Chapter 8 - [ Chapter 8 ● A Concerning Matter ]

"Sister Wisteria! Huh!?~~ " Lilith repeated!!

"You see—Master!!~~ " Again she had her gaze focus on Demon! "Aside from the daily life going on in the demon realm—There is an even bigger chaos happening in all the other realms combined!!~~ "

"MmmM!! ... " Apxsinuous raised his brow! Clearly showing his interest in the topic!!

Whereas Lilith hummed!!

Articulating her thoughts! In a few seconds—She was done! Her mellow lips parted! Her enchanting voice rippling in the air!!

"Master your slumber hasn't just caused chaos in the demon realm! Instead it too is the cause for what is going on in the other realms!!~~

Considering when your sleep had begun! You were in a very terrible condition! And if the Master of the demon realm is weak then so does the realm!!~~

It will also become weak! Which it did!! ...

And at that time—It happened! What it is!? Currently we don't know—No! No one knows! Not even the other Originals!!~~ "

Demon frowned on understanding the implications of Lilith's words!!

For something so huge to happen because of his slumber! On the scale of even dragging all the other realms no less! Whatever it was!?

It certainly couldn't be taken lightly!!

Which became even more evident when Lilith stated that not even other originals knows what is the cause of the chaos that is happening in there own realms!?

Regardless one thing was clear—It had begun from the demon realm!!

The injured original demon—The strongest original was the catalyst that served as the source for the chaos that engulfed all the other realms!!

On a thought—Demon himself decided to check how his realm was actually doing now!!

He turned! His steps measured as he advanced towards the floor-to-ceiling window of his room! On reaching and walking past it—He ascended towards the skies!!

*Swish!!~~* ...

Meanwhile his maids and Lilith also followed after him quietly! Soaring towards the skies! *Swish!!~~* ... *Swish!!~~* ... *Swish!!~~* ... *Swish!!~~* ...

Few 1000 Kms above!!

Demon came to a stop after piercing many layers of drifting clouds below! *HaaaH!!~~* He inhaled the demonic and the cool air of his realm with joy!!

His mind feeling relaxed!! ...

The original demon gazed up with a melancholic glint in his crimson eyes! He marveled at the fantastical beauty of the massive Moon of his realm!!

The pale moon shone like always—Brilliantly!!

Showering his—Hovering figure in a dim moonlight!! ...

The moonlight was cool! Soothing and relaxing indeed! Yet the silent chaos and disorder it contained could never remain concealed before his eyes!!

Nonetheless these elements were the exact same thing!! ...

That made him love the Moon so much! 'No matter how cold you are because of who you are! One day—You too will get consumed by Me!! ...

My Moon Goddess!!~~ ' His lips curled! He watched 'His' Moon with an avaricious gaze!!

Indeed—The Moon of the demon realm wasn't just any celestial body!!

That was the Original Moon right there! Representing everything that is Night! Frost and Cold!! ...

That is Chaos!! ...

It was the Omen of Chaos—An indicator of complete disorder! Confusion and a return to a primordial! Formless state!!

"Master!!~~ What happened that's making you so amused!?"

Demon came out of his thoughts! His head turned—Crimson gaze focused on his maids! They too had arrived and were now hovering beside him!!

He shook his head!! ...

Subsequently ignoring them—He glanced towards his castle below! Where he saw a few of the servants too! The demons who were outside were now gazing towards him!!

Eyes wide—Dumbfounded! Body weak with disbelief! Yet the glint of happiness and jubilation in there zealous gazes clearly betrayed there expressions of denial on there faces!!

Demon smiled lightly!!

Nevertheless—Ignoring them too!! ...

He focused on his gothic castle! It was also the same as ever—A profane paragon of malevolence! Standing unshaken for years forgotten!!

The Castle of Eternal Abaddon was one of the three Artifacts made by the original demon from the depth of his very soul!!

The castle was a monument of oppressive architecture!

Its lofty spires—Like towering sentinel fingers! Pointing blasphemously at the perpetually dark-starlit sky! The very stone of its ramparts—A obsidian black!!

Seeming to absorb all light and hope!! ...

It's aura of profound dread and satanic influence pervading the air! The wind didn't merely blow—They howled through the flawless framework of the fortress!!

The castle rested between the Ancestral Forest of Malignance! A massive forest of darkness and demonic whispers that stretched for as far as once eyes could see!!

However it was different for Demon!!

As the Master of the realm—He could naturally see every and all things within the demon realm and even normally his perception was enough to make out most of it!!

Demon used his soul connection with his demonic serpent—Wisteria! Confirming that indeed she wasn't in the realm!!

He gazed into the distant and just as the Mother Demon had described! The realm was indeed in a state of utter disorder and upheaval!!

He observed the wars occurrencing! The slaughters happening! The innate barbaric nature of many demons as they commited the vilest of acts with cruelly satisfying smile!!

He saw many things with a unperturbed gaze and that was when Demon also saw 'It'! Something that only intensified the chaos in his realm and started in others!!

It was actually a spatial vortex!!

However there weren't just one but many! Almost uncountable—Like billions on billions of dark spiraling dots placed on the demonic space!!

"When did the space of My realm become so weak for there to appear so many portals!? Moreover exactly where do they lead to!? I can't seem to sense there other location!?

Not to mention what are those Monsters!? ... "

His gaze narrowed dangerously! He had never seen those creatures before! His first thought was that they were being invaded! And -

"This is what we talked about Master!!~~ "

"Hmm!! ... "

Demon focused on Lilith! His expression turning neutral! The secretory watching her master's foul mood! Quickly informed him everything he wanted to know!!

"These portals of unknown origin invaded your realm when you were injured and weak which had also turned the space of the demon realm fragile!!~~

The portals were just a few at the beginning!! ...

Which we did not take much notice of! Considering there are also other portals opening and closing in the realm every other second!!

That are connecting our realm with other realms!! ...

However it didn't take long before these portals spread in the realm like a parasite! At which time we also took notice of these portals but it was already too late by then!!

They had already invaded deep into our realm's spatial layers! Meaning even if we destroyed them! Nothing changed!! ...

The portals would merely appear again on many other different location on the realm!! ... "

Lilith continued! Demon listened!! ...

Apparently after the portals invaded the demon realm there happened a sort of chain reaction that caused them to also start appearing in other realms!!

What started a chain reaction of that magnitude—Ne one knew!!

No one could stop it either! His maids had called his wives! But they weren't able to! Neither in there own realms nor in his!!

They even asked the Original Fox—One who represents Space and Time! For her help!!

And the major shock came at that time when even she was unable to stop the spatial portals from spawning in the many realms!!

From the portals came those strange creatures!!

Mindless monsters with whom no one could communicate! To understand there origin! They didn't have a single soul but an amalgamation of many fragmented soul!!

Because of that they also did not have any memories! Making investigating them that much more difficult since they had no leads or knew where to even began!!

What they knew was that the monsters had only one thing ingrained in there amalgamated souls—That is to kill and destroy!!

And to stop these monsters from appearing in the outside world! People had to go inside the portals and destroy there cores!!

"Which is becoming more and more challenging with each passing year!!~~

As there numbers and strength keep increasing at an astronomical rate Incessantly! Although it's indeed been very long since the portals had made there appearance in our world!

However the weaker once aren't the problem! It's the stronger once which are creating the main problem! There are already many portals at the Third Grade!!

Portals which houses monster as strong as an ordinary God and even a good number of portals at the Fourth Grade which houses monsters as strong as True Gods!!

And at the rate with which these stronger grade portals are appearing is really a concerning matter Master!!~~ "

Lilith uttered with a solemn tone!! ... ... ... ... ...
