Lia PoV (Baal’s mother)

The last three years have been a bit better. I spent the three years at Lilith’s castle while my kids were trained. They suffered greatly because Lilith allowed the all Succubus to use their full power to train them.

It may sound cruel but i found it entertaining. All four have been brats since they were born so i found somewhat fun to see them being disciplined like this. All their life the teachers that trained them have let them “just” win. Making them sweat it out before throwing in the towel. Lucifer told me of this. It was what Vil’cri was doing while he was still alive.

Lucifer himself has been absorbing all his miasma in the underworld since that time and is almost back to full power. Nearly 2 years of gathering miasma went into rebuilding his horn and the last year was to remake all the missing limbs that were cut and burnt off.

The result of this was that the purified barriers made by Baal’s sister were allowed to expand more freely. It now covers nearly half the world. Those inside the barrier have also begun to prosper greatly because even weaker demons are able to hunt with a bit of training. It has caused quite a change in our world.

I’m rather happy it has because this castle is within that barrier and i can now see a beautiful blue sky instead of that blood stained one when i visit Lucifer on the other side.

Another thing that has changed is that both Baal and his sister are being worshiped as gods. Their kingdom has also spread into the demon world. With them bringing advancement and better training to every village those from their kingdom find the demons have prospered and are growing at a fast rate and are truly happy to serve under them.

Though i wished for them to prosper more, my four brats have almost reach the end of their training. They have rapidly ranked up to peak rank royal demons and have been fighting on par with the Succubus. I was warned by Lilith that they would finish training and that she already reported to Lucifer. His orders also returned.

They were supposed to go to the mortal world through that portal and kill Baal.

I sighed because i know it was pointless. Baal was already stronger than his oldest brother with 5 years old. With a kingdom that spans more than half the underworld and part of the mortal world, he must have already ranked up to divine rank having so many followers. Not only that he makes sure they have a good life which makes them more willing to believe in him as their true king and not Lucifer.

When the four were told about the order they all began releasing a relentless amount of miasma and killing intent but most of the miasma was absorbed by the barrier.

A rather wasteful use of energy just letting it leak like that but i guess they never really cared much.

We all fly to the city which has grown far larger than it ever would have gotten if it was left alone.

I am happy though. I get to see my favorite son. I wonder how he was during the past few years.

Flying along with the four royal imp children who don’t even return to human form to conserve energy we fly to the underworld town which has taken the name of the one in the mortal realm Galton.

Baal PoV

The last month has been very satisfying. Once my 4 children were born we waited to see their rate of growth. Along with an examination from Isis we found that their first 2 years of age will be one of rapid growth. The first year will leave them looking like 8 year olds while the second year will make them full adults.

After 1 month they already look like 2 year olds and we were able to start training them. They were low rank royal demons or lesser gods. It was hard to tell between them in respect to Lilian’s pair.

They all had great strength for their age, which i wouldn’t expect any less from my children, so i started them on cultivating that skill and put them with Rachet to start training their physical strength. I made VERY sure to tell him to be as merciless as possible without traumatizing them because i wasn’t going to let my children be outclassed by any other person.

He didn’t over do much but he brought out some old gear he used on me, the gravity cuffs.

The kids had to move around with nearly 256 times their weight (8 pairs of cuffs) because any less would be insufficient for their training. My own training with these weights would be ineffective now because i had grown too powerful. Rachet did fix that problem though. He made a special armor for me that would increase the weight to the point the one wearing it will almost not be able to move.

Even though i am stronger than him now, and i can beat him almost instantly now, he’s still a pain in the ass when it comes to training. I’m sure the kids would move to this armor soon as well because their growth is no joke it’s on par with me and Lilian and any other person that was cursed by Crono.

Speaking of cursed people we encountered a number of them in the last month. It was like many just appeared from nowhere.

If i remember correctly, the ones we have are, Horse, Monkey, Rat, Snake and Dragon with us. The ones that appeared from all over almost made up the whole group it seems. Dok tells me there are 12 of them all of which were in the group.

Let’s see the ones that appeared were the Pig, Tiger, Ox, Sheep and Dog. From what Dok tells me there is still the Rooster and Rabbit

Now to tell the features of each, Pig are basically overpowered Orcs. They aren’t like the fat slobs we have encountered up to now. They are bigger and more muscular and not so fat. I would best compare them to a bulky ogre but much stickier, at least the normal grunt. The leader is even larger but seems the have a brain in his skull and is monstrously powerful.

Sheep, Tiger and Dog are all beastmen races. Sheep in particular are a race called Satyr with a more human torso but with horns on their head and a sheep or rams legs. They have a very strong kick and even though they don’t have human feel they are strangely fast.

Dog men would be more specific to Kobold. The ones under the cursed one are much stronger than normal and are made from wild dog species instead of the normal kobold who is normally a wolf. They have a society just like Kobolds normally do. As Dok and the others say it’s oriental from their world. The leader himself has reached a stage of rank up where he looks like a Demi human with just a few animal features such as the dog ears and tail while he wears long cloth clothes and holds a weapon similar to my own. One made from his body when he ranked up.

Now the biggest trouble makers were the tiger men. In all shape or form they were true beasts of war and the strongest of them took my elites to fight and subdue and the leader himself took Lily to go. She has become the defacto leader of all the elites as she is currently the only elite that has passed royal rank with me and Lilian.

The tiger man leader was a unique variant being a white tiger and at least several times stronger then his second in command. They were beasts of war and they knew exactly how to fight with strength and all. This was an excellent chance to teach even Aries champion who was now over 3 years old and already training. He was kept to the back while Aries commented on the battle and showed the tactics that were being used. He was truely training the boy to be a master of war and strategy.

The last one, the Ox, was a group of Minotaur that were born from wild bison or bulls. They were MUCH stronger than those born from goblins because they rank up to Minotaur directly from the animal stage and are capable of entering greater forms since minotaur are an early stage of rank up.

The leader was a variant with several god blessings. Ironicaly both Lilian and Ares gave their blessing to him. Once Aries appeared before them he just bowed to him and now real battle was done but i had to fight the leader to prove i was worthy to lead his people.

He was by far the hardest opponent to fight in my life. We went into the woods far from the city just to be safe and what was left was a wasteland near the area. I was forced to transform to fight him and win.

With the addition of all these to our ranks and carefully spread out over both the mortal and underworld there were few kingdoms that actually posed a threat. We did get attacked mind you. Several alliances were built but most didn’t have the extreme man power to fight hoards of possibly boss class monsters.

With me in Galton carefully monitoring the growth i still took my time to personally train each of my kids with my weapons. My son and heir, was taught the two strongest weapons. The Scythe and the dual guns. With great advancement after dok returned in magic and industry the magic gun was finally created and it rapidly made us over power any who try to advance on us.

It was one of the things that they had trouble picking up but it seems he has some talent with it, maybe something i passed on.

While we were outside training with it we heard a sudden noise from the portal that has remained in front of the castle since it was made and even after we remodeled the castle it remained in the same spot.

We looked over there and see 5 royal Imps going wild and roaring.

I was kind of curious about who they were so i called Castiel, or Cas for short, and we headed over.

When we approached i called out.

Baal: Hey what's the problem.

The five looked at me. Its then that i saw the final person walk through the portal, my biological mother. As soon as i saw her i knew who the rest were. I sighed as they began their ranting.

Mephisto: Hello, Brother.

He spat at the word brother.

Mephisto: We came to visit our little brat brother. I don’t think you met the other three. We all wanted to see you because we had to go through 3 years of the fucking Succubus’s hell training.

I almost start laughing hearing that.

It also doesn’t go unnoticed.

Minerva: You think that’s funny you brat. DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW BAD IT IS TO ALWAYS FIGHT SUCCUBUS WHO AREN’T HOLDING BACK.

Baal: It wouldn’t be training befitting Rachet’s teacher if she had them hold back.

The person in question also appeared next to me.

Rachet: I completely agree on that. Either she holds back some to rank someone to royal rank or she goes all out to maximize the amount of hell someone faces.

Cas: Daddy, who are these noisy and annoying people.

My sons brilliant choice of words make everyone go silent. Everyone except Lia who began chuckling. She walked over and crouched down.

Lia: You are his son.

Cas: Mn, He is my daddy and no one is stwonger than him. Who awe you?

Lia: I’m his mom...though i wasn’t able to take care of him like he does to you.

Vlad: ...Mother...you’re smiling...and not using a cold tone.

Baal: I guess there is clear favoritism.

Lia: Of course, they were only cute when they were small. Once they began walking and running they learned all their fathers bad habits which i personally hate.

The air around the five royal imp froze. They were releasing a quiet and cold killing intent. It was noticed by everyone.

Suddenly the oldest one vanished and so did I. The next moment he was looming over my son and i was flying above my mom and son holding his descending fist with a single hand.

Baal: By any chance was this aimed at my son?

Mephisto: That brat...will die.

Before he finished he vanished and appeared below me and standing over him again. Just before his fist reached half way down my fist was in his gut pushing him away and making him fly and stick in a v shape into the castle walls.

Cas: Wow, daddy is stwong.

He said that with sparkling eyes. I couldn’t but have my ego swell with my son’s comment.

Before i had time to enjoy it though i had to close the space between me and my son and catch the fists of my two sisters, one with each hand. I firmly held their middle finger since my hand was smaller and began squeezing. They both roared in pain and tried to pull back but i was clearly stronger.

Lilian: What’s going on?

From the castle Lilian came out and with her my three daughters. Lilian’s daughter was named Uriel but we normally call her Ul for short, on her other side was Lily’s twin girls Talie and Calie.

Ul: Wow look at dad. Hey mommy, who are these weak guys.

Lilian: Hmm Since Baal’s mom is here i guess these are his siblings. Their your aunts and uncles.

Lia: Oh my...daddy...more kid?

Baal: Yep the little one that looks different from the others is Cas’s twin and the other two are another pair.

While i casually vice grip my sisters middle fingers i tell my mother about my newborns. She was very interested in my all too adorable kids.

This pissed all of them off and the two remaining brothers jumped at my three girls. They appeared suddenly behind them be in an instant Lilian sent them flying when she jumped up and gave each a firm punch in the teeth which threw them into the castle walls.

Lilian: How rude, they don’t even have the decency to properly try and make Baal break a sweat. Not like they ever would with this little strength.

Baal: Lilian you can take the kids to study, i can clean this up.

She nods and blows me a kiss and lead the kids back inside. I could see all three of them with sparkling eyes as they try to see me or were asking Lilian what she did.

Mania: You bastard...To ignore us.

When i looked to my left i saw my sister with a black fist loaded with mana and miasma. The fist came straight at my face. I didn’t even try to move and simply covered my head with mana and tilted it down so the fist hit my forehead.

When the fist made contact, the sound of bones breaking was clearly heard in the courtyard.

Normally you would have thought i would break my head but no sir. She pulled her hand back with the three center fingers dislocated at the joints of the knuckles. She turned a pale red from the pain coming from both hands. Soon enough she lost all her strength and her eyes went blurry as she feinted.

Baal: Guess that’s it for her then. Now then to take the rest of this trash out.

I let go of the feinted one finger and with my right hand i give my other sister a firm punch in the gut making her feint as well. With both at my feet i turn to the last one standing. Having removed himself from the wall he had a small fist mark in his stomach from my fist. He was breathing shallow breaths probably because the of the pain in his stomach region.

Lia: Mephisto give up. Your brother is stronger, can’t you see he hasn’t even used more than at least 20% of his strength to fight you all.

Mephisto: Father...said we...must kill. I...will...ki…

Before he finished he also feinted and fell face first onto the ground. Mother sighed seeing him like that.

Lia: I’m sorry for the trouble.

Baal: Make sure to warn them well not to mess with my kids unless they want to lose their lives next time.

Lia: Of course.

Baal: Also, if you want to visit, only you, please do, do you like her right Cas.

Cas: Yep, you're pwetty and nice.

She looked surprised at his words and even blushed a bit. I smiled seeing that.

She crouched down and gave him a small kiss on the cheek and thanked him for the compliment before she did something that made the five return to human form before taking them away.

They are really troublesome but it was nothing i didn’t need to worry about. I would easily kill them if needed to, without hesitation, just like they tried with my son.

With the commotion cleared up i went back to training Cas a bit more before sending him off to his mother and sisters. The two who were born from Lilian were strangely gods of crafts for some reason. We simply shrugged it off and handed them over to Thor and the others craft gods to train them to the best of their skills.

With him off training i head up to the throne room and look over the kingdom and start to catch up on more work.

Lucifer PoV

I felt nothing when my pathetic children returned beaten. Lia just told me what happened but for some reason i felt no emotions. No anger, no rage. Before when i thought of him i would be filled with thoughts of killing him and erasing his existence from this plane but now i don’t know. When i think of any of the living exiles i still feel all over the mortal world i don’t feel that rage i felt.

Still him humiliating my pathetic children to such an extent shows he wasn’t lazing around. He grew more than before even. He took half my world from me and has become the biggest thorn in my side since i can remember.

Though i have no rage like before i was still angry that he has taken advantage of my weakened state to such an extent.

That said i was grinning. I knew he had a child...no children. It would be very interesting to see how he reacts should they...explore, the underworld.

I call my best spy, a man of the doppelganger race. I tell him to go and bring me all four of the brats. I want no mistakes so he is to get them today.

With him gone i watch as the sun rises. With the sun rising here the sun sets on his home.

It is today that his small little world will crumble. I gave the doppelganger a message to which he is to leave in the castle.

I shall end his life while he is still a weaker thorn in my side instead of a true threat like that bag of bones who killed himself.
