《Devil in My Heart》Deity
Advertisement
There is a very high mountain that is invisible to the human eye. It can only be seen by humans who have divine eyes. Unimaginable height and size. The bottom half of the mountain is in the ocean and the top half of the mountain, towering to the sky. The mountain is surrounded by a vast ocean. The center of the horizon is on the mountain. On top of the mountain is the kingdom of heaven. Being able to be reborn in a heavenly realm is the fruit of virtue in his previous life. The heavenly beings enjoy abundant pleasures, beauty, strength, and long life. A pleasure coveted by humans. Before descending to the human world, Lucien was a divine being. Even though he was born as a god, he thought of himself as just an ordinary god. He didn't much relate with the other gods. This is the story of Lucien's past.
At that time, while walking in the heavenly garden, I heard melodious music. But I don't see who's playing it. I searched for the source of the sound and traced it to the end until out of the garden. There was a view of the open sea that sparkled like stars.
Many colorful fish fly among her and chirp to the tune of the song as well as the dolphins who look happy.
After a while, she stopped and opened her eyes, looked at me, and smiled. Then she stood up and floated in the air. Her elegance could be seen through her pair of wings waving slowly like crystals. Her gentle aura was bathed in the light of the twilight sun. With a celestial dress in a subtle bluish white in harmony with the color of the sea. The dress is simple and has a lively floral pattern surrounding it in a spiral.
For a moment, I was mesmerized by her charm.
"Deg.." I saw her beautiful figure. I usually see the beauty of goddesses, but somehow, she is so impressed in my eyes. The goddess looked like 15 years age of human life. Then I said, "Your song is beautiful. Sorry to bother you." Then she slowly flew up to me saying, "Thanks for the compliment. My name is Lyra. What god are you?" Greet the goddess with her soft lips.

"Aquila." That was the first time I met her. Not long after, we became friends.
The following days I visited her.
"It seems the dolphins like you. They seem excited to hear you play music."
"Just like these Delphinus, I like you too." That's what's on my mind. It didn't take long; I fell in love with her because of the attention she gave. I was impressed by her smile, warmth, and her gentleness during the first meeting.
Not long after, in the north, across the territory of Aquila, a god named Cygnus was born
Between Cygnus and Aquila, there is the goddess named Lyra. But Lyra's residence was closer to Cygnus' residence. The goddess Lyra had been born before them.
She is the goddess who cares for me besides Cygnus. They are both close friends with me. But our friendship didn't last long. I knew that Lyra had paired up with Cygnus. The code of ethics in the realm of the gods is that we are not allowed to take another god's partner.
At that time, there was a group of gods who wanted to attack the kingdom of heaven because of their dissatisfaction and jealousy of other gods. They gathered the gods of the same view and then invited Aquila to join their group.
The god-king knew the movements of that gods and sent another god to watch over them. The god was Cygnus who would later become Claes in the human world. How shocked he was when he found out that Aquila was one of the groups.
"Aquila! Do you know what you're doing?"
"Yeah," replied Aquila with a calm and unconcerned facial expression.
"Why?? Isn't all this enough for you?"
"It's easy for you to say this, because you are so popular, and you are superior to me," he answered with emotion.
Cygnus flinched at his words.
"You know if you go with them. That doesn't rule out the possibility that we'll fight."
"Yes, I'll wait for that day," as soon as he said, Aquila walked away.
Cygnus's heart thumped and sad to hear the words of his close friend. He thought he knew his friend, but he didn't.

The god armies from Aquila and Cygnus' sides faced each other. There was a terrible battle. Aquila and Cygnus fight. Their strength is equal. . He also moved the flow of lightning through his will with the medium of his weapon. The gods flew about to dodge his attack. A god creates a windstorm to break the lightning power from Aquila.
"You can't fire your lightning if you don't want to hurt yourself. Aquila, wake up!!!" While saying that, he continued to suppress his opponent by floating in the air while Aquila was still standing.
But basically, Aquila is also superb, he also increases his magic and pushes Cygnus, and then swings his trident horizontally. The trident was powered by lightning energy. Because of its long size, it was able to reach Cygnus and hit his armor to shreds due to the sharp power of the lightning. Cygnus' bluish energy oozed out due to the friction of Aquila's attack. (In the human world, we call it blood).
"Are you okay?" said the wind god who came over.
"It does not matter," Cygnus said.
We will direct him to the seal area to suppress his power. I'll create a mist to temporarily block his range of vision and you direct him there.
"Well."
Not long after, the fog-shrouded.
"A mist like this is useless with my lightning energy," As Aquila unleashes his lightning, Cygnus attacks and scratches his arm. Cygnus continued to attack him and was parried by Aquila who then also flew. "Attacks like this don't work for me," Aquila said. They fought each other in the air. Until finally Aquila succeeded in being trapped in the seal area. His body felt heavy as if pulled by a strong gravitational force and pulled his body down.
"What?! Turns out this is their purpose." It was then that the wind god and Cygnus combined their powers by directing into the seal formation on Aquila's footing.
"I leave it to you," said the wind god who then flew away.
After slashing it, Aquila cast lightning magic through its pores, and the ice crystal shattered into pieces. Aquila knelt on one knee holding a trident in his right hand for support.
For the third time, Cygnus invited his best friend. But Aquila insisted he didn't want it. With trembling hands holding the sword in both hands indicated that Cygnus was unable to do so.
Aquila looked at his face. "Why? What's wrong with you?"
"Why should it be like this?" asked Cygnus.
"Do it or you will regret it later," replied Aquila.
His tremble stopped for a moment. He also drew a sword to stab him though with a heavy heart. But suddenly...
"Stop!!!" shouted Lyra who flew between the two of them. They both flinched. Then Cygnus drew his sword. The goddess energy dispersed in green mixed with the blue light particles on Cygnus' sword. Aquila and Cygnus both gasped.
"W-why did you even do this?" Aquila asked.
Now the beautiful goddess with wavy blonde hair looked back with a smile and said softly, "I can't stay still while watching you get hurt. Because you are a precious person to me." Aquila burst out with a sad face and held back tears.
Lyra emitted the green energy of the tree which was concentrated in the palm of her right hand. Tree roots grew from Aquila's footing, causing the ground where he stands to crack and break the seal formation. Then Lyra's green energy spirals around Aquila to heal him temporarily. After doing that, she also fell on Cygnus' lap due to her position was closer to him.
Lyra grabbed Cygnus' hand. "Stop... the war. Stop this fight, Cygnus. I hope there will be no more fighting between you two." Tears welled up in the corners of Lyra's eyes. Cygnus who saw it felt like his heart was slashed by a thousand swords, then he was crying.
Aquila stared at what was happening. While he was not being aware of the situation, another god attacked. "Aquila!!! Above you," shouted one of his accomplices.
