Space Ex #4

"Oho, it seems that you have a way based on your confidence. I will let you do your thing. But if you failed in becoming a devil, I have no choice but to kill you." Father said with a challenging smile

"Hehehe, we have a deal. If my way doesn't work, I'll just simply follow your way then. However, I need a drop of both your blood to accomplish it." I said with confidence

They went ahead and gave me a drop of their blood. Truthfully, I do not need their blood since I already had their gene records years ago. However, I can't just be a devil out of nothing so I needed some props.

I went ahead and ran out of the house straight to a forest before recalling myself to the ARK. Although Greed can replicate their genes, I prefer to use the machine specifically for such task since based on the calculations done by IRIS, it may have a high possibility of DNA instability which can cause great problems.

It would be safer since IRIS has already made a stable fusion between the two genes which would then be injected to me before Greed will replicate it.

The process took 3 hours before I was finished, a single batch of my new genes were inside me and Greed was containing it first so that I can transform infront of my parents.

I immediately went down to Earth and ran back to our house with Father and Mither waiting patiently.

"So, did your way worked?" Mother asked with care since I can see that Mother doesn't like to see me getting killed by Father

"Hahaha, I can sense that you are still just a normal human. So come here and obediently get yourself killed." Father said with a smile on his face as he utter such words

"Hahaha, You're right that I am still a human as of now. Just watch and see me transform, Mother and Father." I said as I ordered Greed to replicate all the genes all at once

As Greed replicated the genes, I start to feel dizzy. It feels similar when I arrived here on Earth 15 years ago. My consciousness begins to fade but as I feel into slumber, a sense of great power went through my senses.

I woke up inside a grey space. It feels very ominous and my body starts to feel uneasy. I tried to talk to Greed but he is not responding. With no communication with Greed, I can now assume that I may be dreaming.

"**AWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO**"

A piercing howl resounded in the space which caused my very soul to tremble and feel weak. My head started to hurt.

While I was busy with my headache, I suddenly felt that something bit my hands. A searing pain was felt in my hands, comparable to when I fused with Greed.

With the pain raging through my body, I never gave up and continued in trying to stay awake. I chanted a mantra over and over about my desire to live a full life without regrets and to be able to eat many culinary dishes.

As I was about to pass out again, I suddenly woke up in my room and started to feel my hands. There was no pain, but the pain I felt seemed too real. As I looked around my room, I saw ny Mother's worried face and Father's seriousness.

"Son, how are you feeling right now? Does any part of you hurt? You were screaming in your sleep." Mother asked like when I was a kid

"Mother, I'm fine. I just had a bad dream." I said as I smile innocently

"That was quite the spectacle son. I will not ask you how you did it since I can see that you won't be saying it any time soon. However, I am still surprised by your power now. I can feel power similar to both mine and you mother's, but it seems like you can't still properly bring those power out as of now." Father said as he looked at me with a proud gaze

As Father was explaining, I started to feel such power inside me. I started to feel something inside me. It was as if that power aims for destruction and annhilation.

I tried to concentrate the said power in my palm and a crimson red energy with silver outline appeared in my palms. It was stable when I summoned it but after a few seconds I start to lose my control.

As I was about to lose my concentration due to its chaotic nature, I was knocked out by Father with insane speed which I barely saw.

*Sigh* just how many times will I be passing out in a day. Is what I thought as I fell into darkness once more.

Unknown to me, while I was knocked out, I was transported to a different location. Good thing that it was summer break, or else I might've skipped classes for a long time. I woke up seeing an unfamiliar ceiling which looks similar to that of a train.

"Hehe, sorry my boy. It seems like a used a bit too much force." Father said with as silly grin while having a black eye

"Hmph, you irresponsible father! How can you hurt my little August like that." Mother said with anger

*Master, you were passed out for a week and you are now in a train heading to an unkown place. By the way, the connection with ARK was cut off.* Greed said

As I analyze his report, I saw a glimpse of the outside and saw that we were riding a train flying in the sky. It wasn't that fast but I can still feel that we are traviling quickly.

"Mother, where are we?" I asked as I stand up to walk to the windows

"Well, my dear son, we are in a train headed to the underworld." Mother said as she drinks a cup of tea

"Really?! This is what the Underworld looks like!" I said with excitement as I study its topography.

The sky was purple, while the land mass was massive. Although we were in a high altitude, I can't see any ocean or sea near, only lakes and rivers were present. There are many mountainous regions while there are many cities here and there.

There are even some people with bat like wings flying to one place to another as if it was their normal means of transportation.

"Father, are those real wings?" I said as I pointed towards the people below.

"Yes, those are true. You have one too, just imagine that you want to fly and it will naturaly appear." Father said as he revealed his 6 pairs of wings. They were bat like with pure black color and sharp edges.

I did as what Father said and I felt something itchy in my back. I starts to get more itch by the second but after a short while, I felt a sweet release as the ithciness stoped.

I looked behind me and saw a pair of devil wings in my back. I got excited and I flapped in a couple of times before I tried to fly. I tried to fly as I jump but nothing happened, I continued on for a while before I notice that Mother and Father were holding back their laugh.

"Hey, what's so funny about what I do?" I asked with annoyance in my voice

"Ppfft, hahaha. That was hilarious my boy. You were like a chicken flapping your wings while jumping up and down." Father said with an obnoxious laugh which seemed to infect Mother, who also started to laugh loudly

As I imagined myself doing such acts, I sulked in the corner with embarassment. I tried to retract my wings and it followed and vanished. I just went ahead to the dining area and started stuffing myself with food to relieve my embarassment. Of course, both me and Greed enjoyed eating that we were able to taste all the dishes in the buffet.

After we arrived at the estate of Father, I was blown away by the luxury it was installed with.

Although it looks like an old style mansion, it is equipped with the state of the art technologies. There are also many devil servants which are all dressed in butler and maid outfits.

I marvelled at the real life maids who act like actual maids. They are very intuitive in assisting us that I do not have to do anything.

I once felt thirsty and I was proceeding to the direction of the kitchen when a maid asked me of I am either hungry or thirsty. She immediately ran to the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water after I said the word thirsty.

"Okay then Augustus, what I am going to tell you is vital for your life. What I am going to explain to you is the situation that is currently happening in the world." Mother said seriously while we are in the garden drinking tea

"Okay mother." I said politely as I put all my attention to what she was going to say

"You do know about the different beliefs and religion right?" Mother asked

"Well yeah, there are all sorts of mythologies available in books and in the internet." I answered politely

"Great, you see most of mythological beings are real. Those Gods and Godesses at one point are really powerful. They came from their own dimensions before they were able to manifest here on earth. They became more powerful here on earth which is why they stay. The main reason for their power is the thing called belief and soul powers."She said as she teleported us into an office with a projector

"These belief and souls from humans grant gods power to do miraculous things. However, most of the gods and godesses are now weaker than they have ever been." She said as the powerpoint showed the cross

"You see, when Christianity was spread out radically this last hundred years. Most people converted to christianity which drained their power. The God from the Bible became the most powerful God as of yet. However along with God's ascension to power, we devils also became stronger." Mother said while showing a picture of a balancing scale

"You see, the world is always kept at balance by an unkown force which is way powerful than God. It let us Devils to gain power on par with gods and let us to be able to survive under the rule of God. The world cannot be all good because it would disrupt the balance." She explained before a huge red wrong appeared

"Well that is what most devils know, however the truth is far from that." Mother said with a smile

"Since you are our son, you have the access to the true knowledge. The God from the Bible is actually dead." Mother said calmly as she dropped a huge bomb

"WHAAATTTT!!?? IF GOD IS DEAD THEN WHY THE FUCK ARE THERE ANGELS!!" I shouted in outrage as I was shaken by the news

"Hahaha, I knew you would be saying somethimg along those lines. Well that is also due to the belief and soul of humans. The Heaven System has been kept alive by the angels for centuries now. Due to the huge belief of Christianity, it was still able to survive even though God died." She said as the word war appeared on screen

"The main reason for the death of God is due to the Great War. Almost every world faction were involved due to the unrest caused by the sudden increase of power of God. While all of us plan to take down God, God is actually preventing the worst from happening and sealed the most dangerous being on the planet. He spent all of his energy in sealing that dragon that when he arrived at the battlefield, he was taken down with the price of many of the top brass of factions dead or injured. That is why we devils have this Evil Piece system to replenish the Devil population." Mother said before ending her presentation.

"Which is also the reason why we devils do contracts to earn power. The remaining devil families are now doing contracts around the world to earn belief and souls of humans so that we can defeat the angels. Which is also your main mission now since you are also a devil. I will explain more to you in the following days so remeber to keep all this a secret. Although people might say that you are only adopted, always remember that we love you as our real son. Which is why I trust that you wouldn't disseminate this secret." Mother said with a gentle smile
