stand until you destroy the Source. And its destruction will serve as the destruction of the entire Underworld....

Lucifer lightly stroked the skin of his beloved, the Progenitor of All Demons - Lilith. Although she was the third being in power in this world, equal to the Dragon Gods, but the sealing of the Source took a lot of strength from her. Especially still after giving birth...

The power of the Dark Throne after the birth of Rizevim flowed towards the barely born baby. Perhaps because of Lucifer's kinship with the Source, or perhaps for some other reason, but it could have killed young Rizevim. So Lilith, giving her last Powers, sealed the Source so that such an incident with their son would not happen to anyone else...

But the Demon Progenitor was too weakened...

Lucifer ran his hand over her delicate cheekbones with a warm smile on his face. It was probably the only place where he showed his vulnerability and the love inherent in all Angels...

- My love,' Lucifer whispered softly and affectionately, 'You wanted to build a new world with me here in Hell. Where all our children, including Rizevim, could see and comprehend this world. So that they could stand against the Light of my proud papa. But...' Lucifer sighed, 'I don't know if I'm doing the right thing, leaving them to sail free, but... I want to believe....

- I've sealed the link between Rizevim and the Source. Even when he ascends to the position of Lord of Hell after me, he won't be able to receive the Power of the Throne. I don't want him to die because of the influence of Darkness, I don't want him to suffer the same fate as you... - Lucifer wanted to start crying, but held himself back, - I hope you will understand me....

Silence.

Lilith said nothing.

- My love, we'll be together soon. Wherever you are, I will find you even in the Abyss,' he stroked Lilith's cold cheeks with the outer side of his palm, 'I have to go....

Lucifer stepped out of his barrier and immediately a light struck his eyes. The spatial barrier that is located in the depths of Hell, where Lilith lies, immediately transported him to the castle.

It was time for him to...

First, to make a fiery speech to the assembled troops, and then....

Kill the God of the Bible.

***

The day before these events took place.

- Glad you're not too late,' Lucifer said, sitting on his throne, looking at his personal Servants.

- You're welcome, Lord Lucifer,' Lord Lucifer said, standing on one knee with his head down, Lord Lucifug replied, with his children Euclid and Greyfia Lucifug behind him in the same position.

A man in his forties with silver long hair and the same colour eyes, adorned in his rich black coloured Servant robes.

- I wish to address all of you. Without exception,' Lucifer said quietly, but so that he could be heard, looking round at all his Servants.

Lords of House-Slug Agarealept, Satanakia, Flureti, Sargatanas, Nebiros, headed by Lucifug raised their anxious gaze towards the Demon Progenitor. Although their Lord is skilfully hiding it, but they can see that he is nervous. What is it that frightens the Great Lucifer, the First Fallen, the Killer of Gods and the Sower of Destruction?

- I want to give you my last order as your Master,' Lucifer emphasised his words.

Now all the servants and their children, who had them, raised their eyes to the Lord of Hell.

- I will kill the God of the Bible.

There was absolute silence.

Everyone listened to each other's hearts pounding.

- But I will sacrifice my life.

Everyone also silently, but already in a shocked state looked at Lucifer. The servants were aware that they were not worthy to interrupt their Ruler. They shouldn't. The order to speak was not given....

- Therefore,' there was a second pause, 'you will swear an oath to the next Lord of Hell. To the one who will sit on this throne,' Lucifer said, tapping the handle of the throne with his fingers.

Silence again.

- Ask questions.

Everyone gave a fleeting glance.

- Ahem, I apologise, Lord, but...is it not your son, Lord Rizevim, we are to swear an oath to? - Lord Lucifug asked.

Gritting his heart, Lucifer replied:

- No, not my son. If he proves unworthy of the Throne, he will choose his own path to follow. As I once did,' Lucifer said, barely keeping a calm face.

- Rizevim will become Lord of Hell after my death anyway, but whether he will be able to absorb the Power of the Source depends only on him, - Lucifer turned his head to Lord Lucifug, - Your House will stay with Rizevim, you will help him.

- Yes, Lord - answered Lord Lucifug, barely restraining his emotions.

- Euclid, - Lucifer turned to his son.

- Yes, My Lord? - He raised his head, also hiding his emotions.

A handsome young man in his teens with silver hair that was braided into a long thin braid. He was dressed in the same Servant robes as his father.

- You will be my son's personal Servant,' Lucifer smiled, seeing Euclid shaking with joy.

- Yes, My Lord. I will justify your trust,' Euclid sank to his other knee, resting his forehead on the floor.

- Little Greyfia is still small, so you will not be able to accommodate her. Answer me, Greyfia,' the beautiful girl with silver hair raised her grey eyes, 'What do you really want?

The girl was dressed the same as her father and brother. Black noble robes showed off her narrow waist and small breasts. Her silver hair was loose and fell down her back.

She glanced at her father and brother, they gave her a brief nod, and Greyfia spoke:

- I... wish to stay with my family. But if your wish is for me, as Lucifug, your loyal Servant, to find a worthy one, then I...

- Yes, that's what I want,' Lucifer interrupted her, looking into the girl's slightly rounded eyes, 'If something happens...find your own happiness, Greyfia Lucifug. Let the worthy find you himself,' Dennica said with unusual warmth.

Greyfia, still in shock, barely audibly replied:

- Yes, as you command.

- You can wait for the next Heir, or you can choose your own Lord, whom you deem worthy to rule Hell.

Again the usual silence. But this time Lucifer looked towards Lord Satanakia. He was dressed in luxurious white robes with gold piping, with a demonic sword, the Cursed One, hanging from his belt. One half of his short hair was white, the other half black. Black eyes without pupils radiated calmness and devotion, as befitted a Servant of Lucifer.

- Ask,' the Demon Lord saw the question in his Servant's eyes and let him speak.

- You said that we can choose our own heir, but ... how? - asked a question of interest to all the demons in the hall.

Lucifer smiled slyly.

- You will understand. Your feelings will say everything for you. Still...you are not will-less puppets....

***

Somewhere in the distance, a battle was taking place. Many screams could be heard. Pain, despair, anger, hatred - these emotions are, one could say, the most dainty for any Demon. Due to these feelings of outsiders, many are able to become stronger in such carnage - one of the main reasons why the Pillars were here.

Venelana watched the movements of the troops under her brother Lelouch's command. After all, no matter how powerful a master is, they are useless without strong Servants to carry his will. Her small army consisted of five hundred Dragons that were led by Dragons, the same number of hundreds of Low, Middle, and High Class Demons, as well as several armies of subordinate OWLs. Not all of them, of course. But they are already commanded by the heads of the clans themselves, although Venelana acts as the commander-in-chief, with Balam and Khan as her assistants. The total strength of the whole army is nine thousand.

Although she was the strongest in the army, but she had no experience in a full-scale battle. Therefore, the experienced warriors, Dilor Balam and Khan Numirah, would help her. This was the order of their Master - Lelouch Lamperouge. Roigan, on the other hand, is somewhere among the mass of Inferiors under illusion and disguise. Kimimaro, on the other hand, is also standing near Venelana, doing his duty as Lamperouge's personal Servant, so he is protecting the former Bael.

Venelana was dressed in her grey battle dress, which was covered in thin plates of Albion scales. It didn't restrain movement in the right places, but even so her magnificent figure and form could be seen.

Venelana turned her head to the left to get a better look at the head of the Balam clan. Full stone skin that strengthened her body - a Clan ability. Black eyes with no pupils, obscure cloth shorts and no shoes.

Venelana, the strongest; Dilor Balam, the most experienced; Khan, Counsellor Lamperouge, who can both defend and attack with his ability. In short, an indispensable Demon. The world-conquering company was assembled, one would have thought, but no.

They were currently at the furthest corner of the battle. Rather, purely formally, to show that 'we' were here. But they weren't. Thanks to Magnus's intel he'd gleaned from the Fallen camp and told Han, the Lamperuj knew there would be an ambush.

One of their army's sensors ran up to the company. He knelt before Lamperouge and reported:

- 'The Fallen are moving in our direction, Mistress. They will be here soon,' one of the Inferiors said, not daring to look up at the High.

- Good. Announce the readiness of the small ambush parties,' Venelana ordered, not even turning to look at the Inferior.

- Yes, Mistress,' he turned and disappeared into the teleportation circle.

- Announce Dilor's readiness, Han. Kimimaro, you stay with me and cover me,' Venelana said again in a commanding tone.

- Aye!' said Han and Dilor at the same time, activating the circles of communication near their ears.

- I am the Sword and Shield of House Lamperouge. Your word is law, My Lady,' Kimimaro bowed sincerely and humbly, but this time Venelana turned to him.

- I know, Kim. Lelouch-san will not abandon you, nor will I,' Venelana said with a thin smile, addressing him by his short nickname on the battlefield.

- 'Yes, thank you,' Kimimaro bowed even more strongly. Those words went straight to his soul, making Kaguya feel warmer. After all, he wasn't alone anymore...

- There they are,' Venelana said, looking at the numerous teleportation circles that had formed a kilometre away from their mountain ledge.

Roughly the same number of Fallen as Venelana's army. The generals only came out at the end and among them was Magnus, who was looking around a bit wildly.

It was clear now how this Fallen had learnt of the attack. Lelouch subdued him with Gias, so I'm sure he's on our side. No matter how powerful Azazel is, he can't remove the Curse of Gias. I have to admit, Gias makes you realise who you can trust. A very useful Power...

The Fallen One, who was the last to come out, had an incredible thirst for killing and Aura. He was tall, wearing a dark cloak, with long black hair and pointed ears. Red eyes with an insane smile that showed off sharp teeth. Fallen Angel of War, former Seraphim, one of the strongest Generals - Cockabiel.

- Ho?! - Cockabiel arched an eyebrow as he took a quick look at the army and focused his attention on Venelan, 'Looks like you guys are going to have a lot of fun today,' the Fallen One said loudly, amplifying his voice with magic, and nodded towards Lamperouge.

The Fallen laughed and began to devour Venelana with a stare so intense it looked like they were going to undress her right there. At this, her fists clenched violently and marks appeared on her beautiful face. A bright red Aura began to form around Lamperouge, causing her clothes to begin to disperse in different directions.

- Madam, calm down, he's trying to piss you off,' Kimimaro said quietly, not taking his eyes off Kokabiel, 'He'll get his. Magnus's trap will snap, and you can get even with him.

Venelana, as if remembering her importance as Mr Lelouch's hands, pulled herself together and calmed down.

- Thank you,' Venelana thanked Kimimaro, to which he nodded slightly, "I'll have to teach you some manners with a lady, Koko," Venelana returned the Fallen with a wry smile.

At his new address, which he had heard more than once from Azazel and Lucifer, Cockabiel instantly flashed Aura. All those standing nearby stepped back a few metres. His Aura was literally pounding anyone who wasn't able to withstand it into the ground.

- Girl, I'm going to stomp you into the ground and then give you to the boys to rape you so that you'll be begging for more! - Cockabiel threw out angrily.

Venelana didn't react to this in any way, but only continued to smile echidically. She made a few discreet passes with her hands, giving some sort of signal, and then said:

- Then why don't you start? You're just talking,' Venelana's Power of Destruction flashed with a pleased grin, and the Fallen troops immediately began to stir and whisper.

- The Power of Destruction? - Cockabiel stretched out, taking a new look at his rival, 'Interesting. Very interesting. It's been a long time since I've fought anyone with Bael's blood in them,' Cockabiel grinned madly, and flashed an Aura of gold and grey, while wearing an armour made entirely of the Power of Light.

- But before we start the fun...' Cockabiel began, and everyone listened to him, which made it quiet for a moment, "I hate traitors, especially among my own kind..." he began.

He created massive spears of Light and threw them at Magnus's personal squad that was to attack from the back. Most of the army followed him. Those who had time to realise what was happening immediately put up protective barriers and covered themselves with their wings, and the rest....

Many explosions sounded, in which various swearing and shouting could be heard. The pitiful remnants of Magnus's squad, already consisting of a hundred and fifteen hundred fallen, flew out of the smoke.

- How did he know? - Venelana thought in shock, 'Is there a traitor among Magnus's fallen?

Cockabiel continued to smirk as he saw the rest of the squad fly over to Venelana's side.

- Now we can begin,' Cockabiel grinned happily, 'Fight!

He was followed by the joyous shouts of the Fallen, who had already rushed into battle. Venelan's forces reacted only at Han's command:

- Barriers! - Khan shouted, creating a wall of sand from his gourd behind his back.

At his order, the front line, consisting mostly of Middle Class demons, put up protective barriers. All forms of Light attack spells immediately flew at them, but few barriers held, and the breakthrough began. Cockabiel's forces broke into small groups that responded to small sections of the battle. The obvious experience in numerous battles was telling.

But then Balam's forces moved into the areas of the breach. Their tough skin could withstand the heavy attacks from the spears, albeit with great difficulty. Light Spears flew towards the ambush regiment hidden under the illusory barrier behind the hill. The huge explosion and screams of pain were a clear factor in hitting exactly the target.

- Kimimaro! Take a squad from Balam's army with you and support Magnus. If this continues, there will be nothing left of him,' Venelana exclaimed, pulling herself together.

- But Mistress... - Kaguya wanted to start arguing, but he was interrupted.

- Execute! That's an order! I can do it,' Venelana said, either to him or to herself.

- I obey,' Kimimaro replied with a heavy heart, and spreading his eight wings, soared into the air.

- Are you, girl, alone? - Kokabiel asked, pulling the head off another demon.

- I alone am enough to finish you off,' Venelana replied coldly, forming a burgundy Aura of Destruction Force.

- Hmm, the last Bael I fought didn't have such a dense Aura,' Cockabiel said thoughtfully, but immediately cheered up, 'That's more interesting!

The fallen man in the bright armour of Light lunged at Venelana, straight into her raging Aura of Destruction Force that swirled around her. Lamperouge created a huge arrow near her chest and mentally sent it to Cockabiel, who responded with his own arrow of Light. Their Powers collided with each other and then dispersed without a winner.

Cockabiel, with a mad smile, immediately created a sword out of Light and went straight for Venelana, ignoring the Force of Destruction eating away at his armour. He attacked Venelana from the left side and struck her with his sword, while Sister Leloucha put up her arm in defence, covered in the Force of Destruction that was eating away at the Force of Light.

Lamperouge shoved the Fallen away from her with her Aura, into which she poured even more energy, forcing the former Seraphim to retreat. Venelana pushed herself off the ground and went after Cockabiel, who clearly hadn't expected such a thing from the Demon.

She strengthened her body with demonic energy and struck directly at Cockabiel's armour, which cracked slightly from the impact. The fallen man flew far down and hit the ground in such a way that a five metre long funnel formed around him. But no sooner had Cockabiel exhaled than it didn't take long for Venelana to launch another attack.

The Power of Destruction reached Cockabiel again, and then his armour of Light disintegrated.

- The armour takes too much energy. It was only the second time he'd used it, but it didn't last five minutes against the Force of Destruction. Damn it!' Cockabiel cursed to himself as he watched Venelana attack again.

Venelana, with an impassive expression on her face, began to create her final attack. Her violet eyes were turning a red hue with each passing second....

- Just how strong is this girl! - Cockabiel thought to himself as he prepared to fend off the attack, but even though he was seriously injured, the Fallen One stood with a wide feral grin.

Her right hand was covered in concentrated Force of Destruction, and all the nearby land was instantly destroyed into corpse. She took it to the side and swung it, after which her Force simply disappeared.....

For a while...

Kokabiel felt a powerful demonic energy above him and no sooner had he raised his head than a huge sized hammer consisting of the Power of Destruction struck him.

The huge explosion threw all the Fallen and Demons back several hundred metres. The concentration of energy was so great that everyone stopped fighting for a few tens of seconds and put up protective barriers to avoid being killed by the huge Aura of Destruction Force. It was destroying everything in its path. The Force of Destruction didn't care about obstacles in the form of mountains, hills, rocks, it destroyed it all, turning it into dust.

Venelana, covering herself with her sleeve from the dust, could barely stand on her feet anymore:

- This attack took a lot more mana than I bargained for. The absorption of the magic stone didn't make my control any worse, but because of the sheer volume of the attack, my control went straight to the Abyss!' Lamperouge was about to collapse if Kimimaro hadn't come to her side and put his shoulder on her, to which she nodded gratefully.

In all the chaos and confusion, no one noticed the Fallen, who had already flown up to their leader and sent numerous spears of Light at Venelana. She could no longer fight back on her own, but she had help.

Dilor put his body under the attacks as a shield. Kimimaro covered Venelana from the front with bone armour, and Han created Black Sand around them. None of the Fallen's attacks reached Lamperouge.

The wounded Kokabiel emerged from the crater that Venelana had hit, aided by his subordinates. His body was soaked in blood, his entire face had turned into an incomprehensible mincemeat of meat, and his wings were burnt, with only three instead of ten.

- It...it...it hurt...it really hurt...' said Cockabiel slowly, grunting, 'What's your name, girl?

When an opponent asks your name during a fight, it can mean many things. But now the Fallen recognised the girl's strength and asked her name as a sign of respect. Cockabiel, though insane, had earned his fame as an honest warrior in battle, so Venelana, even though she wanted to crush his blunt black with her own hands....

- Venelana. Venelana Lamperouge,' Lelouch's sister replied, adopting a more relaxed pose without Kimimaro's help.

- Lamperouge? - I will remember you, Venelana Lamperouge, Princess of Doom and Destruction,' the Fallen One immediately nicknamed her.

Venelana only raised her head even more.

- Let's go! - Cockabiel ordered and all the Fallen disappeared in a bright flash of Light.

Venelana fell to her knees after Cockabiel had gone.

- Mistress!' Kimimaro and Han rushed to her, but Lamperouge stopped them with an outstretched hand.

- It's all right. I need time to catch my breath,' Han and Kimimaro looked at each other and stepped back, letting Dilor step forward, 'Check the condition of the troops, then survey the area. If all is well, we'll set up camp right here,' Venelana rose to her feet and was once again the same proud and strong Lamperouge whose one word is law.

- It will be done, Mistress,' the stone Demon immediately bowed and teleported away.

In the same instant, some girl in the female uniform of the Inferiors of Lelouch's army, making up the black and purple robes, appeared in the clearing. Her fitted costume showed off all of her gorgeous body curves, and her gorgeous pink hair fluttered in the wind. A white mask of smiling eyes and a black thin mouth hid her face.

She immediately wanted to approach Venelana as she was stopped by Kimimaro.

- Inferior, how dare you come and-' Kimimaro began, but he was interrupted.

- Kimimaro! - Venelana said reproachfully, waving her hand imperiously, 'Such an attitude towards the Lord's servants is unacceptable for his Knight. Remember that! - Venelana glared at Kaguya.

- Yes, please forgive me,' Kimimaro immediately knelt down, 'I will take it to heart and I will not disgrace the honour of the Lamperouge clan again.

Venelana, knowing who was now under the mask of a mere Nether, said this openly to Kimimaro. If someone else from the army were here, she would not have made that remark.

The Inferior, as if not noticing this, removed her mask and approached Venelana with a slight smile.

- 'Forgive me for my impertinence, Lady Belphegor,' Kaguya bowed again, his face red with embarrassment, but already to Roigan.

- It's okay, Kimimaro, it's okay,' Roygan smiled her warm and sincere smile, and her beautiful dark blue eyes turned back to Lamperouge.

Without saying anything else, she placed her hand on her chest and created a Rift first on herself and then on Lelouch's sister. Thus, with her birth ability, she absorbed her mana and transferred it to Venelana. Lamperouge felt much better and she exhaled in relief. So they would have continued doing nothing if they hadn't heard the Dragon Roar....

The dragons, along with the rest of the dragons, instinctively shrank back and tried to find a place to hide. The instinct of self-preservation overpowered the Power of Gyas.

A White-coloured Dragon Gate appeared in the sky and the real Dragons - Emperors - flew out from there...

The huge twenty metre tall Red Dragon Emperor Ddraig fought his thousand year old opponent of the same size but white in colour Albion.

The Red spewed his mighty God-killing Flames from his huge maw towards Albion, who immediately reflected the Fire with his Fission ability, capable of absorbing and suppressing any attack.

The Dragons didn't pay attention to their surroundings, they just kept fighting, involuntarily releasing Aura, causing the Demon Armies to fall to their knees from the pressure. Venelana, Roigan, Kimimaro, and Han were the only Demons who didn't succumb to the Dragons' Aura and continued to stand.

Those damned Dragons have become so mad and insolent that they're already sticking their necks out just to keep fighting. I must stop them before my army, which my brother entrusted to me, is destroyed. I'm sorry, Lelouch, but it seems that the last resort has come....

Venelana, gathering her strength, took out a stone that was overflowing with magical Power from her spatial pocket.

- Venelana! Stop!' Roigan managed to shout out, realising what Lamperouge wanted to do, before a more powerful Aura than before began to emanate from Venelana....

Every muscle in my body fills with Power, my source begins to replenish and goes into a new stage, becoming even greater. I feel like I can do anything! But what will be the consequences...? No, I can handle it, I won't die here from too much energy, I still have to help Lelouch, to make the Clan great, to make us feared and respected like Lucifer. So that he can achieve his goal for us.... For that is my brother's wish! And I will do everything I can to help him achieve his goal, as his loyal Servant, as his loyal...wife...

The Aura of Destruction Force erupted with much more force than it had when fighting Cockabiel. Venelana's Aura seemed to devour the very air, leaving nothing living from the known Universe. Lamperuj's veins became visible to the skin and grew redder from the circulation of the Force of Destruction through the channels. Venelana's eyes became blood-coloured, matching her bloodline ability.

A huge pillar of energy struck the sky, and a scream erupted from the depths of the maroon cocoon, echoing over the roars of the Dragons in the sky, causing them to decide to turn their attention downwards.

- DIE-EE-EE-EE-EE-EE-EE!!! - Venelana shouted, putting almost all of her Force into one massive arrow that was already heading towards the White Emperor.

Albion covered himself only slightly with his wings, not using his Absorption ability, and immediately paid for his decision, as the Power of Destruction passed through the wing, leaving only a small hole, and went straight into the Dragon's belly.

There was an explosion, and the whole huge body of the Dragon was covered with smoke. And when the smoke cleared, everyone could see the huge wound on his belly. The Emperor roared in pain and the smell of burning began to emanate from his body, after which Albion slowly spiralled to the ground.

Ddraig, on the other hand, was in a state of prostration at this time. Some Demon had nearly mortally wounded the White Dragon Emperor and his eternal rival, whom he himself was unable to damage so badly. But his musings were interrupted when a new guest arrived on the battlefield through the Dragon Gate....

- DDRA-A-A-A-YG!!! - roared a new twelve-metre tall, blue-coloured Dragon onto the battlefield.

The Dragon's scales resembled the colour of the sky, and its large eyes were a dark shade of indigo. One of the Five Dragon Kings, the Dragon of Karma was Tiamat. And riding on top of her was...

- Look, it's the Lord!

- Our Lord has arrived on the battlefield with the Dragon King!

- Lord Lelouch!

- Our Lord has arrived. Victory will be ours!!!

- HOORAY!!!

A young Demon of handsome appearance with black hair and lilac eyes wearing his battle armour was on top of the Dragon King with a worried look, surveying the battlefield.

As soon as he saw his sister's Aura disappearing, he rushed towards her, leaving Tiamat to Ddraig. Lelouch swooped down and found himself standing before an exhausted Venelana, who was as white as chalk.

Lelouch's sister, feeling her brother's touch, opened and revealed her bright beautiful violet eyes. Seeing Lelouch, she only smiled slightly and said:

- 'B-Brother,' Venelana wheezed, trying to touch the face of Lelouch, who was holding back his tender feelings inside, as he didn't want to show 'weakness' in front of his subordinates.

- Venelana! Stupid woman! Why! Why did you swallow him?! - A tear traitorously slipped from Lelouch's eye, falling directly onto his sister's cheek, -I...came...we had a plan...we did....

- It was my decision, brother,' Venelana smiled faintly, 'Do you understand, Lelouch? Mine. My own. A decision. I decided to show my determination to you, Lelouch. All for the sake of our goal... - Venelana whispered softly, closing her eyes, and Lamperouge understood her perfectly.

She, Bael's heir, so she was often fiddled with by the Servants and trained to be the future head of the House. She had no opinions of her own, she was just a puppet of Zekram for the background of the other Pillars. Her life was spelled out on paper from beginning to end.

It was only with her brother that she didn't feel that pull on her soul that was inside. She felt free...

But now she was serving again...

But only in the House of Lamperouge.

and only to her brother.

For whom she was willing to defeat armies of thousands, destroy mountains and oceans....

Because.

It's what she wants, it's her choice.

She wants to stay together with her beloved...

Lelouch, suppressing his emotions, ordered:

- Go back to the castle and take care of her,' Lelouch said, looking at Kimimaro and the newly arrived Dilor, 'Secure the main castle during my absence. Don't let anyone into the room but me and the Dantalion healers. If a single hair falls from it, you will all be KILLED! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!

- Yes!' they replied briefly, realising that their Lord was in a difficult time and they would carry out his orders, no matter what the cost.

Lelouch gently lifted Venelana and immediately teleported to the castle, where he laid his sister on his luxurious bed before teleporting back to the battlefield. When Lelouch emerged, Dilor and Kimimaro followed him into the castle, bowing one last time.

Lamperouge, ignoring the furious battle between Tiamat and Ddraig, flew towards the lying Albion. The latter had already begun to open his eyes and stared into the Demon's cold lilac eyes.

- Remember, Albion, the moment of your humiliation. You are not omnipotent, and your pride will destroy you sooner or later. Remember that you are now lying helpless before my feet and I only need to hit you a couple of times to send you to rebirth, - with activated Gias cold voice said Lelouch, looking directly into the blue eyes of the Dragon, - Remember! Be afraid!

Lelouch put his will and Aura into the last words, involuntarily using Gias, causing the White Emperor's eyes to turn red for a moment.

Lelouch flew away from the Dragon, seeing that the Dragon was not reacting to his words in any way. Lamperouge turned his gaze towards Tiamat with Ddraig, where the blue Dragon was losing.

- Into the ground! - Lelouch ordered, looking directly at Ddraig, who as if reluctant, but flew downwards, colliding with the ground.

Lelouch took hold of his eye in pain.

Still, using Gias on Dragons was fraught with serious consequences. Still, the battle was over.

- Go away, Tiamat. You've done everything,' Lelouch said, looking straight at the huge blue Dragon that had its indigo eyes fixed directly on Lamperouge.

- Am I free? - Tiamat asked hopefully and irritated.

- Yes, the deal is done,' Lelouch replied, and behind him appeared the scroll of the Pact, which broke in two, naming the ending.

Tiamat opened the Dragon Gate and disappeared.

Lelouch turned to the army and ordered:

- All troops retreat! We have won!

I still have work to do. It's time to scorch the wings of the insolent bird, or maybe even take them away....

***

A few weeks later. Somewhere on the outskirts of the Underworld. A major battlefield.

- And you're willing to sacrifice everything for this? - The Bible God spoke slowly to his First Son as he realised he could not escape the trap.

- I'll probably make things worse, but yeah...I don't usually plan for hundreds of years like you do, so I do things quickly,' Lucifer said with a grin.

They were completely in the grey space that Lucifer had created specifically to kill Father.

- Even after the fall you haven't lost your Love,' the Biblical God smiled warmly, that even after the sealing of the powerful Dragons seemed to be full of Power and shone brighter than all the stars.

White robes, more like a long plaid, were wrapped around his body and thrown over his left shoulder. Blonde hair the colour of the summer sun was shoulder length where small braids were braided at the ends. Golden eyes without pupils looked at his son with a warm smile.

- And you, I see, are not worried at all. What will happen to the world when the Universe System falls after your death? - Lucifer asked, sitting down on his knees.

- I entrusted it to Michael, he will manage,' God smiled.

- It seems that we both sent all of ours to free voyage, - Lucifer grinned with an incomprehensible intonation.

- Yes,' God nodded, understanding his son's reaction.

Silence. Only the beating of their hearts, inhalations and exhalations, and the way Lucifer scratched his arse were heard.

- But that's not the only reason you dared to kill me....

Lucifer frowned, but remained silent.

- Six hundred and twenty-six years have passed since Lilith's death, my Light-bearer, - the Biblical addressed his son by his old nickname, - And you still haven't forgotten her...

This time Lucifer was not silent....

- Never...never forget...

- You are the loneliest creature in this Universe, my son,' said the God sadly, 'Even the Demons you artificially created have not soothed your bright soul....

- You have done far more than I have done in my entire life.....

Such a revelation shocked Lucifer. He never imagined that he would hear such a thing from his Father....

- You've raised magic dolls into beings in their own right. You, Lucifer Dennitsa, the First Fallen, the Fear of the Gods and the Sower of Destruction, were able to achieve what I have not been able to do for tens of thousands of years. Back in the days when I was the Benefactor.....

Lucifer listened to his Father with wide-open eyes, but he did not look at him, but only smiled warmly at the floor. The hands of the Lord of Hell were trembling, but he managed to restrain himself from crying.

- You were terrible,' Lucifer parried without looking at his Father.

- Ahem, yeah, I guess you know better,' God's eyebrow twitched as he was interrupted, 'But...

Lucifer met his gaze with his Father's golden eyes, 'But-

- 'I have always loved you, my Son. And I will always love you, even on the Other Side of the Chertoge,' God said the last words in this world as space disappeared in a multitude of colours...
