YM778.TV Chapter 52: He is furious
But the hierarchy of the demon world had been followed in the most serious manner for the last several hundred years, specifically after Lucifer received divine punishment.
Ah yes… The Great War of Genesis… something that completely changed the structures of the world into a new and devastating scenario, governed by chaos… But the demons managed to re-establish themselves definitively… However, the new rules they followed and their dilemmas… were a problem in the current era.
Influence is Power, and Power is Influence.
And what did that mean? As long as you have strength, you do what you want. The world belongs to the strong and not the weak; if rules exist, it\'s because the strongest decided, and if you\'re bothered… become the strongest and change it.
That was the current demonic dilemma… something that ironically ended up creating that terrifying woman.
But this model began long ago; it was all demonstrated after the End of the War of Genesis.
With the lack of moderation, the demons wanted to resume the war, but then a New Order of the Underworld emerged… The four strongest demons of the time joined together and formed the new rules of the Underworld, and anyone who dared to even think about restarting what Lucifer sought was annihilated like a dictatorship with an iron fist.
They called themselves the Archons and followed this way until modern times.
The original clans of demons changed a lot over time; the original demons were called the 72 Pillars, but many of them died off gradually as the eras passed.
Sapphire Agares alone killed more than ten demonic clans.
This applied to the other Demon Queens like Stella Sitri and Raphaeline Baal, and of course, the last Demon Queen, Strelitzia Gremory. read-more-at-MvLeMpYr
But now… Despite being from a renowned family… Ada Baal… meant nothing.
A woman from an elevated clan, but her titles? Who knew her? Who accounted for her deeds? Who tested and proved her strength? These questions could not even be answered by herself or by mentoring demons… Absolutely Nobody… nobody knew her for her merits…
She was only known as "The Daughter of Queen Baal."
Nothing more and nothing less… She was nobody.
Her mother was her pillar, the one who ensured that she didn\'t become demon food… And now… the same person was basically selling her to someone she didn\'t even know or had seen in her entire life…
It was simple… She was doomed… And all she could do was run to prepare for the worst…
The rift shone with an almost blinding intensity before closing behind Ada, leaving her in a freezing darkness.
Feeling the solid ground beneath her feet, she knew she had arrived at the right place.
As her eyes adjusted, she immediately recognized the dark environment; well, it was night, so the strange atmosphere was easily understandable. Despite this… Katharina\'s house was in front of her…
"Dimension Wrecker… I spent all my energy…" Ada murmured, letting the sword drop as she fell to the ground on her knees…
"That… was… risky…" She was panting, feeling that she had reached her corporeal limit.
"I need… to produce more energy…" She thought, but her body was already nearing its limit…
"Well… what do we have here…" She heard a sarcastic voice sounding behind her; she turned her face slightly and saw a huge woman with emerald eyes staring at her…
"Looks like we have a runaway." She said, smiling as she grabbed Ada by the shirt from behind as if she were a bag.
"S-s-s-s-sapphire?!!" She stammered and spoke everything wrong as she was lifted by her clothes while the woman walked. "You caused quite a stir here, you know?" She said with a smile, "But don\'t worry… We\'re going to have plenty of fun… Little Baal." Sapphire said with a devilish grin from ear to ear.
She bent down and picked up the katana… "Dimensional Sword… you stole something quite interesting… I remember when I saw it in that demon\'s hands… What was his name again? Hm… well, fuck it." She said, scoffing. Sapphire wasn\'t good with names, but her strength was undeniable.
She lifted Ada like a doll, and each step they took echoed through the darkness like a death sentence.
"You caused trouble here, you know? The boy is furious." Sapphire said teasingly, "Not that it matters; he couldn\'t save you even if he wanted to… Well, I made a bet with him; we\'ll see how he does…" She said, smiling, looking quite interested in how this would turn out.
The question hung in the air, and each word made Ada\'s heart sink further. She was already feeling terrible about what was happening, and this woman was only trying to drag her down deeper.
The feeling of betraying him hurt in her chest, and she didn\'t even understand why.
"Kukuku, this is going to be interesting to watch," Sapphire chuckled, her laughter echoing throughout the mansion as she walked toward the house.
"What do you plan to do now?" Sapphire asked, looking at Ada as if she were a broken toy. "Soon your mother will send Akame after you, and you know she won\'t fail."
The walls of the house seemed to close in around Ada. "I don\'t know..." she murmured.
Suddenly, all the lights turned on, and Sapphire entered the house, walking to the living room where Katharina was lying on the sofa bed, watching some strange anime about Death Notes that kill people.
"Eh?!" Katharina exclaimed in surprise as she saw Ada being lifted like a doll, and following that perspective...
Sapphire threw her.
"AIIIII!" Katharina screamed as the weight of the woman fell on her. "Kyaa!" Ada yelped upon landing on Katharina.
"I found this garden gnome in our yard; take care of her and stop watching that garbage every day," Sapphire said, leaving the room nonchalantly while Katharina and Ada stared at each other.
"Hi," Ada said, trying to break the awkward moment.
"Get off me..." Katharina murmured.
"Oh." Ada moved and sat next to her.
An uncomfortable silence filled the room until Ada finally spoke. "Is he okay?"
Katharina looked at Ada, her expression shifting from surprise to concern. "Who? Vergil? He\'s... well, I wouldn\'t say \'okay.\' He went berserk when he found out you were missing."
"I... I didn\'t want this. I was forced!" Ada\'s voice trembled as guilt consumed her. "I just wanted a chance to be more than just the \'Daughter of Queen Baal.\'"
"Calm down, we understand the situation. Vergil also understands, and... well... he\'s getting ready," she said, sounding uncertain.
"Getting ready for what?" Ada questioned.
"To challenge your mother," she said, and Ada fell silent.
Silence took over the space again, heavy and laden with unspoken tensions. Ada looked at Katharina, disbelief written across her face. "Challenge my mother? He knows that\'s suicide, right?"
"He knows," Katharina replied, her gaze steady but tinged with worry.
"But what can I do? My mother... seems to have taken an interest in him... so we don\'t have many choices," Katharina said with a shrug.
