Chapter 68

I quickly grabbed the Ace of Winchesters from the large safe that was embedded in the demon's office apartment wall and as for any magical protection or just the safe being a safe... I just created a blade of condensed wind that cut through the door hinges of the safe so I could just directly pull it off.

But as I took the Ace of Winchesters and its ammo, I felt my voluminous robe bulge as something moved within it, but I didn't freak out as I knew the only person/thing that could or would do this.

"Master, Mistress Galatea has released the meta-human child into the holdings of Superman who has arrived here in the city. You should leave quickly before other league agents arrive." Astrid spoke as she traveled through the shadows between realms to reach within my clothes to speak to me.

When she was elevated into a true Fae Lady, she had gotten some shadow control abilities and although she couldn't create massive in-scope attacks with them. She could easily travel to shadows she knew well and was well suited for spying or assassinating for me.

"Good work. I will come back to Heuco Mundo shortly, I still have to get my end of the bargain." I said rejecting Astrid's presence and shoving her back into my inner world via the connection I had as her lord and master.

I could feel Superman's presence here in LA clearly with his massive soul radiating like the sun that it was with his connection to Rao. So, I quickly Traveled between dimensions so he couldn't pick up on me as I headed back to the Lux while wondering how Superman was dealing with that Metahuman girl.

I quickly made my way back into the Lux and saw Lucifer was sweet-talking this blond woman so like a reasonable man I just went over to a table within sight of him and ordered a couple of drinks and some bar nuts to while away the time as the man worked his verbal magic on the poor mortal... Nope never mind that girl is a demon.

I realized dryly and for a moment I felt my hollow instincts that had fed exclusively on demons and other corrupted souls rise to the forefront as I honestly considered how I could get the girl outside so I could deal with her and possibly even eat her.

"Jake clear your mind of the dirty thoughts Haha." I heard Lucifer clear as day speak in my ears as he went for a drink from the glass and his words cleared the bloodlust from my head as I realized that wanting to rip apart and vore the pretty demon flirting with Lucifer Morningstar and vice versa was an absolutely terrible idea.

I just lowered my eyes and took a deep breath as I pushed down my Hollow hunger that was typically so easy to suppress but I guess that with only having fed my way to Vasto Lorde off demons they had become my aphrodisiac and ahhh... 'I needed to go to Hell for a milk run.' I thought as I shook my head.

After a couple minutes of myself just attuning myself to the club music so I could clear my head I heard someone slide into the booth in front of me and low and behold was the grinning form of Lucifer himself and he held out his hands in the universal signal that just meant 'gimmie'.

"Here. Now where is Klarion The Witchboy the Chaos Lord of this timeline." I asked as I passed over the gun and its matching magical ammo and Lucifer gave me a dirty look at how specific I was.

"Wow, it's like you honestly expect me to renege on our deal. Who hurt you, Jake? Do you need counseling? I have the most fabulous local therapist and she has helped me greatly with my daddy issues, so I could refer you for your own parental issues?" Lucifer 'kindly' offered and my eye twitched at the thought of sharing the same therapist as fucking Lucifer of all people.

"I get over my mental problems by pulling monster spines out of their chests... That and blowjobs... Those help me sleep at night as well. I don't need to go harp about my problems to someone who only cares about their hourly rate." I responded dryly as Lucifer chuckled at my answer.

"Ah, violence and sexual relief... Well, that will tide you over for a couple of centuries but what happens then Jake? What will you do? Will your bloodlust push you to strike at more human targets? Or will you just gather a massive harem and drown yourself in pleasure? Well, I did the last more than anything as demon ladies can be broken into being obedient with greater power and ambition." Lucifer's eyes then went misty as he obviously was reminiscing about his great 'conquests'.

"Lucifer, I get that you are bored. If you want to feel out my psyche you are welcome to pick at it in my Realm of Hueco Mundo, but I have a hunt to undertake now." I said bluntly as I didn't find any joy in Lucifer's endless cunning, charisma, and wisdom taking my personality apart and psychoanalyzing it.

"Bah fine... Well, I have great news for you, my bloodthirsty friend. Klarion is at this moment and will be for the next couple hours before leaving, in the deepest darkest pits of Hell and is currently discussing with Trigon's son Wrath the coming destruction of a pathetic realm of no progress that is to be culled as its magical energies are flooding into the space between realms. For a bunch of pathetic pacifists, they are aggressively using their realms magical aura to overtake the nearby realms." Lucifer mused before shrugging.

"Is Trigon there?" I asked softly as I didn't like my chances against both Trigon and Klarion. Lucifer just chuckled shaking his head at my question.

"Nah you are a decent-sized fish... But Trigon is a shark. If you want to kill him, you will need to master your inner realm in order to overtake his reality manipulation or just Ahh!" Lucifer coughed looking bashful. "I have spoken too much Jake... Well, get going. You are on the clock as it were." Lucifer said as his eyes turned from me and locked onto a woman in a office suit that all but stomped into the club and towards Lucifer without a care in the world.

I took the dismissal for what it was and with no one other than Lucifer who rolled his eyes at my act I took a step and I faded from existence as I Traveled back to Hueco Mundo to discuss with Galatea how I was going to deal with both a son of Trigon and Klarion.

I could deal with Wrath easily as I knew his powers over entropy. I just needed to kill him before he could age me with a touch so I just had to hope Galatea could distract Klarion long enough for me to deal with the demon hybrid.
