Lucifer and the three gods fell into the realm, landing on the ground and forming a crater under their feet.

"Huh, I expected more," Odin said, looking around with a frown as Lucifer couldn't help but agree.

"I assumed The Jade Emperor had sent me here so I could prove myself or something, or maybe just to torment me, but this is disappointing," Lucifer said, sighing as The Fox growled at him.

"I suggest you don't insult my emperor with such disrespectful remarks, this is clearly an important quest…"

Lucifer looked at him with squinted eyes. "You gonna lick up the jizz off your face or do you prefer his scent on you after you suck him off?"

The Nine-tailed fox rushed Lucifer, growling as he grabbed the fallen Angel by the collar of his shirt.

"Careful dirty Angel, I am only here to make sure you don't try anything stupid, do not test me!" The fox growled as Lucifer smirked.

"So easy to get mad, not a good quality to have for one so close to the ruler of first heaven…"

The fox let him go, stepping back and turning away as Lucifer looked out at the land.

"Ah, such a beautiful place, and yet… It is destined to be swallowed up and devoured by greedy deities…" Lucifer said sadly, closing his eyes.

"You!-" The fox began to get started again, rushing Lucifer as the fallen Angel turned, a large smirk on his face.

"Just kidding, I don't give a fuck about nature," He said, shrugging as he jumped from the cliff they sat on, falling down toward the trees.

The gods looked at him fall, all of them shrugging and jumping as well, the only one to hesitate being The Fox, who was still cursing Lucifer.

"That fucking Angel, why does he have to be such a pain in the ass?" He complained as he flew over the cliff to follow him down.

"Why are we bothering with him anyway? What's he even supposed to accomplish here?" The Fox said before Lucifer raised a hand.

"I can hear you, and clearly the Jade Emperor thought I'd be the best to lead this expedition, is it because I'm better than you? Highly likely..."

Before the nine-tailed fox could say anything, a low rumble caused all the gods to look interestedly south.

"Is that…? Shit… That's no ordinary thunderstorm…" Odin muttered, shaking his head as he looked around, trying to gauge his fellow god's reactions. Lucifer was already gone, however, disappearing over the forest canopy before anyone else could react.

'It can't be, right? There's no shot I'm...' Lucifer didn't finish the thought as he looked above the trees, his eyes widening as he saw the clouds off in the distance.

"Damn Lucifer, if you moved like that all the time perhaps you'd have been able to escape your confinements," Fox said, proud of himself that he had been able to get a little jab in.

"You seem to know something Lucifer?" Odin said, his eyes brightening as the fallen angel looked at them, a sadistic smile on his face.

"This realm is very interesting..." Lucifer said, bursting forward, flying full speed toward the abnormal lightning storm...

...

"Huh... Those are nothing like the sky whales, they're so much stronger as well... What-" The red head, who Lucifer had learned was named Hephaestus, said before Lucifer cut her off.

"No... They're far greater... Dragons."

Hephaestus looked at him angrily, "But did you need to be so rude to tell us that? Watch yourself," She replied, crossing her arms as Lucifer ignored her.

"I see you four are watching my children rough house, they can get quite rowdy sometimes," A soothing voice said in Lucifer's ear.

Normally this would cause panic, but for some reason, it felt natural to hear her voice, almost welcoming.

"Woah Lady, you just popped up out of nowhere," Odin said, smiling a toothy grin at the woman next to Lucifer, who was still watching the dragons.

"Yes, I embody this planet, I call it Earth, but you may call me... Gaia," The brown-haired woman replied, smiling warmly at Lucifer as he felt something tug inside of him, something unfamiliar.

"Gaia huh, what a nice name..." Lucifer said, trying his hardest not ton smile with glee.

"Ah, you guys are just in time, my children are settling a dispute amongst themselves, they are fighting because they are both in love with Ogre haha..." Gaia said awkwardly, shining with pride at their behavior.

"Ogre? Is she a maiden?" Odin asked, smirking as he looked at the dragon's, analyzing their attacks and huge bodies as they fought.

"No... She is the first," Gaia said as Lucifer closed his eyes, a satisfied smile on his face.

'I've made it, I'm so far ahead of the original story, I can change everything too fit my needs...' Lucifer opened his eyes, his irises shining golden as he looked back at the three gods.

"What do you all think? We're supposed to get some information on this place anyway, shall we explore? If miss Gaia has no problem with it of course..."

Gaia smiled radiantly. "No I have no qualms of you all adventuring here, in fact I hope you will bring more, my children are fun, but they are not great peers..."

Lucifer chuckled to himself. "Then... I'll see you all later," With that his wings burst from his back and he took off, speeding through the fresh air that was familiar yet completely foreign.

Being back on earth was a weird feeling, even if he knew it wasn't the true earth, the earth he knew. It was a better earth, one of possibility, and one of exploitation.

Lucifer stopped abruptly, looking above the world from up high as he held his arms out, as if he was trying to hug the world. 'This... Will all be mine...'
