[Chapter 234] Daddy’s Pissed….

Inside one of the many hells rests a black stone castle on a mountain of red rock. Inside sits a young man on a throne of black stone, gold plating and statues of goat heads covering it. He impatiently taps his fingers on the arm rest, his white eyes glowing with power. Beside him stands a goat eared man, his chin strong and wide, "Master Baphomet, please give them a few more minutes, traveling from across the universe can take a few moments-"

*Bam!*

His fist slams on the throne as a wave of air plows the massive throne room, "They should be here by now! I did not bring up weaklings!"

His eyes flare as blue flames burst to life around him, his horns blazing with the blue heat. His grey suit and red tie shimmer like small waves, as if alive. That's when a red portal appears to his left, shortly followed by several others. Soon, 6 portals appear within the room.

The first portal shakes as a tan skinned lady walks out, curled goat horns on the sides of her face as her yellow eyes dart around the room. Her red suit and black tie hang loosely on her, becoming rather revealing than formal.

She looks up at the throne with a look of confusion, "You called?"

Baphomet's expression suddenly becomes calm as the flames around him extinguish, "Finally…I'm glad you all are arriving. It took you an inexscusable amount of time to get here, you should be disappointed Lust."

She smiles cheekily, "Sorry sir, I'm actually quicker than usual thanks to some special training I have been taking. I will try to work even harder."

He says nothing as he looks back towards the portals, more pressing matters are present now than correcting her. Moments after, a large, round man walks into the room through one of the red portals. He has a purple striped suit on, his large chin and pig like look gazing across the room before reaching the man on the throne.

A grumpy look rests on his face as he speaks, his body jiggling as he slowly walks towards the throne, "Why did you summon me here father? I was just about to have my 5th meal?"

The young man's eyes glare at the fat man as he says one word, "Silence Gluttony, before I rip that fat from your excuse of a body."

The pig of a man falls silent as he stares very nervously at the young master on the throne, his demeanor changing so suddenly. He can tell when his father's pissed, and his voice alone is enough to reveal that.

A few minutes pass before another portal shimmers and out walks a slim man, small horns reaching from his slicked back hair. His suit is purely black, suiting his lean figure and sly eyes. He can immediately feel the tense mood as he walks to the side of his massive brother who towers over his mere 6ft tall figure.

"Hello father, you seem to have some news?"

He nods, "I do Greed, but let's wait for all of your siblings to get here."

Within seconds, 2 more portals shimmer as out walk a man and a women. The man has a shaved head, horns wrapping loosely in circles before pointing outward. One of them is missing the tip of it. His suit is cobalt blue, highlighting his muscular figure. He has a strong jaw and a round head, giving him the image of a sharp tipped egg turned upside down.

The woman has an irritated look on her face, as if everything she looks at is in the wrong hands. She wears a green suit with gold lining, outlining a curvaceous figure. She has brown, shoulder length hair and horns that reach about a foot, matching her sharp facial features but highlighting her mismatched eyes of red and blue.

Before they can say a word, the man on the throne waves them over, "Wrath and Envy, don't start your shit. I have things to discuss with you both."

The face of the bald man turns red but he says nothing as he lines up beside his sister, Lust. However, Envy gets an upset look as she begins to throw a fit, "It's not fair! You guys all have domains to look over yet I am still conquering mine and then I get invited in the middle of the most important battle and then I-"

"I said silence! I will cut your vocal cords if you speak out like that again!" He yells. She falls silent as she stares at him, but says nothing as she lines up.

After a little while later, a small kid walks in, a blanket draped over his head with tired eyes. In his hand is what looks like a manga, the front showing a powerful demon lord surrounded by beautiful women.

He says nothing as the bags under his eyes seem to scream that he hasn't had enough sleep. But he appears to not mind as he walks towards the line up, joining his siblings. He wears a set of pajama like clothing, covered in yellow swirls.

The man on the throne stares down as a small smile appears on his face, "Glad you could make room in your….busy…schedule to visit."

Baphomet looks away as he gazes across the demons before him, "Let the meeting begin. I have some-"

"Pardon my interruption sir…but Pride isn't here yet, can we wait a moment longer?" Asks Lust warily, knowing the punishment if she upsets her lord.

He sighs as he shakes his head, "That's what I have called you all here to discuss…" he flicks his fingers to the side as a maid hurries to the side of his raised throne, a pillow in hand. On the pillow are seven pendants, each with a different animal as the ornament. All of them seem to be glowing with life…except one.

He gently grabs that pendant as he shows it to them, "Remember the blood I had each of you give me long ago? I had it forged into these pendants. Each one is connected to your soul through a blood pact, so they are able to track your souls…however, when a soul disappears, the glow fades from the pendant's eyes."

He holds the pendant up as a look of shock appears on Lust's face, "You don't mean…"

He nods as he holds the Lion pendant out, no light glowing from its eyes, "Pride has died, leaving you 6 sins behind."
