Chapter 665: [Leviathan]
The great and powerful king of Hell who commands over forty legions of demons; [Balam].
The Great of Hell, ruling 60 legions of demons; [Eligos].
And lastly, another mighty Great Earl of Hell, ruling thirty legions of demons; [Saleos]
... He gave them the names of Elita, Miya, and Sayla, respectively.
He smiled gently at Sayla. "Thank you, Sayla, I feel much better now." 'Solomon’ muttered with a faint smile. His voice is calm and somewhat captivating.
"This is my job, Master." [Saleos] Sayla, smiled at him. "No matter when or where healing and protecting Master and our companions is what I live for."
"I know, but I still want to thank you." ‘Solomon’ reached out and patted her head. "You’ve always been working hard. Thank you for your efforts."
Sayla’s face flushed slightly red. The warmth coming from ‘Solomon’s hand whenever he did this was the greatest reward for her as she could feel it better due to being cold-blooded. And this gives her happiness and satisfaction of being with him and earning his praise and affection.
"Ahh, Master, I want to be treated like that too~" While saying so with a huge smile on her face, Miya opened her hands and attempted to hug him, but she was forcefully dragged away by Elita away.
"Stop clinging on to Master, you idiot! The miasma around you might affect the Master and become sick, are you insane?!"
"Let go of me, stinky Bear!"
"I’m not stinky!"
And once again… they started fighting. Seeing this, ‘Solomon’ could only sigh and smile wryly. ‘These two are always fighting,’ he thought, mentally shaking his head.
"Master, have you woken up?" Then, from the golden laded door, a beautiful girl with black hair and a black robe... no wait, a beautiful boy appeared at the door and bowed towards him while greeting him politely. A person that can easily fool people of his gender whatever he was wearing, girl or boy—in fact, ‘Solomon’ knows that he often switches himself to either gender as if it was clothes.
The Demon of Lust and the 32nd among the guardians—[Asmodeus]
"I’m awake... has everyone gathered?" ‘Solomon’ opened his arms wide as [Asmodeus] casually throw herself onto his bosom as if it was natural, causing a somewhat annoyance on the others around them.
But [Asmodeus] completely ignored them and rubbed his face on her master’s chest and sniffed his familiar scent. "…All our companions have gathered together and are awaiting four Master’s arrival," he muttered. However, even though he said that he has no signs of separating from him, causing a bitter smile to appear on 'Solomon’s face.
“Come on, can’t let them wait…” ‘Solomon’ muttered as he stroke [Asmodeus] head.
“Hmm,” [Asmodeus] smiled happily and slowly separated himself from 'Solomon'. “Let’s do our best today as well, master…” he muttered with a bright smile—'Solomon' smiled happily. However, as he was about to respond, his vision suddenly turned blurry and everything around him turned pitch black. As if he was sucked into a black hole—what is going on?! That was the last thought he had before he lost consciousness—
… …
‘Schwarz’ was extremely shocked at the fact that he could not even sense his own body, he felt as light as a feather, as if he was floating on air, but he could not sense anything in his surroundings. He felt extremely tired and very hard pressed as if he was near death.
This kind of situation lasted for an extremely long time when ‘Schwarz’ felt his soul trembled. And then he felt as his body had become warm like he was being hugged by someone and felt very comfortable.
Like being submerged into water, his surroundings turned cool and comfortable. Then, as if he was a deflated balloon being pumped air, he felt something surging through every part of his body, becoming a warm current, finally passing into his four limbs and hundreds and thousands of bones, blood vessels, and flesh. Bang!!! Suddenly the sound of an explosion echoed within his mind. Soon after that, ‘Schwarz’s sensed his whole body shaking as if his entire self-had appeared in an empty colored world.
Immediately all kinds of wonderful, but strange images began to fill up his mind.
An azure scaled dragon with fish-like dorsal fins suddenly leaped in front of his blurry vision, seemingly excited from something. It jumped like a whale wanting to fly into the sky. ROooooooooAAaaaarrr—!!! it opened its large draconic jaw and gave a cry of dragon’s roar towards the sky as if displaying its brilliance and majesty, which crossed over the boundaries of time and space and violently crashed into ‘Schwarz’s ear!
…[Leviathan]! ‘Schwarz’s eyes widened as he stared at the extremely familiar blue sea dragon in front of him. Why is it here…?
Cracking sound occurred and then—
[Idiotic brother of mine—I don’t know what happened but it seems like you’ve had your ass handed on to you, haha haha! Too bad I couldn’t see it—it would be a great memento, don't you think?]
The warmth energy surged through him, allowing ‘Schwarz’ to finally feel at ease and energized. However, at this very moment, a fiery voice suddenly resounded throughout All Heavens and Myriad Realms, almost giving him a fright.
Fuck! You bastard! ‘Schwarz’ was startled. This voice was very familiar to him because this voice had been heard numerous times in his mind. It made him grind his teeth in hate a few times, but it was also his greatest and most reliable comrade(?) if you want to look at it in another angle.
This bastard...! 'Schwarz' felt the corner of his lips twitched.
[Well, joking aside, it seems like Eerika and the others are counting on you for the time being so I leave them all to you. I know this is a shameless request and that you certainly didn’t want this to hear this from me but you’re the only one I can trust on this, so don’t kick off the bucket yet and wait for my arrival, brother. I will lend you a body; it’s far better than a fragile Clone…please protect them…]
Although they are like oil and water, always fighting whenever they meet but deep down within them, they know that they wouldn’t do anything that would harm the opposite party. If not, there would already be one of them living in this world right now—as there were many ways to use to eliminate the opposite party as the other Allen has as well.
Though, just like him, the other Allen was extremely reluctant to erase him as well. They considered themselves as one and the same, deep down within them, despite always fighting and wanting to kill each other.
They might be different, they might be the same person, but both actually treat and see the other party as a real brother, not as one with Garth or Vergil, but a very close brother—they know each other’s faults and flaws, of course, they know their strengths—in short, they know everything there is to know about themselves. This is also the reason why, as long as one wouldn’t give in, one of them must do it and make the sacrifice.

…and in this relationship—he is the only one who can, no, needs to do it.
‘Schwarz’ sigh.
In this existence, he was nothing but a specter—a ghost of the past!
No matter what Allen thought, he would never think of purging him or severing him—but that is all too convenient.
Sometimes, one needed a sacrifice to be able to save something—just like how he, at that simple and tiny mistake, had taken the ‘Curse of Fell’ from Bataliel due to some mere negligence and was able to save the entirety of his own existence from becoming a true ‘Fallen’, causing Allen to resurface while he, because of the curse, was imprisoned—although, one can only say that he reaps what he sows and that he doesn’t have the choice but to bear the consequences of his own negligence causing a danger to their very own existence—
It was only proper—but that is also why he was sacrificed.
This time, he also needed to carry out the same sacrifice again because this is also the consequences of his action back then—
He thought he would just slowly disappear after this—
But now…
Why did he have to call me again…?
'Schwarz' was annoyed...!
To even use the Incarnation of [Leviathan] to give me a proper body, just what is he doing…?
‘Since you’re going to disappear in any case, so work hard for a bit more’—is that what he wanted to say…? You’re being too conceited, aren’t you?! ‘Schwarz’ can’t help but scowl in rage but he doesn’t have any choice. Not like he could leave whenever he wanted to anyway—
…So be it… just a bit longer then…
Let's just treat this as my final present for you...
… …
The people inside the room were even more shocked. Only Princess Ilse had managed to calm down after a few minutes. Her body immediately released the same aura to cover herself up and protect herself from the sudden of surging energy.
“Wh, what is happening to him!?” Eerika’s face was filled with worry. She doesn’t have any clue as to what is happening to ‘Schwarz’ right now as he was just sleeping peacefully when all of a sudden, he started glowing pale-bluish white and the temperature around them started to decrease in a rapid speed.
As if a blizzard had occurred and ‘Schwarz’ body was at its epicenter, a swirl of cold wind appeared.
No one could answer her as no one knows what is really happening themselves. This sudden change even alarms Elena and the others and they hurriedly rushed towards the room, only to witness such an event.
What is happening here?
They asked and look at Eerika but the latter also didn’t know about it so she could only shake her head in worry.
Eerika was truly full of worries. Fortunately, the coldness was not something harmful…at the very least, it’s not something that would affect them. And when they released their auras, the coldness slowly disappeared. But that is that and this is this—the body of Allen lying on the bed started to change from this coldness.
The coldness was pouring out of his body. Within the radius of a dozen meters, everything, even outside of the room, was starting to freeze over with thick frost. The entire room’s temperature was decreasing drastically.
However, this kind of coldness is obviously not normal. The coldness was permeating, and iciness was creeping. Whether it was the land or the sky, flowers or animals outside the room, anything and everything was turning into ice sculptures, especially those found inside the room. The entire room basically turned into a large room freezer.
“I think it’s not something to worry about…” Staring fixedly at the boy glowing in bright light—an unusual seriousness appeared on Princess Ilse face. As expected…this is…
The Frost Aura of the primeval ancestor—!!
But this should not be possible…! Princess Ilse frowned. They said that this body was just a clone so how is it possible for him to emit this amount of power and even this dense Frost Aura. A clone is always a Clone--although it can generate some power, it would never be the same as the real one...!
“Do, do you know what’s happening to him right now?” Eerika asked. Her voice filled with worry and concern.
“… …” But Princess Ilse didn’t respond and her gaze was focused on the boy’s body. Eerika seemed to be affected by her solemnity and her attention turned back towards ‘Schwarz’. The coldness that surrounded them was still becoming stronger—when suddenly at this moment the scene before them had once again developed rapidly that even the Princess of the Frost Giants was dumbfounded—Crackle! Crackle! Lightning sparks suddenly came out from within the boy’s body like some sort of broken electric circuit.
The lightning sparks shot out in the air, causing sizzling sounds and smell of ozone to appear as if the air was burning.
“Wha—?!” Princess Ilse who was quite closer, couldn’t have anticipated the sudden occurrence and was attacked by the lightning spark before she could jump back. She managed to manifest a frost barrier but the lightning spark that looked like a golden serpent crashed on it and with powerful strength, she was sent crashing on the wall.
“Princess Ilse!” Elena called out. She and her daughter Eerika hurriedly rushed towards her position while strengthening their barrier due to the violent lightning sparks that attack others indiscriminately as if protecting the body from every people that tried to get close to him.
Lightning?! “What is happening?!” Princess Ilse was startled as she waved her somewhat injured arm. However, she acted as if it was nothing and stand up—“Why does husband possess such violent and strong energy?”
“Actually, this is somewhat normal,” Eerika replied.
“What?”
“In fact, ever since he fought against the Reptilian Demon, I only saw him used Ice based powers and I thought it was somewhat strange. What Sol usually used is Lightning and Thunder—so I found it strange up until now but never thought about it deeply.” Eerika shrugs her shoulders.
“Lightning and Thunder? That is impossible! He is of the Frost Giant descent!” Princess Ilse cried out in denial.
A Frost Giant will always possess the same power--that is the essence of Cold.
Eerika smiled wryly. “I don’t know but that was always what he had been up until now. The element of Ice is not the only thing he could use—in fact, he could use every kind of element that is completely unnatural and unbelievable to a very high degree…” she said proudly.
To this kind of reality, even the other Mid Gods were in awe. After all, they know that an ordinary God they have this kind of Specific Law or Aspect, which greatly influence their power and nature.
Having multiple aspects is almost impossible.
Probably, this is why mortals who had undergone [Deification] despite the almost impossible difficulty, yet still became a God was much stronger and fiercer than normal Gods because they are not restricted by one or two elements and they can choose and pursues whatever aspect they placed their eyes on.
In analogy, unlike mortals, Gods already have predetermined perimeters the moment they were born in this world. They are restricted by what they call Bloodline of God. For example, the Children of Light, such as Eerika Balder, the Descendants of the God of Light; Balder, their powers can only be the power of Light and other aspects of the God Balder possess. They cannot pursue other aspects or elements, such as fire, wind and etc…
Although, compared to the two races, Celestial Humans are much greater and stronger than mortals in their original spec and they possess powers above normal human could have, but when mortals were given the opportunity to possess such power, they immediately transcend that of the Descendants of Gods.
They are much freer compared to Celestial Humans, though advancement can only be depended on talents.
They possess potentials that Celestial Humans, the Descendants of the Gods didn’t have and their versatility and flexibility surpasses that of the latter—
“… …?!” Princess Ilse listened to Eerika’s words and she was startled. Frost Giants can only generate Frost and Ice based powers and their greatest weakness is Fire…but, she said that Allen can use Fire Elementals that even surpasses that of those descendants of the Forge or any Gods that have the aspect of Fire…? How is that possible…?
